Chapter 289: Empress Zhou Wu Bows Her Head

"Very well, you all wait here, wait for me to return!"

"My Celestial God Clan will absolutely give you a satisfactory answer!"

The others were just along for the ride.

As long as Qin Xuan agreed to enter the God Ruins.

With Qin Xuan's help, her Celestial God Clan would surely be able to obtain unprecedented Opportunity within the God Ruins!

Bringing a few dead weights along was fine.

Anyway, if they encountered danger in the God Ruins and were slapped to death, it would only be the demise of their spiritual bodies and would not affect their real physical bodies.

As long as she told Qin Xuan some of the rules of the God Ruins, she wasn't worried about these dead weights hindering Qin Xuan from competing for Opportunity or fighting on the king ranking!

Having obtained Qin Xuan's agreement, Luo Xianxian couldn't wait to rush back to the Celestial God Clan's territory to report this good news.

Qin Xuan cast a faint glance at Luo Xinyi and the other women who were leaving with her, and asked, "She is returning to the Celestial God Clan, do you all need to go too?"

Luo Xinyi clenched her small fists and said hatefully, "Of course not. I'm just feeling uncomfortable and want to go out and find a few aristocratic disciples who act as accomplices to tyranny to vent my anger!"

What she thought was what she thought; in the end, it was just her own assumption.

After all the fuss, even the Ziyang Empire was just a kingdom within ruins.

Not to mention her Luo family.

In the true Hongmeng Continent, they were probably no better than ants.

The shift in status made her extremely unhappy, and she needed to find two unlucky fellows to vent her frustration!

Su Youyu hung her little head and said, "I'm going to prepare. In case I go to the God Ruins and can't come back, at least I won't be completely unprepared."

Zhou Chen, however, was exceptionally excited and had an urgent anticipation for entering the God Ruins. He clenched his small fists and said, "I'm going to Cultivate!"

In the room, soon only Qin Xuan and Empress Zhou Wu remained.

Empress Zhou Wu glared at Qin Xuan with her brows tightly knit, and said with dissatisfaction, "His Highness the King of the Underworld is the future co-ruler of the Mingyue Dynasty, and he must not be allowed to suffer any mishaps."

"If Her Majesty the Empress finds out that you agreed to let him enter the God Ruins, she will definitely not let you off easily."

Qin Xuan stepped forward, pinched Empress Zhou Wu's slightly chubby cheek, and chuckled teasingly, "Are you worried about me?"

He sneered in his heart; even if Empress Mingyue found out, so what?

She could only sulk here, couldn't she?

Pinching the Empress's face, she could only endure it.

He stared at Empress Zhou Wu's tender, succulent lips, seemingly recalling some difficult matter, and sighed to himself, "Once I leave the Mingyue Dynasty, that strange aura within your body will no longer be suppressed. If I take you to the God Ruins, with your cultivation and means, you certainly won't be able to survive."

"If I could solve this once and for all and completely suppress that strange aura in your body, it would save me from having to worry about it again."

Empress Zhou Wu's beautiful eyes tightened, and she subconsciously stepped back, "What are you trying to do?"

Last night, she had already suffered a great loss.

It was shy and embarrassing.

Even she didn't want to recall that unbearable past.

However, she had to admit that this guy, Qin Xuan, possessed many strange qualities.

At the very least, that impurity could suppress the strange aura from further eroding her heart meridians.

This was also the reason why she hadn't slapped Qin Xuan to death in a fit of rage.

She would rather spend more time keeping things within the bounds of propriety with Qin Xuan than go any further and let him act recklessly.

If Qin Xuan wanted to solve it once and for all, didn't that mean he wanted to do something to her body?

"It's not as exaggerated as you think."

Qin Xuan shook his head with a smile and beckoned to Empress Zhou Wu. When she reluctantly approached despite her resistance, he leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words.

Before he finished speaking, Empress Zhou Wu stood up in terror, shaking her head in complete resistance, "No! Absolutely not! If the Palace Master finds out you are bullying me like this, she will never let you go, even if you are now the honored Duke of the Mingyue Dynasty!"

She turned her head and was about to leave, Qin Xuan's words echoing in her mind, her cheeks flushed as red as a brilliant sunset.

This guy, Qin Xuan, was utterly shameless.

He could even blurt out such despicable words!

The way he treated her last night was already more than she could bear.

Today, he actually dared to speak such wild words, asking her to absorb that impurity into her body to dissolve the erosion of the strange aura from within.

She was the noble Empress Mingyue, the supreme and most honorable existence in the Mingyue Dynasty.

How could she do such a shameless thing?

It's not up for discussion!

Don't even think about it!

Qin Xuan didn't pursue her. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and threatened with great interest, "I have already agreed to the Celestial God Clan's request and will head to the God Ruins in a few days. By then, even if your Palace Master of the Double-Pupil Palace wants to stop me, I'm afraid she won't be able to snatch me back from the Celestial God Clan."

"Not to mention that Empress Mingyue is currently trapped and cannot provide any help for the predicament you are in."

"Since you are so indifferent to your own body, it must mean that this strange aura cannot cause you any fatal impact."

Empress Zhou Wu's steps stopped abruptly, and her brows furrowed tightly.

How did Qin Xuan know she was trapped?

Could it be that her words and actions recently had exposed her true identity?

No, that wasn't right!

As soon as this thought arose, Empress Zhou Wu dismissed it.

The Soul she had swapped with Shangguan Ying using the three lives mirror—let alone Qin Xuan, even Great Emperor Ziyang, or even more terrifying existences within the God Ruins, could not discover any clues.

It was impossible to find any flaws in her.

Not to mention that within the Mingyue Imperial Palace now, many imperial Old Ancestors and fossilized experts were standing by in full force.

Let alone Qin Xuan, not even a fly could fly into the Fengqi Palace where Shangguan Ying was located!

"Her Majesty is in trouble?" Empress Zhou Wu turned back, feigning shock while pretending to be ignorant.

Qin Xuan shrugged indifferently, "Killing an Emperor with a flick of a finger, forcing back Great Emperor Ziyang in one move—with such heaven-shaking combat power, if there were no backlash, this continent would have long since only had the Mingyue Dynasty."

He didn't emphasize it further.

Saying too much would easily make Empress Zhou Wu feel that her identity was exposed.

In this way, with the addition of her status and position, it would be harder to get her to do some boundary-crossing acts if she couldn't let go of her dignity.

He only urged her obliquely, "At most three days, Luo Xianxian will rush back here from the Celestial God Clan. By then, Zhou Chen and the others and I will all go to the God Ruins together."

Empress Zhou Wu clenched her small fists tightly, stunned in place, motionless.

In her heart, she was caught in extreme conflict.

If Qin Xuan left, her body would likely have no hope of suppressing the backlash in the short term.

Great Emperor Ziyang was indeed forced back this time, but as Qin Xuan said, the combat power she revealed was too astonishing.

Even if the Ziyang Empire wouldn't engage in large-scale conflict, small-scale probing would be incessant.

Only with formidable strength could she avoid large-scale conflict and prevent the Mingyue Dynasty from turmoil.

More importantly, if she couldn't return to her Peak, even if she borrowed that energy now, there was a limit; it was impossible to contend with the Celestial God Clan.

It was even more impossible to forcibly keep Zhou Chen in the Mingyue Imperial City from the hands of the Celestial God Clan!

The God Ruins were full of crises; even she had no certainty, so how could she let Zhou Chen, who had been Sealed for so many years and still had the Heart-Nature of a young child, go there for training?

On one side was the dynasty her father had entrusted her to take care of, and on the other was her younger brother, whom her mother had repeatedly urged her to take good care of.

She would not allow any mistakes with either one.

She looked back at Qin Xuan, who had a wicked smile on his lips, and constantly comforted and persuaded herself in her heart.

"I am Shangguan Ying!"

"This is Shangguan Ying's body."

"Even if there are more intimate acts, it has nothing to do with my true self. As long as I erase this memory of Shangguan Ying afterwards, no matter how Qin Xuan fantasizes, he won't be able to implicate me."
