With a loud “bang”, the statue behind exploded on the spot.
Stones flew everywhere, but not a single innocent person was hurt.
This incident immediately caused an uproar among the whole population.
“The statue has exploded!”
“The statue of the Feng Royal Family has exploded!”
“The statue of the only daughter among the four children of the Feng Family has exploded!”
“What does this imply?”
“All these are fake!”
“Even the heavens can't stand it anymore and have started to give warnings!”
No one noticed that at the same time, a sly smile flashed across the faces of the last - ranked officials. They knew that the King, Su Mu, cared most about the statue of Feng Lingtong.
This seemingly accidental event was actually pre - arranged. A hole had long been drilled under the statue.
Before the sacrifice, someone had secretly placed gunpowder inside the statue. All this was for this very day.
For a moment, people were in a panic.
At this moment, a strong gale blew in the sky. The originally bright sun was quickly covered by surging dark clouds.
All of a sudden, the wind rose and clouds billowed. The air was filled with a sense of horror.
Many commoners huddled together, watching all this in front of them.
More or less, they were all terrified.
“Look, it's because we've believed in something we shouldn't have that the heavens have shown such strange phenomena.”
Those frightened commoners began to kneel on the ground, constantly mumbling prayers and words of repentance.
Only Su Mu still stood upright, watching all this in front of him.
The moment Feng Lingtong's statue shattered, an intense pain welled up in his heart. At this moment, he was breathing with difficulty.
He just stood on the square, looking at the sudden strange phenomena in the sky.
The leaves rustled in the wind, and the pebbles on the ground danced in the air. Large chunks of dark clouds drifted across the sky.
For a moment, the sky became much darker.
This phenomenon lasted for about a quarter of an hour and then ended.
The strong wind stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the whole sky became much more gentle. The previous dry heat was gone.
Even more miraculously, although it hadn't rained before, a seven - colored rainbow began to appear on the horizon.
Subsequently, they felt the sky getting brighter and brighter. Su Mu and the others quickly covered their eyes to avoid being blinded by the sudden white light.
The white light disappeared.
Suddenly, a young girl appeared in the sky.
The girl was dressed in a pink dress. Her dignified appearance revealed an indescribable charm. Her black hair fell to her shoulders, tied only with a pink ribbon. The pink color set off her skin with a faint pink hue. She was extremely beautiful.
The closer they got, the more clearly they could see her.
She was wrapped in a light - pink gorgeous dress, with a white gauze robe over it, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. The girl was just in her prime, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her skin was fairer than snow, extremely charming, and her beauty was breathtaking.
The girl was obviously very surprised at her sudden appearance here.
But when she saw the situation below, she quickly changed the direction of her body.
She stretched out her hands, maintained her balance, and gently turned. Then her toes landed on the ground.
The girl's eyes were very clear and beautiful.
Her appearance was exactly the same as the statue that had been destroyed before.
The person who came was Feng Lingtong.
She looked at her own body.
It seemed that she had returned to the age of fifteen or sixteen. This was the time when she was most beautiful and most charming.
Feng Lingtong only remembered that after her parents died, she had no more heart for other things. She returned to the Charm Forest and devoted herself to managing the Charm Clan. But later, she went to the Snow Mountain because that was also a place her parents had once been to.
When Feng Lingtong got there, it was already a flat ground.
She saw a river in front of her and just wanted to wash her hands.
But when she reached her hand into the water, a white light appeared in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was in this place.
Moreover, her body also seemed to have become much younger.
She gently frowned and looked at the kneeling crowd.
The young girl was extremely beautiful. Just this gentle frown made people feel heart - ache.
Silence, an unprecedented silence.
A gentle breeze blew, lifting Feng Lingtong's fine hair.
She scanned the surroundings.
Finally, her gaze was fixed on Su Mu, who was closest to her.
Feng Lingtong gently parted her red lips, and her voice was like the sound of nature.
“May I ask where this is?”
This voice brought those absent - minded commoners back to their senses.
They looked at Feng Lingtong, and then all knelt down in panic, looking uneasy.
It turned out that in this world, the Feng Royal Family really existed, and such a beautiful woman actually existed in reality.
“The Saintess has descended!”
“Hurry and kneel down!”
“It's our ignorance that has offended the Saintess. Please don't blame us, Saintess.”
Feng Lingtong frowned.
She was sure that she didn't know these people and had never seen them before.
She had never even heard the word “Saintess” they mentioned.
She was just Feng Lingtong, just the eldest princess of the Yun Dynasty, and had nothing to do with the word “Saintess”.
Seeing Feng Lingtong frown, the crowd panicked greatly. They thought that their previous unrestrained words had made the Saintess unhappy. Her sudden appearance must be to punish those who had caused trouble.
Those officials who had previously spoken against it.
At this moment, their heads were bowed lower than anyone else's.
How could this happen?
In history? This was the first time such a thing had happened, right?
They had thought that they could use this to strip Su Mu of his power and make the commoners question his accuracy as the king. But now, it seemed that they had provoked a god they shouldn't have?
“Sir, could you please tell me where this is?”
“Reply to the Saintess, this is the Qingyun Kingdom.”
The Qingyun Kingdom? Why had she never heard of it before?
After Su Mu answered, his gaze could no longer be shifted.
He had once wondered what she would look like if she were a real person. Now it seemed that all his previous speculations were not worthy of the real her.
When she truly appeared in front of Su Mu.
Su Mu only then realized.
It turned out that a woman could really combine such opposite words as gentleness, beauty, and sharpness all in one.
Feng Lingtong was puzzled.
“Do you all know me?”
The crowd nodded.
Feng Lingtong then asked, “Do you know who I am?”
“Feng Lingtong, one of the four children of the Feng Family in the Feng Royal Family.”
How? Everything matched?
Looking behind, Feng Lingtong only then discovered that the three standing statues were actually all members of their Feng Family. However, one of the statues had been destroyed like this.
Judging from the appearance, it should be her own statue that had been destroyed, right?
