Chapter 1748 - 207: A Grave Problem
Princess Qingyan answered one by one, without a hint of suspicion.
These were the real answers, and the King and Empress of Tianze Country finally lowered their guard, believing that the woman in front of them, who looked exactly like Yan'er, was indeed their daughter.
It was said that Yan'er had a tumultuous experience in the Cold Water Realm, which made them very curious about what had happened, so they questioned Yan'er.
Princess Qingyan answered word by word.
These were her parents, nothing needed to be concealed, and she also needed their power to rebuild the Frost Empire.
Upon learning that their daughter encountered that flower thief again in the Cold Water Realm and narrowly escaped being killed, the King and Empress of Tianze Country were extremely furious.
However, they were astonished by the other's cultivation speed, as he had already risen to be a Superior Immortal Fourth Realm expert, capable of contending with a High Immortal First Realm expert. Most importantly, this kid had gathered the Northern Seven Constellations Beads, which was beyond their imagination.
It's known that even a kingdom finds it difficult to gather Constellation Beads from any direction—East, South, West, or North—yet this kid gathered them in less than three years, remarkably fast.
The daughter and that kid ultimately entered the White Palace atop the Snow Mountain, but unfortunately, the daughter did not kill that kid.
The two of them became the only cultivators to survive entry into the White Palace; no one knew what they had experienced.
It's said that after escaping, that kid twice ventured up the Snow Mountain and was pursued by an Ice Dragon, yet managed to get through safely.
Princess Qingyan was somewhat surprised.
She didn't expect Lin Yifan to dare venture up the Snow Mountain after escaping, seemingly searching for something, but whether he found it was something she needed to ask the Polar Ice Dragon.
The Cold Water Realm was a space opened by a deputy under the Frost Empress. Princess Qingyan was eager to know the relationship between her mother and the Han Clan, so she asked, "Mother, are you a member of the Han Clan?"
The Empress of Tianze Country was shocked because she had never revealed Yan'er's clan identity to her since childhood; she did so to prevent Yan'er from being drawn into that conflict. How did Yan'er suddenly know about this after returning from the Cold Water Realm? How did she guess it?
So she asked, "Yan'er, how did you know I'm a member of the Han Clan?"
"The Cold Water Realm was opened by someone from the Han Clan, and because of this, only I can seize the fortunes inside, and my bloodline seems to have been activated," Princess Qingyan answered.
"Bloodline? What bloodline?"
The Empress of Tianze Country was no longer calm and immediately came over to hold Princess Qingyan's shoulders, nervously and excitedly asking.
Princess Qingyan knew why her mother was so anxious to know the answer, so she answered, "The Extremely Yin and Cold Bloodline."
"What!"
The Empress of Tianze Country was astonished—Han Clan has always been searching for a possessor of the Extremely Yin and Cold Bloodline to lead the Frost Empire into glory once again.
She never expected her daughter to be the one; however, she had tested Yan'er's blood upon her birth and found that she did not possess the Extremely Yin and Cold Bloodline, so why was this?
"How was your bloodline activated?"
"After four Thousand Illusion Birds attacked me, there was a loud boom, and the force that had been sealed within me for years burst out, sweeping through my body, and then I underwent a qualitative transformation," Princess Qingyan answered.
"Thousand Illusion Birds!"
These ice attribute spirit beasts were very familiar to the Empress of Tianze Country; they were the Holy Birds of the Northern Realm Nation and held a certain status in the Frost Empire.
It is said that the last Frost Empress activated her bloodline after being attacked by Thousand Illusion Birds; she quickly cast spells to inspect Yan'er's bloodline.
As her consciousness entered Yan'er's body, she found that Yan'er's current bloodline was exuding waves of coldness, extremely smooth and pure—it was a rare perfect bloodline.
"Wonderful! We've finally found the person to lead our Han Clan to glory once again."
"Empress, why are you so happy?" the King of Tianze Country was very curious.
The conversation between the mother and daughter was quite baffling to him. What were Han Clan people, Extremely Yin and Cold bloodline, and Thousand Illusion Birds supposed to mean and how were they connected?
"Gentleman, have you heard of the Frost Empire?" the Empress of Tianze Country asked.
"I've heard of it, why?"
"Yan'er will be the only candidate to rebuild the Frost Empire," the Empress of Tianze Country responded.
"What? How could a weak woman achieve such a grand goal?"
"Have you heard of the Frost Empress?" the Empress of Tianze Country pursued.
"The Frost Empress, one of the four legendary ancient Divine Emperors?"
"Yes, her."
"What does she have to do with Yan'er?" the King of Tianze Country asked.
"The rulers of the Frost Empire have always been selected based on possession of the Extremely Yin and Cold Bloodline. In other words, this bloodline has supreme status within the Han Clan, able to unite all Han Clan people. Now Yan'er possesses this bloodline; she is the clan leader of our Han Clan and the future ruler of the Frost Empire, even potentially a figure of the supreme Divine Emperor level," the Empress of Tianze Country indicated.
"Gasp!"
The King of Tianze Country inhaled sharply, even as a king, he was far behind a ruler of a vast empire like the Frost Empire; and a Divine Emperor was even more unreachable. Therefore, he was genuinely startled to hear his daughter had such potential.
"Empress, are you not lying to me? Can Yan'er truly become a person of Divine Emperor level?"
"The Frost Empress was our last clan leader; what do you think?" the Empress of Tianze Country retorted.
"But... I heard the Han Clan has always been..."
The King of Tianze Country suddenly realized a big problem, a very severe issue.
"I understand, I'm sorry, I've hidden my identity from you for many years, I'm truly sorry," the Empress of Tianze Country repeatedly apologized.
When the King of Tianze Country married her, she hadn't told him she was of Han Clan origin; because for thousands of years, the Han Clan had been hunted by an organization.
This organization was extremely powerful, the largest organization in the Realm of Longevity, filled with masters, feared by all. If she had revealed her identity to the King of Tianze Country, he surely wouldn't have married her, so to marry her beloved, she deceived her beloved.
"It's okay, I won't reject you because of your identity; besides, this isn't the fault of the Han Clan; so don't blame yourself," the King of Tianze Country comforted.
However, even saying this, he still felt quite troubled. After all, he was a king, and if his kingdom was destroyed because of this, he would be unjustifiably guilty.
"Father and Mother, the organization you mentioned, is it Yuehui?" Princess Qingyan asked.
She had seen records of this organization in the Frost Empress's books.
