The sun sets and the night is approaching.

The blood-red clouds covered the entire sky.

Under the faint afterglow, the whole earth seemed to be covered with red gauze.

Fengyang Pavilion.

Since Concubine Ya left, Xia Yuling has sat alone in the backyard for an afternoon, looking at the blood-red sky, with a slightly complicated expression...

“Meow~”

Similarly, Su Bai, who had been practicing for a whole afternoon, flew down from the glazed tiles and walked to Xia Yuling. His round brain was slightly leaning, and his eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Xiaobai~"

Xia Yuling, who came back to her senses due to movement and stillness, lowered her head and saw Su Bai. Only after she saw a hint of color that should have appeared on her beautiful little face.

As he spoke, the lotus arm spread lightly, and he had already carried Su Bai into his arms.

"Xiaobai, if a bad person bullies me, will you protect me?" For some reason, Xia Yuling suddenly asked Su Bai a stupid question.

"Meow~" Su Bai shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Yuling was suddenly a little angry:

"Okay! You, a heartless person, actually said you don't want to protect me?"

"snort!"

"You don't want to eat today's supper!"

"..." Hearing this, Su Bai was speechless, but his petite brows frowned slightly.

"Big girl, I mean, I won't let you bully..."

Because he didn't want to reveal his ability to speak, Su Bai had no choice but to act obediently and gently rubbed his little head against Xia Yuling's delicate body.

"Just now I'm thinking about begging for mercy? It's too late!"

On the other hand, Xia Yuling still pouted her mouth in anger, as if she was very resentful to Su Bai's previous answer.

......

night.

Top floor of Fengyang Pavilion.

"You guys stay here to protect her. If something happens, go to the back mountain to find me."

"clear!"

Swish!

As soon as the tender words fell, a white figure passed away in a blink of an eye.

"Sister Yanyan, why does Your Highness Bai go to the back mountain at this time..."

At the windowsill, Zi Siu watched Su Bai leave and then asked softly at the black cat Yanyan beside him.

"We should not talk about your highness's affairs."

After speaking, Heimao Yanyan slowly withdrew his gaze and turned toward the room.

I saw that Xia Yuling was asleep...

......

On the other side, the back mountain.

[Sign-in location: Back mountain of the Imperial Palace; time (one minute/three hours)]

Looking at the panel content in his mind, Su Bai felt a little silent.

Today, Xia Yuling's look that seemed a little wrong and his slightly abrupt questions were actually always remembered by him.

Including the appearance of the old Taoist some time ago...

"Whether human or demon..."

"Just step on the red line..."

"I'll give you a free ride!"

After feeling that the little days with Xia Yuling became more and more uneasy, Su Bai's originally had to live a life of mediocrity and a little lazy personality began to change...

"The Yuan is the root, the spirit is the food, use the Yuan to transform the heaven, and use the spirit to shape the earth!"

"Red Flame..."

"rise!"

Chih!

As Su Bai shouted lightly in his heart, nine red fire lotus appeared out of thin air in the void, arranged in a circle, and flowed on its own.

Under the fire, Su Bai's slightly petite figure was also slightly distorted...

"It's just the last step..."

Looking at the golden energy that was boiling like a turbulent sea in his body, it had gathered in his abdomen and turned into a golden ocean, Su Bai's eyes immediately condensed.

The next moment, I directly put all my mind on the picture of "Red Flame Burning the World" in my mind!

"Change!"

Whoosh!

Nine red fire lotus rose rapidly to Su Bai's head, and at the same time turned nine into one, condensing into a red and black demon lotus. The starlight suddenly appeared, containing infinite power!

Buzz...

At the same time, the surrounding space actually made waves of wailing, as if it could not bear the terrifying pressure emitted by the demon lotus.

......

A few hours later.

call...

At the top of the sky at the back mountain of the entire imperial palace, "Lingxuan" visions appeared again, and accompanied by it, there was also a giant snow-white wild beast phantom that could penetrate the world!

Although it only flashed by, the terrifying aura emitted in that moment scared all the creatures in the back mountain to the point of breaking their hearts...

"The emperor-level bloodline is indeed a good thing. At least I have experienced what it means to practice like eating and breaking the state of mind is like drinking water..."

A young voice that was like a human being about twelve years old, quietly speaking.

Then, there was no movement.

......

Time soon came three days later.

On this day, the entire imperial city was decorated with lights and colors, as if the New Year had arrived.

But all the pedestrians on the street were wearing short tulle clothes, which meant that it was only June.

"Brother, what's wrong today? How come such a grand occasion happened?"

An apparently a merchant from another place asked a man beside him.

"Yeah! You just saw that you had just entered the city. Now there are notices posted in all parts of Jingzhao Prefecture. You will know when you go over and take a look."

The man did not explain directly, but instead responded with a hint of ridiculousness.

"Thank you." Seeing this, the merchant didn't say much. He just bowed and headed towards a notice wall not far ahead.

"It seems that I'm not alone, I don't know..."

Seeing the crowds ahead, the head was raising and the forehead was touching. It was already a crowded scene, and the merchants couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When I approached a few steps, I heard:

"The eldest prince of our dynasty returned from the fifth year of further study in the Yuan Dynasty. Today we celebrate together with the city. We are very happy and amnesty!"

"Okay! I didn't expect that I could still see such a grand event when I came to the imperial capital."

"I heard that the eldest prince left the palace at the age of fifteen. He should be twenty this year, right?"

"Yes, this year should be the year when the eldest prince performs the crown ceremony, so he will return at this time."

"I heard that the eldest prince has not been married yet..."

"Then what, Cuihua, let's not think about it..."

After the merchant listened for a while, he left with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The same scene is everywhere in the entire Jingzhao Prefecture.

Among them, Shunde Inn.

"Master, today is so lively! Why don't we go out for a walk too?"

Standing by the windowsill, Taoist boy Qingfeng looked around the streets, and the crowds were several times more than before. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shouting into the room.
