Meanwhile, on the Dragon Throne, the Empress's thoughts gradually calmed as she took a slow, deep breath and regained full control of her expression.
A graceful, elegant smile returned to Regent Empress Fen Ling's face as she spoke, her voice melodic and filled with imperial dignity.
"Envoy Lan Suyao, Envoy Yue Lan, and Envoy Li Feng… on behalf of the Fen Dynasty, I welcome you to the imperial capital."
She rose slowly from the Dragon Throne, her crimson-and-gold robes flowing like flames.
The twin spectral dragons coiled elegantly around her as she descended a few steps, radiating both majesty and warmth.
"The journey from the Azure Moon Sect is long and arduous. Especially in these troubled times. I am grateful that your esteemed sect has sent such capable individuals to aid us in our time of need."
Her crimson eyes swept across the three envoys, lingering for a brief moment on Li Feng before she continued with formal courtesy.
