Chapter 1696: Chapter 1688

The meaning of the Emperor Longteng’s decree was tantamount to granting that Princess Tyrant a Death Exemption Token.

Even the Empress Feng couldn’t afford to vent her spite on her.

But seeing that the Princess Tyrant actually wanted to become Chairman of the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association, the Empress Feng almost spat blood from rage.

Of course she would never agree.

Anyway, for the time being Emperor Longteng wouldn’t be reviewing memorials, so she simply bounced the memorial back.

Who knew that over at the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association, they kept pressing the issue without pause.

Could it be that in dignified Longteng Country there are no Spiritual Delicacy Masters left, that they’d let a foreigner take the Chairman’s seat?

"But the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association has been without a Chairman for several months already, it’s not suitable to leave it vacant for too long..."

Grandmaster Jin said.

He’d received quite a lot of benefits from Chang Hao, so he was thinking of helping the Princess Tyrant ascend to the position as soon as possible.

Although he hadn’t even seen the Princess Tyrant herself in person.

"I’ve already said it: no means no. As long as I’m still alive, that woman can forget it..."

The Empress Feng said through gritted teeth.

Yet just as her words fell, she heard a cold laugh.

"Empress Feng, it’s been a while. I trust you’ve been well."

The doors and windows of the Imperial Study Room swung open at the same time.

Outside the door, all those guards of the Imperial Army had vanished.

Grandmaster Jin’s hair stood on end, and he barked out a shout.

"Who’s there?"

The only reply he got was the air filling the entire hall.

Outside, no figures could be seen.

That only made it all the more terrifying.

"Grandmaster Jin, you withdraw first."

The Empress Feng’s face also changed slightly.

But compared to Grandmaster Jin, her expression was still relatively composed.

She signaled for Grandmaster Jin to step back.

"Empress?"

Grandmaster Jin hesitated, glancing at the Empress Feng.

The Empress Feng’s expression was a bit strange.

"It’s an old acquaintance of mine, nothing to worry about."

Once the Empress Feng finished speaking, Grandmaster Jin could only retreat.

In the instant Grandmaster Jin exited the Imperial Study Room, the doors and windows of the Imperial Study Room slammed shut in unison.

Outside the Imperial Study Room, the guards had all collapsed to the ground.

They were still breathing, but all were in a faint.

The intruder’s skills were eerily formidable.

The Empress Feng actually had such a highly skilled old friend?

Grandmaster Jin couldn’t help but secretly break out in a cold sweat.

He didn’t dare utter another sound and hurriedly withdrew.

Inside the Imperial Study Room, the Empress Feng was left all alone.

After the doors and windows closed, no other shadows appeared.

The Empress Feng started for a moment, but her expression quickly shifted from worry to delight.

Because in the corner of the wall, she saw a golden Feitian Centipede.

"Congratulations to Poison Venerable on successfully cultivating the Puppetry Technique."

The Empress Feng looked at that centipede and bent in a formal salute.

That Feitian Centipede slowly crawled closer.

"Empress Feng is just as beautiful as ever, just like back then."

The one speaking was precisely that Feitian Centipede.

But the voice and tone were exactly those of the Poison Venerable.

The Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, and there was that mysterious shadow present as well.

For outsiders to slip in without a sound was not an easy feat.

But a centipede was far less conspicuous.

"Poison Venerable, spare me the small talk. Since you’ve come, why haven’t you made a move yet? It’s been so long, and Chu Beiqing is still alive and well."

The Empress Feng’s expression darkened a few shades.

Her tone clearly showed that Poison Venerable’s arrival was no surprise to her; there was even a hint of reproach.

"Empress Feng seems to have misunderstood something. Back then, our transaction had already concluded. The fact that Chu Beiqing did not die was your decision, wasn’t it?"

The centipede said unhurriedly.

Just as Master Mo had said, the Poison Saint and Chu Beiqing had no direct grudge between them.

The Poison Saint would not poison people for no reason. The reason Chu Beiqing carries poison on his body is entirely because of the Empress Feng.
