Chapter 298: Saying Goodbye to Singleness
"Indeed! What Mother said is correct, this concubine has also grasped it!" On the side, Diao Chan issued a pleasant voice and echoed.
"Good, since you have both grasped the technique, then I will transmit the power to you now." Liu Bian revealed a smile, then looked at the two.
Hearing this, Empress Dowager He and Diao Chan exchanged glances, both revealing looks of happiness on their faces.
They knew that this moment had finally arrived. From Liu Bian, they already knew that the spiritual energy of this world was very thin now. If they relied on their own cultivation, it was estimated that it would take about ten days or half a month to get started.
Therefore, Liu Bian's power transmission this time had extraordinary significance for them.
They were full of anticipation for the upcoming power transmission, and even more full of confidence in Liu Bian and themselves. They also wanted to become powerful, especially for Diao Chan, who cherished this opportunity even more.
She wanted to become powerful, not just for eternal youth and immortality.
Even more, it was to be able to help Liu Bian in the future.
Since there was this opportunity, she did not want to watch Liu Bian face this broken landscape alone. She also wanted to contribute a share of strength for her lover.
She did not want to see the person she loved so tired.
Liu Bian did not know the thoughts of the two at this moment. He did not say more, walked behind the two, stretched out his hands, and pressed them gently on their backs.
Empress Dowager He and Diao Chan felt a warm force coming from Liu Bian's hands. They closed their eyes and devoted themselves to it.
Liu Bian silently recited in his heart and said to the system: "System, help them improve their cultivation to the Postnatal First Heaven realm."
"Ding, very well, Host. 3320 points of National Fortune Value needed for improvement have been deducted. Remaining National Fortune Value is 4206 points."
Following Liu Bian's words falling, the system began to operate.
Instantly, a powerful internal strength surged into the bodies of Empress Dowager He and Diao Chan like a surging flood.
The two were caught off guard by this sudden impact of power, but they quickly calmed down, fully operated the "Heaven and Earth Creation Martial Canon," and went all out to absorb this massive internal strength.
The two focused all their attention, guiding the internal strength to flow along the specific meridians of the technique, striving to refine this internal strength and make it completely merge into their own internal strength.
Time passed second by second, and Liu Bian's mind always maintained a high degree of concentration, nervously watching the two.
And Empress Dowager He and Diao Chan went all out to refine this massive internal strength.
A full hour passed. As the last wisp of internal strength entered the dantian, the aura on the two people's bodies erupted suddenly.
Their aura instantly broke through to the Postnatal First Heaven realm, and a powerful momentum radiated from their bodies.
Liu Bian felt their changes and nodded with satisfaction.
He slowly withdrew his hands, looked at the brand-new Empress Dowager He and Diao Chan before him, and a trace of gratification flashed in his eyes.
Watching the two slowly open their eyes, Liu Bian smiled and said to the two: "Mother, Chan'er, congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Postnatal First Heaven realm. Now you have successfully stepped into the Martial Dao and are the people with the highest cultivation in the Han Empire besides me."
"It is still thanks to Bian'er; otherwise, Mother would not know there was a Martial Dao in this world, let alone now have the opportunity to step into the Martial Dao." Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bian excitedly and said with a face full of gratification.
"Indeed, what Mother said is correct. It is thanks to Your Majesty. From now on, this concubine can help Your Majesty, hee hee..." Diao Chan blinked playfully at Liu Bian and smiled gracefully.
Next, as the two's cultivation entered the Postnatal Realm, Liu Bian told the two some precautions for cultivation. After exhorting them to cultivate well, he bid farewell to Empress Dowager He and left with Diao Chan.
After leaving Changqiu Palace, Liu Bian strolled around the Imperial Palace with Diao Chan.
"Chan'er, in a month's time, I will send troops to Liangzhou and Bingzhou. After I pacify the two provinces, I will give you a status. For now, just be wronged for a while!" Looking at Diao Chan who was accompanying him and happily looking at the palace scenery, Liu Bian solemnly promised.
"Your Majesty, you need not be like this. Diao Chan is just a palace maid. Being favored by Your Majesty is already a great fortune; how dare I hope for anything else?" Hearing Liu Bian's words, Diao Chan hurriedly said.
"Chan'er, I know what you are thinking, but I cannot let you follow me without status forever. I have already decided that after I pacify the two provinces, I will give you a formal status and let you become my consort." Liu Bian said firmly.
Diao Chan heard this, a trace of being moved flashed in her eyes. She nodded gently, looked at Liu Bian with love, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your deep love. Diao Chan is willing to serve by Your Majesty's side for a lifetime."
Liu Bian smiled, took Diao Chan's hand, and said gently: "Chan'er, I will not fail your deep affection. During this period, don't live in Mother's palace; don't disturb Mother's cultivation. Move over and live with me first. By then, if there are any problems in cultivation, I can resolve them for you in time."
"Your Majesty...
This concubine will listen to Your Majesty's arrangements..." Diao Chan looked at Liu Bian shyly, lowered her head, her face flushed red, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
The two walked hand in hand on the palace path, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.
The sunlight sprinkled on them, as if putting a layer of golden radiance on them.
Night fell. In the Imperial Palace, on the dragon bed in Liu Bian's sleeping palace, two figures were intertwined. Immediately, a sound of seductive music resounded in the hall.
"Please, Your Majesty, have pity..."
The next day, in Liu Bian's sleeping palace in the Imperial Palace, Liu Bian felt refreshed after getting up.
Looking at Diao Chan sleeping soundly on the dragon bed, he raised his hand to gently stroke the green silk scattered on Diao Chan's forehead.
"Your Majesty..."
Diao Chan tightly covered herself with the quilt, curling up like a frightened little rabbit, only revealing a delicate and dripping little face. Her eyes revealed shyness and nervousness, quietly staring at Liu Bian.
Her face was filled with a happy smile, her slightly flushed cheeks were like ripe apples, radiating charming brilliance.
Her voice was as crisp and pleasant as an oriole coming out of a valley, carrying a trace of coquettishness and shyness: "Your Majesty... why, are you, looking at this concubine like this!"
Liu Bian looked at Diao Chan amusingly, his eyes full of deep affection and care.
He gently stroked Diao Chan's hair, his tone gentle and firm: "Chan'er, rest well today; do not overwork. I have already ordered the servants to prepare supplements for you. You have just experienced human affairs; at this time, your body is at its weakest, so it is not suitable for too much activity."
After speaking, he stepped forward and easily held Diao Chan's soft, boneless little hand, patted it gently, indicating for her to rest at ease.
Diao Chan looked at Liu Bian with gratitude. She felt the sincere care Liu Bian had for her, and her heart was filled with warmth and being moved.
She replied softly: "This concubine thanks Your Majesty for your care!" Her gaze flashed with tears; those were tears of being moved and happiness.
She knew that she had fallen deeply in love with the man before her and was willing to give everything for him. ===== CHAPTER 299 =====
