The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife Chapter 1818: Lu Xuyang

Chapter 1818: Lu Xuyang

As her clothes dissolved into the air like feathers, the flames on the altar sprang up, soaring as high as a building, almost reaching the clouds.

However, the towering flames soon began to dwindle, the golden-red blaze gradually dimming until it finally extinguished.

The woman in ceremonial robes angrily hurled her staff to the ground, her face pale with rage, her eyes burning with fury and unmistakable fear.

The ceremony at Moon Embracing Palace failed once again.

It was as if the G.o.ds had abandoned them. They were unable to rekindle the sacred flame, communicate with the divine, or draw power from the fire and moonlight.

“Palace Master…” One of the maids cautiously suggested, “Perhaps you should rest for now and try again next month.”

“Get lost!” The woman in gorgeous clothes raised her hand, and all of the maids fell heavily to the ground.

With a flick of her hand, the elegantly dressed woman sent the maid flying in mid-air before she crashed heavily to the ground.

“Palace Master!” Several tall, handsome men stepped forward, eager to help her remove her robe.

However, with a wave of her hand, Jiang Qingya, the Moon Embracing Palace Master slapped them away, sending them sprawling to the ground. The doors to her chamber then slammed shut with a loud bang.

She sat on the bed with a livid face and stared into the distance with thoughts racing in her mind.

The sacred flame of Moon Embracing Palace had failed to ignite for a decade.

Throughout these ten years, everyone in Moon Embracing Palace had shown no sign of improvement in their abilities.

What terrified her even more was that, ever since the saintess they offered thirty years ago lost her purity and fled, the high priest from the G.o.d Domain, more feared than both the Divine Emperor and the demons, had gradually grown to despise her.

Due to this abandonment by the G.o.ds, she could no longer pray to the G.o.ds or draw power from the sacred flames.

Moon Embracing Palace was slowly declining, inching towards its demise. People within the palace had begun to notice. Even some elders were discussing the possibility of deposing her.

Soon, the day came for the Moon Embracing Palace to present candidates for the saintess, but she couldn’t find anyone who matched Anling Yue’s qualities.

If she failed to present a true saintess this time and satisfy the high priest of the G.o.d Domain, her position as the palace leader would certainly be in jeopardy.

Whenever she thought of that man with crimson robes and dark hair, whose beauty surpa.s.sed that of any woman, Jiang Qingya couldn’t help but tremble.

She knew all too well that being completely abandoned by him would result in a fate worse than death.

“Palace Master, why do you look so worried? Is there anything I can do to help?”

Suddenly, a man’s gentle and concerned voice echoed in her ear.

Jiang Qingya was initially annoyed by the interruption, but when she turned and saw who it was, her expression softened. “Didn’t I say I wanted to be alone and not to let anyone in? How did you get in here?”

Standing not far away was a man in a scholar’s robe, appearing to be in his thirties. He exuded a refined and cultured aura, making him instantly seem trustworthy and approachable.

The man sat down beside Jiang Qingya, taking her hand into his, and pressing it to his cheek. With a focused gaze, he said, “When I heard you were upset, Qingya, I couldn’t think of anything else. I was just worried about you.”

“Disobeying your orders was my mistake. Even if you want to kill me or punish me, I, Lu Xuyang, will have no complaints.”
