Chapter 952: Chapter 628: I Join the Divine Dynasty, You Ascend to the Immortal Court_3

...

Immortal Court, South Gate Imperial Horse Department.

Clouds and mist twirled as a herd of strong and majestic white horses, like the Milky Way, streamed across the sky and quickly returned to the stables under the guidance of Powerful Warriors.

Besides the immortal horses, there were various rare and exotic beasts, which also returned to their own troughs, some of which were once formidable Great Demons, but under the ominous or auspicious appearances, their expressions were all quiet and docile, daring not to act out.

The Supervisor and his deputy held the Immortal Register, their faces full of feigned warmth as they accompanied this newly appointed officer.

"Officer, please review to see if there are any issues."

"..."

Lady Qinghua slowly walked through the stables, more luxurious than the palaces in Mortal Realm, looking at the group of docile Evil Demons crouching down.

Among the demons before her, some had enough power to flatten half of Hongze alone.

However, after she held the White Rhinoceros Seal in her hand, they couldn’t even dare to look her in the eye.

She slowly let out a breath, suddenly feeling quite sentimental.

Whenever there was an empty stall in the stables, the two beside her could report the whereabouts of those mounts without even a glance.

Just as Qinghua was getting accustomed to this, she suddenly noticed something odd.

The trough was clearly empty, but the Supervisor and his deputy acted as if they hadn’t seen it and swiftly led her past it.

Having just ascended to heaven, she bore a significant trust from her master.

Lady Qinghua could not afford to be careless and immediately stopped in her tracks, pointing at the stall and asked, "What about this one here, why did you not mention it?"

"Uh..."

The two beside her instantly turned red, as if choking, struggling to speak for a long time.

They could only secretly give Qinghua a look, then quietly glanced behind the officer.

"..."

Although Qinghua had not engaged in similar duties before, she was no greenhorn, and instantly realized she had misspoken.

She was ready to act as if nothing had happened and continue walking forward, but then she heard a sweet and warm voice from behind her.

"Reporting to the officer, I am here."

At this, Qinghua turned slowly, and what met her gaze was a woman in a snow-white dress adorned with purple flowers.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy from a painting, flawless from head to toe, with eyes clear as springs, invoking pity.

She simply smiled gently, quietly gazing at Lady Qinghua.

Held delicately between her slender, white fingers was an Immortal Order.

Even the Powerful Warrior who was selecting an immortal horse for her noticed something was amiss, freezing on the spot.

Could it be... could it be that no one told this Horses’ Fortune officer how this vacancy came about?

But nobody in the crowd knew that Qinghua’s heart was pounding fiercely, even afraid to look directly into the woman’s eyes.

Based on the woman’s attire and her words, she had guessed the woman’s identity.

But she must not let the woman know... where she had come from.

The change in Qinghua’s expression flashed by momentarily, an occurrence too subtle for others to catch.

But the woman’s eyes narrowed in an instant.

She smiled radiantly as she stepped forward, approaching Qinghua of her own volition; then, with childlike innocence, she lifted her head, gazing at the towering Golden Body, her voice still sweet, "It seems you recognize Zi Ling, could it be you are friends from the Mortal Realm?"

The moment her words fell,

Lady Qinghua’s wariness towards this woman deepened to the utmost.

She slowly closed her eyes, allowing her mind to fall into silence while calling upon the only person she trusted.

"..."

When the Golden Body opened its eyes again, its gaze had grown much deeper.

It indifferently lowered its gaze, sizing up the woman once more, its voice calm, "I was just wondering, is this position yours?"

"Indeed."

Zi Ling’s eyes flickered briefly, she nodded lightly; yet, she pondered the unease she had just perceived.

However, in the next moment, her thoughts were abruptly cut off.

The majestic Golden Body slightly extended its hand, slowly pulling open the stable doors, looking down at the woman from above, the tone of his voice devoid of any emotion, "Since that is so, go in."

A simple statement, yet it left everyone present dazed.

This newly appointed Horses’ Fortune actually dared to have Fairy Zi Ling enter the Imperial Stables.

Including Zi Ling herself, who incredulously looked on and then forced a smile, "I am acting under orders from Mighty General Qingluan, needing to leave on official duties, the Handwritten Decree will be sent to you shortly."

She felt she had been sufficiently tactful and had given enough face to this simpleton.

However, the Golden Body still stared at the empty stables, "Then we’ll discuss it when it arrives."

The next moment, light radiated from the White Rhinoceros Immortal Seal on its body, and immense power instantly enveloped the woman’s entire form.

"You..."

Instinctively, Zi Ling tried to break free from this invisible force, but within an instant, she realized her situation, retracted her aura, and let the immortal power’s giant hand grasp her and toss her into the stable.

She sat on the ground, her elegant gown wrapping around her now slightly trembling voluptuous body, her palms firmly digging into the soil.

Since ascending to the heavens, she had never suffered such an indignity!

Bang.

The Golden Body closed the doors expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened, and moved on to the next room.

Even if it meant losing this Immortal Position due to "ignorance," it could not allow the other to turn their attention towards Hongze.

The Supervisor and his deputy were shaking with fear, yet unable to utter a single word, as after all, this newly appointed official was indeed acting by the book.

But... but that was Fairy Zi Ling!

Just as the Golden Body was about to walk away, Zi Ling had already risen and lightly bowed towards that majestic back, her previously trembling hands now steadying.

"This time, Zi Ling acted improperly. From now on, Zi Ling will surely send the Handwritten Decree first before leaving on official duties; I hope you will pardon my offense."

Having said that, she straightened her skirt and then sat down quietly on the ground like the other ferocious beasts in the pen, hugging her knees, the only movement being her waist’s small gourd swaying slightly.

She looked quite pitiable, silently waiting for Mighty General Qingluan to come and fetch her.

The Zhenyu Golden Body’s steps faltered but then continued on as if hearing nothing.

Only in those gilded eyes did the murderous intent grow ever more intense.

Shen Yi always felt... if he did not eliminate the other party soon, then it would be he and all of Hongze that would be slaughtered.

Moreover, the time left to him might be much shorter than he imagined.
