I know, that was the result of his battle with the Bird Empress. It seems like her magic power is on par with his master's!
His Master was clearly having a hard time, and the flames behind the Queen of Birdmen were getting more and more intense … Suddenly, a shrill of a child could be heard. It seemed to be the crown prince!
Queen Bird's body paused for a second as the flames on her body halted. Then, with the force of a thunderbolt, she pounced towards her opponent with a shrill cry …
Bird Person suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The wings on his back were actually broken by his master, Bing Ling! Blood surged out as the black feathers and red flames filled the sky. She immediately turned pale from the pain and fainted!
"Empress Pei!" I cried out in alarm and abruptly grabbed Master's hand, "Master, you have to show mercy!"
However, Master turned a deaf ear to my screams. Even my extended hand had turned empty … My hand actually passed through Master's body, and it felt empty air!
It was as though everything in front of me was just an illusion, and even though I could see it, I couldn't touch it at all!
I was stupefied, while my master continued with his actions. His eyes had a hint of pity in them as he sighed, "I didn't expect that I, Xuan Yue, would be so despicable that I would bully weak women and children one day …"
He raised his hand and called upon the ten thousand streaks of ice. He hesitated slightly in midair, but when he saw the pair of black wings, he closed his eyes and slashed down viciously!
With a bang, a hurricane spiraled over from the silver barrier!
I couldn't stand steadily and was blown by the strong wind that was comparable to a typhoon of the twelfth grade, flying straight into the sky!
"Master, save me …"
I screamed, but no one paid any attention to me! The last thing she heard was Xuan Yue mumbling to himself … To burn all the feathers... A motherless child is the most pitiful … Sigh …
"Ah, help!"
I shouted, and struggled violently. Finally, I felt as if I had fallen into a spring, and a wave of cold engulfed me!
Struggling and sinking violently in the water, all the swimming skills I've learned are useless. I can only feel waves of cold engulfing my head...
Faintly, I saw a three or four year old child squatting on the shore, looking at me with his cold peach blossom. His blood-red eyes were shining with a devilish light.
"Mu Yu, save me …"
I reached out to him for help, but he only sneered, playing with a black feather in his hand.
Finally, he stood up and raised his hand to pull me away from the water. When I opened my eyes, what I saw was Qing Ling's face!
"Ya, Qing Ling?"
I cried out, and then everything around me retreated and vanished; and I found myself lying in the side hall of the Palace of the Heavy Flower, in my bedroom!
Qing Ling was sitting on the edge of the bed, shaking me violently. "Ah Wu, Ah Wu, wake up!"
When I saw everything clearly, I was stunned … So it was a dream!
Qing Ling said, "Ying'er, have you had a nightmare?"
I nodded but didn't dare tell him about the dream.
He always felt that the dream was too real, as if he had experienced it for himself.
"You've been having nightmares lately, and this is not good. It could be a hallucination caused by facing a Heavenly Jewel … Female pearls have the function of memory, and they are old. If one is near them at a close distance, it is easy for one to cause some confusion … Don't sleep with them, just use them when you're meditating. "
I'm depressed... I use them to assist in my meditation! However, he had accidentally fallen asleep while meditating just now …
A month later, I took a pill that could treat my wounds with the Chao Tian Pearl powder, and my body gradually recovered. Now, other than my Demonic Energy being much weaker than before, the rest of my problems were nothing to me. It doesn't matter if my demonic powers are weaker. I can continue to cultivate in the future. As long as my body is better, there will be hope!
It was late autumn when I was able to get out of bed and hop around in the yard.
Mid-Autumn Festival, the harem in the imperial garden held a feast, invited all the first-name wives, illustrious girls, and harem women together. Because I was Qingling's martial nephew, I was also invited.
This is not the time for me to be in the limelight, so I only briefly dressed up. As for the gowns and such, naturally there would be a green feather custom-made for me. They were very simple and elegant colors, and he understood my intentions very well.
The Tianyu Dynasty was a country of ceremonies and etiquette, with the most emphasis on the defense of men and women. Apart from the empress dowager, empress, and several concubines accompanying the emperor, the rest of the ladies were seated separately from the men, separated by beaded curtains in the middle. The ladies of the harem were placed apart from the ladies because of their high status.
After the banquet began, I sat quietly in my seat, eating and drinking without speaking to anyone. Qing Ling had also taught me to be a low-key person in the world. In order to not bring him any trouble, I had lowered my head and tried to set up a background board, for the first time ever. In addition, there were so many delicious things to eat at the palace banquet that I had never seen them before, so I was happy to be at ease and didn't have time to hook up with the beauties …
Unfortunately, I intentionally made a background panel, but someone had to make a palette next to it.
For example, those young mistresses from the Shang Shu Family and the assistant minister's family were all very annoying. They were surrounded by a beautiful woman who dressed beautifully, praising me, "Sister Gu, your necklace is so pretty … Is this the newest design from the palace? "
The sound was especially loud, as if it was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear it.
Prime Minister Gu's daughter, Gu Yunxi, pretended to be very modest as she replied, "Aiya, esteemed empress gave it to me. It's so precious that I normally wouldn't dare to wear it. Today's a banquet at the palace, so I thought it was too shabby, which was why I overstepped myself …"
The young lady of the Shang clan said, "The empress is your aunt by blood. The things she bestowed can't be considered as overstepping one's boundaries …" "However, from what I see, some people don't seem to understand etiquette at all. They actually dare to wear jewelry that doesn't match their status …"
After saying that, pairs of disdainful eyes stare at me. I am stunned … What does it have to do with me? Did I wear any overbearing jewelry?
I'm like that monk from eight years old, I don't know what to make of it... The only jewelry that I have on me is the Jade Seal Golden Steps! And that was given to him by Qing Ling.
Well, maybe they weren't talking about me? Tsk, a bunch of boring women, I'm too lazy to care about you!
I lowered my head and silently struggled against a plate of Eight Treasures Glass Soup …
Upon seeing this, that Gu Yunxi actually took the initiative to walk up and talk to me.
She affectionately called out "Sister Bai" and then enviously looked at Jin Bu Wang, who was standing above me. "It's really quite unique …"
I honestly replied, "It was given to me by Qing Ling."
Her face stiffened, and after a long time she reluctantly said, "So it was His Highness the Crown Prince who gave it to me …" "I've never heard that His Highness took the initiative to give girls gifts. Elder sister Bai sure is fortunate …"
I smiled. "You like it?" "Then I'll ask him to make another one for you!"
Although Gu Yunxi said "I dare not", a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She then found an excuse and left.
How strange!
I was stunned as I watched her return to the midst of those young mistresses. After that, those young mistresses were immediately filled with righteous indignation! They all said that I was intentionally provoking them? He really didn't know where this crime came from. But if they want to say that, I have no choice. At most, I can just fight with them! However, they didn't dare to really come forward and criticize me. They only made a bunch of small discussions and covered their mouths with their fan, as if the fan were a silencer …
Alright, I admit that their voices aren't that loud, and the people sitting in the same seat as me might not be able to hear them clearly, but everyone, don't forget that I am a fox demon.
