Chapter 1112: What a Morning Glory

Nine Shores Era, Dao End Year 2999, December, past the middle.

There was only half a month left until the Nine Shores Immortal Lord stepped down and the Jiguang Immortal Lord rotated.

Similarly, that was also the day of the wedding between the Young Master of the Jiguang Xiangong and the daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord.

This wedding ceremony, if it were on an ordinary day, would not only shock the entire Fifth Star Ring but would also attract countless cultivators to come here in a posture of worship.

It could even be said that all the Immortal Lords, even if they didn't come personally, would arrange for their eldest disciples to come here to show grandeur.

But in this sensitive period, on the grounds that it was not suitable for extravagance, the Jiguang Immortal Lord declined all foreign guests, making this wedding limited to the Xiangong.

Although this was the case, the gifts and decorations that should be there were naturally present.

So the entire Xiangong was mostly decorated with lanterns and festoons, with red makeup everywhere.

Especially the Shaoji Palace, which was even more so.

These were originally things that happened in history, and rippling them didn't have much of a splash, and it would affect the aftermath, so Xu Qing didn't go to stop it, letting the palace's etiquette officials busy themselves in the Shaoji Palace.

He sat cross-legged in the main hall himself, continuing to study the time sand he had obtained.

As for external matters, they were handed over to Zhong Chi to coordinate and handle.

Time flowed slowly like this, and soon the evening glow formed by the setting sun permeated the horizon, and the glow spilled into the Shaoji Palace, with the etiquette officials finishing the decoration of the Shaoji Palace.

And Zhong Chi was looking up, carefully checking the placement and decoration of those ornaments.

Then he pointed to the embroidered ball hanging on the eaves and spoke to an etiquette official to the side with a frown.

"The color of this embroidered ball is not quite right; one look and you can see it didn't all come from the Winter Immortal Rose. Although it can't be seen on ordinary days, now that the red glow reflects it, the impurities within are revealed."

"The quantity is also not auspicious; it must be an even number. Change it immediately!"

"And that red silk for embellishment, the luster is not enough, and the immortal power of the technique flowing within is not natural."

"Change it!"

"And..."

Zhong Chi could be said to be dutiful; he felt that he must perform well. After all, the Young Master helped him, this host, say some good words to Fairy Xiaohui of the Spirit Management Palace yesterday.

According to the host's temperament, that was naturally endless gratitude for this.

In addition, Zhong Chi was also sighing in his heart; he knew the direction of history and understood that this wedding was actually... a bloody ceremony.

"This Young Master, half a month later, will die horizontally here... including everyone here, no one will be spared."

"Speaking of which, during this period of contact with this Young Master, this person, whether it is character or inner quality, is actually good. Although he is a bit lustful, in fact, according to his status, only being lustful... this is already nearly perfect."

Zhong Chi sighed; this period of time gave him a feeling that life in the Xiangong had no pressure, as long as he maintained the Young Master well.

On the contrary, he himself in reality carried too much; whether it was the family or his own fate, he had to struggle, had to reverse it.

At the same time, regarding his master's sinister intentions, as a star, he naturally saw some clues, but on the surface, he couldn't reveal them.

He could only secretly look for a way to counterattack.

So comparing the two, he had to admit that he actually liked... this identity of Zhong Chi more.

At this moment, as thoughts rose in his heart, he swept his gaze and saw that there was a flaw in a blue brick on the ground, so his brows wrinkled, and he was about to speak.

But at this moment, the red glow in the sky shone brilliantly in an instant.

There was a phoenix cry coming from the sky.

Pulling the glow, gathering from all directions in the mid-air of the Shaoji Palace, reflecting the Nine Phoenix Carriage, drifting down.

One could see the golden and brilliant carriage shining with dazzling light in the glow, as if it could illuminate every corner of the Shaoji Palace.

And the nine phoenixes pulling the carriage stirred up red fire, as if they were going to burn the evening glow, and their cries made heaven and earth change color; the momentum of the phoenix majesty was fully displayed.

As for around the carriage, there were still hundreds of guards following, each solemn, wearing pitch-black armor, holding long spears, with not-bad momentum.

They were the honor guard of the daughter of the Nine Shores, and also the guardians.

Now, as the carriage descended, all the etiquette officials in the Shaoji Palace below bowed their heads one after another.

Zhong Chi's eyes shrank, but on the surface, he was also full of respect, flying forward, and calling out loudly.

"Greetings to Fairy Linghuang."

A cold snort came from within the carriage, and soon, after the maids on both sides of the carriage lifted the cover, a beautiful and noble woman walked out from within.

The one who came was the daughter of the Nine Shores, named Linghuang!

It was just that today, she was no longer as she had appeared before at the Punishment Thunder Cliff, showing tenderness to hide her anger, but... her eyes were deep and sharp, as if she could see through the most secret thoughts in the depths of people's hearts.

Her face was calm, containing a storm.

Her attire was also not as before.

A blue and white palace dress, incomparably gorgeous, matching the anger rising under her expression, the whole person revealed a majesty that could not be violated.

It was as if her existence itself was a kind of deterrence, making people not dare to be presumptuous before her.

At this moment, she walked out of the carriage step by step, walked into the Shaoji Palace, and when she stood there, the majesty on her body was even heavier.

Because she clearly knew her value and status, and understood how to use this power to maintain her dignity and rights.

Thus, a gaze that seemed to see through all hypocrisy and lies swept over everyone here, and finally fell on Zhong Chi.

"The Hundred Flowers Palace, has it been dismantled?"

Her voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, making people produce awe involuntarily.

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing; even Zhong Chi felt the pressure coming toward him between the words of the woman before him.

"It hasn't been many days, this person has completely adapted to the identity. If it weren't for seeing the clues that day, it would be very difficult to find that she is suspected to be an outsider if I look at her again today."

Zhong Chi thought rapidly in his heart and spoke in a low voice.

"The Young Master gave instructions many days ago to have people dismantle the Hundred Flowers Palace. It is because I was busy handling the decorations for the wedding of the Young Master and you, so I ignored such a small matter of dismantling the palace..."

"I will handle it tomorrow."

Fairy Linghuang's face sank, and she spoke indifferently.

"No need for tomorrow; dismantle it today."

Saying this, she walked forward.

Zhong Chi hurriedly put on a look of trying to explain, but as soon as he stepped forward, he was immediately forced back by the honor guard beside Fairy Linghuang, so he could only send a sound transmission to the Young Master rapidly, while hurriedly chasing after, calling out loudly.

"Young Mistress, this kind of rough work, let me do it."

While speaking, amidst Fairy Linghuang's angry advance, the Hundred Flowers Palace was already visible in the distance, and the arrival of her party was like black clouds pressing down on the city, making the evening glow in the firmament dim.

Vaguely, there was also a great wind rising out of thin air, blowing into the Hundred Flowers Palace, making the flowers and plants within sway.

It was just that... the peony within was sitting in the position where the Young Master should have been, wearing thin gauze, her figure looming, and coupled with her lazy expression, she looked full of style.

She didn't care about the wind and clouds outside at all and groaned softly.

"Sisters, continue to play music, continue to sing and dance."

The hundred flowers laughed, and the immortal music rose again.

Outside the palace, Zhong Chi saw this scene, his eyes narrowed, so he retreated a few steps and stopped blocking.

As for Fairy Linghuang, there was killing intent in her eyes, and she spoke coldly.

"Erase this filthy palace from my sight!"

As soon as her words came out, the black-armored guards beside her had cold air rising, and as their momentum surged, they stepped forward one after another.

There was no need to take action; the cold air from them, following their walk, froze everything around in an instant, and after freezing, it collapsed into flying ash.

While moving forward, it collapsed.

And everyone around, whether it was the etiquette officials or Zhong Chi, or the guards of the Shaoji Palace itself... did not block.

Because... in the entire Jiguang Xiangong, the only ones qualified to dismantle the Hundred Flowers Palace were originally the Jiguang Immortal Lord; even his four disciples didn't have this qualification.

But now... there was one more person qualified.

That was the Young Mistress who was about to marry the Young Master!

Her status, in the matter of dismantling the Hundred Flowers Palace, was even more correct than the Immortal Lord, and the Immortal Lord also indeed had words about wanting to dismantle the Hundred Flowers Palace before.

So Fairy Linghuang's behavior, no one had the qualification to block.

So they let her honor guard continue to advance.

The rumbling was constant.

The Hundred Flowers Palace, from outside to inside, under the promotion of this honor guard, was broken and shattered, layer by layer into flying ash.

And Fairy Linghuang, walked behind, her expression cold.

Seeing this, Zhong Chi could only sigh in his heart, secretly saying Young Master, Young Master, I have no way to handle this matter either.

Just as Zhong Chi was sighing, the honor guard in front had already pushed to the depths of the White Palace.

Thus, that water pool, those hundred flowers, and that Fox Beauty were reflected in everyone's sight.

And also reflected in Fairy Linghuang's sight.

All that was seen was thin gauze of five colors, which could be called a pool of wine and a forest of meat, with countless waves, concave and convex, jade legs dazzling, and styles varied.

Some were touching, some enchanting and charming, some pure and lovely, some mature and stunning, some beautiful and multi-postured.

Even those of other races were there...

"Filthy sounds and words, dirtying people's eyes and hearts, posturing and posing, damaging customs, not knowing shame, extremely cheap!"

Looking at these, Fairy Linghuang bit her silver teeth and spoke word by word.

The hundred flowers heard this and glared angrily one after another.

The Fox Beauty was calm, her jade hand picked up a grape from the side, put it into her small mouth, her gaze fell on Fairy Linghuang, and she chuckled.

"Sister, you are also a beauty, but it's a pity that creation plays with people. If you weren't the daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord, I'm afraid you would have had the fate of becoming a sister with us. In the Hundred Flowers Palace, there must also be a morning glory like you, pulling the cow for the master, and working hard with us."

The Fox Beauty sighed, looking very regretful.

Fairy Linghuang heard this, and her eyes instantly became sharp; it was truly because whether it was this host or herself, from childhood to adulthood, she had never heard such sarcastic, metaphorical, and even filthy words.

The morning glory, it seemed, was not a morning glory anymore.

Thus, she stared at the Fox Beauty, her mind floating with the words the Fourth True Monarch had said to her.

Afterward, she spoke coldly.

"Such a dirty place and such dirty people, immediately get out of the Xiangong!" ===== CHAPTER 1115 =====
