My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Listening to the mockery from below, Luan Xiaoyao turned red with embarrassment. Sneaking out of Northern Ming to gain fame had backfired, making her lose face. She was infuriated, and her emotions stirred like ripples in water.

Just then, on the eerie red umbrella in her hand, a wisp of black energy extended upward, climbing onto her pristine small arm.

Luan Xiaoyao's eyes showed a strange red glow. After a moment of stiffness, she suddenly turned around, swinging the Soul Reaper Umbrella towards the people below.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked. Was this little princess too overbearing? After losing face, she actually attacked innocent civilians?!

"This little girl needs a good beating again..."

In the teahouse, Gu Lan shook his head lightly. Although he didn't understand why Luan Xiaoyao suddenly went crazy, he wasn't worried. Yunlong Daoist was among the top experts in the world.

If, in broad daylight, the people could be harmed by the Imperial Realm Luan Xiaoyao, then he would no longer need to show his face, as it would be too embarrassing.

Mu Yuyan followed suit, nodding. It was good that Northern Ming's little princess was being taught a lesson; otherwise, if she had to intervene personally, it would be troublesome.

Indeed, as soon as Luan Xiaoyao was influenced by the Soul Reaper Umbrella, Yunlong Daoist's white eyebrows furrowed, and he exclaimed, "Outrageous!"

With a wave of his sleeve, he snatched the Soul Reaper Umbrella from her hand, shattering the resentful spirits released by Luan Xiaoyao with a resounding noise.

Luan Xiaoyao was suddenly stunned, as if waking up from a dream.

Yunlong Daoist, showing no mercy, pointed a finger, directly making the twin-tailed girl spit out blood and fly backward.

Ms Gui quickly flew out of the teahouse, catching her in a sorry state.

"Little girl, addressing you as Princess is giving face to Northern Ming's ancestors. Otherwise, even if your imperial brother comes, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like that!"

Yunlong Daoist declared domineeringly, his voice thundering.

In fact, no matter how unreasonable Luan Xiaoyao was, given her identity as a child, she didn't need to be taken seriously.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, today, Yunlong Daoist knew that Gu Lan was watching. If Luan Xiaoyao harmed people, and he did nothing, then he would lose face in front of his own Consecrator in the future.

At this moment, the people below and the cultivators narrowly escaped a calamity. After regaining their composure, their affection for Tianji Pavilion increased again.

"It seems that the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is as benevolent as Consecrator. This Northern Ming's Princess is simply unbearable, completely lacking humanity!"

"If the hearts differ, it is expected for people to be different. Well done!"

"Just like that female swordsman from before, she handled it beautifully!"

...

In the capital, this arrogant little princess has been too domineering for too long.

Those in higher positions, like Gu Lan and the female Emperor, might disregard her and just smile it off. However, the common cultivators and ordinary people have long been displeased!

Now, seeing Luan Xiaoyao being knocked unconscious with just a flick from Yunlong Daoist, everyone feels immensely relieved!

Ms Gui checked Luan Xiaoyao's breathing and, despite some complaints, she didn't dare to show it in front of Yunlong Daoist.

"She's not dead; it's just that her spirit-controlling and spirit-summoning techniques were disabled by me."

Yunlong Daoist spoke lightly, "The techniques of the Souls Town Ancestor are too sinister. I advise this little princess not to practice them; otherwise, she'll definitely suffer a backlash!"

The enhancement from the spirit cultivation coupled with the Soul Reaper Umbrella does indeed grant extraordinary combat power, making it commonplace to challenge opponents of higher realms.

However, the accompanying side effects include the vulnerability of the mind to attacks from vengeful spirits.

Just like what happened just now, if the mind is unstable, it becomes susceptible to the influence of resentful spirits and evil ghosts, leading to madness.

In the long run, disabling this technique is more beneficial than harmful.

Ms Gui humbly said, "I will heed Daoist's advice.

This old servant will now take the princess back to Northern Ming. In the future, when there is an appropriate time, envoys will go to Tianji Pavilion to express our apologies."

"It's none of this poor Daoist's concern," Yunlong Daoist said indifferently, pointing down, "Your princess caused trouble and offended the citizens of the Great Jing..."

Knowing that their Consecrator is a person from the Great Jing, he naturally had to say so. Finally, a chance to compliment!

Ms Gui immediately understood his meaning, bowing, "Yes! Northern Ming will send envoys to bring reparations to express our apologies to the Great Jing!"

After saying that, she took Luan Xiaoyao and left.

The farce came to an end.

Everyone felt quite comfortable!

Although the nobility of Northern Ming cannot be killed, the detested little princess's technique was disabled.

In the future, her violent temper and irrational behavior should improve significantly. It was quite a satisfying outcome!

The intervention of the Tianji Pavilion's Master also didn't diminish the prestige of the Great Jing!

At this moment, the top ten on the Martial Arts Power Ranking were announced one by one, shining brightly, illuminating the sky like a waterfall pouring down during the day!

"Tenth place, Ao Hanyi."

"Ninth place, King Mu."

"Eighth place, Prince Pingbei."

...

In the Great Jing's capital, many capable martial generals still made it to the rankings, raising banners for their respective families!

"Second place, Jiaqing!"

Seeing the female Emperor's name, many citizens and cultivators from the Great Jing spontaneously knelt down! Along the banks of the Chanting River, a massive crowd knelt down in unison!

"Long live Her Majesty!"

"Long live Her Majesty!!"

Regardless of whether it was out of awe for the Sword Immortal or gratitude for the sweeping reforms in the court over the past year, it was evident that the Great Jing Nation was undergoing a significant turnaround!

This was quite different from before she married Master Gu...

Watching the shocking scene unfold beneath the golden list, Mu Yuyan couldn't help but recall the time a year ago when she entered the secular world, burdened by public criticism and without a clue.

Warm emotions welled up in her heart, and she felt a sense of nostalgia.

Mu Yuyan glanced deeply at Gu Lan.

Gu Lan, unaware, raised an eyebrow in response.

This guy...

Mu Yuyan pursed her red lips, finding his handsome face displaying a funny expression. The contrast made her want to laugh.

She thought that after the Spring Examination, she would confess to him when he ascended to the high position of the co-king of the Great Jing. I wonder how he will react?

Oh, I almost forgot!

This guy would definitely mock her for the Heaven Mountain incident! (ฅωฅ*)

Mu Yuyan bit her plump cherry lips, her eyes watery. The heartfelt emotions were somewhat diluted by the foreseeable sense of shame...

...

The last Golden List appeared!

As expected, there was still no top spot on the Martial Dao Power Ranking.

That position was reserved for the Consecrator of Tianji Pavilion... Everyone understood this, and they accepted it wholeheartedly, without any objections!

After the golden list dispersed, Yunlong Daoist soared into the clouds, exuding an immortal aura that evoked admiration from the onlookers.

Gu Lan and his wife also rode back home.

On the way, passing through the tranquil Pear Blossom Lane, the carriage was stopped by a smiling old Daoist, the recently revealed Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion. He had been waiting for Gu Lan for quite some time.

"Daoist, please wait!"

Yunlong Daoist's tone was hurried as he bowed respectfully, a sharp contrast to his imposing demeanor when he revealed the list.

Gu Lan leaned out of the carriage, showing a faint smile.

"What brings you here, Daoist?"

"In this jade slip are some pieces of information about the Chiyang Dynasty from four thousand years ago to the present. Poor Daoist calculated it on the way here and foresaw that it might be helpful to Daoist!"

Yunlong Daoist took the initiative to present the jade slip.

Gu Lan was momentarily surprised but nodded in satisfaction.

"Daoist, you've calculated accurately. Thank you! I do have some doubts about the Chiyang Dynasty that I haven't been able to unravel..."

Such as whether the Chiyang female Emperor sanctioned the Heaven Mountain incident, the current situation of the Corpse Puppet Sect after the incident, where the Heavenly Demon originated, and whether the Six Realms passage was within the Chiyang territory, and so on.

Gu Lan reached out to take the jade slip.

The curtain lifted and fell with a flick.

Yunlong Daoist inadvertently caught a glimpse of the "ordinary" female Emperor inside the carriage.

Out of professional habit, he calculated Mu Yuyan's fate for Gu Lan. However, in the next moment, the old Daoist's pupils slightly contracted.
