Chapter 2658: Two Kings and Three Respects
Bi Linglong had been at her limit. She'd been planning to do a quick customary check before returning to rest, lest she make a fool of herself.
But as time passed, she felt a warm surge of energy rising from her abdomen before diffusing into her limbs and marrows. Incredibly pure natural ki nourished all her meridians, causing her cells to buzz to life. Her exhaustion faded, and she even felt as if her cultivation had advanced a level. She was initially startled, but she soon realized what had happened and blushed.
Ah Zu, as the world’s master, was worthy of being called a god. The things he had in his body were probably more effective than the treasures and spirit springs that cultivators fought over.
She bit her lips. Now that there’s such a function to him too, those vixens will be sticking to him all day long. That made her jealous.
This was the first time the soldiers, who were used to Bi Linglong’s regal air, saw her coy side. Her peachy skin and her vibrant plum blossom mark complemented each other, causing many to stare at her in a daze. Even Zhang Zitong, who had been jealous the entire night, had to concede that Bi Linglong was truly beautiful. Even a woman would be mesmerized by her, let alone that philandering regent.
“Commander Zhang, have you found Concubine Bai’s son?” Bi Linglong suddenly asked while walking on the street.
“Yes. We ambushed one of the Shadow Group’s hideouts in accordance with the regent’s intelligence. The place was heavily guarded by the Shadow Group’s assassins, but the regent provided us with their defense layout. We would be unworthy of being your imperial guards if we still failed at that mission.”
Bi Linglong gestured for others to distance themselves with a wave of her hand. She looked intently at Zhang Zitong before saying, “Commander Zhang, you mentioned the regent several times in your report. I can sense your deep admiration for him. Are you fond of the regent?”
Zhang Zitong’s heart thumped furiously. Oh no, is the empress jealous? Is she going to eliminate potential rivals now?
It was normal for consorts and concubines to scheme against each other and even poison imperial offspring.
