Madam Jing hastily pressed down her body in panic. “Daughter, daughter! Don’t fuss around like this anymore! If you do this, you’ll only be harming yourself in the end!”

“Mom! Mom! It hurts so much, it hurts!”

“Minmin, where does it hurt?”

“Mom, my whole body hurts. It hurts, it hurts!”

Madam Jing pressed down her body and soothed while wiping her tears, “Minmin, endure it for a bit longer. This soul-gathering bell is like this. After the soul-gathering is successful, you will not be able to recover completely at once. There needs to be a recuperating period! You must not throw another fit!”

Jing Minyao’s whole body spasmed, and her expression was contorted.

Chief Jing sighed at this. He turned around and had two maidservants come forward to help Madam Jing press down Jing Minyao’s limbs.

Jing Linyao couldn’t help but smile faintly upon hearing all of this. She then turned around to leave.

There was nothing else to eavesdrop on after this. It would naturally be the same dramatics as usual, with Madam Jing complaining about Princess Jing.

Jing Linyao curled her lips and leisurely played with her fingers as she slowly made her way back to her yurt.

If she could be toppled that easily with that woman’s pillow talk, she wouldn’t be Jing Linyao, the entire Jing Clan’s only Princess Jing!

Chief Jing’s expression was still foul when he walked out from his youngest daughter’s yurt.

He walked reticently for a distance with a sullen expression, with a elderly servant carrying a large brocade box following behind him.

“Jing Gu.”

“This humble one is present.”

“You have to keep watch over the soul-gathering bell. There is only one chance left for it to gather a soul.” It would be a lie if Chief Jing’s heart did not ache over having to use one of the soul-gathering bell’s chances for his youngest daughter for no reason.

“Yes, Chief.”

“Also, dispatch people to thoroughly investigate the background of that Divine Province’s crown prince consort.”

How could a lowly ant from the Lower Star Domain kill his daughter Minmin?

“Yes!”

Chief Jing sneered. “The Divine Province’s crown prince consort? It is certain that the emperor will not acknowledge a woman from the Lower Star Domain. Ha, the Divine Province’s crown prince truly is a willful person to actually have married in the Lower Star Domain.”

If this news were to get back to the Divine Province, it would definitely shock the entire empire...

The next day during morning court, the Ultramarine Province Emperor jubilantly made an announcement to his officials.

The Fourth Highness of the Ultramarine Province had gotten chosen by the demon emperor’s inheritance when he entered the imperial ancestral temple. He was about to inherit the demon emperor’s bloodline and all its associated cultivation techniques.

Upon hearing this, the officials all beamed as they congratulated the emperor for having his wishes come true.

The Ultramarine Province Emperor laughed heartily.

Indeed, in the thousand years since the founding emperor inherited the demon emperor’s bloodline, all the subsequent generations of sovereigns expectantly longed for their posterity to be able to inherit the demon emperor’s bloodline. However, things turned out contrary to their wishes every time to no avail.

How could the Ultramarine Province Emperor not be delighted after having this wish come true?

“We plan to confer the title of the Chen Prince, and bestow the territory of Huachen south of the Ultramarine Province to him.”

“Your Majesty is wise.”

“Even though His Highness the Chen Prince is young, he will have a limitless future after inheriting the demon emperor’s bloodline. No matter if it be for the empire or the common people, Your Majesty’s action is praiseworthy! This official believes that His Highness the Chen Prince will certainly be an unparalleled talent that brings peace and stability to the empire.”

Rong Li walked up and prostrated while saying, “Imperial Father, since Fourth Brother is still in closed-door cultivation at present, please allow this son to take charge of his moving arrangements.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
