C75 Dongfang Yun'er
C75 Dongfang Yun'er
Not only did the Heavenly Dragon Empire have numerous Qi Transformers, they even had peerless experts of the realm above the Qi Transformation Realm. Moreover, since the Heavenly Dragon Empire was in the center of the southern region, the spiritual Qi there was very thick, and it even had numerous heavenly treasures.
For example, take the Yang Opening Fruit that the Chu Family had collected after going through so much trouble. It might be a rare commodity in the Q Country; it was nothing special in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. But, of course, that didn't mean the people there ate Yang Opening Fruits like apples.
Dongfang Yun'er was the fifth daughter of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's current emperor, Dongfang Xiongba. She had a Level-7 talent, and her comprehension ability was even more shocking. Consequently, Dongfang Xiongba doted on her deeply.
Apart from her terrifying talent and outstanding comprehension ability, another thing that made Dongfang Yun'er so popular was her stunning beauty.
According to rumors, Dongfang Xiongba doted on Dongfang Yun'er so much that he wouldn't even let her appear in front of everyone when she was young.
When she became an adult (16 years here), she appeared in public for the first time and took the imperial family's talent test.
It was said that when Dongfang Yun'er appeared, dark clouds covered the bright sun, the flowers in the imperial palace lowered their heads, and even the pearls in the palace dimmed.
Based on the same rumors, all this happened while her face was covered with a veil. Had she taken that silk veil off her face, who knows what would've happened.
The peanut gallery also said that Dongfang Xiongba personally refined Dongfang Yun'er's silk veil. Not only could it prevent others from spying on her, but it was also a powerful defensive spirit weapon.
Also, when Dongfang Yun'er caused such sensation in the outside world, Dongfang Xiongba decreed that Dongfang Yun'er was his most beloved daughter, and she had her own life and happiness in her hand.
No matter who it was, as long as someone could make her willingly take off her veil, he could marry her and become the noblest son-in-law in the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
After hearing Dongfang Xiongba's decree, princes and nobles of the dozen kingdoms under the Heavenly Dragon Empire came rushing to the Heavenly Dragon Empire's imperial city, the Purple Gold City. Even the princes of the other dynasties came rushing to the Purple Gold City and did their best to express their love for Dongfang Yun'er.
After all, those who could get Dongfang Yun'er's love could get not only a peerless beauty but also the support of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
Unfortunately, more than a year had passed; those nobles and princes who had rushed to the Purple Gold City hadn't even seen her once in that span, let alone getting close to her.
If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Dragon Empire was too mighty, they would've used the power behind them to marry Dongfang Yun'er forcefully.
So, why did Dongfang Yun'er, who rarely appeared in public, come to the remote Qi Country? This was the biggest question in Qi Heng's and the others' minds at this moment.
"Princess!" According to the Heavenly Dragon Empire rules, if a prince or princess of the empire were to visit one of their subordinate kingdoms, people with the highest authority there had to go outside the city to welcome them. Dongfang Yun'er had a gentle personality, and she was kind and considerate, so she didn't want to cause too much commotion. Therefore, she asked them to welcome her inside the palace.
"Lord of Qi Country, you are too polite!" A beautiful voice that sounded like an immortal's song rang out. Then, a young girl walked down from the eight-man palanquin.
This girl was wearing a light blue dress. There were some lotus flower patterns on her dress, and her face was covered with a soft white veil. She wore a pure belt on her waist, and there were sixteen blue crystals on it. She was beautiful and elegant.
Her waist was very thin, and it revealed her exquisite figure. Her glass-like eyes were sparkling, and her pupils were like obsidian stones. Her hair was beautifully tied up with a silver jade hairpin, and she seemed devastatingly beautiful.
The only regret was that there was a thin white muslin veil on her jade-like face.
"I am Liu Xiaozong!"
"I am Chu Tianyun!"
"I am Wang Hai!"
"We pay our respects to you, Princess!" After Dongfang Yun'er walked out of the palanquin, the patriarch of the three great families hurried forward to greet her.
Dongfang Yun'er nodded and did not look at the three patriarchs directly. Instead, she walked toward the Zhengtai Hall under Qi Heng's lead.
Although Dongfang Yun'er did not pay attention to the three patriarchs, they didn't feel offended. Instead, they followed closely behind her guards, wanting to enter the Zhengtai Hall together.
However, when the middle-aged woman walking beside Dongfang Yun'er saw that the three patriarchs were following them, her face darkened, and she let out a cold snort.
Then, as if hit by an invisible hammer, the three patriarchs took a few steps back, and blood began oozing from the corners of their mouths.
Liu Xiaozong looked at the middle-aged woman who was walking away and clenched his fists. A flame of anger ignited in his heart. Although he was not as strong as the middle-aged woman, no matter what, he was still the Liu Family's patriarch. Disrespecting him was the same as disrespecting his entire family.
The middle-aged woman disrespectfully used a dirty trick to hit him. How could the proud and arrogant Liu Xiaozong accept it? He decided to bury this hatred deep in his heart, biding his time to take his revenge.
He swore in his heart that once he became a Qi transformer, he would definitely go to the Heavenly Dragon Empire and settle his score with this middle-aged woman.
As for Chu Tianyun and Wang Hai, although they were also angry, they knew that they weren't as strong as the middle-aged woman, so they could only helplessly accept the reality.
They only felt bitter that Qi Yiloong could follow the imperial group thanks to his royal status. How could that woman put Qi Yiloong above them?
Although Dongfang Yun'er would not even care about someone like Qi Yiloong at all, there was still a possibility...
A possibility that Dongfang Yun'er falls for Qi Yiloong, and they get married in the end.
In that case, the royal family's strength would skyrocket thanks to the imperial family's support. Then, with the grudges the Qi Family held against the three great families... Suffice to say, they wouldn't get the good ending.
When Chu Tianyun thought of this, he could not help but look at Liu Xiaozong and Wang Hai. Liu Xiaozong didn't consider this possibility when he decided to hold a grudge against that middle-aged woman. However, Wang Hai's eyes held the same worry.
When their eyes met, both Wang Hai and Chu Tianyun knew what the other was thinking.
