Chapter 1342: Chapter 1001: Watching Liao Kong Get Beaten_2

"Thank you, National Master, for coming to our aid. Ah Ta represents the people of Nanjiang in expressing our gratitude for your assistance!"

"Eradicating treacherous demons and monsters is the unshirkable duty of us from the Star Palace. Please, Your Majesty, lead me to meet Princess Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe!"

"Please, National Master!"

Queen Ah Ta led the way in front, and along the way, a major attendant hurriedly approached, "Your Majesty! Xunyang has been spotted near the Dragon Vein!"

"Just as Suisui predicted, after coming out, he would surely first seek the Dragon Vein to absorb its power to restore his cultivation, then attempt to seize our Nanjiang’s national fortune for his own use, and finally, merge with another strand of his Divine Sense."

"Princess Chang Rongshun anticipated these moves, but what countermeasures did she take?"

The National Master, half a step behind Queen Ah Ta, inquired.

"As you must already know, the Nanjiang royal court is about to be struck off. This Royal Palace is about to become history. Without a country name, there naturally won’t be any national fortune, and as for the Dragon Vein, it was severed three days ago by the major attendant and Master Liao Kong."

"It seems that Princess Chang Rongshun has truly matured."

"Suisui is not just any other child!" Queen Ah Ta stopped and pointed to the Side Palace ahead: "Suisui and the others are residing in this Side Palace, National Master, please!"

The National Master entered the Side Palace and saw Xiaosuisui holding her stomach complaining to Princess Lianchun, "I’ve eaten so much vegetarian that my mouth feels bland as if birds could fly out of it. Aunt, can we go out and secretly have some meat, pretty please?"

Princess Lianchun, upon hearing this, gave a vehement thump and burst into anger, "Ji Suisui! You are a Princess, a little fairy, do you understand what being a little fairy means? What nonsense is coming out of your mouth? ’Bland as if birds could fly out of it’, where did you learn such reckless words?"

Xiaosuisui blinked her eyes, holding her head pitifully and feebly protested, "Do I need to learn this? Aren’t these just words others say that I can remember and repeat back?"

"You hear others say it and you remember to use it yourself? That’s quite a remarkable learning ability! Why can’t I learn it?"

Princess Lianchun, utterly exasperated, akimbo and hopping with rage, rebuked.

Xiaosuisui pointed at her, grieved, "Who says Aunt can’t learn? Just a moment ago you said it yourself!"

Princess Lianchun: "..."

Helplessly covering her head, she felt utterly ashamed in raising such a mischievous child!

"Princess Lianchun, no need to be so severe with Princess Chang Rongshun, she is still young and doesn’t yet discern right from wrong. When she grows older, she will naturally understand that such reckless words aren’t fitting for a little fairy like her to say."

"National Master!"

"Long time no see, Princess!"

"Fairly well!"

"National Master, you have arrived! Long time no see!"

Ji Youzhi emerged from the room, chuckling at the narrow escape. Just now, when Xiaosuisui acted up in front of Princess Lianchun, he wisely avoided the scene and watched the little girl get scolded from inside.

Now thankfully, the National Master arrived, putting an end to this farce.

"Divine Hunter Ji, long time no see!"

"Not that long, a bit over a month. Is the National Master here to deal with Xunyang?"

"I am here to announce an edict."

"Ah! An Imperial Decree, for whom?"

Upon hearing the National Master’s words, everyone was quite surprised and quickly asked.

"For Princess Lianchun and Divine Hunter Ji!"

Receiving an Imperial Decree is a significant matter. In the Imperial Palace of the Great Han, Princess Lianchun doesn’t have to kneel to the Emperor and treats him like a dear brother, but when receiving an edict outside, she obediently knelt.

Ji Youzhi also kneeled down.

The National Master took out two Imperial Edicts from his sleeve, opening one of them.

"By the Emperor’s command, it is decreed: The Dragonstone royal family complies with Celestial Destiny, uniting the world as one. As the Nanjiang royal court willingly submits, Princess Lianchun is appointed as the special envoy of Great Han, tasked with overseeing the matter of Nanjiang’s submission — thus it is decreed!"

These words were straightforward, with a clear purpose, and Princess Lianchun accepted the decree and expressed gratitude.

The content of Ji Youzhi’s decree was similar to Princess Lianchun’s, though he was appointed as vice-envoy.

After the reading of the decrees, Yun Kuo took out the Imperial Decree handed to him by Ji Youze, saying to them, "This decree was given to me earlier by my eighth cousin, instructing me to wait for one or two days after arriving in Nanjiang. If Great Han had not sent someone to handle the matter by then, I should hand over this decree to Princess Lianchun, or if someone arrives within two days, I was to give this decree to them for handling!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianchun reached out for the decree and, after reading its content, couldn’t help but sigh, "Who would have thought that Nanjiang is to be removed from the map. It will need a new name henceforth."
