Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 228
Third-person POV
The faces of the guards drastically changed from Murong Qing’s words. But they decided to tolerate Murong Qing’s childish behavior
“Miss Murong, this servant doesn’t have the authority to execute your order. The matter of the Royal Palace and the people live in it are managed by His Majesty Emperor, Her Majesty Empress, and Her Majesty Empress Dowager. Except having permission from His Majesty Emperor, reconstructing the Royal Palace is strictly prohibited.” The guard spoke with a stern voice.
But then, a loud crisp sound echoed and caught the attention of the nearby servants. A hand mark was plastered on his right cheek but he didn’t budge even an inch. He kept smiling and stared at Murong Qing.
“How dare you to tell me what to do. Just destroy it, cousin brother will understand. He will even thank me to do it for him.” Murong Qing growled at the guard and walked towards the tower.
The guard only smiled and continued to follow her. after a few minutes, Murong Qing finally arrived at the front gate of Fei Hong Palace. She stared at the sign that was hanged on top of the gate.
“This…Cousin brother wrote this…and it is her name…” Murong Qing mumbled as her blood boiled from anger.
‘That witch! She fooled cousin brother to this point! Outrageous! If it is not because of the eyes, I would have killed her with my own hands!’ Murong Qing exclaimed in her heart.
She pointed her finger at the signboard, “Take it down.”
“Our apologies Miss Murong. We can’t do that without any permission from His Majesty Emperor.” The guard bowed to Murong Qing.
“I tell you to take it down!” Murong Qing scratched his face and left another mark on his face.
The other guard looked at him worriedly and he decided to step in.
“Miss Murong, His Majesty Emperor must have been waiting for your presence. How about Miss Murong ask His Majesty Emperor’s permission when you meet him?” the other guard suggested with a gentle smile on his face.
Murong Qing glanced at the other guard and nodded her head. He guided her into the Fei Hong Palace and gave a signal to his friend that was scratched by Murong Qing to get moving. his friend nodded his head and ran to catch up to them.
Suddenly, a shiver ran down their spines. They had practiced martial arts for their whole life so they could feel a bloodl.u.s.t aura that burst out of nowhere. They glanced at each other behind Murong Qing’s back and confirmed that it wasn’t only one of them who felt the aura.
After a few turns, Murong Qing’s face instantly brightened when she saw a handsome tall man sitting under a pavilion. She picked up her speed and extended her arms.
“Cousin brother!”

(Flashback)
When Murong Qing suddenly appeared at the main gate, a guard quick-wittedly sprinted to the Main Palace where Weisheng was currently torturing the ministers. He ran with all of his might and when he was near the Main Palace, he saw Qiyi walked out of the Main Palace’s gate with a wooden box.
“Imperial guard Qiyi! Imperial guard Qiyi!” the guard waved his hand to get Qiyi’s attention.
Qiyi turned his head as he heard someone called his name.
“What is it?” Qiyi asked him indifferently.
The guards halted in front of Qiyi and saluted before he spoke.
“Miss Murong had come again,” the guard panted heavily.
Qiyi knitted his brow and nonchalantly replied, “Throw her out like usual.”
“She has the Phoenix Badge in her hand!” the guard quickly said before Qiyi could take another step away.
Qiyi widened his eyes and grabbed the guard’s collar, “Explain!”
Then the guard started to explain everything that he saw at the gate.
“Miss Murong suddenly took out the Phoenix Badge from her sleeve and apparently her eyes changed into golden.” The guard explained with a stern voice.
“Golden?!” Qiyi exclaimed in shock.
The only family in this world that has golden eyes is the Xu family. Therefore, Murong Qing’s family which originally was a commoner to have golden eyes is impossible. Qiyi clenched his hand into fist and gripped the wooden box in his hand.
“I will immediately report this to His Majesty Emperor, you go back t your post. You did a great job.” Qiyi quickly left after he finished his words.
Qiyi ran back to the Main Palace and passed the wooden box to Qier.
“Watch over this for a sec. I have something important to report to His Majesty Emperor.” Qiyi spoke swiftly then disappeared into thin air before Qier could even reply to him.
Weisheng was sitting at Floating Lotus Pavilion while staring at Hong er’s earrings in his hand. He caressed the earrings and gave a gentle kiss. But then, he heard very faint footsteps approaching him at a fast pace.
Qiyi jumped down from the roof and kneeled in front of Weisheng.
“Reporting to Your Majesty Emperor, there is a report from the guard at the main gate that Miss Murong had come with Phoenix Jade Badge in her hand,” Qiyi explained in a sentence.
In that instant, black flames erupted from Weisheng’s body. Qiyi flinched from the killing aura that Weisheng excluded.
“What did you just say?” Weisheng looked at Qiyi with his blood-red eyes.
Qiyi gulped down his saliva and braved himself, “Miss Murong has the Phoenix Jade Badge wither and she has golden eyes, Your Majesty Emperor.”
The black flames on Weisheng’s body grew stronger and almost burned Qiyi’s face but he didn’t budge even knowing that the black flame could scar his handsome face. He was trained to not be fazed by any attack that was coming towards him therefore he didn’t even blink when the black flame was in front of his eyes.
“Golden eyes…Hong er ah…I’m sorry…because of me, you got hurt…” Weisheng clenched his jaw and brought Hong er’s earrings close to his chest.
Then out of nowhere, a sound of people bickering was heard from far away, “I tell you to take it down!”
“It seems like Miss Murong had reached here, Your Majesty Emperor,” Qiyi said as he glanced over to the source of the sound.
“En,” Weisheng hummed and the black flames around him dispersed into thin air.
He put Hong er’s earrings back to his sleeve and turned his eyes to the scenery in front of him, hoping that he wouldn’t lose his sanity when he saw his wife’s golden eyes in Murong Qing’s eye sockets. A few minutes later, a cheerful voice called out to him.
“Cousin brother!” Murong Qing ran to Weisheng with open arms.
Weisheng took a deep breath and pretended he didn’t hear anything.
“Y-Your Majesty Emperor…” Qiyi’s voice filled with pure shock.
Even though Weisheng didn’t want to see Murong Qing, Qiyi’s voice made him turn around. Just like Qiyi’s reaction, his pupil contracted as his heart stopped beating for a few seconds.
With gleaming golden eyes, Murong Qing stood in front of Weisheng and her eyes narrowed into a line as she smiled widely.
“Cousin brother! I miss you so much~ Why you didn’t send me a letter?” Murong Qing pursed her lips into a pout and twisted her hair with her finger.
Weisheng didn’t reply to her and kept staring at her golden eyes with wide eyes. Qiyi glanced at Weisheng and beads of cold sweat built upon his forehead as he had a bad feeling from seeing his emperor’s facial expression.
Noticing that Weisheng didn’t respond to her call, Murong Qing leaned her face closer to Weisheng’s. The distance between them was very close that their nose tip almost touched. Murong Qing knitted her brows into a cute frown and puffed her cheeks.
“Cousin brother~ Am I so pretty that you are speechless? Cousin brother~ Heeyy~ Cousin bro-” Just as Murong Qing was about to call Weisheng, her neck was grabbed by a large hand and her petite figure was hanging in the air.
