Venerable Tianfeng's heart nearly leaped out of his chest when he saw Lin Feng about to speak again, and he quickly cut him off.
He felt a bit weary. If it weren't for Lin Feng, why would he humble himself like this? Yet, his disciple lacked even this basic understanding. He truly worried himself sick for his disciple.
Fortunately, Lin Feng still respected him greatly. Hearing his command, he obediently lowered his head and said nothing more, though the flames of jealousy still raged fiercely in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhao Li pulled Ye Yunsheng beside him, his expression solemn, and slowly said,
"Since Senior has put it this way, it would seem petty of me to keep pressing the matter. However, this disciple of Senior's has ideas about my wife, which makes things a bit difficult for me."
Ye Yunsheng noticed Zhao Li's different way of addressing her, and a hint of sweetness bloomed in her heart. A thought flashed through her mind.
Hearing the same sentence, Ye Yunsheng felt a touch of joy, but to Lin Feng, it was blatant boasting. He nearly exploded in rage, but was once again stopped by Venerable Tianfeng, who then repeatedly assured Zhao Li:
"Junior brother, rest assured. I will make sure my young disciple discards any improper thoughts he has and no longer bothers the two of you. Besides this, does Junior brother have any other requests?"
He was already prepared for a significant loss.
However, Zhao Li's gaze landed on Lin Feng. Looking at him, there was absolutely no sign that he intended to give up his ideas.
Zhao Li's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing within them. As if unintentionally, a wisp of orange-gold flame appeared on his fingertip, dancing like an elf. Zhao Li spoke:
"If Senior cannot control him, then I will have to do it myself. It's just that, at that time, I'm afraid I won't be as merciful as Senior..."
The moment the flame appeared, a chill rose in Venerable Tianfeng's heart. It was an instinctive reaction to sensing extreme danger.
That fire is very dangerous; it could easily erase me!
This was the only thought in his mind. It was clearly fire, yet he felt the tyranny and brilliance of thunder from it. Hearing Zhao Li's words, he nodded repeatedly, becoming even more respectful.
"Since that's the case, let's drop this matter then."
As Zhao Li's voice fell, Venerable Tianfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He dared not stay any longer and took his leave:
"Your Majesty, may you be well. We take our leave."
Seeing the two leave, Ye Yunsheng's heart stirred, and she said softly,
"Lin Feng, you have done a lot for Great Li over the past decade or so. I hope you will conduct yourself well."
Hearing Ye Yunsheng call his name, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, hope igniting in his heart. Soon after, he slumped down and silently followed behind Venerable Tianfeng.
In the Side Hall, only Zhao Li and Ye Yunsheng remained, in silent contemplation.
After a long while, Ye Yunsheng saw that Zhao Li had not withdrawn his gaze for a long time and quietly explained,
"Zhao Li, I didn't know he would suddenly do something like this."
Seeing this, Zhao Li lightly flicked her forehead and chuckled,
"What are you thinking with that little head of yours?"
He wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and was merely being pretentious.
Ye Yunsheng mumbled softly;
"Thinking about you calling me your wife."
Zhao Li was startled for a moment, remembering what had happened earlier. At the time, he was only focused on the matter at hand and didn't pay attention to such things. Instantly, he looked delighted, his eyebrows raised, and he grinned mischievously:
"Wife, there's no one likely to suddenly come looking for you now. How about we look into producing a Crown Prince?"
...
Night. Phoenix Grace Pavilion. In the vast room, naturally, only Zhao Li was there.
He had been dragged around doing work all day again, nearly blowing up in the Hall of Purity, and was then mercilessly chased back to the Phoenix Grace Pavilion.
Zhao Li thought of Ye Yunsheng's shy expression as she chased him away and couldn't help but smile.
Although what he said was half-sincere and half-joking, he wasn't in such a hurry. After all, he had waited over thirty years.
One reason was, of course, the matter of status. Besides that, there was another reason: he didn't understand Ye Yunsheng's Special Constitution, which caused her Cultivation Level to soar rapidly.
Based on his many years of reading novels, many Special Constitutions required a state of virginity. If he were to rush things and leave behind any hidden problems, he would regret it too late.
Before this, he had the desire but not the courage.
Three days passed leisurely, gone in a flash.
During these few days, Ye Yunsheng was busy with something and deliberately or unintentionally avoided Zhao Li. It wasn't until yesterday that she gave Zhao Li a Dragon Robe and told him to make sure to change into it.
On the morning of the third day, Zhao Li finished his cultivation and got up. Looking at the golden robe beside him, he ultimately followed his heart and put on the Dragon Robe.
When he opened the door, Ye Yunsheng was already waiting there.
Ye Yunsheng stood quietly in the faint light. Seeing Zhao Li, her eyes lit up:
"Excellent. Your presence and demeanor are not inferior to Ours at all."
Although Zhao Li usually didn't put on airs, he had been far ahead since he began cultivating and had even seen top-tier figures like Primordial Spirit Emperor and Hun Tiandi.
Especially Primordial Spirit Emperor had a significant influence on him. After all, he, with a remnant soul that had existed for who knows how many years, managed to display strength comparable to a Nine Star Dou Sheng with his Dou Sect body. Zhao Li intentionally imitated him, and a confidence that the world was within his grasp three inches away was ingrained in his bones.
Now, after changing into the Emperor's Robe Ye Yunsheng had prepared for him, he possessed even more of the Momentum of a Supreme Ruler. Even Ye Yunsheng felt a sense of novelty.
"I can't compare, I can't compare. It's all thanks to my wife. Let's go, it's about time."
Zhao Li smiled, offering a heavily exaggerated compliment.
Ye Yunsheng's eyes curved into crescents as she took Zhao Li's hand and walked towards the Golden Throne Hall.
Today, she was going to bring Zhao Li to the morning court and announce a major event.
Inside the Golden Throne Hall, the officials were already standing, along with a few princes and marquises on the side.
Ye Yunsheng and Zhao Li walked steadily, step by step, entering the sight of the assembled officials.
Then, one by one, they froze for a moment, clearly not understanding what was happening. Of course, there were also shrewd individuals who guessed that Great Li might be facing a major change.
Ye Yunsheng ignored the curious gazes of the crowd, still holding Zhao Li's hand, until they reached the front of the throne and ascended the steps.
Although everyone was puzzled, they just waited quietly for Ye Yunsheng to speak. Only these Capital Officials truly knew how terrifying their Majesty was.
Ye Yunsheng walked up to the Dragon Throne, which was much taller than her, and slowly turned around. Below, everyone bowed in unison, cupping their hands in greeting:
"May Your Majesty enjoy ten thousand years of peace!"
She disliked kneeling but could not dispense with etiquette. A deep bow was the bottom line for the officials, so she allowed it.
"Rise."
Her voice was cool and devoid of emotion. After everyone stood up, she spoke again, dropping a bombshell:
"This is Zhao Li, Our fiancé. From this day forward, We bestow upon him the title of Great Li Imperial Advisor. Within the borders of Great Li, seeing the Imperial Advisor is like seeing Us."
After the incident with Lin Feng that day, she decided to be more open and announce it to everyone, to avoid similar incidents from happening again. She even wanted to take this opportunity to hand Great Li over to Zhao Li.
But under Zhao Li's stern refusal, she had to settle for the next best thing, and the Imperial Advisor position became a matter of course.
Zhao Li still wanted to refuse, but under Ye Yunsheng's benevolent smile, he chose to follow his heart and happily agreed.
