Chapter 282: The Humiliated Empress

Chapter 282: The Humiliated Empress

She was mad!

At this moment, Empress Zhou Wu even had the thought of twisting off Qin Xuan's head.

This bastard was simply wicked to the bone.

Taking advantage of her vulnerability and ruining her reputation!

"No, that's not right!"

Suddenly, Empress Zhou Wu, having regained her senses, no longer had time to worry about other things.

She raised her slender, white arm and gazed at the dark green threads above.

With her discernment, she could naturally see the faint changes within.

This deep, dark green seemed to have slowed down a little?

Was this guy, Qin Xuan, using his fingertips to inject the Three Thousand Dragon Flame and Nirvana Fire into her body?

Was he effectively suppressing the strange Qi that was rampaging through her body?

Hiss...

Just thinking about it made Empress Zhou Wu feel it was unbelievable.

What kind of freak was this guy, Qin Xuan?

In such a short time, he was actually able to Cultivate these two special flames to such a profound level?

One had to know, even for her, cultivating techniques inferior to Treasure Techniques would require decades, or even a hundred years.

And how old was Qin Xuan?

His bone age was only in his early twenties.

The time he had possessed the Treasure Techniques was barely over a year.

Did this not mean that this guy, Qin Xuan, had simultaneously cultivated two Treasure Techniques in less than a year?

And had cultivated both Treasure Techniques to a level that made people fearful?

No wonder!

Empress Zhou Wu realized in her heart. No wonder Saintess Yao Yao, that woman, ignored the efforts of Saint Son Chen Fan and Su Youyu, and even after they became Saint and Saintess, she never bestowed the Legacy.

But when it came to Qin Xuan, she had bestowed the Treasure Technique without the slightest hesitation.

If it were her, she would also choose Qin Xuan as the successor.

Before meeting Qin Xuan, she had never heard of such a Heaven-Defying Prodigy, let alone seen one!

"This is not just the power of the special flames; is there something else strange about you?"

Empress Zhou Wu turned her head subconsciously.

She did not know if it was because she was eager to know about the other strange things on Qin Xuan, or if it was intentional to cover the part of herself she had dirtied.

Looking at the baby face inches away, knowing that within it existed that high and mighty, extremely noble and cold Empress Mingyue, Qin Xuan's playful heart grew even stronger.

"Isn't it just the Three Thousand Dragon Flame and the Nirvana Fire?"

Qin Xuan raised his fingertip, where a faint milky fragrance lingered. He flicked his finger, and a cluster of Three Thousand Dragon Flame and Nirvana Fire sprang up one after another. Pretending to be ignorant, he said, "What else could there be?"

Empress Zhou Wu frowned, then asked suspiciously, "To what level have you cultivated your True Dragon Precious Technique and Phoenix Treasure Technique? Once a Treasure Technique is cultivated to Perfection, according to rumors, one can obtain some of the Bloodline foundation of the Treasure Bone's owner, which are also Divine Beasts or Vicious Beasts."

She found it hard to believe.

Qin Xuan had come out of the Dragon Blood Secret Realm, how long had it been?

Not even a year.

Being able to use the Three Thousand Dragon Flame was already a sign of his Heaven-Defying Aptitude.

If he could Cultivate the True Dragon Precious Technique to Perfection in less than a year, how Heaven-Defying would that be?

She could not accept this impossible reality, and she also sensed the difference.

Apart from the aura of the Dragon Source, she felt a strange sensation on Qin Xuan.

It seemed that the strange Qi within her body was somewhat fearful of Qin Xuan's body.

It was as if it were being suppressed.

Qin Xuan looked at Empress Zhou Wu's eyes inches away with great interest. "You are not very old, but you know quite a lot. You even know about the Dragon Source?"

From the moment the True Dragon Precious Technique reached Perfection, he knew that his body already possessed the ability to generate the Dragon Source.

To put it bluntly, it was a Pure Yang Body.

A good Cauldron.

If a female Cultivator were to engage in Dual Cultivation with him, her cultivation progress would advance by leaps and bounds.

This had been perfectly demonstrated on Scarlet Thorn and the others.

However, to Qin Xuan, this thing was not very useful.

Compared to the Chaos Hongmeng Body, it was still a bit like a chicken rib.

Originally, he thought Empress Mingyue was trapped by a special Physique, and his Chaos Hongmeng Body could suppress all Physiques and easily curb the negative effects of the Physique's backlash.

Now it seemed that Empress Zhou Wu's source of power came from an external object.

That is, the strange Qi that was currently backfiring on Empress Zhou Wu.

It was not a special Physique.

Fortunately, there were ways to deal with this strange Qi.

Whether it was the Three Thousand Dragon Flame, the Nirvana Fire, the Dragon Source, or the Chaos Hongmeng Body, they could all have a slight suppressive effect.

Even if it didn't cure the root cause, it was enough to treat the symptoms.

He was just worrying that he couldn't keep Empress Zhou Wu hanging for a while longer.

Sleepiness came, and someone brought a pillow.

If one suppression wasn't complete, then he would just suppress it a few more times.

Anyway, he wasn't the one losing out!

A storm of thoughts swirled in Empress Zhou Wu's mind. After much deliberation, she slowly explained, "At the Double-Pupil Palace, the Palace Master told me many ways to suppress this strange Qi, but unfortunately, these methods were like castles in the air. Even Her Majesty the Empress and the Palace Master do not possess this ability."

Qin Xuan stroked Empress Zhou Wu's head and warned, "In the future, meet Empress Mingyue less often. Don't look at her appearance of being good to you; in reality, she is harboring evil intentions. Even I cannot get any advantage from her. Don't let her sell you out, and then you still have to count the money for her."

Empress Zhou Wu felt limp and weak all over. Hearing Qin Xuan's words slandering herself, she clenched her small fists. "Her Majesty the Empress is not the kind of person you think, and she is not as bad as you think. She treats me very well! You must have misunderstood her."

One had to know, if it were someone else, they could have completely destroyed Shangguan Ying's body with one palm and logically taken the body for themselves.

Why bother to nourish Shangguan Ying's soul and place it within her own body?

This method alone was definitely not something a heartless emperor could do.

She was just pushed to the forefront and had to be heartless; she was by no means a truly cold-blooded emperor.

Also, this guy Qin Xuan said he didn't take advantage?

Others could say that, but could this bastard who had taken all the advantages have the face to say such shameless words?

Qin Xuan curled his lips disapprovingly. "You know Su Youyu and Ning Waner, right? Empress Mingyue's sworn sisters. You just heard it too. Even Empress Mingyue's sisters and confidants tried so hard to persuade me to leave the Mingyue Dynasty. You can imagine how ruthless this Empress is!"

Empress Zhou Wu gritted her teeth and cursed Su Youyu and Ning Waner three thousand six hundred times in her heart.

She simply turned her body away, back to Qin Xuan, and ignored him.

She did not want to continue this topic.

She was already unable to refute.

Being pointed at and scolded by Qin Xuan to her face, and the key was that she couldn't talk back—this frustration was so suffocating that she was full of sour water.

Suddenly, feeling the alternation of cold and heat, Empress Zhou Wu tensed her delicate body in an instant.

Her neck pressed against Qin Xuan's chest, her arms tucked against her sides, and she gasped. "Young Master Qin, what are you doing again?"

"Aren't you afraid that my sister will know and scold you?"

"Aren't you afraid that the Palace Master will know you are molesting me and will attack you?"

Empress Zhou Wu only felt that she was asking for trouble now.

Her brain must have been kicked by a donkey to think of approaching Qin Xuan in the identity of Shangguan Ying.

She didn't get any benefits, but instead put herself in a dragon's den and tiger's lair.

Yet, right now, she was completely unable to resist.
