So the little black dragon and the emperor both looked at the girl carefully again.

Fengqin was kneeling on the ground with a rather silly grin on his face, clearly a Tang Clan disciple who had suffered from malnutrition since childhood.

I was practically drooling.

It's really hard to associate him with some cunning old fox!

"Remember, never judge a book by its cover."

This isn't a question of whether or not to judge a book by its cover, is it?!

Fengqin, who is cowardly from beginning to end, lacks intelligence, is dull-witted, timid, submissive, obsequious, sycophantic, servile, cowardly and incompetent, and despite her good looks, is actually a coward with countless soft bones and joints, is a cunning old fox.

It's like taking a guy with a broken leg to play soccer and then putting him in goal, telling him not to judge a book by its cover.

Physical defects and diseases that are easily visible have nothing to do with judging people by their appearance!

Just like seeing a whip and thinking of farmers, black people, and cotton, this is a normal association, not prejudice, much less discrimination...

"What should we do then?" the little black dragon asked in a low voice.

“Taking the initiative to ask will only make you look bad,” Ziyuan sneered. “You have to keep the pace firmly in your own hands and not be led by the nose.”

The little black dragon looked at his father with admiration, "Father, you are so amazing! You are indeed omnipotent!"

"So how should we ask?" The Emperor pondered for a moment. "Should we approach it indirectly? I can do that for you."

Although she was the last emperor, she didn't really think she was anything special.

However, she felt she had some experience in guiding the conversation.

Unexpectedly, Ziyuan shook her head, "You are still too inexperienced. You will probably give yourself away as soon as you open your mouth. When communicating with this kind of cultivator, you must be tactful and ask questions from the side. You can't do without some art of communication. The best way is to hide your purpose and let the other party take the initiative to say it."

Both the little black dragon and the emperor nodded in deep agreement.

After all, it involved the information gap between the upper and lower levels. When the emperor heard this, he felt that the current situation was not the same as the court situation back then, and he did not dare to confidently help. So he quietly watched his master operate.

But then she saw Ziyuan gazing confidently and calmly at the blankly playing organ:

"Tell me, what do you want to exchange for Lu Ya's information?"

Both the little black dragon and the emperor staggered, almost losing their balance and falling inside Ziyuan's body!

Yuan's body was like a vast universe, and they sat atop a golden elixir that resembled the sun. The little black dragon flapped its wings and cried out first, "Where is the subtlety!"

But the organ was still staring blankly at Shion, "Huh? Change what?"

"What do you want in exchange for revealing Lu Ya's whereabouts?"

The emperor also covered his forehead.

I realize how foolish I was to actually be genuinely looking forward to Shion's negotiation skills...

But then the organ player on the other end suddenly became excited, "Really, really can we exchange Lu Ya's information for something?"

Ziyuan sneered, but in her heart she said to the mother and daughter, "See? This is the art of speaking. It can save you a lot of trouble."

The little black dragon had its head pressed down by the emperor, and the two of them nodded repeatedly.

"Watch carefully, learn well, and remember my response so that you won't be embarrassed when facing the superior in the future."

After giving her a long and earnest plea, Ziyuan continued speaking to Fengqin, "If you don't talk, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"

Fengqin immediately raised her hand excitedly, "Then, then when I kowtow, Miss Ziyuan mustn't be angry!"

"..."

In the ensuing silence, the little black dragon still asked in a low voice, "Boss, is she really just pretending to be cute?"

She coughed, but Ziyuan ignored her and just looked at Fengqin, then nodded after examining her for a moment.

"Okay."

Fengqin, without suspecting anything, immediately said, "I met Sister Lu Ya at Chongxu before. Later, I had to come back to save the world with everyone, so I parted ways with Sister Lu Ya. But that was a long, long time ago. I don't know if Sister Lu Ya is still in Chongxu..."

What are you going to do at Chongxu?

"The technology to piece together the world was obtained from Chongxu," Fengqin said without reservation. "As long as you have money, you can buy anything in Chongxu!"

Is it really the upper realm?

Ziyuan then asked about Chongxu, but as she asked, it turned out to have nothing to do with Lu Ya.

The little black dragon, listening nearby, paced anxiously, "Why aren't you asking about Lu Ya's mother anymore?"

The emperor shook his head and sighed.

"Is it possible that she didn't really care about Lu Ya's affairs from the beginning?"

"That's so cold-hearted! Lu Ya's mother likes her so much and has done so many things for her..."

After a moment of silence, the Emperor suddenly asked, "Do you think Jiang Si has wronged Lu Ya?"

The little black dragon was stunned. It had been flying around anxiously in circles, but suddenly became quiet.

Ziyuan only cares about the people who have stayed by her side long enough.

Lu Ya's biggest problem right now is that she and Zi Yuan have been separated for too long.

Moreover, both the little black dragon and the emperor knew one thing.

That initial kick effectively settled all grudges between the two sides, and unless there were further interactions—Shion probably didn't really care about it.

Even though Lu Ya was Zi Yuan's only friend at the time, the two hadn't known each other for very long, and they had been separated for a long time afterward. To be honest, if Zi Yuan hadn't seen Lu Ya in her mind a few times, she probably would have forgotten that such a person even existed.

Later, Lu Ya may have really done a lot, but that really had nothing to do with Zi Yuan.

The little black dragon, who had been excitedly searching for its mother, suddenly became depressed. "Mommy, she'll be so sad..."

The Emperor patted her head. "It's alright. Now that we know it's in Chongxu, we'll have plenty of opportunities to look for it. Once we find it, with our past relationship, if we get along well, we'll reconcile soon."

The little black dragon immediately perked up and nodded vigorously.

"There's more."

The Emperor suddenly chuckled mischievously, "You both call me 'Mom,' but between me and Lu Ya, who is the better mother? There has to be a distinction between first and last, right?"

The little black dragon suddenly felt a chill run down its spine. "Just as good, just as good!"

The mischievous smile gradually took on a slightly oppressive tone. "Isn't that a bit much? I've given so much, and the result is only as good as Lu Ya's. If Lu Ya came back and spent a little more time with you, wouldn't she be better off than me?"

The little black dragon was a little out of breath!

"No, absolutely not! Now, Mother Empress is better!"

"Hmm." The Emperor chuckled. "I'll brag about it to Lu Ya later."

"No!"

……

The chaotic world was as silent and lifeless as a tomb.

The shattered stars fluttered like leaves, but there was mostly darkness, an endless expanse of darkness that seemed to have no end.

Relying on her connection with the Dragon Lord Ziyuan, she kept adjusting her direction, not knowing how long she had been flying.

It might take several days.

The only way to reach Chongxu is to cross it from the hyperspace, that's what the accordion initially said—until after defeating the Mirror King, Shion discovered that this chaotic interlayered space seemed to be infinitely large.

"How can I get to Chongxu from the interlayer space? No, no..."

The organ's head wriggled on the ground. "No, it's too far. I don't know how long it will take. The best way is to fully open it and then go to the highest level of the world, [hyperspace]..."

"Then I'll open it at full bloom now."

"No, if you fully open it now, the new world will become fragmented..."

When I came to my senses, the sound of the accordion crying and kowtowing seemed to still be there beside me.

The flow of time outside the world seems to be different from that below, but fortunately she controls the Three Corpses, so she is not worried about getting lost or having accidents.

At worst, I can disintegrate my body and recreate an immortal form.

With her consciousness divided into three, she dealt with the rock candy below while discussing the wedding groomsmen.

He learned about various things about Chongxu from Fengqin.

I didn't find it boring at all. I was thinking about how to find Coco and arrange things for her so that I could concentrate on ascending to heaven.

The boundless space ahead suddenly flickered.

The chaotic interlayer, which was originally so dark that it was impossible to tell which way was which, suddenly burst out with dazzling light!

When you close your eyes, you can hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The witch Shion did not hesitate at all.

The moment I opened my eyes, a vast expanse of ink-black demonic mist spread out before me, simultaneously giving rise to countless blood-red lotus flames that formed the eighteen levels of hell—

[Chaotic Qi]! [Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire]!

Chaos grinds the physical body, karmic fire burns the soul; at this moment, she transforms her worldly thoughts into endless karmic fire.

The deeper the karma, the more intense the destruction!

It was as if Emperor Ye Tiandi was refining his body and mind with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!

What a huge fire!

What a terrible crime!

I never imagined that saving the world and protecting people with an open and honest heart would be considered such a sin in the eyes of Heaven!

Today, let us defy the heavens once again!

The moment the thought arose, magical power surged wildly, gathering into a vast thundercloud above his head.

[Chaotic Lightning Tribulation]!

The might of Heaven, vast and boundless, brought with it the terrifying prospect of annihilation.

In an instant, the ascension lightning struck down on him like a waterfall!

The reason I didn't undergo tribulation before was simply because I didn't know when I would be able to find a place to ascend.

What if the harp's directions are wrong, and there is no upper realm in this direction? Wouldn't I have wasted my time undergoing the tribulation?
