While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

When the time was up, the grandmasters all sat down.

Everyone had their own agenda, but no one dared to utter a sound. If they attracted the Queen's attention and she gave them a chronological gaze, their little schemes would be exposed.

"Today's morning court session is mainly to welcome the envoys. If no one has anything to report, let's begin."

Just as Mu Qingyao, who was sitting in chair number two, was about to stand up, the envoy was summoned into the hall. Wang Xuehua, who was sitting in chair number three, said, "I have a small matter to report to the Queen."

"Master Wang, please speak."

"The pirates of the East China Sea killed five or six of my husbands, and more than a dozen of my descendants. I just received a call saying they've found traces of them, and I might not be able to make it to Valhalla..."

"No!" the Queen replied decisively.

"Grandmaster Ye Jian saved your life, and Sun Changqing also treated you. This time, under the witness of the Grandmasters of the five great empires of Blue Star, we will put Sun Changqing's memorial tablet in. How can it be done without you?"

"But what if those pirates escape..."

"If those pirates escape, I'll use my Time Gaze technique on the East China Sea to locate them. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuehua immediately fell silent.

She insisted on leaving early, of course, to go home and prepare for the rebellion.

The Queen's gaze revealed all of this.

No matter how strong she is, she can't withstand the combined attack of eight grandmasters.

"Let's talk about it after the memorial ceremony."

The Queen ignored her and looked at Mu Qingyao instead. "Let's begin."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mu Qingyao stood up and called out towards the outside of the hall, "Summon the envoys from the four kingdoms to an audience."

The Yaoguang Guards standing at the door also shouted, "Summon the envoys from the four kingdoms to enter the palace for an audience."

Soon, the four grandmasters from the Three Lions Empire, the White Eagle Empire, the King Serpent Empire, and the Giant Bear Empire entered with eight contestants vying for the bride's hand in marriage.

"Greetings, King Jinglong."

"You four ambassadors, please excuse your formalities and take your seats," Murong Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you, King Jinglong, for your grace."

The four grandmasters sat down, while the eight juniors stood on both sides, secretly observing Murong Yan.

The Queen exudes the charm of an oriental beauty, sweet and clean; Princess Murong Wan'er should be no less so.

Although the five great empires are currently competing in the North and East Sea, frantically vying for cultivation resources, Murong Yan's goal is to help her husband Yang Ding unify Blue Star, so she is very polite to the Grandmasters.

A Grandmaster's life is worth hundreds of billions or even trillions. If you can avoid killing him, then do so; if you can utilize him, then utilize him.

"After the court session, everyone may board their respective ships and proceed to the Hall of Heroes. Wan'er's martial arts contest for marriage will be held after the ceremony, under the witness of the human heroes, to select the best husband for her."

"The battle will be decided before nightfall today, and the wedding can be held in the royal city tomorrow, where the couple will enter the bridal chamber."

The martial arts grandmaster of the King Serpent Empire stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "May I ask Your Majesty and all the grandmasters, if our young people win the right to marry, will there be any extra conditions or deliberate obstacles? After all, it is a life-or-death struggle. If you are not sincere, there is no need to take this risk."

"The only condition is that when your princess is married, men from Jinglong Kingdom can also compete for her hand in marriage. This was an agreement made to maintain friendly relations and avoid killing each other among humans."

"Of course, what else?"

"No, if you're so capable, defeat Jinglong and take my daughter away."

A bearded man from the King Serpent Empire looked at the queen's stunning beauty with a smug expression.

His name is Agni, and he is not a young man, but a fire-type master who is over a hundred years old.

Because his sister was the Queen of the King Serpent Empire, he had been feigning death and had never participated in the Cataclysmic War, so no one knew his true strength.

After the cataclysmic war, he reappeared as his sister's son and is now a prince of the King Serpent Empire.

After the court session, the nineteen Grandmasters and the envoys from the four countries went to the dock and boarded their respective ships, while Yang Ding and his wives boarded Mu Qingyao's ship.

Not many people knew them, yet they swaggered around freely.

Today, Mu Qingyao is leading the Yaoguang Guards to escort the Queen, so her ship is right behind the Queen's large ship, followed closely by a hundred Yaoguang Guard ships.

Then came the ships of the Grandmaster and the envoys from the four countries.

Finally, and in the largest number, were the outstanding soldiers selected by the Jinglong Empire.

Mu Qingyao walked to Yang Ding's side, "The Queen must have been very satisfied last night."

How do you know?

"You look great, your skin is so hydrated. It seems you really know how to handle women."

"You flatter me, Fourth Wife. You look great too."

"Shameless! Who's your fourth wife?"

"After winning today's match, I will petition the Queen to let us get married, so that all the heroes of the world can see how awesome I, Yang Ding, am."

"You think I, a Grandmaster, am just someone you can use to show off?"

Do you agree or disagree?

"I will obey the Queen."

This time, Mu Qingyao did not resist. After all, marrying the Queen was not a bad thing for her status as a Grandmaster.

She's given him enough face, and the baby's already born, so he can just go ahead and get married.

"Oh, by the way, the Queen wants you to bring your wives to meet her, since they'll be sisters from now on."

"You should go too."

"Go ahead."

Yang Ding led his wives back to the awning, activated his spatial teleportation, and connected to the Queen's super ship.

The royal ship is also made of wood. With Mu Qingyao present, it is indestructible and no one can assassinate it.

The Queen, dressed in her solemn crown, sat upright in her chair, awaiting Yang Ding's arrival. She attached great importance to this meeting.

Sitting next to her was Princess Murong, disguised as Liuli. She was wearing a white military uniform and a silver mask. She was petite, so you couldn't tell her age.

Ye Rou, Fang Jing, and Zhou Ruoxi passed through one after another, and they were all a little nervous when they saw the Queen.

Although this was their second meeting, the last time the Queen visited Gangneung University, she was dressed in a casual school uniform, looking like an 18-year-old student, a completely different demeanor from her current one.

"Ye Rou greets Her Majesty the Queen."

"Fang Jing greets Her Majesty the Queen."

"Zhou Ruoxi greets Her Majesty the Queen."

As Yang Ding hesitated about whether to kneel, the Queen spoke up, "You are my husband, you do not need to kneel."

"By the way, where is your sister Ye Ke?" the Queen asked.

Ye Rou quickly replied, "My sister said that she is not my husband's wife and it is not appropriate for her to come along."

The Queen glanced at Yang Ding and said, "Let her come over."

"what?"

Ye Rou turned to look at Yang Ding and asked him what he thought.

Yang Ding spread his hands, pretending to be confused.

"Let's listen to the Queen's opinion."

Ye Rou had no choice but to stand up, cross the spatial passage, and pull Ye Ke, who was comforting the child, over.

Ye Ke was completely dumbfounded.

"Ye Ke greets Her Majesty the Queen."

"Raise your head."

The Queen remained gentle in tone, but there was an indescribable solemnity in her voice.

It forces you to respect her.

Ye Ke raised her head and met the Queen's gaze openly.

"Your mother and I are best friends. Her book, 'The Theory of Human Evolution,' was written in collaboration with me."

"Ke'er doesn't know much about this."

She was a junior in front of the Queen, so referring to herself as Ke'er was perfectly appropriate.
