Miracle Doctor Abandoned Daughter The Sly Emperor's Wild Beast-Tamer Empress-Chapter 556: Ye Ling Yue Has Made Her Comeback

The ship from the Phoenix Manor was sailing along the waterway towards Da Xia.

After nightfall, Feng Shen listened to the gurgling sound of water from the ship bottom and could not go off to dreamland for a long time.

He was a light sleeper and could only sleep until dawn accompanied by Ye Ling Yue’s voice.

In the ten days after the disconnection, something called yearning took root and sprouted in his heart.

The Phoenix Edict had always been closely kept in his arms as if holding a treasure, and he let no one to touch it.

When the night got darker, he would habitually take it out and put it aside, or fiddling with it in his hands, hoping to hear the familiar voice.

However, time and again, he suffered disappointment all night long only to welcome another dawn with his eyes open.

This night, he saw a commotion passed from the Phoenix Edict.

Yes, it was the voice that he longed for and made his heart pounding.

“Ling Yue?”

Feng Shen sat up immediately and clenched his Phoenix Edict with excitement.

A familiar and pleasant laugh came through the other end.

“Feng Shen, I’m back.”

She finally came back.

Ye Ling Yue said airily that she had left the Star Cave and was heading back to Da Xia.

And Feng Shen told her that her family would also take part in this contest.

“I will definitely take part in the Imperial Contest. Help me to take a message to the Lan Manor and tell them everything is going smoothly according to plan.”

She said a few words to Feng Shen in a hurry, not mentioning when she would be back in Da Xia.

A few days later, Feng Shen arrived in Da Xia, and met with Ye Huang Yu who came to pick up all her family.

On the way back to the Phoenix Manor, Feng Shen saw the streets crowded with many martial artists equipped with weapons. There were also disciples of various sects who came and went in and out of the city. His messager Dao Nu told him that all these people came to participate in the Imperial Contest.

The Imperial Contest was a great event throughout Da Xia. While several years ago, the scale of the Contest could only be regarded as conserved due to limited national strengths.

This year was somewhat different.

The change happened all because of Prince Xia Hou Qi. He offered his advice to the emperor to arrange a special reward for attracting more young and promising fighters to participate. That was, those who could enter the top three in the Contest could be rewarded a Reincarnation Dan pill, and entitled post in royal court.

The practice had brought the influence of the Contest to a new level.

Besides some rouge fighters, even a number of young fighters from the second or third-rate sects were attracted to participate just for the sake of a reincarnation Dan pill.

As a result, the participants of the Contest grew into an unprecedented huge number. Two extra arenas had to be set in the Palace, so competitions would held in altogether three arenas at the same time every day.

“The Sixth Prince have got ahead a lot after he became the crown prince, he has more sense than the Emperor.” Hearing this, Feng Shen just nodded his head.

Before he left North Qing, the North Qing Emperor had mentioned that Xia Hou Qi had agreed the intermarriage with North Qing and would set off to North Qing to send letter of appointment in a few days.

The changes took place in Xia Hou Qi were much related to Ye Ling Yue’s “death” since he was deeply infatuated with Ye Ling Yue. The news of Ye Ling Yue’s death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

However, Feng Shen had no intention to correct this mistake on his own initiative. He would be happy there was one less rival in love.

But what Xia Hou Qi did, to some extent, had intensified the contradiction between the Hong Manor and the Royal Court.

These days in the Hong Manor, there had also been a surge of dark tides.

“Hum, the Prince is very shrewd. Reincarnation Dan pill and official post are both his doings. Obviously he is intent on cultivating his own power to deal with our manor.”

As soon as the news of the Imperial Contest was announced, the Hong Manor was very dissatisfied, especially Hong Fang.

Due to the Emperor’s sickness these days, government affairs handed over to the Crown Prince. The Prince had taken advantage of this opportunity to suppress several ministers attached to the Hong Manor. Hong Fang’s political views also got reprimanded by him.

Hong Fang had been a prince teacher for several years. Even Xia Hou Hong had never dared to talk to him like this. Now Hong Fang gotten lambasted in front of so many civil and military officials. How could he swallow this rage and grievance?

“Papa, may you not be angry. In my opinion, Xia Hou Qi’s provocative approach obviously aimed at finding fault with you and then taking the opportunity to oust your post of Tai Fu. Grandpa also warned us repeatedly before he retreated for cultivation that no matter what happens, we should wait until he come back. Grandpa will definitely return within a few days or less than a month.” Hong Ming Yue had already expected the situation as today when she bred the idea of killing Xia Hou Qi in the Star Cave.

Now Hong Qing Yun had taken Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill and was about to start breaking through the Divine Realm.

As long as Hong Qing Yun succeeded in his breakthrough, the rebellion of the Hong Manor and the subsequent regime change would become inevitable.

Hong Ming Yue’s words calmed her father’s mind a bit.

“Ming Yue, how positive are you to win in this contest?”

Hong Fang had always been very sure about his daughter’s strength, but this time, Xia Hou Qi did not hide his intention to reward the winners the Reincarnation Dan pill. Obviously, he just did not want Hong Ming Yue to win the first place.

Now a huge number of disciples from different sects had entered the capital to compete for the Dan pill. Hong Ming Yue’s chances of winning become dim.

“Father, I won’t lose. Yesterday I just broke through the second level Reincarnation Realm.” Hong Ming Yue said lightly.

“Is it true?” Hong Fang was overjoyed. No wonder Hong Ming Yue was not in the manor all day yesterday. She turned out to be looking for the breakthrough.

His daughter was truly a genius. She broke through the second level Reincarnation Realm right after the first level. Such achievements were even hard for Hong Fang to follow.

“It's true, so father can rest assured this time, you daughter will certainly live up to your expectations.” Hong Ming Yue deliberately went out of the city to cultivate for the breakthrough the second level Reincarnation Realm because she would like to hide the truth from people in Da Xia.

After breaking through the first level Reincarnation Realm, Hong Ming Yue’s strength was not enough to convince Hong Fang that she would surely win the first place in the Imperial Contest. Now that she had taken a higher level of accomplishments, her victory was assured.

“As I’ve said, you are more talented than that Ye Ling Yue, you deserve the title of first talent of the Hong Manor.” The thought of Ye Huang Yu and Nie Feng Xing’s practices in court these days still made Hong Fang feel angry.

Hong Ming Yue had always been his pride.

But since Ye Ling Yue’s appearance, her light prevailed unwittingly.

In North Qing, she refined the Five Color Reincarnation Dan pill, and died together with the Demon Wolf in the Star Cave. Too many aureoles suddenly enveloped Ye Ling Yue, which actually eclipsed Hong Ming Yue, who had been outstanding since childhood.
