From Cold Palace Princess to Celestial Empress Ch. 37
Not long after.
Ye Ruoshui’s courtyard was the first to show signs of activity.
A surge of pure spiritual energy emerged, continuously spreading outward, repeatedly impacting the sealing array.
But this only lasted for a few moments before it quieted down.
Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang ordered:
“Remove the array!”
“Yes!”
As the sealing array was removed, Ye Ruoshui’s courtyard was fully exposed, and the aura of the peak Body Tempering realm emanated from it.
The next moment.
The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and a petite figure stepped out. The girl’s small face was flushed with a hint of baby fat, looking extremely adorable.
But what caught more attention was the ample curvature of her chest, making it impossible to look away.
Xiao Minghuang narrowed her eyes, carefully observing Ye Ruoshui’s changes.
She noticed that after her seclusion, Ye Ruoshui had grown a bit taller, and the curvature of her chest had become more rounded and fuller.
Previously, it seemed to have shrunk after cultivation, but after this seclusion, it had grown back, even surpassing its previous state.
Originally, she could grasp it with one hand, but now it might be a bit challenging.
At the same time, she also sensed Ye Ruoshui’s cultivation progress, having reached the peak Body Tempering Realm. The efficacy of the Five-Revolution Foundation Pill was better than she had imagined.
The girl’s eyes were filled with affection, her steps lively as she bounced over to Xiao Minghuang, a bright smile on her delicate face, as she said sweetly:
“Sister, I’ve now reached the peak Body Tempering Realm!”
“Excellent!”
Xiao Minghuang stood up, smiling as she patted Ye Ruoshui’s soft hair.
After this seclusion, Ye Ruoshui had grown significantly taller, now reaching up to her eyes.
Now, if she wanted to pat her head like before, she had to fully raise her arm to reach.
Ye Ruoshui cooperatively bent slightly, allowing Xiao Minghuang to complete the head-patting gesture.
In fact, compared to advancing her cultivation, Ye Ruoshui preferred being patted on the head and praised by her princess.
Around the same time.
Lin Wanqiu’s courtyard emitted a powerful aura, spreading outward like waves, even stronger than the fluctuations caused by Ye Ruoshui’s breakthrough.
The spiritual energy in the world seemed to fold, rolling outward like a tide, and even the sealing array could hardly contain the restlessness of this aura.
Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang’s expression turned serious, and she immediately activated her spiritual power, deploying all the prepared materials to continuously reinforce the sealing array.
As time passed and the array materials were nearly depleted, the restless aura in the courtyard gradually subsided.
The surrounding spiritual energy gradually calmed down, and Xiao Minghuang let out a long sigh of relief.
At the same time.
The courtyard gate opened, and a graceful figure emerged. The young girl was elegant and poised, with jet-black hair, snow-white skin, a slender waist, straight legs, bright eyes, and pearly teeth. Her features were as exquisite as a painting, and her beauty was ethereal and otherworldly.
Like Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu had also reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. Her vital energy surged and churned, and faint spiritual energy fluctuations could be sensed around her.
Moreover.
Her aura was more solid than Ye Ruoshui’s, and her vital energy was even more turbulent and powerful, as if she were just one step away from entering the Qi Refining Realm.
Lin Wanqiu swayed gracefully as she walked up to Xiao Minghuang, slightly bent her body, and with a soft smile, said in a gentle voice:
“Thank you, Your Highness, for the elixir. My meridians are now clear, and I have broken through to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.”
Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly, looking at the young girl before her, and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Lin Wanqiu had always been beautiful, but due to her naturally blocked meridians, she had been plagued by a lingering sense of melancholy, which always cast a shadow over her delicate features.
After taking the elixir, her meridians were unblocked, and her heart was unburdened. Her elegant and beautiful face was now free of any trace of sorrow.
The current Lin Wanqiu was radiant and vibrant. Just seeing her bright smile was enough to lift one’s spirits, as if it could infect everyone around her.
Seeing that Lin Wanqiu’s meridian blockage had been resolved, Xiao Minghuang was equally happy for her. She reached out and gently touched the soft hair on Lin Wanqiu’s head, smiling as she said:
“Wanqiu, from now on, you are a dragon soaring through the sky, no longer bound by any constraints!”
Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu shook her head, her beautiful eyes showing three parts gratitude and seven parts sincerity, as she spoke word by word:
“If it weren’t for Your Highness, I would never have been able to unblock my meridians in this lifetime. Your Highness’s great kindness is something I can never repay.”
“I do not wish to be a dragon soaring through the heavens. I only wish to be a humble maid, able to serve Your Highness by pouring tea, fetching water, dressing you, and tying your hair. That would be enough to fulfill my life’s wish!”
Seeing her determined expression, Xiao Minghuang said no more.
At this moment.
Lin Zhengquan flew over and landed on the ground. With a quick glance, he spotted his daughter, Lin Wanqiu.
But when he sensed the aura emanating from her, his eyes widened in shock and joy.
“Wanqiu, you… your meridians are unblocked?!”
Lin Wanqiu replied:
“It is all thanks to the elixir gifted by Your Highness that I was able to unblock my meridians and embark on the path of cultivation.”
Lin Zhengquan turned his gaze to Xiao Minghuang, knowing that it was she who had given that precious Yuan Mending Pill to Lin Wanqiu. His face was filled with gratitude, and he immediately knelt down with a thud.
“Thank you, Your Highness, for unblocking my daughter’s meridians. Your great kindness will never be forgotten!”
Xiao Minghuang gently helped Lin Zhengquan to his feet, smiling as she said:
“City Lord Lin, such grand gestures are unnecessary. I cannot accept them.”
Lin Wanqiu hurried forward to help her father up.
“Father, His Highness does not care for such formalities. Please, do not do this!”
Lin Zhengquan wiped away his tears, stood up, and his face was filled with relief.
“You are my only daughter. As long as you are well, I am content for the rest of my life.”
“Father…”
Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu was deeply moved. Her eyes reddened, and she lowered her head.
Since childhood, her meridians had been blocked, and even the royal physicians had declared that she would never be able to cultivate. Yet, Lin Zhengquan had never given up, spending vast amounts of spirit stones and elixirs to support her cultivation.
Lin Zhengquan, as a father, it could be said that he had not wronged her in the slightest.
Just as a touching father-daughter moment was about to unfold, Xiao Minghuang couldn’t help but cough lightly, interrupting the emotional scene.
“City Lord Lin, I have been in seclusion for a long time. May I know when the martial competition is scheduled?”
Hearing Xiao Minghuang bring up this matter, Lin Zhengquan couldn’t help but show a hint of embarrassment. He had been so overjoyed upon learning that Lin Wanqiu’s meridians were unblocked that he had forgotten about the important matter at hand.
Lin Zhengquan composed himself and gathered his thoughts. After a moment, he spoke:
“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The date for the martial competition with the Golden Elephant Kingdom is set for three days from now.”
Xiao Minghuang nodded and continued to ask:
“City Lord Lin, do you know the backgrounds of the participants from the Golden Elephant Kingdom?”
Lin Zhengquan smiled and said:
“I have already investigated thoroughly…”
At this point, he turned and looked around, “This is not the place to discuss such matters. Would Your Highness please accompany me to the main hall for a detailed conversation?”
Xiao Minghuang nodded.
“City Lord Lin, please lead the way.”
Soon, the group arrived at the main hall of the city lord’s residence.
After everyone was seated, Lin Zhengquan began to explain the details and intricacies of the martial competition, recounting the entire matter from beginning to end.
PS: Delighted to have gained the support of a big shot.
