Damn it, isn't it tempting to commit a crime so early in the morning
Just as Ling was staring at this stunning face in a daze, a finger with slightly calloused skin reached out and stroked the unknown liquid at the corner of her mouth.
Embarrassing!
I'm drooling again.
Mou Ling smiled awkwardly and then jumped off the bed.
I had been guarding outside the palace during the day, and when I heard any noise inside, I knew that the king and queen had woken up.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up and go to the Apocalypse Palace."
"Well, wait a moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Golden light flew and enveloped the sky.
Eagles soar in the sky and morning bells ring.
In the Tianqi Palace, palace lanterns were hung high, people were surging, and it was extremely lively.
Outside the palace, there were crowds of people, playing drums and harps.
Today is an important day, a festive day, when the emperor and the people rejoice together and the whole world celebrates.
The venue for today's competition is set at the largest training ground in the palace.
In order to show that it was fair, just and open, a number of ordinary people were allowed in to watch.
Around the parade ground, seats corresponding to different statuses were set up according to different ranks.
However, the only thing that catches the eye is the purple-gold dragon throne located in the north.
It is luxuriously constructed and different from the seats of other kings.
According to the customs of Tianhe Continent, the north is the correct position, or the main position.
Generally speaking, this seat is where the host sits.
However, this one is indeed exclusive to Emperor Shi Tian.
The other kings sat in the remaining three positions. The closest to Emperor Shi Tian was Tian Qi on the left and Feng Guo on the right.
In short, it is still divided according to the size and strength of the country.
In ancient times, no matter which dynasty, the hierarchy was deeply rooted and could not be changed.
Visitors from various countries sparsely entered the competition venue and sat in their seats.
Some monarchs who have a good personal relationship with each other chat and exchange courtesies.
Even if no one says it, everyone understands the workings of the officialdom.
"The Emperor of Apocalypse has arrived!"
Suddenly, a sharp announcement was made, and everyone fell silent.
Although Tianqi is not the leading superpower, Emperor Tianqi is politically enlightened and advocates harmonious common development. He enjoys high prestige among the eight countries.
“Hahaha… I’m very pleased to see you all again.” A deep voice sounded, carrying a sense of vicissitudes of time, as if it had been refined through thousands of trials and tribulations, and it sounded very imposing.
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown on his head appeared in front of everyone.
He has a peaceful look on his face and judging by his age, he should be around fifty years old.
Beside him, a beautiful woman was supporting him.
She is wearing a phoenix robe, has a pretty face and sharp eyes. This is none other than the Empress of Tianqi - Feng Xueyan.
Feng Xueyan is one of the legendary women in Tianhe Continent.
She was gifted since childhood, and was a master in both literary and military skills. She was originally the princess of Feng Kingdom.
Later, in order to make Feng Kingdom stronger, she gave up her position as princess and the chance to become empress, and resolutely married Emperor Tianqi. She became a famous empress and used her as a bridge to establish a peaceful and mutually supportive relationship between the two countries.
If there were no Feng Xueyan, Feng Kingdom and Tianqi would definitely not be as prosperous as they are now.
"Meet Emperor Tianqi."
Everyone bowed and saluted, all with smiles on their faces.
This is how the officialdom works. Even if you don't agree with them in your heart, you have to pretend to be nice. This is simply hypocrisy.
"No need to be so polite, everyone. No need to be so polite."
Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, and everyone stood up and sat down.
Among the eight countries, seven kings have already gathered, leaving only King Tianze.
Although everyone didn't say anything, they probably had complaints in their hearts.
Some out of jealousy, some out of resentment.
However, no matter what kind of mentality it is, it only shows one thing.
Tianze is very strong.
Only those who stand at a high position have the capital to make others jealous.
Therefore, being able to make others jealous is also a kind of asset.
At this moment, the voice that everyone was thinking about finally rang out.
"King Tianze has arrived!"
Following this sound, everyone looked towards the east of the training ground where the sunlight was pouring in.
The person who came was shining with golden light, wearing a dragon robe embroidered with gold thread, with silver hair like silk, sword-like eyebrows, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes that flashed bright colors in the air, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and the whole face was full of sculptural feeling as if it was carved by a knife.
Beside him was a little girl dressed in golden palace dress.
Judging from the material of the clothes, it should be the same as the dragon robe of Emperor Shi Tian.
His eyebrows and eyes are as beautiful as paintings, and his skin is whiter than snow. He looks like a fairy child who just walked out of a painting, and he exudes spiritual energy all over his body.
"Greetings to King Tianze, long live the king!"
The ceremony this time was not bowing, but kneeling.
The three words "Emperor Killing Heaven" are the symbol of supremacy in heaven and the continent.
Even if they are resentful in their hearts, even if they are extremely unwilling, they have to kneel.
The winner takes it all, this has been a theorem since ancient times.
He took Ling'er by the hand and sat her on the dragon throne.
He waved his wide sleeves, "Stand up!"
Cold words, without any emotion, this was the characteristic of Emperor Shi Tian, and everyone had long been accustomed to it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The voice was so loud that it echoed through the sky.
After everyone sat down, Emperor Tianqi stood up immediately.
"Today is the day when all our countries gather together again. It is also the annual debate meeting of all nations. Tianqi is fortunate to be the match point of this competition. I am deeply honored. Regarding the rules of the competition, I believe everyone is clear. The two parties of the competition will be determined by drawing lots, and the winner will continue to the next round. As for the prizes..."
Having said this, Emperor Tianqi paused slightly, then clapped his hands, and two soldiers carried a tray more than one meter long and placed it in front of everyone.
It was covered with red silk, so it was impossible to tell what was placed on it.
Emperor Tianqi looked at Feng Xueyan meaningfully. Feng Xueyan nodded with a smile and then walked to the front of the tray.
A white hand stretched out and pulled gently, and treasures from eight countries appeared before the eyes.
"This is the Dragon Wood from Tianze Country!"
Feng Xueyan's voice, which was both strong and soft, rang out, and in an instant, the entire arena was boiling.
If for no other reason than the two words “dragon wood”.
The Dragon Tree has been revered as a sacred tree by the Tianze Kingdom for hundreds of years, protecting the prosperity of Tianze.
There are even rumors that Tianze will die if Longmu is destroyed.
In other words, in the hearts of the people and everyone in the world, Longmu is equivalent to the patron saint of Tianze and a symbol of the prosperity of Tianze. (To be continued)
