Chapter 395: Empress Zhou Wu Visits

Mingyue Imperial City, Wutong Palace.

Empress Zhou Wu did not know what was wrong, but for no reason, a nameless fire rose in her heart. She flipped all the memorials on the desk in front of her to the ground and roared angrily, "There's not enough Origin Stones here, there's not enough Origin Stones there!"

"This matter can't be done, that matter can't be done!"

"Could it be that the treasury of my Mingyue Dynasty has been hollowed out? Could it be that without Ning Waner to handle things, my Mingyue Dynasty is going to collapse!?"

Over the past half month, those officials either requested Origin Stones from the treasury or asked for Ning Waner to come forward and preside over the overall situation.

How could she not be angry?

Ning Waner was no longer in the Mingyue Dynasty at this time.

Who knows how happy she is, staying in the Yaochi Sacred Land, being lovey-dovey with Qin Xuan!

Thinking of the pillars of Mingyue who went to Yaochi together, only for her to return as a lonely person, how could she not be angry?

Coincidentally, the constant reminders from the ministers under her nose made her anger even more uncontrollable.

"Your Majesty."

General Gu You knelt before the desk and said distressedly, "The imperial treasury has long been empty due to the recent renovations of the Imperial City."

"At this time, if we want to patch the loopholes in my Mingyue Dynasty, I am afraid we can only go to Yaochi and ask Qin Xuan to take action."

"The Ziyang Empire has collapsed, and the Yaochi Sacred Land has obtained countless resources. Even my Mingyue Imperial City cannot compare to the foundations of the Ziyang Empire. As long as Young Master Qin is willing to take action, all the problems of my Mingyue Dynasty will be solved."

"And there is also Waner. As long as Young Master Qin returns, Waner will surely follow. Many things are being handled by Waner. With her arranging matters, all troubles will be resolved without attack!"

Empress Zhou Wu glared at General Gu You below and said in a rage, "Could it be that without Qin Xuan, my Mingyue Dynasty is going to collapse!?"

"My Mingyue Dynasty has stood for ten thousand years. In the past, Qin Xuan had not yet appeared, and wasn't my Mingyue Dynasty still prosperous to this day!?"

General Gu You bowed her head, "Your Majesty, today is different from the past."

"General Gu You, you have such great courage!"

Linglong, who was on the side, couldn't bear it any longer and also knelt beside General Gu You, pleading, "Your Majesty, General Gu You speaks no falsehoods. This world has already changed. Even the Ziyang Empire, which was older than my Mingyue Dynasty, has collapsed."

"Even the high and mighty Celestial God Clan, who could stay out of everything, have become the most loyal supporters of Young Master Qin."

"The current situation is: whoever obtains Young Master Qin, obtains the world!"

Empress Zhou Wu's chest heaved violently with anger.

She even felt that the hurt she received from Qin Xuan half a month ago was still faintly aching.

She clenched her fists, bit her teeth, and roared, "Continue!"

General Gu You said without fear of death, "Your Majesty, perhaps you feel that Young Master Qin has some friendship with you and can protect the Mingyue Dynasty. However, have you ever thought about who will rule the Ziyang Empire when it collapses?"

Empress Zhou Wu replied without hesitation, "The Holy Master of Yaochi, Saintess Yao Yao?"

She didn't need to think to know that Saintess Yao Yao was the best candidate, and because she had taught her the 'Phoenix Treasure Technique', she was deeply valued by him.

General Gu You nodded, "It is indeed the Holy Master of Yaochi. Although the Holy Master of Yaochi has no grievances with Your Majesty in the past or today, once she unifies the Ziyang Empire, the frictions that occur in the border areas might be fine once or twice, but over time, as they happen more often, resentment will naturally accumulate deeper and deeper."

"The Mingyue Dynasty and the Ziyang Empire were like this back then."

"The current Your Majesty is indeed stronger than the Holy Master of Yaochi, but what about in the future? You must know that Young Master Qin is currently in the Yaochi Sacred Land."

"Young Master Qin is fond of beauty, Your Majesty knows this well. And that Holy Master of Yaochi, Saintess Yao Yao, not only has the Face of a disaster but is also a Natural Charm Physique. May I ask, what man in this world can resist the temptation of a Natural Charm Physique?"

"Saintess Yao Yao only needs to get some treasures from Young Master Qin to catch up to, or even surpass, Your Majesty now."

"When Young Master Qin leaves this world, and the Mingyue Imperial City and the skin-changed Ziyang Empire have intensified friction again, how can Your Majesty withstand the persecution of the Holy Master of Yaochi?"

"By then, the Mingyue Dynasty will be destroyed. Even if Young Master Qin returns, Saintess Yao Yao can completely rely on her Natural Charm Physique to make Young Master Qin not care!"

"Your Majesty, the accumulation of tens of thousands of years by the ancestors of the Mingyue Dynasty cannot be destroyed in the hands of Your Majesty and us ministers today!"

The heartfelt words of General Gu You and Linglong were sonorous and powerful.

Hearing this, Empress Zhou Wu felt a wave of fear in her heart and collapsed weakly on the dragon chair.

Her palm gripped the dragon head tightly, and suddenly she realized that this strength was exactly the same as when Qin Xuan gripped her, and she released her grip in exhaustion.

"According to what you say, what should be done?"

Empress Zhou Wu's tone was much weaker.

She also realized that the concerns of General Gu You and Linglong were not false.

General Gu You and Linglong looked at each other, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said loudly, "Please, Your Majesty, go to the Yaochi Sacred Land!", "Please, Your Majesty, take back Young Master Qin from the Holy Master of Yaochi!", "At this moment, the only one who can save my Mingyue is Your Majesty!", "Please, Your Majesty, come forward and save my Mingyue!"

Empress Zhou Wu clenched her small fists, trembling all over, and said in a deep voice, "According to your words, today you want me to feed the tiger with my own body!", "You want me, with the imperial body of Mingyue, to serve that Qin Xuan!?"

General Gu You and Linglong did not answer, just kept kowtowing.

Their Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation shattered the jade floor of Wutong Palace, yet they had no intention of stopping.

Empress Zhou Wu collapsed on the dragon chair, unprecedentedly decadent.

Could it be that she really had to go and actively look for Qin Xuan, as General Gu You and Linglong said?

When she returned to the Mingyue Dynasty, she hadn't even held a grudge against Qin Xuan for the past, and even took action to help him save Yaochi together.

Didn't that show that she had already defaulted to everything that happened in the past?

How could she not know what General Gu You and Linglong were saying?

She had already given Qin Xuan a step down.

As long as Qin Xuan came to the Mingyue Dynasty to find her.

Everything could be solved naturally.

Now Qin Xuan was having such a good time in the Yaochi Sacred Land, yet he wanted her to take the initiative to visit.

Travel thousands of miles to offer herself?

If the ancestors of her Mingyue Dynasty knew that their current Empress had fallen to this point, how could they rest in peace!?

"Get out."

Empress Zhou Wu waved her hand and dismissed General Gu You and Linglong.

After the Wutong Palace became quiet, Empress Zhou Wu smashed the desk in front of her with one palm, lowered her voice, and roared, "Qin Xuan, you are going too far!", "I gave you enough steps!", "I gave you enough Face!", "Could it be that you don't want to leave me any Face at all?", "Even if you are stronger, can't you, in private, bow your head in front of me?", "When did I ever want you to do it in public? Even if you just said a soft word!", "But you, simply, humiliated me to the bone!!!"

Inside the Yaochi Sacred Land, how could Qin Xuan care about Empress Zhou Wu?

She had long been thrown to the back of his mind.

At this moment, he was completely and thoroughly immersed in the Natural Charm Physique.

Moreover, through constant practice, he discovered a deeper level of development for the Chaos Hongmeng Body.

When he restrained the Natural Charm Physique, Saintess Yao Yao was overwhelmed with shame, covering her Face with her hands, blushing, and didn't even dare to look at him.

But when he activated the Natural Charm Physique, tsk tsk, how could one describe it with just the word 'moist'?

For several consecutive days, Qin Xuan stayed in the mansion, not going out.

He didn't go anywhere, didn't see anyone.

Just like breaking through in seclusion, he was constantly breaking through the inner defenses of Saintess Yao Yao.

After five full days and nights, that night, there was a knock on the door of the mansion again.

Saintess Yao Yao's palm was tightly clasped with Qin Xuan's fingers. With the Natural Charm Physique restrained, she was still that high and mighty, cold and arrogant Holy Master of Yaochi.

She said softly with flushed cheeks, "It is the aura of Empress Zhou Wu, coming from thousands of miles away. Perhaps something has happened to the Mingyue Dynasty."

Qin Xuan was indifferent, "The Mingyue Dynasty is not the Yaochi Sacred Land. I am not worried, what are you worried about?"

Saintess Yao Yao shook her head, "Regardless, Empress Zhou Wu helped my Yaochi Sacred Land this time. When she is in trouble, my Yaochi should help, and even more so, cannot ignore her urgent request."

Qin Xuan gently pinched her Face, which seemed to be able to drip water, and said, "You are really loyal."

"But I am tired. If there is anything, you talk to her."

Saintess Yao Yao nodded, "Okay!"

She got up, poof —

Raising her hand, she draped her golden holy robe over her flawless beautiful body, and Saintess Yao Yao walked gracefully towards the door.
