Chapter 514 Tenderness, Mine!

Closing the doors of her room firmly after instructing her guards to not let anyone enter her chambers until morning, Jue Fan Lei1, the Empress of Shanjiang2 continent, dismissed her maid. She was in hurry and the usually very perceptive her failed to notice the knowing glances and smiles of the maid. There was, after all, only one person that their usually cold empress would be willing to be so anxious to meet.

After making sure no one was there, Jue Fan Lei blew out the candles, tightly clasping a dark maroon velvet cape around her. In the quietness of her huge chamber, her footsteps echoed off the white marble flooring. Standing in front of her study, she bit her lip in apprehension. Pushing the doors aside, she quickly entered the room; putting a matrix spell quickly and efficiently on the door, a powerful matrix spell that no one in the entire continent of Shanjiang would be able to break.

Books lined two of the walls, and the room smelled like jasmine incense. It must have been Ting Shan3. Jue Fan Lei thought to herself as she smiled at the thought of her younger brother. He would often enter her study to help her with accounts and matters regarding new laws and implementations, in this matrilineal bloodline where the males would often try to overthrow the females—her brother was one of a kind.

Walking to the bookshelf, she pushed it inwards, with her level of cultivation it was easy to move the entire thing which was filled with thousands of books. The bookshelf moved, revealing the bottom of the carpet and Jue Fan Lei quickly used her air element to lift it away. Inside there was a matrix so complex that even she wouldn't dare trifle with it or try to imitate it.

Taking her dagger on her side to cut her thumb, she let the few drops of blood fall in the centre of the huge matrix which encompassed the entire room. A huge vortex opened and again she put the carpet over the floor.
