Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Zhao’er vs Empress_1

The golden Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled into an estate by the shore of West Lake, and the Empress turned to Zhao’er with a light laugh, "Come, join me for a cup of tea."

Zhao’er said nothing, getting out of the car with the Empress.

The chilly early winter breeze wrinkled the clear waters of West Lake, the shimmering waves reflecting on the faces of two peerless beauties, making them seem like fairies of a lost world, captivating and ethereal.

The Empress sipped the tea prepared by the maid and smiled at Zhao’er, "This tea has a unique flavor, you should try a sip."

"Boring."

The Empress was slightly startled, then chuckled and shook her head, "You should say ’not interested,’ not ’boring.’"

"No difference."

In some respects, Zhao’er had her own stubbornness.

And to Dong Fangxiao, also known as Shadow Thirteen, peering from outside the pavilion, everything seemed exceptionally eerie.

Indeed, eerie was the only way to describe it.

She had been indoctrinated from a young age with the notion that the Empress was supreme, hence she held absolute sincerity towards the Empress, but at the same time, she also harbored a deep fear of her.

Though she hadn’t spent much time with the Empress, in that brief period, she witnessed the Empress’s terrifying and despair-inducing power and temperament.

To Dong Fangxiao, the Empress’s horror lay in her unpredictability, in how she regarded everything as insignificant, obliterating all humanity.

However, since the Empress merged with the Goddess, Dong Fangxiao noticed that the Empress seemed to have changed.

Although the current Empress still gave off an extremely distant aura and would kill at the slightest displeasure, Dong Fangxiao couldn’t understand why, but she felt the Empress had changed.

She had become somewhat approachable, or in other words, she seemed more compassionate now.

The former Empress was a monster that had slumbered for over a thousand years, but now, Dong Fangxiao found that the Empress was beginning to seem more like a woman.

"Today, I called you here because I want to discuss something with you."

This was the first time the Empress had used "I," indicating that she now regarded Zhao’er as an equal.

"Speak," Zhao’er responded indifferently.

The Empress was not annoyed, she took another sip of tea, and leaned back gently against the soft seat.

"Leave Li Muyun."

Zhao’er gazed steadily at the Empress, silent and unruffled; she said nothing, only looked at the Empress.

At that moment, the Empress snapped her fingers softly, and soon a line of young men with smiling faces approached.

Each of these men was handsome in his own way, not only good-looking, but their personalities also seemed quite diverse, with handsome and scholarly ones, muscular and masculine ones, and even the fresh-faced young men that young girls currently adored most.

"Each of these men is far better looking than that Li Muyun. If you leave him, I’ll give them all to you, to do with as you please. How about that?"

Zhao’er suddenly smiled, slowly lifting her right hand, and pointed at a man in a sharp suit wearing refined glasses.

"Oh, you actually like..."

The Empress was just about to speak when, as she turned her head back, she was horrified to find that the scholarly man was aging at a visible rate!

Without waiting for the Empress to speak again, Zhao’er extended her slender jade finger and pointed at another muscular man beside the scholarly one. The man, surely over six feet tall, suddenly let out a piercing scream. Following that, his muscles shrank rapidly, and his burly figure turned to skin and bones in an instant!

"A demon!"

The remaining men instantly panicked and started to run.

The Empress witnessed this and let out a cold snort.

Dong Fangxiao turned around, her form flickering rapidly, creating several afterimages as she chased after the fleeing men. In less than a dozen seconds, the men who had run were lying in pools of blood.

"I apologize, the preparations this time were somewhat rushed, and the quality and conditions of this batch are somewhat lacking."

Zhao’er turned her head to look at the Empress, finally taking the initiative to speak, "You are afraid."

"Hmm? What did you say!?"

"You’re afraid I will take Yun away from you."

"Nonsense!" the Empress erupted in furious anger, "I merely do not wish you to follow him, you should know, between you and me a very special connection has already been established, if your heart is touched, I can feel it as if it were my own."

"Your affairs are none of my business, nor do I wish to interfere." Zhao’er slowly stood up.

Seeing Zhao’er remain resolute, a surge of oppressive force suddenly enveloped her entirely, and the Empress’ body levitated into the air.

At this moment, her black hair whipped wildly with the wind, her piercing eyes seeming capable of tearing Zhao’er to shreds!

"I’ll give you one last chance, leave Li Muyun!"

Zhao’er did not speak, still looking at the Empress with an indifferent expression.

"You’re courting death!"

The Empress cried out tenderly, launching a palm strike at Zhao’er from across the air!

"Bang!"

The waters of West Lake behind Zhao’er were suddenly lifted into a wave several meters high!

Yet Zhao’er, she still looked at the Empress with an unchanged expression, the palm strike from the Empress that seemed immensely powerful did not affect Zhao’er in the slightest.

"You... I did not expect you to be hiding your true strength!"

"If it were anyone else, anything else, I wouldn’t care, but when it involves Yun, I cannot stand idly by."

Zhao’er’s manner of speaking remained somewhat strange, however, the Empress still understood, her brows knitted together as she berated Zhao’er angrily, "You dare to oppose me!?"

"Let’s try and see," Zhao’er extended her hand and pointed towards the eastern sky, "Go to the sea, and let’s have some fun."

"Fine!"

The Empress agreed immediately, and both their figures vanished from Dong Fangxiao’s line of sight in an instant.

"Gulp."

Dong Fangxiao, who had always thought she was rather impressive, swallowed hard, gently patting her ample chest, and sighed, "That was close, thankfully I did not act against that woman just now, or death would certainly have been mine."

"Boom!!"

A thunderous roar echoed over the seas of Qiantang Bay, the air instantly torn in two!

A bizarre sound spread out in all directions, the glass of houses along the riverbank shattering into countless pieces!

At this moment, at the mouth of Qiantang Bay, the seawater is split into yellow earthy tones and light blue; on the flat surfaces of the sea to either side stand two women of enchanting beauty and devastating grace.

Even more astonishing, the meeting point of the two colored waters was empty, with a two-meter-wide gap between them, looking down from above, one could directly see the sand and mud at the seabed!

Upon the flat surface of the yellow sea stood Zhao’er, her face calm and composed, and a dozen meters opposite her was the Empress, her expression one of terrified shock.

If one were to list the most astonishing three events the Empress had encountered from birth to the present, this moment of discovering Zhao’er’s true strength would be among them.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Zhao’er."

Zhao’er tilted her head, suddenly looking at the Empress with a silly, adorable demeanor.
