The Emperor was very familiar with the elephant statue. It was the one that he had hired people to specially craft when he was obsessed with the grandeur of powerful elephants. The stone used for the statue was the hardest diamond and it was only completed after craftsmen toiled hard for over a thousand days and nights.
The elephant statue was 3.6 meters tall. Just the amount of diamonds used was already ten thousand over tonnes. The veins all over the elephant statue were highly detailed, making it look real from afar. On the head of the elephant, there were another 10 sparkling diamonds incorporated.
This was the masterpiece that the Emperor was most pleased with and had specially displayed it in front of his palace to admire every day.
But even over his dead body, the Emperor had not expected that the elephant statue that he had taken pride in for so many years would actually come to life!
He looked dumbfounded at the huge elephant’s trunk that was hanging in midair. The eyes of the elephant that were originally embedded on the statue using jewels were now shining brightly.
The Emperor was completely stunned.
“This… this…” With trembling hands, the Emperor pointed at the elephant statue that Ji Fengyan was sitting on, as if everything was a dream.
Ji Fengyan smiled as she looked at the Emperor’s panic-stricken face. She casually patted the elephant statue’s head. “I heard that the Emperor likes this statue quite a lot. Ah Da, how about you give a greeting?”
As though it had understood Ji Fengyan’s words, the elephant statue suddenly swung its trunk up and a sonorous growl was heard.
The sound was so loud that it caused the entire palace to quake!
And the Emperor had even almost fallen off his throne!
“Why? You’re afraid now? There are still others that have not yet greeted you.” Ji Fengyan raised her chin slightly. Looking at the Emperor’s pale face, she immediately raised her hands.
With her hands waving, all the crafted animal statues came out one after another from behind the elephant statue’s back!
Within seconds, the roar of the lion and tiger, as well as the cry of the eagle, pierced everyone’s ears. The statues that were used by the Emperor as play toys all appeared in front of him. The largest statue was a 20 meter long huge python, and the smallest one was a palm-sized big jade rabbit. All the statues with a range of a history of several years to centuries now came alive and moving in front of the Emperor.
The Emperor had almost been scared out of his wits.
What was happening?
How did these things become alive?
The Emperor’s face flushed white, and the Eldest Princess standing beside him also had a dark face. Seeing Ji Fengyan who should have been locked away in the dungeon appearing majestically in front of herself, the hatred she had almost overflowed from her eyes.
“Ji Fengyan! How dare you! You’d actually dare to assassinate Your Majesty!” Suddenly, the Eldest Princess stepped forward and criticised Ji Fengyan for her dishonourable actions. Then, she coldly said, “Someone, capture this rebel!”
The Eldest Princess’s strong voice hit the ground hard and the entire palace resounded with her voice.
With her arms crossed, Ji Fengyan looked at the Eldest Princess’s arrogant look leisurely. Her lips curled into a nonchalant and cold smile.
In the huge palace, there was no response to the Eldest Princess’s command. All the palace doors were blocked off by the statues summoned by Ji Fengyan. In the palace, besides the Emperor and the Eldest Princess, there was only the “rebel” Ji Fengyan left.
