Chapter 423: The Female Emperor's Arrangement

They rested for one night in the Wang Cheng mansion.

Jiang Li took out a blue pill but wore a strange expression.

Beside him lay the sleeping Long Long Lisha.

"This is truly absurd!"

He had originally thought the Bone Castle was not on the main hidden quest line, merely a cutscene.

Who would have known—when Dangjiang Li and Transcendent Xiao Li arrived at Wang Cheng, the system actually issued a prompt.

【Prompt: Class-switcher Jiang Li obtains an enhanced version, the Man Pill!!!】

【Effect: Elevates a man's capabilities to their peak, surpassing all!!】

Jiang Li truly did not know why the system would give Jiang Li such a pill, and furthermore prompt that it was an important quest item.

"Damn, this is really strange."

As soon as dawn broke, Jiang Li began studying it, but he still could not figure out what it was for.

"What exactly does it do?"

Jiang Li would not think such a thing could be used casually on a woman...

Then what on earth is its use?

"Jiang Li, Long Long Lisha, time to eat!"

Transcendent Xiao Li's calling voice came from outside.

Jiang Li directly patted Long Long Lisha's buttocks as she turned over, then stood up, got dressed, and went out the door.

On a square table in the small courtyard were placed four or five home-style dishes, all dishes not found in the Land World.

Jiang Li sat in the main seat.

After waiting a while, the group took their seats.

Because of Transcendent Xiao Li, the group did not discuss the Crown Prince's ascension.

Lance did not even know why Jiang Li had pulled a Miss back from the Demon Human World.

But through just a few hours of understanding, Lance's view of the Demon Human World had changed.

After arriving in this world, Transcendent Xiao Li seemed to have become a different person, becoming very diligent, and her aloof personality completely vanished, fully casting herself in the role of a maid.

She treated Jiang Li and Long Long Lisha as a couple, and also served them as the masters of the mansion!

The group had just about to begin their meal.

When someone from the palace arrived to deliver an edict, which made Jiang Li very surprised.

And the content of the edict made Jiang Li even more nervous.

Because the most authoritative Imperial Consort of the court was summoning all the testers for a personal reward.

Lance did not understand, and even thought the Imperial Consort had discovered Jiang Li's identity.

And Jiang Li also pondered carefully for a moment.

"If no one knows that I purified those people inside the Bone Castle, then the Imperial Consort must believe these people are her confidants! And more than half of these testers are sons of officials within Wang Cheng, so the stakes are huge..."

"Now that I have received the Imperial Consort's summons, then this Imperial Consort probably has some connection to the Dark Abyss, which is why she is gathering us!"

"Transcendent Xiao Li—you step back first! I have something to say!" Jiang Li said.

Although Transcendent Xiao Li was unwilling, she still stepped back.

Lance set up a barrier.

When Lance learned of Jiang Li's arrangements in the Bone Castle, he was immediately amazed, regarding it as an opportunity.

The three analyzed for a while longer, then Jiang Li set out directly, leaving the mansion to go to the palace.

Now the entire Land Kingdom is controlled by the Imperial Consort, and she handles state affairs on a daily basis.

"Such a woman, if not viewed from the opposing side, is absolutely a heroine among women, even a figure like a Female Emperor!"

As long as in Jiang Li's view, after the disappearance of the Second Generation of Land, the Imperial Consort governed the entire Land in perfect order without a single mishap; this is actually a skill.

Arriving at the palace gate, he indeed saw the hundred-plus testers from the Bone Castle, not one missing, all here.

"To the Imperial Consort, we people may have become absolute confidants!"

"She does not know my true identity; in this way, the other party might reveal all their plans outright, and in that case, I will be able to counter water with earth and arrange everything accordingly!"

Yet everything seemed to go smoothly, and Jiang Li inexplicably felt some panic!

Yes, it was too smooth; from the group's arrival at Wang Cheng until now, everything they experienced was too smooth.

Jiang Li felt there must be a problem or a flaw somewhere; if it failed once, the result would be something Jiang Li could not bear.

Not only would his dungeon hidden skill quest fail, but Lance, Long Long Lisha, and everyone connected to Jiang Li might all die.

The Imperial Consort was not merely an Imperial Consort; she was a figure like a Female Emperor, but if there were any flaw, Jiang Li could not think of one.

If there were a flaw, the only flaw was that it was too smooth; everything was too smooth.

Following the crowd into the palace, he had no mind to appreciate the scenery.

Arriving at the palace hall, beside the golden throne on the hall stood a phoenix throne inlaid with gems; the Imperial Consort had not yet arrived, but dancing girls had already come onto the hall to dance.

These women, each one as beautiful as a fairy.

When they danced, they displayed their figures to the extreme, capable of awakening the primal beast roar in men.

Next, servants brought up large quantities of spirit stones.

Spirit stones.

In a normal human world, cultivating any martial art only required a skill manual; as long as one had enough money, one could buy high-level skill manuals and learn them directly.

But the Land Kingdom still maintained that learning any martial art required hard training; when cultivating martial arts, one needed large quantities of spirit stones as assistance to progress rapidly; if one relied solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be too slow.

Jiang Li directly stored all the spirit stones away.

The others followed suit.

After a while, a eunuch outside announced, "Her Imperial Consort Xiao arrives."

Everyone's hearts tightened.

Before the Phoenix Throne, palace maids immediately drew beaded curtains to enclose the area.

It was a rule of many years that those of the rear palace could not see the ministers of the main hall.

"Without me, this Imperial Consort Xiao might truly have become an Empress!"

After a while, they saw a red-haired woman seated on the throne.

Because of the beaded curtains and a mysterious force blocking the view, Jiang Li could only make out the general shape; he merely saw that Imperial Consort Xiao had red hair.
