Chapter 308: The sleeping beauty and the handsome

"What is your name?"

Li Chen asked the palace-attired beautiful woman sitting beside him.

Originally, Li Chen intended to use the "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture" to directly modify her memory, but during this process, he found that she was actually quite cooperative, so he just asked like that.

"This slave's name is Zhuo Shishi."

The palace-attired beautiful woman said aggrievedly; it looked like her age before sleeping shouldn't have been very old.

"How did you end up here? Are you very familiar with this place?"

Hearing Li Chen's inquiry, the beautiful woman Zhuo Shishi began to tell her story.

Before the Long Di passed on the throne, he began to prepare for his "burial."

Scraping the wealth and resources of the world was just the first step, and then it was to reserve powerful military force to ensure that after he woke up, he could maintain absolute rule.

Finally, by the way, scrape some beauties.

Zhuo Shishi was originally a woman of the Zhuo family, a cultivation clan in Qinghe City; because her appearance was excellent, she was valued by the Long Di and forcibly summoned into the palace.

Other women entering the palace could be considered going to enjoy glory and wealth, but she entered the palace just to be buried?

Even if it was just sleeping, this was no different from being buried.

When she came to this tomb, she even had the heart to die.

This was also why, when Li Chen let her revive, she didn't resist.

She and the Long Di could be said to have no feelings at all, and even had a certain amount of resentment.

It was just that the Long Di suppressed an era at that time, and she didn't dare to say anything, fearing that her family would be implicated.

Offending the emperor meant having one's nine clans executed.

When she woke up and saw such a handsome man before her, her mood actually wasn't bad.

It was like the sleeping beauty being kissed awake by a handsome, tall, and dashing prince—the sleeping beauty would also fall in love at first sight.

If it were replaced by an ugly one, the sleeping beauty could only express gratitude.

Perhaps she had slept for over a thousand years, but Zhuo Shishi's feeling was as if she had come to this place at night, slept, and now woke up the next day—there was no big difference, and she had no concept of time.

The reason she said this to Li Chen was actually that she hoped in her heart that this handsome and extraordinary person could save her from the sea of fire; if that could really happen, she would even offer herself, as long as the other side didn't mind.

But she also knew the Long Di's strength, so for this kind of thing, it was just a wishful thought.

After listening, Li Chen asked suspiciously: "Who is the Long Di?"

Wu Nanzhi beside him also didn't know; the successive emperors of the May Tian Ce Dynasty didn't style themselves as Long Di.

Regarding the history of the continent, neither of them was very good.

When Li Chen was an imperial prince, he would doze off when hearing these things, and Wu Nanzhi hadn't learned them at all.

Zhuo Shishi blinked her big eyes and continued to explain: "The Long Di is the 9th emperor of our Great Yuan Dynasty. Don't you know? What generation of emperor is it now?"

Hearing that it was the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Li Chen felt much more relieved.

The little guilt he originally had vanished, and he was even a little happy.

He didn't expect that this was actually the tomb of the emperor of the previous dynasty.

Wu Nanzhi beside him also reacted quickly and immediately followed: "Sister, you have slept for too long. The Great Yuan Dynasty was already overthrown over a thousand years ago; now it is the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and the person beside you is the emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty."

Originally, Wu Nanzhi was used to calling them "younger sister"—there was no help for it; she entered the palace relatively early and could call many consorts "younger sister." However, considering the other party might be a figure from a thousand years ago, she simply called her "sister."

Hearing Wu Nanzhi's explanation, Zhuo Shishi stared at Li Chen with wide eyes.

Perhaps she never expected that after sleeping, over a thousand years had already passed, and the person before her was still the current emperor?

Zhuo Shishi roughly understood the current situation from Wu Nanzhi and asked suspiciously: "Since you are not people of the Yuan clan, why would you appear here? This place is very dangerous."

Li Chen explained casually: "I obtained a treasure map, and the treasure map didn't write whose tomb it was, so I just followed it here."

This was Li Chen's habitual excuse; sometimes Wu Nanzhi would ask, but other women hadn't gone out exploring with him.

Since he was the Long Di who suppressed an era, the Long Di's cultivation base certainly wouldn't be low.

According to what Zhuo Shishi said, the Long Di was in a state of sleeping and hadn't died, and there was a possibility of waking up, but her status in the harem was very low, and she didn't know how the Long Di could wake up, or even where the Long Di was sleeping.

She was just a pitiful burial object.

After hearing her say this, Li Chen also comforted her for a while.

The two of them started to become familiar like this.

Perhaps others couldn't perceive it, but Wu Nanzhi beside him could feel that Li Chen's temperament and appearance were truly very attractive to these confused women.

There was no help for it; if Li Chen were an ordinary person, even if he were handsome, so what?

To put it bluntly, even if Zhuo Shishi were a burial object, she was still an Imperial Consort.

But Li Chen was an emperor, so it was different. Zhuo Shishi felt that if she relied on Li Chen, she would also be an Imperial Consort—wouldn't it be better to follow an emperor she liked?

If it were replaced by someone else, Zhuo Shishi would definitely tell him to leave quickly and say: The Long Di is not someone you can afford to provoke.

Now Zhuo Shishi told Li Chen the situation and waited to see how Li Chen would handle it.

Even if the Long Di was an emperor who suppressed an era, so what? Li Chen was equal in both strength and status, and was someone who could match and PK, someone who could be ranked together.

While Li Chen was thinking, Wu Nanzhi analyzed: "Your Majesty, why don't we take advantage of the Long Di not waking up and directly solve him? Wouldn't that be once and for all? And the wealth here is enough for us to enrich the national treasury."

If low-level cultivators came here, they would certainly consider obtaining some resources to cultivate.

When someone like Li Chen, who was max-level, came, his vision was different; there were really many useful things here.

Just because low-level cultivators couldn't obtain them didn't mean Li Chen couldn't obtain them.

"I think it's possible, so let's go find where the Long Di's tomb chamber is first."

Li Chen felt that the Thunder Spirit Pearl could be found later; let's master this place first.

Then he looked at Zhuo Shishi and asked: "Do you know which consorts of the Long Di are more important?"

Zhuo Shishi nodded; she still knew this.

After all, she had mixed in the harem for a period, and Zhuo Shishi had some understanding of the Long Di's harem.

She told Li Chen that the Long Di had a consort named Qiu Xianyu; that woman was proficient in all kinds of formations and secret techniques and was one of the Long Di's most loyal consorts, even participating in the design of this tomb.

If they found her, she would definitely know something.

Zhuo Shishi was very afraid of Qiu Xianyu; when mentioning her name, she spoke very softly—it seemed she had been bullied by Qiu Fei before.

Wu Nanzhi asked, what about the Long Di's Empress?

Zhuo Shishi indicated that the Empress wasn't buried; if over a thousand years had already passed, then the Empress had long since died.

Qiu Fei was the woman most likely to become the Empress.
