Chapter 5369: Poor Eyesight
Princess Wushuang cried out indignantly. "It's all because of this crazy Heavenly Dao, I don't know what kind of madness it's throwing. My Five Spirits Reincarnation was ages ago, and now it suddenly wants to strike me again. It's simply doing whatever it wants, ridiculous!"
Wei Ziqin's lips twitched, and she lightly coughed, forcibly suppressing her laughter. She didn't know why, but seeing the princess in such a disheveled state made her want to laugh...
Princess Wushuang found a mirror and looked at herself, complaining angrily, "Damn it, it's blackened my face! I hope I don't scare my little nephew."
Bai Wuxia coughed helplessly. "Your sister-in-law and nephew probably don't have time to bother with you right now. Just sit down for a bit, Wushuang."
"Oh right, it's so noisy outside, will it disturb my sister-in-law? They must be very tired, mother and son."
Bai Wuxia rolled her eyes. "Not really tired."
Aunt Ren almost couldn't hold back her laughter and quickly coughed, saying, "Princess, don't worry, just sit for a bit. Once the Crown Princess and the little imperial grandson finish leveling up, this thunderfire tribulation outside should pass."
Princess Wushuang turned her face around blankly. Only then did she notice the little stoic sitting properly behind the golden silk-woven curtains, holding a baby. The surrounding area was filled with dense divine power and swirling white mist; half the grand hall seemed enveloped in a fairy-like realm. The mother and son were absorbing divine power here, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
The entire Dragon Flame City was in turmoil. All the divine power within a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles was rushing towards the East Palace, jostling to be the first. Inside the East Palace, it was utter chaos. All cultivators above the Divine Realm were collectively suffering! No matter which corner or room you hid in, the heaven and earth's thunderfire would strike you until you lost your temper.
The most miserable were Feng Chen and Holy Son Mi Yan. They were perfectly fine staying in the Star Domain, but they had to come out to watch the excitement, intending to make fun of classmate Mo Lian, and ended up getting caught themselves.
The heaven and earth's thunderfire fiercely chased and relentlessly attacked the Transcendent Realm cultivators... It was infuriating! Mo Lian and the other two who knew the truth were almost in tears.
You tell me, isn't this Heavenly Dao infuriating? It dared not confront Qiao Qiao, so it cowardly bullied them instead. Who had they offended? They hadn't even leveled up much lately, just staying peacefully...
Around the three of them, many Divine Realm cultivators consciously kept their distance, fearing they would be needlessly implicated again. It was already difficult enough to deal with four or five bolts of thunderfire, wasn't it? Crown Prince Feng Chen and the others, let those who are capable do more; it's up to them to bear one-third of the thunderfire on the field...
Princess Wushuang stood there dumbfounded for a long time, finally finding her voice and asking in a dry tone, "Th-the Heavenly Dao, isn't it, isn't it coming for my sister-in-law and them?"
Bai Wuxia nodded, looking at her sympathetically. "Most likely. Only the mother and son are leveling up here; no one else is."
Princess Wushuang stood there blankly. After a moment, she asked in a dry voice, "Then, then what is it striking us for??"
Heavens above! Who is leveling up, anyway? Does the Heaven have eyes or not?!
Bai Wuxia raised her hand and patted her back. "Perhaps the Heavenly Dao is old and has poor eyesight; it can't see clearly for a moment."
Princess Wushuang stared at the Empress with the gaze one would give a divine being. Your Majesty, don't you feel guilty saying that?
