Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 298 - Daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law?

After leaving Dongyang City, Yuma settled the Demon Queen, Darren, and their group in a mansion in the north, and then took Qian Lingyun outside alone.

"Mommy, why are you being so mysterious?" Qian Lingyun asked curiously, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at the crowd eating heartily in the hall.

"..." Yuma pondered for a moment, then turned around with a slightly complicated expression and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, are you serious?"

"Huh?"

These seemingly random words left Qian Lingyun completely bewildered. She looked suspiciously at Yuma's rather serious gaze and asked, puzzled, "Mom... what... are you talking about?"

"Hey! I helped you find a way, and you're not even upset? Fine... it's just... it's about you becoming the future empress!" Yuma grabbed Qian Lingyun's left ear, her voice laced with exasperation, and said, enunciating each word clearly:

"I've already arranged a meeting with the Emperor for you. If you truly want to be the future Empress, I'll take you to meet him!"

"Then let's meet!" Qian Lingyun waved her hand dismissively, thinking to herself:

[This isn't a big deal, it's just going to see the emperor! Do you expect me to be like Tang Shenwang back then, practically kneeling before the emperor the moment I heard about any rewards? Why am I so nervous? ①]

"Alright, alright, you little debt collector! Keep up!"

Yuma chuckled and cursed, glanced at the time, and waved for Qian Lingyun to follow her.

Then, she put away her cane and soared into the air, like a red streak of light, shooting directly into the clouds and flying towards Mingdu.

"My God... this flight speed... it's ridiculously fast!" Qian Lingyun's eyes narrowed, her lips twitched slightly, and she hurriedly ran back to her room, pulling Bai Yuan aside.

After exchanging a few simple words with Bai Yuan, he followed Yuma's retreating figure and flew quickly towards Mingdu.

The two chased each other in the air, perhaps in a contest, and only left the Duke's mansion when the sun began to set.

Before the last ray of light disappeared, they could already see the distant horizon of Mingdu from mid-air.

Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The two folded their wings and landed a kilometer away from the palace.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it, since flying is prohibited over Mingdu, especially in the city center.

The Soul Master Guard on patrol intercepted the two in the air and ordered them to land immediately for inspection.

Yuma expressionlessly pulled a sign from her bosom.

It was a token that was entirely dark gold, with the characters for "sun" and "moon" inlaid with gemstones.

Upon seeing the token, the Soul Master Guard immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Yuma didn't say anything, just nodded and used her soul power to lift these people back to their posts.

She then led Qian Lingyun slowly toward the palace gate.

Along the way, every so often, someone would stop the two women to check their purpose for coming.

The tedious process made Qian Lingyun a little annoyed, but Yuma seemed used to it, taking the token and walking a short distance at a time.

Qian Lingyun might not know about other situations, but as long as Yuma throws out the token, all the guards at that checkpoint will kneel down on one knee and bow to them.

This shows just how powerful the token in Yuma's hand is.

Yes, this gemstone token has extremely important symbolic significance—it is as if the emperor himself were present, and holding it allows him unimpeded passage within the palace.

They circled around to the side to reach the main hall of the palace. Yuma, familiar with the area, led Qian Lingyun slowly inside.

After a short while, Yuma stopped and beckoned to the guards beside her, instructing, "I'm too lazy to walk anymore. Go and prepare two sedan chairs!"

"Ah!" Qian Lingyun stared in disbelief as the group of guards disappeared after responding to the call, followed by a group of servants carrying a sedan chair.

Without further ado, they invited Yuma and the other person into the sedan chair and hurriedly escorted them to the front of the main hall.

At this moment, Qian Lingyun finally understood why Yuma had called for a sedan chair when she was walking perfectly fine.

Just now, it took those servants almost ten minutes to run from the square in front of the main hall to the entrance of the hall…

Stretching and slowly walking up the steps, Yuma casually handed the token to a guard and whispered, "Go, tell His Majesty that I've arrived."

This time, the guards at the gate did not kneel, but simply nodded with beaming smiles. One of them even approached with a smile, saying, "Madam, you've arrived. His Majesty is having his meal!"

"I have a nose, I don't need you to tell me he's eating," Yuma rolled her eyes and rubbed her forehead impatiently.

"Madam! His Majesty requests your presence. Please follow me." The guard who came out of the house did not dare to delay and handed back the token in his hand. He led Yuma inside, and Yuma also put away the token in her hand.

Just as Qian Lingyun was about to follow Yuma inside, the guard raised his hand to stop her and explained softly, "Miss, His Majesty only allows the Madam to enter."

"Let her come in with me." Yuma pulled Qian Lingyun into the main hall, sneering, "His Majesty won't say anything if I bring her in!"

After speaking, Yuma ignored the guard's troubled expression and dragged Qian Lingyun into the inner hall.

Inside the inner hall, a thin but shrewd old man dressed in a dragon robe sat calmly at the dining table, eating his meal.

Upon Yuma's arrival, he surprisingly put down his chopsticks and bowl, dismissed the guards, and greeted her in a tone befitting an old friend: "It's been a long time!"

"Has it been a long time? It's only been a little over a month, but you look like you haven't seen each other for decades," Yuma said reproachfully as she sat down to the side, pulling out a chair for Qian Lingyun as well.

Looking at the unassuming old man, Qian Lingyun's curious gaze swept back and forth across him. This unabashed gaze also attracted the old man's attention. He raised his hand and lightly stroked his beard, asking in surprise, "This young girl is..."

"My daughter, look, isn't she beautiful!" Yuma smiled slightly, her eyes full of pride.

"She is indeed a beauty, but... you brought her here not simply so I could see her, could you?" The old emperor, with a half-smile, picked up his wine cup, took a sip, glanced at Qian Lingyun, and softly reassured her:

"Speak! Little girl, what brings your mother here today?"

"Um... because I've never been to the palace before, they brought me in for a stroll, saying it's to broaden my horizons!"

Qian Lingyun's ability to spout nonsense with her eyes wide open became increasingly skillful. Even the old emperor, who had seen countless people, didn't sense anything amiss. Instead, he laughed heartily and said:

"That's certainly an interesting reason. Since you want to see it, then go ahead and watch it."

"Cough cough cough." Yuma was annoyed by Qian Lingyun's behavior and choked on her tea, a rare occurrence for her. She couldn't help but cough a few times, take a deep breath, and speak again:

"I'm here to arrange a marriage for this troublesome brat. What do you think?"

"Hmm! That's good! Tell me, which young man has your daughter taken a fancy to?" The old emperor chuckled, carefully examining Qian Lingyun's features, and exclaimed:

"Your daughter is absolutely stunning! If I weren't already an old man with one foot in the grave, I probably would have tried to win her over too!"

Original text: As for Tang San, he would never bow to the Pope. It wasn't because of his lineage from the Clear Sky Sect or anything else, but because of his own pride. In his heart, only his father and teacher could make him kneel. As for others, even emperors, what difference did it make?

Before Tang San could speak, Emperor Xue Ye announced, "Tang San, Sect Master of the Tang Sect, awaits your investiture." "Tang San is here." Tang San tried to kneel, but Xue Beng pulled him back. Just as he was wondering…

Got it? To make Tang Shenwang kneel, you have to offer him something first!
