Chapter 1344: Chapter 1001 Watching Liao Kong Get Pummeled_4

Upon hearing this, Huo Xing’Er nodded, "I was indeed mistaken; this star sign does not reflect any particular person but the entire world."

Ji Youyuan slightly nodded, knowing the Empress’s delivery day was fast approaching!

Those observing this extraordinary star sign were not limited to just the two of them. In Nanjiang, the National Master, having just read the Imperial Decree aloud, and Xiaosuisui also looked up to witness this peculiar phenomenon, both secretly smiling.

In the Great Han’s Cining Palace, Xie Pan’Er awoke from her dream, drenched in sweat, and sat up involuntarily.

The Emperor hastily opened his eyes and asked, "What is it? Did that little rascal kick your belly again?"

Xie Pan’Er gently shook her head, "No, it was a dream. It felt as though something entered my stomach, but now I can’t recall what it was."

"What was it? Do you have any impression of it? Can you remember?"

"I can’t remember, yet it felt like it was my precious darling. It gave me a sense of intimacy."

"What do you mean? You felt it was intimate?" the Emperor suddenly had a flash of insight and was enlightened.

"Sleep. You’re pregnant; you need to rest well." The Emperor held her in his arms, letting her return to sleep.

Xie Pan’Er pushed him away, her cheeks slightly flushed as she mumbled, "Your Majesty, Pan’Er feels hungry."

Her shy and hesitant demeanor made the Emperor fall deeply in love with her. He gazed at Xie Pan’Er for quite some time, then let out a low chuckle, lightly pecking her lips.

"Wait, I’ll get you something delicious!"

Nanjiang

"Finally revealed himself, how could that old fellow Xunyang hide for so long before emerging!"

Princess Lianchun and Xiaosuisui were seated on the highest rooftop of the Nanjiang King’s Court, watching a shadow dash into Monk Liao Kong’s courtyard.

"Tell me, how does that little brain of yours work? How did you know he would appear tonight?"

Xiaosuisui gave a mysterious smile, "If I said I can predict it, would you believe me, aunt?"

"Hmm! I seemingly have no reason not to believe!"

This little girl’s studies are indeed diverse!

"Shall we go enjoy the show now?"

Princess Lianchun asked excitedly.

Xiaosuisui nodded, laughing gleefully, "Let’s go watch the show!"

"Take me, Feifei, let’s find a good spot across the way to watch Xunyang and that old bald monk Liao Kong duel!"

Being able to see Liao Kong and Xunyang face off made Xiaosuisui particularly excited.

Sure enough, when they arrived, they lay on the rooftop, hiding to watch below.

They saw Liao Kong holding a wooden fish drum, knocking on it rapidly.

Xiaosuisui, finding it unbearable, quickly took out two cotton balls to plug her ears and handed two more to Princess Lianchun.

Upon seeing this, Princess Lianchun immediately followed suit and then, her eyes brightened. She inquired with her eyes, "Why did you prepare these?"

Xiaosuisui gestured with her hands, indicating she had anticipated this and had experience from before.

That’s why she came so well-prepared.

Xiaosuisui then retrieved a handful of melon seeds from her sleeve universe and shared half with Princess Lianchun.

Unexpectedly, two people suddenly descended beside them—it was Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo.

As they landed, each handed a slice of cantaloupe to Princess Lianchun and Xiaosuisui.

"Why are you two here?" Princess Lianchun asked Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo with her eyes.

Both turned their gazes to Xiaosuisui, their intent clear—they had followed her here, keeping an eye on her.

Yun Kuo conjured a barrier in front of them, isolating the group from Xunyang and Liao Kong to ensure their noise wouldn’t be detected by them.

"Now that’s better, we can watch the show calmly! Aren’t you tired of all the gestures and lip-reading?"

Xiaosuisui snuggled close to Yun Kuo, nestling into his embrace, "Uncle Yun Kuo, what kind of divine art is this? Teach me, will you?"

Yun Kuo rolled his eyes at her, displeased, "Didn’t your grandmother teach you the Yun family’s ultimate skills?"

"No!" Xiaosuisui answered honestly.

"Then I’ll teach you later!"

Suisui was overjoyed, "Thank you, Uncle Yun Kuo, you’re the best!"

Being able to learn something new, Xiaosuisui didn’t hesitate to praise Yun Kuo!

"Enough flattery! Watch the show, see, Liao Kong is making his move."

Xiaosuisui quickly turned her attention to Liao Kong and Xunyang.

Soon, golden light emanated ring after ring from Liao Kong’s kasaya, a manifestation of Buddhist Dharma’s virtue.

"Who knew, this old bald monk still has the light of virtue!"

"He is devoted to Buddhism. As long as he harbors no significant selfish desires and doesn’t harm living beings, virtue will naturally reside in him."

Yun Kuo responded to Xiaosuisui’s comment.

Ji Youzhi chuckled lightly, "Who says that old bald monk doesn’t have selfish desires!"

Yun Kuo raised an eyebrow, "He’s a monk, how can he have any hidden motives?"

Ji Youzhi chuckled, "Hehe!"

Princess Lianchun then recounted the previous incident wherein Liao Kong attempted to forcibly take Xiaosuisui as his disciple.

Yun Kuo’s face darkened immediately, "Too self-serving, he’ll find it difficult to grasp the supreme attainment!"

"Stop talking, quickly watch, that old bald monk is at a disadvantage now."

Xiaosuisui found the elders rather noisy and dismissed them.

"Old bald monk, hand over what belongs to me!"

"Eradicating evil is a duty of those on the righteous path. My Buddha is compassionate, and this humble monk has merely confined him within the alms bowl, chanting scripture daily to convert him. I’ve shown him the greatest mercy!"

"Old bald monk, who are you fooling? Back then, who was it that harbored malicious intent, wanting to take the Celestial Dao’s son under your protection? You clearly desired the fortune that came with him to help you break through this world’s shackles. Yet you claimed it was for the world. Old bald monk, search your heart; do you truly deserve to be a monk?"

Xunyang’s revelations widened Xiaosuisui’s eyes; Xunyang knew all about these matters!

"No wonder he’s a master of schemes; his manipulation of people’s hearts is too brilliant!"

Princess Lianchun couldn’t help but admire.

"It’s just a pity he chose the wrong path!" Ji Youzhi said.

"Everyone has selfish desires," Yun Kuo asserted.

"Regardless of selfish desires, if you are a wrongdoer, then you should face consequences for your misdeeds, all the more if you harm living beings!"

Xiaosuisui made the final statement, and then watched as Liao Kong and Xunyang began to fight.

Xunyang practiced witchcraft, his witch power manifested as black mist, assaulting Liao Kong.

Liao Kong, as a monk, wielded Buddhist light in both his kasaya and his wooden fish drum.

In this clash of good versus evil, the situation changed in the blink of an eye. The group watched unblinkingly as blows landed on Liao Kong!

"Liao Kong is too weak, just that? What can he do if we wage a full battle against Xunyang?"

Princess Lianchun sneered at Liao Kong’s lack of combat prowess, curling her lips.

Xiaosuisui offered a differing opinion in explanation.

"Aunt, don’t forget, before Xunyang was sealed by the ancestral founder, he had a cultivation of third-grade or higher in the Immortal realm."

Princess Lianchun: "..."
