In King of Glory, the "Plunder" keyword has been completely exploited by Ah Li.

Previously, she and Xiaoyuan had always lived in the Xuanwei Forest of Yunmengze, and neither of them had a destined partner.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be it..."

"Ah Yao, do you have any thoughts?"

Shao Siyuan chuckled and nodded, unable to resist reaching out to pinch the little girl's fair, smooth, and adorable milky-white face again, inwardly sighing.

Ah Yao is just too cute. Every time, she has the urge to touch her, and this has been the case for many years without ever changing.

Indeed, little girls are the cutest creatures in the world!

What could I possibly feel?

"Like you said, when it comes to fate, there's no escaping it; we can only take it one step at a time..."

The little girl reached out her delicate white hand and removed Shao Siyuan's slender hand from her face, letting out a muffled sound as her mind raced with thoughts.

However, as the banquet began and the palace maids brought out one exquisite, beautiful, and fragrant dish after another, Ayao immediately put aside all the messy thoughts in her mind.

Swallowing hard, the little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement as she began to devour the delicacies, making indistinct noises as she went, completely unlike her previous sullen demeanor.

"Xiao Yuan... hurry up and eat properly..."

Seeing A Yao's comical struggle to digest her food, Shao Siyuan shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

She really is a complete foodie!

As long as you have food, you can forget all your troubles.

Shao Siyuan lowered her eyes, parted her cherry lips slightly, and took small bites of the various delicacies on the table. Her posture was elegant and her appearance was pleasing to the eye, showing the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.

...............................

The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the sky, and night quietly descended, deep and dark as ink.

After a series of exquisite dishes and fine wines were served, the banquet officially began.

The graceful and elegant dancers entered the main hall with neat and elegant steps and began to dance. The sound of orchestral music rose and echoed leisurely in the hall.

The dancer, draped in a pale pink gauze dress, moved with graceful movements, like a butterfly fluttering among flowers. Her figure was light and lithe, her lotus-like steps delicate, and her silk skirt billowed in the wind.

As the music played, her long sleeves billowed, like clouds obscuring the sun; at other times, her figure spun swiftly, like flying flowers entering a forest.

Jiang Che leisurely sipped a glass of fine wine, watching with great interest as a group of beautiful young women danced gracefully.

Some of these dancers were top performers at Chang Le Fang, while others were palace maids from Daming Palace. They were all beautiful and graceful.

Although she can't compare to beauties like Ali and Yunying, she is definitely a goddess in the eyes of ordinary people.

Needless to say, these dancers were all carefully selected to perform at such a grand occasion.

The movements were fluid and synchronized, clearly the result of careful rehearsal.

Jiang Che took a sip of the wine in his glass, finding it amusing.

It has been almost three months since Jiang Che transmigrated here, and this is the first time he has ever seen such a beautiful view.

Although when they were at Qingyun Manor, Ali and Yang Yuhuan would sometimes dance for him when they were in the mood, and their movements were coordinated and elegant, the impact was far less intense than it is now.

After all, the number of people is also a crucial factor.

"How is it? Isn't it great?"

"You idiot, your eyes are practically popping out of their sockets!"

Seeing Jiang Che so engrossed in his work, Yun Ying looked at him with a resentful expression and said sourly, reaching out her slender hand to pinch Jiang Che's waist.

What's so interesting about these vixens?

Is she prettier than me?

You idiot, don't you even look at me properly!

Dancing is so boring. When I have time, I'll give you a demonstration of martial arts!

"Pfft..."

Seeing Yun Ying's appearance, before Jiang Che could reply, Ali couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing so hard she was shaking. Shiranui Mai beside her also smiled, and some people couldn't help but chuckle.

How come she never noticed before that this young lady of the Yun family had such a charming and adorable side?

This jealous look is just too cute!

"Sister Ali... Sister Huowu, what are you laughing at?"

"Why aren't you doing something to this big idiot?!"

Yunying was baffled by A-Li and Mai Shiranui's sudden laughter. She puffed out her cheeks and huffed, reminding them.

"Stop it……"

"The banquet has already begun, and the Empress will be arriving soon..."

Jiang Che was also somewhat amused and exasperated. He gently patted Yun Ying's little hand to comfort her, as her jealousy was as strong as ever!

Yunying's appearance did not arouse Jiang Che's disgust; on the contrary, Jiang Che found the little girl quite adorable.

Women all have their little tempers, and as his woman, Jiang Che naturally spoiled her.

Moreover, Yunying has always acted with moderation. Although she has a bit of a temper, she is very sensible and would never cause trouble.

"Humph……"

Yun Ying gave a haughty snort before obediently sitting down next to Jiang Che.

What bad intentions could she possibly have?

She just wanted to get more of Jiang Che's attention.

........................

"Your Majesty is here!"

As a majestic voice resounded in the hall, the Empress finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Wu Zetian, dressed in a dragon robe, with her hair styled in a slanted bun and her long hair cascading down her shoulders, had a stern face. Her hands were folded together and placed horizontally across her lower abdomen. She looked straight ahead as she slowly entered the Golden Palace.

Wu Zetian exuded an aura of power, dominating all directions with her cold and unparalleled beauty. She was like a high and mighty deity looking down upon all living beings, exuding unparalleled elegance and grace.

The officials paid homage with reverence, bowing their heads in awe, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face, and shouted in unison.

"See Your Majesty!"

Guests rose from their seats, clasped their hands in greeting, and bowed respectfully, behaving with propriety and utmost respect.

"All of you, rise..."

Wu Zetian stepped across the white jade steps and sat on the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power. Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint. Her voice was icy, carrying an undeniable domineering aura.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

After receiving Wu Zetian's approval, all the civil and military officials took their seats and waited quietly for the empress to give her instructions. The Golden Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Wu Zetian's phoenix eyes swept over everyone present, her gaze lingering on Jiang Che for a moment, her expression inscrutable.

Ever since Haiyue mentioned it to her last time, Wu Zetian has been secretly observing Jiang Che. She has indeed discovered some unusual things about him, but she still can't believe that Jiang Che has any chance to become an immortal.

With her mind racing, Wu Zetian quickly withdrew her gaze, parted her lips slightly, and began to give her instructions.

"Today is the annual Double Ninth Festival, which also marks the start of the Tang Dynasty's Lantern Festival..."

"You have all come from afar and are distinguished guests of the Great Tang Dynasty. There is no need to be so formal..."

As she spoke, Wu Zetian unleashed her full power, and the formidable aura of a sixth-level Tribulation Transcending cultivator instantly enveloped the entire Golden Palace!

Everyone in the hall felt a sudden chill, an overwhelming fear gripping their hearts, as if they were being watched with thorns in their backs, or plunged into an ice cellar, their bodies shivering with cold.

Under the overwhelming pressure, they were nothing more than a drop in the ocean, as if the Empress could annihilate them instantly with a mere thought.

The Empress's power was like a towering mountain, which people could only look up to; it was like a vast ocean, which was unfathomable and made people feel breathless.

Having observed everyone's performance, Wu Zetian was satisfied and then restrained her imposing aura.

She held the Lantern Festival of All Nations, inviting other dynasties and noble families from all over the land to Chang'an, with the sole purpose of maintaining her influence throughout the world, and had no other plans.

Now that everyone present knows of his strength, there is naturally no need to deliberately maintain it.

Once Wu Zetian withdrew her terrifying aura, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, each with their own thoughts.

Haiyue, standing beside Wu Zetian, patted her large, full chest with lingering fear. At present, she only had the cultivation of the peak of the Mahayana stage, and she was also somewhat uncomfortable in the face of the Empress's terrifying and unparalleled pressure.

........................................

104: The Jiang sisters! Only children make choices; I want them all!

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats in turn, admiring the graceful and curvaceous figures of the palace maids, and began to whisper and converse quietly.

Wu Zetian made a brief appearance, and then quickly left.

After all, her power was too terrifying. If she stayed in the Golden Palace, the civil and military officials and envoys from various countries would not be able to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Wu Zetian was clearly aware of this, and she left gracefully with Shangguan Wan'er, leaving Haiyue to take charge of receiving the guests.

Surrounded by Mai Shiranui, A-Li, and Yun Ying, Jiang Che savored the unique wines and spirits of Daming Palace, admiring the graceful dances of the dancers in the main hall. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his expression was one of ease and enjoyment.

However, this pleasant atmosphere was quickly shattered by the arrival of Sun Ce and his sister Sun Shangxiang.

"Sun Ce of Jiang Commandery greets Young Master Jiang..."

"I have long admired Young Master Jiang's name. I brought my younger sister here specifically to pay him a visit..."

Sun Ce cupped his hands in a respectful bow, a smile on his face.

Sun Shangxiang's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at Jiang Che and the other two girls with curiosity, seemingly trying to figure out what was so unusual about Jiang Che that could attract the attention of these three stunningly beautiful girls.

"So it's Brother Sun Ce, please have a seat..."

Jiang Che nodded with a smile, gesturing for Sun Ce to sit down opposite him.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since Sun Ce was friendly to him, Jiang Che naturally wouldn't give him any attitude.

After receiving Jiang Che's approval, Sun Ce and his sister took their seats opposite Jiang Che.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Che got straight to the point and asked.
