Chapter 1714 - 1023: Twin Queens

The spicy lady of Golden Shine, Han Xun, heard the words and looked at the man opposite her.

Her gaze was unusually cold and mocking.

"Bai Mang, if we weren’t in the same academy, you’d definitely lose miserably at my hands."

Bai Mang squinted his eyes, seemingly amused. "Oh?"

"Always viewing women as only capable of fighting other women, inherently looking down on them. Because of such stupidity, Ice Gleam’s master is Ice Venerable, and Dragon Maiden Yin Li is currently the most powerful imperial bloodline, while Du Zhi can slay Cloud Ascendant even before reaching its stage..."

"Don’t underestimate women."

"Or you’ll die miserably."

Han Xun withdrew and left.

Bai Mang’s expression changed again and again.

——————

Sui Yi and Yi had just returned to the banquet platform and found almost everyone was already present, with only a few seats left, these seats...

"Here they come."

Someone shouted unknowingly.

In the distant sky, the lights flowed.....

It was the Qi Mechanism of Starfall.

Sui Yi finally saw Greedy Wolf Star, a tall man with an unremarkable face, but with deep-set eyes, he seemed like a sinister and ruthless lone wolf. However, this lone wolf was not cold, but rather defiant, sitting down and propping his long legs on the table, scanning the area nonchalantly.

Star Emperor Greedy Wolf Star, so brazen.

Starshine faction.

As soon as Greedy Wolf Star appeared, he polarized the Starshine members, with half being arrogant, the other half silent.

And when Ice Venerable arrived, the atmosphere became noticeably colder, not because Ice Venerable lacked popularity, on the contrary, this woman was quite popular, at least Sui Yi could see from the men and women’s gazes.... admiration?

Very little.

Mostly fear, extreme reverence mixed with fear.

After all, she had killed Starfall and seized the position of Ice Emperor, like Greedy Wolf Star, she was a fierce character.

Of course, also a peerless beauty.

After Ice Venerable arrived, she sat on the seat of the district governor set apart, crossing her legs, sipping tea, her gaze quickly swept past the provocative Greedy Wolf Star, then she saw...

"That person is..."

"Golden Emperor," Zhi Wen’s tone was somewhat wistful and emotional.

Golden Emperor?

Sui Yi looked at the man in a scholarly robe with a temperament as gentle as jade, sitting in a wheelchair, fingers long, lightly clutching a string of Buddha Beads, eyes elegant and calm. In terms of appearance and temperament, most present were far inferior to this person.

Unfortunately, that wheelchair....

Many focused on the wheelchair, but Sui Yi already moved past it, looking at the four clearly imposing people behind Golden Emperor.

Comparing to Greedy Wolf Star and Ice Venerable who came alone, without any Kings, Golden Shine appeared strange indeed.

All four Kings came along.

Logically, in such events, district governors attend out of courtesy, but all coming implies disregarding the safety of their administrative district, also serving as a subtle provocation to Purple Sky, akin to vassal kings having to consider central priorities when visiting the Nation’s capital.

Perhaps... the four Kings believe the Golden Emperor no longer represents Golden Shine?

Many grew increasingly sympathetic.

Yet the Golden Emperor himself seemed quite at ease, merely rotating the Buddha Beads, smiling gently.

The three major governors arrived.

The rulers of Purple Sky.....

The last stream of light fell.

Arranged facing East and West.

A dragon and an ape.

Celestial phenomena descended.

Then everyone saw the mighty and noble Dragon Guard, as well as the rugged and fierce Ape Connect Guard.

Sui Yi supported his chin with one hand, witnessing the Dragon Queen and Ape Queen at last.

Two sisters, the genes don’t lie.

Dragon Queen Li Qinglin was dignified and elegant, dressed in a silver-white embroidered gown, noble and graceful, her beauty was magnificent like a peony, her figure tall and posture supple, even in her seated posture, her brows and demeanor revealed the Dragon Family’s nobility.

Ape Queen Li Qingyun, on the other hand, possessed innate charm, with eyes longing as if enticing, each glance and smile exuded allure. Her attire was a striking red with gold patterns, which were not floral or other elegant designs but rather fierce and bold fox patterns, originally worn by wicked individuals, looked frightening, yet on her the slender waist was captivating, a mere glance could rally thousands.

The sisters had their unique qualities, in terms of beauty, the Twin Queens did not surpass the flawless features of Du Zhi, Seo Xinyan, and others, yet their aura and impact were far superior, beyond just age, as their status held significant sway; moreover, the Twin Beauties have always been the foremost beauties, their innate arrogance and presence were unmatched by other women, thus upon their entrance, it seemed they outshone the rest of the beauties here.

Aside from Mei Ji and Ice Venerable, these high-caliber Starfall powerhouses, all other women paled in comparison.

"This.... is the Twin Queens?"

Wen Ji, though a woman, was a Literati, always writing about passionate subjects, placing extra value on beauty, hence her persistent curiosity.

"You’ve been in Purple Sky all along, haven’t you seen them?"

Sui Yi asked curiously.

Wen Ji shook her head: "You don’t know, although the Twin Queens are renowned worldwide, ever since marrying the Twin Emperors, they seldom appear before people, but I know the Twin Queens are a peony and a rose, each captivating the world."

In Dragon Ape, the Twin Emperors are the foremost, holding the highest status.

The other three major governors are secondary, yet the Twin Queens are also on par with the three, moreover, as this is their domain, they naturally command respect.

After the Twin Queens arrived, the venue fell silent, Ice Venerable, Greedy Wolf Star, and Golden Emperor all turned their sights on these two.

"Sister, it’s been a long time, you are becoming more beautiful, it seems your husband has been doting on you plenty." Ape Queen’s brows carried a smile, enchanting and delightful.

However, this statement caused many to spew their tea.

Including the Literati Wen Ji and Zhi Wen.

Indeed, the Ape Queen’s words were quite... provocative!

Everyone instinctively looked at the exceptionally beautiful Dragon Queen.

Doting? Doting?

Well, Dragon Emperor.....

The Dragon Queen’s expression was faint, seemingly accustomed to the Ape Queen’s inappropriate talk, or perhaps, used to this person’s deliberate provocation.

She only scanned everyone with her eyes, causing all those probing to shiver.

"Today is the Transit Festival, a day of great celebration. The Twin Emperors have not arrived, so the Ape Queen and I will act as proxies, with the Twin Crown Princes performing the ceremonial texts."

Twin Crown Princes?

Someone looked at both sides, discovering no trace of the Twin Crown Princes....

However, at this moment.

The two arrays on the floor activated.

Two people appeared in line with two Ritual Masters.

Each carrying sacrificial scrolls in both hands, the two walked towards the sacrificial burning furnaces, chanting their ceremonies....

The Ape Crown Prince was alright, very tall and mighty, his face rugged and stern, quite fitting the manner of the Crown Prince of the Ape Faction.

The most shocking was the Dragon Crown Prince.

Almost everyone instinctively focused on this Dragon Crown Prince.

"That... Crown Prince?"

"In this world, such a... man exists."

Wen Ji murmured in a daze.

Sui Yi inadvertently frowned.

This Dragon Crown Prince, Yin Jiao’s face was as fair as milk, his features supremely handsome, even more delicate and feminine than a woman. His eyes were like bright moons, unbelievably beautiful yet dignified and intimidating. In terms of appearance, if he were female, he would be even more beautiful than his mother, yet he is male.

A man like this is practically a demon.

Such a demon, yet he is the Crown Prince.

No matter if they were from different factions or neutral, people were muttering inside their minds — how could he be a man? If he were a woman, what unparalleled beauty would he possess?

However, Sui Yi had seen far too many extraordinarily beautiful people, regardless of gender, so she was indifferent to Jiao’s appearance, although she indeed recalled some people and some events just now....

The sacrificial rites soon concluded, the two Crown Princes threw the sacrificial text scrolls into the burning furnaces.

The flames consumed them.

The scrolls were destroyed.

The two Crown Princes returned to report.

The Ape Queen looked at Crown Prince Jiao, half-smiling: "Sister, Jiao is nothing like you.... nor like brother-in-law."

Annoying.

People from both factions were annoyed.

The Ape Queen’s words were truly venomous.

The Dragon Queen’s demeanor remained indifferent: "He is more beautiful than me."

"I don’t think so, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful."

A chuckle, you are more beautiful than me — one of the most common lies women tell throughout their lives.

Sui Yi’s fingers caressed, gazing at the Ape Queen. She somehow felt this Ape Queen was intentionally trying to provoke her sister, or perhaps.... tease.

Indeed, she thought the Ape Queen was teasing her own sister, maybe others could not sense it, but she had this intuition.

Could it be due to experience?

Thinking of this, Sui Yi felt a bit unnatural.

With the two Crown Princes reporting finished, the Dragon Queen gently raised her hand, "Begin."

Crown Princes Jiao and Jing Sha turned around, raising their hands.

"Commence."

"Commence."

The two shouted in unison.

Along the circular edge of the water stage, there were musicians, both male and female, their music drifting like celestial tunes, the combination of qin, flute, and xiao was exceptional.

Listening to this music made one feel refreshed and elated.

At this moment, in the center of the water stage, the lotus spun autonomously, the flowers were vibrant and inviting, the mist lingering around, slowly rising white fog, graceful silhouettes forming, exquisitely beautiful. These were all the Dancing Girls most adept at Seductive Tower, as they sang and danced, it was as if one was beholding elves....

Even Sui Yi watched devotedly, let alone others.

Soon, a shadow in the mist seemed to increase by one.

A tall and curvaceous woman, holding a copper mirror with sacrificial ceremonial significance, her skirt’s hem trailing and fluttering, her hair like silk, charming like a sprite.

Before seeing her face, just her dance captured eight out of ten people.

And far away on the riverside thousands of meters away, those unable to enter could only look eagerly, yet they could hear the music, each enraptured by it.

No one noticed two women leaning on the railings.

"The music gathers an air of greatness worthy of the Dragon Ape," the woman in blue muttered gently, seemingly praising yet not overtly enchanted.

"Rumored to be the most beautiful in the Seductive Tower..." The white-clad woman with a sword swept her gaze, glancing over many floating Void-breaking spectators.

Seeing their trance-like expressions, those Dancing Girls on the water stage were indeed captivating beauties.

"Do you think Teacher might be like these people?" The white-clad swordsman spoke softly.

The woman in blue turned back, smiling: "No."

"Are you so sure?"

The white-clad swordsman lightly placed her left hand on the railing post, her fingers delicate, her skin fair and tender, her fingertips pink, resting delicately on the limestone, tempting one to want to indulge.

Yet such a person was cold and reticent, not open to conversation.

Differing from the woman in blue who remained cold yet warm, always serene like an immortal.

"I trust Feixuan," the woman in blue said softly, causing Shi Feixuan’s fingers to slightly press against the post, "Qingxuan, you always know how to tease me."

"Perhaps you’ve been led astray by Teacher."
