Chapter 149: The Empress Plan
Chapter 149: The Empress Plan
Whats wrong?
Inside the room, the young girl in an imperial robe raised her eyes slightly and looked at the young man who had just stood up with a puzzled expression.
Her right hand, which had already turned over, suddenly paused, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
In the face of the Empresss evident confusion, Luo Wusheng quickly realized his own lapse.
Its nothing I just suddenly learned of some changes
He said this, but he couldnt suppress the swirling thoughts in his mind.
The bald carriage driver that imposing presence had reappeared in his sight just five days after their last encounter. Unlike the previous times when the man had silently appeared and disappeared, this time, the guy had made a decisive move.
Although he had only glimpsed the scene created by the activated rune in his mind, the bald carriage driver had demonstrated abilities at least at the Nascent Soul level.
What is he trying to do?
Had Yue Xuanji already figured out what was happening? What plans did that eerie and whimsical loli have?
Perhaps the goal was to inform him that Bai Xiaoyao was on her way to the Wandering Immortal Inn
As he watched the new empty room thread that appeared in his mind, Luo Wusheng quickly realized the significance of this rune.
It seems that white-haired loli had indeed been preparing for his reception of Bai Xiaoyao.
It was hard to understand what kind of thinking a girl who can see the future and love to manipulate things behind the back has.
Did all these women need to converge at the Wandering Immortal Inn for his so-called good fortune to be activated?
To be honest, if it were just this group of girls that would gather, it wouldnt be a big deal for Luo Wusheng.
Well, it might be a bit complicated when the little fox demon empress and the Empress met, but the demon empress was no fool. If she had to appear in public, she would surely have concealed all her demonic features. Even the Empress shouldnt be able to spot any flaws.
As long as Yue Xuanji didnt continue to stir up trouble, the situation with the Star-Moon Jade should remain undisclosed
The problem lay with Little Yuli
Luo Wusheng sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, that girl was still asleep, or her condition that made into a stupid girl would definitely cause more chaos.
By now, he had calmed down a bit.
The matter of the bald carriage driver could be put on hold for now. He needed to stabilize the current situation.
He didnt know if the scenes that appeared in his mind were unfolding at this moment, but even if they had just occurred, Bai Xiaoyao could arrive at any moment.
Regardless of what his good fortune was, he couldnt let it become a misfortune.
Just as he was thinking about this, the Empress across from him lightly tapped the desk.
With a soft thud, Luo Wusheng collected his thoughts and looked at the Empress, who had shown a slightly serene smile.
Luo Wusheng, have you encountered any difficulties? Feel free to speak with me. Perhaps I can offer some assistance.
Her fingers moved lightly on the table, and her regal self-confidence and demeanor were on full display.
The Empress believed that she could handle most matters within the capital, and she was willing to provide assistance to Luo Wusheng, the Demon Sects Holy Saint, to further cement their relationship. However, she was curious about how he had suddenly received information about the incident he talked about. Even with her Nascent Soul-stage cultivation, she hadnt sensed any communication or disturbance from him.
Hes more skilled than I thought
As the Empress pondered this, Luo Wushengs expression displayed a subtle twitch. He was hoping she would leave for now and return at a more suitable time. He had matters to attend to as the head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, and he wanted to delay her visit until later.
Unfortunately, the young girl sitting across from him had different intentions.
In that case, Lord Luo, go ahead and attend to your duties. I have some time today and will wait here. If you return late, I will come looking for you another time.
Luo Wushengs face exhibited a slight stiffness. It seemed that this Empress had no sense of urgency.
In the end, Luo Wusheng decided to excuse himself and leave the room.
Inside the room, the Empress watched the young mans figure disappear as the door closed. She let out a sigh.
Why did this happen at such a crucial time?
The Empresss eyes reflected her thoughts. She pulled up her left sleeve, revealing the Star-Moon jade bracelet.
Seeing the bracelet, she raised her hand and, immediately, a peculiar stone appeared in her palm.
The stone was roughly the size of a palm, mostly covered in gray layers, but the side facing up was as translucent as amber, displaying a faint golden color. Through that faint golden hue, a dragon-shaped shadow seemed to flicker within the stone.
If Luo Wusheng were present, he would recognize this stone as the rare gem he had been planning to obtain after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
The Dragon Fortune Stone.
A rare gem born from a countrys dragon fortune. The one in the Empresss hand had been produced from her own nations dragon fortune.
Since my body has not reacted to the refinement of the dragon fortune, I was planning to use this to test it
The Empress had a clear purpose when she visited Luo Wusheng today.
She had come prepared.
If the disturbance had indeed been caused by Luo Wusheng, then this gem, which reacted to dragon fortune, might exhibit some changes when near him. She had been ready to give it to the Demon Sects Holy Saint as a gift. Although the Dragon Fortune Stone was rare and only formed when a countrys dragon fortune was gathered, it didnt have any particular uses other than its slight connection to dragon fortune. For the Empress, it was merely a unique collectible.
Presenting it to a Demon Sects Holy Saint who had a penchant for collecting rare stones and taking the opportunity to thank him for his assistance in dealing with the demons seemed like a good idea. It could also help her learn if his presence was related to the dragon fortune disturbance.
It was a win-win situation.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred just at this moment. The Empress narrowed her phoenix-like eyes. Memories began to combine and synchronize.
Earlier, she had used the One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones technique to send the information about the ongoing situation here to her other incarnations, and now, her mortal incarnation, Kirin, who had received relevant information, started uploading the corresponding information.
Demon Sect disciples clashed with the Green Province Martial Alliance, but there seems to be a cultivator who appears to be in the Nascent Soul stage suddenly involving himself in the battle
The Empress furrowed her brows.
