Before long,
Lu Chen still chose six Supreme Heaven Pills. With the great war against the Hundred Battles Territory imminent, improving the strength of everyone in the Nine Nether Palace was clearly the best choice.
Within the Nine Nether Palace.
Jiuyou sat quietly upon the throne, reviewing the memorials submitted by the various city lords.
During this period, the Nine Nether Palace had consecutively annexed more than a hundred cities. The territory under its command had expanded to an unprecedented extent, and all kinds of trivial affairs had suddenly multiplied. She was no longer as carefree as before.
Every day, she had to spend two or three hours dealing with the memorials submitted by the various factions. Some were insignificant, some concerned disputes over resources, and some involved conflicts with the forces of the Various Kings...
Even though Jiuyou was a Supreme Realm expert, she was kept overwhelmingly busy for a time.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
Without even raising her head, Jiuyou spoke. From those familiar footsteps alone, she already knew who had come.
Lu Chen strode into the great hall.
Jiuyou had removed the black armor she usually wore and changed into a magnificent purple-black qipao. The dress fit snugly around her body, outlining her curvaceous figure.
Coupled with her cool, aloof face, she exuded the mature and lofty aura of a queen from head to toe, making one unable to resist the urge to bow in worship.
Seemingly sensing Lu Chen's gaze, Jiuyou raised her head. Their eyes met for an instant, but she neither avoided nor evaded his gaze, staring straight at him.
Lu Chen, however, guiltily shifted his eyes away. He gave a light cough, rubbed his nose, and said, "Sister Jiuyou, I have something to discuss with you."
