Checking in at the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Palace and receiving the Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame
"You'll find out then," Jia Xingtian said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Qian Ye was speechless. Well, it wouldn't hurt to meet this princess of the Jia Ma Empire, the future heir to the throne.
According to the original book, Princess Yao Ye and Yao Yue are sisters, and relatively speaking, the two sisters have very different personalities.
Of course, as the emperor's daughter, she would likely have many brothers and sisters. We can only say that she and her brother were born of the same father and mother. As for half-siblings, they never appeared in the original book.
Yao Ye is mature, strong-willed, a powerful woman who is no less capable than any man, and aloof.
Her younger sister, Yao Yue, is mischievous yet adorable, with a cheerful personality.
One is cold, the other is warm; aside from their almost identical appearances, they are two completely different people.
"Since you're so honest, I'll go with you then."
"The sooner the better, let's go right away!" Jia Xingtian pressed his advantage, afraid that things might change and he might back out if he delayed.
After all, we've been waiting here for so long to finally see him return. If we let him leave again, we might never see him again in our entire lives.
Qian Ye simply smiled and said, "Let me give you a heads-up first. You wait here."
"Alright." Jia Xingtian smiled and finally agreed, saving himself the trouble of using force.
Qian Ye greeted Queen Medusa and then approached Jia Xingtian: "Shall we go?"
"Okay!" Jia Xingtian hadn't expected him to be so enthusiastic, but after thinking about it, he realized it was normal.
A man like him, how could he not be eager and happy to be chosen by a princess?
She simply smiled, her anger dissipating, but she did show a hint of disdain for him before following him. ♟👌 👺👤
Several days later.
The capital city.
The capital city of the Jia Ma Empire, the birthplace of the royal family.
An old man and a young boy stood at the main gate of the palace.
The older one is naturally Jia Xingtian, and the younger one is naturally Qian Ye.
It was Jia Xingtian who brought them here to meet Princess Yao Ye.
Upon seeing Jia Xingtian, the guards immediately stepped forward to greet him and opened the gate to let him in. After all, in the Jia Ma Empire, he was Thousand-Year only to the emperor, a symbol of the royal family's power, and Nine-Star Dou Huang expert. Who wouldn't give him face?
Although Qian Ye was a stranger, the guards didn't dare to approach him or ask him any questions because he was with Jia Xingtian.
Then, Jia Xingtian led him into the palace, and then into a large hall that was not only magnificent but also opulent.
Qian Ye wasn't surprised; after all, this was the imperial palace of an empire, how bad could it be?
"Mr. Qian Ye, please sit here and wait. I'll go and inform the princess right away." Before Qian Ye could answer, Jia Xingtian turned and left.
Qian Ye just smiled, knowing he was being looked down upon. He shook his head and sat for a while before hearing footsteps coming from the doorway.
Then he saw a woman walk in. She was a young girl in palace attire, with a slender and graceful figure, fair skin, and delicate features. He thought to himself, "This is the imperial palace after all; even the palace maids are stunning beauties."
That's normal. Those who can serve in the palace are all handpicked, selected through layers of screening. -(••÷[ ]÷••)-
Whether it's physique, appearance, or character, all of these will be tested.
Just like the flight attendants in my previous life, the beauty pageant was like this: ten thousand people would start from the preliminary rounds and then go to the finals, and only about ten would remain.
"My lord, please enjoy your tea." The palace maid's service was excellent; she placed the tea on the table in front of him and said very gently.
"Hmm." Qian Ye responded, glanced at the palace maid, and smiled, "Beautiful lady, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Ah~" The palace maid was startled at first, then blushed and lowered her head.
Clearly, her girlish demeanor suggests she doesn't have a boyfriend.
It's probably still very early stages, not even close to completion...
The palace maid glanced at Qian Ye again, and seeing that he was drinking tea and not looking at her, she felt relieved and looked at him closely. She hadn't looked at him before, but now that she did, her heart started racing.
It wasn't that Qian Ye was too ugly and scared her, but rather that he was too handsome. Moreover, it was the first time she had ever seen someone so handsome, and her heart was immediately captured by him. It was normal for her heart to be pounding so hard.
"No... I don't have a boyfriend!" she said, then quickly left, not daring to stay in his presence any longer.
Qian Ye smiled slightly, watching her departing figure, picked up his teacup, blew on it, and took a small sip. "Hmm, this tea tastes really good."
"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in at the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Palace! Reward: Heavenly Flames Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame!"
A loli voiceover in the Check-in System.
[Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame: Ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flames Ranking, the inherited flame of the Gu Clan]
"Ding! Master, the Heavenly Flames Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame can be absorbed. Do you wish to absorb it?"
Qian Ye: "Absorb."
"Ding! You are absorbing the Heavenly Flames Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame..."
"Ding! You have absorbed the Heavenly Flames Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, and you can use it now!"
Qian Ye glanced into his Dantian and, sure enough, found another Heavenly Flames inside. He smiled happily.
Qian Ye had only drunk half a cup of tea when she put it down and glanced towards the door. She saw no sign of Yao Ye, not even a footstep. She wondered when she would arrive.
It's not that I'm in a hurry, I just don't want to wait for others.
After all, nothing is more tedious and boring than waiting for someone.
Qian Ye stood up and walked Council Hall, looking around before finally fixing his gaze on the large chair at the very top.
This chair is quite large, adorned with jewels, and is entirely made of gold, inlaid with gemstones of various colors. It looks magnificent and imposing.
Qian Ye looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, then he walked up the steps, touched the back of the chair and sat down, looking down. Sure enough, this was the condescending gaze of someone in a superior position.
Ta-da-da~
Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
It must be her, right?
Qian Ye's gaze swept towards the door, and sure enough, someone was walking towards the entrance.
After a brief look, it was clear that the person was a woman, quite mature, wearing silver armor, and about 1.9 meters tall.
Although extremely beautiful, she possessed a cold and aloof beauty, exuding the dignified and imposing aura cultivated by royalty, commanding respect without raising her voice.
Needless to say, this woman is none other than Princess Yao Ye of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family. She is indeed a stunningly beautiful woman with a captivating figure, which matches the proportions of the characters in the original work and the anime.
Yao Ye stepped into the Council Hall, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She first glanced around the entire hall, but saw no one else. She only noticed a teacup on a table, with only half a cup of tea left, but she couldn't see anyone sitting there.
Finally, she looked up and saw a person sitting there wearing a Dragon King Mask.
Is he the one who can command the wind and rain?
As Yao Ye pondered this, she noticed that he was sitting in an inappropriate spot, and her expression immediately turned sour. After all, this was a matter of host and guest, and his behavior was tantamount to turning the tables, so naturally she wouldn't give him a pleasant look.
So they went over there.
After climbing the stairs, I stood in front of Qian Ye and looked at him, asking, "This is my seat. Where is yours?"
She pointed
"It's nothing, I'm just trying it out," Qian Ye said shamelessly. Then he got up, returned to his original seat, picked up his teacup, and took another sip of tea.
Yao Ye looked at this person, she grew angrier and angrier. She thought to herself, "I am, after all, the eldest princess of the Jia Ma Empire and the future successor to the emperor. It's clear that he doesn't respect me at all."
So he's on the same side as the snake-man, deliberately trying to disgust me like this?
And what does it mean that she came to see me wearing a mask?
