Chapter 548 -258: The Answer (Requesting Monthly Votes)
“The familiar slap.”
Lord Nutouch Mountain was slapped, but it calmed him down instead; he carefully savored the Empress of the East’s slap as if he understood something.
“So it is, is that it?”
Nutouch Mountain lay on his back on the shattered earth, looking at a diminutive figure near the corner of his eye, which was like an ant—Zongbu Mifei, the youngest of the Four Gods and the one with the strongest individual destructive power.
“You didn’t attack, did you see it from the start?”
“Mm.”
Chang’e, with her aloof nature, said indifferently, “She is Bai Yao, but also not.”
Zongbu Mifei did not make a move, and among the four, it was only Yu Yuan Weng, with the lowest intelligence and the most stubborn personality, who truly got angry.
Lord Nutouch Mountain also got carried away while speaking halfway through, and that’s when he decided to strike.
But that slap, it was too familiar.
In the past, Bai Yao had interacted with the Four Gods, slapping Nutouch Mountain away with one slap and making Yu Yuan Weng doubt his existence with a punch. Even though they were all in their most basic, unreleased state, Bai Yao was just a mortal!
A mere mortal, yet he managed to do something that shook Miracle Power, which was simply inconceivable.
But if Bai Yao was indeed the Empress of the East, then all of this wouldn’t be strange at all.
“The personalities are too different.”
Although Bai Yao was also quite arrogant, he wouldn’t start fighting just like that, without even a word.
Especially with Zongbu Mifei, their relationship was not just generally good. Yet now, the Empress of the East didn’t show any intention of interacting with Chang’e, completely choosing to ignore it as if she did not acknowledge their past relationship.
“What about the boss? What is she doing?”
Lord Nutouch Mountain looked puzzled at Ganqi God, “At a time like this, she should have stepped forward, right?”
Among all who were present, only Archduke Ali had an equivalent status to that of the Empress of the East, but she had not come; instead, she chose to avoid being seen, which puzzled Lord Nutouch Mountain greatly.
What was the reason that made her make such a choice?
“Come back, let her go.”
However, in the next moment, Ali’s voice resonated in the minds of the Four Gods simultaneously, “She is not the Bai Yao you know.”
“Mm?”
“Eh?”
“Big sister?”
“Did the boss speak?”
If the Four Gods really started fighting, with their cooperation, it would naturally be impossible to defeat the Empress of the East, even if she was injured, they still wouldn’t be able to handle her on their own.
But to stop the Empress of the East, to prevent her from getting away, that wouldn’t be a big problem.
What’s more important is that once the Empress of the East is held back here, most of the Masters of Miracles from the entire Miracle Continent will come, and even the Emperor Candidates, the Empress of the Far North, and the Holy Emperor might possibly take action.
You, the ruler of the Northern Continent, what are you trying to do by coming to my New Continent?
“Are you asking me to ignore this, boss?!”
Yu Yuan Weng was very dissatisfied with Ali’s order; they had a very special relationship with Duke Li, but this time Ali issued a deadly command, “Get back here! You idiot! You stupid old man!!”
“Wha-?”
Yu Yuan Weng was stunned, his eyes wide and dumbfounded; he had no idea what he had done wrong.
“Alright, alright, let’s go, brother Yu Yuan.”
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
Nutouch Mountain and Ganqi God, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Yu Yuan Weng and started walking back.
Seeing this, the Empress of the East did not stop them but instead released the restraint, allowing them to leave.
If it were anyone else, such an offense against herself, the Empress of the East would definitely have given a thunderous punishment.
‘Come and go as you please, who do you think I am?!’
However, considering the Empress of the East’s deep connection with Zhu Xia Country, although she was angry, she did not lose her temper. After all, the root cause of Yu Yuan Weng’s anger was Bai Yao, and this Bai Yao…
“Your Majesty, are we just letting them go?”
Gongsun Wu was startled by this treatment: ‘In the past, those who offended Your Majesty were crushed and scattered, but they managed to leave unscathed. Am I dreaming?’
Since when did the Empress of the East become so easy to talk to? It was simply unbelievable!
“`
“Forget it,”
Ying Muyao said, then added, “Besides, I know what you’re thinking, Little Wu.”
“Please forgive me, Your Majesty!!”
Gongsun Wu knelt on both knees, her posture submissive: “This servant meant no disrespect to Your Majesty; I simply thought that with your status, you would never lay a hand on a mere mortal.”
In Gongsun Wu’s mind, the Empress of the East was supreme, but this reverence was not solely because of her power, but also her magnanimity.
To put it bluntly, even if Ying Muyao had nothing now, Gongsun Wu would still stay by her side, protecting her to the death.
Because what she admired and loved was the Empress of the East herself, not her identity, power, or rights.
“As long as it’s your command, not just one person, but a hundred, a thousand,” Gongsun Wu declared, “I am willing to do it for you!”
If someone like Bai Yao could heal the wounds of the Empress of the East, Gongsun Wu was willing to become an executioner; she didn’t care!
“Little Wu, you’re being a bit foolish today,”
“Ah?”
“Do you think there is anyone in the Eastern Empire deserving of such a ceremony to welcome them?”
“Eh?”
Gongsun Wu was momentarily taken aback; she furrowed her brows but quickly relaxed them: “You, it was you, that, the girl we welcomed more than a decade ago was…”
“It was me.”

Ying Muyao continued, “I didn’t take over anyone’s body, nor will I ever take over anyone’s.”
The Empress of the East was a true monarch, and a person like her could never allow her life to depend on an unrelated mortal, like a parasite clinging to life; she would never accept that.
She would rather die than cling to a life in such a meager state!
“Then Bai Yao…”
“She is very special,” the Empress said, “I didn’t take over any body, I chose reincarnation, and that was 28 years ago.”
“This type of reincarnation comes with side effects, I lost part of my memory.”
Bai Yao didn’t know she was the Empress of the East, so she got along well with the four deities of Zhuxia Country, but the Empress of the East was not Bai Yao. How could a ruler of a nation acknowledge those memories?
This was also the reason the Empress of the East did not want to be close to Zhu Xia Country; she did not want to have any more ties with the four deities.
“Old Yu Yuan Weng is angry for Bai Yao, but also for me.”
Ying Muyao had been enduring patiently, considering this aspect. Gongsun Wu understood the intricate relationships and asked, “But if you were not there back then, who was it that sat on the Emperor’s throne and gave orders?”
“Who else could it be.”
“The Heavenly Empress?!”
Gongsun Wu instantly thought of someone; the Heavenly Empress had once been trusted by the Empress of the East but seemed like a completely different person in the past two decades.
Yet, because of this, the Heavenly Empress learned some secrets about Ying Muyao and now apparently wished to use them as leverage to hold her hostage.
“It’s a pity that despite all you did, your injuries did not heal; instead, you found yourself in a dire situation.”
Gongsun Wu’s mood was downcast: “We are incompetent, causing you, causing you to suffer…”
“When did I say that reincarnating as Bai Yao was to heal my injuries?”
Although everyone outside was talking about it, how the Empress of the East was seriously injured in a battle with the Empress of the Far North, Gongsun Wu knew better than anyone that this was utterly unfounded.
Because long ago, the Empress of the East had already been on a decline, and ever since then, the Empress of the Far North had chosen to avoid conflict.
The Empress of the Far North was a proud and arrogant person; she would never take advantage of someone in trouble. That would be an insult to her.
“It wasn’t to heal the injuries, nor was it to prolong life…”
Gongsun Wu was confused. What exactly was Ying Muyao’s purpose with this move? She discarded her past physical body and chose a different lineage; what was the objective?
“That is what we seek on this journey, the answer—we seek him!”
The Empress of the East disdained the thought of reincarnating as just anyone, and she would rather die than abandon her original body. But if the new body was related to him, then the past body and lineage ought to evolve with the times.
“Alright, let’s continue onward,”
Ying Muyao dispelled all the Miracle Power and allowed all the true spirits to return to their places. Then, with a wave of her hand, the boat immediately recovered and continued to carry the two women forward.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what is the correct answer?”
“Miracle.”
The voice of the Empress of the East echoed in Gongsun Wu’s ears: “If he possesses many miracles, then he is the answer I seek.”
