The curtain has finally come on.
That night, Quan Ji slept soundly and did not think about anything else.
The next day, a flag-changing ceremony will be held to demonstrate the power of the Holy Empire.
Quan Ji put on her new favorite—transparent flip-flops with fire crystal soles. When she wore them, it was as if her feet were on fire, which was absolutely stunning.
These are not ordinary flip-flops; they are extremely high-end and unaffordable for most people.
So stop complaining about flip-flops, they're not the cheap style you're thinking of.
Quan Ji also changed out of her casual clothes and battle robes and armor, instead wearing a dress that the best tailors in the Fire Yi Empire had rushed to make overnight.
The dress had a V-neck that revealed Quan Ji's swan-like white neck. Her delicate collarbones looked as if they had been drawn by the gods. Her exquisite face was adorned with a crystal veil from the Holy Empire, and golden light shimmered in her pupils. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
The dress has a full, voluminous design, and the red and white color scheme makes her skin appear exceptionally fair, making Quan Ji look like a fire goddess descended from heaven.
Unfortunately, this saintess was too aloof, making her seem distant, and one could only observe her from afar.
As she went out, Jun Chenlan happened to be guarding the door.
With just one glance, Jun Chenlan felt that he was amazed by Quan Ji's beauty.
His face flushed slightly, and after stammering for a long time, he could only manage to squeeze out three words: "Good...good morning...good morning."
Quan Ji found him particularly adorable.
She asked, "Is it pretty?"
Quan Ji's voice was always cold, and it was no exception this time, except... her tone was tinged with a playful quality, making it intriguing.
Jun Chenlan pursed her lips. "Beautiful."
He was honest, which is a quality a knight should have.
Quan Ji smiled and slowly extended her hand.
"My Marshal, give me your hand."
"I'm off to preside over the flag-changing ceremony."
Her voice was haughty, and she raised her swan-like neck, making her seem noble and elegant, the most dignified being in the world.
Jun Chenlan was so nervous that he couldn't speak. He quickly spread his hands and gave a knightly salute.
"It's my pleasure."
Quan Ji slowly placed her hand in Jun Chenlan's palm, and Jun Chenlan gripped it tightly with a slight force.
In that instant, he truly understood what it meant to be moved.
The two walked out of the room side by side, hand in hand.
Outside, just as dawn broke, the Holy Radiance Army and the Fire Archer Army each lined up in two columns, with countless Fire Archer residents behind them, leaving the middle section empty to form a breathtakingly long walkway.
"Good morning, young lady!"
May the gods be with you, may the holy light be with you!
This was a solemn ceremony, but Quan Ji remained unfazed and returned a slight nod to everyone in return.
They walked up the walkway, passing one person after another, their steps slow and graceful.
Some people are discussing:
"Young Miss looks so beautiful today... It's truly astonishing that such a divine beauty exists in the world."
"Yes...it's breathtakingly beautiful, I can't believe it's real."
"The young lady and Marshal Jun are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
"May the young lady protect us and not abandon us."
"I hope to be a citizen of the Holy Light with dignity in the future, and I hope to have enough to eat and wear."
"I just hope to live a good life, that's all..."
...
These were all the people's praises and prayers, and Princess Kwon heard them all.
She will keep it in mind and strive to be a qualified person in charge.
Finally, they arrived at the flagpole in the center of Fire Archer City.
Jun Chenlan stopped and looked at Quan Ji, revealing a gentle smile.
"Go forth and embrace the glory that is yours."
[P.S.: If you complain about flip-flops to me again, it just means you're poor and can't afford them (hmph)]
