章 355: Could She Choose Not to Accept His Compensation?!

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You’re not young anymore." The emperor had started the main topic, "Xijiu, I actually wanted you to be my daughter-in-law and that’s why I’ve appointed you a spouse when you were younger.

Unfortunately, Rong Yan, that bastard did something stupid and thus I've annulled both of your marriage contracts to prevent anything from affecting your future. But I do feel sorry for this, so, to compensate you, I’d have to appoint a good spouse for you so that you can be my daughter-in-law again, Rong Chu…"

How expected! Could she choose not to accept his compensation?!

She just managed to set a mid-level scum away and the emperor wanted to give her a high-level scum?

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness but I’m afraid that I’m unworthy to receive your blessing. After all, I’ve to enter the Dark Forest tomorrow and may not able to return. Therefore, if I’m engaged today, I’m afraid of bringing any trouble to the precious prince and that would be bad…" Gu Xijiu started to reject indirectly.

"Xijiu, it’s only because you’re entering the Dark Forest, that I urgently wanted to have you engaged. Firstly, good news would bring good luck; secondly, it could increase your confidence and the probability of you coming out safely. After all, a person with baggage would maximize one's own potential for safety…" The emperor started nagging.

Gu Xijiu, "…"

Was she stuck in an ancient period of time? The emperor unbelievably knew about her potential.

In fact, the dynasty was rather strange as it was not recorded in modern history books at all, yet the people of this generation knew the phrases of the ancient people. It seemed that they knew all about the ancient people before the arrival of the Tang Dynasty.

But after the Tang Dynasty, the history seemed to have been twisted and this dynasty which appeared to be a mere imagination, one that could not be deduced from modern knowledge, had emerged.

"Your Majesty, I do appreciate my life and I won’t lose it easily, despite not being engaged. I’ll try to come out with all my might…" Gu Xijiu spared no effort to stop the emperor from proceeding with his intentions.

The emperor became slightly gloomy, "Xijiu, are you trying to disobey my decree?" His voice became indifferent.

When the emperor got angry, an unknown amount of people would be decapitated. Therefore, the hall became so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.

Disobeying an imperial decree would not only be deemed a capital crime, but it may cause the whole family to be exterminated completely too!

Gu Xietian could not help to reply, "Your Majesty, please do not be angry, Xijiu will not disobey your decree. This kid was just…just afraid that she would be troubling the prince if she was engaged with him, should she not be able to come out from the Dark Forest…Xijiu, His Majesty is merciful, you mustn’t harbor second thoughts anymore. Quickly show your appreciation!"

Gu Xijiu frowned as she was annoyed by the system where the emperor had the utmost power and whatever the emperor said was authoritative - one that all officials had to accept and execute regardless…

However, she knew that with her current ability, she could not change the circumstances.

Though she could disobey the decree and still survive, her family and friends would be troubled.

"Xijiu, let’s proceed according to our plan!" Rong Jialuo’s voice shot straight into her ears.

With determination, Gu Xijiu bowed, "Your Majesty, Xijiu gives thanks for your kindness! Xijiu is willing to listen to you."

Soon after she said it, almost everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The emperor also became gentler, "Xijiu, I knew you were a good girl, then…" When he was about to say something else, a eunuch rushed in, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Celestial Master is here, along with saint Yun Qingluo!"

Gu Xijiu’s heart missed a beat!

Meanwhile, the emperor had already stood up and said, "Quick, invite them in! My officials, come with me to welcome them!"


章 356: Celestial Master Zuo Seemed to be More ostentatious

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

Both Celestial Master Zuo and Yun Qingluo came in very quickly, hence, the emperor, who was leading his imperial officials met them as soon as they just got out of the hall.

After six months, Gu Xijiu finally met Celestial Master Zuo.

This time, Celestial Master Zuo did not come with his wind-ship but appeared with modesty this time around.

Besides, he was not wearing his symbolic purple robe but a green robe instead. The robe was made from an unknown material but it seemed to be shading his body like mist, where a pattern of clouds and the lower hem had a mountain and a cloud embroidered on it. Those clouds seemed to move along with his movement, and further set off the mountain, making it appear more graceful and mysterious.

His black hair was still loosely hanging, with parts covering the fox-eyed shaped ruby on his forehead and his light silver mask was covering his long nose and look. Only his perfectly-shaped chin and light red lips were exposed.

By his side, there was a woman.

That woman was wearing light purple dress embroidered with petals. The dress was also made of a very soft material, fluttering in the breeze like the flowing spring water with pinkish peach flowers.

She was thin, 1.7-meter-tall and had a thin waist. Her dress was undoubtedly loose and conservative yet her graceful body outline could be seen clearly with a mere glance.

She had a butterfly-shaped white jade mask on her face too. Her mask was very exquisite, tailored to fit the shape of her face, which was covering the most part of her face, yet her clear shiny eyes and long nose could be obviously seen. Her red lips were slightly thin, but the shape looked just right, with its color bright and beautiful too.

She was indeed a beautiful lady with an excellent temperament. She made people feel like she was the cloud in the sky, idling along... graceful yet unattainable.

She was Yun Qingluo, with a level 6.5 spiritual power. She was also an advanced enchantress, a master of puppetry, as well as the youngest and the most recent heaven's gift’s disciple!

Before her, anyone who was standing with Celestial Master Zuo would pale in comparison, like regular green leaves highlighting a stark contrast.

But she was looked good standing by Celestial Master Zuo's side, in a way that it compelled others to feel that they were the perfect match!

As she used to be on the Open Heaven Stage, most people present already knew her but were still feeling shocked, despite seeing her for the second time.

Meanwhile, the ladies felt both jealous and excited when they glanced at Yun Qingluo and then turned to Gu Xijiu…

Lan Zhaoer, especially, curved the corners of her lips as if she saw Gu Xijiu finally being humiliated.

Gu Xijiu still looked calm. She was after all, only about 14 years old and was not tall. Therefore, she was camouflaged behind the crowd.

Along with the rest, she was sizing the two people up calmly.

"Master, six months have passed now. Celestial Master Zuo has seemed to be more ostentatious." The Firmament Stone bluntly commented.

"He doesn’t look ostentatious in this robe, does he? It looks quite unique and nice." Gu Xijiu commented objectively.

"Hmph, I don’t think it looks nice but more of an eyesore! And Yun Qingluo’s too, it looks like a purplish butterfly but an atrocious one!" The Firmament Stone switched its target.

Gu Xijiu was speechless, "Little Cang, I sincerely think that your aesthetic values seem rather poor. Would you like to read some books in your corner to upgrade your taste?"

The Firmament Stone, "…"

It was unconvinced, "But I think your cloth looks good."

"Hey, your aesthetic values are back to normal again." Gu Xijiu complimented it.
