"I?"
Qi Xi's pretty face was filled with a smile, and she gently squeezed Ye An's arm with her slender jade fingers, saying: "You are greedy and shameless, you... await execution."
Ye An turned his back on his guests, held her little hand firmly in his, and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to tell you who I like?"
Qi Xi snorted coldly and said, "Humph. I asked you to choose your own concubine, but I didn't ask you to choose me. Isn't that rude? What is that?"
"Wrong, wrong."
Ye An gently patted the back of her hand and said: "The word concubine used to mean the wives and concubines of the emperor and princes in the previous human dynasties. Your Majesty, do you want me to choose your woman?"
"ah?"
Qi Xi was slightly startled, and there was a moment of confusion in her proud and bright golden eyes, but she quickly reacted and pretended to be calm.
"You don't need to say this clearly. Do you think I don't know? Your... position as the Holy Son is almost similar to that of a prince."
Ye An smiled slightly.
After a moment, he put away his smile and said, "Stop talking so much, Your Majesty."
"Let me ask you, if I choose you, will I marry you or not?"
“…”
Qixi Liu frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and lowered his head slightly.
Ye An's back was turned to her, so he couldn't see her expression clearly for the time being, but as long as he thought about it, he could guess that her beautiful face must be on fire again at this moment.
"Marry..."
"But let's wait a few days. At the very least... let's settle tomorrow's matter and let's discuss it again. I won't care about other matters in the temple for the time being."
She smiled in relief and said calmly.
Ye An frowned slightly and said, "If you say something like this, don't set a flag."
"Fu, Fu... what?"
Qi Xi said doubtfully.
She had heard many strange words used by Ye An, but she still didn't understand the meaning of this word.
Ye An thought for a while and said: "In a certain book in my hometown, the flag has a bad meaning. The more you worry about something, the more likely it will happen."
"For example, a soldier on the battlefield just said, 'After this battle, I will go back to my hometown to get married,' and then the soldier died on the battlefield."
"..." Qi Xi's pretty face was cold, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly: "Isn't this just a crow's mouth?"
"Idiot, you are the one who is setting the flag."
Although her voice was soft and pleasant, it inevitably seemed awkward when she said the last word.
Qi Xi's delicate face suddenly became extremely serious, and he said softly: "But don't worry, Ye An."
"Um?"
"I have not been idle in the past two or three days. You don't have to worry about other things tomorrow. Just challenge Ji Huang. Leave the rest to me."
She said calmly, returning to her high and confident empress style again.
Although Qi Xi, as the empress, violated the law of heaven, even heaven did not dare to hurt her, and even continued to protect her as the empress in the human world.
With the current ability of Heavenly Dao, it will be difficult to train another temple emperor and Heavenly Dao executor in a short period of time.
"I feel relieved to hear His Majesty say this." Ye An said.
Qi Xi looked at him coldly and said resentfully: "You guy, you are so angry... What kind of tone is this? It sounds like I am doing something for you."
"Are you convinced?"
"Follow it, take it, take it."
Qi Xi raised his hand, flicked his forehead with his jade fingers, and said, "Okay, are you tired? Let's go and rest first."
Ye An hesitated for a moment and fell silent.
Seeing this reaction, Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "Why... if you don't speak, do you want me to coax you to sleep?"
"if you can-"
"No, at least we have to wait until the day after tomorrow. We must not lose any energy tonight."
“…”
Ye An didn't ask about what energy meant for the time being.
He changed the subject and said, "Not really. Your Majesty, can I... go into that place and rest for a night?"
"where?"
"The secret place where I went to fence with you before."
"oh… "
Qi Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and for some reason his nervous heart relaxed a little.
She said: "That is a place that only the executors of the Heavenly Way of the past can enter... I thought what were you talking about? Forget it, you can go there to rest if you want."
After the words fell, she waved her sleeves gently, and the golden light shone, wrapping Ye An's body.
"Don't be late tomorrow, get to Ji's house early, remember."
"Have a good night's rest. The environment there is really nice."
Qixi said softly.
Immediately, the scene in Ye An's sight changed rapidly.
…
He once again returned to the secret realm in the temple, where the sea stretched as far as the eye could see, with pilgrimage pillars standing on the sea surface and architectural trees on the sea islands towering into the clouds.
He did not rest, but raised his head and looked at the Jianmu tree.
The power of the stars entrenched in his body slowly emerged under the guidance of his consciousness, condensing into a cluster of fireballs in his hands.
This is similar to the most basic move in Reiki, which is equivalent to being able to master Reiki.
The power of the stars is a deconstructed divine power, which is essentially the same.
And at the moment when the black fireworks ignited in the palm of his hand, the Jianmu Tree seemed to have a weak reaction. Although it was very small, it was still noticed by Ye An at that moment.
"Sure enough..."
Ye An murmured: "The power of the stars needs the magic of building wood as a medium to deceive the way of heaven. This is the so-called... deconstructing the way of heaven."
"So-"
He called out the storage space to store the jade tube of divine power, and finally left some as a backup.
The reason why it was not returned to Qi Xi was because it was going to be used here.
…
The Ji family is located in the south of Zhongzhou, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is like a paradise on earth. In the past, it always seemed deserted and deserted.
But today is different, it seems lively.
The fact that Ji's eldest son issued a challenge to the Holy Son of the Temple has been known to everyone in the entire continent with the secret encouragement of the Ji family.
There were many curious people who wanted to come to the front door of the Ji Family Courtyard to see the battle unfold, but they were all restricted and stopped three miles away.
A letter of challenge was not considered an important matter. It was just a small quarrel between the younger generation and should not have caused such a big commotion.
But today, the master of the Sifang Palace, several heaven-level executioners and elders from the Zhongzhou Temple, and even the Temple Empress are here.
There is no other reason. A letter of challenge is just the trigger. Everyone who comes here has their own ulterior motives.
The source of the fuse was a certain craftsman who discovered that the current empress's divine power had weakened.
The current empress also has plans to catch the secret agent, so she will use her plan.
At this moment, Qi Xi was in the Ji family hall.
The atmosphere in the spacious hall was heavy. The seats were divided on both sides, and the surroundings were already full of people. There is only one in the middle. Empress Qi Xi sits quietly, holding her chin in her hand, her bright and proud golden eyes looking slightly sleepy.
