Chapter 1557: Kicking the Palace Door Open III
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A lady dressed in red entered from outside the door. The young maiden was a beauty that could bring a city to its knees. She was domineering and arrogant. The coldness in her brows left anyone who saw her feeling fearful.
However...
When those people saw the bump on her abdomen, they were stunned.
A pregnant lady?
A pregnant lady... dared to come to the imperial palace in an attempt to assassinate?
Oh, that was not right. She was not here to assassinate. She kicked the palace door open arrogantly!
“Who are you?”
The guards in the palace finally managed to react. They immediately drew their swords. However, looking at the beasts behind Feng Ruqing, they did not dare to approach her, yet they also did not dare to let these people take a step closer into the imperial palace.
“Ah Hua.”
Feng Ruqing’s cold gaze swept past this group of guards as she raised her brow. “Rush in.”
“Howl!”
The spirit beasts let out an angry battle cry and took advantage of the fact that the guards were stunned and rushed in.
Their bodies were very sturdy. With a light leap, they were able to press the guards beneath them, leaving them no time to fight back...

In the imperial court.
The civil and military courtiers stood silently.
Qi Fang sat on the dragon seat with his face cold and solemn, exuding a murderous aura.
“Your Majesty.”
A courtier asked hesitantly, “The princess, she... is she alright?”
These courtiers had forced Qi Fang to deal with Qi Yue back then.
If it were merely wounding Qi Yue, then it would be fine since he had done wrong after all. However, this was the fifth princess, Qi Qin’er, who had made her first offense.
Now, His Majesty was raging and wanting to investigate the matter. Even these old courtiers were caught in the fire of his rage.
“I have taken the Divine Spirit Fluid in the national treasury to sustain Qin’er’s life. There will be nothing wrong with her within this short period. However, if she doesn’t wake up during this period, I am afraid that she will return to the heavens.” Qi Fang sneered. “If Qin’er is in life-threatening danger, none of the people who had pushed me into the corners back then will be forgiven!”
These courtiers felt a panic in their hearts. However, compared to their inner turmoil, they were feeling more heartache about the Divine Spirit Fluid.
“Your Majesty, the Divine Spirit Fluid is the Tianling Kingdom’s treasury could bring back the dead! The fifth princess is precious, but she is still just a maiden. Sooner or later, she is to be married off. Furthermore... her cultivation is weak. This Divine Spirit Fluid should be left for more useful people.”
“Your Majesty, I know that love the princess, however... you should think about our Tianling Kingdom. You cannot do things as per your emotions.”
“We beg Your Majesty to keep the remaining Divine Spirit Fluid, don’t be so extravagant and wasteful.”
The reason why Tianling Kingdom had such a reputation was naturally due to this Divine Spirit Fluid.
Tianling Kingdom’s late emperor had been chased away by people back then. In times of danger, he had picked up a pot.
That was right.
A pot!
That pot was filled with cold soup.
Back then, the ancestral emperor was not only severely wounded. He was also starving very badly. Without caring too much, he drank the soup.
Who knew that this soup contained infinite spiritual force that not only helped the late emperor to recover and had even allowed the late emperor to successfully breakthrough.
As the soup contained spiritual force, and the fact that it was picked up from outside, the late emperor felt that it was a life-saving medicine that the heavens had bestowed upon him and had named it Divine Spirit Fluid before taking the whole pot away.
Tianling Kingdom thus obtained its name because of this soup. 1
This soup was inherited from that late emperor and had indeed saved many strong cultivators in Tianling Kingdom. However, after so many generations, there was not much Divine Spirit Fluid remaining even though it was drunk by the mouthful.
1- Tianling Kingdom comes from the origins Tianling Ye (Divine Spirit Fluid).
