249: Chapter 249 A Sage's Message! A Precious Gift!

"Crack—"

A slight, crisp sound.

The Saint message talisman, flickering with white light, instantly turned into powder and scattered with the wind after Su Feng finished reading Lin Fan's message.

This was the Major Thousand Worlds' highest-level burn-after-reading Restriction.

Su Feng stood there, sinking into a long silence.

His face, which usually wore a lazy smile, had no expression at this moment.

After a long while, Su Feng slowly raised his head and gave the Empress a look filled with complex emotions.

He didn't say another word.

Su Feng's figure flickered, turning into a spatial ripple and disappearing from the courtyard.

The Empress frowned slightly as she looked at where he had disappeared.

She understood Su Feng's personality too well. For him to show such a solemn look, something big must have happened.

"You have already Breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Ninth Path Great Perfection?"

Ying Liuli, who was nearby, let out a soft cry and looked at the Empress with some surprise.

The Empress pulled her thoughts back and nodded slightly at this Goddess from the Major Thousand Worlds.

"I remember that when you were in the Qianji Realm over ten years ago, you were just a little girl who had just finished Foundation Establishment, right?"

Ying Liuli circled the Empress, a mischievous light flashing in her beautiful purple eyes:

"Let me guess, to have such a fast Cultivate speed... are you a Reincarnation powerhouse? Or a Reincarnation powerhouse?"

Although Ying Liuli's words were in a joking tone, they sounded like a clap of thunder in the Empress's ears!

The Empress's pupils constricted suddenly.

"Even Ying Liuli, who rarely leaves her home, can see through my background at a glance... then how could Su Feng not know?!"

An awkward fact surfaced in the Empress's mind.

Being able to advance rapidly in a short time without the support of the Su Family's Golden Dragon of Fortune, the only answer was naturally "Reincarnation powerhouse."

Ridiculously, she had been feeling smug before, thinking Su Feng didn't know her true identity.

"So, he saw through everything long ago and was just quietly watching me!"

Having realized this, a rare blush appeared on the Empress's cold and proud face.

For the first time, she felt a trace of awe toward Su Feng's unfathomable depth of character.

"I'm quite curious about your past life."

Ying Liuli didn't press further. She stretched lazily, gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, and said softly:

"However, no matter what level of existence you were, at least in this life, the current Su Family treats you well. In the future, I hope you, this powerhouse, will take good care of us."

Ying Liuli's damaged Foundation had now been repaired by the fetus in her womb.

Although she didn't intentionally Cultivate, she had still reached the Eight-path Golden Immortal Realm.

If she wanted to, with her SSS-grade talent and the Luck blessing, her Cultivate speed would definitely not be much slower than the Empress's.

Moreover, the Shadow Clan's intelligence capabilities were the best among the Ten Thousand Races; even the Major Thousand Worlds had their shadows.

Listening to Ying Liuli's request.

The Empress took a deep breath and put away her last bit of proud disguise.

She looked at Ying Liuli solemnly, her tone serious:

"I promised Su Feng that I would unconditionally agree to one thing for him, and this promise is permanently valid!"

"That's good. In that case, I won't disturb you anymore. Come visit me when you have time."

Ying Liuli smiled with satisfaction. She casually took out a pack of spicy strips, stuffed it into the Empress's hand, waved, and flew away as a streak of rainbow light.

The Empress looked at the spicy strips in her hand, momentarily dazed.

Su Feng's wives... were all so strange.

...

At this time, Su Feng felt a bit troubled.

His figure flashed, and he appeared in Ying Yue'e's study.

Inside the study.

Su Chen was with his seven- or eight-year-old younger brother, helping Ying Yue'e organize government affairs while learning.

"Father!"

Seeing Su Feng come in, Su Chen called out affectionately.

Looking at his third son, who was now in his twenties, a trace of guilt rose in Su Feng's heart.

He stepped forward and silently patted Su Chen's shoulder.

The child had grown so much, yet he, as a father, had hardly looked after him.

He was either having more children for more blessings, or on the way to having more children for more blessings.

"I have something to discuss with your mother. You two go out first," Su Feng said gently.

"Yes."

Su Chen sensibly led his curious younger brother out and closed the door.

Only the two of them remained in the study.

Ying Yue'e had her long hair pinned up and wore a purple robe; her elegant charm had become increasingly rich.

"What's wrong? I've known you for so long, but I've never seen you with this expression."

Ying Yue'e stood up, took Su Feng's arm, and helped him sit in the grandmaster's chair.

Then, she stood behind him and used her fingers to gently massage Su Feng's temples. Although this action had no practical effect, it indeed calmed Su Feng's irritable heart.

"Do you remember me telling you about the Realm Demons?" Su Feng asked with his eyes closed.

Ying Yue'e's hand movements paused slightly, and she nodded:

"What's wrong? Have they fought their way here?"

Su Feng nodded, then shook his head.

"Soon. The Realm Demons is only two Star Domains away from us."

"The Major Thousand Worlds has already begun full-scale preparations for war!"

Hearing this news, Ying Yue'e's breathing hitched, and her full chest heaved violently.

Just then, Su Feng pressed his hand over Ying Yue'e's, flipped his wrist, and heavily slapped the [saint slip] into her palm.

"This is?" Ying Yue'e cried out in surprise.

"This is the saint slip left behind after the Heavenly God Old Ancestor fell."

Su Feng turned around and looked at her very seriously:

"You've had almost no time to Cultivate because you've been managing the Family. Among the core Family members now, your Realm is the lowest."

"The great calamity is approaching. Put aside all government affairs now, hurry up and go into secluded meditation to refine it!"

Looking at Su Feng's undeniable gaze, Ying Yue'e's heart was filled with emotion.

She had thought Su Feng went through such a long process to kill the Heavenly God Old Ancestor to pave the way for Ying Liuli or Shen Youchu.

She hadn't expected this priceless treasure was prepared for her, the Head Steward.

There was already a deep connection between the two, so no more words were needed.

Ying Yue'e didn't stand on ceremony and solemnly put away the saint slip: "Alright! I'll go into secluded meditation now!"

Su Feng smiled and nodded, not disturbing her further.

After Ying Yue'e activated the secluded meditation Formation.

With a thought, Su Feng's figure turned into a spatial ripple and disappeared.

The next second.

He appeared deep within the taiji heaven and earth diagram, inside the heavily sealed Dragon Clan palace.
