The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 57 – The sky is sick, be careful of infection

The newcomer's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for everyone to hear.

The crowd turned and looked in the direction of the voice.

Only the seraph girl didn't turn her head. She knelt on one knee and said, "Lian Yue greets the City Lord."

As one of the angelic guards, Lian Yue was very familiar with the voice of the City Lord of the Ancient Divine City.

Lian Yue became excited and clasped her fists, saying, "City Lord, I discovered a human who sneaked into the city. Please decide his fate."

When they saw who had arrived, all the foreign tribe residents in the city knelt down, their eyes filled with fervor as they shouted, "Greetings, City Lord!"

To the foreign tribes in the city, Qiong was the sky, the god!

As long as Qiong was there, no one and no force would dare to offend the Divine City, let alone harm the foreign tribes within it.

Dongfang Liuli squinted and saw a girl with a purple motif.

No! She couldn't be called a girl; she was a slender young woman with a flat chest.

The young woman had a high ponytail and spirited eyes. She was staring at Meng Qingzhou, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as if she was contemplating something.

"Hey!"

Dongfang Liuli stepped in front of the young woman, blocking her view. With a half-smile and cold eyes, she said, "Isn't it impolite to stare at someone else's husband?"

The young woman was none other than the master of the Ancient Divine City, the ancient beast—Qiong!

Qiong glanced at Dongfang Liuli, her lips slightly parted as she transmitted her voice, "Empress of Great Jin, I know you. Your reputation precedes you, but it's not a good one. I suppose you wouldn't want your husband to know that you're a bloodthirsty, ruthless tyrant, would you?"

"Behave yourself. I'm not here to cause trouble."

Dongfang Liuli's eyes narrowed.

Such a domineering woman, she had never seen one before.

No wonder she was an ancient relic who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, a supreme being in the late Morning Glow Realm, who could see through her at a glance.

"What do you want?" Dongfang Liuli transmitted her voice.

"I should be asking you that. Emperor of the humans, what are you doing sneaking into the Divine City?" Qiong asked.

"Looking for my husband," Dongfang Liuli replied simply.

Qiong nodded slightly and transmitted her voice, "Interesting. The mighty emperor of Great Jin has taken a mortal as her husband."

"I like it. Got a problem with that?" Dongfang Liuli retorted bluntly.

Even Qiong couldn't see through Meng Qingzhou's Moon Shine Realm Sword Saint cultivation level, as the System concealed it. Even a legendary Heaven Supporting Realm being couldn't see through Meng Qingzhou's cultivation.

Qiong ignored Dongfang Liuli and said, "I want to invite you two to a banquet. Why did Doctor Meng refuse?"

"I don't want to go," Meng Qingzhou said calmly.

Qiong's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "Just accompany me for a meal and answer a few questions, and I'll absolve your wife of her crime of sneaking into the Divine City. How about that?"

The seraph girl Lian Yue couldn't help but say, "City Lord, humans are despicable and treacherous. We can't let them go easily!"

Qiong's cold eyes flashed like lightning, "Since when do you get to tell me what to do?"

Lian Yue immediately knelt in fear, "I am guilty."

Seeing this, many foreign tribes who wanted to advise also shut their mouths tightly.

"I agree, but on one condition: I will accompany you alone. My wife cannot go," Meng Qingzhou said.

"As you wish," Qiong nodded in agreement.

Dongfang Liuli was stunned, blinking as she looked at Meng Qingzhou. She grabbed his weak spot and said stiffly, "What do you mean?"

"Are you afraid I'll interrupt your romantic meeting with the beautiful City Lord?"

Meng Qingzhou was distressed and quickly explained, "Heaven have mercy, I have no such intention. The City Lord is sick, and I'm afraid you'll catch it if you go."

As soon as he said this, not only Dongfang Liuli was dumbfounded.

Even the foreign tribes gathered on the street were stunned, and the seraph girl Lian Yue's eyes widened in shock.

Qiong, who had been silent, showed a look of confusion in her gray eyes and said, "Doctor Meng, are you implying that you just insulted me?"

Dongfang Liuli didn't expect Meng Qingzhou to be so bold.

The world said the Empress had boundless ambition and courage to conquer the world. Now it seemed this evaluation should be given to you instead.

You're not Salted Fish Meng; you're Bold Meng!

"No, no, no, it's a misunderstanding," Meng Qingzhou quickly waved his hand, "City Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but don't you know your own condition?"

At this point, Meng Qingzhou's voice suddenly became calm, "My wife and I have no cultivation. We can't withstand the erosion of calamity. I am going to the banquet to atone for my wife's crime. There's no need to involve another person. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Qiong's expression suddenly changed, and she stared at Meng Qingzhou.

The calamity of the gods had always been a secret. How did this mortal know?

And he knew quite a lot. With just a few words, Meng Qingzhou revealed that he knew about the calamity of the gods and could deduce that it happened once every hundred years. Otherwise, why would he worry about his wife being eroded by it?

"You are indeed interesting," Qiong said with a faint smile, "But rest assured, the calamity has been suppressed and won't spread in the short term."

Meng Qingzhou's expression relaxed, and he smiled awkwardly, "Ah?"

"Hey! You should have said so earlier! Well, wife, you can come with me to the banquet."

Dongfang Liuli tilted her head, "Wife... what does that mean?"

"It means 'wife'."

"Oh, by the way, what were you and the City Lord talking about in riddles earlier? It sounded like secret words between lovers. Can you tell me?" Dongfang Liuli showed a dangerous smile.

Meng Qingzhou's alarm bells rang, and he said with a smile, "I'll tell you when we get home. Let's not embarrass the City Lord in public. You know, she's sick..."

Dongfang Liuli pretended to be surprised and raised her voice, "That kind of... shameful illness? I didn't expect the City Lord to be so debauched."

Meng Qingzhou quickly covered Dongfang Liuli's mouth and whispered, "Auntie, don't say such things. She can hear you!"

...

...

The couple stuck together, chatting idly as they followed the gloomy-faced 'Qiong' to the City Lord's mansion.

Neither of them was particularly afraid of Qiong. Even if they couldn't win, escaping would be easy.

Of course, they were also sure that Qiong wouldn't dare start a battle in the city; otherwise, the entire city's inhabitants wouldn't survive.

Meng Qingzhou knew Qiong better and knew that during the calamity of the gods, her strength would be greatly reduced and she would become very weak.

So the two of them chatted boldly.

Qiong's pretty face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. After enduring for a long time, they finally arrived at the banquet hall of the City Lord's mansion.

The banquet table was already filled with delicious dishes, various precious ingredients that even the Great Jin palace couldn't see.

"Please, stop chatting and have some food first," Qiong said with a stiff smile.
