Chapter 1265: Chapter 451 Feng Wu Guard_3

He asked gently, “It is heartening that the Phoenix Clan has such intentions. What request does Marshal Kong have regarding the Heavenly Court? Feel free to speak.”

The Peacock Fairy said, “I have only one thought, and that is to be by His Majesty’s side as a trusted aide.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang and several Heavenly Court Ministers perked up, immediately understanding the implication.

The ministers fixed their gazes on this rumored Great Power, observing her graceful posture and charming beauty. She possessed the softness and allure of a woman, yet also displayed a sharpness and confidence uncommon to most women.

The Five-Colored Divine Light sweeps over all things, with the Great Power Kong Xuan steadying gods and demons.

Such a master proactively offering to become the Heavenly Emperor’s trusted aide…

Within the Lingxiao Hall, from ministers to celestial soldiers and the many fairies, their glances held a hint of ambiguity.

Li Ping’an was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, “Alright.”

The Peacock Fairy bowed her head, accepting the order: “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Li Ping’an said:

“The Heavenly Court has the Heavenly Fury Guards, most of whom are celestial slaves I rescued from the inner Heavenly Dao, and they are of the Hundred Clans.”

“There are many Heavenly Fury Guards, though they have several commanders, they lack a Great Power to oversee them.”

“Eastern King, today we establish the Feng Wu Guard, appointing Marshal Kong as the Great Commander of the Feng Wu Guard, to stand alongside the Heavenly Fury Guards. The Feng Wu Guard will guard the Lingxiao Palace and the Tong Ming Palace.”

Feng Qingyang stood up to accept the order: “As you command!”

The Peacock Fairy pondered for a moment and then said seriously, “Doesn’t His Majesty’s bedchamber need a trusted aide?”

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly.

The Peacock Fairy’s gaze was quite aggressive, having clearly fixed on a certain goal, and would stop at nothing to achieve it.

Li Ping’an said, “I do not have a bedchamber for now, I am just residing in the Jade Pool, which has the Queen Mother overseeing it. Do not worry, beloved official.”

The Peacock Fairy asked again, “Then where does His Majesty usually cultivate?”

“Above the Ninth Heaven!”

Li Ping’an got up and said:

“Let’s leave it at that for today. Eastern King, do your best to accommodate the requests of the two marshals. I shall go attend to some important matters first. Do not keep them waiting!”

Feng Qingyang blinked, understanding the Heavenly Emperor’s intentions.

The Peacock Fairy was about to speak, but Li Ping’an had already turned into a stream of light and vanished.

The Peacock Fairy pursed her lips slightly, turning to glare at the Roc Bird, who was secretly laughing beside her. The latter quickly straightened up and looked straight ahead.

She said nothing more, instead letting her gaze fall on a corner of the Lingxiao Palace, frowning slightly.

There, a White Jade Dragon Egg was trembling gently.

Trembling with a hint of fear.

…

Li Ping’an, who had gone directly to the Xu family’s residence, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What is this Peacock trying to do? Planning to force herself on him at the first opportunity? This matched Li Ping’an’s perception of the personality of the Peacock Fairy’s past self.

However, how was he supposed to acquire the innate Five Elements Qi?

‘Just forcefully get it, there’s no other way.’

Li Ping’an shook his head, reenergizing himself, strolling through the newly built ‘research center,’ searching for traces of the Xu family father and son.

This place had more than a thousand artifact refiners and alchemists, with numerous palaces and pavilions, everywhere bustling with activity. Crafting masters could be seen arguing passionately.

The academic atmosphere was incredibly rich.

“Your Majesty? What brings you here!”

Xu Sheng’s loud voice sounded from ahead, and Yun Zhongzi, who was lecturing a group of old Immortals in a palace, paused and laughed while stroking his beard.

‘It’s comfortable here, no pressure.’

Li Ping’an marveled inwardly, deciding to choose this place for his upcoming retreat.

“Everyone, please continue your work, don’t mind me. I’m just roaming around, here to listen to Teacher Yun Zhongzi’s lecture.”

The craftsmen saluted individually, not indulging in pleasantries, and continued with their work.

They were long accustomed to such visits.

Li Ping’an left the challenging Peacock Fairy for the Eastern King to handle, believing all was well. However, he underestimated the gossiping nature of the Heavenly Court’s divinities and also underestimated the various reactions to the matter.

[Great Power Kong Xuan divides Yin and Yang, enters the Heavenly Court intending to become the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Companion].

This kind of news rapidly spread across the Human Race lands.
