The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

And after these teams left, a slender figure slowly emerged from the darkness, gazing into the distance.

He was dressed in black, with a jade belt around his waist. His handsome face was upright and his black hair fell to his shoulders. His eyes were as black as ink, his nose was straight, and his thin lips formed a sharp curve, with a slightly raised jaw like a carved sculpture.

The man stood tall, his black hair gently swaying in the evening breeze, exuding an inviolable nobility.

He stood silently on the horizon, motionless like a sculpture, blending into the night.

"Finally, it's about to begin... Go, go, after you come back, I will definitely give you a big surprise."

A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he whispered, "I promise, you will definitely like it."

His words were elusive and mysterious, making it difficult to grasp, sending chills down one's spine.

And as soon as his words fell, nine stunning figures suddenly appeared behind him.

They were nine exceptionally beautiful women.

Each of them was draped in white veils, covering their delicate bodies, appearing ethereal and graceful.

The nine women raised their slender hands and lifted the white veils, revealing exquisite and beautiful faces.

Each face was incredibly beautiful, with fair and translucent skin, as delicate as sheep fat white jade embedded in exquisite vases.

They were so beautiful that they seemed like Perfected Beings, like fairies stepping out of a painting.

When they appeared, the world seemed to lose its color, and the sun, moon, and stars appeared dim in their presence.

Their eyes shimmered with a coldness, exuding a strong aura of killing.

Most importantly, each of them emitted a Saint Realm aura, all nine of them were Saints!

And the strength of their aura was even more powerful than that of Gu Xuanji and Nangong Yunze, surpassing the old-generation Saints, and even faintly surpassing them.

"We pay our respects, our Lord!" The nine women in white dresses knelt down on the ground, showing utmost respect, their voices crisp and pleasant, intoxicating.

The nine Saints knelt before Qin Mu, their expressions respectful, not daring to raise their heads.

Their attitude of respect was completely unlike that of Saints, but rather more like humble maidservants, bowing their heads and showing utmost deference.

If outsiders were to know, it would surely cause a great uproar.

Because the pride and arrogance of Saints were unquestionable, they would never kneel before anyone. No powerful force had the qualifications to make a Saint submit, not even a Great Emperor in person.

Even if they were facing the Great Emperor, some proud Saints would not bow their heads, because it was a necessary mentality and bottom line for a Saint.

As a Saint, they were the cream of the crop, the pride of heaven, with an arrogance that ordinary people could not reach. Even if they were to perish, they would never allow themselves to kneel before others.

But at this moment, these nine women were willing to abandon the pride of being Saints and kneel before Qin Mu as their Lord.

This scene completely shattered conventional thinking and subverted the worldview of the world.

It turns out that Saints can really bow down and not hide their servility, and they are willing to bow down and submit.

Qin Mu stood there with his hands behind his back, his face sharp and angular, with a hint of laziness and casualness. His brows were filled with a disdainful indifference towards all living beings.

"You may rise, there's no need to be so restrained." Qin Mu waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the nine women Saints stood up, but still stood respectfully on both sides of Qin Mu.

Qin Mu looked at the nine women Saints in front of him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

These nine female Saints are the nine Saint puppets rewarded by the system.

Each of these nine Saint Realm puppets specializes in a specific domain, but this is just one of their abilities and not the most powerful.

Their most powerful ability is evolution.

These are nine true Spirit Communication puppets that can continuously cultivate and train themselves after birth to enhance their potential and become stronger.

They can even evolve into true living beings with autonomous consciousness.

When the system first bestowed them, these nine Saint puppets were only at the Saint Realm First Layer and did not have much self-awareness. They only knew to instinctively obey Qin Mu's commands.

Now, after Qin Mu's nurturing and the infusion of the entire power of Great Qin, using various rare materials and even Immortal Level materials, these nine puppets have been upgraded and evolved.

Now, these nine Saint puppets have already transformed and developed their own unique consciousness. They can be said to be living humans, although their way of fighting may be different from ordinary humans.

Moreover, their combat power is formidable, reaching a high level comparable to the Saint Realm Seventh Layer or even the Eighth Layer.

Even Saints of the same realm would find it extremely difficult to defeat them.

More importantly, these Saint puppets can continue to advance until they reach the peak of the Saint Realm or even higher, the realm of the Emperor.

This is the terrifying aspect of these Saint puppets.

Products from the system are always top-notch.

Qin Mu's gaze swept over them, with a satisfied smile in his eyes, and said, "The next matter will depend on all of you."

"Willing to serve our Lord!" A gentle and watery voice sounded, with a tone of utmost respect, as if listening to the teachings of a ruler.

The one speaking was a woman in white. Her features were exquisite and perfect, her skin was fair as snow, and her cascading black hair flowed down her back. Every expression and smile revealed her extraordinary beauty.

Her snow-white robe perfectly wrapped her graceful figure, and her chest was swollen, seemingly about to burst, making people unable to resist the urge to explore further.

She was Luo Xue, one of the nine Saints, skilled in assassination and covert operations. She had helped Qin Mu with many matters and was one of the most adept puppets he used.

"Very good, you have done well." Qin Mu's gaze was pleased as he nodded in satisfaction.

He reached out his finger and lightly stroked the cheeks of the nine Saints, feeling their tender and smooth skin. A tingling sensation like an electric shock spread through his palm, making him unable to resist kneading them again.

"My Lord." Luo Xue pouted, a blush instantly appearing on her fair and lovely face, her shy appearance incredibly endearing.

The other eight female Saints also lowered their heads shyly, burying their faces in their chests, not daring to look up. Their coquettish and shy appearance was enchanting, making people's blood boil.

However, regardless of their reactions, they did not stop them, obviously already accustomed to it.

Qin Mu laughed heartily, then resumed his imposing manner and said, "Remember, after this battle, there will only be one force and one voice left in the Awakening Heaven Domain and the Heavenly River Domain, and that is Great Qin!"

"We will follow our Lord's orders!" Luo Xue respectfully said.

The other eight women also nodded in agreement, saying in unison, "We will follow our Lord's orders!"

The nine soft and gentle voices converged together, creating an indescribable charm.

Qin Mu restrained his playful thoughts and slowly said, "This journey is extremely dangerous. A slight mistake could result in death. You must remember that no matter what danger you encounter, you must not engage in battle and leave first."

"We understand." The nine of them said in unison, their eyes flashing with a touch of gratitude.

With their awakened intelligence, they naturally understood Qin Mu's concern and care in his tone.

Qin Mu's gaze narrowed, and his eyes shimmered with dazzling golden light. He spoke with solemnity and dignity, "Prepare to take action!"

"Yes, my lord!" The nine female Saints responded in unison.

Then, the nine women's figures floated and swiftly flew towards the distance.

Qin Mu looked towards the place where the Heavenly River Alliance Saints had left, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you want to play, then I'll play with you. Let's see who will have the last laugh."

After he finished speaking, Qin Mu's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood, as if he had never appeared before.

............

Tianyong City is one of the necessary cities to pass through when traveling from Awakening Heaven Domain to Heavenly River Domain.

It is located at the foot of Tianyong Mountain, occupying the entire mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles. It is majestic and magnificent, like a giant dragon lying on the ground.

Although it is not as magnificent as Heavenly Wolf City, it is still bustling and prosperous.

In Tianyong City, there are various facilities such as commerce, restaurants, inns, and all kinds of trading places, pill stores, weapon shops, auction halls, and sect headquarters. It is thriving and prosperous.

In addition, there are countless armies stationed and patrolling around the city, and even Dao Severing Realm guards near the city gates.

If anyone dares to forcefully enter or commit a crime, they will be immediately arrested and severely punished.

Furthermore, there are numerous forbidden areas in Tianyong City, prohibiting flying, levitation, and destruction. Once discovered, they will be immediately captured and brought to justice.

Moreover, private fights are prohibited in Tianyong City. If anyone violates the rules, they will be hunted down by the entire city and have no way to escape.

Originally, this was the territory of the Ash Moon Dynasty, but after the Ash Moon Dynasty became a vassal of Great Qin, it became part of Great Qin's territory.

During this tense period, Tianyong City has long been heavily guarded. There are a large number of soldiers guarding the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy.

The city walls of Tianyong City are tall, and the city gates are heavy and ancient, revealing the traces of the years.

"Boom!"

With a earth-shattering sound, the city gates opened, and a group of soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords rushed out from the city gates.

They walked with agile steps, exuding a strong aura of killing intent. They had all experienced countless life-and-death battles and possessed astonishing combat power, making ordinary cultivators tremble in fear.

Among these soldiers, there were four people standing at the forefront. Each of them had a tall and slender figure, sharp and piercing eyes, and emitted an unparalleled aura of strength, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

They were the four commanders responsible for guarding Tianyong City.

One of the men, holding a silver spear, looked towards the direction of Awakening Heaven Domain with a solemn expression. He asked, "When do you think the army from Awakening Heaven Domain will attack here?"

The other three commanders glanced at each other, pondered for a moment, and two of them shook their heads at the same time, sighing, "We don't know about this either. We can only hope that His Majesty will arrive here soon to support us."

"I have a feeling that something ominous will happen in the next few days. The sense of unease is getting stronger and stronger." The man with the silver spear furrowed his brows with worry.

The other three commanders were startled at his words, then nodded in agreement. Indeed, this sense of unease had become increasingly strong, making people restless.

After all, they had been fighting for many years, witnessing countless bloody battles, and experiencing numerous storms. Therefore, they had a keen perception of danger.

Especially in this special period, their senses were even more acute.

"Our Heavenly River Domain is located on the border, with the weakest defense. If Awakening Heaven Domain really attacks, the fate of Heavenly River City can be imagined..."

One of the men sighed, a hint of sadness appearing between his brows.

The man holding the silver spear remained silent for a moment, then a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes as he angrily said,

"Yes, who can deny that? His Majesty possesses such a powerful formation. As long as it is deployed here, Heavenly River City will surely be safe. But His Majesty has yet to appear. Could it be that he has abandoned this place and treated us as cannon fodder?"

"I think His Majesty is afraid of Awakening Heaven Domain, so he used the formation in Chang'an City instead. After all, Chang'an City is the most important. What does Heavenly River City amount to?" Another man sneered, his words filled with disdain.

"You're right. Maybe His Majesty has already hidden away, cowering within the formation and dare not come out!"

"This incompetent ruler is afraid of death. In my opinion, we might as well join Awakening Heaven Domain!"

The other two also mocked, their words full of contempt and scorn. It was clear that they felt sorrow for the fate that awaited them and were dissatisfied with the lack of news from the absent ruler.

Why should they die here while the ruler, who claimed to personally lead the expedition, had yet to show himself?

Did these loyal and capable generals not deserve respect even in death?

At this moment, while the four generals were filled with indignation, in the high sky beyond their sight, there were faint flashes of light, a hundred of them, swiftly crossing the Shattering Void and disappearing.

Without alerting anyone.

...

PS: Today, I wanted to show you the scene I set up for the proposal, but I was too busy and forgot to take photos...

The whole process was not as romantic as I imagined. Instead, it was awkward, hasty, and rushed to an end.

Even the lines I prepared and the proposal background music I prepared didn't have a chance to play. The whole process was rushed and didn't achieve the effect I wanted...

But fortunately, the outcome was good.

Tomorrow, we will officially get engaged. I feel both excited and complicated, with a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

Of course, there is more joy. It's really not easy to come this far. We have had our ups and downs many times. I remember one time we had a serious fight. She was at her home, and I was at mine. She blocked all my contact information.

At that time, I was also angry, thinking that if she wanted to block me, then fine, we won't talk anymore. It's not like I have no one else, the next one will be better, the next one will be more obedient.

But that night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. I sat alone on the windowsill, drinking, feeling more and more sad. My mind was filled with memories of the past, and it was really difficult to let go. In the end, early the next morning, I booked the earliest high-speed train ticket.

I might be a bit of a "licking dog," but in a relationship, one side always has to give more, be more tolerant.

After I arrived at her house, when we saw each other, all the grievances, all the fights seemed to disappear. She held my hand, pinched me in anger, and I foolishly looked at her and said, "I traveled a long way just to see you once. Am I not romantic?"

She said, "Romantic my foot, you're so stupid. Go buy something. You can't go see my mom empty-handed."

So we held hands and went to the supermarket, bought a bunch of things, and went to her house to meet her mom. It was my first time going to her house, and I didn't expect it to be under these circumstances, this kind of opportunity.

It was only after that time that it seemed like our relationship officially entered another stage.

Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate.

Although marriage is tough and stressful, thinking about these things still feels beautiful. If we could just keep dating and not get married, that would be even better...

Finally, I want to thank all the big shots who sent gifts. Thank you very much.

I really want to share my joy, so I'll send a box of wedding candy to those big shots who sent big gifts. If you're in the group, just private message me, and I'll mail it to you. Consider it a share of the happiness~
