A deathly silence hung over Biyou Palace.
The hearty smile on Sect Master Tongtian's face froze completely.
Even Nuwa's peerlessly beautiful face stiffened slightly.
Houtu stood holding the Chaos Bead, unable to advance or retreat, utterly rooted to the spot.
The three Hunyuan Sages looked at one another, finding themselves speechless for a moment.
The atmosphere in the great hall grew unbearably awkward.

And yet.
Gu Changqing remained as listless and lazy
