Chapter 1597: Chapter 1227: Time to Deal with You!

Borjigin Nian, hearing the words of Borjigin Lvchi, felt a flash of panic mixed with anger!

"Haha..."

Just as Borjigin Nian was worried about how to speak up and plead leniency for the reckless Borjigin Lvchi, laughter from Gu Changsheng, full of anger and mirth, sounded from behind her...

That laughter carried with it complete contempt and disdain, as well as an immense pressure from on high!

Borjigin Nian, upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s laughter, returned to her senses in a rush, her deep foreign features filled with a pleading look!

This time, however, Gu Changsheng did not look at her!

Not only did she not look at her, but Gu Changsheng’s anger had disappeared, and she relaxed completely, leaning casually against the back of her seat...

Borjigin Nian, seeing Gu Changsheng’s lazy movement and expression, felt her heart tighten.

Having spent considerable time with Gu Changsheng, Borjigin Nian believed she had some understanding of her. Generally, this woman either got angry, or endured, or erupted after suppressing it all!

This is definitely the calm before the storm!

What’s to follow is surely Gu Changsheng’s forceful retaliation!

"Gu Changsheng..." If Gu Changsheng were angry, Borjigin Nian felt she might have some chance to persuade her, but the calmer she appeared, the less room there was to maneuver...

Borjigin Nian’s gentle call went ignored by Gu Changsheng.

In a red formal dress, its hem trailing the ground, with gold and silver thread outlining the patterns of dragons and phoenixes shimmering, Gu Changsheng lay lazily against the seat back, resting her chin on one hand, corner of her mouth slightly lifted, her phoenix eyes raising slightly, watching Borjigin Lvchi with a faint smile as she slowly spoke, "Borjigin Lvchi, are you so sure that with Borjigin Nian as your shield, you can rest easy with your life assured?"

Borjigin Lvchi, observing Gu Changsheng in this state, felt a moment of confusion flash across his rugged face and large eyes...

Gu Changsheng’s beauty was undoubtedly a fatal temptation!

When exerting pressure, she evoked a certain reverential awe, but when she shed that intensity and adopted her usual lazy posture, it was as if she transformed into a Mandara flower blooming by the banks of the Yellow Springs — bright and enchanting, hard to look away from...

Borjigin Lvchi, being a normal man, found his heart swaying unavoidably upon seeing such a lovely Gu Changsheng!

This kind of woman was indeed the peerless beauty of every man’s dreams!

As long as he could become the king of Northern Mongolia, a powerful ruler, with his own bravery and the support of those behind him, there might be a real chance to win her favor!

However, such thoughts only flickered instantaneously in Borjigin Lvchi’s mind; he soon snapped back to reality, his rugged face filled with provocation as he spoke, "Indeed! With my sister protecting me, how could Lvchi not be safe? Not to mention that even in wartime between nations, emissaries are not slain. Let us talk instead of how the Southern Emperor, known for loyalty and righteousness to all, would ignore a friend over a past grievance?"

At this, Borjigin Lvchi smiled a complacent smile, "Heh, in that case, wouldn’t the Southern Emperor Changsheng be just a fame-seeking opportunist? People would surely be disappointed if word got out!"

Borjigin Nian, hearing this, almost jumped in frustration, anxiously looking at Gu Changsheng, at a loss for words!

In contrast, Gu Changsheng’s bright face bore an entirely nonchalant demeanor. Upon hearing Borjigin Lvchi’s words, she lightly smiled and shook her head, blowing on her neatly trimmed nails as she slowly replied, "What does it matter if people are disappointed or not? What does it have to do with me, Gu Changsheng? If I truly cared about public opinion, would I, a woman, be ruling as the Southern Emperor?"

With that, the smile on Gu Changsheng’s face grew even brighter, casting an alluring smile at Borjigin Lvchi as she shook her head and continued, "So, Borjigin Lvchi, you’re overthinking it!"

At this point, a touch of coldness flashed through Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes as she hooked her lips and continued slowly, "So, Borjigin Lvchi, whether you’re here as an emissary from the Northern passage or even if sent by the Heavenly Emperor’s Father himself, if I, Gu Changsheng, choose to deal with you, Borjigin Nian won’t be able to stop me, nor will the public’s opinion!"

As these words fell, Borjigin Lvchi’s rugged face changed dramatically.

"Changsheng!"

"Gu Changsheng!"

Zhou Mu’s helpless call and Borjigin Nian’s anxious cry followed closely.

However, no matter how quickly they spoke, Gu Changsheng moved even faster!

Everything happened in a flash, like a spark of light flitting across a stone, as Gu Changsheng’s fingertips trembled slightly near her lips...

In an instant, the lavishly decorated Flower Hall was engulfed in a murderous aura...

Two blood-colored dragons and phoenixes spiraled out from Gu Changsheng’s fingertips, like demons from the Nine Nether. With their illusory divine bodies, they soared and rolled, swooping toward the people standing behind Borjigin Nian...

"No!"

Borjigin Lvchi had never seen such a scene before, the oncoming blood-red dragon and phoenix carrying an aura of blood and death. Borjigin Lvchi stumbled backward, crashing to the ground with a bang, and frantically crawled away...

The envoys who entered alongside Borjigin Lvchi also turned pale and immediately scattered, fleeing the Flower Hall...

The fear of death struck the hearts of everyone the moment the blood-red dragon and phoenix soared from Gu Changsheng.

Especially Borjigin Lvchi, who bore the brunt!

His pupils constricted, turning into boundless terror as the blood-red dragon and phoenix drew near!

"No, no, no! Stay away! Monster! Monster!"

Borjigin Lvchi’s retreating steps couldn’t match the fierce momentum of the approaching blood-red dragon and phoenix.

In the blink of an eye, Borjigin Lvchi was entangled by the blood-colored dragon and phoenix, his body lifting off the ground, suspended in the air...

Intertwining of dragon and phoenix was meant to be an auspicious sign.

However, if you were Borjigin Lvchi right now, you would surely feel the fear beneath this entwining of dragon and phoenix!

The tightening phantasmal forms of the dragon and phoenix seemed as though they would crush every bone in Borjigin Lvchi’s body, gradually drawing the breath from his chest...

Breathing heavily, Borjigin Lvchi, whose rough face gradually lost its color, had his lips slowly turn purplish under the pressure-induced pain...

"Gu Changsheng, Gu Changsheng you..." Borjigin Nian anxiously looked at Borjigin Lvchi being swept up by the dragon and phoenix, and turned to Gu Changsheng in worry.

At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Gu Changsheng slowly stood up, her red dress trailing on the ground, gold and silver threaded patterns blossoming behind her enchantingly. Step by step, she walked slowly toward the air-suspended Borjigin Lvchi entangled by the blood-colored dragon and phoenix...

Trapped in a dire situation, Borjigin Lvchi, watching Gu Changsheng approach, felt even more fear in his pupils, his whole body trembling...

He finally understood the consequences of provoking Gu Changsheng!

This woman was a terrifying existence to the extreme. Even now, Borjigin Lvchi couldn’t understand what the blood-colored dragon and phoenix truly were. Its mere appearance made him tremble from the depths of his soul, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance!

"Borjigin Lvchi, do you understand now? In my eyes, you’re not even worth an ant. I’m sparing your life for now because the time hasn’t come. I was willing to let you linger a bit longer for Borjigin Nian’s sake, but you’re insistent on provoking and courting death. You’re really putting me in a tough spot!" Raising her head slightly, gazing at the suspended Borjigin Lvchi, Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows, her radiant face full of difficulty as she spoke. She then raised her delicate jade hand, extending two fingers toward Borjigin Lvchi, making a crushing motion. Gu Changsheng’s face bore a smile as bright as summer flowers, "Those who make things difficult for me usually won’t even have a chance to cause trouble anymore. Borjigin Lvchi, tell me, if I were to crush my fingers now, wouldn’t you, the envoy from Northern Mongolia, die right at my fingertips? What should I do then?"

"You... I..." Borjigin Lvchi’s face turned pale upon hearing her words, his whole body starting to shiver.

"Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, please don’t! I beg you! Count it as me, Borjigin Nian, owing you!" At that moment, Borjigin Nian couldn’t care about anything else and rushed forward, grabbing Gu Changsheng’s raised hand tightly, holding her clenched fingers.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Gu Changsheng flicked her sleeve, withdrawing her hand from Borjigin Nian’s grasp, waving her long sleeve to drape it behind her, and spoke in a dark tone while looking at Borjigin Lvchi, "On Borjigin Nian’s account, I’ll spare you from death this time! Borjigin Lvchi, don’t push me! If you push me, I might really trample over Northern Mongolia, pocketing your vast grasslands! Do you think I, Gu Changsheng, really care about being branded as heartless and unjust? If not for the burden of the world on me, and if not for my deep friendship with Borjigin Nian, I would have already annexed Northern Mongolia, wouldn’t leave room for you clowns to perform!"

At this point, Gu Changsheng waved her sleeve dramatically, turning away with a sharp shout, "Dragon and phoenix, return, don’t sully yourselves!"

"Whoosh!"

The moment Gu Changsheng finished speaking, the blood-colored dragon and phoenix entwining Borjigin Lvchi suddenly relaxed, and in the blink of an eye, the two blood-colored phantoms disappeared into Gu Changsheng’s red robe...

"Boom!"

Following that, Borjigin Lvchi’s suspended body, like a kite with a broken string, slammed to the ground, causing the jade stone floor in the Flower Hall to tremble slightly...

Yet Gu Changsheng didn’t even look back, walking directly toward her seat, speaking coldly...
