Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

From the moment Su Liang made his move until the end, even the Grand Elder didn't have time to unleash his full potential.

It ended too quickly!

However, it should be noted that not only did Su Liang undergo a transformation through dual cultivation, but his combat awareness and skills, under Ning Zhexian's guidance, have also progressed to an impeccable level.

Since you underestimated your opponent and were careless, how could we possibly give you a chance to react?

The attack appeared calm and casual, but in reality, it was a calculated move that had been brewing for some time.

Act according to the trend!

The Grand Elder's defeat was entirely justified.

How much worse is he compared to Ning Zhexian?

Su Liang was someone even this ice-cold fairy admired.

Then.

After dealing with the Grand Elder, Su Liang encountered no further obstacles on his journey.

Perhaps because they had been out of the public eye for too long, or perhaps because the previous battle had instilled fear in everyone, their journey was remarkably smooth.

During his leisurely time, he decided to calm down and start to consider what he had gained.

Su Liang, now guided by the Ziwei Emperor Star, has achieved the opening of his life palace, a transformation akin to an earth-shattering change.

In that brief test of skill, relying on the unpredictable and powerful Divine Emperor Ice Flame, which merged with the Ice Profound Dao Body, he annihilated the Celestial Master Dao Grand Elder of the Nine Wheels of the Life Palace.

This also gave him a high degree of confidence in his own strength, believing that even the strongest experts at the peak of the Life Palace would be no match for him.

In addition, there are a series of methods such as "Gods and Demons Are Not Me" and "Slaying Martial Arts Formation".

Even a master at the Profound Realm might be able to fight.

Excited, Su Liang shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it; returning to the capital as soon as possible was the most important thing.

With no obstacles along the way and fewer annoying flies, Su Liang quickly returned to the capital.

However, the Qin Dynasty was not peaceful at this time, and there was even a heavy atmosphere of impending storm.

There's no other reason than that His Majesty is seriously ill and on the verge of death!

Prior to this, His Majesty had suffered from chronic illnesses on several occasions, and this time he even vomited blood and fainted in the court.

The consequences were predictable.

The once peaceful imperial city was suddenly rife with undercurrents.

Inside the Princess's residence.

Jun Hongyan looked slightly tired. She had just stepped off the carriage when she happened to see Su Liang returning.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, saying nothing more; everything was understood without being spoken.

Although they only exchanged a glance and did not speak, they both knew what the other was thinking.

I am back.

Welcome back.

Warm and harmonious.

but!

All of this happened just before the two passed each other. The instant they passed each other, Jun Hongyan stopped and immediately frowned.

She turned and glared in Su Liang's direction, sniffing the air, and asked her first question after seeing him.

Where does the fragrance on your body come from?

It's a very unfamiliar smell, and quite strong... What have you been up to lately?!

Chapter 100 Prehistoric Overturning

The moment Su Liang uttered that question, his mind immediately became unsettled.

Looking at Jun Hongyan's expression, he stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

How did this woman's nose get so long?

When he returned, he had already washed himself several times and was covered in sweat.

Under such circumstances, how could Jun Hongyan still smell a woman's fragrance?

But before Jun Hongyan could press him for answers, and just as Su Liang was at a loss, Su Lian had already come out from the depths of the mansion to greet him.

Upon seeing Su Liang, she ran straight into his arms.

After rubbing her forehead against Su Liang's chest for a while, she whispered a call.

"Brother Su, why are you only coming back now?"

Outside the Princess's residence, a carriage slowly came to a stop.

Princess Jun Ruoxue's beautiful figure appeared in the Princess's residence.

Upon seeing the three people in the courtyard, Su Liang's figure immediately appeared in the crowd.

He even laughed and said, disregarding Jun Hongyan's reaction.

"Brother-in-law, you came back this time and didn't even say you'd come to see me. I had to come to you in person."

Su Liang dared not respond to Jun Ruoxue's words. Jun Hongyan was right beside him, and if he dared to speak nonsense, he would definitely not have a good ending.

However, the arrival of these two women helped Su Liang temporarily avert disaster.

Jun Hongyan couldn't possibly continue to interrogate him in front of these women, could she?

The group of people entered the main hall.

Not long after, the military genius Donghuang Yiren came to visit.

Surrounded by women, he began to tell Su Liang about some of the things that had happened recently.

After circling around Su Liang several times, Su Lian hugged Su Liang's arm tightly and looked up as she spoke.

“Brother Su, Lian’er won’t hold you back now. Next time you go out, you must take Lian’er with you.”

"Really? Come, Lian'er, let me see what you've accomplished these past few days."

Su Liang raised his hand and stroked Su Lian's forehead, his gaze seemingly waiting for Su Lian to make a move.

Su Lian then released Su Liang's arm and earnestly showed Su Liang the results of her cultivation over the past few days.

Amidst the praise, Su Liang felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him.

Following those eyes, Su Liang saw the white-haired Liuli, who, while bustling about, glanced over Su Liang's body.

Su Liang naturally didn't hold a grudge against Liu Li. When he looked back, he happened to see Jun Ruoxue clinging to Jun Hongyan's side, whispering something to each other.

When she met Su Liang's gaze, a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes, yet she still managed to give Su Liang a smile.

After the two talked for a while, Jun Ruoxue also came to Su Liang's side.

Jun Ruoxue coughed lightly, raised an eyebrow at Su Liang, and said solemnly.

"Ahem, brother-in-law, when I came in earlier, I think I smelled something on you, a...

An unusual flavor.

"The scent is very faint, but we women are very familiar with it. So, brother-in-law, why don't you tell us whose fragrance it is?"

Upon hearing Jun Ruoxue's words, Su Liang realized that the thing he feared most was about to happen before his eyes.

He quickly waved his hand and explained.

"Oh, no, you might be imagining things."

"On my way back, I was covered in sweat and stench, so there was no fragrance at all."

This explanation clearly wouldn't fool Jun Ruoxue.

But Jun Ruoxue only glared at Su Liang with an extremely strange look before turning back to look in Jun Hongyan's direction, then sniffed and continued.

"My sister smelled it too, brother-in-law, you'd better just tell the truth."

"It might be you..."

Su Liang tried to argue, but things didn't go as planned. Su Lian, who was standing next to him, immediately betrayed him.

Su Lian blinked and cautiously approached Su Liang, still appearing harmless, but her words were clear enough for everyone in the hall to hear.

"Brother Su, I smelled that too."

Su Liang glanced down at Su Lian, his composure instantly crumbling.

Is this karma? My beloved little sister Lian'er, whom I raised with such care, turned out to be an ingrate at the crucial moment, betraying me and biting me in the back.

If it were just one or two people, Su Liang could still try to fool them, but now, he saw Donghuang Yiren nodding heavily under everyone's gaze.

These women are not easy to deal with!

Surrounded by women, Su Liang thought he could enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives.

Unexpectedly, things went wrong at the crucial moment.

He was completely bewildered and had no idea how to resolve the current crisis.

Therefore, he looked at Jun Hongyan without any hope, but Jun Hongyan looked away.

He then looked at Liuli, who had put down her busy work and was already standing beside Jun Hongyan, her stance very clear: this woman was not to be relied upon anyway.

In the end, Su Liang could only look in the direction of Donghuang Yiren.

But before Su Liang's gaze had even fallen, Donghuang Yiren smiled and spoke to the crowd.

“I observe that my younger brother Su has made progress in his cultivation; he is now at the Life Palace Realm.”

"Some ancient books record that some exceptionally talented people will have a unique fragrance emanating from their bodies when they break through to the Life Palace Realm."

"This fragrance is imperceptible to the person themselves, but others can quickly identify it."

When Donghuang Yiren finished speaking, the eyes of the other women all turned to her.

The Eastern War God of the Great Qin Dynasty would never lie.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Donghuang Yiren continued speaking.
