Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: With Rivers and Mountains as a Dowry, Become the Queen of Daqian

Huo Yuning stared at the two envoys, her eyes filled with inquisitive and obscure intentions.

She roughly guessed it must have been her mother who had instructed, which is why the black and white envoys kept their mouths tightly shut.

Huo Yuning frowned impatiently, clicking her tongue lightly, and pointed her finger at Yun Niang not far away.

"Here we have a rat spirit responsible for the lives of dozens of people. I can’t be bothered to interrogate her, so take her away and question her according to the procedure."

"Under the princess’s command!"

The black and white envoys rose to their feet, tying up Yun Niang, who had collapsed to the ground and was scared out of her wits, with the Nether Chains.

The envoys did not immediately leave with Yun Niang but instead turned and gave a slight bow to Xiao Jun’an sitting inside the building.

"Greetings to the Human Emperor."

After performing their salutations, they dragged Yun Niang into the thick black mist, and the two figures, one white and one black, quickly disappeared from view.

Inside, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.

However, the atmosphere was even more suffocating than before, and the quietness was somewhat excessive.

The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, convinced that the human soul was immortal, and they undoubtedly believed in the existence of the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the Underworld.

But these are things that the ignorant populace believes in. As the Emperor of Daqian, Xiao Jun’an had his own thoughts.

As the Human Emperor, he was all too aware of the methods of past rulers, understanding that these were merely means for those in power to manipulate the hearts of people.

Whenever natural disasters occurred, the Royal Family would choose to worship gods and buddhas, praying for peace and safety only to calm the public’s hearts.

Thus, Xiao Jun’an fundamentally disbelieved in ghosts and gods, even holding them in utter disdain.

The Capital City was troubled by evil spirits, and he could put it down to someone taking advantage of the situation to plot for greater benefits.

But today, having witnessed the rat spirit’s transformation and Huo Yuning’s display of bizarre abilities, summoning the rumored envoys of the Netherworld.

All this forced Xiao Jun’an to abandon thirty years of belief, and deep inside, he also possessed a profound dread of it all.

The trace of warmth that had appeared in his eyes vanished, his handsome face tensed, and his dark eyes stared intensely at Huo Yuning, trying to penetrate her beautiful exterior and see into the depths of her heart.

Huo Yuning fastened the Golden Whip at her waist and, in spite of Xiao Jun’an’s dangerous gaze, walked over and sat down beside him with composed steps.

She calmly poured herself a cup of tea and took a few sips. Turning her head towards Xiao Jun’an, she saw that his expression was dazed.

Seeing his lost expression, Huo Yuning laughed playfully: "Now, are you ready to agree to my terms?"

The so-called mixture of hard and soft tactics; only by instilling fear in one’s heart can she gain the upper hand in negotiations.

In Huo Yuning’s view, the ability to summon the black and white envoys and revealing her identity as the princess of the Netherworld should prevent the dog Emperor from taking advantage of her anymore.

Pity that although she had it well thought out, the reality turned out to be the exact opposite.

Xiao Jun’an’s eyes flickered and he quickly regained his composure, his gaze filled with a warm glow as he looked at the young girl sitting beside him.

"Beautiful Lady An, the State Preceptor once predicted that you are a distinguished individual for Daqian. If Lady An can help Daqian overcome its crisis, I am willing to offer the kingdom as a dowry and make you the queen of Daqian."

"Smack!"

The teacup in Huo Yuning’s hand fell onto the table.

Staring at the man sitting by her side in disbelief, her glassy eyes quickly filled with anger.

Huo Yuning held back the urge to clean her ears, asking incredulously, "What did you say?"

She wanted to cooperate with the dog Emperor; he, in turn, wanted her person.

Is this his way of selling her outright to the Royal Family?

What a dream!

Huo Yuning laughed mockingly, "Are you out of your mind? I’m helping you out of pity, you’re on the brink of becoming a fallen king, what gives you the audacity to negotiate terms with me?"
