60: Chapter 60 Empress Turns into a Village Girl

The restaurant was deathly silent.

Everyone was looking at the woman wearing the red qipao.

She stood amidst the chaotic shards of broken glass, her hands frantically gesturing, muttering to herself like a charlatan suffering from Qi Deviation.

However, let alone a red energy ball capable of destroying the world, she could not even conjure a flame the size of a lighter.

"Why... why is it like this?!"

Empress Su Hongyi looked at her fair palms, her voice shifting from confusion to terror.

That sense of power, which used to fill her limbs and allow her to tear through the Void Realm with a mere gesture, had completely vanished.

In its place was an unprecedented sense of heaviness and weakness.

It was like an eagle accustomed to soaring, suddenly having its wings clipped and being thrown into a mud pit.

"Fan! Kill them for me! Hurry!"

Empress Su Hongyi turned her head abruptly and shrieked at Lin Fan beside her, her beautiful face becoming somewhat distorted by fear.

Lin Fan was also bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

Hearing Empress Su Hongyi's command, he instinctively let out a roar, habitually trying to mobilize the True Qi within his Dantian.

"A bunch of ants, die!"

He pushed off the ground with his feet, wanting to charge over like a blur as he used to.

"Bang!"

There were no special effects.

Lin Fan's body slammed heavily into a riot shield.

But the scene he expected—the shield shattering and the Special Police flying backward—did not happen.

Instead, a sharp pain spread from his fist throughout his entire body.

"Ah—!!"

Lin Fan clutched his right hand, tears almost streaming out from the pain.

His knuckles were red and swollen; he had evidently sprained them from using too much force.

In this "All Beings Equal Domain," he was no longer that Dragon King whose Physical Body could withstand tanks; he was just an ordinary live-in son-in-law with chronic malnutrition and mediocre physical fitness.

"Is this your strength?"

The Special Police officer holding the shield looked coldly at Lin Fan, who was rolling on the ground, and swung his baton without mercy.

"Snap!"

The rubber baton landed solidly on Lin Fan's shin.

"Ow!"

With this strike, Lin Fan screamed even more miserably than before, curling up like a cooked shrimp.

Without True Qi to protect his body, the pain from this strike was real.

"Impossible... my Vajra Indestructible Body... my Dragon Divine Art..."

Lin Fan's face was covered in snot and tears, completely devoid of the arrogant, overbearing attitude he had just moments ago.

"Click, click, click."

The sound of leather shoes stepping on broken glass approached from afar, crisp and rhythmic.

Gu Changan held no weapons in his hands, having even handed the document from earlier to the person beside him.

He walked step by step toward Empress Su Hongyi, his hands in his pockets.

Although in this Domain, Gu Changan also lacked any special abilities granted by the System, and his stamina had reverted to that of an ordinary division-level cadre who worked in an office.

But behind him stood thirty fully armed Special Police officers.

This was his confidence.

"What? No more wiping out the nine generations?"

Gu Changan stopped two steps in front of Empress Su Hongyi, lowered his head slightly, and the gaze behind his lenses was as calm as if he were looking at an expired newspaper.

Empress Su Hongyi instinctively wanted to mobilize her "Imperial Might" to intimidate this Mortal.

She widened her eyes, staring fixedly at Gu Changan, attempting to kill him with her gaze.

But in Gu Changan's eyes, this was merely the powerless glare of a mad woman.

"You... what Demonic Technique have you used on this Empress?!"

Empress Su Hongyi's voice trembled; that high-and-mighty tone sounded incredibly ridiculous now.

"This isn't a Demonic Technique; this is science."

Gu Changan raised his hand and pointed around, "In this Domain, there is no Empress, nor is there any Dragon King."

"Everyone is just a carbon-based life form with a head on their shoulders."

"Here, the only rule is the law."

With every sentence Gu Changan spoke, he stepped closer.

Empress Su Hongyi was forced to retreat repeatedly by that invisible aura.

The pride of being an "Empress" made her unwilling to bow her head, but her body's instincts told her that the man before her was dangerous.

"Don't come over... How bold! I will wipe out your nine generations! I will..."

Empress Su Hongyi backed away in a panic, and the heel of her high heels stepped on a piece of broken porcelain.

"Crack."

A piercing pain shot through her ankle.

"Ouch!"

Empress Su Hongyi exclaimed, lost her balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

That expensive custom qipao was torn by the glass shards on the floor, and beads of blood seeped from her fair lower leg.

Her hair bun was disheveled, and her jade hairpin fell to the ground, breaking into two pieces.

At this moment, where was even a shred of the demeanor of the "Nine Heavens Empress" left in Empress Su Hongyi?

She was just a common shrew who had been brought to justice after throwing a tantrum.

"It hurts... my foot..."

Empress Su Hongyi clutched her ankle, her eyes instantly turning red as large tears fell.

Her body was originally that of a pampered Young Miss; she had never even carried anything heavy, so how could she have endured such suffering?

Gu Changan looked down at her from above, his eyes devoid of any pity or tenderness.

He took out a pair of handcuffs he had prepared from his waist.

They were not special rune-inscribed handcuffs, but the most common type of stainless steel handcuffs found in police stations.

To deal with the current Empress Su Hongyi, this thing was enough.

"Hold out your hands."

Gu Changan's tone was cold.

"No! I won't wear them! This thing is filthy!"

Empress Su Hongyi desperately hid her hands behind her back, kicking her legs on the ground like a child who didn't want to go to kindergarten.

Gu Changan had no patience to waste words with her.

He reached out, grabbed Empress Su Hongyi's wrists, and skillfully twisted them behind her back.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts! It's broken, it's broken!"

Empress Su Hongyi let out a pig-like shriek.

"Click."

The cold metal rings locked onto her delicate wrists.

Gu Changan firmly pressed the lock to ensure it was secured.

Empress Su Hongyi felt her wrists heavy, and the cold sensation gave her goosebumps all over.

"What is this piece of junk! Why is it so heavy!"

Empress Su Hongyi cried out, trying to shake off the iron lumps on her hands, "Unlock them! Do you know who I am? I am an Empress! I am the Dominator of this world!"

"Save it."

Gu Changan stood up and brushed the dust off his hands.

"This is the weight of the law. Whether it's an Empress or the Jade Emperor, if you break the law, you must bear the consequences."

He turned around, no longer looking at the disheveled woman on the ground, and waved his hand at the Special Police nearby.

"Take them all away."

Two sturdy female Special Police officers immediately stepped forward, grabbed Empress Su Hongyi's arms from left and right, and dragged her up from the ground like a dead dog.

On the other side, Lin Fan was also held down by the head by two Special Police officers, cuffed behind his back, and had a dirty rag stuffed into his mouth to muffle his wailing.

"Let me go! You bunch of lowly ants! Once I recover my strength, I will tear you all into pieces!"

Empress Su Hongyi's feet dangled in the air, still kicking desperately.

Her hysterical appearance left the remaining diners stunned.

Who could have imagined that the noble and cold queen who was just about to destroy the city a moment ago would now look like a shrew cursing in the street.
