Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist - Chapter 283
“Every person who is present in this hall today has at least some level of knowledge about the prophecy that the Immortal of Fate made during the birth of the current ruler of the Golden Dragon Throne.”
Empress Dowager’s voice came out clear and full of power as she addressed the people who were present in the hall.
Li Ming could feel her heartbeat increasing as she struggled to stay as calm as possible.
When no one commented about her appearing at the banquet with the group of the Five Greater Immortals and the Shadow Lord, she thought that she probably won’t be facing this kind of situation during the banquet.
However, she had no idea that it would be the Empress Dowager who would bring the topic in front of everyone.
“The prophecy was about the ‘Chosen One’ who was destined to accompany the Five Greater Immortals in their lives as their sole partner to bring happiness and goodness in our world.”
The Empress Dowager Continued without any care in the world.
“It was a shocking prophecy. However, it was still a prophecy made by destiny. Thousands of years passed and we never found the Chosen One. Not until very recently.”
The uproar that took over the quietness of the hall this time was far much stronger than before.
Li Ming felt her body relaxing as her soul registered the presence of her mates near her.
She looked up to find all six of them standing around her in a protective circle as they all almost glared at the Empress Dowager.
Looked like they too were not aware of the second announcement.
Neither of them came too close to her, nor they touched her but she knew that they were there for her.
“The Chosen One is far better than what was said in the prophecy. She is powerful. She’s is pure and true. She follows the path of justice and she cares about the mankind. I’ve seen her growing into a beautiful woman with a strong backbone. I’ve seen her strong bonds with my children.”
The way Empress Dowager’s voice turned softer as she gazed at Li Ming with eyes filled with warmth, left no space for questions.
Almost everyone in the hall realized exactly who was the ‘Chosen One’, the next ruler of the entire Immortal world.
And if Empress Dowager failed to identify that person then the presence of the Five Greater Immortals and the Shadow Lord around the new Thunder Immortal, was enough to answer their questions.
Exactly how good a fate this little girl was carrying?
This was the question that appeared in everyone’s mind as they waited for the Empress Dowager to confirm what they already knew.
“Let me introduce to you all, the Chosen One who is destined to share this lifetime with the five most powerful Immortals of our world along with the Shadow Lord – Immortal Ming.”
Li Ming felt her heart stopping as the Empress Dowager finally decided to end her suffering.
This time there was no cheers from the audience, rather her ear registered a deadly silence. Or maybe there were really cheers ringing around her but her mind was just not ready to hear them.
“Since we have everyone present here, I’ll like to use this opportunity to announce a very happy and important news.”
Li Ming felt her mates becoming alert around her as if they were expecting the Empress Dowager to announce something bad.
Their reactions did nothing to calm her already racing nerves.
“At the time of the prophecy, everyone accepted it as an order from the fate and for a better future of the Immortal World. Since the day of their birth, the ruler of this realm, the Supreme Immortal, Moon Immortal and the Two Lords of the Demon Realm were bound together in a bond of fate to share the same life partner. Since the Chosen One has finally made her appearance after such a long wait, I don’t want to waste anymore time.”
Every single word that was leaving the Empress Dowager’s lips was making her nerves dance like crazy.
She had no idea how she kept on that calm and collected facade in front of everyone.
“Five years from now, these six lives are going to officially tie their bond in front of the Heavens and the earth, on the auspicious day of the Golden banquet.”
Li Ming felt her heart stopping as those words entered her ears. She felt the shock that descended over her mates and the rest of the people present in the hall.
But soon the hall erupted into cheers as everyone shouted their agreement with smiles plastering over their faces.
However, what made tears appear in her eyes was the feeling of happiness that took over her soulbonds that she shared with her mates.
They were happy, actually beyond happy as they did their best to control their emotions and not engulf her into their arms.
“And that same day, the Shadow Lord will be appointed as your closest friend and guardian. He will always be with the six of you.”
The Empress Dowager bestowed her last gift upon them and Li Ming was more than thankful towards her for not separating Zhang Yong.
Along with the six of her mates, she bowed to show her gratefulness and acceptance towards the decisions of the Empress Dowager.
“Thank you, mother!”
The Heaven Emperor whispered to his mother who smiled at all the six of them with stars in her eyes.
“What are you thanking me about? Huh? Are you thinking that I’m doing this for you? Don’t even dare to have such misconception. I’m doing this because I’m tired of having no to take care of this old body of mine. In this way, not only I’ll get such a sweet daughter by my side but having such five powerful husbands, I’m sure my daughter-in-law will soon give me little grandchildren to play with.”
The elegant Empress Dowager suddenly turned into a complete new person as she outrageously spoke out those words in front of so many prople.
Li Ming felt her face turning bright red as she tried her best to not use a teleportation array and disappear from there.
