Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Her heart was pounding in her chest, as if it had lost its normal rhythm. But the sensation came on suddenly and vanished just as quickly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
In just a moment, the feeling was gone.
She stood there in a daze, pressing her hand to her chest as she felt her heartbeat gradually return to normal.
"What are you doing?" The Azure Emperor happened to open the door and step out. Seeing her standing at the doorway, one hand pressed against her chest, staring blankly, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Master, my heart was beating very fast just now. I had a really bad feeling, but it disappeared after just a moment." Yue’er spoke honestly, unable to figure out what had happened herself.
Hearing this, the Azure Emperor glanced at her and said gently, "As long as you stay by my side and don’t wander off, you don’t need to worry about anything happening."
"Oh." She replied, and seeing him come out, added, "Master, I was just about to ask—what would you like to eat tonight?"
"You decide." The Azure Emperor said, walking with his hands behind his back to a table by the window on the second floor and sitting down.
Yue’er followed him over and sat down beside him. As she poured him a cup of tea, she said, "Master, are the people of the Rakshasa Hall all that formidable? Shen Shiqi is considered quite strong, yet I never expected him to be injured so badly. It’s a good thing they ran into you today; otherwise, they really would have died by those people’s swords."
"The Rakshasa Hall is considered formidable in the eyes of most cultivators, but in the eyes of your master and your parents, they are nothing to speak of," said the Azure Emperor, lifting his teacup and taking a sip.
The two sat there, chatting casually while watching the street scene outside. As night fell, Yue’er called Shen Shiqi over to join them for dinner. After the meal, they sat for a while before retiring to their respective rooms to rest.
The next day, since Shen Shiqi and his group happened to be traveling the same route, at Yun Qi’s insistence, the Azure Emperor agreed to take them along.
Once aboard the airship, their speed increased significantly, and they made almost no stops. However, as they neared the town where the Shen family’s Patriarch’s residence was located, Yue’er—who had been in high spirits all day—suddenly fell silent.
She sat quietly, saying nothing. The others on board were resting with their eyes closed. Shen Shiqi, sensing that something was wrong with her, stared at her. Seeing that she seemed to be holding something back, he asked with concern, "Yun Qi, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The Azure Emperor, who had been resting with his eyes closed at the bow of the ship, opened his eyes upon hearing this and looked toward Yun Qi. Noticing that her complexion was alternately pale and flushed, and that her overall aura seemed off, he immediately swept his sleeve, causing the airship to descend.
The others quickly stepped aside. Watching as the Azure Emperor stepped forward to take her pulse, they couldn’t help but feel tense as well. Although the other members of the Shen family weren’t very familiar with the Azure Emperor or Yun Qi, they had grown fond of this cheerful and mischievous young girl along the way. Seeing her in such a poor state now, they couldn’t help but worry for her too.
After checking her pulse, the Azure Emperor furrowed his brow slightly. He immediately condensed a pure stream of spirit energy, forming a seal that he pressed into the center of her forehead.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
At that moment, a dark cloud suddenly formed in the sky. Lightning flashed through it, crackling loudly, followed by a muffled rumble of thunder within the clouds, carrying a faint yet formidable force.
The Azure Emperor looked up abruptly, his expression changing. "Oh no!"
