Chapter 4: Wu Zetian Treads on Snow

  Remember in one second

  "Heh heh," Flying Lightning coldly smiled, "I have a name, I'm called Flying Lightning."

  When they heard this, the ministers immediately whispered to each other, seemingly all wondering why the Holy Maiden would be called such a strange name.

  Rui Wang smiled warmly and said, "I see, so Little Wang has retreated."

  He left without looking back after finishing speaking.

  Fei Yan furrowed his brow, watching Rui Wang's back as he left, and suddenly felt a surge of anger. To treat the noble him in such a way was simply too rude.

  "So..." At this time, a minister sitting below Yin Zhengyuan spoke up, interrupting the discussion of the other ministers. They all looked at him, unsure what he was about to say suddenly.

  This minister is a representative figure of the Yin Jizhong party, holding the important position of Fu Jun Da Jiangjun, and his words also carry great weight.

  Yin Sheng held his head with one hand and a grape in the other, nodding to the general to continue.

  "Are you not a saint?" The Grand General Lingling spoke up and said so.

  。

  "I just said it wasn't."

  "So..." The Grand General suddenly stood up and bowed to Yin Chen, saying, "Your Majesty, this man has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, please grant him death."

  Yin Sheng's action of eating grapes paused, and he turned to ask Feng Lingxue, "Feng Qiang, does he count as deceiving the king?"

  Feng Ling furrowed his brow, this general should know that the person is not Yin Zhen's subordinate, and yet he suspects his identity, so he wants to borrow Your Majesty's hand to kill him. However, the more they do this, the less likely it is that this person can be killed, and it will also allow Yin Zhen to divert attention, making it convenient for Your Majesty's own actions. He raised his head and exchanged a glance with Yin Zhen, seeing that Yin Zhen's dark eyes still didn't show much fluctuation, he thought that Your Majesty should know about these things, but he can't say them out loud.

  The general saw Yin Chen didn't say anything, and Feng Lingyue also didn't speak out in opposition. He then gave a signal to the two guards behind him.

  The two guards had already arrived at Fei Dian's side, reaching out to pull him up. Fei Dian slightly shifted his body, "Get lost, you vile and inferior human!"

  Perhaps it was the look of disgust on his face, as white as snow, with eyebrows and eyes like a painting, that deeply pained the hearts of the two guards, who actually stopped moving, looking at each other in dismay, and then looked at the general together.

  Yin Sheng's eyes drooped down, covering his own sneering eyes, and he lightly pinched a grape into his mouth.

  "Are grapes more important than me in your eyes?" Fei Dian said coldly to the little emperor, who had never looked them straight in the eye.

  Yin Sheng looked up with a hint of grievance and said innocently, "What business is it of yours? It's not like I'm going to kill you."

  He said that the great general on the other side also understood, Yin Chen did not want to be in charge of this matter, and also severed his relationship with this mysterious man. Who is right or wrong, who has the final say.

  "Never mind about the grapes for now. So, you lowly mortal in front of me, why do you suddenly want to kill me?" Fei Yan questioned.

  "Because you are not a saint," the general explained, "you have committed the crime of deceiving the king."

  "What is called deceiving the ruler? Isn't it just deceiving your emperor?"

  The general did not respond, but rather the eunuch who had led Fei Dian over earlier raised his finger and said, "How dare you..."

  "How dare you, a fake saint, speak to the general in such a tone!"

  "What tone are you using to speak to me?" Fei Yan retorted, "So, Your Majesty, what can the Saintess do that you need? I can do it too. As long as I can produce the same value as the Saintess, does it matter whether or not I am a Saintess?"

  "Divine power is boundless," Yin Sheng said with a smile, "can you do it too? Then find the Snowy Black Steed that I lost three days ago, and General Zheng will spare your life, won't he, General?"

  The Grand General Zhang was about to say that it wasn't like this, but Feng Lingxue cut in and said, "Your Majesty's words are indeed correct. A capable person doesn't care about their background. As long as this young master has ability, what does it matter if he isn't the Holy Maiden?"

  Feng Lingxiao and Yin Chen sang in harmony, the general had no choice but to shut his mouth... However, searching for a cat in this vast imperial palace shouldn't be that easy, right? This person is still going to die!

  Treading snow... Wu Hei had learned about this creature in the high school of the Fox tribe, simply put it was just a black cat with four white paws. If this little emperor made him do other things that consumed his magical powers he might not be able to do them, but finding cats...

  Fei Dian maintained his noble expression, looking at Yin Chen with a mixture of disdain and flirtation, then stood up and whistled towards the pool behind him. After the sudden loud sound, nothing special happened, and Yin Chen's Treading Snow Black Horse did not appear either.

  The ministers started whispering to each other, saying "This is indeed not a saintly girl, she must have fallen from the sky by accident, everyone must have been mistaken!"

  In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the almost motionless trees in the imperial garden suddenly rustled loudly, followed by the chirping of birds. Tens of thousands of birds of all colors flew towards the Bamboo Wind Pavilion together.

  "Oh no! I'm scared to death!" The eunuch beside Yin Chen immediately stepped forward, shielding him, "Quickly, come and protect the Emperor!"

  Yin Sheng looked at the dense flock of birds in the sky, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, as if... this person was somewhat interesting.

  "Really giving face, ah, birds of the human world," Flying Electric said to that group of birds, "No need to come out so many, one or two would be enough."

  Fei Yan stretched out his hand, and a yellow long-tailed bird landed on his index finger. "Go help me find a cat with an all-black body and only four white paws, bring it to me here, thank you."

  。”

  After Fei Dian finished speaking, the bird in his hand flew away, and the other birds dispersed collectively. It was just a gust of clear wind that passed by, and the sun afterwards was still scorching hot. The trees in the Yu Hua Garden were as quiet as an ink painting, as if nothing had happened.

  Yin Sheng had been watching Fei Dian since just now, and he found that although this person looked like a high-end existence with an air of superiority as if all humans were lowly creatures, but when it came to birds, he seemed to be on equal terms with them. Could it be that he was some kind of animal spirit who had not transformed properly?

  Yin Sheng Zheng was thinking, when he suddenly saw the yellow bird from earlier flying over this way, sometimes high and sometimes low, enticing a black cat behind it to chase after it.

  "Little Yellow Chicken..." Yin Sheng saw the cat, his lazy expression immediately disappeared, and he stood up excitedly. The cat also stopped chasing birds when it saw Yin Sheng, and with a leap, it jumped into Yin Sheng's arms.

  "Little Yellow Chicken, where have you been these past few days? I've been worried sick about you!"

  The cat called Little Yellow Chicken licked its paws with some helplessness and meowed twice.

  "It says that this beautiful and charming cat with a unique identity was called 'little yellow chicken' by you, which made it the laughing stock of other cats in the circle, so it got angry and ignored you."

  "Did you really understand what it said?" Yin Sheng hugged Xiao Huang Ji and leaned a bit towards Fei Dian's direction.

  Fei Yan surprisingly discovered that this little emperor was actually a bit taller than him.

  No... Fei immediately negated this idea, partly because of the Xiao Huangdi's hair bun, which made him look a bit taller than himself. Besides, it wasn't anything important anyway!

  "It's obvious I can understand," Fei Dian said.

  Yin Sheng continued to move closer in the direction of Fei Dian, as if he wanted to walk right up to him and make close contact.

  "Your Majesty..." Some ministers attempted to remind Yin Chen that after all, this fake Holy Maiden didn't know what kind of identity she had; if she were to harm him, how would they handle it?

  Yin Sheng ignored the minister and excitedly asked Fei Dian, "You're so amazing! Teach me!"

  Fei Yan's eyes flashed with a cold smile. A simple-minded and ignorant little emperor who loves to eat grapes - this was his first impression of Yin Chen.
