"Does this mean, the Dark Queen was just joking with the younger generation earlier?"
Ji Taimei excitedly took over the conversation, with an expression of lingering fear, "Oh dear, you really scared the younger generation."
"No, no, no."
Xiao Qingmiao said with a half-smile, "The pure and sacred power from the Ethereal Cloud Palace, beneath the Ice Lake, others might not feel it, but don't forget."
"For thousands of years, it has been me fighting Mu Xinlan and stopping her plot to destroy the Eastern Continent, so—"
"No one understands Mu Xinlan better than I do."
Upon hearing this, a flash of despair crossed Ji Taimei's eyes, and then she clenched her teeth and harshly said:
"Alright then!"
"Since you put it this way! I, Ji Taimei, will lay my cards on the table!"
"I have a little... collaboration with Mu Saint!"
"However, I made this decision as a way to save the country!"
