Regardless of whether the kings of the surrounding small countries were ambitious or not, they would still care very much about these strange phenomena. Who knew if they would become the monarchs of this small country … A good opportunity to expand?

"Please, King Xiu, release my men. Don't make things difficult for them." Ling Tian then served a cup of tea, hinting to the tea artist beside him that he could go down first.

"Little Wang doesn't dare." Duanmu Xiu was still very modest.

The king of a small country in the East China Sea was considered a vassal state of the Great Cheng Dynasty. If he met King Ling and the queen, he would have no choice but to bow his head in submission.

"You kings …" Ling Tian let out a sigh as he shook his head, "I don't dare to say it, but what I do is a completely different set."

If he really did not dare to do so, then he should have turned a blind eye and pretended that he did not know of this matter.

She thought that Prince Xiu was smart enough not to investigate this matter in depth, but she never thought that … King Xiu had actually made a big fuss and boarded the ship.

This ship of hers was not easy to board either.

"Little Wang really did not make things difficult for them." Duanmu Xiu explained.

"So you came aboard to make things difficult for me." Ling Qing asked in a joking tone.

"I don't dare." Duanmu Xiu sat facing her and lowered his head. "I've heard a lot of legends about the sea. There are some strange people that can cause the island to drift, so I've sent people to keep an eye on it. I didn't expect that this floating island would actually be a large ship."

"As for the owner of the boat," Duanmu Xiu picked up the cup of tea and raised his eyes to look at the elegant and refined young girl before him. "It's actually the Queen Mother of the Great Cheng Dynasty."

He remembered that the first time he saw her, she was still a delicate and pretty spirited attendant that was filled with grief and sorrow.

The second time he saw her, she had already been crowned as a descendant.

Now that they had met again, he looked even more like a phoenix rebirth, dazzling and dazzling.

"Are you surprised?" Ling Tian Qing laughed and asked.

He didn't know what would happen in the future. He didn't know what he would encounter. His life had always been filled with countless surprises during his adventures … Panic.

"You want to hear the truth?" Duanmu Xiu was silent for a moment before he nodded. "Indeed, but more importantly … "Terrified."

After the avalanche at the top of the mountain, the spies reported that Ling Jin had dispatched a large number of elite soldiers to search for "talent" and to count the shops.

Two months ago, with the help of their business dealings, Eastsea Country had also received a large number of strange merchants who were scouting everywhere for news — they were searching for the Queen.

"If King Xiu doesn't board the ship, he won't be afraid." If Ling Tian Qing cultivated to become a king, he would definitely not cause himself trouble.

Now that he was on the ship, it would not be easy for him to disembark.

"If Prince Ling finds out, the Queen would actually … Travelling through the East China Sea, I'm afraid that this little country, Little Wang, will no longer be at peace. " Duanmu Xiu originally wanted to say that he was hiding in the East Sea, but he felt that it wasn't appropriate.

Although his spies were powerful, no one knew why the Queen would leave the palace.

The imperial palace of the imperial city was like a sealed iron jar. No information would be released.

They could only guess that perhaps the feud between the Emperor and the Emperor had reached an irreparable point …

"As long as King Xiu treats tonight as a dream, he won't cause any trouble." Ling Tian then smiled and made a gesture of sealing his mouth.

"Perhaps the Empress did not know that Peng Ze had brought a lot of business people with him in the past few days. The dragons and snakes were mixed, and his ears and eyes were all over the place. This little prince has forgotten about this, but others may not." Duanmu Xiu said in a soft voice.

The people looking for Ling Tian were not just Ling Lingqing.

It also included spies and assassins from other countries.

If the Phoenix Body were to fall into another country, it might even change the course of events …

Or to assassinate, as long as Phoenix didn't self-destruct but was eliminated by someone else, the destiny of the heavens would be shaken …

"That's true. With the King of Cultivators acting in such a manner, he would have probably attracted the attention of others long ago." Ling Tian then sighed, "Then what should I do?"

Ling Tian Qing obviously knew what she had to do, she just wanted to know what Duanmu Xiu was thinking.

However, she was already clear on Duanmu Xiu's intentions.

"For the sake of the friendship between the two countries, this little king will send someone to inform Duke Ling to escort the Empress safely back to the palace." Duanmu Xiu respectfully said.

"What if I don't return?" Ling Tianqing drank her tea and asked slowly.

Duanmu Xiu did not speak a word of truth. As expected, those who were kings were full of schemes.

"Why hasn't the Empress returned?" Duanmu Xiu took the opportunity to ask.

He only wanted to probe what had happened between Ling Qing and Ling Jing.

"I'm not happy to see him." Ling Tian Qing said lightly.

"But if anything happens to Empress while in the East Sea, I cannot afford it." Duanmu Xiu said in a soft voice.

This time, Ling Qing did not reply, but poured tea and drank it slowly.

She was wearing a formal Han dress, and when she drank tea, her wide sleeves were slightly tucked up in an elegant manner.

After a long period of silence, the incense rose in spirals, making people feel drowsy.

"King Xiu thinks that nothing will happen if he sends me back to the Great Cheng?" Ling Tianqing finally asked with a sweet and clear voice.

Of course Duanmu knew that he couldn't force the Queen.

Judging by her skill in shipbuilding, he could roughly guess why she was able to escape from his grasp.

He did not dare to underestimate someone that even Ling Jin could not handle.

"This little prince is in a remote place and doesn't dare make enemies with a large country. If the esteemed wangfei is unwilling to return, this little prince can only request for Duke Ling to condescend to come …"

"What does King Xiu think of my boat?" Ling Tianqing interrupted Duanmu Xiu and asked.

Duanmu Xiu stared blankly. This boat … Unbelievable. There were strange flowers and strange fruits on it, making it seem like a treasure trove.

Did she want to bribe him with it?

"Little Wang has only seen the tip of the iceberg. It's extremely exquisite." Duanmu Xiu answered truthfully.

"The tip of the iceberg, you're right about that." Ling Tian Qing laughed as he gently rubbed the porcelain cup, "The ship uses the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul. It can withstand a hundred levels of wind and waves, and has an excellent rebound and balance. Manpower cannot do anything about it."

"Ten thousand year Ice Soul?" Duanmu Xiu did not notice, because there was another layer of thousand-year foil outside the body of the boat.

Most importantly, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul was extremely rare. One piece could sell for a thousand gold, how much money did the Queen spend to collect so many treasures?

"The trees planted on the outside of the ship have a Heavenly Star Array. If the Cultivator didn't have someone leading the way, then he might still be wandering around outside." Ling Tian Qing continued.

Duanmu Xiu didn't notice that there was something out there.

"Ever since I arrived here, I've discovered that although the defensive system is important, only by having a stronger attack power can one avoid being humiliated by others." Ling Tian then said with a smile, "Therefore, the ship has some ammunition on it. If it were not for King Xiu's men, I'm afraid that the hundred official ships outside would have already sank."

Ling Qing was very modest, not lying at all.

"Arms?" Duanmu Xiu suddenly felt that he had indeed … Shouldn't have been on board.

"I'm sure that King Xiu must have known that the Vault of Heaven Mountain was razed to the ground overnight." Ling Tian Qing said with a smile.

This "point" of firearms could almost destroy a mountain.

She roamed everywhere normally. Once she had a boat, she could search every kind of island for rare items. Not only were there all kinds of strange flowers and herbs that could not be bought, there were also all kinds of explosives that could easily destroy an island.

"That thing... "It really does have something to do with you …" Duanmu Xiu was finally unable to hold back any longer.

To have this kind of incredible ability, sure enough … I can't keep her.

"Really?" Ling Tian then smiled gently, "The cultivation king is quite meticulous with his investigations."

That was too huge of a matter, how could Ling Chao possibly suppress it?

"Empress, this little prince has a favor to ask of you." Duanmu Xiu no longer tried to test the waters with a different method. He got up, lifted up his robe, and kneeled down on one knee.

"There is no need for the Immortal Cultivation King to perform such a great courtesy." Ling Qing was not the least bit surprised by his actions.

This was because she had long since known of Duanmu Xiu's ambitions.

The first time she saw this seemingly warm-hearted and amiable Crown Prince Xiu, she could sense his ambition from his words and actions.

"Little Wang has always wanted to become the ruler of this world, but alas, it's just too peaceful …" Duanmu Xiu wanted to force her to join him before boarding the ship.

But after boarding the ship, he became increasingly afraid to act rashly.

Although the people on the boat looked ordinary, with many women and children, they would not bend over to listen to orders just because he was the king.

"Even though Ling Jin and I met with a grudge, I don't want to hshep you destroy his country." Ling Tianqing interrupted Duanmu Xiu. When she mentioned the name "Ling Chao", he had already calmed down, as if she was talking to an old friend who did not have a good relationship with him in her previous life.

"Little Wang definitely didn't mean it that way. I just hope that esteemed …"

"Stop calling me the Empress, I am no longer the queen of another country." Ling Qing interrupted him as he spoke.

"King Xiu, you should get up. I am only treating you as a friend from the old days, drinking tea and reminiscing about the past. What important matter of the country are you talking about? Isn't it too disheartening?" Ling Tianqing held onto Duanmu Xiu's arm, trying to pull him up.

At this moment, Duanmu Xiu's hand shot out like lightning and pointed at the large acupoint on her chest. "Empress, please forgive this humble prince for his rudeness …"

Before he finished speaking, his fingertip felt a numbing sensation, as if an invisible force had blocked his inner strength.

Immediately, his internal force seemed to disappear as well.

Was it incense or was there a problem with the tea?

"King Xiu doesn't want to reminisce about the past with me. Just say it directly. Why do you need to make a move?" Ling Tian Qing patted his clothes lightly, "It's hard for me to see you in your formal attire."

Her personal clothes were excellent, insulated goods. They were even rarer than the materials used to make the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul. They were able to reduce the impact from the outside world's power.

Ye Cheng and Xiao Yun, who were standing guard outside, didn't make a fuss and rushed in.

Because on this ship, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to use a single strand of inner force.

The flowers and plants on this boat were not just for appreciation.

As long as he did not use any Qi, his body would not feel any discomfort, but if he wanted to start a massacre on the ship, he was afraid... He could only be like an ordinary person, competing in endurance and speed.

Ye Cheng had tried countless times, but he still could not break through the defense of Ling Qing's ship.

Thus, he was also an ordinary person on the ship.

However … The speed at which the sword was drawn was fast and his physique was good, so it was a huge advantage.

"Empress, don't misunderstand. This prince is just …" Duanmu Xiu was inwardly shocked. He thought that he had been poisoned, but after withdrawing his inner force, there was nothing unusual about his body.

"Since we've already made our move, there's no point in explaining." "Also, stop calling me Empress." Ling Tian then closed his collar and turned around to leave.

"Little Wang has no intentions of hurting you. Please do not blame me." Duanmu Xiu was afraid that if she really left, he wouldn't be able to get off this labyrinthine ship.

Back then, when they first met Ling Tian Qing, they thought that she was a spy sent by Hua Hou. After some investigation, they realized that she was actually a phoenix.

It was a pity that he did not know about it back then. Furthermore, he was in the capital and the Phoenix Body was easily taken away by Ling Zui.
