Chapter 48: Old Lady is Going to be a Strict Mother Today

Yuanyi World.

The Great Hall of the Supreme Meeting of the Divine Court.

A clone of the Shengling Huang sat upright on the Emperor's throne, looking at the gods below with a calm expression, his presence naturally imposing without anger.

Beside him was a jade-green divine throne, where the Shengling Nüwang sat with grace and elegance, also gazing at the gods below with a calm and natural demeanor.

Although she appeared calm and distracted, she truly exerted immense pressure on the Supreme Gods below.

In terms of true combat power, not one of the dozens of them was inferior to the Shengling Nüwang.

But in the Yuanyi World or the worlds of the All Heavens, with the partial blessing of the Will of the Gods granted by the Shengling Huang, the Shengling Nüwang could crush them all.

This meeting was very simple.

One word!

Punishment!!

And it was a punishment for everyone!

Just like that, Gu Zhangqing and the gods remained silent together for a long while, until a heroic-looking Holy Spirit Guard walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the origins of the Princess and Gabriel and the others have been restored!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhangqing slowly raised his head.

The gods below lowered their heads one after another to look at the floor in front of them, their hearts secretly trembling.

"Let them in!"

Gu Zhangqing said with a hint of pleasure amidst his calm.

Shortly after, before the people arrived, a melodious voice drifted in from outside the hall.

"Grandpa Emperor, Ling'er has come to see you!"

Then, Gu Ling'er, wearing a jade-green lace divine dress, leaped into the center of the hall from outside.

"Eh?"

Seeing the solemn and somber gods all around, as well as her mother looking at her with a stern gaze, she immediately shrank her neck in fear.

"Haha! Xiao Ling'er, come here to Grandpa~!"

Watching Ling'er's cute, neck-shrinking appearance, Gu Zhangqing burst into hearty laughter.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling'er first carefully glanced at the Shengling Nüwang, then ran with dainty steps to the other side of the Shengling Huang's clone, hugged Gu Zhangqing's right arm, and made a face at the Shengling Nüwang.

"You!"

The Shengling Nüwang was instantly furious, sitting there and secretly gritting her teeth, while thinking about how to deal with this girl after the meeting ended.

"Haha, it's fine!" Gu Zhangqing first comforted Holy Spirit Queen Xiaosheng, then turned his head and patted Xiao Ling'er's little hand.

"Xiao Ling'er, how are you feeling now?"

Gu Zhangqing asked with concern.

On his left side, the Shengling Nüwang's gaze also drifted over uncontrollably.

"Mm, Ling'er is great now! Look, Ling'er is back to the peak of the Taiyi God again~" Gu Ling'er said with a joyful smile.

"Hmph! If you run off again next time, you won't just be caught, you'll be eaten by a ferocious Demon Beast!"

The Shengling Nüwang feigned ferocity from the side to scare her.

"Blehh~ Hmph, Ling'er isn't afraid!" As she spoke, she rubbed her little head against Gu Zhangqing's shoulder and said admiringly: "Ling'er has Grandpa Emperor to protect her, and also..."

As she spoke, she scanned the hall, then said excitedly.

"And Sister Gabriel and the shiny ones to protect me!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhangqing smiled slightly, then gently tapped her forehead.

"Xiao Ling'er, if you run off privately again next time, Grandpa Emperor won't protect you anymore, and I'll let your mother protect you instead!"

"Eh? Ling'er doesn't want that, Mother is very fierce sometimes, it's not fun at all!"

Saying this, Gu Ling'er even complained to Gu Zhangqing in a wronged tone.

However, this appearance of hers instantly angered Holy Spirit Queen Xiaosheng, who could no longer care about being dignified or elegant.

To hell with the Queen's demeanor!

Today, this mother is going to be a strict mother!

She stood up and said to Gu Zhangqing.

"Father God, don't interfere today, let's see if I can't discipline her!" When she said this, Gu Zhangqing could clearly feel her anger.

At this moment, Gu Zhangqing was helpless too.

Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh,

and sometimes even he dared not provoke an angry Holy Spirit Queen Xiaosheng, for fear that she would stop paying attention to him.

There was a period of time when he had deeply experienced the taste of being without Xiaosheng's company.

After countless years, it had been difficult to finally have a blood relative take form and be born; he did not want to provoke her into giving him the cold shoulder.

Thus, he gave Gu Ling'er an expression of being unable to help.

"Ah~!"

Seeing this, Gu Ling'er knew exactly what the situation was, and she immediately let out a cry and

wanted to turn and run.

"Mother! Mother! Ling'er won't dare to do it again!"

But before she could run a few steps, she was grabbed by the back of her collar by the Shengling Nüwang, and her whole person was lifted up just like that.

"Father God, Sheng'er is leaving first!"

After saying this, she turned and disappeared with Gu Ling'er.

"Whew~!"

Seeing that they had all left, Gu Zhangqing could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was being caught between them; helping either side would not please anyone.

A moment later.

Gu Zhangqing composed his emotions, then looked at the gods below who were keeping their heads lowered and staring at the floor without moving.

Afterwards, he looked at Gabriel, who was already kneeling on the ground.

"Light God King!"

Gu Zhangqing called out calmly.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate is here!" Yewenhua stood out, his head lowered with a faint bitter smile.

Gu Zhangqing glanced at him calmly, then said to Gabriel, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Gabriel is your subordinate, so give me an explanation!"

"This..."

In truth, Yewenhua felt quite wronged himself.

He had indeed arranged for Gabriel to go to the Primordial World for a few investigative missions, but he had never told her to take the Princess to the Lower Realm!

Therefore, he did not know how to explain it.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, taking the Princess without authorization was Gabriel's own idea; it has nothing to do with the God King!"

Gabriel, kneeling on the ground, immediately said respectfully with her head lowered.

Divine Light swirled in Gu Zhangqing's eyes, reversing the time and space of the Yuanyi World and presenting it in his mind in the form of memories.

But after understanding the whole process, he pinched his nose and could not help but think to himself.

This girl, next time I will adjust the rules of the Yuanyi World, let's see how you run out then.

After finishing all this, he asked indifferently, "Since that is the case, then tell me what mission you had that required you to go to the Eastern Continent?"

At this time, Light God King Yewenhua stood out and said.

"Your Majesty, it is because this subordinate heard from Heavenly Dragon God King Zhulong that the Eastern Continent possesses many creatures with light attributes, so this subordinate ordered Gabriel to go and investigate."

Below, Heavenly Dragon Great God King Zhulong heard this and could not help but glare at Yewenhua: "You are talking nonsense!"

After cursing, he immediately stood out and bowed to Gu Zhangqing.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate has never said such a thing!"

"You did say it, thirty thousand years ago I heard you say this matter with my own ears!" Yewenhua immediately retorted.

"Hmph! I don't even know what I said thirty thousand years ago, how can that count!"

Zhulong could not help but snort coldly.

"You..."

"Enough!!"

Yewenhua still wanted to say something, but was immediately startled by Gu Zhangqing's angry shout.

Whether it was Yewenhua or Zhulong, or even the dozens of Supreme Gods below who were watching the show, they all lowered their heads and fell silent.

"Dignified Supreme Gods, acting like you are brawling in the street in public, what kind of decorum is this!"

"And! Is this what I need to know? Huh!?" Then, Gu Zhangqing continued to scold everyone angrily.

"All of you are guilty of this matter! Dozens of Divine Court Supreme Gods, and not a single one reported the matter of Xiao Ling'er going to the Lower Realm! What are you trying to do?"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhangqing suddenly looked at Star God Great God King Xingchen Laozu, who was lowering his head below, also known as the one Gu Ling'er called "Sparkly".

"And you, Xingchen!"

Hearing this, the Star God Great God King immediately stood out with his head lowered in silence.

"As Xiao Ling'er's teacher, you don't look like a teacher at all! Turning into a broken rock all day, flying east and west, is this how you educate people?"

After speaking, Gu Zhangqing looked at him with an angry face.

And although the Star God Great God King lowered his head and silently endured Gu Zhangqing's angry scolding, he could not help but slander in his heart.

"You don't even dare to educate Princess Ling'er strictly yourself, how would we subordinates dare to interfere~"

The Star God Great God King, who was slandering in his heart, did not see it.

When he thought about things related to Gu Zhangqing in his heart, Gu Zhangqing's face grew even darker.

"Get out! All of you go back and hand-copy the Divine Court regulations ten thousand times; whoever dares to use divine power to cheat, I will strike them down!" Gu Zhangqing pointed at the hall door and shouted coldly.

Once these words were spoken, everyone immediately started to leave.

However, at this moment, Gu Zhangqing said to Yewenhua and the others again.

"Yewenhua, Brahma, Cangtian, Huangtian, Qingtian, Bairi, you six stay!"

The few people below heard this, could not help but look at each other, and stopped their steps in curiosity.

Seeing that all six were a bit confused, he did not waste words and flicked his sleeves.

Everyone discovered that the surrounding scene had changed suddenly.

It transformed from the main hall into the appearance of the Primordial Starry Sky, and beneath everyone's feet was the vast Primordial Continent.

Just when everyone thought they had arrived at the Primordial World, they soon denied it.

Because they did not sense the Law Great Rice of the Primordial World here.

"Your Majesty, is this a scene of the Primordial World?"

Bairi God Envoy looked at the surrounding Primordial World, appearing very surprised.

Everyone also looked at Gu Zhangqing with confusion.

"This Primordial World scene has been shielded by me; the Heavenly Rice and Hongjun will not have any perception of this." Looking at the Primordial World scene below, Gu Zhangqing explained.

Just at this moment.

Cangtian Laozu looked at the Primordial Continent below with a thoughtful expression, and soon discovered countless small dots emitting silver light within it.

"Your Majesty, those silver specks of light are..."

The others heard this and also took a closer look.

It really is!

They saw that on the incomparably vast Primordial Continent below, countless silver specks of light were scattered here and there.

Because the Honghuang is truly too vast, if one does not look carefully, one really cannot see the extra silver specks of light below.

Although there are many of these specks of light, countless in number.

But to the massive Primordial Continent, they are merely like stars dotting the sky.
