Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou raised his wine glass, and under Chu Tianxiao's hopeful gaze, he pondered for a moment, and finally said, "...Okay."
"Take what you have prepared in exchange. If it satisfies me, I will give it to you."
Emperor Zhou looked at Chu Tianxiao with deep eyes, as if he could see through him...
"But... if your things cannot satisfy me, then you will be charged with deceiving the emperor and committing treason, both crimes will be punished together!"
Hearing this, a sentence immediately emerged in Chu Tianxiao's mind... Don't underestimate the people in the world!
"It seems that Your Majesty had already guessed that I would be prepared to exchange..."
Chu Tianxiao calmed down and took out a jade box from the Xumi Ring. He said, "In that case, this is a gift for Your Majesty. Please take a look..."
The word "send" made Emperor Zhou stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and smiled: "It seems that you are not only a little prodigal, but also a little fox, just like your father. Are you thinking of tricking me..."
Chu Tianxiao heard the joke in Emperor Zhou's words, and was not afraid at all. Instead, he said shamelessly: "Your Majesty is right..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou shook his head again, with a playful smile on his face, and said, "I am the ruler of the world, and I have everything. I want to see what you, a little prodigal, can give me. How can you be so confident that you can exchange it for my treasure..."
Chu Tianxiao said: "Your Majesty is rich, and all the rare treasures are probably insignificant to you, but you still have things you want but cannot get, so..."
At this point, Chu Tianxiao opened the jade box, stood beside him respectfully, and said, "Chu Tianxiao, I wish you a good dream."
Inside the jade box, a light red pill was emitting a dreamy color...
"This pill is called the Dream Returning Pill. It can allow a person to return to the happiest moment of their life in a dream and see... the person they want to see the most. Moreover, what they see is as if they were in the real world. When they wake up from the dream, they will have endless aftertastes."
After these words fell, Emperor Zhou's pupils shrank sharply, and his face showed surprise, joy, worry, fear and other emotions that should not appear on him... At this moment, he looked out of control, stood up, looked at Chu Tianxiao and said in a trembling voice: "You... what did you say?"
"Hasn't the Dream Reincarnation Pill been lost for hundreds of years? Where did you get one..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Zhou reacted, took a deep breath, sat down again, but smiled bitterly and shook his head...
"I lost my composure."
If it was just an ordinary dream poison, Emperor Zhou would not show such an expression since he is well-informed. However, it should be noted that the Dream Returning Pill was a rare pill even hundreds of years ago. There is a saying that "it is easy to get a city, but it is hard to find a pill"! This kind of pill can not only create and guide dreams, but more importantly... this dream is extremely real!
It is said that it almost touches the edge of reality and illusion! The things and people in the dream are almost the same as the real people and things...
This is the most desired pill for many practitioners who have encountered bottlenecks or are dying. Although it has no combat value, it is extremely beneficial for breaking through realms, fighting inner demons, facing the inner self, etc. At the level of Emperor Zhou, inner perfection is extremely important, so the value of this pill to him is simply immeasurable...
Of course, the most important thing is that Emperor Lu Xuan of Zhou is a true emperor...
Even after so many years, his yearning for his first wife still could not be wiped away. Instead, it was like brewing wine, the more it brewed, the deeper it became, and the deeper it became, the more intoxicating it became... After ten years of separation between life and death, he was alone in a lonely place, with nowhere to vent... The king was responsible for the whole world, so it was difficult for him to have a good dream, but now this little prodigal seemed to be able to... give you a good dream? !
Now, when Emperor Zhou finished speaking with mixed emotions, Chu Tianxiao said, "It's just my nature, how can I say I lost my composure? Your Majesty, don't worry about it..."
"... You are a good person." Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou restrained his expression, but said with a bit of a smile, "But... no matter what is reasonable, this is a great gift to me... Your Majesty is not joking, take it."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Tianxiao felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and there was a jade bottle. When he looked closely, it was transparent. A drop of water took the shape of a fish and swam in it. It was magical...
Chu Tianxiao knew that this was the famous Tianyi Divine Water, and he quickly put it away, inevitably feeling excited!
"Finally... I finally got it! I've now completed four-fifths of the main quest!"
"There's only one left... the only thing missing is the Heavenly Secret Stele!"
At the same time, a cold voice came to his ears.
“Main Quest: I’ve abused my true destiny a thousand times III: The little loser is growing stronger and stronger, and he’s ready to face his true destiny head-on!”
"Ding Di... It has been detected that the host has collected the 'Tianyi Divine Water'. The completion rate of the main task III is currently 4/5. The phased rewards will be issued..."
"Ding Di, congratulations to the host for obtaining 800 exchange points, an opportunity to exchange for skill points."
"Current amount lost: 50,000,000."
Hearing about this reward, Chu Tianxiao's heart was even more excited... Calculating the accounts, apart from the 500 exchange points for Huimeng Dan, he still had 800 exchange points, which was enough for one of the two opportunities except the Lingquan Initiation...
Oh, and there seems to be a special reward for Main Line II waiting to be issued...
"My wealth is getting richer and richer!"
Although Chu Tianxiao was happy in his heart, his face remained calm. After a pause, he regained his composure, looked at Emperor Zhou, and said with a little trepidation in his voice: "Your Majesty, I actually have another request..."
"... Go ahead." Emperor Zhou hesitated for a moment and said calmly. He just looked at Chu Tianxiao's expression and felt a little curious...
"… Then I will speak frankly…"
Chu Tianxiao paused, then raised his head, stared at Emperor Zhou, and said solemnly: "I want... the top spot in the Great Autumn Test!"
After these words were spoken, Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes immediately, and a cold light seemed to flash in his eyes!
His gaze seemed to be substantial, as if he could see through all of Chu Tianxiao's thoughts.
Emperor Zhou just looked at Chu Tianxiao quietly, and Chu Tianxiao looked back at him without showing any weakness, his eyes full of determination. However, due to the difference in realm, he slowly began to pant, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead...
Finally, Emperor Zhou spoke first.
"I don't understand."
After a few breaths, as if to confirm that Chu Tianxiao was not just talking casually, Emperor Zhou retracted his gaze and said calmly: "With the strength you have shown in recent days, you are likely to win the top spot in the Great Autumn Examination. Why do you have to do this?"
As the King of the Great Zhou, how could he not understand Chu Tianxiao's true meaning after hearing his request? But it was precisely because he understood that there was a hint of confusion in the Emperor's voice...
Chu Tianxiao had no way to answer this. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but after seeing the request for this "weird thing" on the Panlong Pillar, he could no longer reveal the reason in front of others, as if he had been hit by some kind of secret method similar to the "three-mouthed" method of the Great Zhou Dynasty... What's even more strange is that even the Emperor of Zhou seemed to be unable to see the arrogance of this secret method...
"Your Majesty, this matter still concerns my life and property, please help me."
Chu Tianxiao could only say this with his fists clasped. Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou was silent for a long time, but he said, "I don't care about the opinions of the government and the public, nor do I care about the criticisms of some people with ulterior motives, but I care about my name in history. I am determined to destroy the demons, unify the vast land of China, and lead the human race to revival, so I... cannot leave this stigma."
After a pause, Emperor Zhou said, "I cannot and do not want to be a tyrant."
