Through her Divine Sense, Ye Jing noticed the shift of excitement in the mood from everyone and said to her mother, ”They were not as excited as when I was crowned the Holy Consort.”

Lady Consort Ye smiled, ”That is because things are differently now. Your courage to stand against your uncle changes things.”

She resisted the temptation to mention about the masked lad to her daughter.

Ye Jing asked, ”How is my uncle now? Any troubles from him?”

Lady Consort Ye answered, ”He has been quiet. I have heard that he has taken to heavy drinking. I heard that he has not recovered his golden body yet. The blow to his pride must be heavy.”

She smiled as she added, ”There are many things that are waiting for you to settle once you are ready to address the issue.”

Ye Jing growled softly, ”Surely mother can settle for me. I am just your puppet.”

Lady Consort Ye laughed softly, ”I wish I am able to but I really can't. That is because while you are absent for a year, you have received letters of courtships and proposals from all the patriarch celestial clans as well as from numerous other celestial clans.”

Ye Jing was startled, ”What is going on?”

Lady Consort Ye whispered, ”You are now the hottest property in the entire celestial fraternity. Your beauty and renown have already spread far and wide since your coronation incident. If the young masters of the celestial clans can have your hand in marriage, then they will gain a maiden that has the potential to become a Golden Celestial and of course, your heaven-step divine sword is also a temptation factor in making them think so. Plus as the Holy Consort of the Holy Citadel City, you are like a delicious pie that any celestial powers will want to swallow.”
