Chapter 1375: Sealing God Ceremony
On that morning.
Zhi’er woke up and began searching all over Ruizhu Palace, turning things over.
When Qingmei entered the palace, she saw Zhi’er lying on the floor, looking under the cabinet.
Still calling out, "Qiu Da~ Qiu Er~ come out quickly."
Qingmei was utterly puzzled.
"Princess, what’s missing? I’ll help you look for it."
She helped Zhi’er up and patted her skirt.
Zhi’er looked confused, "I’m looking for my little coals."
Qingmei was startled, "Coals? I haven’t been away for long, and the Princess has started raising little creatures again!"
Having said that, she also started calling out around Ruizhu Palace, "Qiu Da~ Qiu Er~ come out!"
Zhi’er had been looking for them all night.
Because she had sent the little demons out earlier to keep an eye on what happened after Yuan Qing hid in the broken temple.
Every night, they would return to report.
Except for last night, they didn’t return.
Furthermore, even their figures vanished without a trace.
Little demons don’t have a distinctive aura like humans; even with a spell, they’re untraceable.
Zhi’er was somewhat puzzled.
She suspected something happened to them, hence they didn’t return.
At that moment, Jing Jia entered from outside the palace, "Zhi’er, it’s time for us to go."
Today is the Divine Enthronement, Zhi’er had already informed Bai Xilie of her need to leave the palace.
In truth, she had to head to the nine layered heaven; for the ceremony to go smoothly, she couldn’t just project a wisp of divine sense up there.
Seeing Jing Jia arrive, Zhi’er temporarily set aside the matter of the little demons.
She said, "Mother, I want to wait for Brother Ce and go with him."
After all, Feng Fuce is the Demon Lord, and she’s worried he might feel uneasy upon reaching the Heavenly Court.
But with her leading him, it would naturally be fine.
Jing Jia, however, said, "Today is special, it’s better that you set off first, besides, the Heavenly Court is somewhat a familiar place for the Demon Lord."
"No need to worry, when you return to the nine layered heaven, you can meet him then."
Zhi’er had no choice but to nod.
She left Ruizhu Palace along with Jing Jia.
Qingmei watched Jing Jia’s departing figure, fuming.
"This female officer, how dare she get so close to the Princess! Empress, please return soon, or the whole harem will be dominated by her."
The daughter of the Heavenly Dao inherited the throne, and prominent figures from all Three Realms came to celebrate.
Thus, Yaochi Palace, the venue for the God Sealing Conference, was resplendent and bustling with noise.
Numerous strangely shaped immortals, demons, and magical creatures passed by.
Their conversation and gestures were no different from humans.
Heavenly Soldiers strictly guarded the surroundings, preventing any malefactors from causing trouble.
Jing Jia hadn’t informed everyone of her awakening yet.
So, with A Ruo’s help, Zhi’er changed into a suitable platinum-colored long dress, arranging her appearance.
With graceful steps, she entered Yaochi Palace, and everyone fell silent.
They gazed at the new Heavenly Dao, either in awe, scrutiny, or admiration.
After Zhi’er took her seat, she raised her hand and said, "Thank you all for attending this banquet. However, the sealing ceremony will be delayed for a moment, as I’m waiting for someone."
As she spoke, she looked around, and indeed, she did not see Feng Fuce’s figure.
But from the corner of her eye, she saw Lord Ju Chixing among the immortals, with his head lowered.
Someone curiously asked, "Who holds such influence that the Heavenly Dao Emperor specifically waits for them?"
Zhi’er nodded and candidly said, "The Demon Lord, Feng Fuce."
"I am waiting for him."
The crowd collectively gasped in surprise.
Someone whispered—
"What? The Demon Lord is here too?"
"This... won’t there be a fight?"
