「Capital of Hua Country. Imperial Palace.」
Di Xuanji removed the luxurious yellow robe from her body, revealing skin as tender as mutton-fat white jade. She stepped forward with bare feet, slowly walking into the steam-filled bath ahead.
"Jiao Jiao, I will lead the charge to Danlong Ancient Mountain tomorrow. In my absence, you will manage the affairs of the palace," she said.
Lu Nianjiao, already soaking in the bath, looked at her with deep concern.
"Big Sister, as the ruler of a nation and someone of your noble birth, you shouldn't have to enter the fray yourself. Why must you confront such a powerful enemy in person? It's not as if Hua Country lacks strong warriors to dispatch," she said.
Di Xuanji smiled softly and replied, "But the ruler I envision is not just a noble figurehead, but a sharp sword at the forefront of the battle!"
"That is why this time, I must lead the expedition myself!"
