Looking at the gloomy Luo Feng, the empress was silent for a moment. Then, she waved her hand, and a bead like a luminous pearl slowly emerged.
The bead was dazzling like a small sun. Once it appeared, it attracted all the attention in the hall.
The empress held the Star Bead in her hand and stared at it with her beautiful eyes. She said, "If I keep you with me, it will be a waste."
"Is that a Star Bead?"
Jiang Taiyuan's pupils shrank when he saw that. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Emperor Yan wouldn't want to give this Star Bead to Luo Feng to help him break through the astral body, would she?"
The empress's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. "So what if I do?"
Qin Sheng was dumbfounded. He couldn't help rubbing his ears, thinking he had heard wrong.
The Star Bead was a priceless treasure that everyone dreamed of.
It was precious because it could turn something rotten into something magical, allowing one to be reborn, reshape the body, and break through the astral body!
If one was already an astral body, swallowing the Star Bead could strengthen one's physique and enhance one's talent for cultivation.
That showed how precious the Star Bead was.
Now, the empress wanted to give such a priceless thing to Luo Feng for nothing?
Luo Feng had humiliated her before. The empress had spared his life, which was a great blessing. Now, she wanted to help him break through the astral body. What right did he have to do whatever he wanted just because he had superior talent?
Jiang Taiyuan's eyes flashed. "Forgive me, Flame Emperor. Forgive me for saying too much. Star Beads are such a rare thing. If you were to bestow it, you should keep it to reward the meritorious officials. Don't you think it's a little inappropriate to bestow it to Luo Feng just because he's talented in card making?"
That slightly sharp tone caused the air in the hall to suddenly freeze, and it was even to the extent that the atmosphere seemed oppressive, causing others to be unable to breathe.
Seeing the tense situation, Qi Jin smiled and said, "Kang Of Gojoseon, let's talk nicely. Emperor Yan has his reasons for doing this."
"Luo Feng's card making talent is outstanding. If such a person were only a card master, it would be a pity."
Hearing this, the empress's interest waned. Her starry eyes drooped slightly as she casually said, "This empress is happy. Is this reason enough?"
"Since Emperor Yan insists, I have nothing to say." Jiang Taiyuan said no more. He suddenly turned around, flicked his sleeves, and left.
The Empress stared at Jiang Taiyuan's back as he gradually disappeared into the distance. Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous arc. In the depths of her eyes, two golden flames danced.
Luo Feng stealthily raised his head and stole a glance at the empress. After which, he discovered that her eyes contained 30% coldness, 30% anger, 20% worry and 20% helplessness...
It seemed that the Emperor Yan Holy Dynasty wasn't as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
However, what surprised him even more was that the empress was actually willing to give him a treasure like the Star Bead.
"Could it be that the empress has taken a fancy to my talent?"
"No, she could also be lusting after my body."
"She is despicable!"
Qi Jin sighed secretly. He had seen such situations before. The power of the dynasty was complicated. Although the empress was the Emperor Yan, she had only ascended the throne for three years. She didn't have a solid foundation. Therefore, in a sense, her position was not stable yet.
After Jiang Taiyuan left, the empress glanced at the others and said, "You guys can leave too. In addition, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Also, don't let anyone know about Luo Feng's identity."
Everyone nodded and left the main hall.
Therefore, only the empress and Luo Feng were left in the empty main hall.
The empress strode forward with her long slender legs and walked in front of Luo Feng. She stared at his handsome face with great interest.
"What … what does she want to do?" Luo Feng's heart thumped wildly.
"Lie down," the empress said.
Luo Feng's eyes widened. He was in a dilemma. Could it be that the empress had improper thoughts about him?
Well, since she spared his life, he would reluctantly accept it.
Therefore, Luo Feng lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a tone as if he was facing death with equanimity, "I'm lying down. You can do it!"
The empress frowned slightly and waved her hand. The star bead suspended in the air slowly floated above Luo Feng and then entered his body through the top of his head.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng's eyes froze. It was as if an electric current was flowing through his body. After the star bead entered his body, it turned into a strange force that spread throughout his body.
That force seemed to have a corrosive effect. Wherever it went, the flesh and blood in his body would be corroded.
"Ah …"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and stubbornly endured it. He felt as if thousands of ants were biting his heart. It was unbearable.
Layers of dizziness came from his mind, making his spirit tremble. His eyelids opened and closed, and he almost fainted.
"I'm going to … die …"
Luo Feng murmured.
"If you don't want to die, wake up."
The cold voice of the empress was like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded in Luo Feng's mind.
"The spring breeze of reform blows the earth. You must work hard to cross over to another world!"
"I want to become the strongest Star Card Master. I can't die here!"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and stubbornly roared in his heart. In the roar, there was a deep desire and desire to live.
Pain surged like a tide. However, just as death was truly approaching, new flesh and blood veins suddenly sprouted on his corroded body!
His body was reconstructed!
About an hour later, Luo Feng's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. His entire body was drenched, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Sweat dripped down his face and dripped down.
"Huff huff!"
Luo Feng's breathing was heavy. His hands trembled as he stroked his body. His body was filled with vigorous muscles, as if it had been reconstructed. He, who had always been calm, couldn't help but grin foolishly.
"Take a look at your body." The empress said unhurriedly.
"Look, how?" Luo Feng didn't understand. Could it be that he had to cut open his stomach to take a look?
He subconsciously closed his eyes. However, at this moment, he suddenly had a special feeling. The internal organs of his body were all present in his mind.
"That's the heart, that's the liver, and that one looks a little weak … Oh, it's the kidney."
However, in the next moment, a look of disbelief appeared on Luo Feng's face.
Because he was able to clearly sense that there were suddenly nine meridians within his internal organs. They were like hidden dragons that had soared out from the abyss and coiled around his internal organs.
"This is …" He cried out in shock.
"That's the Star Vein. With it, you can feel the star energy that exists between heaven and earth and become a true Star Card Master."
"Do you like it?"
