He murmured, “Mr. Dongfang, Yan’er is a woman, how could she have…dragon aura?” He had heard of dragon aura before, but it was something that only emperors or those about to ascend the throne possessed; all the emperors of the Scorpion Kingdom had been men.
Nie Feiyan was also extremely surprised and asked curiously, "What is dragon energy?"
Chu Nian: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and a true dragon naturally has dragon energy protecting him. You said the emperor is your father, so that must be the reason."
Nie Feiyan suddenly exclaimed "Oh!"
The Imperial Uncle's face changed color repeatedly upon hearing this: What does this mean? Could it be that the next emperor of the Scorpio Kingdom is actually a girl named Yan'er?
Ye Xiao didn't believe him and snorted, "You said you discovered that Fei Yan had dragon energy, so why did you hire martial arts people to assassinate her in the first place?"
Chu Nian sighed and said, "You don't understand, I did this entirely out of consideration for our brotherhood, and I couldn't bear to see you... cough!"
Ye Xiao demanded, "How so?"
Chu Nian: "I don't want to tell you the details. We don't have much of a relationship anymore." Then she turned to Nie Feiyan, "The Emperor must be very happy to have found you."
Nie Feiyan blushed with excitement and nodded emphatically again, saying, "Yes, Father is very happy and likes me very much. He dotes on me."
Chu Nian: "That must be it. Otherwise, how could a woman like you possess dragon energy?"
Nie Feiyan asked curiously, "Didn't you just say that I have dragon energy in my body because I inherited it from my father, the Emperor?"
Chu Nian said solemnly, "As I just said, the emperor is a true dragon, and a true dragon possesses dragon energy. Anyone who is not destined to be the emperor cannot possess dragon energy, even if he is the emperor's child. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Nie Feiyan understood her meaning a little, and said in disbelief, "Does the master mean... does he mean...?"
Chu Nian, with an indifferent expression, picked up her teacup and sipped her tea.
Suppressing her shock, Nie Feiyan said, "But I am a woman!"
Chu Nian: "There has been more than one empress in history!" Although the Scorpio Kingdom has not yet appeared, there have been many empresses in previous dynasties.
Nie Feiyan was a little frightened by the news. Her feelings were extremely complicated, and she buried her head, feeling somewhat at a loss.
The Imperial Uncle asked, "May I ask, Mr. Dongfang, your zither playing is unparalleled in the world, so how come you also have considerable knowledge of physiognomy?"
Chu Nian smiled faintly and said, "This is not some kind of physiognomy technique; it's just something that anyone with the third eye can see."
"The Heavenly Eye has been opened?" The Imperial Uncle looked at Jiang Bai and Lou Qianzong with doubt. Seeing that the two saints of Xuan Yuan were drinking tea calmly and did not raise any objections to the Heavenly Eye, he guessed that only reclusive masters like them could open the Heavenly Eye. He, a mere mortal, could not see any dragon aura.
Ye Xiao interrupted again, saying, "You've grown up in my Night King's Mansion since you were little, so as your older brother, I know your abilities best. What Heavenly Eye? You're really laughing..."
Chu Nian coldly interrupted him, saying, "Do you think my words are unreliable?"
Ye Xiao immediately fell silent. In his view, Nie Feiyan possessed various talents and had high Xuan Qi, so she was indeed no ordinary woman. Now that he knew she was born into the royal family and was the emperor's favorite princess, she might very well ascend the throne in the future—just as Ye Nian said, there have been quite a few female emperors in history!
Besides, although he and Nie Feiyan had some conflicts, their feelings for each other had not completely disappeared. They had been through so much together over such a long time, and no one could erase that.
He believed that if he begged Nie Feiyan for forgiveness a few more times, she would forgive him. Then the two would reconcile. Therefore, he still hoped that Nie Feiyan would possess "dragon energy." This would mean that he could effortlessly rise above everyone else in the future.
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Actually, Your Highness, you've long seen that Miss Nie is no ordinary woman, haven't you?"
Ye Xiao could only remain silent again: because Chu Nian was right, otherwise why would he, the dignified Night King, pursue a commoner woman?!
Nie Feiyan then turned to look at him and finally asked, "Prince Ye, did you already sense the dragon aura on me?"
Ye Xiao was startled and quickly said, "Feiyan, do you think I have that special ability? You overestimate me. I only met you for the first time, but I already felt that you were an extraordinary woman. Do you understand what I mean?" As he spoke, he became affectionate.
Seeing the deep affection in his eyes, which seemed genuine, Nie Feiyan gently hummed in agreement.
Ye Xiao pressed Chu Nian again: "I just don't understand, since you knew that Fei Yan possessed dragon energy, why did you still hire someone to kill her?"
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Since you insist on asking, then I will tell you! Those who possess dragon energy throughout history are all extraordinary; they must be the brightest stars in the heavens."
The brightest star makes the stars around it pale in comparison, and many are even extinguished. The series of life-or-death ordeals you experienced after meeting her clearly illustrate this point.
Furthermore, given her imperial aura, she is destined not to belong to just one person. For the sake of the empire, the prince's other half must also be carefully selected. In the future, the harem, including male empresses, male consorts, and male concubines, will naturally consist of three thousand beauties, just like other emperors.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao was so shocked that his mouth was agape, almost wide enough to fit an egg. It took him a long time to utter a single sentence: "You... what did you say?"
Nie Feiyan lowered her head even further: To be honest, although she considered herself not a promiscuous woman, it would be nice to have a bunch of beautiful men around her in the future, so she wouldn't have to watch Ye Xiao's mood all day long.
She didn't want anyone to see the barely suppressed smile on her face, so she kept her head down.
The imperial uncle listened with great interest, feeling that the little girl's future was going to be very exciting, let alone the little girl herself.
He felt that even if Nie Feiyan didn't become emperor, what was wrong with her keeping a few male lovers as a royal princess? As long as they were members of the royal family and didn't do anything immoral, they could do such things as they pleased!
Honestly, if Chu Nian knew what this royal uncle was thinking, she would have to give him a thumbs up. You see, the Xuanwei Continent is still in the feudal dynasty era, and the thinking is not enlightened. They especially value the separation of men and women. Moreover, since most of those who cultivate Xuan Qi are male, they are really sexist.
Ye Xiao's face changed color several times in succession, first turning green, then red, then purple, and finally black.
He could almost see a green patch covering his head.
After saying what she wanted to say, Chu Nian said, "Alright, it's getting late. You should all go back now. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."
