Chapter 403: The Empress wants to auction things?

Duan Jiude?

Upon hearing this name, the Empress was slightly startled and asked suspiciously: "Isn't he your master? Why did you come to me to ask about him?"

"Master my ghost, those are all rumors; I don't know him at all! I just borrowed his name to bluff people at the beginning, but I didn't expect that he actually robbed the Imperial Mausoleums of the Wood Origin Kingdom and the Earth Origin Kingdom, picked two spirit grasses, and claimed to be a member of our Exploding Heaven Gang, and even left a note asking me to go see him!"

The more Xu Que spoke, the angrier he became, and he said indignantly: "Truly shameless, I have never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person!"

The Empress calmed down for a good while and suddenly couldn't help but laugh; words like "thick-skinned" and "shameless" would actually come out of this little guy's mouth!

"With Duan Jiude's personality, knowing that you impersonated his disciple and caused trouble everywhere, he will definitely retaliate against you. Don't run around during this time; stay in the palace and cultivate well!" The Empress said softly.

Xu Que was immediately unhappy and sneered: "That guy snatched my two spirit grasses and still dares to be so arrogant; it's clear he wants to cause trouble. Once I get the Primordial Water Spirit Grass, I will definitely go find him to settle the score!"

Previously, Xu Que had made a big scene in the Fire Origin Kingdom and picked the Primordial Fire Spirit Grass. Duan Jiude probably guessed that his goal was the Primordial Five Spirit Grasses, so he took a step ahead, forcing Xu Que to have to find him!

But Xu Que was not afraid of trouble and had long decided to go find Duan Jiude and beat him up.

But the problem was, the note Duan Jiude left was for Xu Que to find him, but it didn't mention where to find him, so Xu Que came to ask the Empress to see if she knew anything related to Duan Jiude, so as to find clues!

"His background is not simple; even I don't know much about him. Try to avoid meeting him as much as possible. Although the Primordial Five Spirit Grasses are rare, they are not unique in the world, so you can cultivate with peace of mind and don't have to dwell on this matter!" The Empress said calmly, dissuading Xu Que from finding Duan Jiude!

She didn't know much about Duan Jiude, but she also knew that that person was not a good person. With Xu Que's current strength, even if he found Duan Jiude, it was estimated that he wouldn't have a good ending even if he didn't die!

Xu Que was very tough and shook his head: "Whether it's Duan Jiude or Duan Bade, if I find him, I will definitely beat him to death!"

The Empress also knew that Xu Que's personality was so stubborn that he wouldn't easily change things he had decided, so she could only smile faintly: "I'll help you then!"

Xu Que was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Alright, it's a deal. Come, come, let's hook our little fingers to make a promise!"

As he spoke, ignoring the Empress's reaction, Xu Que stretched out his little finger and hooked it onto the Empress's green-onion-like jade little finger, shouting: "Hook fingers, hang yourself, it's not allowed to change for a hundred years, whoever lies is a little dog!"

The Empress was directly stunned, followed by her eyebrows lifting slightly, and she was about to speak.

Xu Que had already released her finger and said solemnly: "Alright, the oath is made. This is the rule of my hometown, a very serious ceremony!"

"..." The Empress didn't speak, staring at Xu Que with deep meaning.

Xu Que also didn't speak, blinked his eyes, and tried hard to put on a very serious and innocent expression!

But after a long time, Xu Que felt guilty.

Hooking fingers and such was of course fake; the original intention was to take advantage, and being able to touch her fingers was not bad, but the Empress staring at him without speaking made it hard for him not to feel guilty.

"Ahem, look at the time, it's getting late. Why don't we rest early? I'll sleep at the end of the bed, you sleep at the head of the bed... Forget it, I have to go back to write my diary!" Xu Que said halfway, seeing the Empress's expression become strange, and immediately knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly left.

The Empress let him leave and remained silent!

Xu Que returned to his residence and patted his chest, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

It is truly worthy of being a woman that only an immortal can screw; the aura is just different. This King of Acting Cool has traveled across the four seas and driven on Akina Mountain so many times, yet I would actually be cowardly; shameful, truly shameful!

"Slap!"

Xu Que slapped himself directly; it was truly too shameful. All his flirting techniques failed, and he was scared away by a look from the Empress; this was simply too humiliating!

"Eh? Kid, why are you hiding here and hitting yourself? Quick, let this Divine Venerable do this kind of thing!"

Suddenly, Er Gouzi's voice came over.

Xu Que was suddenly startled, turned his head to look, and Er Gouzi had actually dug a hole in the corner of the wall, and that dumbfounded expression dog head was poking through.

"Screw your mother, aren't you supposed to have run away? You slandered me, and you still dare to come back?" Xu Que was immediately furious, rushed over, and pressed Er Gouzi's head down.

This guy had only dug half of the dog hole, and its dog head had just poked through, but its body couldn't get through, so it was immediately pressed to the ground by Xu Que, and it said annoyedly: "Let go, kid, if you have the guts, let go and let's have a fair fight!"

"Fight your sister's husband! You spoke ill of me and still dare to come back; you're clearly asking for a beating!" Xu Que slapped it on the forehead.

Er Gouzi howled, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so it used its physical body to smash the wall through the dog hole!

"Bang!"

The wall collapsed, Er Gouzi managed to escape, scurried away quickly, and didn't forget to look back and spout harsh words: "Damn it, kid, you just wait!"

Xu Que directly pinched his two fingers and recited the technique!

"Awoo!"

The collar on Er Gouzi's neck tightened instantly, and it didn't run a few steps before falling to the ground and howling.

Finally, this guy was severely disciplined by Xu Que before it finally became honest and confessed the reason for its return!

"The things in the imperial kitchen are completely useless; this Divine Venerable had only run a few miles out of the Imperial City when the food was finished. I couldn't get full at all. To prevent starving on the road, I definitely had to come back to get some more!"

"You just stay honest for me. If you go to the imperial kitchen to cause trouble again, I'll stew you directly!" Xu Que warned and turned back to his room.

Er Gouzi didn't dare to talk back much and lay on the side, pretending to sleep!

The next day, Xu Que woke up early, changed into new clothes, and prepared to go to the Imperial Tomb to dig for spirit grasses!

But just as he was about to open the door, he heard a conversation from a few palace maids passing by the door!

"Have you heard? Why does Her Majesty the Water Emperor suddenly want to auction things? Those things are all things she usually carries with her; they must be things she likes!"

"Sigh, it is said that our Shuiyuan Kingdom's national treasury was emptied by Empress Bing Ning, and disaster relief is needed everywhere. Her Majesty the Water Emperor has no choice but to take this desperate measure!"

"Actually, as long as Her Majesty the Water Emperor speaks, the wealthy merchants and princes in the Imperial City will definitely offer large amounts of spirit stones and silver, but she is too kind and never uses other people's things, let alone asking others for help; she relies on herself for everything!"

"But this auction will definitely be very successful. With Her Majesty the Water Emperor's reputation, the few accessories she carries with her will definitely be snatched up by many people!"

"That's for sure, and I heard that Her Majesty the Water Emperor also took out some cultivation techniques and dharma treasures. I think the amount of spirit stones and silver needed this time must be very large!"

As the two spoke, they gradually walked away.

Xu Que was stunned!

National treasury deficit? The Empress wants to auction things? And they are things she carries with her?

This... this must be taken by himself!

Those flashy sluts outside, don't even think about getting any of them!

"Creak!"

Xu Que immediately pushed open the door and rushed directly to the front of the Empress's sleeping palace.

"Bang bang bang!"

He knocked on the door and shouted: "Little girl, open the door quickly, I'm here to check the water... pfft, no, I'm here to enter through your back door!" ===== CHAPTER 404 =====
