Those ministers who were secretly hostile to the Chu family felt powerless at this moment. It was not that they would not seize the opportunity, but that Chu Tianxiao was too abnormal!
And if they knew that they were overthinking this time, and that Chu Tianxiao... had simply sent a 'congratulatory gift' rather than a 'betrothal gift'... then, I wonder how they would feel
Yes.
Everyone was wrong.
This is not a method at all.
This was just a sincere gift given by Chu Tianxiao out of a complex mixture of emotions such as guilt, reluctance, and unwillingness.
Precisely because it is not a means, there is absolutely no solution.
"Spread this news to the Gate of Life and Death. Xiao Mei'er will definitely be interested... Oh, this little prodigal, really..." Emperor Zhou shook his head and gave an order. Then, he looked at the people in the room and said leisurely, "Do you have any objections?"
After this voice fell, there was silence, and then there were responses one after another...
"Your Majesty is wise..."
…
…
The Gate of Life and Death is a forbidden place for trials that has been established since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only royal family members who have awakened their bloodline and are under the age of thirty can enter the trial.
Those trials were extremely difficult, and once you entered, even someone as strong as Emperor Zhou could not escape before the trial was completed...
Therefore, once you enter this door, you will either live or die.
The Gate of Life and Death got its name from this.
Because of this, even though the Great Zhou was founded on poverty and hardship, and taught its royal family to work hard and never slack off... there was no ancestral precept that stipulated that the royal family must enter the gate of life and death.
Over the past thousand years, only twelve people have entered this place, and in the past twenty years, only one young girl has entered this door...
She is the youngest daughter of the current Emperor Zhou, Princess Tianmei Lu Meir.
She entered this door and nothing else mattered.
Just for love.
…
A desolate lot, a cold wind, bright moonlight, and a pretty girl.
Under the starry sky, in the moonlight, her petite figure seemed so weak, so frail...
In the blink of an eye, her beautiful eyes focused, and the soft sword at her waist suddenly came out, with the sword joints separated inch by inch, stabbing forward like a flying snake!
There was a loud "bang" and a huge electric ball in front of him was pierced and shattered. The sword's edge was still sharp and it fell straight towards a big-mouthed beast in the distance!
hiss!
Before the electric arc in the mouth of the big-mouthed beast disappeared, it was pierced by the sword that fell from the sky, split in half, and then turned into black smoke and dissipated...
"The one hundred and third one."
Lu Meir defeated the beast with one move, sheathed her sword, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Then, she raised her head slightly and looked at the lonely full moon in the blurry sky above... A trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes.
There were strange phenomena inside the Gate of Life and Death, and the weather and seasons were different from those outside, so at this moment, Lu Meir didn't know how much time had passed outside. She only remembered that after insisting on entering this place, even threatening to die, her life was pitifully monotonous... She killed the beasts day and night, and then rushed back to the safe area before she was on the verge of overdrawing, rested for a while, and then continued to kill...
In other words, Lu Meir had a very hard time during this period.
But she was very relieved.
Not only was it because the training at the Gate of Life and Death really had a miraculous effect, allowing her to improve her cultivation very quickly, but more importantly... she was very satisfied with her "growth"...
A face that is getting closer to perfection, with a charming temperament... The bright moonlight gently sprinkles on her, her black hair is like a dream, and her dress is like fire... Her charming eyes are slightly revealing a charming look that can make people fall in love with her. Even the cold wind becomes affectionate when it passes by her, just gently blowing the corners of her clothes, adding a touch of tenderness...
If Lu Meir was just a slightly cute little girl before, then now she is a truly charming loli!
Except for her height which has not changed much, her "other aspects" have improved by more than one level!
Now, she is absolutely qualified to compete for the beauty list!
Lu Meir naturally felt happy about this, but deep down, she still had a trace of regret...
"When can I let Brother Tianxiao see me like this?"
Although such thoughts are incompatible with the trials of life and death, they are the spiritual pillar that supports Lu Meir all the way to this point.
At that moment, just as Lu Meir was thinking of her lover in the moonlight, a loud roar suddenly came from a distance!
"This is... not good!"
Lu Meir's eyebrows furrowed, and she turned around and ran away. It wasn't like she had just entered the Gate of Life and Death, and she had already accumulated enough experience to deal with various emergencies... And now this roar should be a very powerful "monster" coming out... Usually at this time, as long as you run far away, you won't be attacked by the "monster"... As for fighting? That's impossible, because no one can defeat a "monster" of that level under the age limit of entering the Gate of Life and Death...
If you get too close, you'll be dead!
So at that moment, Lu Meir did not hesitate, she circulated all her true energy and ran desperately towards a safe area... But at this moment, a high mountain behind her suddenly shook violently, and streams of black air flew out from the other side of the mountain, continuously spreading and condensing into a huge black ball of light in mid-air!
As soon as the black ball appeared, there were continuous thunder in the sky and strong winds all around!
A pair of huge bloody red eyes appeared behind the black ball, and an extremely terrifying force oppressed the entire audience!
Lu Meir felt as if a thorn was on her back, as if she had been targeted by her opponent. For a moment, her heartbeat was almost stopped... She had no choice but to grit her teeth and try her best to escape...
But, for some reason, the owner of the bloody red eyes had no intention of letting her go...
In the next moment, the black ball of light moved suddenly, and it pressed down towards Lu Meir like a mountain!
A strong sense of oppression and the breath of death immediately swept over her heart...
This is a force that she cannot resist at all!
If there was a strong person in the Soul Awakening Realm here, he might be able to contend with this thing. But although Lu Meir has made a lot of progress, how could she possibly reach that level in such a short time
She is now only at the lower level of Tongxuan and has just completed the Nine-Element Marrow Cleansing.
Therefore, just wait for the black ball to fall, and Lu Meir will be dead without a burial place!
But even if she knew this, what could she do when faced with this level of power
"I can't run away..."
Although she knew death was approaching, Lu Meir strangely did not feel too much fear. Instead, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
She was unwilling to accept it.
Obviously, my cultivation has improved, my face has become prettier, my figure has become better, my temperament has become more charming... But unfortunately, I will never have the chance to let the person I love see it...
