"This servant deserves to die!" Dong Fangxiao spoke hastily, "To report to the Empress, at the sa ti this servant received the news, the Supernatural Detective Agency had already annihilated all of the Corpse Puppet Gu."
"Li Muyun?"
The Empress’s voice deepened imdiately, and a heart-throbbing, eerie energy ripple spread through the spacious room of the villa.
"Yes, it’s Li Muyun who personally led the team to burn all the Corpse Puppet Gu cultivated by that zombie." Fearful of the Empress’s wrath, Dong Fangxiao quickly added, "However, that Fei Zheng took advantage of the chaos to escape with a wooden box. From his expressions and actions, it seed that he had achieved his goal."
The Empress hadn’t ntioned the Supernatural Detective Agency at all, her voice slightly more relaxed than before, "What’s in that wooden box?"
"The Empress forgives, this servant is incompetent, and truly unable to investigate the contents of the box."
With a wave of her hand, the Empress said lightly, "Enough, this matter doesn’t concern much after all. Let Li Muyun and that little girl fight it out, watching their struggle is far better than these utterly boring TV dramas!"
Dong Fangxiao bowed her head in silence, her face revealing a hesitant expression.
"Is there sothing else on your mind?"
"To respond to the Empress, this servant doesn’t know if this matter should be ntioned, perhaps in the eyes of the Empress, it has nothing to do with our Imperial Alliance."
"Speak."
"Yes. According to the news from Wu Xiu, Liu Bai, the rightful eldest grandson of the Liu Family Clan in Yenjing, has been frequently interacting with an overseas organization recently. It seems they are brewing a huge conspiracy."
The Empress’s brow lifted, "Indeed, it has nothing to do with the Imperial Alliance. What is that Liu Bai? A nobody?"
"To the Empress, Liu Bai is not a nobody."
"Oh? Explain."
"He’s rely a young master who misbehaves by relying on his family’s power. Publicly he’s touted as one of the Four Young Masters of Capital, but in our view, he’s rely playing house like a child."
"Really?"
Seeing the Empress’s suspicion, Dong Fangxiao promptly explained, "Of course, the reality is not that simple. If we’re only talking about Liu Bai, he’s just a buffoon. However, the overseas organization he has been in contact with has a long history of cris. They even planned an assassination on the President of Arica, and its mbers are all heinous villains. Moreover, each of these villains possesses unique superpowers, including very rare spatial abilities."
Dong Fangxiao paused, then continued, "They always operate in gangs and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."
"Interesting," the Empress mused briefly and asked, "When do you think these people will make a move against Li Muyun?"
"It should be in the near future."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eerie energy ripple in the room dissipated into nothingness, and the Empress slowly descended to the ground.
"Thirteen."
"This servant is here."
"Send a missive to Luanfeng Pavilion and have Wu Qiyi bring Zhao’er along. Tomorrow morning we shall board the plane together."
Dong Fangxiao was taken aback, "This servant is dull, may I know where the Empress plans to take them?"
"I’ve heard there’s an island near the Australian continent called New Zealand. With its lush vegetation and waters, it’s a perfect vacation paradise."
"New Zealand?" Dong Fangxiao was utterly astonished, unable to understand what had prompted the Empress to have such a thought, "Isn’t Your Majesty’s schedule already arranged? According to the original plan, we were to embark for Suzhou the day after tomorrow."
"We’re not going anymore. Suzhou, after a thousand years without change, can spare a few days."
Dong Fangxiao felt a trendous headache coming on. Not to ntion convincing Zhao’er, who was hardly soone she could persuade, Wu Qiyi was the reincarnation of an Empress, and a re missive was unlikely to get any attention from her.
"What are you worrying about?" The Empress’s voice ca like a huge mountain pressing down on Dong Fangxiao, who didn’t dare raise her head to glimpse Her Majesty’s face.
"Your Majesty, this servant is worried about not being able to handle the task well. After all, just a card alone, I fear may not be enough to invite those two."
Though nervous, Dong Fangxiao still voiced her concerns.
"No matter, you only need to make it clear on the invitation that if they do not co tomorrow, I will personally launch a full-scale attack to kill Li Muyun!"
The final sentence from the Empress brimd with murderous intent, making Dong Fangxiao, already sweating profusely, feel even more terrified.
"Yes, this servant will go at once!"
No sooner had her words fallen, than Dong Fangxiao’s figure flashed and disappeared!
Before long, Dong Fangxiao appeared in the manor’s parking garage. She opened the door to a Maserati sports car and threw her body heavily into it.
"Huff—"
She let out a long breath.
Looking at the invitation in her hand, Dong Fangxiao, with a headache, placed it against her forehead, and sighed softly, "I just don’t understand, truly can’t figure it out..."
"Can’t figure out what?"
A graceful figure suddenly appeared in the passenger seat of the sports car, and then the sound of the car door closing could be heard.
"Sister, you scared to death!"
Seeing that the person was her own elder sister, who was also one of the Empress’s guards, Shadow Three, Dong Qingxuan, Dong Fangxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Qingxuan glanced at her younger sister and couldn’t help but scold her, "You girl, sitting in the car babbling nonsense to yourself, what are you doing?"
"Sister, I really can’t understand it," Dong Fangxiao said.
"Can’t understand what?"
Dong Qingxuan looked at her sister, whom she had cherished since childhood. They were both orphans, taken in by the Imperial Alliance and subjected to a series of cruel selections and training before finally having the honor of becoming mbers of the Shadow Guard.
Serving the Empress was sothing Dong Qingxuan and her sister took great pride and joy in, as the Imperial Alliance was the most powerful and influential organization in the world, bar none! Even the Luanfeng Pavilion, which had also existed for thousands of years, could not compete with the Imperial Alliance, not to ntion that, with the Empress’s return, they, as guards, had privately discussed that the true power of the Empress was akin to a nuclear arsenal!
Moreover, the most crucial point was that the current Empress was a being with a Demi-god Body and possessed an extrely long lifespan!
The Empress, in the hearts of the Shadow Guards, was the only True God!
"Sister, why do you think the Empress is always targeting Li Muyun?"
"What?"
"Oh, you might not know, the Empress has given another headache of a task," Dong Fangxiao said as she handed the invitation to Dong Qingxuan.
Dong Qingxuan hesitated for a mont, but eventually did not take it. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to look at it, but that she didn’t dare to.
After all, Dong Fangxiao was now the personal maid to the Empress, while she was just a maid, a difference as vast as the heavens and the earth.
"You silly girl, how can you be so confused! This is a task assigned by the Empress, and you dare to show it to ."
Dong Fangxiao then realized she had made a mistake, stuck out her tongue, and with a smile said, "Sister, I was wrong."
"You just said the Empress is targeting Li Muyun?"
"Yes," Dong Fangxiao nodded.
"Li Muyun is the reincarnation of Emperor Gaozong, isn’t he?"
