Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 986 - 138: Letter from Penglai

The Emperor of Great Zhou is not easy to be. With Ye Beiming around back then, Empress Dowager Wenren and the little emperor were quite at ease.

Now that the Regent King is away, although Yun Sheng excels in other areas, when it comes to imperial affairs, it’s still far from enough.

Empress Dowager Wenren discussed with Yun Sheng to preside over the court meetings together, and they alternately handle the imperial documents.

"Regarding the imperial documents, the Empress Dowager need not worry. I will handle them for you. In these days, just rest," Yun Sheng said casually.

"Regent King, haven’t you always disliked reviewing documents?" Empress Dowager Wenren knew Yun Sheng was trying to relieve her worries, but she remembered the first time seeing Yun Sheng reviewing documents in the Imperial Study Room, and a slight smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Yun Sheng chuckled awkwardly twice.

"I’ve recently found a quick and effective method to review documents, so rest assured, Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Wenren looked puzzled, but as Yun Sheng was unwilling to elaborate, she didn’t ask further.

Empress Dowager Wenren then trusted Yun Sheng with the documents and went off to rest.

"Let’s go, the documents are waiting for us," Yun Sheng patted Gold Coin’s head, and person and beast walked towards the Imperial Study Room. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Indeed, Yun Sheng’s so-called quick method of reviewing documents was "Gold Coin."

A magical beast that could read documents and accurately assist in making judgments would surely shock many if known.

However, "Gold Coin" was that magical.

This was why, despite being annoyed numerous times by Gold Coin’s bed-climbing habit, Yun Sheng was still reluctant to drive it away.

This matter is somewhat embarrassing to talk about.

As a distinguished graduate from a modern Medical University, unafraid of magic or medical skills, or summoning, Yun Sheng was only afraid of the little document books.

In the initial years after the little emperor was sent away by Yun Sheng, the documents were reviewed and decided upon by Yun Sheng and Empress Dowager Wenren alternately.

Yun Sheng was overwhelmed by the layers of documents during the first time in the Imperial Study Room.

Though proficient in everything, Yun Sheng’s biggest flaw was having decision paralysis.

Moreover, the choices she had to make were of national importance regarding the people, soldiers, and political affairs of Great Zhou.

In the early days, Yun Sheng was almost losing sleep from the stress of dealing with the documents.

Then, on a night when she was burning the midnight oil, she dozed off while reviewing them.

Waking up at midnight, Yun Sheng found Gold Coin flipping through the documents seriously.

As it turned out, unable to find Yun Sheng at night, Gold Coin had simply come to the Imperial Study Room.

Afraid that Gold Coin’s claws would tear the documents, Yun Sheng went up intending to make a pact with Gold Coin again, only to discover that a pile of documents beside Gold Coin already bore the Regent King’s seal.

They were all documents on which she couldn’t make a decision earlier.

Those agreed upon were sealed; those not agreed upon were thrown aside.

After trying several times, Yun Sheng found that every document approved by Gold Coin yielded excellent results, so in the end, every time Yun Sheng reviewed documents, she brought Gold Coin along.

Gold Coin also understood Yun Sheng’s intent and initially was haughty and unwilling.

Eventually, unable to resist Yun Sheng’s soft-spoken entreaties and gentle caresses, it took on the task of reviewing the documents.

Gold Coin’s one day of review could match Yun Sheng’s month.

Eventually, Yun Sheng reading medical books and Gold Coin reviewing documents in the Imperial Study Room became a harmonious division of labor.

Recently, there weren’t many documents, and Gold Coin completed them in just half a day.

After finishing, it took a document in its mouth and brought it to Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng glanced over and noticed that what Gold Coin brought wasn’t an ordinary document but an invitation letter.

The letter was sent by Penglai, signed by the Regent King of Penglai.

The Penglai Regent King, Ji Ru Mo?

Upon seeing the three graceful words, Yun Sheng raised an eyebrow.

Yun Sheng had heard some rumors about Ji Ru Mo of Penglai but had never met him in person.

Penglai is a country that respects the Summoning Court, internally governed by an Emperor and a King.

The Emperor refers naturally to the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, and the King to the Regent King of Penglai.

Though there are both an Emperor and a King, in terms of power, these two hold parallel authority.

The Red Robe Summoning Emperor manages the Summoning Court, whereas the Penglai Regent King oversees the political affairs of Penglai.

Ji Ru Mo, the current Penglai Regent King, ranks first among the Wuji Five Treasures not only due to his longest age but also because he is a rare noteworthy beauty.

Rumor has it that when the Penglai Princess was carrying Ji Ru Mo, a bright moon entered her embrace, and when Ji Ru Mo was born, an Ancient Divine Beast appeared in Penglai.

Yet, such a distinguished and gifted individual suffered a disfiguring fire at the age of ten during which his face was ruined.

Since then, Ji Ru Mo hasn’t moved about on the continent.

But today, he wrote a letter himself.

Yun Sheng opened the letter, surprisingly authored by Ji Ru Mo himself.

The letter stated that recently someone noticed instability within the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, with signs of collapse in the Dutian Blood Seal, prompting Penglai to invite the other four countries and major forces across the continent to Penglai to discuss how to repair the Dutian Blood Seal.

Three years... It’s already been three years.

Reading the letter’s content, a look of realization crossed Yun Sheng’s brow.

Three years ago, the Dutian Blood Seal was severely damaged and on the verge of collapse due to Ye Beiming’s "beastification."

At that time, the Dharma Temple Chief and several elders from the Mainland Elite Camp found ways to temporarily stabilize the Dutian Blood Seal. However, back then, the Dharma Temple Chief mentioned that the seal’s stability might only last three years, and if not resolved, it could potentially collapse after that.

Throughout these three years, the major nations of the continent have been taking turns every month to monitor the Dutian Blood Seal, reporting any unusual disturbances to other countries and forces immediately.

Last month was Penglai’s turn to guard the Dutian Blood Seal.

According to several summoners responsible for Penglai’s duty, in recent days, turmoil raged within the Dutian Blood Seal and a substantial amount of new Beast Blood Cloud was forming.

If the Dutian Blood Seal collapses, the Wuji Continent will lose its natural barrier, and the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, which has coveted the Wuji Continent for years, would surely swarm in.

In the past three years, the Eight Desolate Continent and the descendants of the Eight Desolates have appeared quiet.

There have been no new traces of the Eight Desolate Descendants on the continent.

Once appearing in Wuji Continent, Hei Linlin, Hu Linglong, and Hei Yao haven’t shown up again.

Yet, in Yun Sheng’s mind, Hei Yao’s terrifying power remains vividly remembered.

It’s not just Hei Yao, but also her mother Hu Jiusheng, along with the Ancient Qilin Curse, the whereabouts of Ye Beiming today—all questions pressing heavily on her heart, keeping it laden with burdens.
