Although Emperor Mingxi was also flustered, he was, after all, the emperor of a country, and an emperor known for his decisiveness in killing, so he was able to remain calm.
Before he could speak, the Empress Dowager, concerned for her son's safety, disregarded the need to verify the truth, as that was a matter for the future; her son's safety was of paramount importance.
So she said, "Today is my birthday banquet, and I originally intended to celebrate with all my ministers and officials. It would be a special family banquet for our Great Yan Dynasty. So let's skip the formalities today!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone bowed in respect, and the officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Before everyone could catch their breath, the voice rang out again, "Master, please don't try it. Just bow as you did before."
If you had actually knelt down just now, those in the main seats wouldn't have fared well, and even the hundred or so people in front of you would have been affected.
"That can't be!"
[It's really too much. Mortals are nothing but ants, how can they be worthy of being worshipped by immortals? You came to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. If you kill so many mortals at once, you will also have to bear the karmic consequences.]
Master, let's keep a low profile and just live out this life peacefully as ordinary mortals!
Yue Fuguang seemed quite unconvinced and said, "Even if I did it, would the Heavenly Dao of this world dare to kill me?"
As she spoke, she looked up at the sky, wondering if this small world had developed a sense of the Dao.
[The little Heavenly Dao naturally wouldn't dare to do anything to its master, but we'd better avoid trouble.]
The deity sent you to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation so that you would observe more and speak and do less, otherwise, when we return to Lingxu Mountain...
"The Divine Lord may be reluctant to do anything to you, but I, your precious spiritual artifact, will suffer in your place. Master, please have pity on the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, okay?"
Yue Fuguang pretended to be convinced by him, and said impatiently, "Fine, I know. I won't take you out next time."
"How can you leave me behind? Even if I'm not with you, there will be other spirit servants protecting you. You are now a mortal, having lost your divine power and memories. How can you manage without our protection?"
What if our master gets bullied by some ignorant mortal? What will become of our dignity as immortals?!
Although the emperor and other officials, who had already sat down and started their banquet, appeared to be chatting, a closer look would reveal that their minds were not on the conversation at all.
Those colleagues who could also hear the mysterious voice were fine; they covered for each other so they could hear the following conversation clearly.
But those adults sitting next to them who couldn't hear the mysterious voice were in trouble.
Often, when chatting with colleagues, the other person will suddenly become silent, their ears perked up, their eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought, clearly not paying attention to what they are saying.
Some people with bad tempers will simply turn their sleeves and sit back in their seats, refusing to pay any more attention to the other person.
These people were also helpless; the content of the conversation was too shocking for them to be distracted.
Humans are nothing but ants!
Although they had always known that this was how the gods viewed mortals, hearing it now still sounded extremely jarring!
Especially those in high positions of power, their fists are hardened!
However, upon hearing the next words from the artifact that claimed to be the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, their newly risen anger and a trace of killing intent were shattered.
My back was even covered in cold sweat from the lingering fear, and a chill ran through me.
Having been in high positions for too long, they seem to have lost their reverence for heaven and earth because of the power they hold.
It's truly unacceptable that a few words could provoke their anger and murderous intent!
Even the Heavenly Dao doesn't dare to do anything to them, so what can Emperor Mingxi, who has recognized the Heavenly Dao as his father, and his officials do?
Moreover, they have divine artifacts protecting them. Although they don't completely believe what they're saying, no one is foolish enough to jump out now and test the truth of their words.
Isn't it good to be alive? Is it because you don't have enough power, or your concubines aren't beautiful enough, that you're in such a hurry to be reborn!
The good news is that they don't want to get involved in bad karma for no reason. As long as they don't provoke them, the other party shouldn't easily attack mortals.
So now the question is, putting aside the artifact that claims to be the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, who exactly is the 'master' among the daughters of the officials?
They couldn't wait to find the person right now, lest they accidentally bump into them and cause trouble for their family.
Judging from the conversation, that person wasn't someone easy to get along with.
"You make it sound so nice, but I've been here for almost three years, and it hasn't been easy. Is this how you protect me?"
【Oh dear, Master, I just got lost in these three thousand minor worlds and am a little late! Please, don't be angry with Little Pearl!】
The way he spoke, using a fawning and obsequious tone, was as obsequious as could be.
How come some people even see their own reflection in the artifact?!
Then it changed the subject, saying, "Master's soul is too powerful. Even though his memories have been completely sealed by the God-King, it is still beyond the capacity of a mere mortal body to withstand."
For the first three years, the master's soul needed to merge with this mortal body. Even with good things, your body couldn't withstand it.
Hearing this, Yue Fuguang seemed to have thought of something and said, "For the past few years, you've been stopping me from dealing with that family. The three-year period has passed; isn't it time to vent your anger for the little girl?"
【Master, Little Pearl stopped you because she hoped her biological parents could avenge their child. Who knew that the little girl's biological parents were so heartless.】
Not only could he turn a blind eye to his own daughter suffering five years of hardship for a counterfeit product, but he could also raise that vicious family well for the sake of that counterfeit!
The system that calls itself Little Pearl is also caught up in acting. It doesn't even need to act; it just gets angrier and angrier as it talks. You can tell from its voice that the family is probably in big trouble.
Yue Fuguang was alright. He sighed and said, "Since I used her body, I owe her a debt of gratitude. I should repay this debt to the little girl and settle this karmic debt."
[It's because mortal bodies are too fragile to nurture a celestial being like the master. The little girl is lucky; even though she's dead and her soul is almost scattered.]
If she hadn't met her master, how could she have had a next life and been reborn into a good family? She would definitely have met good parents in her next life.
I've already made arrangements with the King of Hell as instructed by my master: the child will be given priority for reincarnation, and any good family will be willing to adopt the child so they can choose.
"The little girl hasn't had a single good day in the five years they've kept her, so they certainly don't deserve one either. You should deal with that family as soon as possible."
Didn't you want to swap someone else's child so your family could enjoy wealth and luxury? Go change the feng shui of their ancestral graves, and I'll make sure their every wish is thwarted for generations to come.
Remember to mark their souls; when Yama sees them in the underworld, he will send them to the animal realm to reincarnate several times first.
Yue Fuguang's words rang in everyone's ears, making them feel a chill run through their bodies, and many couldn't help but shiver.
