32: Chapter 32 Beauty is truly fleeting.

Emperor Ye Shimin's dying body had returned to a normal state thanks to the longevity pill provided by Ye Xuan. He no longer needed to be bedridden, and his lifespan had recovered significantly; there would be no problems for at least the next ten years.

"Father, I promise you, okay? Let's just do as Brother Ye Xuan said. You can still handle state affairs even after becoming the Retired Emperor." Ye Qingyan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, now agreed with the method Ye Xuan proposed.

The officials and ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty were complicated. One wrong move could easily lead to big trouble, so she needed someone to support her before she could feel at ease taking over the Great Qin throne.

"Sigh, fine, fine, you child." Seeing his daughter relent, Emperor Ye Shimin stopped refusing and effectively agreed to the matter.

"Father, you're the best!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyan happily hugged Emperor Ye Shimin, which finally made her father's expression look a little better.

What father could show a good face to the person who snatched away his little cotton-padded jacket?

Three days later, the Great Qin Empress ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated.

During these few days, Ye Xuan had consumed quite a few pills to try and improve his cultivation, but the effect was minimal. Perhaps it was because he had reached a bottleneck; his cultivation had now reached the perfection of the True Profound Realm, and he just needed an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Profound Realm.

However, compared to his past constitution, where consuming any amount of pills made progress impossible, Ye Xuan was already very satisfied.

On the other side, Ye Qingyan, because her cultivation speed with the Zhenxuan Pill was too slow, took the risk of consuming a Lingxuan Pill, and as a result, she awakened the Taiyin Divine Body all at once.

Ye Xuan was not very surprised by this; after all, this Taiyin Divine Body should have awakened a few days ago at Hangu Pass, so it was actually a few days late.

Then there was his sister at home, Ye Qingxian, who pervertedly swallowed a Lingxuan Pill, took a nap, and after waking up, her cultivation had skyrocketed from the eighth level of the True Profound Realm directly to the first level of the Spirit Profound Realm.

"Before I leave, I must completely resolve the threat of Great Chu, otherwise, my home might be stolen the next time I return."

Inside the Great Qin Imperial Palace, Ye Xuan looked calm as he scanned his surrounding relatives and spoke.

Besides, in seven days, he would be entering the inner sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land, so this trouble had to be completely resolved before he left.

"Brother Xuan, I heard that the person standing behind Great Chu is Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. You must be careful!"

Seeing that Ye Xuan had made up his mind, Ye Qingyan could only earnestly advise him.

The Heavenly Demon Sect was considered the most powerful sect within Great Chu. Every Sect Master's strength was at the ninth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, and as for this current Sect Master, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, no one knew how strong he was—he might be an expert in the Earth Profound Realm!

"Earth Profound Realm?" Ye Xuan frowned. If it were an ordinary Earth Profound Realm cultivator, he would definitely not be a match for him while holding the zhu xian sword, but if it were a high-level Earth Profound Realm expert, it would be a bit troublesome.

"Son, do you want me to accompany you on this trip?" Ye Qingshan, who had been silent for a long time, asked.

The middle-aged man was not good with words, but the fortitude on his face could never be ignored.

"No need, Father. I have my own methods for self-preservation, no need to worry about me."

Ye Xuan shook his head. His confidence came from the Evil God Art and the zhu xian sword in his hand, plus he was about to break through to the Spirit Profound Realm, so he could fight against ordinary Earth Profound Realm cultivators.

"You child, don't you know that there is strength in numbers?" Ye Qingshan frowned and scolded with a smile: "What, do you look down on your old man now?"

"That's right, Brother Xuan, why don't you let us go to Great Chu together? I just happen to want to compete with that young Great Chu Emperor and properly settle the matter of the marriage proposal!"

Ye Qingyan hugged Ye Xuan's arm, her eyes showing no dignity of an Empress, but rather a deep sense of indignation.

The marriage proposal had always been a thorn in her heart.

"Silly girl, you've really grown up."

Emperor Ye Shimin shook his head and turned his face away, no longer looking in that direction.

"Father, what are you saying? How would your son dare to look down on you?" Ye Xuan smiled confidently: "To solve this matter, why resort to such a big mobilization? I alone am enough!"

He immediately looked at Ye Qingyan beside him, touched her soft, pretty face, and then grabbed her cheeks with his hands, pulling gently: "Silly girl, be obedient, be good!"

"Hmph! You only know how to bully people. I am the Great Qin Empress now!"

...

The sun set and the moon rose. The moonlight at night cast a layer of silvery-white radiance, making the earth look even more dazzling and spectacular.

Ye Xuan was rushing toward the Great Chu Dynasty, occasionally using his Mystic Power to impact the final barrier in his body to enter the Spirit Profound Realm. After all, having more power meant a higher chance of success.

As long as he dealt with the little Emperor of Great Chu and the Prime Minister named Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, everything would be easy to handle.

Ye Xuan was currently sitting on the back of the crane, Xiao Jiu, closing his eyes to rest.

Once one's cultivation reached the Heaven Profound Realm, one could roam the skies. Ye Xuan was still quite far from that, but he believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to reach it.

Roaming the skies freely was the dream of every young man in later generations, and Ye Xuan was not an exception.

The Great Chu Dynasty was not too far from Great Qin. According to Xiao Jiu's current speed, they would arrive in one hour if they flew at full speed.

"Finally here. Is this the Great Chu Dynasty?"

Crossing thousands of high mountains, Ye Xuan arrived at the capital of Great Chu, Ying City.

Everywhere he looked, the lights were dim, and the streets in the city were crowded with people, but Ye Xuan's destination was not here; it was the imperial palace.

"Go, Xiao Jiu." He patted Xiao Jiu's head.

"Coo coo coo—"

Xiao Jiu rubbed against Ye Xuan, then flew toward the mountain forest.

The Great Chu Imperial Palace was much more luxurious than that of Great Qin. Almost all the great halls were built with the best material of the mortal world, purple cedar wood. The entire body was purplish-red. At night, under the illumination of the moonlight, it formed a stunningly beautiful scene.

"Alright, next, it's time for me to act." Ye Xuan looked at the imperial palace before him and disappeared from the spot the next second. He flew over the halls, searching for the little Emperor of Great Chu, when suddenly his foot slipped, and he fell from the roof into the palace with a thud.

"This?!"

As soon as Ye Xuan lifted his head, he saw a snow-white figure bathing in the pool. His old face turned red, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Um, this young lady, if I say I didn't mean it, can you believe me?"

That touch of snow-white beauty, Ye Xuan was afraid he would find it hard to forget, because it was simply too stunning.

But the next second, a message appeared.

Name: Empress Mi Qianxi

Age: 18

Realm: Late stage of the 5th level of the Spirit Profound Realm

Constitution: Ice Spirit Body (Purple)

Luck: Empress of Great Chu (Blue), Tragic Fate for a Beauty (Black), Sleeping on Brushwood and Tasting Gall (Purple), Saintly Disposition (Purple)

Life Fate: Sign of Premature Death (Black)

Destiny: 《Evil God》 (Passerby A), 《Demon Empress》 (Supporting Character), Great Qin Empress》 (Passerby A)

Favorability: 90

Life Destiny: At birth, her mother passed away. From the age of five, she liked the Great Qin child prodigy, Ye Xuan.

At the age of nine, she personally saw her father, the Emperor, killed by the Prime Minister, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, under the bed in her father's sleeping quarters. She accidentally obtained the Mi family's inheritance, the "Qi Luck Sealing Saint Art," and had no choice but to take her father's killer, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, as her master.

At ten, she went to the Heavenly Demon Sect to cultivate.

At eleven, her cultivation broke through to the third level of the True Profound Realm.

At thirteen, she returned to Great Chu to inherit the throne, disguised herself as a man to be the Great Chu Emperor, and stopped practicing the "Heavenly Demon Yin Art," switching to the "Qi Luck Sealing Saint Art," breaking through several realms in succession to reach the eighth level of the True Profound Realm.

At fourteen, Great Chu launched reforms, and the national strength began to grow day by day.

At sixteen, her cultivation broke through to the first level of the Spirit Profound Realm. Empress Mi Qianxi's desire for revenge grew stronger and stronger. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the old monster, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, she had to deliberately hide her true cultivation to catch him off guard.

At eighteen, a few days ago, she launched a war against the six great dynasties, annexing five of them in one fell swoop. Since then, the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty had greatly increased, and her cultivation had risen to the late stage of the 5th level of the Spirit Profound Realm.

Two hours later, the impatient Great Chu Prime Minister, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, will arrive and subdue her with thunderous means. Unable to bear the humiliation, she will commit suicide by self-detonation.

Lifespan ends at eighteen (Tragic and lamentable, a tragic fate for a beauty.)
