Chapter 1027: Imperial Qi
Although she was the "attacking" side, Ye Zhining was still keen to compare with Miss Luo Quan in terms of appearance and figure.
Before meeting Miss Luo Quan, she firmly believed that she was the most perfect female combination in the world.
Whether in terms of strength or appearance, she couldn't find any opponents, even the Saintess of the Dawn Church, she didn't think could pose a threat to her.
But when Miss Luo Quan appeared, Ye Zhining wavered.
It turned out that she was not the favorite favored by heaven, and there was beauty above beauty.
However, although she had already admitted in her heart that Miss Luo Quan was slightly better than herself, Ye Zhining still didn't want to let go of her mouth.
Her pride as an Empress made her unwilling to admit defeat to others, even if this person was her favorite consort.
However, facts speak louder than words. When Miss Luo Quan took off her silk stockings and put her white jade-like long legs on the bed, Ye Zhining knew that she had lost too much to her.
"Heh, is it great to have good-looking legs?" Ye Zhining pouted sourly, and then grabbed a handful of Miss Luo Quan's plump thighs in revenge.
The snow-white and soft thigh meat overflowed from Ye Zhining's fingers. When she let go, five bright red finger marks appeared on Miss Luo Quan's thighs.
Miss Luo Quan also showed no weakness, directly pulled Xiao Yu's claws, and printed a "Miss Luo Quan's Treasure" on the side of Ye Zhining's thigh.
"What is this!" Ye Zhining's eyes widened, her tone very surprised. 【1027
"Haha, this is a mark I left for Your Majesty, isn't it pretty?" Miss Luo Quan laughed with a mischievous sense of humor.
She is not someone who is willing to suffer a loss; if you leave a fingerprint on me, I will stamp you in return.
As for whether she will face more serious retaliation later, that is something to consider later.
"That is not what I meant." Ye Zhining's focus was not on the four words "Miss Luo Quan's Treasure," but rather she was more curious about how these four words were printed on her.
With her cultivation, although she has not yet reached the point of being impervious to all methods, she shouldn't be stamped by a cat, right?
Also, why can a cat's paw print out words?
"What breed is this cat of yours? Its paw can stamp, and it can even ignore my protective Qi; it's simply inconceivable." Ye Zhining stopped bickering with Miss Luo Quan at this moment and instead reached out to lift Xiao Yu up for a closer look.
"Actually, Xiao Yu isn't a cat; her true form is a jade seal."
Miss Luo Quan stroked Xiao Yu's head, and after a flash of golden light, the latter returned to her original form.
The reason she didn't hide it was that Da Hei and Xiao Yu would sooner or later have to take the stage to assist in the Martial God trial's arena matches, so there was no need to deliberately hide it from Ye Zhining.
"What an amazing disguise; I didn't even notice it at first."
Ye Zhining played with the Imperial Jade Seal, feeling more amazed the deeper she understood it.
In the Universe, treasures that can shapeshift like this are not uncommon.
The Immortal Book says:
Human-made things are demons, things with nature and spirit are essences, and human souls that do not dissipate are ghosts. When the world's Qi is discordant, strange things appear; when spirits are not upright, they are evil; when human hearts are confused, they are devils; and those who lean toward heresy are outsiders.
The Universe is full of spiritual energy, and inanimate objects can develop intelligence after being influenced for a long time, turning into essences and monsters.
However, ordinary essences cannot break through her protective Qi, so this must be a jade seal that has attained the Dao.
And jade seals are usually unique to the imperial family, gathering the national destiny of a dynasty and possessing supreme luck.
The luck contained in this one before her must surely span more than one dynasty, and all of them were incredibly prosperous and powerful nations.
This explains why it could leave a mark on her; after all, she herself achieved her supreme cultivation by absorbing the national destiny of the Saint Tang Heavenly Dynasty.
The two powers come from the same source, so her protective Qi did not repel it.
Of course, Ye Zhining still wiped the stamp off her leg.
It has always been her stamping others; no one has ever been able to stamp her. Her beloved concubine's thoughts are truly very bad.
Glancing at Miss Luo Quan's smooth legs, Ye Zhining ultimately gave up the idea of leaving a stamp.
Although doing so would certainly be exciting, it would also destroy her natural, perfect aesthetic.
Rather than leaving her own mark, it is better to let her maintain her original appearance.
"My beloved concubine's treasure is truly extraordinary; it would be considered very rare even in the Universe." Ye Zhining praised, also trying to stroke Xiao Yu, who had turned back into a cat.
Xiao Yu, who had always been very resistant to being touched by others, was surprisingly obedient this time, perhaps because the imperial luck on Ye Zhining made it feel a sense of intimacy.
"That's for sure, Xiao Yu is a top-tier divine artifact in our country; you can't find many things in thousands of years of history that can compare to it," Miss Luo Quan said with a proud face.
Hearing her master's praise, Xiao Yu also "meowed" and pounced into Miss Luo Quan's arms.
Ye Zhining nodded gently, but as if remembering something, she asked doubtfully: "That's not right. Treasures that represent national destiny cannot be borne by the fate of ordinary people.
The vessel of an emperor, if obtained by someone who is not an emperor, will surely bring disaster; if one's virtue does not match their position, they will be devoured by it. Could it be that your true identity is an emperor?"
"How is that possible?" Miss Luo Quan laughed, "The profession of emperor has disappeared in our country for over a hundred years, and there won't be any more in the future. Now, the people are the masters."
"What do you mean?" Ye Zhining grew up in a semi-feudal, semi-capitalist society and did not understand the meaning of Miss Luo Quan's words.
"It means everyone is equal," Miss Luo Quan replied.
"Nonsense, only children believe in the silly talk of everyone being equal. If everyone were truly completely equal, would there be any meaning to striving?"
Ye Zhining's words left Miss Luo Quan speechless; when the other party's argument is impeccable, she can only be left without a response.
"We can talk about the topic of equality later. I am now curious about what your true identity is. Are you sure you aren't the emperor here?" Ye Zhining asked again.
"Uh... if you insist on saying so, it's not entirely unrelated to being an emperor." This time, Miss Luo Quan's tone was not as firm as before.
Although her maternal grandfather's ancestors were three generations of poor peasants and their background couldn't be cleaner, her father's family was at the top level in both feudal and capitalist societies.
It was just that the British revolution wasn't as intense as the French one; otherwise, they would likely have been on the guillotine.
"My father's family is very close to a foreign royal family and is considered a collateral branch, so I suppose I do have some royal blood."
Miss Luo Quan wasn't very sure about saying this.
It wasn't that she doubted the royal blood, but rather she doubted whether foreign royal blood could work on a Chinese divine artifact.
"Having royal blood alone is not enough; one must have the appearance of an emperor to be qualified to be favored by an imperial vessel." Ye Zhining's doubts did not decrease much.
"Then how do you know if you have the appearance of an emperor?" Miss Luo Quan became curious upon hearing this; did it mean she had the potential to be an emperor?
"Hehe, whether you have the potential or not, I will know with a touch." Ye Zhining laughed with ill intent, looking like she wanted to give Miss Luo Quan a physical examination.
Seeing this, Miss Luo Quan felt a tightening in her gut: "Touching again? You touched my legs last time, where do you plan to touch this time?"
"Beloved concubine, don't be nervous. I'm not some lecher; why would I be thinking about taking advantage of you all the time?"
Ye Zhining said, holding Miss Luo Quan's face in her hands, looking affectionate: "How beautiful, holy yet charming, as if the stars are shining in your eyes."
"Thanks for the compliment," Miss Luo Quan said expressionlessly.
She had heard too many compliments of this level; if there were something more sophisticated, she might have been moved.
For example: I have turned the whole world upside down, just to straighten your reflection.
Cheesy as it was, it did sound comfortable.
Of course, in this era of restless hearts, any eloquent praise is not as direct to the heart as a "Damn," and no exquisite adjective is as straightforward as "Awesome."
For example, when she wore black silk just now, the most common thing in the barrage was "Damn, Luo Bao is awesome!"
As for where the comma is placed or how to break the sentence, it depends on the fans' mood.
"Haha, it seems my beloved concubine is very dissatisfied with my poor level of praise."
Ye Zhining continued to hold Miss Luo Quan's face and laughed: "But that's just how I am; I'm not good at speaking, but I'm better at doing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Luo Quan felt her cheeks become warm; Ye Zhining's hands were like a pair of hand warmers, making her whole head feel hot.
However, this warmth only lasted for about ten seconds before disappearing after Ye Zhining let go.
"My beloved concubine does indeed have the appearance of an emperor, but this imperial appearance was caused by acquired reasons and is quite rare; I can't quite pinpoint the reason yet."
Ye Zhining's answer made Miss Luo Quan scratch her head, then she beckoned to the two pets and took out the British Queen's crown.
The Imperial Jade Seal, Excalibur, and the British Crown were lined up on the bed. Miss Luo Quan looked at Ye Zhining and asked: "Could it be because of them?"
"Is your family into collecting?" Ye Zhining asked, clicking her tongue in wonder as she looked at these imperial vessels with such powerful auras.
Miss Luo Quan shook her head: "No, my grandparents and mother are all ordinary people, but my grandfather is in real estate."
Ye Zhining laughed: "That's truly interesting. So many imperial vessels have actually been obtained by you alone, and they've even forcibly created an acquired imperial appearance for you. This luck is really not ordinary."
"You're right about that. My fans say I have good luck and praise me as a koi fish, meaning I can bring good luck to myself and the people around me."
Miss Luo Quan's smile was very proud; after all, having maxed-out luck is indeed something to be proud of.
"What a pity." Ye Zhining sighed regretfully, "If it is true as you say that your country will no longer have an emperor, then this imperial appearance has no great use, other than making your luck a little better."
"So it's useless after all that," Miss Luo Quan said, speechless.
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Zhining's lips curled up, "Imperial luck is never fake. If you practice the ancestral cultivation technique of my Saint Tang Heavenly Dynasty, your cultivation will surely soar!"
"Really!"
Miss Luo Quan's eyes turned into little stars, but she quickly calmed down: "There is no free lunch in the world, so what is the price?"
Ye Zhining smiled slightly: "There are indeed conditions, but it is not difficult for you to fulfill them.
This technique is ancestral to my imperial family and is passed down internally, not externally. If you are willing to become a member of my Ye family, you won't be an outsider, and of course, you can practice this technique.
So, as long as you say the word, I can immediately pass the technique to you."
"And then go back to the Universe to arrange the wedding, right?" Miss Luo Quan interrupted directly, "You think quite beautifully."
Ye Zhining patted Miss Luo Quan on the shoulder: "You can't say it like that. After all, you already promised me, so it's just a matter of time."
"Even if it's a matter of time, it will have to wait until decades later." Miss Luo Quan's tone was very stubborn.
"Since that's the case, I won't force it. Martial arts cultivation doesn't need to be rushed for ten or twenty years; it won't be too late to practice after you agree."
Ye Zhining appeared very carefree and didn't mind Miss Luo Quan's refusal at all.
After all, in her view, Miss Luo Quan was already in her grasp and couldn't escape anyway, so it didn't matter if it was a little earlier or later.
This was indeed the case; Miss Luo Quan's current strength could not completely dominate her own destiny, but it would be hard to say after a dozen years.
In short, Miss Luo Quan learned a new concept from Ye Zhining: the appearance of an emperor.
If it were in ancient times, she might really have had the possibility of being an emperor.
But now, forget it. Expecting to ascend the throne in China is less reliable than expecting the Queen to designate her as her successor before she passes away.
But if the Queen were to really do that, the Crown Prince party, including Prince Charles, would definitely not agree.
He has been the Crown Prince for decades, staring at the British throne until his eyes turned green. Seeing that he is at an age where one foot is already in the coffin, how could he let it go to a collateral girl after finally having a chance?
Not to mention that this girl is not even British; even if the Queen agreed, the government would not.
Therefore, the above can just be fantasized in one's own mind; there is no possibility of it coming true.
At night, Miss Luo Quan went to sleep alone.
Because Ye Zhining had already slept with her last night, there was no reason to continue lingering in bed tonight, so she had to honestly return to her own room.
However, in the middle of the night, Miss Luo Quan felt as if there was another person in her bed.
Waking up in a start, she discovered that Ye Zhining was sleeping beside her.
"Why did you come over?" Miss Luo Quan shook Ye Zhining awake.
"I'm not used to the bed and pillow in the room; it's more comfortable here with you." Ye Zhining rubbed her eyes, pretending to be very sleepy.
Miss Luo Quan looked at her speechlessly: "The pillows and beds in the whole house are the same style."
"Oh, don't dwell on this problem. We have to take a plane tomorrow, so hurry up and rest, be good." Ye Zhining said, covering Miss Luo Quan's eyes, then closed her own eyes and started sleeping soundly.
"I really give up on you." Miss Luo Quan looked at the somewhat childish Empress with a mix of laughter and tears, but ultimately did not kick her out of bed.
