The Heavenly Emperor looked at Ming Li with a grave expression. "What do you mean by that? If the Son of Destiny was swapped, Heaven's Will would surely know!"
"Oh," Ming Li's gaze drifted indifferently towards a spot in the sky. "Your Heaven's Will isn't very bright, so someone exploited a loophole."
"..."
Are you sure you won't be targeted by Heaven's Will saying that...
Heaven's Will, which had been glanced at by Ming Li, "...". Calm down! Calm down! Can't win! Absolutely cannot get angry!
Just as the Heavenly Emperor thought Ming Li was about to be struck by lightning, he saw no movement in the sky.
"Huh? What's going on? Why isn't Heaven's Will striking you? Is it not here?"
Thinking this, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes darted around, and he tentatively spoke, "Heaven's Will isn't very bright?"
"Boom—"
The Heavenly Emperor, who was scorched black and tender by the heavenly lightning, "...".
(￣_￣|||)
Ming Li's lips twitched slightly, and she looked at the self-sabotaging Heavenly Emperor with a blank expression.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor slightly parted his lips, and a puff of green smoke emerged from the corner of his mouth.
With a "bang," the Heavenly Emperor fell straight to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted...
Ming Li, "..." This...
Ming Li kicked the Heavenly Emperor on the ground. Seeing that he had truly fainted, Ming Li frowned, disdainfully picked him up, walked to the Heavenly Pool outside the hall, and then... threw the Heavenly Emperor in?!
"Cough, cough, cough!" The Heavenly Emperor, thrown into the Heavenly Pool, suddenly coughed and successfully regained consciousness, flailing in the Heavenly Pool. "I... cough, cough, cough! Where am I... cough, cough, cough?!"
Ming Li looked at the Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Pool with disgust. "How much longer are you going to stay in there?"
Hearing Ming Li's voice, the Heavenly Emperor was stunned. He stopped flailing and looked up confusedly at Ming Li standing by the Heavenly Pool. He was stunned, and after a long while, he reacted. His gaze swept over his surroundings. The Heavenly Emperor was slightly embarrassed and quickly flew out of the Heavenly Pool, tidied his lightning-scorched hair, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you."
Ming Li, "No need."
"Speak, what business do you have with me?" the Heavenly Emperor asked, lifting his chin to hide his embarrassment.
Ming Li, "I need you to help me find someone."
"You mean... that swapped Son of Destiny?"
Ming Li nodded. "Yes, tell me when you find her."
As she finished speaking, Ming Li's figure vanished from her spot.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the place where Ming Li had disappeared and frowned in confusion, murmuring to himself, "Strange, why wasn't she struck?"
After Ming Li left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, she saw a large crowd of people gathered outside, some of whom looked familiar.
Ming Li spoke softly, "Do you... need something?"
Hearing Ming Li's voice, the crowd instinctively took two steps back and swallowed in unison.
At this moment, an old man in white robes, white hair, and a white beard stepped forward under Ming Li's oppressive aura and asked, "What... did you do to our Heavenly Emperor?"
Ming Li asked the system in her mind, "Who is this?"
System, "It seems to be Lao Jun."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "I didn't do anything to him, but he's still alive."
What did she mean by that?
As if sensing what everyone was thinking, Ming Li's lips curved into a smile, and she said, "He offended Heaven's Will just now and was struck by lightning."
All the gods, "..." Is His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor still alive?!
