Chapter 2245: The Past Life 170  

The Ninth Emperor turned to Nan Changfeng blankly. She had a feeling that, after they returned, Nan Changfeng seemed to be different in some ways.

She could not quite put the finger on what exactly.

“Oh. .”

The Ninth Emperor responded lazily. “But they will become my people later. I have to go to see them anyway. Let’s go.”

She stretched her back and walked ahead.

Nan Changfeng smiled faintly, slowly following the Ninth Emperor.

He did not go to see those people, but... He asked Qing Zhu to follow them.

Qing Zhu had rejected anyone who looked even remotely pretty.

With their looks, he was afraid his master would lose all the Ninth Emperor’s attention.

Qing Zhu came out of Nan Changfeng’s sleeves.

Thinking about what it had done for Nan Changfeng recently, it was a bit stifled and aggrieved.

Its master forced it to cook for those women and sent it to scare his love rival.

Usually, it was women who would be worried about other beautiful girls attracting their men. But to its master, all the beautiful girls in the world were his love rivals.

However, Qing Zhu did not dare to expose its master.

Nan Changfeng smiled and turned to the girl in front of him...

***

The Ninth Emperor always wore her mask when appearing before the crowd.

The mask on her face reflected the light, revealing her beautiful eyes. She looked so stunning that no one could ignore her.

Everyone turned to her, somewhat stunned by her beauty.

Even Dongfang Yu and the other girls could not move their gaze away from the Ninth Emperor...

“Ninth Emperor...”

Her voice was respectful. “These are the last candidates left. As for whether they can stay, that still needs your approval.”

“Hmm.” The Ninth Emperor responded indifferently, scanning those people.

She did not know why she felt like the girls this year looked a bit ordinary.

The girls stared at the Ninth Emperor with admiration in their eyes.

‘It’s the Ninth Emperor!’

‘The person who inspires many people in this mainland! Many people try with all their might to meet the Ninth Emperor!’

Now they finally had the opportunity to stand in front of her.

Even if they did not get to enter Cloud Mountain in the end, it was still worth it.

“Are they the candidates for this year?” The Ninth Emperor turned to Dongfang Yu and asked curiously.

Dongfang Yu nodded. “There were still some, but I don’t know why they had somehow disappeared. Maybe they didn’t want to enter Cloud Mountain and left?”

Cloud Mountain was extremely difficult to enter but to leave was very easy. So it was normal for them to go away.

However, what made Dongfang Yu angry was that since these people wanted to leave, they should not have come in the first place. Even if they left, they should have, at least, told her. They simply did not take this matter seriously!

“Well...” The Ninth Emperor smiled faintly. “If you do not want to stay, no need to force yourself. I will leave it to you to decide. I only came to observe today.”

Dongfang Yu was dumbfounded. In the past, the Ninth Emperor had never been so cold in the selection. But why did she seem to not care this time?
