173 Chapter: 171

"If one Divine Master appeared, it could be a coincidence; if another appeared, it could still be attributed to coincidence. But if three Divine Masters appeared, all of them serving under a mysterious being, it was no longer a coincidence. Something was definitely fishy about it.

Qianye Ying'er, who floated outside in space, stared at the confirmation of two God Emperors and the three Divine Masters with an interested gaze.

"They all serve under a single person… Uncle Gu, did you find anything related to those three?"

"Forgive me, miss, but it seems like those three popped out of thin air. I could not find any past records of their existence."

"Is that so?" The smile on Ying'er only intensified. Her golden eyes seemed to shine with the light of the sun, filled with divine rays and alluring charm that could render any man mad for her.

'Three unknown Divine Masters, each having the inheritance of one of the Divine Beasts, are serving under a single being… It seems that things are about to get interesting.'

She did not care about the threat that they might pose to the God Realm or to the existing powers; all she cared about was whether she could use them to achieve her goals or not. If it meant destroying the whole God Realm, Ying'er would do it. Her obsession for strength was not something that a tiny Primal Chaos could hold.

"I really want to meet this mysterious lord they are talking about…" Ying'er muttered to herself, and her eyes landed on Wansheng before a graceful smile stretched over her lips, stealing the light from the universe itself; it looked like the world itself paled in comparison to her smile. "Uncle Gu, don't you think that someone like him is perfect for my partner?"

Gu Zhu's eyes widened, and he looked at Ying'er with unhidden astonishment.

"Miss, you…"

"Uncle Gu, let's go. We should not make our guests wait too long."

"... As you wish." Gu Zhu bowed and did not utter a single word after. His trust in Qianye Ying'er was absolute. As long as she said something, he would never go against it, even if it meant giving his life in return.

The veil that hid them from the world vanished, and their appearance instantly gained the attention of everyone, prompting them to look towards her.

The Golden Crow, Phoenix, and Xuerong's eyes narrowed.

'Li Suo?' All three thought at the same time. 'No, it's just her appearance that matches her.'

"What a coincidence to meet you here, Goddess Ying'er." Nan Wansheng smiled at Ying'er's appearance, as if he did not expect to meet her here.

Everyone present snorted at his poor acting skills; he obviously came here knowing that he would meet her.

Ying'er smiled.

Even though she wore a veil over her face, it was enough to enchant every single person present… of course, that did not include the three Divine Beasts who have seen Li Suo during the Primordial Era.

"The Royal Father is busy with other matters, so I took it upon myself to attend the coronation. I hope it doesn't offend you."

In the eyes of the world, Ying'er was the most holy untouched flower, gentle and warm. A flower that everyone dreamed of plucking but did not have the courage to even look at.

"Snake."

"Fox."

"Vixen."

Phoenix, Xuerong, and the Golden Crow each uttered a single word after hearing Ying'er talk, promoting a silence that engulfed everything.

"Ahem. The coronation is about to start soon; we should take our seats." Feeling the unbearable silence, Zhou Xuzi coughed and decided to break it. He was here to watch the coronation, not a fight between four women.

"Hahaha, Eternal God Emperor is right." Wansheng also laughed and looked towards Ying'er, the lustful desire with which he used to look at her was as apparent as the clear sky. "Miss Ying'er, why don't you sit beside this Wansheng—"

He didn't complete his sentence as Ying'er walked past him and sat in the opposite direction of him.

The smile on Wansheng's face became slightly strained, but he did not say anything and sat on his chair silently.

The Golden Crow looked towards Huo Rulie, who had been standing a distance away from them with sweat forming over his face and ordered.

"Bring Caiyi."

"Yes." Rulie did not dare to neglect her orders, bowed, and hurriedly went to get Caiyi. The slaps he had received still stung his face, more so after knowing that the Golden Crow and Phoenix might have some connection with Yun Che.

It did not take long for Caiyi to appear on the stage with Xue'er nervously following after her.

Caiyi wore her Demon Empress robes as she confidently walked towards the central throne; the presence of the God Emperors and Divine Masters did not seem to make her nervous in the least.

"Impressive. Despite her strength, she already has the aura of a ruler." Zhou Xuzi praised. He did not look surprised seeing her strength, since he was aware of the tradition of the Flame God Realm.

"Of course, she is the heir of this noble one. Only those that are born to rule can be this noble one's heir." The Golden Crow did not miss the chance to boast.

"She is your disciple?" Zhou Xuzi looked at the Golden Crow with an understanding look. He now understood why she did not choose to become the Realm King herself. It seems that she wants to promote her disciple instead.

"There isn't anything special about her." Wansheng gave a passing glance to Huan Caiyi and said. She was beautiful, but he had many wives that were as beautiful as her. As for her strength, it was even more useless in Wansheng's eyes.

The Golden Crow glared towards Wansheng, but before she could say anything, Phoenix interjected.

"At least he has working eyes."

"She is stronger than the chicken beside her."

"That's because Xue'er took some time in awakening her inheritance. If she had awakened it early, she would have been stronger than Caiyi."

"And? She is still weaker than my heir."

"Not for long."

"Just admit it, Phoenix. In terms of flame strength and quality of heir, this noble one has beaten you."

"Stop dreaming, crow. Say that after you beat me in a fight. And Xue'er still hasn't fully awakened her Phoenix Soul; once she does it, her strength would leap several realms easily. Caiyi won't be able to reach her then."

"Hah, Caiyi also hasn't awakened her Golden Crow soul yet. If she did, she would have already reached the Divine King Realm by now!"

"Keep dreaming. You have been doing that since you were born; it won't change anything."

"Why don't you say that again after I punch you in the face with my Golden Crow Flames?"

"You can try, but with your strength, I doubt it would have any effect on me."

'Their relationship really depicts the legends of Phoenix and the Golden Crow… How did they even live together so far?' Zhuo Xuzi looked at them with a weird gaze. He wondered if it was because they were the heirs of the Golden Crow and the Phoenix.

Caiyi, who reached the throne, took a deep breath and sighed. She just wanted to end this coronation thing as fast as possible.

"Master, Lord Crow, calm down. You are making Sister Caiyi angry." Both the Golden Crow and Phoenix looked towards Xue'er, seeing her innocent worried expression, both of them snorted and decided to ignore each other.

Xue'er smiled wryly, already used to their behavior, and hurriedly walked to stand beside Caiyi's throne.

"Xue'er, don't go and act like a maid for her. Come, sit beside me." Seeing Xue'er, Phoenix frowned and pointed at the empty throne beside her.

Xue'er looked towards Caiyi, and seeing her nodding, she meekly walked and sat beside Phoenix. Feeling the gazes of everyone, especially God Emperors and Ying'er, it only served to make her even more nervous.

Caiyi also sat on the throne placed in the center and looked at the people gathered below with an impossible aura. Despite her weak strength, people couldn't help but feel they were standing in front of a God Emperor. Her aura really gave the same feeling of majesty of an emperor.

'What a talented child…' Zhuo Xuzi looked at Caiyi and sighed. 'She already has such an impossible aura at such a young age; she will make an excellent Realm King in the future.'

"Oh, it seems like I am not late." Just then, a laid-back jovial voice of a young man rang loudly within everyone's ears.
