Chapter 442: The Purple Rose Empress Thoughts

Surprisingly, she was "Dream In A Millennium" Su Mian.

This was completely unimaginable to Chen Mo. The head Star Warrior of the Xuann Seven Stars was actually the empress of the Central Star Field, able to make Star Marquis like Liu Xiu and Liu Che bow their heads and swear allegiance.

"What?" Su Mian's eyes contained a smile as she noticed Chen Mo staring at her.

"This Chen did not expect the one who commands ten thousand stars to surprisingly be a Star Warrior." Chen Mo originally thought she would be a Star General, one in possession of a top-notch Star Name at least.

"Her Majesty Mian is the daughter of the Purple Rose Star Emperor. It is only natural she commands ten thousand stars." Jing Dan rolled her eyes.

So she turned out to be the Purple Rose Star Emperor's daughter.

Chen Mo was relieved. She truly was the princess who received the doting of millions. In all the world, no top-notch Star Name could compare to the status of being the Purple Rose Star Emperor's daughter. After, all, this man who unified Star World was able to take even a Star Name like the Ancestral Dragon into his harem.

"Your Majesty struck Chen Mo just now. Your Servant actually thought that you were infuriated, Your majesty." Jing Dan showed surprising concern for Chen Mo at this time.

The other Cloud Terrace officers still had lingering fears.

"Her Majesty Su Mian knew that Liu Che would do such a thing just now, so she used that attack to imbue me with Purple Qi. If not for this Purple Qi, the White Tiger's soul would have been seriously damaged just now." Chen Mo explained.

Hearing his words, everyone was endlessly astonished.

The Purple Rose Empress was unfathomable indeed, to be able to even anticipate the Qilin Martial Emperor's tricks.

"We better return to the Star Mansion Palace first. This Palace has some questions for His Distinguished Self Chen Mo." Su Mian's expression was composed, her face dignified.

"Dammit, that Purple Rose Empress is honestly too wretched."

The Qilin Martial Emperor's entourage returned to their Star Kingdom, and Zhao Chongguo brooded over the events just now.

"Right, and everyone actually stared at Jia begging for forgiveness." Zhang Anshi could not resist an opportunity to embellish the incident and mock Huo Guang.

Huo Guang's expression was dark. She did not say a word.

"She is the master of the Central Star Field. Even we are nothing special compared to her." "Able And Virtuous Military Official" Wei Xiang helped dispel Huo Guang's embarrassment. However, to Huo Guang, this was nothing to be embarrassed about in the first place.

"Dream In A Millennium" Su Mian was the Purple Rose Star Emperor's daughter, a once every thousand years genius. Even Huo Qubing could not compare to her. In every sense, the Sixteen Star Marquis must heed her every word.

"She won't be proud for too long." Zhang Anshi showed contempt. "The Central Star Field has lost much of its authority now, and a sect of Confucianism is even dominating Central. She has long been made a puppet ruler. The Star World that the Purple Rose Star Emperor unified is about to live on only in name. If not for the Purple Rose Star Emperor ordering the Sixteen Star Marquis to refrain from attacking each other, the the Purple Rose Star regime would have already been destroyed."

"The Buddha-killing Ghost,' the Sun And Moon True Dragon,' these Star Marquis have the intent to supplant the Central Star Field. Someday, she will see."

"Silence." Liu Hongyu was displeased that they talked behind another's back. The Purple Rose Empress was able to reach Star Marquis level based on her Star Warrior status alone. Just from this point, Liu Che was very impressed.

This woman's outer and inner qualities were deadly all the same. She absolutely could not be looked down upon.

Zhang Anshi clammed up, not daring to speak.

"Martial Emperor, are we letting that man go like this? Should we join forces with the Buddha-killing Ghost?" Wei Xiang suggested.

"My words carry enormous weight, how can I go back on my word. I want to see if this man dares to step into the Rippling Wave Hall in half a year or not." Liu Hongyu showed great excitement, as if she was raising him right now.

"Right, Guang, I have some words for you." Liu Hongyu recalled something.

"Martial Emperor, please." Huo Guang lowered her head.

"I finally realized what the feeling you were missing compared to Huo Qubing was."

"What is Guang lacking?" Huo Guang asked.

From the last question to Chen Mo, Liu Hongyu finally understood from Chen Mo's fearlessness, ease, and self-confidence the bewilderment that confounded her for so long. Huo Guang was very talented, and her determination was not something average people could compare to. But she did not have enough courage or ease.

Huo Qubing had the double nicknames of "Champion Heavenly King" and "White Steed Under Heaven." The first, she had for her abundant resilience. Everywhere under Heaven, officers recognized her as king. The second, she had no limits. Nothing in the world could restrain her, for she was able to cut through anything like a hot knife through butter at any moment.

"Huo Jia, I have ten words for you. Properly ponder upon them." Liu Hongyu was stern.

"Huo Jia heeds the Martial Emperor's teachings." The girl was dignified.

"Break the edge head on, pull against the critical tide!"¹

"You had better achieve this. In half a year, I want to see your results."

Huo Jia carefully thought over these ten words.

Break the edge head on, pull against the critical tide.

Could that man also do the same?

The Nameless Sword narrowed her eyes, fighting spirit burning her heart.

Star Mansion Palace, Cloud Terrace.

The Yuanwu Star Kingdom's "Star Mansion Palace" was a group of palaces arranged row after row using tens of millions of stars. They corresponded to the structures of ancient star atlases. Although the Yuanwu Star Kingdom did not have a Purple Qi Star Leyline like the Central Star Field's, they nevertheless were on a Star Leyline. 

Among Star World's Nine Star Palaces, Liu Xiu's Star Mansion Palace was ranked third, behind only the Central Star Kingdom's "Purple Rose Star Palace" and "Epang Palace."

The Cloud Terrace's Twenty-eight Generals were mostly named for the "Twenty-eight Star Mansions."

Son Of Heaven not just in name, but also in reality.

Chen Mo recalled this. No wonder Liu Che used the "qilin hunt" to humiliate Liu Xiu and that Liu Xiu's Cloud Terrace generals would view the Four Symbols with such reverence.

After returning to the Star Mansion Palace, Jing Dan was taken away to cleanse her wounds. The other Cloud Terrace officers went to other Star Fields, to stand guard against the Qilin Army.

Atop the Cloud Terrace, only Liu Xiu, Ma Yuan, Su Mian, and Chen Mo were left.

Su Mian and Liu Houxiu reminisced. Her relationship with the "Son Of Heaven" was not bad, unlike when she faced Liu Che just now where her expression was polite yet somewhat unfamiliar. However, this was not strange. Liu Houxiu had always been aloof from worldly matters, a personality of simplicity and sincerity. She lacked a Star Marquis' majesty much less the bit of arrogance that Star Generals ought to have. To speak with her was always very relaxing.

Chen Mo finally met this legendary "Dream In A Millennium" and found the girl to be unlike what he had imagined. Her expression was bright, dignified, and combined with her calm in facing two Great Star Marquis, her shrewdness was also surprisingly unfathomable.

"Your Distinguished Self Chen Mo is truly fortunate to have run into Sister Houxiu." Su Mian's gaze turned back to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo recollected his thoughts and nodded in agreement.

Among the Sixteen Star Marquis, Liu Houxiu could be considered the most temperate. The others would never help speak up for him like thisRecalling that sensual sight in the pool, that truly was the fortune of a man's lifetime.

"You did not disappoint Sister Houxiu either and were able to return the White Tiger to Heaven. You have at long last resolved Elder Sister's worries." Su Mian clasped Liu Houxiu's hand and spoke warmly.

"And many thanks to Your Majesty Mian for buying Your Servant half a year just now. Perhaps no one in the world could have stopped that Qilin Martial Emperor." Chen Mo gratefully said.

Su Mian smiled: "But I wonder whether you will dare to attend the banquet or not in half a year. This Palace has sworn an oath with her."

In terms of cultivation, half a year's time could only be described as fleeting, however, Chen Mo was still very confident. Right now, he already had the White Tiger and the Black Turtle. When he forged the Jian Bing Seven Mansion Star Stones into White Tiger Flying Swords of the Without Ultimate Primordial Dual Modes Four Symbols Sword, his strength would be sufficient to face Huo Guang.

"Very well, This Palace is very impressed with your composure. This Palace has not misplaced her faith in you." Su Mian said.

"This Palace has something to ask you." Su Mian retracted her smile. Her tone was nonchalant, but it contained strictness.

"Does Your Highness wish to ask about the Black Turtle or the Five Emperors Seal?" Chen Mo guessed.

"Both. The Four Symbols is rumored to be Maiden Mountain's Holy Beast. This Palace wonders how you obtained the Black Turtle's True Spirit." If something as significant as the Black Turtle's True Spirit was discovered, then as the ruler of the Central Star Field, she could not possibly be unaware, but to not hear of any activity pertaining to this after so many years honestly was too strange.

"This was all luck." Chen Mo summarized the events of the Black Turtle Ruins, giving a cursory account of how he obtained it.

"The Outer Star Fields, so this was indeed the case." Su Mian was pensive after hearing Chen Mo obtained it in the Outer Star Fields. The Central Star Field's control over the Outer Star Fields was not strict at all. From the Inner Star Fields' perspective, the Outer Star Fields' Star Energy was too low, where even Star Names were very rarely able to be nurtured. Su Mian suddenly thought of something. She had once dispatched people to the Outer Star Fields in search of Ou Yezi. She wondered if this man was somehow related.

It was only a small detail, but it immediately made the girl plan ahead. 

"To be able to obtain the Four Symbols is good fortune indeed." Su Mian said: "Then how did you obtain the Five Emperors Seal?" Speaking of this, Su Mian's eyes became even keener, as if she wanted to see through Chen Mo's heart.

"I am unsure as well. I once accidentally obtained Dark Yellow Sword Qi that perhaps is related to this." Chen Mo knew to conceal anything from this girl who commanded the Central Star Field was impossible. He may as well tell half-truths to make her guess.

"Dark Yellow Sword Qi. May This Palace see it?" Su Mian curiously asked.

"Of course, but I do not have much of it right now." Chen Mo said.

"Shoot it towards This Palace. This Palace wants to know just what this Dark Yellow Sword Qi is."

Chen Mo snapped his fingers. A ray of Dark Yellow Sword Qi shot towards Su Mian like a sword.

Ma Yuan was slightly astonished nearby. Although this Dark Yellow Sword Qi was weak, it surprisingly contained something that dwarfed the White Tiger's Primeval Chaos Star Energy. It was even more ancient, surpassing Star World's recognition.

Su Mian extended a white finger and gently pointed.

This Dark Yellow Sword Qi was trapped by a vortex of purple qi. The girl toyed with it, opened her red lips, slightly inhaled, and surprisingly sucked the Dark Yellow Sword Qi into her body.

Fuck.

Chen Mo stared wide-eyed.

Su Mian mulled over the Dark Yellow Sword Qi, pensive. "It turns out to be ancient power as well. It seems Your Distinguished Self cannot possibly have something as simple as a lucky encounter. Perhaps you are someone that came from Maiden Mountain."

"Huh, came from Maiden Mountain? Is Your Highness being honest?" Ma Yuan was startled.

Liu Houxiu also showed a bit of surprise.

To Star World's Star Maidens, Maiden Mountain was the holy land they most yearned for because this mysterious Star Name power in this world was born here. Back then, after the Purple Rose Star Emperor went to Maiden Mountain, he never returned. No one knew just what was hidden there.

"This Palace is merely conjecturing. After all, no ordinary cultivator of Star World could obtain the Five Emperors Seal and the Four Symbols." Su Mian wrinkled her brow, looking Chen Mo over again.

"Your Majesty truly praises me." Chen Mo forced a smile.

Su Mian smiled. She knew she was overthinking.

So as to avoid any variables arising from the Qilin Martial Emperor, This Palace feels that Your Distinguished Self can stay in the Star Mansion Palace right now. This White Tiger soul should be nearly harmonized, correct." Su Mian siad.

Chen Mo nodded.

"Mian'er, why not live in the Star Mansion Palace for a few days." Liu Houxiu softly said.

"But there are many matters in the Central Star Field that require attention." Su Mian thought.

"Your Highness has only just returned from the Primordial Chaos Star World. Princess would like to know more." Ma Yuan added.

"Fine, staying a few days should be no issue. Li should be able to manage." Su Mian smiled then gazed at Chen Mo again, her eyes aglow: "This Palace also wants to learn from this Fellow who can refine the Black Turtle and White Tiger."

"Deference is no substitute for obedience." Chen Mo wanted the same.

Star World's number one Star Warrior, the Central Star Field's ruler.

How strong was she.

1. Basically, to fight with everything on the line. This means somehow that Huo Guang is still holding back, even if unconsciously.
