(On the bright side, at least if I was helpless at the time, everything would not have turned out in the worst direction.)
Although few people have seen the Taoist chief in action, no one would measure his strength based solely on his early Nascent Soul cultivation level.
At least Luo Wusheng felt that the strength of this Taoist empress was most likely far superior to that of the red-faced man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul from Jianzhou.
In addition, if this person wants to call for help, I'm afraid any one of them can deal with the chicken monster.
Putting aside other things, as long as the Human King Sword is pulled out, it will be as easy for the Empress Miss of Xuanyuanzhou to chop off a late Nascent Soul cultivator like cutting vegetables.
If you look at it this way, there really isn't any real danger in this battle.
When the crisis came, it was inevitable that the Empress would take action... In fact, the other party did intend to take action at that time, but chose to wait and see because of my appearance.
(This is the last resort... Is it part of the White-haired Lolita's plan? That's really foolproof.)
After having experienced many times of being clearly arranged by his own strong men, Luo Wusheng felt that he had grasped some of the nature of the white-haired loli and his cheap master.
Just like this trip to Qifeng City, it is estimated that most of the content is in the hands of their own bigwigs.
(I'll confirm it later, but it should be the same as I thought. As for the Ancient Phoenix Spirit Essence... Judging from the induction connection generated after the initial refining, the planting location has been determined. If I am gone now, will I be resurrected in the Xiaofeng Mountain in the overlapping space?)
(Hiss, I don’t know what the situation is there now…)
Thinking of the pair of terrifying eyes that he vaguely saw before he lost consciousness, Luo Wusheng felt his scalp tingling.
That should be the peerless power that is suppressed in that space
Luo Wusheng's eyes flickered, and Miss Yan Yao's words opposite him gradually came to an end.
“… That’s pretty much it.”
"Now, all those Yuanying from Jianzhou have temporarily accepted the order from the Immortal Kingdom. After they recover from their injuries, they will help the Immortal Kingdom guard against the demons during this period... In addition, before sending you here, they also mentioned many times that they would thank you in person after you wake up."
"By the way, are you interested in the transfer order from the Immortal Kingdom? With your strength, you should be able to enjoy the same treatment as a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."
Her beautiful eyes fell on Luo Wusheng.
But when the Demon Sect's Holy Son heard these words, he felt a little strange in his heart.
The order from the Immortal Kingdom mentioned by the Taoist Empress in front of her was the reason why the other party would bring all the wounded from Qifeng City to the Taoist Equipment Pavilion.
After realizing that the demon race might be detrimental to the Immortal Kingdom, the Immortal Kingdom naturally made corresponding responses.
The first and most important thing is naturally to gather high-level monks who can fight against the demon race.
However, although the world is big, high-level monks are only a minority after all, and most of them have their own things to do.
It would be fine if they were just busy practicing in seclusion, but a considerable number of high-level cultivators were in high positions in various sects... It wouldn't be a big deal to leave for a short period of time, but the current situation in the Immortal Kingdom was obviously not the case.
The top leaders of the Immortal Kingdom are still not sure when the demon tribe is planning to cause trouble.
Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to allow high-level monks from all walks of life to stay in the royal city, which is mostly stable and peaceful, for a long time to defend it.
Well, this also indirectly shows that the Empress's qualifications and background are still a little shallow, and she does not have that much influence on the monks in other states.
After all, she has only been on the throne for three years and has spent a year sorting out the chaos. Moreover, she is a woman who has become emperor. The fact that she has been recognized by the world in such a short period of time means that this girl does have the qualities of an emperor.
Just as ordinary people care about three meals a day, most cultivators in the world of cultivation care more about their own level of cultivation.
Therefore, the Immortal Kingdom chose to issue the so-called temporary transfer order.
Monks of corresponding cultivation level who help guard against the demon clan in the royal city for a period of time can obtain corresponding natural treasures and spiritual stone resources as rewards. If the demon clan takes action during this period, the monks who help can also receive full rewards according to their merits, and even the corresponding injuries will be treated by the Immortal Kingdom.
… This is where the usual treatment takes place.
Given the relationship between Taoism and the Immortal Kingdom, they will naturally be involved in this matter.
With the healing methods and elixirs from Taoism and the Immortal Kingdom, as well as cultivators with sufficient strength to analyze the situation, it is no wonder that the little demon girl agreed to come here.
After all, the Magic Weapon Pavilion is the only one holding up the stage...
Luo Wusheng complained in his heart.
(It just feels like something is wrong... Although the little fox has returned, and the demon tribe has indeed revealed some conspiracy, is it enough for the Immortal Kingdom to do this? Or has the Immortal Kingdom found more clues on its own?)
This time, the Immortal Kingdom even opened its treasury, so it is really being cautious.
I originally thought that this would happen only after I informed the Empress of the crucial information...
While Luo Wusheng's thoughts were churning, he looked at the girl opposite him and smiled gently.
"I will be staying in the royal city for a long time. If the demons make any moves, I will take action naturally. Why should I participate in the fairy kingdom's transfer order?"
"Compared to those material possessions, I also don't want anything to happen to the Royal City..."
After a pause, Luo Wusheng naturally looked towards the window, as if sighing: "Her Majesty the Empress must be in a headache right now, right? If the battlefield is in the royal city, no matter who dies as a result, it is not something that the Immortal Kingdom and she can easily accept... This kind of transfer order can indeed relieve some pressure."
After hearing these words, Miss Yan Yao's eyes flickered, and she spoke casually:
"Since we were unable to detect the demon tribe's movements early, there is nothing we can do about it..."
Luo Wusheng shook his head.
"It was already extremely difficult for Her Majesty to rebuild the Immortal Kingdom to its current level in just three years, especially after dealing with the turmoil caused by the disappearance of the previous emperor of the Immortal Kingdom for a year."
"If we can still detect the movements of the demon tribe in this situation, how can we be as famous as her?"
The early morning sunshine reflected the boy's hearty smile, which was displayed in the eyes of the woman opposite him.
Chapter 349: Important Matters with the Empress? (Second Update)
Miss Yan Yao felt a little complicated.
Just as Luo Wusheng had guessed, she did arrive at Qifeng City a little early yesterday.
In fact, she had already received the news when the Holy Son of the Demon Sect left the royal city, and she soon learned that the group of three was heading to Qifeng City.
It’s a pity that none of her three bodies could get away for the time being.
Needless to say, the emperor's body must help to eliminate the demon formation, and her Taoist body must deal with the remaining matters of the Taoist Equipment Pavilion.
Ever since the previous Pavilion Master disappeared as if he was afraid of taking responsibility, a lot of things have piled up in the Daoqi Pavilion... Although Old Yang, as the chief weapon refiner, helped to deal with some of them, there were still a lot of troubles left in the end.
In addition, the disciples of the Taoist sect who participated in the competition for the Human Immortal Ranking also suffered a lot this time. She also had to settle them down and restore the reputation of this group of [crazy monks who claimed to be disciples of the Taoist sect] in the royal city.
Then many forces from the royal city who were on good terms with the Taoist sect came to pay a visit... After all, there was a relationship between the Taoist sect and the Immortal Kingdom, and the one who came to the royal city this time was someone who had enough weight in the Taoist sect, so it was inevitable that these things would happen.
In addition, there are waves of people who are interested in this...
Well, after the news of her arrival in the royal city spread, the residents of the royal city were in an uproar again.
From then on, the three most talented cultivators of this generation of human race—the Chief of the Taoist Sect, the Empress of the Immortal Kingdom, and the Holy Son of the Demon Sect—gathered in the royal city.
The three geniuses are actually two people, which makes sense.
In short, when everything was over and Miss Yan Yao, the Taoist priest, was able to go to Qifeng City to check the situation, it was already a little late.
Under normal circumstances, she might have been troubled at this time. After all, the time for the royal city to be banned was approaching, and it was almost time for a certain demon sect's saint to return...
But she went in the end.
She wanted to confirm something, something she had just learned about and was extremely concerned about.
Because of this incident, she did not take any action outside Xiaofengshan.
At this moment, looking at Luo Wusheng who spoke just now as if jokingly and without any falsehood, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Miss Yan Yao's face, but she quickly suppressed it.
"You seem to have a good opinion of the empress?"
The girl who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed stood up, with her back to Luo Wusheng, her tone still casual.
(Normally, according to the routine, you should avoid praising another woman in front of a woman... But now this situation is a little bit special...)
What is the best way to praise someone to the heart
Although it is good to praise someone directly, it will always leave too much trace. No matter how skilled you are at bowing down, people will still think that you are flattering them... If your skills are even worse, there will even be a suspicion of flattery in front of others.
Therefore, the most effective way to increase favorability is to give appropriate compliments when not in front of the other person, and then let this naturally reach the other person's ears.
And now, the two forms are in a delicate quantum superposition…
Luo Wusheng's mind turned, but he moved his body from the bed to sit beside the bed.
"At least... in my opinion, what she has done so far is not inferior to any famous emperor in human history, and may even be better."
Just stop at this point to avoid going too far.
After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for a few breaths.
“… If the empress could hear Daoist Fellow Wusheng’s evaluation, she would surely feel happy in her heart even if she didn’t show it on her face.”
Miss Yan Yao turned around, her beautiful face still expressionless, but with a flick of her fingers, an exquisite little bottle fell into Luo Wusheng's arms.
"Well, this is a pill to restore your spiritual power. I have used the Taoist secret method to alleviate your spiritual power exhaustion yesterday. Now that you have awakened, you should be able to recover to your full strength in a short time with this pill."
Luo Wusheng, holding the pill bottle in his hand, was stunned.
Feeling the surging medicinal power in the pill bottle, and taking another look at his dantian which had recovered about one-tenth of his spiritual power, there was a strange look on his face.
After taking this pill, I'm afraid it will fill me up directly, right
As if sensing his emotions, a certain Taoist leader naturally looked away.
"After I reported your situation to the Immortal Kingdom, they took this pill from the national treasury and gave it to you."
"Although the origin of the chicken demon is unknown, it appeared in the heart of the fairyland after all and was dealt with by you. It can be regarded as removing a hidden danger for the fairyland now, so it is normal for you to be generous."
Yes, yes, yes, you are His Majesty and you have the final say.
Luo Wusheng suppressed the change in expression on his face and put the bottle of pills into his storage bag.
The spiritual power in his body will either be completely replenished or completely drained tomorrow. No matter how you think about it, now is not a good time to use this pill.
At this time, the cold voice continued to reach his ears.
"By the way, when this elixir was delivered, there was also a message for me to pass on to you when you wake up."
"Um?"
"It is said that if you, Daoist Ruo Wusheng, are not feeling well today, the Empress who was supposed to meet you today can postpone the meeting to tomorrow... What are your plans? I can help you convey it."
Miss Yan Yao spoke in a tone as if she was talking about something unrelated.
"Well, no need to postpone, you can do it today."
After a light cough, Luo Wusheng said, "I also have something important to discuss with Her Majesty the Empress as soon as possible."
I won’t have time tomorrow.
In addition, according to the words of the girl in front of him, the Immortal Life Pool where his junior sister was recuperating was inside the Imperial Palace.
The Immortal Life Pool is the most suitable place for cultivators to heal their injuries in the Immortal Kingdom. It is divided into many levels, corresponding to cultivators of different realms.
Perhaps considering that the little demon girl would participate in the competition for the Human Immortal Ranking, as well as the factor of herself as a good employee who had not yet taken office, the Empress opened the Immortal Life Pool specifically for her own junior sister so that she could speed up her recovery from her injuries.
In that case, after meeting the empress, I can just go find that little girl.
Ji Yanyao didn't know what Luo Wusheng was thinking... But she inexplicably thought of a certain Saint Maiden of the Demon Sect who had reluctantly agreed to go to the Immortal Life Pool to recover from her injuries because the young man in front of her would also go to the Imperial Palace today.
She shook her head secretly, but she thought about what she was about to say, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Important matter...? If that's the case, I can only think of one important matter between you and the empress."
Miss Yan Yao's face was calm, without any abnormality: "Since you have such an evaluation of the empress, and the senior master has arranged a marriage... "
The words are left blank here.
Luo Wusheng stared at the girl in front of him, his thoughts confused for a moment.
But soon, understanding flashed in his eyes.
A bitter smile naturally appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Yanyao, please don't tease me... Although I said that His Majesty is extremely beautiful and looks like a fairy, and has such a stunning and unparalleled charm and the ability to govern the country, and even his talent for cultivation is top-notch in the world, this is all known to the world, and it is not just my opinion..."
"And as I said before, the marriage contract is not that simple..."
