Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

Chapter 49 Little Stone Emperor?

No sleep for one night.

The following day, people from the Rain Clan came to discuss matters.

They were naturally unwilling to swallow their anger, but since their clan's pride had been held hostage, they had no choice but to temporarily swallow their pride and accept it.

In particular, Yu Ziming possesses extraordinary talent; her spiritual insight is even rarer than mere combat talent, making her virtually unparalleled in the world.

Of course, there were also radicals, but those sent to follow and probe last night were dealt with, and after sensing the presence of a powerful inscription expert in the courtyard from afar, they dared not make any further rash moves.

"What happened yesterday was the fault of my clan. Please be lenient and release Zi Mo." Yu Zi Mo's grandfather arrived in person, putting on a very humble air.

This move caused the other members of the Rain Clan to frown slightly, but they ultimately said nothing.

Shi Zhao sat upright in the hall, one hand tightly holding Yu Zimo's waist, placing her sideways on his lap, while the other hand kneaded the girl's cheek.

The two were about the same age, but Shi Zhao was more than half a head taller than Yu Zimo.

Upon hearing this, she removed her hand from the girl's face, her fingertips slowly tracing down her cheek, then gently brushing across her chin and snow-white neck, finally resting on her delicate collarbone.

Shi Zhao blinked, chuckled, and said, "Alright, I've put my hand down."

"Little girl, are you playing a trick on us?" The Rain Clan member laughed in anger.

"I thought about it last night and changed my mind," Shi Zhao nodded, rested his chin on Yu Ziming's shoulder, gently blew a breath into the girl's earlobe, and said in a low voice, "I don't need you to come and redeem her. I think it's better for her to stay and serve me."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the girl in her arms tremble.

"How dare you, you brat, bully my Yu clan like this!" Even Yu Zimo's grandfather was enraged. If he really did that, wouldn't he be taking his granddaughter as a servant?

That would not only make his granddaughter wish she were dead, but the Rain Clan would also be utterly disgraced.

"You don't understand. I'm actually doing this for the good of the Rain Clan. One day in the future, you might suddenly realize what you've missed." Shi Zhao shook his head and smiled.

Outside the courtyard, several array flags fell, enveloping the courtyard. The magic array was instantly activated, and various runes intertwined, sealing off the area.

"How dare you spread such rumors and mislead the public! Today, we will execute you no matter what, as a warning to others!" someone outside growled.

Recently, the Rain Clan has been feeling that everything is going wrong.

First, their businesses in the Western Frontier were looted, and the inspectors sent out to patrol were also murdered. Now, this has happened again: someone in the capital has severely humiliated one of the clan's two young talents and even kidnapped the other, intending to take him as a servant.

This is an absolute disgrace, and many people naturally cannot tolerate it.

"No matter who she is or what her status is, she will die here today!"

"That's right. No matter how exceptional her talent is, if we stifle it now and deny her the chance to grow, then everything is meaningless!" someone said sinisterly.

Several warlike high-ranking members of the Rain Clan arrived, leading a group of clan elites, and surrounded the entire inn, leaving many people speechless with astonishment.

"Huh, what's going on at the Rain Prince's Mansion? Are they preparing for a major battle?"

The innkeeper appeared, but was ignored by the Rain Clan, who dared not speak out against him.

"Do you think you can easily manipulate me with just these people?" Shi Zhao remained unconvinced and calm.

Fourth Grandfather left with Third Grandfather and Aman late at night, leaving her with no worries.

In fact, she probably wouldn't need to lift a finger today. Fighting and killing might damage the plants and flowers, which would be terrible.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Release my clansmen, then bind your own hands and feet and become their slaves, and perhaps I'll spare your life!" A young expert said, raising his knife at her.

"They're really arrogant and domineering. Don't take themselves too seriously. They're just a royal family. To put it nicely, they've produced gods and are an ancient family."

Shi Zhao scoffed, "Actually, it's long since fallen into decline, just a run-down household. You think you can look down on the capital and arbitrarily decide the life and death of others? How laughable!"

"Ignorant brat, how dare you bark so arrogantly! My Rain Clan is the law here, and we can decide your life or death at will!" A middle-aged man from the Rain Clan spoke up, his expression extremely cold.

He stared at Shi Zhao, trying to figure out why the other party was so fearless, but even with his cultivation level which surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm, he couldn't see anything.

"I don't think I'll die here today, what do you think, little beauty?" Shi Zhao pinched Yu Zimo's cheek again.

"I..." Yu Ziming turned her head and saw a pair of eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? They were so beautiful, more dazzling and splendid than the Milky Way in the heavens, yet so indifferent and ruthless, sending chills down one's spine.

The next moment, she trembled and saw her own reflection in those eyes, and it seemed that she also saw a glimpse of her future.

"No, stop! Stop! Get out of here!" she suddenly shouted.

"It's too late," Shi Zhao said calmly, then laughed, tilting his head to the middle-aged man and saying, "You say the Rain Clan is the ruler here, but how come I remember this capital being the domain of my Shi Clan?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's pupils constricted sharply, and his expression changed drastically.

The faces of the other Rain Clan members also turned pale, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

"boom--!!"

Just then, the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed outside the inn, filled with murderous intent, followed by cries of agony. The magic array sealing the inn was violently broken.

"Your Majesty, we are late in coming to your rescue, please forgive us!"

A line of soldiers charged in, crowding the entire inn. A group of powerful individuals, surpassing the Spirit Transformation Realm, also arrived, eyeing the Rain Clan with predatory intent and exuding murderous aura.

"The...the Imperial Guard?!" Yu Zimo's grandfather's eyes rolled back and he collapsed.

The middle-aged man at the Inscription Realm also felt a chill run down his spine. What was going on with the Imperial Guard? Weren't they supposed to be mobilized without the Emperor's decree? And what did that "Your Highness" mean?

A chill ran from his tailbone straight up to the top of his head, and he didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

Even if he offended an ordinary prince or princess, the emperor would not send out the imperial guards, because there was no need for it, unless the person was more important.

When Shi Zhao saw that it was the Imperial Guards arriving, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Oh no, we've been outmaneuvered by Old Deng again!

She sent Ah Man to the palace to inform them that she was preparing to bring in a few palace experts to keep order, but what's going on when the Emperor brought in an entire imperial guard?

With such a commotion, plus that yell just now, which could be heard throughout half the capital, she probably hasn't even left the house yet, and all sorts of rumors are already flying around.

Great! It seems that tomorrow she will become the Little Stone Emperor, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of her life!

"You... never mind, forgive me, forgive me." Shi Zhao released the girl from his arms, scratched his head helplessly, and then said fiercely, "Throw all these treacherous and rebellious traitors into the imperial prison!"

She rubbed her face, and her original appearance returned to normal.

Although she hasn't fully blossomed yet, one can already see how stunning and breathtaking she will be in the future; she could easily be hailed as the most beautiful woman under the stars.

"Sizzle!"

Shi Zhao strode out, passing the young Rain Clan member who had just provoked him. He casually snapped the long sword in the young man's hand, then picked up the tip of the sword and pierced the young man's forehead.

"Clean this place up, and don't disturb the people."

Yu Ziming slumped in the still slightly warm seat, watching the person leave, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

She still couldn't see the person's past or future, but she had just seen a glimpse of her own future, so she shouted to warn him, but it was too late.

Furthermore, she realized that what that person had said before seemed to be true.

"What exactly did my clan miss...?"
