Chapter 5370: Save Me, Sister-in-Law!
That lie was a bit too fake, wasn't it? How blind must the Heavenly Dao's eyes be to precisely locate all cultivators above the Divine Realm, including the hidden guards, hiding in every nook and cranny of the East Palace... while completely missing the two mother-and-child who were actually leveling up?
Wait?
Mother and child leveling up! Princess Wushuang silently repeated this, then abruptly turned her head, staring in the direction of the little imperial grandson, and gasped, "My little nephew is leveling up? Leveling up what? He didn't just open his mystic channels at birth, did he?! Is he perhaps going to advance to a Grand Mystic Master?"
Bai Wuxia's lips twitched, and she said expressionlessly, "You might not believe it, but this grandson of mine is quite exceptionally gifted, truly blessed! As soon as he was born, he was at the same cultivation realm as his mother. The Crown Prince just said that Qiao Qiao is probably about to break through to Divine Realm Level Ten. My grandson will probably follow suit..."
Bai Wuxia noticed that after she finished speaking with an expression of pride, Princess Wushuang's jaw seemed about to drop... Bai Wuxia quickly stepped forward and pulled her, pressing her down onto a stool. "Wushuang, calm down, ah, take a deep breath, don't be nervous, calm down, calm down!"
An Wushuang's eyes widened as she stared at Empress Bai. "Your Majesty, you're the one who's more excited right now!"
No wonder Heaven was coming to strike; it was here to strike down prodigies. But, but why involve so many innocent bystanders...? Hearing the wailing outside, An Wushuang immediately leaped off the stool. The situation was now very clear. Sister-in-law gave birth to an unparalleled little prodigy. When she leveled up, the little prodigy also leveled up. Fine, mother and son worked together to level up, and as a result, they angered the Heavenly Dao.
That coward, Heavenly Dao, didn't dare to bother the mother and son, so it furiously retaliated against all cultivators above the Divine Realm in the East Palace. Bah, what a coward... Who did they offend? She had never heard of anything so utterly ridiculous. Qiao Qiao leveling up, and Heavenly Dao striking her friends and family—it was simply laughable...
The immediate priority was to bring in the female relatives who were cultivators above the Divine Realm from outside to avoid the thunderfire. Who knew how long this Heavenly Dao would be mad? Could it be that for as long as Qiao Qiao was leveling up, the Heavenly Dao would keep striking?? As for the men, it was naturally inconvenient for them to enter the inner chambers, so... they would just have to keep enduring it outside, haha.
Hmm? Why did she feel a bit of schadenfreude? Princess Wushuang had this thought flash through her mind, and she quickly ran towards the door.
The thunderfire in the East Palace continued to rage for three days and three nights. The men above the Divine Realm in the East Palace all suffered terribly... The Emperor, who had received prior warning and a message from the Empress, didn't dare to step into the East Palace for those three days and thus luckily escaped the disaster.
Qiao Qiao, holding her baby, completed her leveling up after three days and opened her eyes. What she saw were pairs of expectant eyes staring at the mother and child.
Princess Wushuang, in tears, rushed over, pounding the quilt and crying out with both shock and joy, "Sister-in-law! You finally finished leveling up! If you hadn't finished, I'm afraid my husband, San'er, wouldn't have been able to hold on!"
Empress Bai twitched her lips repeatedly.
Peony Immortal, enchantingly, laughed, "Oh, Heaven has mercy, our Qiao has finally finished leveling up."
Qiao Mu, holding her baby, looked bewildered. She led Empress Bai, Princess Wushuang, Qi Xuanxuan, and the others, and with a whoosh, opened the hall door.
