My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Qingfeng had arrived inside Lingyun’s Imperial Palace at this moment, unaware that armies raised by the four kingdoms and three supreme-level sects were at the border.

Deep inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor of Lingyun lied on a bed, unconscious.

His body had already deteriorated to just skin and bones; all of his blood and muscles had withered away, as if he had died. His soul was also very vulnerable, on the verge of dissipating.

The Second Prince kneeled beside the Emperor and called out nonstop, “Father, Father, wake up. I’ve returned with the monarch soul fruit.”

Not matter how hard the Second Prince called out, the Lingyun Emperor’s eyes remained closed, without any sign of opening.

Tears appeared on the Second Prince’s face, as he turned to say, “Qingfeng, please save Father! He is near death.”

Qingfeng nodded and said, “Don’t worry Second Prince, I’ll place the monarch soul fruit inside his mouth and give him vital essence until his spirit energy recovers. It won’t be long until he wakes up.”

Qingfeng came beside the Emperor of Lingyun, and with a thought, he took out the monarch soul fruit from his interspatial ring.

As soon as the monarch soul fruit appeared, it unleashed a pulse of spiritual force in an attempt to escape.

As an imperial grade elixir, it had hints of spirituality, as if it knew it was about to be eaten.

Qingfeng’s eyes filled with coldness as he activated the Heavenly Immortal Chant to form a ray of immortal vital essence that suppressed the monarch soul fruit, preventing it from escaping.

Qingfeng tried to place the monarch soul fruit into the Lingyun Emperor’s mouth, but he found that he was unable to open the Emperor’s mouth.

He had no other option but to call out the Fire Dragon’s soul from the depths of his mind, and ask it to refine the monarch soul fruit.

The Fire Dragon released the energy of a sacred dragon, which first suppressed the monarch soul fruit and then formed a bolt of red flames.

This red flame contained scorching hot temperatures that rushed onto the surface of the monarch soul fruit and turned the monarch soul fruit into a ray of golden energy.

This golden energy was highly regenerative and entered into the depths of the Lingyun Emperor’s mind, beginning to heal his broken soul.

Undeniably, the golden energy of the monarch soul fruit was too powerful; as soon as it entered the Lingyun Emperor’s mind, it healed his shattered soul.

Shortly after, the Lingyun Emperor’s pale face became rosier, as his energy slowly returned, despite still being a bit weak.

Qingfeng then placed his palm on the Lingyun Emperor’s shoulder, transferring his fire-element vital essence into the Emperor’s body and eradicating the coldness and curse energy .

Then Qingfeng frowned, because he noticed that the curse inside the Lingyun Emperor’s body was very powerful, and it couldn’t be eliminated using normal fire-element vital essence.

It was a black curse, like a leech, which was difficult to remove.

Murderous intent flashed before Qingfeng’s eyes as he channeled his golden flames into the Lingyun Emperor’s body.

The golden flames, that now reached eight thousand degrees in temperature, quickly engulfed the leech-like curse inside of the Lingyun Emperor and burned it clean.

The Emperor of Lingyun gradually recovered, as his blood fully activated and recovered its flow. His muscles were recovering as well, as his once wrinkled body regained some flesh.

Qingfeng took out a few body recovery elixirs from his interspatial ring and fed it into the Lingyun Emperor’s mouth.

All the elixirs he acquired were especially precious, because they were stolen from the princes he killed and were obviously very effective in recovering the Emperor’s strength.

After a moment, the Emperor gradually opened his eyes.

Although the Emperor’s body had recovered, he was still fairly weak and couldn’t stand up, but his spirit energy and muscles had regained some livelihood, while his life had also prolonged.

When the Second Prince saw the Emperor had woken up, he raced to the Emperor’s side.

The Second Prince said with excitement, “Father you’ve finally awaken, this monarch soul fruit truly is effective.”

The Emperor nodded and looked at the Second Prince with love. Even though he nearly died a moment ago, he still clearly saw everything around him and knew that his son had found the monarch soul fruit for him.

The Emperor of Lingyun looked at the Second Prince and said, “You’ve done very well, and today I’ll give you the throne to Lingyun.”

The Second Prince’s eyes lit with joy, while the others around kneeled down in a hurry, as servants shouted, “Long live the new Emperor.”

However before they could celebrate, a patrol officer covered in blood rushed in without knocking.

This patrol officer was a middle-aged man of forty-some years old and had been ordered to guard the borders of Lingyun. Now, however, his body was covered with over ten or so blade and sword wounds.

An old eunuch walked in, pointed at the middle-aged man and shouted, “Patrol, what are you doing?”

“The Emperor just passed the throne onto the Second Prince, he is now the new Emperor, how dare you break the rules and bring bad luck with all this blood?”

The middle-aged patrol officer ignored the old eunuch as he immediately kneeled to the ground and said, “Emperor and new Emperor, the Emperors of Fiery-Sun, Golden-Arrow, Soil-Border, and Clear-Wood have all led armies of one million soldiers each into our borders. They demand we hand over Qingfeng, or else they will destroy Lingyun.”

“We have the Five Country Treaty with the other four kingdoms to not attack each other. Why are the four kingdoms attacking us now?” the Emperor said with shock in his eyes.

Amongst these five kingdoms, Lingyun was the weakest, and its Emperor was also the weakest. Now that he heard the other four more powerful kingdoms were attacking, his face turned white with fright, and his newly recovered body trembled as if it was about to faint again.

The Emperor looked at the Second Prince and said, “You’re the new Emperor now, you decide.”

The Second Prince’s face grew white. He knew how powerful those other four kingdoms and Emperors were, and even their troops were much more powerful than his.

The four kingdoms, along with four million troops would definitely eradicate Lingyun. Must Lingyun be destroyed on the day he became Emperor?
