Zhou Jia was now in a state of panic.
If there was anything in her thousands of years of life that had shocked her the most, it was the Saint's sudden change of attitude.
Looking at Emperor Capital's warm smile, Zhou Jia nearly fainted. After a long pause, she stammered incoherently.
"Good... you... I..."
She didn't even know what she was saying, she was just extremely nervous.
Chen Xia took a step and appeared beside Emperor Capital, patting his shoulder and chuckling, "Don't scare senior sister."
"I definitely won't scare senior sister, I'm very polite," Emperor Capital boasted, then continued.
"Senior sister, do you have any requests? As long as you ask, I, Emperor Capital, will definitely make it happen for you!"
Holy crap!
Emperor Zhou, who was standing behind, suddenly stood up, his eyes as wide as copper bells, full of excitement. He wished he could fly over and speak for Zhou Jia, to make the Great Zhou Dynasty the number one dynasty in the Star Region!
But Zhou Jia didn't dare to respond, only managing a smile that looked worse than crying. The ups and downs of life had come too quickly, and she could barely handle it.
Now the cultivators present also understood the situation. Chen Xia and Emperor Capital - clearly Chen Xia was in the lead, with Emperor Capital, a Saint, following behind.
Didn't this mean that the person who had just been refining pills in front of them was at least a Saint as well?
The crowd could no longer contain themselves, their expressions shocked. They never imagined they would see a Saint refining pills in their lifetime.
No wonder Chen Xia could refine such incredibly high-grade pills!
Emperor Zhou stood at the back, now wishing he could slap himself hard. He had actually imprisoned Chen Xia in the dungeon, and for several months at that.
He was a beast, truly a beast.
He felt immensely guilty, believing he had ruined the Great Zhou Dynasty's chance to rise.
If he had treated Chen Xia with the utmost hospitality, wouldn't the Great Zhou Dynasty have been able to dominate the Star Region in the future?
Damn it!
Emperor Zhou, unable to contain his frustration, suddenly slapped himself hard.
Chen Xia, seeing the shocked expressions of the cultivators, shook his head and patted Emperor Capital's shoulder, saying, "Let's go, we need to find someone."
Hearing this, Emperor Capital immediately perked up and nodded eagerly, "Alright, alright."
Chen Xia smiled at Zhou Jia again and said, "Senior sister, I'll come see you again in the future."
Though when this "future" would be was uncertain.
Emperor Capital also smiled and said, "Senior sister, come visit when you're free. I'm just above the Great Zhou Dynasty, very close by."
"Uh..." Before Zhou Jia could finish speaking, the two had already disappeared.
Everything felt so dreamlike.
Finding Chen Xia in a small celestial body, spending hundreds of years together, and then after returning, Chen Xia descended from the sky, meeting again.
She never imagined Chen Xia could refine such powerful pills and have such a close relationship with a Saint.
She lowered her head slightly, her expression still somewhat bewildered.
The crowd's gazes towards her were very warm, with a hint of flattery. She would be the new empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
She definitely would be.
In the vast universe.
Emperor Capital led the way in front, with Chen Xia following behind.
"I talked with Qiu Li a few days ago. That guy is indeed arrogant, boasting that he would get even with you and regain his honor."
"Tsk tsk, even I thought he was just bluffing. He's the type who hasn't been beaten up in a long time. When we meet him later, you must teach him a harsh lesson."
Emperor Capital kept talking, every sentence about his good brother Qiu Li.
Chen Xia listened quietly, also marveling at the brotherhood between the two. Perhaps one day if Emperor Capital were beaten to death, he would want to be buried together with Qiu Li.
That's what good brothers do.
The two moved extremely fast, and the journey wasn't far. They soon arrived outside Qiu Li's cave dwelling.
Emperor Capital spoke first.
"When we go in, Qiu Li might act very respectful towards you, but don't be fooled. It's all an act. Deep down, he still thinks you're nothing special and remains unconvinced."
"So what should we do?" Chen Xia asked, following his lead.
"Naturally, we should give him a good thrashing first. I can lend you a hand when the time comes," Emperor Capital said with a smile.
"Alright," Chen Xia replied, "You take the lead, and I'll back you up."
Emperor Capital's spirits instantly lifted, and he directly led Chen Xia into the cave dwelling.
On the high platform in the great hall.
Qiu Li had been feeling uneasy all day, sensing that something was about to happen, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Was it good or bad?
He was puzzled.
Suddenly, a sound echoed through the cave dwelling.
Emperor Capital strode in, a confident smile on his face.
Hmm, it must be bad news.
Qiu Li thought to himself, maintaining a neutral expression.
Emperor Capital continued smiling, bowing forward with an outstretched hand in an inviting gesture.
"Brother, this way please!"

For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
