Chapter 656: Giant Bird Battles Qilin
That day, Qin Jun flew back to the Southern Domain’s celestial world with his civil and military high-ranking officials in tow, including a Daluo Golden Immortal who navigated the clouds, so the journey did not take very long.
Her Highness Shiji was once again left to guard Dilin Island.
Above the clouds, Qin Jun held Liu Ruolai closely by her waist as Daji, You Fenghuang, and Wang Xue stood behind him, while Zhu Yanqing continued her dedicated cultivation at Saint Sect Peak; among all the women, her pursuit of the Immortal Dao was the most resolute.
After consuming the Zijin Life-Extending Elixir, Liu Ruolai was still very weak, and her spiritual force was practically depleted, making her walk seem almost weightless.
"I wonder what kind of elixir Your Majesty has given Miss Liu to make her vital force seem fully restored, although she still needs rest to recover her physical strength." Bai Ze asked curiously, no longer daring to make any calculations about Qin Jun.
The others were also curious as they looked toward Qin Jun.
Elixirs that could extend life were incredibly precious, and in this world, alchemists were already rare, not to mention the scarcity of materials needed for life-extending elixirs, so their curiosity was natural.
Liu Ruolai also looked up at Qin Jun, to which he replied indifferently, "Secret."
Everyone was speechless but did not dare to inquire further.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to contact the Fate Pavilion?" You Fenghuang asked softly.
As a saintly concubine, she was also busy dealing with the affairs of the Great Qin Celestial Court, but she could no longer meddle in politics as before, so Qin Jun arranged for her to maintain contact with the Fate Pavilion. The information and resources controlled by the Fate Pavilion were vast, and the position was extraordinary, but You Fenghuang was his woman, whom he trusted.
