Everyone assumed that Quan Ji was simply too young, or that the Holy Glory Empire had been so weak that there was no hope of ever seeing the Sky Conference, and that she genuinely didn't know the rules of the Sky Conference.

Maple Leaf Empire's ruler, Feng Wei, scoffed, "Is that all? As expected of an ignorant little country. Well then, let me mercifully tell you: if you don't give us some benefits at the Sky Conference, why should we agree to your Holy Glory Empire's promotion to Level Four? Adding another competitive force to a Level Four empire is not a good thing for us."

Quan Ji slightly curled her lips. She still remembered this person; the one who had mocked her from the very beginning.

Is her Holy Empire an ignorant little country?

If he says yes, then that's it?

Quan Ji's voice was cold and indifferent, with a slight rise in tone: "So, you mean you want to squeeze some benefits out of my Holy Glory Empire?"

The other participants in the empire remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

Feng Wei, the ruler of the Maple Leaf Empire, was already annoyed by Quan Ji's previous threats and was not afraid of offending her. Once the Holy Glory Empire advanced to level four, he would be the first to attack, letting this arrogant little girl know that even a top-tier level four empire is not to be trifled with!

He sneered, "Exactly!"

Quan Ji turned her beautiful eyes thoughtfully and chuckled softly.

"So, what if I say no?"

Feng Wei also said casually with a hint of mockery, "Then we'll have no choice but to vote against it."

The representatives of the other empires all had solemn expressions, but remained silent. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The Holy Glory Empire's ability to advance so quickly must have some secrets, and besides... the Holy Glory Empire also has the Star Abyss Empire as its backer.

Jun Linjian seemed quite satisfied with Quan Ji, his prospective daughter-in-law, but he was always unpredictable, and no one knew what he really meant.

They weren't fools like Feng Wei, who would recklessly provoke a powerful force.

Quan Ji looked at Feng Wei, her eyes gleaming with golden light: "Do you want to vote against it?"

Feng Wei crossed his arms and said, “Of course! Your tiny Holy Glory Empire doesn’t even pay tribute to us powerful predecessors, yet you still want to advance? That’s just wishful thinking, too arrogant for your youth!”

Quan Ji remained expressionless, and interestingly repeated a few words: "A tiny Holy Glory Empire?"

Feng Wei immediately frowned, his gaze fixed on Quan Ji.

"I'm telling you... don't waste your time. You think you can advance to level four without enough strength? Dream on!"

Quan Ji let out a long "Oh" as if she had gained some insight, and then her whole body turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"So... all you need is enough strength?"

The voice echoed in everyone's ears, but no one could catch a glimpse of Quan Ji.

When Quan Ji was spotted again, she appeared behind Feng Wei's seat with a relaxed expression, holding a beautiful starry umbrella in her hand, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

That umbrella seemed capable of piercing Feng Wei's skull with the slightest movement from Quan Ji.

Instant teleportation?!

Everyone's expression hardened, and they tensed up.

In that instant, Feng Wei could even feel the overwhelming sense of impending death pressing down on him.

A sense of impending death?

What a joke—he is at least a half-step god, the ruler of a country, there's no way Quan Ji would dare to kill him!

However, at that moment, Quan Ji's cold voice passed through his ear.

"King of Maple Leaf Kingdom? I'd like to know... whether you're faster at casting your dissenting vote, or faster at piercing your skull with my umbrella?!"
