731: The Empress Confirms Her Husband, Yu Rou's Experience

That night.

Phoenix Feather Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

In front of Kongtong Frost Snow were neatly arranged sandalwood incense burners.

And on either side of these incense burners were several rows of respectfully bowing officials and Eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, all the sandalwood incense made by Dan Sect's eligible Disciples are here, a total of 31,423 portions."

Cao Gonggong reported respectfully.

Hearing this, Kongtong Frost Snow, reclining on a dark red chair, looked at the sandalwood incense below.

After several hours of recuperation, her injuries were only barely stable.

Her face carried a paleness that ordinary people could not detect.

The surrounding officials' breathing paused slightly.

They were all watching this historical scene before them.

The monarch would be chosen from these over thirty thousand people.

Although the probability of one in thirty thousand was very small.

But if it truly fell upon an individual, it was simply a matter of being chosen or not chosen, two results.

This concerned the future development of these officials and could even trigger changes in the entire Five Spirits Continent's landscape!

As all the officials held their breath and waited, Kongtong Empress looked at the sandalwood incense before her and suddenly sneered, "As expected, quite a few of these sandalwood incenses have added ingredients."

Possessing memories from her previous life, the woman naturally understood that a significant portion of this sandalwood incense had been tampered with by people from the Demon Path.

She would certainly not suffer the hidden losses she incurred in her previous life again now.

"Bring up the sandalwood incense made by Dan Sect Lin Yun."

Kongtong Frost Snow's tone was direct, as if this was her only target.

And the remaining 31,422 portions of sandalwood incense were merely accompaniments from beginning to end, not even worth smelling!

Hearing this command.

Cao Gonggong quickly called two subordinates to search among the sandalwood incense below.

After a moment, an unremarkable incense burner was carefully presented by a servant.

"Light it."

After the woman finished speaking, a wisp of slow-rising fragrant smoke emerged from the incense burner under the servant's operation.

Amidst the faint fragrance, Kongtong Frost Snow felt her constantly taut nerves finally slowly relax.

As if she had found her belonging, a beautiful arc unintentionally appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Shuangxue, look, this is the sandalwood incense I refined for you.

It has the effects of nourishing the spirit, calming the mind, and even assisting in Cultivation.

I know you don't lack anything, and there are things much better than mine everywhere, but this sandalwood incense is my unique skill.

I refined it for several months, and it's the only one in the world!"

"How strange, didn't you say you refined it for several months in the previous life?

How do you have it now?"

Kongtong Frost Snow lay on the phoenix chair, looking at the dome of the magnificent palace above her head, muttering to herself.

The sandalwood fragrance drifted slowly, and the other officials in the hall also smelled this scent.

Afterward, each of them showed a look of doubt.

Although this sandalwood incense did smell good, it could be considered the Peak of sandalwood incense crafted from ordinary spices.

But what couldn't be changed.

Was the essence of these spices; they were too ordinary and cheap.

Compared to other sandalwood incenses made from spiritual plants that were tens of thousands of years old, this burner of sandalwood incense couldn't be considered outstanding...

Why was Your Majesty so captivated?

Looking at the Empress's expression of closed-eyed enjoyment, no one in the hall dared to make a sound.

Time slowly flowed past, the full moon hanging high in the sky.

Only then did Kongtong Frost Snow slowly open her eyes.

The incense had finished burning...

"It's him.

Announce to the world tomorrow, I will marry Dan Sect's Core Disciple, Lin Yun, as my Husband!"

The woman's words broke the silence in the hall and directly settled the matter.

After her words were spoken, the hearts of these high officials in the hall were slightly startled.

It's decided just like that?!

"Your Majesty, perhaps you would like to look at other sandalwood incenses?

This Dan Sect Saint Child is the foremost person among Dan Sect's younger generation; the spices he refined might be even more astonishing."

A first-rank high official stepped out from below and suggested respectfully.

"No need, I am also tired, you may all withdraw."

Kongtong Frost Snow waved her hand.

Her selecting a husband was never about looking at the sandalwood incense; what she looked at... was always the person.

"Your officials withdraw."

The officials below bowed.

After Kongtong Frost Snow's chosen candidate for husband was determined, the power belonging to the Royal Family throughout the entire Imperial Palace and even the entire Five Spirits Continent immediately began to operate!

Experts, one after another, rushed to Dan Sect overnight, guarding Lin Yun in secret to prevent any people from the Demon Path who learned the news from doing anything.

Lin Yun himself was unaware of all this.

At this moment, he was stabilizing the restless aura after his recent Breakthrough.

"This is Golden Core."

Lightly clenching his fist, Lin Yun felt a sense of familiarity with this Realm.

In his previous life, after he was brought into the Imperial Palace.

Just by relying on the rich spiritual energy in the Imperial Palace, he broke through to Golden Core in less than two months.

Now that he possessed this level of power again, Lin Yun adapted very quickly.

"Ding ~ Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to Golden Core.

Realm Breakthrough, rewarding 100 square meters of free space."

In his mind, the System that had been 'silent for a long time' spoke.

Hearing these words, Lin Yun paused slightly, closed his eyes, and appeared in the Reverse World.

As expected.

As the System's reward was issued, next to the hundred square meters of farmland he possessed, another area of the same size appeared!

Now he had something to busy himself with.

Thinking about the spiritual plant seeds he would need to collect later, Lin Yun turned and returned to the outside World.

Right now, he needed to find Jiang Yurou first.

After all, his injuries had healed, and he didn't need that girl to collect herbs for him.

Small Grass Mountain.

When Lin Yun arrived here, he saw Ninth Elder cracking melon seeds with a worried look on her face.

"Greetings, Ninth Elder."

Lin Yun said respectfully.

This caused Ninth Elder to look sideways, and her face, which was already full of worries, instantly darkened quite a bit: "What did you do to my """Tu"""?"

Hearing this, Lin Yun looked puzzled: "What happened to Yurou?

What did I do?"

"My """Tu""" jumped into the river to commit suicide!"

"If I, her Master, hadn't found her in time, that Child would have already died!"

Ninth Elder was uncharacteristically angry at a Disciple of the sect.

Her scolding tone and the content of her words also made Lin Yun momentarily stunned: "How is that possible?!"

Shouting with an excited tone, Lin Yun walked directly past Ninth Elder and quickly walked towards the house not far away.

Ninth Elder saw this scene, cracked a handful of melon seeds with a crunch, and sighed heavily in her heart, shaking her head.

"Yurou!"

After entering the house, Lin Yun saw the woman on the bed with a pale face.

She looked like she had just been rescued.

Although she had regained consciousness, her complexion was extremely poor.

And after Jiang Yurou saw Lin Yun, her body subconsciously leaned towards the other side of the bed: "Senior... Senior Brother Lin Yun, why are you here?"

Jiang Yurou seemed not to want to see Lin Yun.

While avoiding his gaze, she forced a smile with a somewhat strained expression.

"What's going on?

You jumped into the river?!"

Lin Yun frowned tightly.

He really couldn't figure out why this woman would do such a thing.

"Jumped into the river?"

Jiang Yurou showed a hint of confusion: "Senior Brother Lin Yun, was my Revered Master lying to you?"

"How could I jump into the river?

I just accidentally fell into the water, that's all.

Revered Master really... loves to talk nonsense."
