191: Chapter 191 The Imperial Concubine Arrives? The Peerless Empress Yue Qingxuan's Domineering Declaration!

Yue Qingxuan.

The moment the owner of this name appeared in front of the Flying Boat, the surrounding hundred miles fell silent.

Her gold and purple robes fluttered in the high-altitude Astral winds. Nine golden dragons carved in relief on the robes moved with her steps, and the Law's spiritual light overflowing from the dragons' eyes burned the air around her into a golden hue.

She had grown much taller than back then.

Lu Chen's gaze shifted down an inch from her Face.

Above her willow waist, the gold and purple fabric was stretched into two arcs that were exaggerated to an excessive degree. Their full contours cast shadows under the sunlight, and every step she took carried a sway significant enough to draw Lu Chen's attention.

Back then, that little girl who had blocked his path to pick a fight had been as thin as a bamboo pole, and her chest was so flat that he once thought she was a boy.

Now, though...

Lu Chen's gaze lingered on those two arcs for half a breath before shifting away.

She had developed too aggressively.

The robes were slit on both sides up to the middle of her thighs. Yue Qingxuan hovered in the Void Realm, her long hair drifting behind her.

Every time the Astral wind blew, the hem of her skirt parted at the slits, revealing a section of her long, fair thighs. From the knees up, her skin was firm and smooth, with lines so fluid they were impossible to look away from.

A cultivation at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Rank Peak and a physique of the Heavenly Overlord Body at Major Achievement had polished this body to a degree that would make even the Creator marvel.

She just stood there in the Void Realm, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, an overbearing aura that looked down upon the world oozing from her very bones.

Millions of people in the capital looked up at this scene, with only one thought in their hearts—this was the Peerless Empress, the absolute Dominator of the Northern Border of the Central Continent.

Then, Yue Qingxuan's gaze fell upon Lu Chen's Face.

It was replaced by something she herself could not control.

Her slightly angry red lips parted slightly, the tight line of her jaw softened, the golden light of the Law in her phoenix eyes dimmed by three degrees, and a very, very faint layer of moisture welled up in the depths of her pupils.

Her small Face turned red.

Starting from her earlobes, it spread up along her neck, burned across her fair cheeks, and turned red all the way to the tip of her nose.

A Quasi-Emperor Ninth Rank Peak, a Heavenly Overlord Body at Major Achievement, the Peerless Empress who awed the Northern Border of the Central Continent—at this moment, she was trying her best to maintain a steady facial expression.

"You liar."

Lu Chen's hand, which was holding the wine gourd, paused for a moment.

"Finally willing to come and see me?"

Yue Qingxuan's voice rose by half a pitch, carrying a hint of gritted teeth.

"How many years has it been since you became an Emperor? Have you come to see me even once? After not seeing each other for so many years, your first words are to slander me by saying I have a daughter!"

Her fingers clenched into a fist, and she waved it in the air.

"The one in your arms is my sister! My biological sister! Yue Shiyun!"

Lu Chen lowered his head to look at the little loli in his arms, then looked up at Yue Qingxuan, comparing them back and forth three times.

They indeed didn't look much like mother and daughter; rather, there was some sisterly resemblance in their features.

Just as he was about to speak, Yue Qingxuan's phoenix eyes were already fixed on little Shiyun in his arms.

To be precise, she was staring at little Shiyun's posture.

Two small arms were wrapped around Lu Chen's neck, her small Face was buried in his chest, her silver hair covered half of his body, and her whole person was clinging to him, perfectly snug.

Yue Qingxuan's phoenix eyes narrowed into slits.

"Put her down."

Her voice grew three degrees colder.

"I haven't even lain in your arms; what right does she have to lie there?"

She paused for half a beat and added a sentence.

"Even being a patient isn't an excuse."

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth twitched twice. What kind of ridiculous jealousy was this? Competing with her own biological sister for a hug?

The two Imperial Guard Commanders finally snapped out of their shock.

"Your Majesty! This person trespassed into the no-fly zone, which is why I took action. We really didn't know!"

Yue Qingxuan turned her head.

The moment those phoenix eyes swept over, the two Saint commanders simultaneously felt as if an invisible blade was pressed against their necks.

"Open your dog eyes and look."

Yue Qingxuan's voice wasn't loud, but every word slammed into the hearts of the two commanders.

"He is a Great Emperor."

"The only Great Emperor in this world."

As these two sentences came out of Yue Qingxuan's mouth, millions of people inside and outside the capital city collectively gasped.

Great Emperor.

The weight of these two words in the Human Realm was heavier than ten thousand mountains.

The scarred commander's body instantly went limp, unable even to kneel steadily. The long halberd in his hand fell into the Void Realm, spinning as it plummeted toward the ground.

The young commander was even worse off; he sprawled directly in the Void Realm, his Face pressed against the air, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

He had actually just told a Great Emperor "three breaths of time."

He had actually raised a long halberd against the only Great Emperor in the world.

"Do you think our Imperial Dynasty is not collapsing fast enough?"

Yue Qingxuan's voice grew another three degrees colder.

The Faces of the two commanders were no longer just pale; they were green.

Yue Qingxuan retracted her gaze, and her phoenix eyes fell on Lu Chen again. That layer of coldness receded, replaced by a proclamation of dominance that reached her very bones.

Her red lips curled up, and her voice clearly spread across a hundred-mile radius.

"The capital is a restricted area; others are forbidden from flying, but he is not."

She paused for a beat.

"Because he is also my Imperial Consort."

"Im-Imperial Consort!"

"The Empress's Imperial Consort!"

"The Great Emperor of this era is the Empress's man!"

The Immortal brew in Lu Chen's mouth almost sprayed out.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he forcefully swallowed the mouthful of wine, coughing twice from the shock.

Imperial Consort?

A dignified Great Emperor Peak, the only supreme Great Emperor walking the Human Realm in this era, was being dubbed an "Imperial Consort" by a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Rank little girl in front of all the citizens of the city?

This was even more ridiculous than ascending to go mining.

The two Imperial Guard Commanders had already scrambled away.

After leaving, the scarred commander finally dared to take a deep breath, his heart screaming wildly that the Empress actually had a man! And it was a Great Emperor! He had almost laid a hand on the Empress's man just now!

Lu Chen wiped the wine stain from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and looked speechlessly at Yue Qingxuan, who was ten feet away.

Her gold and purple robes fluttered in the wind, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her exquisite Face wore a look that was thirty percent smug and seventy percent overbearing.

It was the exact same smugness as that little girl who had chased him for three thousand miles back then.

"Little Xuanxuan."

Lu Chen spoke, his tone lazy to the extreme.

"Have you let being the Empress go to your head?"

He lifted the wine gourd and took another swig, wiping the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

"I'm here to deliver an invitation, not to sell myself. Don't go throwing around labels and ruining my reputation."

He looked down at little Shiyun in his arms. The little girl was now completely awake, her red eyes blinking as she looked at Yue Qingxuan, and a sentence popped out of her small mouth:

"Big sister is so scary."

Lu Chen stroked her silver hair and looked up at Yue Qingxuan, saying:

"Also, I'm taking your sister. She'll be my disciple from now on."

Yue Qingxuan's phoenix eyes flickered.

She didn't get angry, nor did she argue.

The hem of her gold and purple robes drifted in the wind as she took a step toward the Flying Boat, then another, until she reached the edge of the boat.

The distance closed.

The overbearing aura unique to the Heavenly Overlord Body blew toward him, mixed with a faint scent of Ambergris, entering Lu Chen's nose.

Her phoenix eyes looked straight at him, his Face reflected in her pupils.

"No rush, no rush."

Her voice softened, so quiet that only the two of them could hear, with a trace of coyness in the end that she herself didn't even realize.

"Whatever the invitation is, since you delivered it personally, I'll give you Face and accept it all. I'll follow your arrangements."

She reached out her right hand, her slender fingers resting on the edge of the Flying Boat, her fingertips lightly tapping the wood grain twice.

"Since you want my sister..."

The light in her phoenix eyes was searingly bright, and her red lips slowly drew two inches closer.

"...then you might as well take me too."

Her left hand had already gripped Lu Chen's wrist, her five fingers tightening, her palm burning hot.

"Quickly follow me back to the palace to catch up properly."

She emphasized the words "catch up," and the smile in her phoenix eyes could not be hidden.

Lu Chen looked at the hand gripping his wrist, then at Yue Qingxuan's Face drawn close.

The distance was too close, close enough for him to see the tiny Tear mole on her eyelash.

It wasn't there back then.

Little Shiyun in his arms looked up, her red eyes darting between Lu Chen and Yue Qingxuan.

Then she hugged Lu Chen's neck tightly and buried her Face deeper into his chest.

"Revered Master Brother is mine."

Yue Qingxuan's phoenix eyes narrowed as she looked down at her own biological sister.
