"Strange," Jiang Lan said, looking away as if making a casual remark.
Since Emperor Xia was no longer concealing her identity, he naturally played along.
"Strange? What's strange about it? This is my true appearance." Emperor Xia's dark brows arched slightly, her tone laced with displeasure.
"Strangely beautiful," Jiang Lan said.
The words on the tip of Emperor Xia's tongue vanished. Though she felt a little odd, she wasn't offended. In fact, she was even a little flattered. Still, she snorted coldly. "Smooth talker."
Jiang Lan seemed unfazed by her tone. He changed the subject, offering a somewhat perfunctory congratulations. "Congratulations on your successful breakthrough to the Eighth Realm, Your Majesty. This achievement must have relieved you of many worries."
"Shouldn't Your Majesty be in Chengming Hall reviewing memorials right now? How do you have the time to visit the Desire Immortal Pavilion?"
