Heaven Dou City, Princess Wei Na's residence.
The grand hall was resplendent in gold and jade, its crimson-gold walls carved with ancient, exquisite murals. As the Heavenly Soul Emperor's most beloved daughter, her residence ranked among the most luxurious of all royal heirs.
It was late at night. Wei Na sat alone in the seat of honor, with no servants attending her. Her golden gown was thin and translucent, while soft, warm light streamed down from the crystal soul-tool chandelier, falling upon her bare, snow-white shoulders. Her skin reflected a lustrous, delicate sheen.

The space around them suddenly rippled faintly. Golden light flickered as a figure slowly stepped out. Wei Na raised her head. The visitor wore an elegant white robe, his handsome features resembling those of an immortal banished from heaven. Every movement he made seemed to contain the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.
Wei Na looked at the uninvited guest, a trace of hatred flickering imperceptibly through her eyes. She pressed her full red lips tightly together and said:
"This guilty woman pays respects to Saintly Evil Douluo..."
"Princess Wei Na, there's no need for such hypocrisy between us. Just say what you want to say."
Ling Bai shook his head with a chuckle. Wei Na was only twenty, and her clumsy acting was nowhere near Du Gu Lin's level as a seasoned performer. Though it was amusing to watch a princess of an empire suppress her hatred and humble herself, seeing it once was enough.
At his words, a crack seemed to appear in Wei Na's tense expression. The two of them shared a deep blood feud. Long Aotian's death, the destruction of the Body Sect, and the eruption of public outrage throughout the Heaven Dou Empire—every matter was connected to Ling Bai.
