"Thank you, but I won't use it. Some effects are quite unbelievable, and I've always been cautious. Unless absolutely necessary, I dare not use it."
"You are indeed a wise person."
"Enough talk! Look, there's movement in the sky again!"
The Whale Demon was fleeing with injuries, while Sang Qingxiao was lightly wounded and pursuing the enemy. Everyone had expected to witness a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, it ended abruptly.
Sang Qingxiao's final strike was grand; it seemed as though she had killed the Whale Demon. In reality, at the moment of its dissolution, Sang Qingxiao had used a special talisman in hopes of preserving a fragment of the Whale Demon's soul, granting it a chance for reincarnation.
At the moment Jingnan shattered, all the dark mist retreated, and a ray of sunlight broke through the horizon. It was only then that everyone realized a whole day had passed.
Bathed in the morning sun, fine rain began to fall from the sky. Where the rain fell, life flourished; winter turned into spring, and flowers bloomed profusely until the rain finally ceased.
Mingze gazed at this wondrous sight and thought to himself about how everything had transformed.
Huo Qi's mood darkened as he remarked on the Whale Fall and all living things.
Suddenly, Mingze took off running. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! May Great Jing be blessed! Your Majesty, Miss Sang has won!"
Huo Qi watched his jubilant figure in disbelief. "Ha, this old fellow really knows how to time his praises for himself."
As Sang Qingxiao landed, Cai Zhuo approached with a joyful expression. "Miss, you were magnificent! The Emperor will surely reward you."
However, there was no joy on Sang Qingxiao's face. "Cai Zhuo has worked hard too; hurry and attend to His Majesty."
"Miss Sang, go on! The Emperor must want to see you."
But she didn't want to see anyone right now!
Following Cai Zhuo's urging, she still entered.
However, Li Cu stayed close by her side, leaning against her as if injured.
Upon entering the hall, a crowd gathered densely. Mingze was closest to Qin Mu Hui and animatedly recounted the details of the great battle.
One couldn't deny that Mingze was quite eloquent and knew how to stir the atmosphere. Yet in his narration, he portrayed himself as even more powerful than Sun Wukong. Normally, Sang Qingxiao might have teased him about it, but at this moment, she couldn't bear to listen.
"Your Majesty," Sang Qingxiao interjected directly, "I'm injured and wish to rest soon."
Before Qin Mu Hui could respond, one of the consorts beside him spoke up first. "Your Majesty is quite engaged in listening; it is rather rude for the young lady to interrupt."
Cai Zhuo quietly reminded her, "Consort Yun is the mother of the prince."
"Ah yes," Sang Qingxiao acknowledged. "I've heard of her. Though her family background is somewhat shallow, she enjoys constant favor and manages to gain several days of attention each month. She has two sons who are well-regarded among the princes."
Recently, there have been rumors in the palace about her promotion to Consort. His Majesty has also hinted at it slightly, and the ministers have no reason to oppose; the promotion seems to be a done deal, though the date has yet to be set.
It was also heard that Consort Yun has a fiery temperament. She is not one to be harsh or nitpicking, but when she suddenly speaks out in a challenging manner, it must be related to the princes. Perhaps she resents how she had made them plead multiple times without giving them much face.
