Chapter 230 Anna Feng, I am the True Goddess

A snow-white figure stumbled and fell in front of Queen Jelinek.

Her skirt was covered in mud, and the torn cuffs revealed hideous scars.

It was none other than the long-absent Crown Princess Anna Feng!
Su An'an's pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at her eldest sister.

Five years ago, Anna Feng wore the monarch butterfly crown.

On the eve of his coronation, he declared that he would pursue true love.

They then disappeared into the star mist along with the orcs of unknown origin.

The once proud princess who declared that imperial honor was above all else was now groveling on the ground like a stray dog.

The crowd of onlookers was like a beehive that had exploded.

The murmurs of the nobles nearly lifted the dome of the sky.

"It really is the First Princess! Didn't she die in the interstellar turbulence?"

"Shh! Back then, the royal family only said they were missing, but it was actually an elopement scandal."

"But her monarch butterfly bloodline is purer, and she has always had a top-tier double S physique. The third princess barely grew from a useless person to a double S, but only because of her divine pregnancy..."

Su An'an's ears twitched slightly, taking in all the whispers, but her face remained impassive.

“Mother, I was wrong! I was ignorant back then and suffered a lot before I understood your good intentions for me.”

"Please give me a chance to reform myself."

When Anna looked up, tears washed away the bloodstains on her face, revealing deep blue eyes just like the Queen's.

Empress Jeremiah slammed the edict down on the table, causing the gold decorations to shimmer and shatter.
"An'an gave birth to a divine child; this is destiny! Her coming to make a fuss is useless!"

"Mother, you are wrong."

Anna Feng suddenly raised her voice and took out a roll of yellowed, ancient animal hide from her bosom.

The animal hide made a slight crackling sound when unfolded, indicating its great age.

"It is clearly recorded in the Oracle of the Beasts,"

She read each word aloud, her fingertips gently tracing the faded characters: "Only by awakening the Divine Female can the world be saved."

Her finger suddenly turned towards Su An'an, and her voice rose abruptly:

"And my dear sister doesn't even have the most basic divine runes!"

The elderly priest knelt down shakily, his cloudy eyes fixed on the animal hide:

"Your Majesty, this is indeed an authentic ancient book."

Su An'an's gaze, however, fell on the almost imperceptible tiny holes along the edge of the animal hide.

Those are marks left by some kind of chemical corrosion.

"If she's not a divine female, then who are you?"

Seville sneered and asked in return, his golden wings slightly unfurling to protect the two cubs behind him.

"Yes, I am."

Anna Feng suddenly ripped open her collar, revealing the black and gold divine mark on her collarbone.

The divine runes shimmered with an eerie light under the temple's lamplight, radiating an undeniable aura of holiness.

The entire hall erupted in cheers!
"My God, it really is a divine rune!"

"If the eldest princess is the true divine goddess."

"Then the position of Crown Princess..."

Queen Jelinek's pupils suddenly contracted.

She abruptly stood up from the throne: "The investiture ceremony is postponed! Anna, come with me."

"Yes, Mother."

Anna Feng bowed gracefully, and as she stood up, she didn't forget to give Su An'an a victorious look.

Only then did he leave the palace with the Queen.

"It seems the succession to the throne is about to be fraught with trouble again."

"If the eldest princess is truly a divine being, then the position of crown princess should belong to her."

"Her divine markings are..."

Yin Jiuyao was about to speak when Su An'an stopped him with a look.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Su An'an lowered her voice.

Seville had already picked up the two cubs, his golden wings slightly unfurled: "Let's go!"

The three, carrying the cub, quickly left the main hall and headed towards the Moonflower Palace. Behind them, the murmurs of the court officials and nobles rose and fell.

Like a swarm of startled bees buzzing.

Inside the Moon Palace, Su An'an settled her two cubs and then went to the conference room with Yin Jiuyao and Seville.

“Anna Feng has been gone for so long, and she has come back at this time. There must be something wrong with her.”

Su An'an said with a frown.

Yin Jiuyao scratched his hair in frustration:

"Didn't she elope with that Hong Chengtian? Her sudden return now is definitely not for good reasons!"

Seville, holding the sleeping cub, calmly analyzed: "Hong Chengtian is the black priest who can control the serpent of fate."

"Anna Feng's return this time is very likely at his behest."

"Yes."

Su An'an nodded, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table:
"The entanglement between her and Hong Chengtian has never ended."

Should we tell the Queen?

Yin Jiuyao suggested, while Huwei thrashed anxiously behind him.

Su An'an shook her head:

"There's no concrete evidence right now, so there's no point in saying anything. However..."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes, "Anna Feng's return this time has actually given us an opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

Yin Jiuyao asked, puzzled, his tiger ears tilting slightly forward.

"There's something wrong with the runes she showed today."

Su An'an explained, pointing her fingertip at the table:
“A true divine mark wouldn’t glow so deliberately, and there are traces of a drug on the skin around her collarbone.”

"If we can find evidence of forgery, we might be able to follow the clues and discover the secret of Hong Chengtian's manufacture of the divine medicine."

Seville's golden wings fluttered slightly:
“I’ve ordered my secret guards to investigate her whereabouts over the past five years, as well as Hong Chengtian’s recent movements.”

Yin Jiuyao immediately replied:

"I'll keep an eye on the old priest. The way he looked at the animal hides earlier was suspicious. He might have already conspired with Anna Feng!"

Su An'an nodded: "Let's split up and remember not to alert them."

"The Queen still has feelings for her, and we must get solid evidence to completely expose their tricks."

Anna Feng and Queen Jelinek talked until midnight before returning to her former palace.

The moment the door closed, her forced composure crumbled. Leaning against the door, she gently wiped the lingering tears from her face with her fingers, then activated the communicator on her wrist.

"Chengtian."

Her voice was still choked with sobs, and the divine markings on her collarbone gleamed faintly in the dim light.
"Mother has agreed to convene a cabinet meeting."

“If I can prove that I am the Divine Maiden, she will reconsider the investiture.”

In the holographic projection, Hong Chengtian leaned lazily on the scarlet throne.

Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she toyed with a bone ring on her fingertips.

A faint smile played on his lips: "My little butterfly is finally going to fly back to the throne?"

Anna Feng unconsciously revealed a look of infatuation, her fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the communicator:
"I will definitely reclaim the title of Crown Princess. For you, and for us."

"good."

Hong Chengtian's voice was as sticky as honey, carrying a subtle hint of controlling desire:
"Remember our agreement, okay?"

After the communication ended, Hong Chengtian casually tossed the communicator aside.

He picked up an ancient book from the table with his long, slender fingers and flipped through it casually.

Under the light, the gold-embossed title on the cover flashed by:

"The Female Taming Handbook: From Genetic Adaptation to Spiritual Submission"

His fingertips hovered over the startling inscription on the title page:

"True taming is making her willingly wear the collar you give her."

Hong Chengtian chuckled softly and closed the book.

Outside the window, the blood moon hung high, shining on his handsome, effeminate face, reflecting a pair of unfathomable eyes.

His eerie purple pupils churned with a crimson hue that matched the moonlight.
