Chapter 1326: What Good News?
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals finally reacted.
They hurriedly put down the magic spells in their hands and gathered around to pay their respects.
The one leading the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals was War God Mengtu.
He cupped his hands and said, "It was arranged by the elders and Upper God because the Empress’s Divine Enthronement Ceremony is approaching."
"By then, deities, ghosts, and spirits from the Four Seas and Eight Deserts will gather. To prevent any disturbance, the Thunder Drawing Formation needs to be set as a deterrent."
Bai Zhi’er hesitated, "But the Thunder Drawing Formation is immensely powerful. If accidentally triggered, wouldn’t it obliterate the opponent completely?"
Montu replied, "The elders said that if the magic spell is not fully drawn, the power won’t be that high."
Bai Zhi’er glanced at the half-drawn talisman array, faintly shimmering with golden light within the clouds.
She thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then I’ll leave it to you."
Subsequently, Bai Zhi’er turned and flew towards the Book Tower.
The Heavenly Book is enshrined on the topmost floor.
The little fairies guarding the entrance recognized Bai Zhi’er and respectfully greeted her.
Bai Zhi’er, familiar with the place, reached the top floor with ease.
The Heavenly Book is not accessible to everyone; one must have considerable cultivation.
But Bai Zhi’er, from the age of two, could freely peruse it.
This time was no exception.
She recited her wish in her heart, and the huge golden glass-like thick pages turned automatically.
Until it stopped at the page where Bai Zhi’er sought her answer.
"To form a human body, one first needs 999 Hundred Spirit Grass, and the place where the Hundred Spirit Grass grows is in the Demon World Fallen God Land..."
Bai Zhi’er read softly.
She was somewhat delighted, "This is simple, just ask Brother Fu Ce for some!"
The matter was resolved especially smoothly; Bai Zhi’er initially wanted to visit her mother, but considering she needed to tell Jiang Ying the good news, she left the nine layered heaven directly.
Early the next morning, Bai Zhi’er hurriedly left the palace.
Bai Xilie went to Ruizhu Palace to find his daughter, but found she wasn’t there.
"Where did Zhi’er go?" he asked Qingmei.
Qingmei quickly replied, "The Princess went to Jiang Mansion, she might be back a bit late."
Bai Xilie pondered for a moment, then nodded, "When she returns, have her come to the Imperial Study Room, I have good news to share!"
"Yes." Qingmei agreed, watching Bai Xilie leave with hands behind his back, humming a tune.
She was puzzled, "Strange, the Emperor should be in court at this time, why hasn’t he gone?"
The little palace Servant beside whispered, "I heard from the eunuchs at Qianyuan Hall that this is the first time in years the Emperor woke up late."
"Ah?" Qingmei was surprised.
Because Bai Xilie is a diligent Emperor, waking up late and missing morning court is very rare.
She was even more curious.
"What kind of happy event could make the Emperor wake up late..."
Over on Bai Zhi’er’s side, she arrived at Jiang Mansion.
She jumped off the carriage and ran into the main courtyard, "Sister Jiang Ying, I have good news for you."
The Master and Madam Jiang were not home; they had gone to Yizhuang to discuss when to bury Jiang Mian.
When she found Jiang Ying, she was sitting listlessly in the pavilion, blowing in the cold wind.
The surrounding maids tried to persuade her, but Jiang Ying ignored them.
It was only when she heard Bai Zhi’er’s voice approaching that she returned to her senses and slightly turned her eyes.
"Zhi’er sister." She stood up.
Bai Zhi’er ran into the pavilion, panting, her dark eyes lively and moist.
"Phew, I’m worn out, Sister Jiang Ying, why are you here alone in the cold wind?"
Jiang Ying’s complexion was somewhat pale, her eyes deeply circled with darkness.
It seemed she hadn’t slept well.
