Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 137

Deep in a mountain, inside a man-made cave, a beautiful woman opened her jewel eyes and exhaled a deep breath. She had a pale complexion, however, this fact did not diminish her sacred and divine temperament.

This woman was of course Fang Lijuan who was secretly healing her injuries after her defeat at the hand of Li Jun.

That last spear almost killed her despite the fact that she used a powerful talisman to defend herself. However, right before she was about to die, her bloodline activated itself and saved her life.

However, this further aggravated Fang Lijuan’s injury. As a result, she could no longer use her bloodline powers. As a matter of fact, she feared that if she did not treat things seriously that her bloodline might be disabled.

After sighing at her misery, Fang Lijuan stood up and took out a token to deactivate all the formations she placed in the cave.

Afterward, she spent a few seconds to determine where she was, then headed back to the Fang Divine Dynasty’s capital.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Fang Lijuan was sitting on her Dragon-Phoenix Throne looking at all the excited faces of her officials.

"It is good to see you back, Goddess Empress," said the Left Prime Minister in a sweet voice.

Fang Lijuan nodded and asked directly, "What happened during the time that this Goddess was gone?"

The room instantly became quiet after hearing this, so a deep frown appeared in Fang Lijuan’s indifferent face and she said, "Right Prime Minister, you say?"

"It’s been a few weeks since the Goddess Empress left, and in that time, another quarter of our territory has been lost."

Fang Lijuan further frowned after hearing this. It was not because a quarter of her territory was lost, but because the number was smaller than expected. With Li Jun there, the Great Xia army should have already reached the capital by now.

"How did you slow down the advancement of the Great Xia Army?" asked Fang Lijuan.

"We used the Suicide Squad," responded the Minister of War, who was actually an attendant that Fang Lijuan brought to this world. Just like Li Jun, she has grown up and served Fang Lijuan ever since she was a baby.

"Suicide Squad?"

"By implanting an exploding talisman talisman among the soldiers, we send them into suicide mission against General Li Jun, thus preventing him from interfering too much into the battlefield."

"However, as a result of this, the finances of our dynasty is dangerously low."

Fang Lijuan’s eyes lit up after hearing this as she realized that this was a great method. Although this was a temporary solution, it was the best they could do during such a situation.

"You do not need to worry about the dynasty’s finances, as long as we recaptured our territories back, we will have plenty of wealth. How is the casualty of our soldiers?"

"The casualties were extremely high, but all of them are happy to die for you, Goddess Empress," replied the Minister of War.

Fang Lijuan nodded, then started discussing the affairs of the dynasty before dismissing all the officials.

Afterwards, she took out her Conferred God List and Imperial Seal and connected to the Dynasty’s Qi Luck.

Fang Lijuan observed how the Qi Dragon of the Dynasty was crawling and resting while licking the wounds all over its body. After closer observation, she also noticed how the dragon was on the verge of turning back to a flood dragon.

Fang Lijuan sighed after seeing this, then a firm look appeared on her face. She headed to a secret room of the palace and activated a formation.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome man holding a wine jar appeared in front of her. The young man had listless eyes, and he gave the feeling that he has not slept for countless years. And yet, he still remained extremely handsome.

"Oh, Juan’er my love, why have you called me at this time of day?" asked the handsome man with a smile on his face.

"Huang Min, do not call this Goddess Juan’er as we are not that close," responded Fang Lijuan with a look of disgust on her face.

"Well, technically speaking, you are my fiancée." _{freёwebnovel.com}

"This was the decision of our Divine Clans, the Goddess never accepted such an engagement."

"Haha, that’s fair. So, for what reason have you called me?" asked Huang Min after taking a sip from his jar.

"I’m calling you to form an alliance together," responded Fang Lijuan after taking a deep breath.

"Hmmh, I have heard of your defeat at the hands of the bloodline-less successor of the Li Family. Is that true?"

"Are you trying to mock this Goddess?"

"Of course not my love. I’m merely trying to ascertain the reason for your change of mind regarding our Dynasty’s Alliance."

"Just answer yes or no!" replied Fang Lijuan with gritted teeth.

"I have nor problem with forming an alliance, however, regarding our engagement..."

Fang Lijuan sneered after hearing and answered decisively, "You are dreaming if you think you can use this situation to force this Goddess to agree to our engagement."

"Even if this Goddess lost in this trial, the Fang Divine Clan can still find another Small Thousand World to send me to conquer. And if worse comes to pass, I would rather use Luck Stone to attain a Purple-Gold Qi Luck."

After saying this, Fang Lijuan secretly clenched her hands. If it was up to her, she did not want to use either of these methods.

If she uses the first method, then she will have to waste a lot of time. Not to mention how long her family will spend to find the appropriate world to send her--after all not all worlds can be used to gather Qi Luck.

Even if they did, she will have to spend a great deal of time in order to conquer it. She has already spent more than 10 years in the Warring Kingdom World. And if she has to conquer another world, the time spent will be more than triple.

Of course 30 years is nothing to a cultivator like her who is in the Divine Altar Ream and has more than a 1000 years of life span--not to mention the extra life spans that her bloodline offers her.
