This Figure, the Kid Won't Go Hungry!

Within the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tianxuan Continent!

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory has sent someone to deliver a message."

Inside the magnificent palace, a middle-aged man clad in a pitch-black Dragon Robe stood expressionless.

"Read it."

"Ziwei has begun to move, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou stars have shifted, pointing towards the south, precisely towards the Great Gan Dynasty in the southern part of the continent."

"The Imperial Observatory's Wang Chun states that the Great Gan Dynasty's National Destiny is currently flourishing, showing signs of vying for control of the world, which could threaten our nation..."

Upon hearing this, the man put down the brush in his hand and chuckled as he looked at the eunuch before him.

"Oh? With just a mere Void Breaking level woman, can she cause turmoil for our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory's calculations have never been wrong. They haven't missed anything these past years. If there's truly trouble, why not simply conquer the country..."

"A mere speck of land, with a woman overseeing the state, hardly worth worrying about."

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment before turning and exiting.

Just as the middle-aged man was wondering, the person the old eunuch had called for had already arrived.

When the man saw the Discipline Whip enshrined in the ancestral temple, he was stunned.

"Eunuch Li, what are you doing? Have I done something wrong?"

The old eunuch said helplessly, "The Former Emperor's will stated that future rulers should be cautious and not arrogant, practice self-discipline, cultivate themselves, and secure the nation. The Great Zhou's ten-thousand-year foundation was not built in a day."

"The ancestors of the Great Gan Dynasty once produced an Ascended Cultivator. According to the Imperial Observatory's calculations, that person has not yet perished and is still in the Upper Realm, protecting them with their National Destiny. Your Majesty's current impatience goes against the ancestral laws..."

As he spoke, the eunuch took the Discipline Whip. His expression, which had been somewhat complex and hesitant moments before, instantly turned stern!

"Great Zhou Emperor Ying Dang, do you recognize this object!"

The middle-aged man involuntarily knelt down abruptly, suppressed by the powerful aura until he was on his knees.

"Ying Dang recognizes it!"

"You have now defied ancestral teachings. According to the law, you shall be punished with three lashes. Do you have any objections!"

"Ying Dang dares not defy ancestral teachings and is completely convinced!"

Slap, slap, slap!

Three lashes from the Discipline Whip had the man completely incapacitated. The old eunuch quickly put away the whip and stepped forward to check Ying Dang's injuries.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory's people are not mistaken. That Dragon Qi is suppressing our Great Zhou Dynasty's National Destiny! Given time, it will make it impossible for that Empress to restrain herself..."

The old eunuch quickly cast a spell to heal Ying Dang, whose expression gradually shifted from dismissive to calm.

"Eunuch Wang, do you truly believe that woman is not simple?"

"In the early years, our Great Zhou Dynasty only occupied a corner of the land, not even ranking among the Five Great Dynasties. Now, through the efforts of several generations of wise rulers, accumulating thousands of years of heritage, and diligent governance, we have achieved this magnificent state. Any potential threat must be eliminated..."

The man nodded, his composure returning.

"However, as the foremost of the Five Great Dynasties, our Great Zhou Dynasty once declared that the five nations would share the world. If we act openly now, it would damage our national prestige."

"Since it is the Dragon Qi that is rising, have the people from the Imperial Observatory find the source of the Dragon Qi and sever its roots. This method is hidden. Even if it is discovered, they would not dare to openly challenge our Great Zhou Dynasty."

The old eunuch bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise. Coincidentally, the Empress of the Great Gan Dynasty has already chosen her Emperor. I heard it was confirmed hastily, and they are likely preparing for the ceremony. Why not take this opportunity to send someone..."

The man pondered for a moment and looked at the old eunuch.

"Eunuch Wang, you will go personally to ensure this matter is foolproof."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister expression on his face.

"If the source of that Dragon Qi is that Empress, at the very least, cripple her cultivation. If there's an opportunity, kill her directly!"

A few Void Breaking cultivators were nothing in his eyes, Ying Dang's.

But that Dragon Qi was a symbol of National Destiny.

And it dared to suppress the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Did they even consider if their Great Gan Dynasty had the capital for it!

As for the other dynasties, their reactions varied.

Some sought to win them over, while others, like the Great Zhou Dynasty, were contemplating ways to target them.

They would simply wait for the wedding invitations.

And then they would send their heavy gifts.

But the question was, could the Great Gan Dynasty handle it!

Within the Great Gan Dynasty, various factions evaluated these anomalies differently.

However, coinciding with the day His Majesty established the Emperor, the dynasty's National Destiny surged, and it was directly interpreted as an auspicious sign!

With this Emperor, the Great Gan Dynasty would prosper!

While the Imperial Palace was bustling with activity outside, it was remarkably quiet outside Chu Ning's chambers.

This door, my wife won't let me in...

Even though he'd explained it several times, saying that without Xiao Bing, no one could help her change, and that it was more comfortable to take off clothes when resting, his wife wouldn't listen!

Sigh! As the Emperor, how can I change myself? Isn't he here?

After his midday meal, he took a nap and slept until evening.

During this time, Chu Ning went to Mingde Hall a few times. He casually handled any memorials he found and took them to Qianqing Palace. Once Ye Qinglian woke up and reviewed them without issue, he had Xiao Bing deliver them to the Grand Secretariat.

This nap, it was so long.

Chu Ning waited until the sun went down. Xiao Bing had even returned from outside the Holy Land!

"Huh? Mister Chu, what are you doing outside Her Majesty's chambers?"

Chu Ning glanced at Xiao Bing and righteously explained, "Qinglian is resting. Isn't this me, waiting on standby for her to wake up and help her change?"

Xiao Bing froze for a moment, then her eyes widened!

"Could it be, Mister Chu, that you've already helped Her Majesty change!"

"That..."

Chu Ning calmly changed the subject, observing the aura on Xiao Bing.

"How was your training at the Ye Family Holy Land today?"

Xiao Bing sighed upon hearing this, sounding somewhat regretful.

"I used quite a lot of resources, and even entered the Holy Land's secret realm to train, but I feel it wasn't as fast as training within the Imperial Palace. I was just thinking of telling Her Majesty that it might be better to stay in the Imperial Palace."

Chu Ning smiled without speaking.

"It's faster to come back for lunch and then train. How can you focus on training when you're hungry?"

Xiao Bing shook her head and explained earnestly, "Cultivators value abstaining from grains. Not eating three meals a day and not consuming grains is the best state for cultivation."

"Then you've been hungry all day, how's your cultivation speed?"

Xiao Bing scratched her head, also confused.

"It doesn't seem to have much speed. Could it really be because I haven't eaten enough? Then I'll try training again after I freeload dinner tonight..."

Chu Ning laughed and scolded, "So you're shamelessly freeloading now, huh? You don't even help out with cooking, you just freeload?"

The young girl chuckled.

"It's just that you and Her Majesty can't finish it all, so it can't be wasted. Xiao Bing is just appreciating Mister Chu's culinary skills..."

"Xiao Bing is back? Come help me change."

Chu Ning shot Xiao Bing a look, signaling her not to act rashly!

I'll do it!

Then, he immediately approached the door.

"Qinglian, you misheard. It wasn't Xiao Bing, it was me talking to myself..."

With that, he pushed the door open.

"Husband is here to help you change, hehehehe..."

A figure was suddenly sent flying backward, and Chu Ning landed directly in a flower bed not far away.

Xiao Bing showed no sympathy, only helplessness.

"Mister, Her Majesty was merciful. Otherwise, your life would be in danger. It's better to leave this kind of thing to Xiao Bing..."

Chu Ning, rubbing his backside not far away, looked on with a sigh.

If people didn't know, they'd think I was an outsider. What's wrong with my husband helping with changing? I'm not peeking...

Ye Qinglian's voice from within the chambers immediately came through.

"Get lost!"

Sigh...

Can't get close to watch, but I can still peek, right?

However, after thinking about it, Chu Ning decided against it.

There will be a day when I can see.

Keep some anticipation.

Forget it, I'll just take a quick glance...

Tsk tsk tsk, this figure, two kids wouldn't go hungry!

Adding another big one should also be enough to feed...
