After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 253 Members of the Royal Family
Central Continent, Ancestral Phoenix Imperial Palace.

The handsome young man, dressed in a black python robe, sat to the left of the empress, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound, for fear of being noticed by the empress in her rage.

The empress looked at the scroll in her hand, and the next moment the scroll was swept up by an invisible current and smashed down at the feet of the boy kneeling in the hall.

"You certainly have the spirit of youth."

After throwing away the scroll, the Empress's voice was indistinguishable between joy and sorrow, and her face showed no anger, only a serene peace. She even showed a hint of a smile when she saw Chi Yuan.

"Do you think you are Ji Wantang's opponent in the imperial election, or do you think the royal family still holds the same status as before?"

Chi Yuan picked up the scroll from the ground: "If it were before, I would have been willing to be Ji Wantang's concubine for the sake of the royal family, but Mother, I am not willing now."

The Empress scoffed, ignoring why he spoke that way and why he had such an attitude, and only looked at the woman beside her: "Fan Yin, what do you think of Ji Wantang's condition these past few days?"

"Your Majesty, Ji Wantang suffered severe injuries in the spiritual world and will likely need one or two years to recuperate before he can fight again."

The Empress frowned slightly. "How could someone in the Divine Soul World be able to beat Ji Wantang like this? Could it be that a prodigy from the Upper Realm has intervened?"

Those geniuses from the upper realms consider themselves extraordinary and have always disdained to fight with cultivators from the lower realms.

The Empress quickly ruled out the possibility that it was someone from the upper realm who was behind it. The older monsters with higher cultivation levels were also being restrained by their opponents, so they couldn't just attack cultivators with lower cultivation levels at will.

In that case, Ji Wantang should be invincible among those of the same rank.

The Empress's eyebrows twitched as she recalled the news reported by the Heavenly Phoenix Continent a while ago. "It seems the people of the Ancestral Dragon Continent are itching for a beating again, daring to touch the people of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent."

She held the string of paulownia wood beads in her hand and said coldly, "The Ancestral Dragon Continent really has quite the ambition."

“In a few years, the planes will overlap again, and the top geniuses of the major planes will inevitably collide sooner or later.” Chi Ling, dressed in a black python robe, said, “Logically speaking, they would never cause trouble at this time. Moreover, even Cao Yunlong, who is currently the number one Nascent Soul cultivator on the Ancestral Dragon Continent, does not have the ability to force Ji Wantang’s soul to return to her physical body.”

Looking at it this way, it's impossible for anyone from the Ancestral Dragon Continent to make a move against Ji Wantang, and it's even less likely that anyone from the other top-tier planes would dare to do so.

Fan Yin interrupted the two, saying, "It wasn't the battle that severely injured Ji Wantang's soul, but rather the backlash from the Blue Duck Bird's inheritance."

The royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire was also aware of this renowned Blue Duckling heritage, so the two understood as soon as the Brahma spoke.

The Empress and Prince Chiling exchanged a glance, both with a hint of seriousness in their eyes.

Chi Ling went even further, expressing her doubts: "Even Ji Wantang can't gain the Blue Duck's approval?"

Although the royal family is wary of Ji Wantang and the powerful force behind her, it is undeniable that Ji Wantang is the most terrifyingly talented prodigy in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent in the past ten thousand years.

"But I've heard that the Blue Duckling's legacy has already been taken away."

Fan Yin smiled bitterly: "That's the problem. No one knows who took the inheritance that Ji Wantang didn't obtain. I've already given His Majesty the list of people who entered the Blue Duckling Cemetery back then. Would Your Majesty like to take a closer look?"

What she really wanted to say was, since Ji Wantang didn't receive this inheritance, does that mean there might be someone among this group who is more talented than Ji Wantang?
If this person can be brought into the royal family, why should the royal family worry about declining quickly after the imperial election?

The Empress immediately understood the meaning of the Sanskrit chant and exchanged a glance with Chi Ling.

Chi Ling could tell that the Empress was tempted.

He had no choice but to speak up: "Royal sister, since Ji Wantang suddenly appeared, we have found her quite a few opponents, each of whom was once invincible among their peers."

However, for every genius, the best outcome upon seeing Ji Wantang again was to save their life. Too many failures had made the royal family realize the only possible outcome of the imperial election.

The Empress glanced at Fan Yin, then looked at her beloved son who had been kneeling on the ground for a while. After a moment of silence, she spoke: "Tell me why you are unwilling to be Ji Wantang's concubine. If you want the position of the principal husband, your mother can fight for it for you."

Chi Yuan lowered his head: "My son has a girl he likes."

The Empress's grip on the paulownia wood tightened slightly, and for the first time, a hint of anger appeared on her face.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yin couldn't help but glance at the Empress's most favored son a few more times, then shook her head: "Your Highness is still too young."

Chiling kept her eyes to herself and her mind to herself, having no intention of getting involved in this mess.

Suddenly, his Heavenly Mirror made a sound. Chi Ling opened the Heavenly Mirror and frowned.

"What's wrong?" The Empress didn't want to pay attention to her willful youngest son, so she simply made him kneel again and looked at Chi Ling.

"It seems something has happened to Feifei." Chiling quickly glanced at the message his daughter had sent and immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I'm afraid I have to take some people to the Northwest Continent."

The Queen asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Chi Ling directly showed the Heavenly Mirror to the Empress.

The Empress glanced at the message; it seemed to indicate that evil magic had appeared in the Phoenix Medicine Sect, confirming the existence of a demon nearing the Tribulation Transcending stage and otherworldly evil thoughts within the sect.

“That girl Feifei…”

“This message wasn’t sent by my younger brother’s daughter.” Chi Ling knew his daughter too well: “Someone took her Heavenly Mirror and sent it, or someone taught her to send it. Fei Fei doesn’t speak this clearly.”

However, the soul imprint he placed on his daughter did not fluctuate, so Yunfei is probably still safe.

However, the thought of her daughter being near a demon with evil intentions from another world and who was close to the Tribulation Transcending stage made Chi Ling break out in a cold sweat.

If his fiercely protective wife found out, she'd send him to the mortal realm and split him in two!
Upon hearing this, the Empress became interested: "Since the Phoenix Medicine Sect has reached this point... Your Highness, take more people and go quietly without alerting anyone. Contact the young princess first. If the news is true, the person who sent the message to the royal family will have done a great service. If it is not true, bring the young princess back and deal with this person directly."

Chi Ling was about to leave after receiving the order, but was stopped by the Empress. The next moment, Chi Yuan was thrown over by the Empress from a distance.

"Take this wretched child with you and work on this matter together. I get annoyed just looking at him."

Chi Ling picked up Chi Yuan, and the uncle and nephew exchanged a glance. After leaving the imperial palace, Chi Yuan began to complain.

"Uncle, you didn't even help me order. You're such a coward."

Chi Ling glared at him: "You still want me to help you? I can barely take care of myself right now!"

Chi Yuan snorted: "But Mother Queen didn't say anything to me, so she probably agreed not to tie me to Ji Wantang."

Chi Ling sighed: "Your mother is ultimately not satisfied with Ji Wantang."

To be honest, he also had some dissatisfaction with Ji Wantang.

The reason for dissatisfaction is not that Ji Wantang is not good enough.

He's just too outstanding, so outstanding that he lacks human empathy. He's not like a human being, but more like a monster controlled by strength and luck...
