Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 185 Someone Has to Set a Precedent for All Time

"I did intend to kill you before, after all, you are the beginning of karma. If you died, the imperial destiny on my third junior sister's body would naturally disappear... But right now, I, Xue, do not intend to do so!"

Upon hearing Xue Lan's words, Xie Xiao and Xie Lingchao looked at Xue Lan almost instantly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They probably never imagined that there would be such an unruly disciple of the immortal sect as Xue Lan in this world.

One moment he's saying he's there to kill someone, the next he's changing his tune, his unpredictable nature makes people uneasy.

Compared to the panic of the two, Xue Lan appeared very calm. The girl looked at the two in front of her and showed a satisfied smile.

Before them stood two figures: one, the ruthless young emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty, who had slaughtered the entire court in a mere half-month; and the other, the future empress chosen by Xue Lan, a remarkable woman destined to set a precedent for all ages.

It was so funny to see their astonished expressions.

The young woman took a sip of her tea: "I, Xue, will not kill you. Anyway, given His Majesty's current condition, I don't know if I'll still be able to see him on New Year's Eve next year!"

Xie Xiao knew Xue Lan was right, but he felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He never expected that the reason he hadn't died early was that he was going to die early.

The frail emperor said, his voice tinged with bitterness, "Thank you for your mercy, Miss Xue!"

Xue Lan waved her hand: "It's not about pity! It's just that Xue Lan doesn't want to get involved in this karma."

This wasn't Xue Lan deceiving Xie Xiao; it was her true thought.

With her constitution, she could get entangled in karma even from seeing a dog on the roadside, let alone personally killing a human emperor.

He said he wanted to kill Xie Xiao, but it was just talk; he was just pretending to be an evil cultivator!

She didn't want to find herself entangled with the fate of the Great Shun Dynasty right after she had just resolved the conflict between Ji Jinjin and the dynasty's destiny.

The blood dragon energy is too annoying; it will drive her crazy.

"Are you still a good person who cares about the suffering of the common people?"

A mocking voice from her inner demon echoed in her mind. Xue Lan asked with some confusion, her voice carrying a hint of clarity:

"Wasn't it like that before? I used to kill and commit arson all the time?"

The inner demon was taken aback by Xue Lan's question, and stammered, "Not really, although I kill demons like flies every day..."

But most of the time, Xue Lan is a silly person who just likes to stay in the Ice Flower Pool and daydream! The kind who doesn't seem very smart.

Xue Lan sensed her thoughts and tapped her mind.

"Don't curse me secretly, I know!"

After dealing with her inner demons, Xue Lan returned to reality and continued arguing with the two ruthless individuals opposite her: "The situation in the Great Shun Dynasty is currently unstable, with the Six Sects and Twelve Schools about to be deployed to the Wilderness! I, Xue, do not wish for any disturbances to occur in the Great Shun Dynasty at this time!"

Xue Tong, holding a candied hawthorn skewer, walked up to the second floor of the teahouse. He was somewhat bewildered by Xue Lan's words.

She was just curious about what Xue Lan was doing, but she never expected to see Lord Wolf threatening people like a thug.

Although she speaks politely, that kind of demeanor...

It's so similar.

Xue Tong thought to herself that Lord Wolf's business was really becoming more and more extensive.

If you're going to the Great Court later, why not have a banner made in the capital with something on it that says something about blacksmithing, divination with tortoise shells, or debt collection...

Before Xue Tong could finish her random thoughts, she suddenly felt the candied hawthorn in her hand slowly slip out of her grasp and fly away towards Xue Lan.

Xue Tong immediately became displeased. The little girl rushed forward and grabbed the candied hawthorn: "Can't you go buy it yourself?"

Xue Lan said leisurely, "Lazy!"

"Besides, don't you still have some in your sleeve?"

Xue Lan seemed to be reminded by her words. The girl took out two candied hawthorns from her sleeve and cheerfully offered them to the people opposite her: "Come, come, Your Majesty and Your Highness, try my candied hawthorns!"

Xie Xiao wanted to say that he didn't really want to eat candied hawthorns, but when he thought of Xue Lan's unpredictable mood, he still tremblingly accepted them.

The young emperor took a small bite of the candied hawthorn and almost died from the sweetness.

Xue Lan heard the sound of him biting through the candy coating and asked expectantly, "Do you like it? I coated it with four layers of syrup!"

Judging from Xie Xiao's expression, Xue Tong knew that this candied hawthorn coated with four layers of syrup was incredibly delicious. It was so sweet it made His Majesty's face scrunch up.

Xie Xiao remained silent for a long time, and Xue Lan suddenly felt a little disappointed.

It seems she doesn't like it very much.

Xie Lingchao held the candied hawthorn that Xue Lan had given him, and looked at his younger brother, whose expression was pained.

Then, unexpectedly, Xue Lan called out, "Your Highness, please try some too!"

Xie Lingchao slowly opened his mouth: "Immortal Master, my tooth hurts!"

Xue Lan wore a malicious smile: "Just a tiny sip, a tiny little sip!"

Thus, even the eldest princess of the Great Shun Dynasty was forced to take a bite of the candied hawthorn.

Xue Tong walked behind Xue Lan and stood there, watching Xue Lan's unusual threat from the beginning without saying a word, quietly observing Xue Lan's next antics.

However, Xue Lan didn't do anything more outrageous afterward. Xue Lan asked Xie Xiao another question:

"Xue Lan heard that His Majesty commissioned the embroiderers of Qianxiu Workshop to embroider a painting... 'The Hundred Battles of Luoxia Mountain'?"

Xie Xiao thought Xue Lan was being very polite, even adding that she had heard something.

He didn't believe that the stories about immortals were just hearsay.

"Yes, I did indeed embroider a painting titled 'One Hundred Battles at Luoxia Mountain'!"

"Then let's remove the 'aunt' part and embroider... the flag of the Shengyu Army..."

After saying this, Xue Lan got up to leave. Her main reason for meeting the Xie siblings was regarding Ji Jinjin. Perhaps she had also originally intended to ask Xie Lingchao whether he truly had the ambition and determination to become empress.

At present, it seems that Xue Lan doesn't need to ask any more questions.

Xue Lan stood up and bowed deeply to the two people in front of him: "I have said what I needed to say, and it is time for me to go down and see the lantern festival!"

Xie Lingchao looked at the girl in front of him. The girl suddenly stood up and, with a sudden burst of courage, stared straight into Xue Lan's eyes.

Without saying a word, Xue Lan had already guessed what she was going to ask!

As the girl turned to leave, her snow-white dress and jet-black hair resembled an intricate ink painting. Her voice was low and solemn: "Your Highness has never seen a blind person watching a lantern festival, just as the demons have never seen the human race counterattack, and the world... has never seen a woman become emperor."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Xie Lingchao's pupils contracted sharply.

The immortal had already led the little girl down from the second floor; his voice seemed to come from a great distance, both hazy and clear.

"My esteemed guests, in this world, there will always be someone who sets a precedent for all ages!"

Xue Lan left, and the clamor returned. The second floor of the teahouse, which had just been isolated from the world by the immortal's magic, returned to the human world. A girl in white was walking among the lanterns under the window, accompanied by a little girl in a pale yellow dress.

"Release the lanterns!"

A loud shout came from somewhere, and little flames slowly rose into the sky, gathering more and more, becoming a thousand eternal lamps that rose into the sky.

It's like a ladder to heaven extending into the sky, or a bright canopy.

Xue Lan and Xue Tong watched as the surrounding crowd fell silent. One by one, people clasped their hands together and began to make their wishes.

A devout murmur slowly echoed in Xue Lan's ears... It was a grand display of human fireworks!

What is the request?

Is the nation and its people at peace and well-being?

A perfect match?

A large family brings abundant harvests.

It is forever anticipating, forever hoping. Forever believing in the coming year, forever steadfastly watching over!
