Chapter 686: Anya's Thoughts, Guidance from the Empress
In the Imperial City, in the private quarters of the Empress Consort, Princess Anya, dressed in a white robe, was gently blowing on a cup of hot tea.
The Empress Consort spoke softly, “In the past six months, your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and His Majesty is very satisfied.”
“However, this Empress is curious – you used to be indifferent to cultivation, so why are you so passionate about it now?”
An unnatural look flashed in Anya’s eyes, but then she smiled and replied, “Mother is overthinking things. My approach to cultivation is no different than before.”
“It’s just that the world has changed a lot after the descent of Transcendence. By following my teacher’s guidance, my progress has naturally been faster than before.”
The Crown Prince beside her took a bite of a tea cake and sighed, “That’s right, it’s no different than before. These days, you don’t even bother with the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, leaving everything to me.”
“The last time I went to the palace to look for you, the servants told me that you were in the Heavenly Tower absorbing Primordial Immortal Qi, and you stayed there for three whole days and nights. Is that normal?”
“Especially when it comes to news about Qin Feng in the Southern Domain, your cultivation suddenly becomes so fervent…”
Before he could finish, Anya interrupted, “Brother, your tea has gone cold.”
