Chapter 946 - 915: Who Is the Frog in the Well (Two Chapters in One)
Qin Heng!
This is Qin Heng's voice, without a doubt!
Song Ningran's delicate figure trembled slightly, and Xue Qinan and Qi Jia, standing beside her, could sense her emotional fluctuations, just as The Empress and Tang Emperor Li Zhengyang couldn't remain unaware.
Even Li Mingtang, the Prince, was perceptive, and many present turned their gaze towards Song Ningran.
Yet, no one felt there was anything amiss.
After all, everyone here understood that this princess was not from Taeming Xuanhao Sky, but rather brought from beyond the skies by The Empress as a Dragon Girl. She originally had her own Saint Emperor, her own world, and having been brought here, naturally wouldn't feel at ease.
However, even though everyone knew of this matter, no one spoke of it, and many in their eyes believed that a Dragon Girl of merely Saint Lord level coming to Taeming Xuanhao Sky was surely fortune accumulated over several lifetimes, and she should feel honored.
As for her former life and world, they considered them utterly insignificant when compared to coming to such a high-level universe as Taeming Xuanhao Sky, truly trivial and not worth mentioning.
Even if this Dragon Girl initially missed her homeland and was immersed in the past, with time, she would naturally forget her homeland from the low-level world upon realizing what life in Taeming Xuanhao Sky meant.
Hence, any emotions now were inconsequential.
Li Mingtang, as the involved party, cared even less. He hadn't even regarded Song Ningran as a person, considering The Empress had arranged a Dragon Girl for him to marry and procreate with. He had viewed the unfamiliar Song Ningran as merely a tool.
A tool to extract the True Dragon bloodline and birth the strongest physique, or perhaps, to Li Mingtang himself, he might even be a tool; it's just that he had a choice.
Xue Qinan and Qi Jia noticed so many eyes on them, and their spirits immediately tightened, trembling slightly, feeling somewhat tense.
Instinctively, they grasped Song Ningran's arm.
One month ago, they had been brought here alongside Song Ningran by The Empress. Initially, they had considered resisting and escaping, but upon understanding this world's situation, they completely abandoned hope and felt despair, becoming sensitive to external influences, resulting in their current reactions.
They were now identified as maids paired with Song Ningran, betrothed to the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingtang. Beautiful and elegant, now appearing pitiful, immediately eliciting laughter from many guests and influential attendees.
"Hahaha, truly pitiful; the Third Prince is truly fortunate!"
"These two maids are already stunning; that Dragon Girl must really be as the rumors say, like a Heavenly Immortal descended to Earth!"
"So delicate and small, it makes one unable to resist wanting to protect; Third Prince, you must cherish them well! Hahaha!"
Many were teasing; the Southern Tang's atmosphere was open, and on such celebratory occasions, even jesting wouldn't cause trouble, instead, it livened the mood.
"Empress, does this Dragon Girl come from the Central Heavenly Domain?" Tang Emperor Li Zhengyang transmitted telepathically to The Empress, saying, "Though it's already the End of Dharma Age there, recently, the paths have begun reviving; seizing people there recklessly is imprudent."
"Yes, Your Majesty's instruction is to be heeded. In the future, I will surely act with deliberation. This time was merely out of haste for Mingtang's wedding, hence took this rash course." The Empress smiled gently and gazed affectionately at Li Zhengyang, saying:
"However, later on, I must act once more, snatch another person from Taeming Xuanhao Sky to attend the wedding, so that Dragon Girl can completely abandon hope. What does Your Majesty think?"
"Are you going to bring close ones or perhaps a longtime admirer of this Dragon Girl from the Central Heavenly Domain?" Tang Emperor Li Zhengyang looked at The Empress with a half-smile, saying:
"It's up to you; now that the Central Heavenly Domain is just starting to revive, it's unlikely to stir any turmoil, just don't tarnish our royal lineage's face."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty." The Empress smiled lightly, saying, "I'll capture a person from the declining Central Heavenly Domain and let them experience this new and powerful world, thus educating the Barbarians and showcasing our Tang Dynasty's path of royal transformation."
"Precisely so." Li Zhengyang nodded slightly, saying, "Then proceed as you wish."
Meanwhile, Song Ningran had become utterly panicked, even though she was barely managing to appear composed on the surface, inwardly she was already a chaotic mess.
Qin Heng's sudden appearance was truly unexpected; this place is a full 140 billion light-years from Earth; how did he get here?
While Song Ningran felt moved, she was even more terrified and afraid, because in over a month, she had learned how formidable this "Tang Dynasty" was, the strength it possessed!
Although previously, Song Ningran had stood firm against The Empress, realistically she had long been in despair because, in her understanding, even if Qin Heng was thousands of times stronger, there was no way he could rescue her.
There are Deities, Saint Emperors, and Great Emperors here!
What could Qin Heng do, even if he matched Deities with his Saint Lord powers, what's the point?
Completely meaningless!
"Go away! Leave!" Song Ningran shouted in her heart; she dared not voice it, could only cry out within, hoping Qin Heng would leave here, leave this world!
