No, You Are Not My Daughter!

Chapter 35: No, You Are Not My Daughter!

Everyone on the scene seemed to be struck by lightning and frozen in place.

Ji Shouqian was even more confused, fearful, and bewildered.

Yes, his expression before death vividly illustrated his utter confusion; he had no idea what was happening.

King Ji Yonghao swept his gaze over An Bulang, and their eyes met.

An Bulang smiled and nodded.

King Ji Yonghao skillfully concealed the shock in his eyes, his confidence seemingly boosted. He looked up at the sky and roared, "Heavenly God, you say I am guilty, then strike me dead! What's the point of striking down a demon? Strike me, this King!!"

Rumble…

From the overcast sky, another bolt of lightning descended.

Blue lightning fiercely struck a person. The eardrums of almost all the officials present felt as if they were being torn apart.

Lightning had indeed struck, but it wasn't King Ji Yonghao.

Jia Yuxuan's eyes widened. His body was scorched black, and before he could even scream, he fell straight down.

Hiss… Everyone gasped.

"This… my grandson…" Jia Gucheng's eyes widened, his voice becoming urgent, his fists clenching slightly.

An Bulang smiled slightly. He had merely drawn a lucky winner from the officials who stepped forward to receive the Lightning Gift Package.

As for why it was Jia Yuxuan, it was just a coincidence.

"This is bad, this formation has been tampered with. Clearly, the formation eye, Ji Shouqian, has been destroyed, yet it's still operational. This means it's been a case of the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest!" Elder Wu Xuzi of the Soaring Dragon Empire's royal family said with a grave expression.

The other two elders, Huan Yin and Huan Ling, also had changes in their expressions.

"Impossible. If the great formation was controlled by someone else, why would we have had no awareness of it?" Huan Yin exclaimed, her beautiful eyes wide.

Qin Shiyue was equally perplexed, "Setting up the great formation and then avoiding our detection, and manipulating the formation without anyone knowing, are operations of completely different difficulty levels. Who could possibly have such great ability?"

Elder Wu Xuzi looked towards the white-clothed youth not far away, "The only one on the scene capable of doing this is him… we underestimated him."

Qin Shiyue was stunned at first, then bit her red lips tightly, her bright eyes seeming to spew flames, "It's him again, it's really An Bulang again…"

"Hahaha…" King Ji Yonghao laughed heartily on the altar. "Didn't you say the Heavenly God has manifested? Then fine, I'll go by your words. The Heavenly God has truly manifested! The Heavenly God wants to strike down sinners, so Ji Shouqian and Jia Yuxuan are dead! They are the true sinners!"

Saying this, he cast a meaningful glance at the officials who had stood with Jia Yuxuan, intending to force him to kneel with ulterior motives, and said with a half-smile, "Now, the Heavenly God is going to continue to manifest…"

"Your Majesty, spare me!"

"Your Majesty, spare me!!"

Thump, thump, thump…

The officials with weak wills had already knelt on the ground, begging for mercy loudly.

The turn of events on the scene had exceeded everyone's expectations. Even the officials of the Crown Prince's faction were at a loss.

"Father, why did you threaten and attempt to harm a court minister during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?" Ji Wuye stepped forward, his face filled with heartbroken indignation.

"Ji Wuye, aren't you afraid of the Heavenly God striking you with lightning for speaking such nonsense?"

A clear voice, as refreshing as a flowing spring, suddenly rang out, falling clearly into everyone's ears.

"Who is it?!" Ji Wuye's gaze turned cold.

At this moment, a young girl wearing a sky-blue princess dress and a white cloud-patterned veil slowly walked towards the altar.

Her youthful figure, slender like a willow branch, exuded perfection from every aspect. Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, and the skin beneath her collar was snow-white and luminous. Although her full face couldn't be seen, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, and her eyes held the captivating charm of autumn waters, which was more than enough to be enchanting.

With just a glance, everyone felt as if they were seeing a fairy descending to earth.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, the girl let out a bell-like laugh, "My dear brother, you've even forgotten me? I am your sister, Ji Yinyin."

"Ji Yinyin?" Ji Wuye froze for a moment, then his eyelids twitched, and he said angrily, "Do you take me for a fool?!"

Qin Shiyue also sneered, "We've seen Ji Yinyin before, she's an ugly monster. Let alone not seeing your face, just this skin as fair and lustrous as white jade couldn't possibly belong to her."

"I've also seen Ji Yinyin, she's an incredibly ugly princess."

"Isn't she always the royal family's scandal? No one in the royal family isn't ashamed of her."

"Thinking about it now, it's truly not easy that she hasn't been dealt with for so long."

"This woman's temperament is so outstanding, she absolutely cannot be Ji Yinyin!"

Whether it was the civil and military officials by the altar or the royal family members, they all began to discuss animatedly.

"Alas…" The girl sighed helplessly upon seeing this. "Why don't you believe me? You're forcing me to reveal my true appearance…"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Now I will let you all witness my true appearance, Ji Yinyin!"

The girl, in front of everyone, abruptly tore off the veil covering her face.

That exquisite and flawless face was thus revealed to everyone's eyes without reservation, causing everyone to hold their breath.

She was simply too beautiful! Everyone had never seen a woman of such beauty.

That wasn't a beauty that could belong to the mortal realm!

No matter who it was, they all fell before her beauty. Men's hearts fluttered, while women paled in comparison.

"I don't deserve to be a woman," one of the concubines began to weep softly.

Seeing everyone's shocked faces, Ji Yinyin felt a surge of pride, as if she were finally releasing all the grievances and dissatisfaction she had accumulated over more than a decade!

She shouted, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, am I not Ji Yinyin!!"

The entire venue fell into an eerie silence.

King Ji Yonghao: "No! You are not my daughter!"

Ji Wuye shook his head repeatedly: "My sister could never be this cute."

Ji Yinyin: "..."

Perhaps feeling his statement was too abrupt and inappropriate, King Ji Yonghao added tactfully, "Fairy, who are you? Why are you impersonating my daughter?"

"I... I am Ji Yinyin! Look at my features, can't you see any resemblance?" Ji Yinyin was so angry she felt like spitting blood, biting her lower lip.

King Ji Yonghao and Ji Wuye wore looks of bewilderment. They stared intently at Ji Yinyin for a long while, trying to find any clue, but in the end, they had to give up. How could this beautiful fairy possibly be Ji Yinyin!

Ji Yinyin was utterly despairing. The situation had unfolded quite differently from what she had imagined.

She had clearly intended to amaze everyone and vindicate herself today...

At this moment, Elder Wu Xuzi, standing beside Qin Shiyue, became incredibly excited.

His face flushed red, and he gazed at Ji Yinyin with intense fervor, saying, "Regardless of whether she is Ji Yinyin or not, we must have her!"

Qin Shiyue felt a pang of jealousy at Ji Yinyin's appearance. Hearing this, she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"I can sense that the spiritual energy within her is extremely pure, and her aptitude is top-tier. She is absolutely the best cultivation genius I have ever seen. Coupled with her peerless beauty... our King will surely adore her!!" Elder Wu Xuzi's face gradually showed a hint of fanaticism and excitement.

Qin Shiyue frowned, "You want her to become your father's core disciple?"

"No, she should become your Empress Mother!" Elder Wu Xuzi exclaimed excitedly. "With the Empress position currently vacant, such aptitude and such beauty should rightfully make her the Empress of the Soaring Dragon Empire!!"

Qin Shiyue: "???"

Qin Shiyue's beautiful eyes widened, and she suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

Ji Yinyin was going to be her mother?!

The scene began to stir with unrest.

An Bulang noticed that ever since his beautiful disciple made her appearance, the atmosphere seemed to have taken a turn for the bizarre.

He immediately walked forward, personally taking charge of the situation.

"That's right, this young lady is indeed Ji Yinyin!"

"Furthermore, Crown Prince Ji Wuye, don't forget your rebellion plan! Get back to the important matters!!"

An Bulang said earnestly, looking at the handsome Ji Wuye.
