The Origin of the Empress

"Xiaoyun, is there anything else you want now?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked, holding Qin Yun's hand.

"No more. Yun'er can't eat anymore."

Qin Yun patted her little belly as she replied, "Auntie, you should eat too. These aren't as tasty as Dad's cooking, but they're still okay."

"You eat it yourself, Yun'er. Auntie isn't hungry." Zhu Zhuqing smiled and shook her head.

"But Yun'er wants Auntie to eat."

Qin Yun looked at Zhu Zhuqing earnestly. Faced with those watery eyes, Zhu Zhuqing laughed and had no choice but to eat the food Qin Yun fed her.

"Mmm, it tastes pretty good."

"Hehe!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing eat it, Qin Yun was overjoyed.

"Yun'er, let's go. Where else do you want to play? Auntie will take you."

Seeing Qin Yun's innocent expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt considerably more relaxed.

"Really? I want to go outside and take a look. I'm tired of wandering around Star Luo City." Qin Yun looked at Zhu Zhuqing expectantly.

"Outside? All right, Auntie will take you." After thinking it over, Zhu Zhuqing agreed.

She was already an extremely powerful Soul Master in this world. Nothing would happen if she took Qin Yun out to play.

Besides, if they encountered danger, all she had to do was call Qin Feng's name, and he would arrive immediately.

This trick never failed!

"Thank you, Auntie. You're even better than Dad and Mom."

"So you're betraying your father and mother already? Be careful, or they might ground you later."

Zhu Zhuqing pinched Qin Yun's adorable little nose.

"They won't. Dad and Mom love me so much. They'd never ground me."

Qin Yun answered confidently.

Dad and Mom treated her so well. How could they possibly bear to ground her?

"Then let's go!"

Zhu Zhuqing merely smiled faintly. She would wait and see how Qin Yun begged Qin Feng for mercy in the future.

The scene shifted to another part of Star Luo City, where Qin Yun and Zhu Zhuqing were strolling along.

Suddenly, they witnessed someone bullying ordinary people.

A richly dressed man was punching and kicking a plainly dressed family.

Every strike targeted the ordinary people's vital points without the slightest restraint. He had even used Soul Power.

The passersby seemed to see nothing. They lowered their heads, not daring to say a word, much less help.

As for the group standing beside the man, they appeared to be his companions.

"A Soul Master?"

Zhu Zhuqing had barely considered it when Qin Yun was no longer beside her.

The next second, she heard Qin Yun's childish voice. "Stop! Stop! What are you doing? If you keep hitting them, they'll die!"

"Where did this little brat come from? Get out of my way. If you keep blocking me, I'll beat you too."

The man ignored her and continued punching and kicking those people. He even intended to call his servants over to join in.

"What are you standing around for? Attack! Let them see what happens when they don't greet me. Do they not know that my word is law in this city? Even if the emperor of the Star Luo Empire came here, I wouldn't be afraid of him."

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Wait, don't attack them."

In her panic, Qin Yun reached out and grabbed the man.

"You actually dared to grab my clothes? You're asking to die! Even if you're from another family in the city, I'd still dare to hit you.

You have no manners at all. How dare you grab me? I'll teach you a lesson for your parents."

Furious, the man reached toward Qin Yun with his left hand and raised his right, preparing to slap her.

Slap!

A slender hand seized the man's hand.

A gentle male voice sounded beside him. "What did you just say? You said you'd teach her a lesson for her parents? Is that right?"

"Dad?"

Qin Yun looked at the man in front of her in delighted surprise and could not help crying out.

Her father had come. That was wonderful.

"Who are you? How dare you lay hands on me? Let me tell you, I'm Lei Erbi, the young master of the Lei Family of Qianxin City and the son of Qianxin City's lord.

You'd better let go of me, or I'll make you regret it."

Seeing Qin Feng appear out of nowhere, Lei Erbi immediately shouted.

He did not forget to roar at the servants behind him, "You idiots, can't you see I've been grabbed? Get over here and help! Beat these two to death!"

At those words, Qin Feng's gentle expression turned cold.

However, the servants behind Lei Erbi did not rush over. Instead, they rolled their eyes back one after another, collapsed to the ground, and lost consciousness.

Zhu Zhuqing slowly emerged from behind them.

She had originally intended to act, but once she saw Qin Feng appear, she dealt with these people instead.

Though they were Soul Masters, they were merely Soul Grandmasters in their twenties. It was effortless.

"Lei Erbi? You really are an idiot."

Qin Feng chuckled softly and applied a slight force with his hand. The sound of bones shattering came from Lei Erbi's wrist.

Lei Erbi let out a pig-slaughtering scream, then looked forward in terror. "What did you do to me? Why is all my Soul Power gone?"

"What did I do? You dared to insult my daughter and even tried to lay a hand on her. That is your crime."

Qin Feng answered coldly.

He held Lei Erbi as though he were carrying a dead dog.

"Dad, they're all dead."

Qin Yun looked at Qin Feng with tears in the corners of her eyes. The people Lei Erbi had attacked on the ground no longer had any signs of life.

As for the passersby, they had already fled without a trace when Lei Erbi became enraged.

"That is your second crime!"

"Lowly commoners die when they die. What's the big deal..."

Lei Erbi still refused to yield, but the next second, he fainted.

Qin Feng casually tossed Lei Erbi onto the ground beside those servants.

"Xiaoyun, don't cry. They aren't dead."

Qin Feng crouched down, picked Qin Yun up, and comforted her.

"Really, Dad? But I couldn't sense any life from them, and they bled so much."

Qin Yun trembled as she clung tightly to Qin Feng.

"Of course. They're only injured. Watch how Dad saves them, all right?"

Qin Feng gently stroked Qin Yun's head.

"Okay, Dad. Hurry and save them."

Qin Yun said excitedly.

"All right, Xiaoyun. Watch carefully."

Qin Feng smiled faintly and turned his hand toward the people lying dead on the ground.

A peculiar force appeared, followed by a stream of green energy entering their bodies. The next moment, the people lying on the ground woke up.

However, they immediately curled up on the ground, clutching their heads in fear.

"No, don't hit us anymore."

"We won't dare do it again. Next time, we'll definitely greet you."

"Everyone, don't be afraid. We defeated them already. You can get up now."

Qin Yun spoke to them in her childish voice.

Only then did the people lying on the ground dare to rise slowly. They then saw the girl who had just spoken.

She was the girl who had pleaded for them earlier.

At that moment, she was looking at them with a gentle smile.

In that instant, her smile was like warm sunlight shining into their hearts. She was simply like an angel.
