Chapter 576: Seeking Help from Yuanshi

"Hmph! A bunch of sluts. Just you wait, I have plenty of ways to deal with you later."

Xiao Yanzhi said through gritted teeth.

She had always been very confident in her own charm.

Although she had angered Yin Qi away yesterday, she believed that after some time, Yin Qi would still return to her side.

It was just that the days that followed made her less and less confident, because for a whole month, Yin Qi had basically spent every night at Qingwei Palace, only occasionally going to Qingluan Palace, as if he had completely forgotten her.

Consequently, Xiao Yanzhi panicked.

It was also the first time her confidence in her own charm had been shaken.

Once a person panics, they are prone to making mistakes.

Since Yin Qi was heartless, then she could not be blamed for being unrighteous.

Xiao Yanzhi's gaze hardened; she went to Zichen Hall in person, wanting to apologize to Yin Qi face-to-face, while simultaneously playing the victim and expressing remorse to win back Yin Qi's heart, but in the end, she was blocked outside the hall.

The eunuch relaying the message said, "Your Highness, the Great King is discussing state affairs with the Prime Minister and the others; you should return first. The Great King said he will go to Hanxiang Palace tonight."

"Good, good!"

Xiao Yanzhi was disappointed at first, but then she smiled with joy.

Her smile was like a hundred flowers in bloom, radiating incomparable charm, so much so that even the eunuch felt his heart flutter and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look, lest he offend the Beauty.

……

Night fell.

Hanxiang Palace.

"Great King!"

Watching Yin Qi walk over, Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly put on a pitiful and charming appearance, bowing gracefully.

Yin Qi sighed feignedly and said, "My beloved consort, let the past be the past. In the future, be more sensible; matters of the court, especially matters concerning the National Teacher, must never be mentioned again. The National Teacher not only has merit toward me, but his background is also extremely profound. As far as the current situation goes, our Great Shang cannot afford to provoke him. I am doing this for your own good."

Xiao Yanzhi wore a look of gratitude and nodded obediently: "Mm-hmm, Great King, this concubine knows she was wrong and will never dare to do it again. Wuwu, Great King, you haven't come for this period of time, and I have been unable to sleep alone, feeling anxious and uneasy. Fortunately, fortunately you have finally come."

The Beauty's tearful appearance was the most pitiful and moving.

"Alright, alright, it's fine now."

Yin Qi very tactfully stepped forward, wearing a look of heartache, and pulled Xiao Yanzhi into his embrace.

A moment later, the two rolled onto the jade couch.

Amidst Yin Qi's wild thrusts, a fierce look flashed in Xiao Yanzhi's eyes, and she quietly cast the Mysterious Soul-Bewitching Technique, wanting to completely control Yin Qi and make him a Slave to her thoughts.

This Mysterious Soul-Bewitching Technique was extremely sophisticated and could reshape a person's thoughts in their subconscious.

Apart from this, there was no other difference.

In front of others, Yin Qi remained that wise and benevolent monarch, but behind closed doors, he would be unable to refuse her orders, or rather, her requests, just as if he loved someone to the marrow of his bones, to the point where his intelligence dropped to zero.

Of course, even the most sophisticated methods have flaws.

Theoretically speaking, a Mysterious Immortal could also possibly see this flaw, but it was only a possibility.

In any case, Yuanshi Tianzun only told her to bewitch Yin Qi and cause him to neglect state affairs; he did not stipulate that she was not allowed to use Earth Immortal methods.

A mere Heaven Realm, surely it would be easy to capture.

Xiao Yanzhi's methods, of course, could not deceive Yin Qi, but he paid them no mind.

And Xiao Yanzhi was soon dumbfounded.

She discovered that Yin Qi was actually able to be immune to her methods.

More precisely, there was an extremely powerful barrier within Yin Qi's body.

Below the Mysterious Immortal level, all techniques were repelled.

"Yang Daoren! It's that Yang Daoren again!"

Xiao Yanzhi came to her senses, feeling secret hatred in her heart.

There was no need to think; this was definitely the work of Yang Daoren, and she did not know what treasure he had given Yin Qi that could protect him from the invasion of evil arts.

Wait……

Could it be that he discovered me?

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly felt as if her heart had been fiercely tugged, and her whole body tensed up.

If he hadn't discovered any clues, why give Yin Qi such a treasure? Or was it just as a precaution?

In the end, Xiao Yanzhi still felt the latter possibility was more likely.

……

Unknowingly, another night passed.

Yin Qi left feeling refreshed, and after Xiao Yanzhi got up, bathed, and changed her clothes, she locked herself in her room, lit three sticks of incense, and kowtowed piously.

There was no help for it; she had to seek help from Yuanshi Tianzun.

Who could have imagined that Yin Qi would have a treasure protecting his body, even making him immune to her casting, let alone ordinary bewitching techniques; no wonder they had never been effective.

One must know that back in the Sea of Blood, for Asuras below the Immortal Level, she could make them lose their minds with just a few flirtatious glances.

A moment later.

The blue smoke swirled open, and the majestic face of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared.

"Heavenly Venerable!"

"What is the matter?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was composed, exuding a majesty that made it hard to breathe.

Xiao Yanzhi reported tremblingly: "Heavenly Venerable, this lowly servant is incompetent; I have exhausted all means but none have been effective, truly because that National Teacher Yang Daoren gifted the Human Emperor a certain treasure that can resist my power of seduction. Just a short while ago, this lowly servant even risked trying to control the Human Emperor, but it had no effect at all."

"Hmph!"

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a grunt of dissatisfaction, scaring Xiao Yanzhi into kowtowing until her head hit the ground, trembling with fear.

After a long while, Yuanshi said: "Have you found out the background of Yang Daoren?"

He had also attempted a Calculation on Yang Daoren, only to discover that it was impossible to calculate, which indicated that there must be a Saint standing behind the other party.

The previous belief that Yang Daoren was Tongtian Jiaozhu was also merely a guess.

But a guess is a guess after all; he needed more precise information.

Xiao Yanzhi shook her head and said: "This Yang Daoren is as elusive as a Divine Dragon, extremely mysterious; apart from the Human Emperor, very few people have seen him, and regarding his affairs, the Human Emperor also avoids talking about them, only saying that this person possesses a great background."

"By the way, this person is also skilled in Artifact Refining and Alchemy."

"He previously presented many Immortal Pills to the Human Emperor, cultivating many powerhouses of the Immortal Realm for Great Shang."

"It is said that he is also very skilled in Array Formation."

"Nowadays, the Spirit Qi in this Imperial Palace is dense, as if it were a Dongtian Fudi; it is said that this is the handiwork of Yang Daoren, seemingly gathered by some peerless Array Formation."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned; the information provided by this Xiao Yanzhi was of little value.

But now that Yin Qi had treasures protecting his body, evil arts could not easily intrude, and relying solely on Xiao Yanzhi's beauty, it would likely be very difficult to bewitch Yin Qi.

After all, no matter how beautiful a Beauty is, there is a limit.

Only by combining beauty with bewitching arts can one amplify a person's charm infinitely.

Thinking of this, he tossed his hand, and a Jade Talisman crossed infinite space and landed before Xiao Yanzhi, saying: "Refine this Jade Talisman; using this Jade Talisman as a medium, you can make your bewitching power ignore defenses."

Xiao Yanzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly caught it: "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded indifferently, and the image vanished completely; the Qing smoke returned to normal.

Xiao Yanzhi stood up, stroked the Jade Talisman, and smiled sweetly: "With this Jade Talisman, Yin Qi, let's see how you can still escape from the palm of my hand. I want to be Empress, I want everyone to obey my orders. And those sluts, I will cast them all into the cold palace. Hehehe!"

Ever since entering the palace, she had tasted the flavor of power.

Once she controlled Yin Qi, she would naturally become the behind-the-scenes ruler of this supreme Heavenly Dynasty.
