My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 687 Placing High Hopes

687: Placing High Hopes

687: Placing High Hopes

Thinking back on the scenes from last night, Mu Yuyan was momentarily stunned, her cheeks flushed a deep red.

It took quite some time before she snapped out of it, murmuring to herself.

“Could it really be related to him?”

Her voice was very soft, and her face carried even more of a blush.

Just as the words left her lips, Gu Lan’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the room.

“What’s related to me?”

The unexpected question pulled her straight back into the present.

When she turned, Gu Lan had already entered the room, his face carrying a smile but also some curiosity.

Upon seeing Mu Yuyan’s shy expression, Gu Lan was puzzled.

What could have happened during the day to make her look this way?

“What’s going on?”

He asked with genuine concern.

As the Empress, Mu Yuyan found herself feeling a bit embarrassed.

“I…

I think my strength has increased!”

Upon hearing her words, Gu Lan’s face showed a bit of delight.

“That’s a good thing.

There’s nothing to be shy about.”

At this point, Gu Lan still hadn’t fully realized the cause, but Mu Yuyan, seeing that he didn’t understand, blushed even more and shyly added.

“It’s related to you!”

Gu Lan hesitated for a moment before his eyes widened in surprise.

“Could it be because of…?”

His unfinished sentence hung in the air as Mu Yuyan nodded, making her meaning clear.

Gu Lan was truly astonished.

Last night, he had used a tiny amount of his spiritual energy, but could that actually have helped Mu Yuyan?

After thinking for a moment, his face lit up with realization, and he smiled as he walked up to Mu Yuyan and picked her up in his arms.

“What are you doing?”

Mu Yuyan hadn’t quite recovered from the surprise when he took this action, and for a moment, she was puzzled.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she saw him smiling.

“You’ll know when you try!”

…

Above the Star Realm, although the Ancient God Clan had been defeated, other factions still harbored ambitions, and the conflict between the Ten Thousand Races had not yet ended.

Inside a dimly lit palace, the figures of the people could not be seen clearly, but the atmosphere was thick with the intent to kill.

“This time, the Ancient God Clan helped me a lot.

If we act now, the Lanyan Royal School will have no means of defense!”

The cold voice was accompanied by a terrifying murderous intent.

However, even among these people, there were some who disagreed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Before anyone could respond, one person spoke.

“The disciples of the Lanyan Royal School are on the rise.

It’s not a good time to act now!”

A heated argument broke out, with some advocating for a swift strike while others felt it wasn’t the right moment.

“Silence!”

A furious voice cut through the noise, and everyone froze.

They turned to look towards the entrance of the palace, where a figure dressed in black robes stepped in, and his blood-red eyes sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

“Greetings, Dark Master!”

“You, as my Dark Clan’s elite, are afraid of that small Lower Realm?” The Dark Master’s words were sharp, and his icy gaze made the others uncomfortable.

With these words, the room fell into an awkward silence.

The Dark Master’s cold voice rang out again.

“Whoever dares to undermine our strength with words will not be spared!”

Hours later, the vast palace had returned to a quiet calm.

The Empress, dressed in a simple white gown, lay curled in Gu Lan’s embrace, her face showing a faint smile.

Gu Lan gently stroked her long hair, a soft smile on his face as he spoke.

“I never thought it would really work.

I’ll continue, and one day you will definitely improve!”

His words made Mu Yuyan’s face turn even redder, adding to her bashfulness.

Just then, a voice suddenly called out from outside the palace.

“Empress, the Lin siblings request an audience!”

Once again, there was work to be done in the court, and Mu Yuyan didn’t hesitate.

After straightening her clothes, she was about to speak, but Gu Lan stood up first.

“I’ll go with you.

They’ve worked hard this time, so we should thank them.”

The Lin siblings had indeed done a great deal to help in the recent matters.

Since they were here, Gu Lan felt it was appropriate to acknowledge their efforts.

Walking out of the palace, the Lin siblings showed great respect when they saw the two of them.

“Greetings, Empress!”

“Greetings, Lord!”

“No need for such formality.

You two did a lot during the battle with the Ancient God Clan.

Speak, what do you want?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tan’er and Lin Lu froze, immediately kneeling on the ground.

“We have already received Lord’s favor.

We only contributed a little effort during the last battle.

We dare not ask for anything in return!”

Even though they longed for greater strength, they couldn’t bring themselves to ask.

Nervously, they kept their heads bowed, sweat appearing on their faces.

Seeing them like this, Gu Lan felt a bit distressed and quickly helped them up.

Others did not receive such treatment, and for a moment, the two siblings didn’t know what to do.

Gu Lan then took out two treasures from his Linglong Pagoda.

Two swords.

One gleamed with a brilliant golden light, while the other was surrounded by a blue aura, exuding a powerful force.

Upon seeing the swords, both Lin Tan’er and Lin Lu were stunned, their eyes wide with shock.

Gu Lan handed the golden sword to Lin Lu, and the blue sword to Lin Tan’er.

“These are the Twinborn Swords.

Inside them is the Twinborn Sword Technique.

If you two master them, you can break through your limits.”

The two siblings were deeply grateful.

Although these swords were not divine artifacts, they were still several times more powerful than the weapons they had previously owned.

“Thank you, Lord!”

“No need for formalities.

You two need to improve quickly.

The war between the Ten Thousand Races is not over, and you are the hope of Lanyan Royal School.”

Gu Lan’s words placed a heavy burden on the two of them, and they were taken aback.

Their expressions turned serious, and for a moment, they didn’t know how to respond.

Their strength was still limited.

While Lin Tan’er was highly skilled in formations, she still lagged behind others when it came to direct combat.

She didn’t dare to promise anything lightly.

Gu Lan could see her hesitation and smiled softly.

A beam of golden light entered her mind in an instant.

“Focus on your training.

If you need anything, feel free to ask me anytime!”

With Gu Lan’s affirmation, the siblings’ resolve became much firmer.

“Lord, rest assured.

We won’t let you down!”

After the siblings left, Gu Lan decided to begin his own cultivation.

But just as he was about to take action, he noticed Mu Yuyan staring at him with wide eyes.

“They both received treasures.

What about mine?”

Gu Lan was momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected this question.

After a brief pause, he quickly responded, reaching out to transform Ding True Man’s treasure furnace into his hands.

“This item contains Rule Power.

It can not only attack but also defend!”

Gu Lan had many treasures, and he wasn’t particularly concerned about holding onto one or two.

As long as it could be useful, that was the best outcome.

Of course, these treasures were only for those close to him.

He would never give them away to outsiders.

For the next several days, Gu Lan spent his days in the study, enhancing his own strength.

At night, he assisted the Empress with her cultivation.

Meanwhile, Ding True Man had a hard time.

He realized that Gu Simu seemed tireless, growing stronger with each battle.

Over the past few days, Ding True Man hadn’t dared to slack off for even a moment.

He could not afford to hurt Gu Simu.

After several days of improvement, Gu Simu’s strength had increased significantly.

Now, she was not only able to use the power more easily, but she could also channel a bit of Rule Power.

Though it seemed like a small amount, for her, it was more than enough.
