Chapter 350
Xu Que really didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would be so generous that for a mere Ice Soul Jade Pill, she would even give away the Seventh Princess.
At this moment, he even doubted whether the Seventh Princess was the Empress Dowager's biological granddaughter.
However, when he asked the question about "whether the Empress Dowager can be given away," the Empress Dowager chose to ignore it. Although the cold murderous intent on her face betrayed her, she still pretended not to hear anything and continued to negotiate with Xu Que.
"Young Hero Xu, I believe that you and the Seventh Princess are in love. If you can bring the Ice Soul Jade Pill back, I can definitely arrange for you to get married."
"Also, I have collected many dharma artifacts and spirit medicines over the years, among which there are six-star spirit medicines suitable for your tribulation, and even for sprinting to the Infant Transformation Stage!"
"Of course, with Young Hero Xu's strength, even without spirit medicine, sprinting to the Infant Transformation Stage is just around the corner. But if you become the Prince Consort of the Golden Yuan Kingdom, you will also have the strength to sit as the future crown prince!"
The Empress Dowager said one after another, proposing various conditions.
From the Seventh Princess to dharma artifacts and spirit medicines, and finally even hinting that she could let Xu Que become the future emperor of the Golden Yuan Kingdom.
This series of conditions all showed that the Empress Dowager attached extreme importance to that Ice Soul Jade Pill, as if that pill was more important to her than anything else.
And Xu Que was a very good talker, but after the Empress Dowager ignored his question, he also sat on the side pretending, with a faint smile always hanging on the corners of his mouth, stubbornly refusing to speak.
This kind of smile, in the Empress Dowager's eyes, was no different from a lewd smile.
Until the end, the Empress Dowager was finally a bit impatient and asked in a deep voice: "Young Hero Xu, what exactly is your intention?"
Xu Que smiled again, cast his gaze outside the house, and said: "Aiya, today's chat was too happy. It's a pity it's getting late, and I have to hurry to catch the teleportation array. Goodbye!"
After speaking, he suddenly stood up and walked outside.
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Xu Que to leave as soon as he said so.
But looking at Xu Que's back, which showed no sign of staying, she finally couldn't sit still and immediately shouted: "Wait!"
"Not interested!" Xu Que responded without looking back and continued to walk forward.
He had no intention of agreeing to this Empress Dowager's transaction at all. Although taking the Ice Soul Jade Pill was not difficult for him, having to send it back after taking it was a bit troublesome.
And he didn't like this Empress Dowager either. Vaguely, he always felt that this Empress Dowager had an aggressive, high-and-mighty aura, which made him very uncomfortable.
However, just as he had stepped over the threshold, the Empress Dowager's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I can agree to your conditions."
"Ah?"
Xu Que's figure immediately stopped.
Although the Empress Dowager's voice was very faint, he still heard it very clearly and was instantly shocked.
Can agree to my conditions?
What conditions did I mention?
Damn, it wouldn't be that matter of giving away the Empress Dowager, would it? This… this is playing too big!
Xu Que was somewhat incredulous and hurriedly turned around: "You… you are serious?"
The Empress Dowager stared at Xu Que, gritted her teeth, her lips trembled slightly, and she responded coldly: "I keep my word. If you can bring the Ice Soul Jade Pill back, I can agree to your previous conditions!"
"……"
Xu Que was immediately speechless.
Don't, I was just joking just now, just flirting with you casually; why did you take it seriously?
This is really playing too big!
Xu Que was torn between laughter and tears in his heart.
At the same time, he was also very curious: why did this Empress Dowager insist on obtaining the Ice Soul Jade Pill?
Could it be that she is really a virgin and wants to defy heaven and change fate, letting her innate spirit root sublimate?
But this doesn't make sense either. If she is a virgin, how could she become an Empress Dowager?
Full of doubts, Xu Que couldn't help but say: "I know the effect of the Ice Soul Jade Pill very well. What are you using it for?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, seeming very surprised that Xu Que actually knew the effect of the Ice Soul Jade Pill.
But soon, she regained her composure and said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you. You just need to bring the pill back, and I will naturally do as you wish!"
"Hehe!"
Xu Que gave a fake laugh and responded ambiguously: "I know!"
After speaking, he walked away quickly.
"Young Hero Xu, I am waiting for you!"
As a result, before he had walked a few steps, the Empress Dowager's voice came from behind again.
Xu Que's mouth twitched, and he didn't stop, heading straight toward the center of the imperial palace.
The Empress Dowager stood in the sleeping palace, and after watching his distant back disappear, her eyes gradually turned cold.
"Shameless scoundrel, if it weren't for relying on you to enter the Water Yuan Kingdom's imperial mausoleum, I would have killed you long ago. My body, how could it be something you can covet?"
She whispered to herself, and then with a wave of her hand, the door of the sleeping palace suddenly "bang" shut tightly!
However, she didn't know that Xu Que had no intention of returning at all.
This guy had always been someone who didn't keep his word, and he had only responded with "I know" just now, never promising to bring the pill back.
……
After Xu Que moved away from the Empress Dowager's sleeping palace, he also suddenly stopped and turned to look.
Recalling the "I am waiting for you" the Empress Dowager said when he left, the corners of his mouth immediately lifted.
Just kidding, waiting for me?
Waiting for me for what? This King of Acting Cool is burdened with the heavy responsibility of acting cool and still has to resurrect Xiao Rou; where would I have the heart to run back to deliver a pill to you!
Such an arrogant Empress Dowager, who cares!
Ice Soul Jade Pill, right? After I find it, I'll send it directly to the Fire Origin Kingdom, give one to the beautiful Sect Master Su, give one to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Su Ling'er, and give one to Lady Ya, but I just won't give it to you, this damn Empress Dowager!
Ah right, there's also the Empress!
Oh no, three Ice Soul Jade Pills are not enough to distribute…
Xu Que was immediately worried, frowning and pondering how to distribute the Ice Soul Jade Pills along the way, and unknowingly, he went straight back to the front hall of the imperial palace from the Empress Dowager's sleeping palace.
A eunuch saw him and immediately ran up anxiously: "Aiya, Young Hero Xu, finally found you. The teleportation array is ready, and the Emperor asked me to pick you up."
"Is this really sent by the Emperor this time?" Xu Que raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously.
The eunuch was stunned: "What does Young Hero Xu mean by this?"
"Nothing, hurry up and lead the way!" Xu Que waved his hand.
"Alright, Young Hero Xu, please follow this old servant. The Emperor and your pet have been waiting for a long time." The eunuch hurriedly responded and diligently led the way to the location of the teleportation array.
Upon hearing the word "pet," Xu Que was immediately stunned and asked in surprise: "Er Gouzi is here too?"
"Yes, it has been in the palace since two days ago, staying in the Imperial Kitchen and refusing to leave. Today, upon hearing that you were going to take the teleportation array to the Water Yuan Kingdom, it was willing to leave the Imperial Kitchen, saying it wanted to leave with you." The eunuch nodded and responded.
Xu Que's mouth twitched.
He thought Er Gouzi had some backbone; it had disappeared since returning from the imperial mausoleum. He didn't expect it to have sneaked into the Imperial Kitchen to steal food.
Without thinking, he knew this guy must have borrowed his prestige to cheat food and drink in the Imperial Kitchen!
……
Soon, led by the eunuch, Xu Que bypassed the front hall of the imperial palace and was brought to the place where the teleportation array was set up.
At this time, a huge ancient array had already appeared before him.
The entire formation was paved with spirit stones, carved with runes, and between the spirit stones, there was metal inlaid, providing majestic metal-element spiritual energy.
And beside the teleportation array stood several figures, including the Golden Emperor, the Third Prince, and the Seventh Princess.
Of course, Er Gouzi was there too!
After not seeing it for two days, this cheap dog had actually gained a circle of fat. At this moment, it was lying on the teleportation array, lazily basking in the sun.
"Young Master Xu, you're here!"
"Young Hero Xu!"
At this time, the Seventh Princess, the Third Prince, and others also happened to see Xu Que and immediately walked over with a smile.
Xu Que bowed slightly and exchanged a few polite words with them.
And when the Golden Emperor saw Xu Que and the Seventh Princess talking and laughing, his expression was very unnatural, fearing that his daughter would really be abducted, so he hurriedly said: "Xiao Qi, Young Hero Xu still has urgent matters to attend to; don't waste Young Hero Xu's time!"
"Oh…"
The Seventh Princess retreated sheepishly and said to Xu Que: "Young Master Xu, farewell!"
"En, I should hurry on my way too! Goodbye, everyone!"
Xu Que didn't intend to waste any more time. After bowing and saying goodbye to everyone, he stepped onto the teleportation array and stepped over Er Gouzi's belly.
"Awoo…"
Er Gouzi was immediately woken up by the pain and howled.
"Activate the array!"
At this time, the Golden Emperor ordered to open the array, clearly wishing he could send away this great disaster star, Xu Que, as soon as possible.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire array shone with intense white light.
In the reluctant gazes of the Seventh Princess, the Third Prince, and others, the array rotated rapidly, spiritual energy intertwined, and the figures of Xu Que and Er Gouzi gradually faded!
