Mo Wusheng still had his eyes closed and remained silent, as if he was asleep.
Ao Beiming didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
Leng Guanxing said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Then, Ling Jiuyou's eyes flashed, and he finally said: "Your Majesty, exploring the mineral veins is not an easy task. We cannot send Ye Chen alone. We should send two more royal geniuses to go together. That would be safer."
The Empress nodded and said, "What Frost Soul Heavenly King said is correct. The selection of the remaining two people will be left to you and Black Crystal Heavenly King to decide."
"yes."
Ling Jiuyou and Leng Guanxing finally reached a consensus and agreed in unison.
"If there is nothing else, the court is dismissed!"
With a wave of the empress's hand, the other three kings, except Ao Beiming, bowed slightly and left together.
"Heavenly King Hanchi, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Seeing this, the empress asked calmly.
Frost Dragon Heavenly King Ao Beiming chuckled and immediately said, "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, it's time to put the selection of a husband on the agenda. This way, you can continue to have children and ensure the continuity of the royal bloodline..."
The empress frowned slightly. Although she had expected this, she still felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing the former's words.
"I have just ascended the throne and am too busy with state affairs to attend to other matters. Let's discuss this matter later."
Having said that, the empress was about to leave.
However, Ao Beiming did not want to give up and said directly: "My eldest grandson Ao Li is handsome and talented, and he is about the same age as Your Majesty. We are a perfect match made in heaven.
If Your Majesty can marry my grandson Ao Li forever, not only will Ao Li be able to help Your Majesty share the affairs of state, but I and the entire Ao clan will also strongly support Your Majesty, and our Xuanbing Divine Kingdom will surely become more prosperous! "
The empress paused at this, her pretty face slightly turned, her narrow, long phoenix eyes glancing at Ao Beiming as she said indifferently, "If I don't agree to this marriage, does that mean you, Heavenly King Hanchi, and the Ao clan will have to continue to deal with state affairs in the same perfunctory manner as today?"
Ao Beiming's face darkened slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that a little girl could be so sharp in her words.
Although his expression gradually became indifferent, he said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. No matter what, I and the Ao Clan will always be your right-hand men!"
"That's good, remember what you said today!"
After the empress finished speaking, she threw away her Ice Phoenix court robes and disappeared.
Looking in the direction where the empress disappeared, Ao Beiming sneered with a gloomy look and said to himself, "No hurry... I'm waiting for the day when you beg me to be my grandson's wife!"
…
The main branch of the Ling clan.
In an extremely cold mountain stream in the back mountain, a figure was sitting cross-legged.
The figure just sat there quietly, with the thin sunlight shining on his body through the narrow gap above, giving people an indescribable weird feeling.
If you look closely, you will suddenly realize that the strangeness comes from the ground around the man.
There was not even a trace of a man there!
At this moment, an old man wearing the clothes of an elder of the main line of the Ling clan slowly appeared in this space.
The old man's face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper. He looked at the motionless figure in front of him and said calmly, "Ling Shuangying, the family has an important task for you."
After a moment of silence, the old man didn't wait for the other party to speak, so he frowned and asked again: "Ling Shuangying, did you hear that?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a man's hoarse voice coming from not far behind him:
"Of course I heard it, Third Elder."
The third elder turned around upon hearing this and saw that the person behind him was not a person, but a shadow.
He seemed familiar with this and could not help but solemnly instruct, "This is a mission personally assigned by the Heavenly King. You must complete it conscientiously!"
"What mission is it? Tell me." Upon hearing that it was a mission assigned by the King himself, Ling Shuangying's voice was filled with excitement, as if she was ready to take action immediately.
"This time the mission is to detect mineral veins." said the third elder.
"Detecting mineral veins?"
Ling Shuangying couldn't help but wonder, "Do I really need to personally take on such a low-level task as detecting mineral veins? Can't I just hand it over to the guys in the branch?"
Mineral veins are also divided into levels, but generally, veins below level three are left to cultivators below the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm to explore.
Every resource vein has at least one guardian beast around it. For low-level veins, the guardian beasts are not very powerful.
"Shuangying, I must emphasize again that this is a mission personally assigned by the Heavenly King. And it's not just about detecting a mineral vein. The most important thing is to solve a problem..."
"Kill who?"
Ling Shuangying immediately understood what he meant, "Which clan's direct descendant genius is this time?"
"The man you're asked to kill this time is named Ye Chen. He will team up with you to explore the mineral veins together. Remember to find a suitable time to kill him without anyone noticing. Don't let anyone find out!"
"Ye Chen?"
Ling Shuangying frowned slightly and asked, "Who is Ye Chen? Why haven't I heard of him?"
"You don't need to understand this. You just need to remember one thing. When you return to the royal city again, neither I nor the King of Heaven want to see Ye Chen again." The third elder said seriously.
"I understand."
Ling Shuangying nodded heavily, "Don't worry, he will never come back to the royal city!"
The Third Elder warned again, "You must be extra careful. This boy's strength is no less than that of the royal family's children. Some time ago, Fan Wujin of the Blazing Sun Divine Nation died at his hands."
