Chapter 302

The reason she did not refuse to throw the embroidered ball this time was because of Xu Chen.

Otherwise, she would have already revealed her identity as the Dark Son of Heaven by now, and Di Qiankun should have been kneeling on the ground trembling. Di Hanzhi said indifferently, "Suit yourselves. In any case, I'll just throw the embroidered ball, and once it's thrown, that's that."

Di Qiankun revealed a smile and said, "It's best that you can have this kind of thought. Your big brother is very satisfied." After saying this, Di Qiankun vanished from where he stood.

Di Hanzhi stretched lazily and said with a light laugh, "How exciting, the embroidered ball will be given to Xu Chen." After saying this, she carefully dressed herself up, then headed straight for the embroidered ball high platform set up by the royal family.

This high platform was roughly seven or eight meters tall, with steps on all four sides, allowing one to ascend step by step.

On the high platform, Di Hanzhi wore a veil, standing there with calm composure.

Even so, she still drew gasps and exclamations of admiration from the crowd, with excitement flickering unceasingly in their eyes.

After all, they had all seen Di Hanzhi's beauty, and every one of them wished they could take her for themselves.

Especially Duan Quan and He Qianshu, whose eyes were filled with an intense, unmistakable look of hope.

They had also advanced to a First-Turn Martial Saint at this point, giving them a chance to seize the embroidered ball.

Di Hanzhi looked down at the area below the high platform and saw a dense, packed sea of people.

From the common folk of the marketplace to the royalty and nobility above, every sort of person was present.

The maid beside Di Hanzhi could not help but say, "They don't know that the outcome is already decided—" Di Hanzhi said faintly, "Perhaps." Beside this embroidered ball high platform stood a Wang Yue Lou.

The Wang Yue Lou was slightly taller than the embroidered ball high platform, and seated inside was the empire's emperor, Di Tianlong.

Beside Di Tianlong were maidservants, and behind him stood the civil and military officials.

After all, according to old precedent, a Palace Master throwing an embroidered ball was an extremely solemn occasion.

Regardless of rank, all officials had to attend.

The Prime Minister fawned with a smile: "This embroidered ball will surely be obtained by Crown Prince Yan Ming of the Taihua Imperial Dynasty below." Di Tianlong, clad in a yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair and laughed: "Not bad. Today, it will surely be Yan Ming who obtains the embroidered ball."

The Prime Minister said respectfully: "Yan Ming's strength is formidable. It is said he has long since reached Third Grade Martial Saint..."

"Even if some of the younger generation wanted to compete for it, they probably couldn't beat him." Di Tianlong scoffed: "Naturally. Those Martial Saint-level geniuses have all been driven away. Who else could compete with Yan Ming?"

At that thought, the corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.

If he formed a marriage alliance with the Taihua Imperial Dynasty, he would then be able to launch an attack on the Tianzun Dynasty.

Heh, he had been coveting that Empress Luo Shen for quite a long time now.

Soon, Luo Shen would become a thing entirely within his grasp.

What Di Tianlong did not know at this moment was that the powerful experts from every sect and faction had long since quietly infiltrated this Imperial Capital Tian Long Cheng.

It was just that everyone was concealing their auras, never once revealing them.

They were only waiting for that one Undying Medicine to appear, and then they would immediately unleash their full power to seize the Undying Medicine.

As for some Princess throwing an embroidered ball, no one cared.

While he was thinking, Di Hanzhi's voice came from the high platform: "Everyone, today is this Princess's great day of throwing the embroidered ball.

"This Princess asks for little, only hoping to find a satisfactory husband.

"No matter in whose hands this embroidered ball ultimately lands, that person shall be this Princess's Consort." As her words fell, cheers and shouts erupted from the crowd.

They leaped and danced with excitement, ready to begin the scramble at any moment.

Di Hanzhi continued: "Next, this Princess will throw the embroidered ball down." After saying this, she tossed the embroidered ball from her hand, hurling it toward the crowd.

At this moment, the expressions of all the powerful experts suddenly tightened.

Would that legendary Undying Medicine appear at this very moment?

At this moment, Yan Ming looked at that embroidered ball, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled upward.

The other half of the Jade Pendant was with him, and among the geniuses present, his strength was also the highest.

He did not need to move; when the time came, the embroidered ball would automatically drift toward him.

Di Hanzhi was already his woman.

But the very next second, a silvery, bell-like laugh rang out across the world: "Oh, what a beautiful embroidered ball. May I catch it?" The moment these words were spoken, the hundreds of thousands of people around were instantly shocked.

Who was this person?

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It was the Undying Medicine—she had finally shown herself.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled that this Undying Medicine seemed to also be one of the female leads.

However, in his previous life, she had not appeared this quickly.

This time, why had the Undying Medicine appeared so quickly?
