She smiled and spoke, her voice incredibly melodious, exuding an irresistible authority.
As many people stood up, they couldn't help but look up at Lady Sikong in awe, quickly lowering their heads, afraid to meet her gaze, as if doing so would be a desecration.
Lady Sikong walked over slowly, her movements extraordinarily graceful and noble, like a goddess descending to the mortal realm, captivating everyone's hearts.
As Lady Sikong approached, she glanced at the Qilin Crown Prince, seemingly recognizing him.
Although she did not show any acknowledgment, that single expression made the Qilin Crown Prince's heart race, blood surging in excitement.
Beside him, the Dark Night Heir stood straighter, revealing his most confident and handsome side, even though he knew Lady Sikong would never look at someone like him. Deep down, however, there was always a fantasy—what if?
It wasn't just him; countless peerless geniuses of kings around were filled with excitement, yearning for Lady Sikong's favor at that moment. Just a single glance from her would make their lives feel complete.
"We are aware of your arrival, Esteemed Lady, and have specially prepared some divine fruits as a token of our sincerity. I hope you will graciously accept," the Qilin Crown Prince hurriedly said, trying to maintain his composure.
Lady Sikong merely glanced at the tables and chairs nearby, surrounded by the colorful qilin divine light, with countless treasures creating a magnificent scene.
This glance made everyone around hold their breath.
After all, they had put in a lot of effort to prepare for this moment, and if they could win Lady Sikong's favor, it would bring them great satisfaction.
However, after that brief look, Lady Sikong continued to walk forward, stirring the hearts of the crowd.
As Lady Sikong approached, the Qilin Crown Prince couldn't help but puff out his chest, striving to keep his demeanor, elegant and composed, and smiled, "Your Excellency, let me take you to..."
Yet, while the Qilin Crown Prince awaited her with the most graceful posture, Lady Sikong did not stop. Instead, she flowed past him like water, her gaze completely ignoring him as she looked towards a cliff not far from Skyreach Peak.
There, Qin Chen stood with his back to everyone, gazing into the distance at the Dark Ancestor Land, entirely oblivious to what was happening behind him.
It was as if Lady Sikong's arrival did not stir anything within him at all.
Such a stark contrast in demeanor caused the expressions of all present to darken instantly.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lady Sikong slowly walked towards Qin Chen, completely ignoring the attentions of the crowd and the actions of the Qilin Crown Prince.
This left the Qilin Crown Prince frozen in place, all his prepared words suddenly stuck in his throat, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly.
Though he wished for Qin Chen to anger Lady Sikong, he never expected her to be drawn to Qin Chen immediately.
He hoped that Lady Sikong would notice all he had done and be moved by it.
Under everyone's gaze, Lady Sikong stepped forward, her brow slightly furrowing as she looked at Qin Chen's back. In a moment, she was already close to him.
Lady Sikong's presence, like that of a goddess descending from above, made the Divine Phoenix Fairy and others guarding Qin Chen hurriedly bow, trembling as they said, "We greet you, Esteemed Lady."
Even Fei E quickly bowed, his expression respectful.
He was the inspector of Sikong Sacred Ground, and Lady Sikong was the heir of that place. Although he was currently with Qin Chen, he could not be disrespectful in front of Lady Sikong.
Only Qin Chen remained unmoved, as if he didn't even realize someone had arrived behind him.
Such an action immediately ignited the anger of the Dark Night Heir and others.
Lady Sikong's gaze swept over the holy son of Tianhe and the others, causing them to tense up, their throats dry with nervousness.
At that moment, the holy son of Tianhe and his peers were filled with emotion.
Although they were geniuses, what did their factions amount to in front of Lady Sikong?
