When snow turns into rime, and rime turns into ice, may our wishes come true—
Xiao Linzi was surprised to feel the warmth in the winter. He opened his eyes to the gentle sunlight streaming into his room, making it feel cozy.
She sat up and opened the window, but before she could even breathe in the morning air, she froze on the spot, "This, this is..."
Outside the window, the ancient tree, thousands of years old, has turned into icicles, resembling a giant umbrella.
Countless red ribbons hang from these ancient trees, fluttering in the wind, creating the most beautiful scenery on this snow-capped mountain!
Just as Xiao Linzi was staring at the spot with curiosity, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.
Gu Liyan, dressed in pristine white, sat cross-legged, and with each breath, the surrounding air seemed to become even purer.
"This guy..." Xiao Linzi frowned slightly as he sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the world.
After a moment, when the surrounding air was extremely pure, Gu Liyan suddenly opened his eyes, made a hand seal, and imprinted it on the ancient tree. Instantly, spiritual energy from thousands of miles away gathered here.
"I never expected that the first use of the Nine Dust Gathering Fate Array would actually be successful!" Gu Liyan's face was pale, and he was obviously exhausted, but he couldn't help but get excited.
The Nine Dust Gathering Fate Array is a prerequisite for cultivating the Nine Dust Technique. Because this array is found all over Thousand Absolute Mountain, Gu Liyan had never used it before. Unexpectedly, he successfully used it for the first time in this world without any effort!
Gu Liyan placed his hand on the ancient tree and smiled gently, "From now on, you are the Tree of Fate. Listen carefully to the voice of your beloved!"
Splash—
As if it understood, the colorful ribbons on the tree fluttered without wind, accompanied by the sound of bells.
Xiao Linzi stared out the window in shock. "Gu Liyan, that guy, is simply... simply unbelievable!"
Who knows what other incredible abilities he possesses? You must know, Yuan Yuan Jiu Chen has nine ultimate skills! And this formation is just one of them!
And so, the legend of the Thousand-Year-Old Tree of Fate spread to the ends of the earth.
As more and more people came to visit, Gu Liyan's Nine Dust Technique grew stronger, and the Soul Burning Curse within his body was suppressed by his increasingly powerful abilities.
What Gu Liyan didn't know was that a war of wills was unfolding within the court and among the people.
——
Looking at herself in the mirror, Mu Qing couldn't help but sigh. "Indeed, all emperors in the world are like this. Since Di Xin returned to the palace, he hasn't even sought me out again to avoid suspicion. It seems I'd better leave. Once I've cultivated properly, I can avenge Brother Gu!"
Lost in thought, Mu Qing stood up and prepared to leave without taking anything with her.
But before she could even step out, a maidservant led a group of people in. Seeing Mu Qing about to leave, she couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, where is Consort Qing going?"
Mu Qing frowned and looked at the group. "Are you Yang Guifei's subordinates? What brings you here today?"
Mu Qing clearly remembered that Yang Guifei was followed by a group of maids, while there was no one behind her!
"Consort Yang said that Consort Qing's quarters are short-handed, so she sent us to take care of her." Mu Lian smiled as she looked Mu Qing up and down.
Her long, bright red dress accentuated her alluring figure, and her stunning beauty made everyone else pale in comparison.
"Consort Qing is truly beautiful and charming. Even without any fancy decorations, she still retains her elegance."
Mu Qing raised her head. How could the beauty of the fox clan be inherited by humans?
Mu Qing said smugly, "What's your name? I'll put in a good word for you with Yang Guifei."
"Hehe, this servant Mulian, there's no need for kind words, I just hope that Lady Qing won't hold a grudge," Mulian said with a cold laugh.
"Hold a grudge? What do you mean?" Mu Qing frowned slightly, becoming somewhat uneasy.
"Someone come here!" Mu Lian raised an eyebrow and clapped her hands.
A bowl of hot soup was served, and Mu Qing looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Consort Qing, this is a gift from Consort Yang. Please accept it..." As she spoke, Mu Lian's expression suddenly changed, and she picked up a handful of boiling soup and splashed it on Mu Qing's face.
"Ah—" Mu Qing exclaimed in surprise, her face turning bright red in an instant.
"Hehe, Consort Qing, there are still some side dishes here. Remember to eat them too!" Mu Lian waved her hand, and a group of people behind her turned the wooden bucket upside down on the ground.
It was a dense swarm of snakes, constantly biting at Mu Qing.
"Ahhh—" Mu Qing collapsed to the ground in agony, screaming repeatedly.
Everyone retreated immediately. Mu Lian waved her hand and said, "If you want to compete with Yang Guifei for the emperor's favor, you're a hundred years too early! Let's go!"
Mu Qing watched the departing crowd with a chillingly cold gaze. She raised her hand and used flames to burn the poisonous snakes on the ground to ashes. Wiping the water from her face, Mu Qing coldly said, "Di Xin, you dare to betray me, I will make you taste what it's like to lose everything!"
Flames engulfed the entire palace. Mu Qing knew that, apart from that person, she had never loved anyone else from beginning to end!
Turning away from Chaoge, his burning eyes blazed with hatred. "Wait! I'll be back! I'll take everything that belongs to you with my own hands!"
Di Xin sat in his study, his mind uneasy. Before he had even become king, he was already troubled by matters in the harem. Since rescuing Mu Qing, he had not visited her even once, only making her a concubine and entrusting everything to Consort Yang.
The messages from his spies were all about Yang Guifei's revenge, and he began to worry that Yang Guifei would target Mu Qing.
"Something terrible has happened, Your Highness!"
"What's with this flustered behavior!" Di Xin frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
