Chapter 535
“Father, I refuse to accept a brother-in-law who is not part of the Imperial Family. If it were the Emperor of Wu or the Emperor of Wu’s own younger brother, that would be one thing. But this is merely the son of an Imperial Advisor. Isn’t this an insult to us, the rulers of the Qing Empire?” Qing Fei vehemently opposed his younger sister Yewon’s marriage to Zi Hao.Qing Duan looked at his son. “The Emperor of Wu has promised to give us half of the Shi Empire and open trade routes through the Wu Empire.”Enraged, Qing Fei slammed his hand onto the dining table made from centuries-old pine wood, causing several porcelain plates to shift from their places.“No, Father! How can we sell our dignity for such superficial benefits?” he shouted, his sharp eyes filled with deep disappointment.Qing Duan, seated calmly at the end of the table, let out a heavy sigh.“Fei, this is not about selling our dignity. This is about strengthening our position and securing the future of the Qing Empire,”

With firm steps, Song Que moved forward, his sharp eyes fixed on Emperor Qing, who had been relentlessly attacking him without mercy. He raised his leg high, drew a deep breath, and planted it back onto the ground with a thunderous boom.Suddenly, his right hand blazed with a crimson light, as though wrapped in flames capable of reducing everything to ashes. With all his strength, Song Que hurled his fist toward Emperor Qing.Caught off guard by the attack, Emperor Qing immediately raised both arms in front of him to defend himself. However, the force behind Song Que’s punch was overwhelming. The Emperor was pushed backward, his feet dragging across the ground and leaving two long grooves that sent dust and smoke swirling into the air.When the dust settled, Emperor Qing could be seen staggering, struggling to regain his balance after the sudden strike. Shock was clearly written across his face, reflecting his disbelief that Song Que had finally retaliated with such unexpected power.

The grand hall of the restaurant was filled with a tension that seemed to seep into the bones. With its towering ceiling and glass walls, natural light illuminated every corner, adding dramatic emphasis to the confrontation unfolding within.A gentle breeze drifted through the open spaces, carrying a faint rustling sound that was nearly drowned out by the oppressive silence.The polished wooden tables were arranged neatly, yet no one dared touch the dishes that had already been served.Every gaze was fixed upon the center of attention, where Zi Shin stood with a straight posture, facing Qing Fei whose body radiated an aura of fury. The energy released by Qing Fei resembled waves of scorching heat surging toward Zi Shin, almost visible to the naked eye.At another table, Zi Hao gripped the edge so tightly that his knuckles turned white, barely restraining his anger over the way his sister was being treated.Yewon, speaking in a voice that sought to calm the situation, tried to ease the

Upon arriving at the Capital of the Qing Empire, the group was captivated by the grandeur before them. Filled with renewed spirit, Yewon, who throughout the journey had seemed little more than a shadow, suddenly stood tall with dignity.“Allow me to guide you through the wonders of the Qing Empire!” she declared, her eyes shining with confidence and knowledge.“How about we stop by a restaurant first? There’s a place here that offers more than ordinary delicacies. They serve legendary beast meat. Rumor has it that the meat can stimulate vitality and improve blood circulation all the way to the heart,” Yewon suggested, as if sharing a treasured secret about a dish capable of changing one’s destiny.Without hesitation, Song Que responded enthusiastically, “Of course. How could we pass up such a marvel? Especially after such a long and exhausting journey.”Excitement and curiosity filled his eyes as he led the group toward what promised to be an unforgettable culinary adventure in the he

The five figures drifted through the sky, traveling unhurriedly toward the Imperial Capital. Song Que suddenly stopped above a village, instantly sensing an unusual aura hanging heavily in the air."Something isn't right down there," Song Que muttered. His sensitivity to the world around him warned him of an approaching threat. "We need to go down and see what's happening."Below them, what appeared to be a peaceful village was actually being consumed by terror. Wild beasts roamed freely, threatening the lives of its residents. Song Que's four companions immediately recognized the leadership role he carried and swiftly followed his instructions.Amid the despair, an elderly man whose face was etched with sorrow raised both hands toward the gloomy sky. "O Heavens, is there truly no salvation for us while this terror runs rampant? If these beasts break through our defenses, destruction will be our fate!"He stood amidst the growing chaos, his voice carried by the howling wind, serving a

As the evening sky dimmed and painted the horizon with shades of crimson and gold, Song Que, Zi Hao, Zi Shin, Yewon, and Sanjung streaked across the heavens at incredible speed, as though they could pierce through the very sky itself.Their destination was the heart of the Qing Empire, though they had first made a brief stop in the Shi Empire to inspect the progress of the grand imperial palace under construction.At the edge of the empire's territory, as dusk gradually settled over the land, Song Que turned toward Yewon and asked in a commanding voice,"Princess Yewon, how much longer until we reach the imperial capital?"Yewon looked at him with admiration and a trace of longing hidden deep within her eyes."About five more days, Brother Song."Her thoughts drifted away. She could not help imagining how different her fate—and the future of the Qing Empire—might have been if she and Song Que had been united. Under his leadership, the empire could have reached heights beyond imaginati
