87: Chapter 87 Purge the Emperor's Corrupt Officials? Execute the Empress?

"Playing chess, practicing calligraphy, reciting poetry, listening to music, and showing off your culinary skills have gradually become part of your daily routine with Empress Yan Yufei."

"Ever since she started overflowing with love for you, it seems... she has completely changed. Although her tone of voice remains as haughty and tsundere as ever, she seems to really enjoy confiding in you."

"For instance, as the territory of the Great Yan Empire has grown too vast, the small principalities and tribes conquered in the past frequently revolt, requiring generals to be dispatched to suppress them from time to time."

"For example, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, some warriors have actually fought amongst themselves over it, even causing injuries."

"Or, for instance, in order to fight for the right to Cultivate at the core of the Phoenix Vein, many female warriors have constantly fought each other, even killing people..."

"You always listen silently without giving her any advice, because you know that as the most powerful Great Yan Empress, she has the means and wisdom to handle these matters; she just needs a sounding board to vent her frustrations."

"She hardly ever mentions her past; it seems this part of her life is an untouchable taboo for her."

"But regardless, everything is moving in a positive direction."

"You have gradually forgotten the old subordinates of the Shanhai Principality, and even forgotten Yun Zhu, who was your wife for five years..."

"Because you rejoice in seeing Empress Yan Yufei become happy."

"You often think to yourself, if you could make your own sister return to that cheerful and innocent girl, you would be reluctant to end this simulation..."

"As for Empress Yan Yufei's demands on your body, from your initial extreme resistance, to later half-refusing and half-welcoming, to now, you have completely come to terms with it—to hell with human ethics!"

"Empress Yan Yufei's cries of extreme excitement and her overflowing love for you make you break through all the shackles of morality and ethics, break through all psychological constraints, and enjoy the most beautiful and stimulating rhythm of this human world with her!"

"Yingzi, in order to make you happy, I don't care even if I have to bear the infamy of the ages."

"You often think this way."

...

Fengqi Pavilion.

Center location.

A beautiful woman in white with flowing long hair and a cinnabar mark on her forehead sits quietly on the Phoenix Vein, observing her nose, her nose observing her heart, eyes closed, her hands continuously forming finger seals...

She is none other than General Hong Ying, the top female general under the Great Yan Empress.

At this moment, clusters of True Qi are constantly gathering toward her, converging, and being absorbed into her body, entering her Dantian and Qi Sea to be refined...

Looking down from the sky, the Phoenix Vein beneath her is like a rushing river of magma, with intertwined crimson-gold light flowing like boiling flames.

However, this seemingly magma-like crimson-gold river actually contains a large amount of True Qi, which is the key to nourishing and nurturing the many female warriors of Fengqi Pavilion.

It can be said that Fengqi Pavilion's current standing, and the Great Yan Empire's current standing, rely on this Phoenix Vein.

Not long ago, this Phoenix Vein was briefly occupied by the Blood Fiend Duo from the Great Qi, but as soon as she returned, those Blood Fiend Duo had long since run away!

However, even if those two idiots had occupied it, it would have been of no use.

Because the Phoenix Vein only helps women Cultivate.

At this moment.

Scorching light wraps around General Hong Ying. You can see her brows tightly furrowed, sweat dripping from her forehead, and the finger seals in her hands flying faster and faster...

Suddenly.

With a loud shout, the True Qi within her body resonates with the Phoenix Vein like a surging ocean wave...

In an instant!

A brilliant light erupts around her, and a massive golden light shoots into the sky!

Meanwhile, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles in the sky; dark clouds churn with a rumble, as if thousands of heavenly thunders are about to strike...

General Hong Ying stands up, looks at the sky, and smiles slightly: "So, my Emperor Lightning Tribulation has finally arrived..."

Before the thousands of lightning bolts could strike, she stomps her foot and shoots into the sky. True Qi forms wings around her, and like an angel, she wields twin swords and flies up to the sky to face her own unique Emperor Lightning Tribulation!!

Boom—!!

Rumble—!!!

One after another, golden lightning bolts strike towards where General Hong Ying is!!

You see the True Qi light around her flare up. She grits her teeth, and her twin swords unleash wave after wave of True Qi Sword Intent, intertwining and fighting with those golden lightning bolts...

...

One hour later.

A peerless expert with three thousand strands of hair flowing, radiating golden light, and her white clothes burned by lightning and fire until only thin strips remained to cover her modesty, emerged!

General Hong Ying waves her hand and puts on a gorgeous battle suit presented by a female attendant.

With a golden cloud-patterned top, a red skirt flowing like flames, and golden boots, she appears as a noble and dashing female sword immortal.

Looking at the sky and stepping on the Phoenix Vein, a smile appears on her face: "Emperor Realm... I have finally made a Breakthrough!"

"Congratulations to the General for breaking through to the Emperor Realm!!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor for defeating the Heavenly Tribulation!!"

"The Emperor is invincible and peerless in the world!!"

A large group of Fengqi Pavilion female warriors kneel down to congratulate her.

General Hong Ying holds her twin swords, floats easily into the air, looks at the countless female warriors kneeling around the Phoenix Vein below, and a faint smile tugs at the corner of her lips:

"Rise, all of you!"

"Now that I have become an Emperor, I must set a rule for you all. From now on... you no longer need to fight for the right to use this Phoenix Vein; you must take turns using it according to your talent Rank. Also... within my Fengqi Pavilion, from this day forward, private fighting is strictly prohibited!!"

Her voice, like a booming bell, resounds in every corner of Fengqi Pavilion.

"Thank you, Emperor!!"

The hundreds of thousands of female warriors in the entire Fengqi Pavilion all kneel and kowtow in unison.

Every female warrior is incredibly excited; they finally don't have to rely on killing to fight for resources. This is just great!!!

General Hong Ying lands slowly like a goddess, her eyes looking toward the direction of the Shanhai Principality, and she mutters in her heart: "Brother... I did it, I have become an Emperor. Will you be happy for me..."

Brother, if you could see me become an Emperor with your own eyes, how wonderful that would be...

Brother, it has been fifteen years, I miss you so much...

So much, I miss you so much...

Brother, where are you now?

...

"Achoo!"

Su Fan sneezes.

Empress Yan Yufei lifts her face from him, her phoenix eyes filled with concern, and she looks at him: "You are a mortal of flesh and blood, pay more attention to your health and don't catch a cold."

Su Fan, however, seems not to be focused on this, but suddenly asks her: "Yufei, what if one day I leave you, and in the future, you achieve Immortal Ascension, or even eternal life... will you still remember me?"

Empress Yan Yufei shakes her head, her red lips parting slightly: "This Empress won't think about that. This Empress only wants to cherish you now. As for future matters, this Empress is too lazy to think about them!"

She stretches, her posture lazy. She looks indifferent, but between her brows, a faint sorrow is revealed...

...

Fengqi Pavilion.

"Emperor, Your Majesty is fooling around with her male favorite every day and ignoring state affairs. Why don't we just get rid of her!"

"That's right, a beautiful woman ruins the country. Your Majesty has become a muddled ruler; she deserves to be executed by everyone!"

"Sisters, you seem a bit radical. Wouldn't it be better to purge the court first?"

"Purge the court my foot, just get rid of that lustful, muddled ruler along with him!"

A group of female generals surround General Hong Ying, offering suggestions in a jumble of voices.
