The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Wang Xinyao seized the opportunity and took out an antique wooden box from her bosom.

The moment the box appeared, Scorpio reacted as if he had met his nemesis, his voice changing: "This box... how did it end up in your hands? No... impossible!"

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Wang Xinyao lightly stroked the box with her fingertips, her tone icy: "Haven't you always wanted to know why I understand the power of laws? Now I can tell you, because—'Heavenly Dao' is my master."

"Nonsense! The 'Way of Heaven' has been dead for over a thousand years!"

"I have to 'thank' you for this." Wang Xinyao gave a sarcastic smile.

"Back then, you poisoned your twin brother and threw him into the deep sea. He was swallowed by a whale shark while he was unconscious, but he was lucky enough to survive and a wisp of his consciousness remained in the fish's belly."

As for me, I was knocked into the sea by Zhao Tian during the battle on the South China Sea islands, and I happened to be swallowed by the same whale shark.

By sheer coincidence, I received my master's final teachings inside the belly of a fish. Don't you see, isn't that destiny?

She lifted the box, the lid slightly ajar, emitting a powerful suction force.

"You and Yin Ling'er committed adultery and evil deeds in life; after death, you will stay in this box forever to keep each other company."

"This magical artifact left by my master is specifically designed to subdue evil spirits like you. Once you're inside, you'll never get out."

"Do not--!!!"

Scorpion let out a desperate howl.

Just then, Yin Ling'er's soul floated out of her body and happened to hear Wang Xinyao's last few words.

She screamed in terror, "No! I don't want to be locked up with this disgusting piece of trash! Send me to hell! I want to find my Mei'er and Li'er!"

"I'm disgusted?" 'Scorpio' suddenly turned to her, its ethereal form trembling violently with rage.

"Yin Ling'er, you vile woman! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation! How dare you call me disgusting? I'll kill you!"

"Wang Xinyao, Your Highness, I beg you, please don't lock me up with him! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

Yin Ling'er completely ignored 'Scorpion' and wept in the direction of Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan.

"That's not your choice," Zhao Haoxuan said coldly. "However, considering you once shielded my father from an attack, I'll tell you the truth."

Don't even think about going to the underworld to find Zhao Meier and Zhao Haoli, because your elder sister and younger brother are still alive.

Yin Ling'er's soul trembled, and an astonishing light flashed in her eyes: "Not dead? Crown Prince, are you telling the truth? My children...are they still alive?"

"I survived all thanks to Xin Yao." Zhao Haoxuan's tone was calm, but every word was like a knife.

"Unfortunately, during that great battle on the South China Sea islands, they never asked you a single question. In their hearts, your life or death was no longer important."

"Impossible! I am their mother!" Yin Ling'er retorted shrilly, her soul twisting with agitation.

"Mother? You dare to say that?" Zhao Haoxuan laughed, but there was no warmth in his smile. "I forgot to mention, my elder sister has amnesia. Now, she thinks my mother is her biological mother."

"What?! How could she recognize that vile Yang Wanqing as her mother?!" Yin Ling'er was struck dumb, then asked anxiously, "Where is His Majesty? Didn't His Majesty tell her the truth?"

"My father?" Zhao Haoxuan said casually, "He is now the retired emperor and is traveling the world with my mother and Consort Li."

"And I'm no longer the crown prince; I've passed the throne to Luo Qing. As for your son, Zhao Haoli… he prefers to be a carefree prince and has no interest in the throne."

"The throne should belong to me, Li'er! Why should it be passed on to an outsider! Your Majesty... Your Majesty loves me, he should take me away..." Yin Ling'er was incoherent and completely collapsed.

Scorpio, who was listening nearby, burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Yin Ling'er, did you hear that?"

The man you've been longing for doesn't love you at all! Only I've always been there for you, even now that you're in this terrible state!

"Shut up! You lowly guard, what right do you have to compare yourself to His Majesty!" Yin Ling'er cursed viciously.

Scorpio wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Black and White Impermanence.

“Zhao Yucheng, you were so arrogant, thinking you were something special, but it turns out you have a shady identity!” Hei Bai said.

Wuchang also turned to the side and said, "Hey, I say, Emperor Zhao Shun, he is the bastard child of your concubine and servant. Why didn't you just order his death back then? Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much trouble! This kind of person should not have been allowed to grow up."

"You, you two brats...you deserve to die! You just wait..."

Zhao Haoxuan was so angry that his ethereal body trembled. If he could move, he would have wanted to crush the Black and White Impermanence.

Black and White Impermanence glanced at Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Qingfeng, then immediately hid behind them, tiptoeing: "Just wait, we're not afraid of you!"

"Shut up, all of you." Zhao Shun was annoyed and waved his hand. "Yao'er, Xuan'er, stop now. It's giving me a headache."

"No! I don't want to be with him! Please—" Yin Ling'er's scream came to an abrupt halt.

Without further hesitation, Wang Xinyao's wooden box shone brightly, and the vast power of the laws transformed into an invisible hand, seizing the two frantically struggling souls.

"Collect!" With a clear shout, the phantom of 'Scorpion' and the soul of Yin Ling'er turned into two wisps of black smoke, screaming as they were sucked into the wooden box.

With a soft "click," the box lid closed tightly.

The world suddenly became quiet.

The box lay quietly on the stone table that had been temporarily moved there.

Zhao Haoxuan, Wang Xinyao, Chen Qingfeng, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi gathered around, each occupying a side, and simultaneously placed their palms on the box.

Five colors of divine light—gold, cyan, white, red, and blue—surged from their palms, soaring into the sky and causing the wind and clouds to change color.

The light, like a swimming dragon, intertwined to form intricate sealing patterns, containing the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and was imprinted on the box layer by layer.

After the box faded completely, it looked like an ordinary piece of wood.

Wang Xinyao let out a soft breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to Zhao Shun and Madam Yu, "Grandpa Emperor, Grandma, this is only a temporary seal."

Scorpio remains a potential threat until the true 'Heavenly Dao' master is reincarnated and returns with full power.

We must go to the underworld immediately and permanently imprison this box in the deepest part of hell.

Only by borrowing the power of reincarnation from the underworld and the double protection of the chilling air of the Nine Netherworlds can peace be maintained in the human world for at least five hundred years.

Zhao Shun nodded: "Then you go quickly. Don't worry, leave the safety of Earth to me and Yu Niang."

“Yes, Yao’er, you can go without worry. We will take care of your aunt’s family. After you’ve taken care of things, bring the children back to visit.” Madam Yu nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Emperor and Grandma!" Wang Xinyao nodded, then looked at Xiao Yifeng, who was engrossed in cultivation, and said:

"I'm entrusting my senior brother to you. After he wakes up, please tell him that we're leaving!"
