"Does the Palace Master have a Rainbow God Pearl?"
Even Emperor Beichen couldn't hide his astonishment upon hearing this news. It was widely known that only the Blue family possessed Rainbow God Pearls. Ordinary people wouldn't even have a chance to see one, let alone possess it. The fact that the Palace Master gave such a precious treasure to Hongzhuang was a testament to his favor towards her.
Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "Yes, I was surprised as well."
Her deep and contemplative eyes seemed to hold a clear and penetrating light, as if she could see through people's hearts with just a glance. Emperor Beichen keenly noticed that there were still some things Hongzhuang hadn't told him. However, based on his understanding of her, if she chose not to reveal something, it meant there were reasons she couldn't disclose it. He trusted that if it were possible, Hongzhuang would have shared it with him.
This matter seemed to be the Palace Master's private affair, and he had no intention of prying into it.
"Now that you have fused the Rainbow God Pearl into your Dantian?" Emperor Beichen couldn't help but tighten his grip on Hongzhuang's hand. His flawless face showed deep concern.
Given Hongzhuang's current situation, it was extremely dangerous for her to integrate the Rainbow God Pearl into her body. One small mistake could cost her life. Although he had heard from Xia Zhiqing and others about the dangers Hongzhuang encountered in the small world, he had never heard of such a risky undertaking.
Compared to the fusion of the Rainbow God Pearl, the other risks seemed insignificant.
He had no idea that Hongzhuang had taken such a dangerous action during the assessment competition.
Hongzhuang nodded gently. "Yes, I have already fused it."
"But what if something goes wrong with such a dangerous act?" Emperor Beichen furrowed his brows. Although he didn't fully understand the process, just by listening, he knew how risky it was.
Looking at Emperor Beichen's worried expression, Hongzhuang smiled lightly. "Don't worry, I'm fine now, right in front of you."
Seeing Hongzhuang's adorable and gentle appearance, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but feel helpless. She was his weakness, and he couldn't blame her.
Suddenly, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but think of the inexplicable pain and nervousness he felt in the Celestial Armament Sect. He couldn't help but ask, "My wife, when did you fuse the Rainbow God Pearl?"
"About half a year ago," Hongzhuang pondered for a moment and replied. After she came out of the ruins, the path ahead had been relatively smooth. The inheritance she obtained in the ruins was the biggest gain from the assessment competition.
Hearing her words, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but recall the pain he experienced at that time. He had always been puzzled about why he felt such unbearable pain, and Xia Zhiqing and the others never mentioned anything related to it.
Now, after hearing Hongzhuang's account, he finally understood completely. Just from his own painful experience, he could grasp the extent of Hongzhuang's suffering. He knew Hongzhuang's character well. No matter how great the pain she endured, she would speak about it lightly, as if it didn't bother her at all, never making others worry.
But it was precisely this kind of Hongzhuang that made him feel even more distressed.
Emperor Beichen tightly embraced Hongzhuang, his deep voice hoarse with anxiety. "My wife, please don't do such dangerous things in the future."
Whenever he recalled the painful sensation he experienced back then, he couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear.
