Chapter 1122: Over and Over Again I
“Her Highness is really something. These spirit beasts are so ferocious, but she was capable of whipping them into shape.”
“That’s true. Perhaps, Her Highness is the only one who is well regarded by the spirit beasts, just like the Ninth Emperor who created this realm.”
“Although Her Highness doesn’t admit it, she must be related to the Ninth Emperor. She is just humble.”

Under the setting sun, the crowd was abuzz with chatter.
Out in the street, Fu Qingjiu was wearing a snowy white robe, her face was enchantingly gorgeous and resembled the radiant peach blossom.
As if she did not hear the flattering chatter, Fu Qingjiu got up the green horse and galloped after the spirit beasts.
The bronze forged palace gate was so majestic and sacred in the dazzling light.
A group of guards was standing still like mountains, guarding the palace gate, quiet and solemn as usual.
But soon, the guards noticed that something was wrong…
Not far away, earth-shattering stomps were heard, as if hundreds of thousands of troops were trampling past the gate, leaving a large cloud of dust lingered in the air that did not dispersed for a long while.
One of the guards rubbed his eyes that were widened in shock. Countless spirit beasts were charging at the guards at a terribly high speed, right before him.
“What… what has happened? Why are there so many spirit beasts?” Stunned, the guards’ eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
There were tigers, leopards, and jackals… but why would there be a rabbit among these spirit beasts? Those tigers, leopards, and jackals did not prey on the rabbit?
“Look! Isn’t Her Highness at the back of the spirit beasts?”
Seeing Fu Qingjiu who followed closely behind the spirit beasts, the eyes of the guards lit up with hope.
Originally, these guards thought that the spirit beasts wanted to raid the palace. They had never thought that Princess Fu Qingjiu was at the back.
‘Oh, I heard that a herd of spirit beasts wanted to seek refuge in Haitian kingdom. Has Her Highness subdued these spirit beasts?’
“Don’t worry, since Her Highness has subdued these spirit beasts, open the gate and let them in!” The guard heaved a sigh of relief.
Fu Qingjiu had always been bringing spirit beasts back to the kingdom. Hence, this was not something new to the people of Haitian Kingdom. The only difference was… this time, the amount was large, but it was not something rare.
Creak!
The palace gate creaked open and the guards edged aside respectfully.

Not far away, Fu Qingjiu was riding on the green horse, followed by a large troop in a formidable array—the same thing when she went out of the palace.
However, the more Fu Qingjiu moved forward, the more worried she was.
‘These spirit beasts are moving toward… the palace?’
Fu Qingjiu had allowed these spirit beasts to step into Haitian Kingdom so that they had a place to stay. However, she was not the master of these spirit beasts. If they got into the palace… it would be fine when Fu Qingjiu was around, but what would happen when she was not in the palace?
Spirit beasts had always been living a wild and unrestrained life. The concubines in the harem too had always been free of constraint. When conflict loomed, the palace would sink into chaos.
Fortunately, there were warriors guarding the palace gate. They could stop these spirit beasts.
Before Fu Qingjiu could heave a sigh of relief, the gate that was once tightly closed was pushed opened…
At this time, all the spirit beasts seemed to turn into beasts like the wild horses that were freed from the fetters of control, flooding into the palace, and vanishing without a trace, leaving only a cloud of dust blowing at Fu Qingjiu’sface.
Seeing this, her face darkened a few shades…
