Chapter 36 This thing is terrifying!

Under Sui Sui's caresses, the Qilin seemed to feel very comfortable, its eyes narrowed, looking quite content.

Only Sarina saw that when Sui Sui stroked the Qilin, Sui Sui's little hands were glowing with golden light.

The Qilin seemed quite comfortable, enveloped in the golden light.

Here, the Qilin lowered its head and even lowered its entire body, calling out to Sui Sui, which puzzled everyone.

Sui Sui blinked, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Do you want Sui Sui to ride on your back?

The Qilin understood and nodded.

"Okay~"

So, at the Qilin's request, Sui Sui grabbed its scales and huffed and puffed as she climbed up.

Soon, it climbed onto the back of the Qilin.

The next second, to everyone's shock...

The Qilin took to the sky.

Carrying the tassels on its back, it flew out of the Taiji Hall.

Emperor Xuanhe: !!!

"My little imperial aunt!"

Emperor Xuanhe hurriedly ran out, and the others followed.

Emperor Xuanhe was very anxious and also afraid that the Qilin would take the little princess to heaven.

After all, Daqing still needs the Little Princess.

Upon exiting the Taiji Hall, everyone saw that the Qilin was carrying Princess Fuqing, flying in circles in the sky.

It looked as if they were carrying Princess Fuqing and playing with her; they could even hear Princess Fuqing's happy laughter.

This scene amazed everyone!
Indeed, in their entire lives, they had seen people riding horses, but never anyone riding a qilin.

Of course, Princess Fuqing was even more impressive; she was the one who rode the Qilin.

Sarina gazed at the golden figure sitting atop the Qilin, her eyes burning with fervor.

The Qilin carried Sui Sui in circles in the sky for several minutes before finally releasing her, its eyes filled with reluctance.

"We'll play again later~" Sui Sui patted its head.

The Qilin raised its head and cried out, as if in response to Sui Sui.

The next second, it took off, just as it had come, and left, finally disappearing into the horizon.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

But in fact, everyone knows exactly what just happened.

Not only those inside the palace, but also countless ordinary people outside the palace witnessed the arrival of the auspicious Qilin.

And the place the Qilin went was the imperial palace. Doesn't this prove that Heaven still protects Daqing?
Bayar was speechless, stunned by what he saw.

He was still thinking that his saintess was already very impressive to be able to summon so many birds.

Unexpectedly, Princess Fuqing, a mere three-year-old child, summoned the sacred beast Qilin of their Great Golden Grassland.

They can also interact closely with the Qilin, sit on its back, and fly into the sky.

How can this not be discouraging?

As it turned out, Emperor Xuanhe felt that these two blows were far from enough to deal with someone as arrogant as Bayar.

He was just about to take out the matchlock gun and gunpowder.

"Your Majesty, my dear nephew, Sui Sui is sleepy and wants to take a nap," Sui Sui whispered to her nephew, rubbing her eyes.

Emperor Xuanhe inquired about the time, and it was indeed the time when the young princess usually went to bed. Moreover, children are always prone to sleepiness.

"Then, little princess, you should go back to bed first." Emperor Xuanhe looked at his little princess with eyes full of tenderness and gratitude. Little princess, you've worked hard tonight.

"Mmm. Nephew, you should go to sleep early too." Sui Sui only replied with this one sentence. She was too sleepy and fell asleep on Fu Rong's shoulder while being held by Fu Rong. Soon, Fu Rong and the others took Princess Fu Qing and left Taiji Palace first.

After Princess Fuqing left, Emperor Xuanhe took out the matchlock gun and gunpowder.

He briefly explained how to use the matchlock gun to Bayar and the others.

Bayar and Abul, who had never seen firearms before, were stunned when they saw the long, tubular object called a matchlock gun, which could burn and pierce through things from such a distance.

If they came on horseback, wouldn't they be able to kill them from a distance, before they even got close?

Then Emperor Xuanhe took out a small black ball.

Both Bayar and his courtiers were very puzzled.

But in the next second, they saw that the palm-sized black sphere blasted open a rockery in the Imperial Garden.

The artificial hill was reduced to rubble; it was not only leveled but also left with a large pit in the ground.

Everyone gasped.

This thing is terrifying beyond belief.

This is only used on artificial hills. If this were used on the battlefield, wouldn't a few small black balls be thrown out and directly harvest a lot of enemies?
Bayar's face turned pale, and even his hands were trembling.

Is this the strength of the Celestial Empire?
Is this why Her Highness the Holy Maiden didn't allow them to confront Daqing?
Princess Fuqing, the matchlock gun, and the gunpowder all instilled a deep fear in Bayar's heart, serving as a warning to them never to confront Daqing.

At this point, Bayar had completely lost his initial arrogance.

The court officials of Daqing were also shocked: when did Daqing become so powerful? They thought Daqing was very weak.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty produced two terrifying items.

and so……

They still don't know enough about His Majesty.

Their emperor is quite adept at hiding his true intentions.

Emperor Xuanhe: No, I didn't. I was also shocked by the power of gunpowder, but I won't say!
After the palace banquet, the envoy from the Great Jin Grassland, who had arrived arrogantly, ended up dejected and fled in a sorry state.

This palace banquet became a topic of much discussion among those present.

Saintess Sarina, however, made a request before leaving.
I hope to meet Princess Fuqing tomorrow.

"I need to ask the young princess about this matter."

"If the young princess agrees, I will not object."

Meanwhile, in her sleep, Sui Sui heard the system's voice in her mind.

[Ding! Absolutely astonishing! The host has successfully won the heart of Sarina, the Holy Maiden of the Great Golden Grassland, and bravely faced the challenge of the grassland warriors, displaying exceptional skills and achieving victory. Mission complete, reward issued.]

Sui Sui rolled over and mumbled, "Tong Tong, don't make a sound, Sui Sui wants to sleep."

Sui Sui slept soundly until the next day when she discovered that there were extra things in her little purse.

So, after drinking milk for breakfast, she went to the palace where the emperor's eldest nephew was.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanhe, who had returned from court, looked somewhat worried.

Iron was needed to make matchlock guns.

However, iron ore is now scarce in Daqing.

If there isn’t enough iron, then matchlock guns cannot be made.

No matter how powerful something is, it cannot be used on the battlefield if there are not enough of it.

If the people of the Great Golden Grassland knew that there was only one such powerful matchlock gun, they would have no reason to be afraid.
