Chapter 1961: Princess Tai'an
Princess Tai'an bowed within a luxurious residential palace with a faint smile on her face. She seemed to be composed and leisurely, without appearing stiff for rules at all.
Before her stood a graceful, dignified woman behind a screen. The screen obscured her appearance, only revealing a blurry figure.
She was the empress of the Xi Empire.
"Oh, it's Xian'er. I've just returned, and you've come to see me. You sure receive news fast," the empress said from behind the screen. Her voice was kind and filled with warmth.
"A lot of things have happened in the empire during this time. I was afraid that aunt's mood would be affected, so I especially came to spend some time," said princess Tai'an. She seemed considerate, and at the same time, there was a sense of concern in her voice.
"Sigh," the empress sighed gently as if there was something indescribable and sorrowful affecting her mood. She seemed rather dispirited at that moment and said, "Xian'er, come. Let's talk."
"Yes, aunt!"
Princess Tai'an slowly made her way over and went around the screen, sitting beside the empress liberally.
"Oh right. Aunt, in the days that you were gone, an extremely surprising supreme Overgod appeared in our northern region," said princess Tai'an. The light in her eyes flickered as she paid close attention to the empress' face.
Seeing how the empress did not react too violently, she continued, "Although this supreme Overgod isn't a member of our northern region, he really is powerful. I think there's probably no one in the entire northern region that can rival this supreme Overgod because he can defeat a Godking as an Overgod."
"I also heard that the Godking was no ordinary Godking, but the disciple of a large sect from the Xuandao Empire."
"What is even more surprising is after the Overgod defeated the Godking, he was not injured at all. Aunt, don't you think this Overgod is powerful?"
The empress' expression remained the same. She nodded slightly, "To fight a Godking as an Overgod and achieve victory. That's right, he is indeed a supreme Overgod with surprising potential. This strength might even be enough to rival the person ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque."
"Even aunt thinks so. Hehe, I also think that this supreme Overgod has the right to challenge the person ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque," princess Tai'an smiled sweetly. Soon afterwards, she seemed to think of something, and she suddenly took out an embroidered box from her Space Ring. She said, "Oh right. Aunt, when I visited this supreme Overgod last time, he said to give this box to aunt or uncle."
Reaching this point, the princess paused. She stared at the box in her hand and said in thought, "Inside must be a gift from the supreme Overgod for aunt and uncle."
The empress frowned when she heard that. She said, "Xian'er, how can you accept anyone's gift for me? It's not like you don't understand this. You better return this box to that person."
The empress left no room for argument with how dignified her voice was.
"This-" The princess became slightly troubled. When she thought about how stern Jian Chen was when he gave the box to her, she understood that the item inside would definitely be special.
However, she understood the temperament of the empress extremely well. Since the empress was unwilling to take the gift, anything she tried would be a futile effort.
"Yes, aunt. I understand," the princess became rather dejected. She stowed the box away unhappily and left the empress' residence before long.
However, the princess did not forget what Jian Chen had told her before. She only needed to give it to the empress or the Xi Emperor.
