Chapter 4: Appearance Restored, the Empress's First Battle!
The next moment, Yun Shuiyao seemed to sense something and quickly dispersed her aura.
"Madam, are you awake?"
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng pushed open the door and came in, carrying a steaming bowl of golden soup.
“You are in poor health, so I specially made chicken soup for you to nourish your body.”
But Yun Shuiyao's pretty face remained as cold as ice, unmoved.
You think you can please her with just a bunch of chicken soup for the soul?
Was she an innocent young girl?
"Have a little bit, I cooked it myself, I guarantee it'll be delicious!"
Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng scooped up a spoonful and personally brought it to Yunshuiyao's lips.
"Ok?"
But at that very moment, Yunshuiyao's expression changed slightly.
This soup seems extraordinary, and it is indeed very fragrant.
She hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night, and now her stomach was rumbling loudly.
So, she reluctantly pouted her red lips and took a small sip.
Um! ?
But after just one bite, Yun Shuiyao's beautiful eyes lit up with a new light!
This soup is not only incredibly delicious, but also rich in spiritual energy.
Even more surprisingly, she discovered that the Nether Phoenix Emperor Soul, which was sealed by the five tribulation patterns within her body, was showing signs of loosening!
Although she's still far from breaking the first layer of the seal, this bowl of soup will definitely be enough to give her a cultivation physique comparable to a top-tier spiritual body!
"This soup?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Jiancheng asked with a smile, "Doesn't it taste good?"
"is acceptable."
Yun Shuiyao steadied herself, nodded slightly, and then snatched the soup bowl from Gu Jiancheng's hand, drinking it all in one gulp.
Gu Jiancheng: "???"
"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
"This is made with the phoenix bones that my father bestowed upon me. I will make it for you again later."
Gu Jiancheng took the soup bowl and said casually.
besides! ?
But Yun Shuiyao's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with a strange light.
If that's the case, wouldn't the unsealing of her first layer of life soul be just around the corner?
For a moment, her mind was racing.
She willingly entered the palace to marry Gu Jiancheng in order to find rare and precious treasures to awaken her life soul, but she never expected it to be so easy.
She even wanted to kill Gu Jiancheng right now and seize the so-called Phoenix Bone.
No, no.
But soon, Yunshuiyao overturned her plan.
She couldn't be sure if Gu Jiancheng's words were true or false. If she took a risky move, with her current combat strength, she might not be able to defeat the Emperor of Daqian!
It would be safer to take advantage of the sixth prince's sycophantic attitude and exchange it for the golden soup.
We'll make other plans when the time is right.
So Yun Shuiyao smacked her lips and said calmly, "You don't have to treat me like this."
"One day, I will leave you."
Her friends from the upper realm had told her that the more you push a simp away, the more eagerly he'll cling to you.
"Fate brought you to my side, so I will cherish you. If you leave, I will live my life well."
"If I love you, I will set you free."
Gu Jiancheng simply smiled, then put away the soup bowl and turned to leave.
"you……"
Yun Shuiyao was slightly taken aback as she watched Gu Jiancheng's resolute and upright back.
This seems to be different from what her sisters in the upper realm told her!
Could it be that he is truly sincere towards me?
For a moment, Yun Shuiyao felt a little confused.
"Ding! Sensing a slight ripple in Yunshuiyao's heart, your charm value for the host increases by 30!"
Haha, playing hard to get, feigning indifference?
Hearing the system notification, Gu Jiancheng smiled inwardly.
He only used a little trick!
"Oh, right, we're going to Yitian Palace to pay our respects to the Emperor later, so remember to dress up nicely."
Don't forget to look in the mirror.
After Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, he left the bedchamber.
"Getting ready, looking in the mirror?"
"Gu Jiancheng, are you trying to make me feel inferior to you?"
Yun Shuiyao snorted coldly and then went to the dressing table.
"my face!"
But when she stared at herself in the bronze mirror, she was stunned.
Her face was like an apricot blossom, her cheeks like those of a water lily emerging from the water. The once hideous and terrifying marks had completely vanished!
Now, her appearance has been restored!
It's because of that golden soup!?
Yunshuiyao suppressed her excitement.
She was the First Empress in the Upper Realm, and no one could rival her beauty.
Now that her appearance has been restored, although she no longer possesses the aura of an empress, she is content.
What woman doesn't love beauty?
After a cup of tea, Yunshuiyao, as bright as the sunset, stepped out of the palace gate.
Even though Gu Jiancheng was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel his heartstrings flutter when he saw Yun Shuiyao, who had regained her cultivation and beauty.
Moreover, this is Yunshuiyao, the reincarnation of the Empress.
With her ethereal beauty and aloof, otherworldly air, every frown and smile was enough to captivate all beings.
Upon seeing Gu Jiancheng's "Yunshuiyao," he was also slightly taken aback.
Gu Jiancheng was dressed in a white robe with auspicious cloud patterns. He was tall and strong, and his eyes, in particular, seemed to be able to captivate and steal one's soul.
He seems even more handsome than yesterday!
This philandering prince certainly has the looks to ruin women.
However, being handsome is useless; she's seen all sorts of handsome men in Yunshuiyao.
"Lead the way," Yun Shuiyao said softly.
Gu Jiancheng smiled and said nothing, then led Yun Shuiyao straight to Yi'an Palace.
Along the way, Yunshuiyao did not veil her face, and her stunning beauty naturally attracted countless doubts and exclamations.
When the two arrived at Yi'an Palace, the princes and princesses waiting outside were so astonished by Yun Shuiyao's transformation that their jaws nearly dropped.
Especially the Third Prince, Gu Qianfeng.
He chose Liu Ruyan, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, as his concubine, thinking he had gotten a great deal. But now he realized that compared to Yunshuiyao, Liu Ruyan's beauty was like a grain of rice compared to the bright moon!
"Sixth Brother, there were strange phenomena in the sky last night, and the Yun family girl's appearance was completely restored overnight. There must be evil spirits involved, and they may bring disaster to the country!" Gu Qianfeng said coldly.
"Bringing chaos to the nation? Third Brother, you are the one who is truly bringing chaos to the nation by being ignorant and incompetent and forming cliques for personal gain!"
Gu Jiancheng couldn't tolerate anyone daring to speak sarcastically to Yunshuiyao.
"you!"
Gu Jiancheng spoke without any restraint, which immediately angered the Third Prince. His sinister eyes narrowed as he said, "Sixth Brother, you are now married and it's time for you to go to the Tai Xuan Sect to cultivate. How about your Third Brother teaches you a couple of self-defense techniques?"
Today, he will make Gu Jiancheng, that good-for-nothing, lose all face in front of everyone.
"Oh Well!"
Gu Jiancheng sneered inwardly, "I couldn't be happier!"
This is a good opportunity for him to test the power of the Burning Heaven Overlord Body.
"My lord, there is no need for you to take action. This servant is enough to teach the Sixth Prince."
But Liu Ruyan, standing behind the Third Prince, suddenly stepped forward and said in a sinister tone...
The Third Princess Consort teaching the Sixth Prince self-defense techniques is a blatant insult!
"I come."
Before Gu Jiancheng could speak, Yun Shuiyao suddenly stepped forward from behind.
Her purple hair fluttered in the wind, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with a sharp edge.
It perfectly showcases the Empress's domineering aura!
