The Real Truth of Cloudcrest's Plan.

"What are you saying?"

Mu Lingxi's words were filled with pure disbelief.

It was as if she was a child being told their favorite fairy tale wasn't true.

Emperor Cloudcrest, unfazed and unempathetic, nodded angelically, as if he were an innocent child answering her aggressive question.

"Yes, Suyin is still alive. You remember the special blood your mother possesses. Given that, you should know she has what it takes to restore my power. While I don't have all of it yet, it's certain that after the journey of the Jade Dragon through a single quadrant of the constellations, I will regain all the power and respect I've lost."

Mu Lingxi's fists clenched tighter and tighter, sweat running down her forehead.

The journey of the Jade Dragon... hmm, isn't that a celestial's way of saying three months? That means... in three months, he'll recover his lost powers? No, it can't be!
