Highlight the sharp punishment for this bewildered Celestial Emperor and that meddling attendant. Immediately, Gao Liang had the Emperor learn to bark like a dog and the attendant to meow like a cat—as a clear demonstration of reprimand. And it was done right before the presence of the Emperor’s court ladies and concubines. The Emperor crawled on the ground, delightfully circling the central hall of Xinglu Palace three times, while the attendant followed suit, meowing all the way, chasing and being chased. "Woof! Woof!" "Meow! Meow!" "Tsk!" Ying'er laughed happily. The Emperor’s consorts felt deeply humiliated, having to perform like their Emperor’s wives, their dignity utterly ruined. They all envied Ying'er. Ying'er was the wife of King Gao Liang, a hero matched with a beauty—beauty paired with hero—perfectly suited. Not only that, but the beauty was a first-rank celestial beauty, and the hero, a first-rank celestial hero. A handsome man and a graceful woman, a divine match—exquisitely harmonious. There was a regal aura in Gao Liang's demeanor; none of the empresses of the Heavenly Emperor dared to meet his gaze directly. Ying'er, however, was happily leaning against Gao Liang, delightedly watching the Heavenly Emperor and the troublesome attendant attempt to mimic the dog-like calls of the seedlings. After only half a lap, the Emperor and the attendant were too exhausted to continue, gasping for breath, and Gao Liang had promised them that they would be released only after completing three full laps. Though they persisted, they finally managed just one full lap before collapsing. They knelt before Gao Liang, pleading desperately, "Gao Liang! Please spare us! Spare us!" Gao Liang then decided on a new punishment: he would have the Emperor summon all ministers and heavenly generals, who would then be required to chop wood in front of them. A cart of firewood was brought, and the Emperor stared, stunned. Oh my! How many useless logs were there! Gao Liang immediately issued an order: they had to finish chopping the wood within one hour, or else they would have to chop for three days and three nights. "Alright, then! Husband!" "I think you've gone too far!" Ying'er believed that a gentle reprimand of the Heavenly Emperor would be sufficient. However, our Gao Liang insisted, "Ying'er! What do you know? For someone of the Heavenly Emperor's stature, we must never be soft in our approach!" "Husband, I still feel a bit concerned—the Heavenly Emperor is even more formidable than the Ghost King, and he commands many capable generals and officers." Before Ying'er could finish speaking, Gao Liang had already clenched his fists and declared, "Come forth and challenge me if anyone dares!" The Heavenly Emperor, standing before ten thousand divine soldiers and generals, was forced to chop firewood—his dignity had been utterly humiliated. The soldiers and generals all shook their heads in dismay, feeling deeply embarrassed to serve under such a ruler. Why was the Heavenly Emperor chopping firewood? Because the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress had once compelled Ying'er to go to the storage room, where she endured three days of torment. Though resilient, Ying'er had managed to endure that ordeal. Yet now, neither the Heavenly Emperor nor his attendant maid had ever done anything so humble—still, they had not even managed to chop a single piece of firewood The heavenly emperor and the attendant maid were wounded on their feet by the chopping blade they had themselves raised, both beginning to cry out in pain. The Heavenly Saint Mother dared not appear at all, fearing that as soon as she stepped forward, she would be drawn to the emperor by Gao Liang and chopped down by his thick, massive blade. The more the Heavenly Saint Mother hesitated to show herself, the more her secret became evident. Originally, she had intended to escape swiftly while people were distracted. In her haste, one of her flowing ribbons became caught on the belt of the Great Earthly Power Deity, who had just been summoned by Gao Liang. The Great Earthly Power Deity was deeply afraid of Gao Liang, having faced him in several encounters and witnessed his formidable strength; he was far more obedient to Gao Liang than to the emperor. When Gao Liang gave orders, he responded instantly, summoned at will and dismissed just as easily. The Great Earthly Power Deity was renowned throughout the heavens for his immense strength, arguably the strongest among the immortals. As he moved about, his presence pulled the ribbon, which in turn drew the Saint Mother, causing her to emerge clearly from the crowd. " How could it be that the Great Diamond God has been secretly involved with the Heavenly Saint Mother! The heavenly generals and warriors were all chuckling and teasing. The Heavenly Saint Mother, however, was blushing deeply, truly wishing she could sink through the earth. The Heavenly Emperor, who had been busy splitting wood, felt utterly embarrassed. He noticed that several of the generals were subtly pointing and gesturing at him, sensing that he had been publicly humiliated—immediately turning to the Great Diamond God and the Heavenly Saint Mother, he scolded, "You two have been secretly conspiring! By the court regulations of the Heavenly Palace, you shall both be executed!" The Great Diamond God was instantly alarmed, yet the Heavenly Saint Mother, on the other hand, was doing her best to conceal her embarrassment and said firmly, "Emperor! You must have solid evidence before you speak!" "Well... well..." The Emperor found himself at a loss for words. Indeed, there was no tangible proof of their collusion. Gao Liang chuckled and said, "This shouldn't be difficult at all—I can verify everything right here and now!" Gao Liang's words rang out like a thunderclap in a clear sky, instantly drawing everyone's attention to this warrior Everyone's nerves were on edge, as Gao Liang had arranged for the Great Power Divine Warrior and Tian Sheng Mother to lock eyes. Gao Liang placed a balance between them—his own original invention—designed to measure the heartbeat of each. Each person's heartbeat was reflected on the corresponding side of the balance. Soon, under the watchful eyes of the divine generals and the court ministers, the balance on Tian Sheng Mother's side trembled wildly, while the one on the Great Power Divine Warrior's side, though slightly trembling, remained only mildly inclined. "I know!" Gao Liang thought with certainty. "What do you know?" many asked Gao Liang. Gao Liang replied, "The one who is nervous is..." Tian Sheng Mother's face turned noticeably red, yet as one of the two most prominent figures in the court, second only to the Heavenly Emperor, she would not admit it. Facing Gao Liang, she protested, "How could I have become a traitor? Don't you dare to make things up! Your test is purely a fabrication—there's no basis at all!" "Highlight nodded and gave a soft hum: 'Is that so?'" "Come here!" Highlight waved his hand toward the mighty earth god, and the earth god moved with remarkable obedience, appearing both fearful and reverent, completely submissive. Yet, even so, the earth god trembled, stammering, "Me... me..." Afraid that Highlight might take action against him, Ying'er didn't know what Highlight had in mind for summoning the earth god, and looked puzzled at her husband. Highlight smiled warmly at her, saying, "Husband! Good news! Good news!" "Hmph! What good news? Just playing tricks on me! I simply won't believe you!" Ying'er smiled brightly, gently brushing a strand of her flowing hair with her jade fingers—her beauty was simply radiant. Highlight gazed at Ying'er's full, lush breasts, feeling a refreshing sense of ease. Indeed, Ying'er had undergone remarkable changes lately—her bust was growing fuller and fuller, making her look more and more enchanting. The Great Diamond God stood motionless beside Gao Liang. Gao Liang said to him, "Diamond God! You've passed the trial!" "What? How did I pass?" The Great Diamond God still felt a bit confused.
