65: I am his...master
"Great Princess!"
Maids and other servants in the palace would greet Chu Yaner whenever they saw her.
"You're still a Great Princess?"
Xiao Hao asked in surprise. Upon hearing him, Chu Yaner slowly raised her arrogant head.
"Just so-so. It's just that my mother is the current Empress, and I'm her only daughter."
Chu Yaner waved her hand, seemingly humble, but the vanity brought by her status was almost overflowing.
"Does your mother have three thousand handsome men in her harem?"
Xiao Hao was a bit confused. Previous emperors had three thousand beauties in their harems, and he wondered if this Empress did as well.
Thud!
"Ouch! Hiss~"
"Master, why did you hit me!"
Xiao Hao clutched his head, his eyes puzzled, and he grimaced as he looked at Wang Feng.
"Can you speak properly? Who asks someone's daughter if her mother has three thousand handsome men in her harem right to her face?"
Isn't that like asking if her mother has three thousand husbands?
Wang Feng gave Xiao Hao a look, letting Xiao Hao figure it out himself.
"Of course not! My mother isn't like those former emperors."
Chu Yaner's face darkened a bit upon hearing Xiao Hao's words.
"Oh, oh, sorry."
"Then what about your father?"
As the four walked, Xiao Hao kept asking Chu Yaner questions.
He was simply curious; Chu Yaner had never mentioned her father before.
"He's dead!"
Chu Yaner was visibly unhappy, especially when asked about her father, and her eyes held a hint of anger.
Xiao Hao obediently shut his mouth...
Wang Feng glanced at Xiao Hao. He was good in every way, except that he spoke too directly, saying whatever came to mind.
However, Chu Yaner was not overly sensitive, and after a while, she happily started chatting again.
"Mother!"
Chu Yaner, walking ahead, her eyes lit up because her mother, the current Empress, was walking towards them.
Wang Feng and the other two looked up upon hearing her.
They saw a woman with no trace of aging on her face, exuding an aura of a superior, displaying noble and mature charm, walking gracefully in a phoenix robe.
She didn't have the youthful aura of a young girl.
She was more like a woman around thirty, but with exceptionally well-preserved skin.
Wang Feng scrutinized her, greatly astonished. What surprised him was not her beauty, but her...
Previous identity and cultivation!
Chu Moxi
Identity: Immortal Court's Former Saintess / Dongyang Dynasty's Empress
Realm: Saint King Realm Ninth Layer Peak
Innate Weapon: Saint Artifact High-Grade Blazing Phoenix Spear.
Holy DJ!!!
Wang Feng's heart was about to burst out. The Immortal Court's Former Saintess, retired from the Cultivation World, became the Empress of a mortal dynasty?
No! Impossible. If she truly retired, she wouldn't be so stable.
Just her sect, the Immortal Court, wouldn't agree, let alone her enemies. So, there must be another hidden reason.
Wang Feng finally understood why her imperial position was so stable. It turned out she wasn't relying on the so-called powerful individual in the imperial city.
Instead, she herself possessed that strength, even tens of millions of times greater.
Jiang Hanxi looked at Chu Moxi, a strange glint in her eyes. With her current cultivation, she couldn't quite see through this person's aura.
Even her Ancient Cold Pupil could only perceive a faint, overbearing fiery red aura emanating from her.
This person either had extremely high cultivation, or her physique was similar to that foolish... liar next to her.
However, she had only seen two people with this liar's physique: first, this liar, and second, that villainous Great Emperor.
Therefore, this person's cultivation must be extremely high.
Moreover, using her Ancient Cold Pupil to observe the fiery red aura on her, it seemed to be a fire-type spirit root or physique, which was not simple.
"Yaner, who are these people?"
Chu Moxi's voice was clear and filled with curiosity. Although she already knew the identities of Wang Feng and the others in her heart.
But it was better to go through the formalities.
"Mother, these are the people I told you about who scolded me, but this big sister didn't, and she's so beautiful."
"Big sister, can you take off your bamboo hat and let my mother see?"
Chu Yaner asked Jiang Hanxi with a playful smile.
Chu Moxi looked at Jiang Hanxi, who was wearing a white veiled bamboo hat, and extended her divine sense.
She wanted to see how beautiful she was to have captivated Yaner like this.
With this woman being at Condensation Spirit Realm Second Layer, she definitely wouldn't be aware of her divine sense.
Jiang Hanxi, with her former Great Emperor's divine sense, albeit incomplete.
But how could she not be aware of a divine sense trying to peek at her face?
However, she did not resist. She could resist, but the cost would be great.
And it wasn't worth fighting just because someone wanted to see her face.
So, she simply took off her bamboo hat and put it into her Divine Sea Space.
Chu Moxi didn't think much of it, only assuming she used some external object similar to a storage ring.
Chu Moxi stopped her divine sense when she saw her take off her bamboo hat.
When Jiang Hanxi took it off, she was instantly captivated.
It was no exaggeration to say that this woman was even more beautiful than her.
No wonder Yaner was so mesmerized. With just one glance, Chu Moxi's favorable impression of Jiang Hanxi increased by at least ten percent.
Wang Feng had also sensed a strange feeling around him just now.
Although he didn't have the incomplete divine sense that Jiang Hanxi had from her fallen Great Emperor cultivation.
However, having lived nine lives, his perception was still quite strong.
After a moment's thought, he knew that the Empress in front of him, the former Saintess of the Immortal Court, Chu Moxi, was probing Jiang Hanxi's face.
He didn't expect Jiang Hanxi to just take it off directly.
"Let's go inside and chat first."
Chu Moxi smiled faintly and led Wang Feng and the others to a small pavilion for receiving guests.
"I hope Yaner didn't offend any of you with her words during your time together?"
Chu Moxi didn't put on any airs, simply pouring tea and speaking like a normal parent.
"Mother~!"
Chu Yaner expressed her dissatisfaction in a spoiled tone. Why was her mother taking their side?
"No, no."
"Yes!"
Wang Feng and Xiao Hao spoke at the same time, and the word "yes" was naturally said by Xiao Hao.
"Dead Rat, are you looking for a beating?!"
"No, no, absolutely not."
Seeing Wang Feng say no, and pressured by Chu Yaner's angry gaze, Xiao Hao quickly waved his hands and re-answered Chu Moxi's question.
"Hehe, you are quite interesting."
Chu Moxi chuckled twice and gently placed the brewed tea in front of Wang Feng and the others.
"By the way, why are the two of you restraining each other?"
At this moment, Chu Moxi seemed to have just noticed Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi, and asked curiously.
"I'm afraid he'll run away."
This time, Jiang Hanxi spoke even faster than Wang Feng, seemingly afraid that Wang Feng would say something absurd again.
"Oh? Are you enemies?"
"No."
"Dao companions?"
"No."
Chu Moxi asked a question, and Jiang Hanxi answered simply, which was basic courtesy.
"Then you two?......"
"I am his... Master."
Jiang Hanxi hesitated mid-sentence, as if pondering whether it was appropriate, but ultimately said it.
"Ah???"
"Ah???"
"Ah???"
Three exclamations echoed from the small pavilion, coming from Wang Feng, Xiao Hao, and Chu Yaner, respectively.
Especially Wang Feng's and Xiao Hao's voices were the loudest.
Wang Feng: When did Jiang Hanxi become my Master!?
Xiao Hao: How did Master's wife become Ancestral Master!?
Chu Yaner: Isn't she Dead Rat's Master's wife!?
Chu Moxi: What's with their reactions?
Jiang Hanxi: Why are their reactions like this? Is being his Master... inappropriate?
"Mother! Just let me come back!"
Just as Wang Feng and the other two finished exclaiming, a voice came from not far away, and the few people looked over upon hearing it.
Chu Moxi's eyes narrowed for a moment, but it disappeared instantly.
