Waking in the spacious passage in silence, the emperor Ang Luo was followed by his entourage of protectors while he was on his way to his study room. There's some opposition to the court meeting that happened not so long ago. But then, it was a normal sight for Ang Luo as everyone within the court always has their own hidden agendas.  "Hong Ming…"  Ang Luo halted his steps and called out the name of one of the protectors out of nowhere. The person whose name was called quickly walked to the emperor's side while clasping his hands as he bowed slightly, "I'm here."  On their right side, they could oversee the scenery of neatly decorated gardens filled with many kinds of flowers and trees. It was awfully quiet in that garden, as usually, his daughter would

After he parted ways with the emperor, Ang Luo, Hong Ming sighed to himself while he walked the hallway that led him to the outer gate of the royal empire. Although many people came to the court meeting not too long ago, however, the area has been back to its calmness soon. Many civil officials and military officials had come back to where they came from right after the court meeting ended. Yet, there are some people who choose to stay for a while before they set out to continue their world. The servants in the royal palace still maintained their business, as Hong Ming saw the eunuchs and maids walking around hastily on his way. Last Updated : 2021-03-15

In the mile of the night, when the moon was full and the roar of the predator echoed within the wilderness, a figure could be seen flying silently under the clouds. The speed of the figure was comparable to the king of the sky in this region, the fabled divine beast with a phoenix blood in it. But that king was nowhere to be found because it hates to wander around at night time. Meanwhile, a type of demonic beast was the species that's most active. They loved to hide their grotesque features under the darkness of the night, while their eyes and senses were perfect to hunt their prey under the gloom, cloudy sky. However, none of them dared to approach that lone figure. That figure had the shape of a humanoid, just like the fles

After his departure from official Jun's residence and traveling for more than two days straight, finally, Hong Ming managed to get back to the capital. There's an increased amount of people on the street in one glance if he had to compare it before he started his task. The atmosphere was in a festive mood as well, with streets flooded with people and becoming more boisterous. Not to mention, there seems to be more high end carriages that passed by the street and went to the noble district. The rarely used mansions in that district started to be more lively, with guards and maids wandering around the place and Hong Ming could see it every time he passed a high ranking officials' mansion. Unlike his departure where he flew strai

Coincidentally, amidst his musing, he spotted the grim complexion of the young man called Yun Long. Seeing that Yun Zha took his leave to talk with the emperor, along with other officials, Hong Ming strode to the young man and greeted him. "You look like you are in a bad mood, young prince." He didn't want to suddenly be too friendly with the young man even though they just met. But considering his relationship with Yun Zha in the past decades, Hong Ming would like to have a chat with the young Yun Long, "So I'm here to keep you company."Yun Long, who saw Hong Ming approaching him and offering him a cup of wine, snorted faintly while he
