190: Underworld Empress Pillow

The turmoil of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons gradually subsided, leaving the entire Country R in a state of chaos.

The Prime Minister of Country R acted decisively, quickly dispatching a large number of police officers to the scene to fully rescue the citizens injured in this disaster... Upon hearing this news, the Xia Kingdom and other Western countries entered a state of emergency as if facing a formidable enemy.

Governments of various countries called Country R one after another, strongly demanding that their uninjured citizens be safely brought back to their home countries first.

For a time, international diplomatic hotlines were incredibly busy, with all parties anxiously waiting for news of their citizens' safe return.

Meanwhile, within the special departments of various countries, intense and serious meetings were being held in rapid succession.

Facing this sudden ghost calamity in Country R, there was a consensus that investment in Transcendents must be increased.

Because no one could predict whether similar or even more serious events would occur next; if they did not possess sufficiently powerful Transcendent forces as a safeguard, humanity might face total annihilation.

The heads of state were even more worried, fearing that the Spiritual Energy Revival phenomenon was merely a prelude, and the truly terrifying thing was the impending Age of Gods.

After all, two deities had actually descended upon the world this time, which undoubtedly brought immense shock and panic to the entire globe.

If the gods truly appeared on a large scale, what kind of scene would the world become? No one could imagine... You Xiang looked at Xiao Lan beside her with a look of reproach and said, "Lan~ Lan! You're too bold, aren't you? How dare you still livestream at a time like this? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by Her Majesty?"

Xiao Lan, however, held up her livestreaming equipment nonchalantly and replied with a giggle, "I think Her Majesty the Empress won't be so petty. Besides, when I was livestreaming Her Majesty just now, you didn't say anything to stop me."

Mu Xi quickly chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. Maybe Her Majesty the Empress doesn't mind us livestreaming her at all." As she spoke, she covered her chest, where her heart was racing with excitement.

“Right, right.” Xiao Lan nodded repeatedly at Mu Xi with a face full of excitement, while also playfully giving a big thumbs up.

Subsequently, a shocking video regarding the descent of the two deities quickly spread across the entire internet.

This news was like a heavy bomb, instantly causing a massive uproar on major social media platforms.

【Wow, is that the god our Xia Kingdom possesses? She's simply as beautiful as a celestial maiden! I suddenly realized that since the Spiritual Energy Revival, my standards for a goddess have completely changed!】

【Isn't that the truth? I was thinking the same thing! Her Majesty the Empress is truly too enchanting!】

【Empress-oneesan, I'm so in love... AHHH!!!】

【Oh my goodness! You guys better not talk nonsense; blaspheming a god will get you struck by lightning.】

【Sisters, please quickly rein in your restless hearts. Also, pull your pants back on!】

【Hahaha, the people above. You guys are really brave! This is a top-level deity of the Netherworld. Aren't you afraid of being sent to the eighteenth level of Hell to suffer after you die???】

【What's going on? Why can you all see the Empress's face so clearly? Why can't I see anything!】

【Hey, brother, it seems only Transcendents or cultivators can see her clearly.】

【Ah! So that's how it is. Then who among you is a Transcendent or a cultivator?】

【Not me.】

【Not me either.】

【Then since none of you are, how did you Judge that Her Majesty is so beautiful?】

【Come, come, click on Taobao, then click on the Netherworld Official Flagship Store. There are fan-art body pillows of Her Majesty inside!】

【For only 998, take home a body pillow just like Her Majesty.】

【Ahem... I wonder if you brothers and sisters still remember Li He?】

【I remember! That ending was truly miserable!】

At this moment, the internet instantly went silent!!!

...【Wait, did you guys not notice the unknown goddess among them? She actually followed the Empress away so obediently.】

【Looking at that appearance, it seems the Empress and this goddess know each other!】

【Acquaintance is naturally the most normal thing, but in my opinion, I'm afraid there's more than just acquaintance between them! I have a premonition that there must be a little-known story hidden here.】

【Could they be bosom friends?】

【Perhaps they are a perfect match!】

【Maybe they share a soul connection?】

【Pah, pah, pah, how did the conversation suddenly turn so Yuri and 'G-L' style.】

...Inner Hall of Jiaotai Palace, Netherworld

Shang Wan Ning was focusing intently on handling government affairs.

Her brow was slightly furrowed, her gaze concentrated on the documents in her hands; nothing from the outside world could distract her in the slightest.

Ling Qi stepped lightly into the inner hall with a group of maids.

Each of them carried exquisite Yin Cuisine: there was fragrant Red Date Mudfish Soup, delicious Chicken Soup with Clams, and mouth-watering Minced Meat with Fish Lips... These delicacies were placed one by one onto the dining table, a dazzling array that couldn't help but stimulate the appetite.

Once all the dishes were properly placed, Ling Qi waved her hand, signaling the maids to quietly withdraw.

Then, she moved to Shang Wan Ning's side and said softly, "Wanling, put aside the matters at hand for a moment and have some food first."

However, Shang Wan Ning acted as if she hadn't heard, still burying her head in government affairs with full concentration, completely unmoved.

"Wanling, ever since you disregarded everything to forcibly break through to the Seventh Rank, your cultivation has not yet stabilized."

"Yet you bury yourself in these heavy government affairs day and night. Over time, even a divine body would find it hard to withstand such exhaustion!" A look of deep heartache appeared in Ling Qi's beautiful eyes.

Shang Wan Ning slowly put down the spiritual brush she was holding and said with a face full of helplessness, "As the Empress of the Netherworld, I must naturally shoulder the heavy responsibility of seeking welfare and being responsible for all my subjects."

"But... you must also take better care of yourself!"

As Ling Qi spoke, she stepped forward gracefully, extending her fair, jade-like hands and slightly curving her fingers. She gently and accurately pressed on Shang Wan Ning's shenting acupoint on her head, her movements skilled and tender.

"Rest assured, once the Judges and Yama Kings are successfully summoned in the future, I will consider delegating power appropriately."

"It's just that at this time, if I rashly delegate power, I'm afraid I won't find capable subordinates who can handle these matters for the time being."

"To say Sister Meng indeed has the ability to take over, but she has always been used to being free and easy; where would she be willing to be bound to this cold, hard chair?" Shang Wan Ning slightly closed her eyes, enjoying Qi Qi's perfectly balanced massage pressure.
