"How could our Xuantian Divine Dynasty, which has been fighting the Yuanzu Divine Dynasty for so many years, ever be afraid of them?"
"That's right, if we send out Princess Yunxi, it would be equivalent to showing weakness to the Yuanzu Divine Dynasty. I, as a general, cannot accept that!"
"However, the Yuanzu Divine Dynasty is powerful now. They have completely annexed all the Immortal Forces in the Southern Yuan Star Region, and their national strength has reached its peak. The threat is too great."
"We can send out Princess Yunxi to temporarily avoid their sharp edge, and then make plans later."
"Yes, we are not directly surrendering. Besides, don't forget that World Child Su Yu, he is the most threatening existence."
"Hmph, has a mere World Child scared you all? Don't forget our Dynasty's Young Master. He is a Congenital Holy Body Dao Embryo, one of the most prodigious Physiques of all time. Is he afraid of a World Child?"
"That's right, our Dynasty's Young Master is an existence that transcends the entire world. Even the Nandou World cannot limit his future!"
"As long as the Young Master is here, our Xuantian Divine Dynasty will not be destroyed!"
"But…"
In the grand hall, civil and military officials were all arguing.
And Empress Yue Zhilan sat high on the imperial throne, her cold and beautiful face expressionless.
Only her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"All of you, shut up!"
Empress Yue Zhilan let out a soft shout.
The entire noisy hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter.
In front of Jun Xiaoyao, Empress Yue Zhilan was an infinitely gentle and loving mother.
But in front of others, Empress Yue Zhilan was the cold, peerless, and incomparably domineering Xuantian Empress.
However, at this moment, Empress Yue Zhilan was indeed having a headache.
The national power and Luck of the Yuanzu Divine Dynasty had surged too quickly.
Even Empress Yue Zhilan felt it was a thorny issue.
Of course, to say she was in despair was far from the truth.
After all, her man, who was the biological father of Jun Xiaoyao and Yunxi, was no ordinary character.
But Empress Yue Zhilan was a strong woman.
Unless forced to a dead end, she absolutely did not want to rely on others, even her own man.
At this moment, an experienced old minister stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying,
"Your Majesty the Empress, your humble servant suggests a compromise."
"Let Princess Yunxi and that Su Yu meet in a chosen location. This avoids the awkwardness of going to the Yuanzu Divine Dynasty and can temporarily buy us time."
"Moreover, that Su Yu seems quite infatuated with Princess Yunxi, which might also be an opportunity."
"If Princess Yunxi can completely win over that Su Yu, make him leave the Yuanzu Divine Dynasty, and become the consort of our Xuantian Divine Dynasty, then we will be completely stable."
"By then, our Dynasty, in addition to having Young Master Your Highness, a Holy Body Dao Embryo, will also have a World Child."
"Our Xuantian Divine Dynasty will dominate the Nandou World in no time!"
As the old minister spoke, his old face flushed with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials present suddenly understood and then nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty the Empress, this is indeed a good idea."
"Besides, that Su Yu is a World Child, meaning he will be the future master of the Nandou World."
"Allowing Princess Yunxi to be with him would not be an insult to the Princess."
A tall and burly middle-aged man stepped forward and said.
He was the Grand General of the Xuantian Divine Dynasty.
That Xiang Lie was his son.
He naturally knew that his son admired Yunxi.
But with national affairs at stake, his son's feelings were naturally nothing.
Moreover, Xiang Lie had no chance of successfully pursuing Yunxi.
Hearing the words of these ministers, Empress Yue Zhilan furrowed her Phoenix brows.
This was indeed a possible solution.
It's just…
How would her daughter Yunxi view this?
Although with Su Yu's identity as a World Child, he was indeed worthy of Yunxi.
He could even bring immense Luck to Yunxi and the entire Xuantian Divine Dynasty.
But when it came to matters of the heart, it was ultimately up to them to decide.
Just as Empress Yue Zhilan was frowning in thought.
A crisp sound of footsteps slowly came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked over.
Yunxi, in a green dress and with a beautiful face, walked into the hall.
At eighteen, Yunxi's figure was even taller, like a green willow.
Her skin was like white jade, without the slightest flaw.
Her exquisitely beautiful face had shed some of its former youthful innocence.
What remained unchanged was her ethereal, rain-like temperament, embodying the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth, making her unforgettable at first sight.
"Xi'er…" Empress Yue Zhilan's lips moved.
Yunxi's gaze fell upon Empress Yue Zhilan's furrowed willow eyebrows.
She knew her mother was facing a difficult choice.
"Mother, if you need Xi'er, Xi'er is willing," Yunxi said softly.
She was no longer the carefree maiden she once was.
She also knew that her country and her mother were facing a difficult choice.
The Yuanzu Divine Dynasty was like a towering mountain, pressing down on everyone, making them breathless.
As for her brother, Jun Xiaoyao, he had been in seclusion for three years again.
No one dared to disturb him, and no one knew what state Jun Xiaoyao was in now.
Now that the crisis had arrived, Empress Yue Zhilan had also given orders that no one was to disturb Jun Xiaoyao.
"Xi'er, do you know what you are saying?" Empress Yue Zhilan sighed.
"Xi'er naturally knows." Yunxi's eyes were steady, with light flowing within them.
"If Brother isn't here, I must help Mother protect this country…" Yunxi murmured in her heart.
She didn't complain about why Jun Xiaoyao had been in seclusion for so long again.
She just wanted to share as much of the pressure as possible.
The faces of the ministers present were somewhat dim.
Especially the old minister who had proposed the idea earlier.
Such a large Immortal Dynasty actually needed a young girl to resolve the crisis.
But at present, apart from this method, there seemed to be no better solution.
Just as the atmosphere in the entire hall was slightly subdued.
Rumble…
Suddenly, a rumbling tremor sounded.
Everyone was startled and uncertain.
"That aura is coming from Xuantian Palace!"
The Grand General, who was Xiang Lie's father, showed a look of alarm in his eyes.
Everyone's vision blurred.
The next moment, a Young Master in snow-white robes, with an extraordinary temperament, stood calmly in the hall.
It was Jun Xiaoyao, of course.
"Brother…"
Yunxi was stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and delight.
Although Jun Xiaoyao allowed her to enter and exit Xuantian Palace at any time.
Yunxi also didn't want to disturb Jun Xiaoyao's Cultivation too much, so she rarely saw him.
Another three years had passed.
Jun Xiaoyao was tall and slender, with a restrained temperament.
Ordinary people couldn't detect the slightest trace of his Qi.
But this made him even more terrifying, like a deep pool, unfathomable.
"Silly girl, am I not here, and you're in such a hurry to marry yourself off?" Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
That smile, like the warm sun in spring, touched Yunxi's heart.
Her eyes suddenly reddened, and then she couldn't help but throw herself into Jun Xiaoyao's arms.
Jun Xiaoyao patted Yunxi's little head.
This girl had clearly been under a lot of pressure.
"Xiao'er…"
The cold solemnity on Empress Yue Zhilan's face also dissipated, and her Phoenix eyes showed delight.
If there weren't civil and military officials present, she probably would have lost her composure and couldn't help but embrace Jun Xiaoyao.
"Your son greets Mother." Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.
Then he turned and swept his gaze over everyone present.
"You want my sister to go find that Su Yu?" Jun Xiaoyao said faintly.
His tone was calm.
But the subtle pressure made all the civil and military officials present feel a sense of suffocation.
They lowered their heads, their hearts filled with shock.
Only three years had passed, to what extent had this mysterious Young Master become stronger?
"A World Child like an ant has scared you all like this?"
