The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

What exactly is this thing?

The civil and military officials, led by Hu Weiyong, were staring blankly and in shock at the overwhelming figure.

These people, though they don't do anything particularly productive on a regular basis, are undeniably among the best of all scholars in the world.

The Analects, which they learn from a young age, tells them—"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!"

But what's going on now?

Sage, please explain this to me.

What the hell do you mean by surprise!

It wasn't just the people inside the palace.

When Zhu Ming used a magnifying lamp to enlarge his entire body 100 times.

He transformed into an 80-meter-tall giant!

Keep in mind that Ultraman Tiga is only 53 meters tall, and he is now almost half a body taller than Ultraman Tiga.

Inside the city, the vendors, the patrolling constables, and even the customers in the brothels all stopped what they were doing and rushed outside, kneeling and gazing at the giant before them.

Huh? You're asking them why they're kneeling?

I don't know.

My legs are completely unresponsive!

Everyone was filled with fear and wondered who this giant was.

Only Empress Ma noticed that something was wrong.

She had just heard the giant call out—"Sister Miaoyun."

She had only ever heard this title from Ming'er.

Immediately afterwards, Empress Ma's gaze fell on the eighty-meter-tall giant, and she felt a sense of surprise and doubt.

Because the clothes the giant was wearing were exactly the same as the clothes she had stayed up all night sewing for Ming'er.

There are countless garments in the world, but the needlework and fabric patterns are unique to her; there is no other like it!

At this moment, all the strange phenomena and all the earth-shattering power were forgotten.

She paid no heed to any talk of divine intervention or malevolent spirits descending upon the mortal realm.

Empress Ma immediately stopped hesitating, lifted her skirt, and ran straight towards the direction where the giant stood.

This terrified Yu'er, who immediately cried out, "Your Highness, it's dangerous ahead! Don't go!"

After saying that, Yu'er rushed forward, trying to stop Empress Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was slumped on the ground, was so frightened by the giant that his legs went weak and he dared not move.

But when he saw Empress Ma charging straight towards the giant alone...

At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about being afraid or not. He sprang up from the ground and ran wildly towards the girl.

As soon as the emperor moved, the guards and eunuchs behind him also moved.

And so this peculiar scene was created.

Empress Ma ran ahead, with Yu'er chasing behind, followed by Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally a group of eunuchs and guards.

After laughing enough, Zhu Ming planned to experience the power of his transformed state.

But when he glanced down casually, he caught sight of Empress Ma and her entourage running towards them.

Zhu Ming was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Oh no, if Mom catches me, I'm sure I'll get a scolding.

Zhu Ming frantically pulled a magnifying lamp from his pocket, and luckily, as he grew larger, the magnifying lamp also grew larger.

Otherwise, if he wants to return to his original state, he will have to wait ten minutes.

A moment later, a flash of light appeared.

Zhu Ming's body shrank rapidly, returning to its original size in no time.

Having returned to normal, Zhu Ming did not feel any discomfort in his body. He immediately started walking with his short legs, preparing to find a place to hide.

But before he could even reach the door,

He was caught red-handed by Empress Ma, who rushed in.

"Zhu Ming, you stop right there!"

Zhu Ming's body suddenly stopped, one foot dangling in mid-air, as if he had been frozen in place by Sun Wukong's magic, and dared not fall.

Look at his timid, cowardly, and nervous appearance; where is the awe-inspiring and domineering aura he displayed just moments ago when he transformed into an eighty-meter giant, overlooking the entire capital and intimidating millions of soldiers and civilians?

When Empress Ma rushed to his side.

Zhu Ming stiffly turned around, tilted his young face up, and said with an innocent expression, "Mother, what a coincidence! I was just about to go and pay my respects to you."

Empress Ma did not respond.

Instead, they first examined Zhu Ming's body.

They thoroughly inspected everything, from top to bottom and inside to outside.

Even to check if Zhu Ming was injured?

In desperation, Empress Ma even planned to strip him naked and examine him thoroughly.

Fortunately, Zhu Ming intervened and prevented him from being stripped naked.

"Mother, I'm already six years old, I'm not a child anymore, you can't treat me like this!" Zhu Ming covered his clothes with both hands, his little face flushed with embarrassment.

Empress Ma said, "Even if you're a hundred years old, you're still my child. Besides, you're only six. What's there to be shy about? Come here and let your mother check you out!"

Zhu Ming shook his head desperately, displaying an attitude of preferring death to surrender.

Seeing this, Empress Ma had no choice but to give up for the time being.

But then she remembered the colossal giant that had blotted out the sky and immediately asked seriously.

"Ming'er, tell your mother the truth, was that giant you in disguise?"

At this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang also arrived at the scene just in time.

At this moment, he was filled with doubts.

Why did the girl suddenly run towards the giant?

Why did that giant suddenly disappear?

Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard Empress Ma say those words.

Zhu Yuanzhang abruptly stopped, his face filled with astonishment and horror. He turned his head sharply, staring intently at his youngest son.

What does that mean?

Was that giant just now Ming'er in disguise?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The very next second, Zhu Yuanzhang was slapped in the face!

"It was me who changed. I'm sorry, Mother. I didn't mean to scare you."

Zhu Ming lowered her head, her two small hands clasped together, her soft voice carrying a hint of apology.

When Zhu Ming admitted it himself.

A tremendous wave surged through Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and the overwhelming impact caused him to stagger backward several steps.

Although Empress Ma had already suspected it in her heart

But even after hearing the child admit that the giant he had just seen was him in disguise, he was still too shocked to speak.

"Ming'er, how did you do that? Did your divine master teach you?"

"That's right, Mother is so smart! It's the unique supernatural power that my master taught me, called the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, which can make my body this big!" Zhu Ming quickly stretched out his two little hands and gestured vigorously.

The size he gestured was completely different from his actual size after his transformation!

Zhu Ming did not intend to keep it from Empress Ma.

If Empress Ma were the only one present, he would certainly have told the truth.

But unfortunately, there was also Zhu Chongba next to him.

If he tells the truth, Old Zhu will overhear it.

Given his personality, he would definitely try to snatch the magnifying lamp from Zhu Ming's hands.

After all, he may not understand others, but how could he not understand Lao Zhu!

Old Zhu: Son, you can't handle this, let your dad do it!
