Chapter 404: Absolutely not causing trouble

"Creak!"

The door opened suddenly.

Xu Que happened to be knocking on the door and almost knocked his hand onto the Empress's white, jade-like, exquisite face!

Fortunately, he hurriedly stopped and said with a dry laugh: "I heard you want to auction things?"

The Empress was very calm, not startled, with a gentle smile on her face, and nodded: "Not bad, after several great battles, many disaster victims have appeared in the Shuiyuan Kingdom, and some spirit stones and silver are needed for disaster relief!"

"You should come to me for this kind of thing. I have the most money on me, and I have plenty of spirit stones. You move aside, I'll take them all out for you!" Xu Que said, preparing to take out the large batch of spirit stones and silver from the system package.

The Empress suddenly raised her slender hand and smiled faintly: "Little guy, no need for this. You need to keep the spirit stones; you will use a large amount of spirit stones in many places in the future! I want to handle the Shuiyuan Kingdom's affairs myself!"

"Little girl, you are being too distant. I really have a lot of spirit stones!" Xu Que said.

But the Empress was still very determined; she hoped to handle the Shuiyuan Kingdom's affairs alone and didn't want Xu Que to intervene.

Xu Que remembered what Liu Jingning had said at the time, telling him not to have too much relationship with the Empress, otherwise he would definitely be involved in the future.

Perhaps because of this, the Empress seemed gentle and approachable, but in reality, she had a cold temperament that kept people at a distance, and she didn't want to have too much involvement with anyone.

Xu Que was already an exception. Years ago, in the Spirit Domain Tower, he had seen the Empress completely naked, which invisibly narrowed the distance between them.

Later, this guy showed so many strange things, like roasted chicken wings and stinky tofu, and even powerfully killed the Heavenly Fiend Old Killing God and the Fire Emperor, which made the Empress appreciate his talent.

"How about this, I'll buy all the things, definitely higher than the auction price, how about it?" Xu Que continued to say, wanting to help the Empress!

Of course, the most important reason was that this guy was narrow-minded and wouldn't allow the Empress's personal belongings to be auctioned off to others!

The Empress shook her head and smiled: "They are just some ordinary dharma treasures and accessories; it's useless for you to buy them, and the things have already been sent to the auction house and cannot be taken back!"

"What? Already sent to the auction house?" Xu Que was immediately anxious.

The Empress was amused by Xu Que's appearance; they were just small accessories, why be so nervous?

She couldn't help but laugh and said softly: "Little guy, hurry back and cultivate. If I'm not mistaken, you will soon undergo the heavenly tribulation!"

"Little girl, you are not right about this. What heavenly tribulation to care about now? This kind of small matter can be solved easily. The point now is the auction! Quick, tell me where the auction is being held!" Xu Que said anxiously, fearing that if he went late, the things would be bought up!

"You can't go!" The Empress shook her head immediately.

"Why?" Xu Que was immediately puzzled. Why can't I go? Is it because you are beautiful that you can bully people?

However, the Empress didn't speak anymore, looking at him with deep meaning, smiling without saying a word!

Xu Que reacted immediately, his cheeks flushed, and he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I absolutely will not cause trouble!"

Obviously, the Empress was afraid that if Xu Que went, the auction would not be able to continue!

After all, this guy caused trouble wherever he went, which really made people unable to rest assured.

"Your reputation in the Imperial City now is no lower than mine!" The Empress smiled faintly, pointing out everything in one word.

With Xu Que's current reputation, indeed no one dared to offend him. If this guy really went to the auction and shouted a price, who would dare to compete with him!

"You forgot what I looked like when we first met? My disguise art is very exquisite!" Xu Que smiled immediately and took out the "Hu Ge" human skin mask from the system package and stuck it directly on his face.

The Empress was slightly startled, stared at Xu Que for a while, and smiled faintly: "This face doesn't suit you very well; it doesn't have the vitality of your own appearance!"

"That's for sure. Everyone says that the word 'handsome' can run through my whole life! Alright, you hurry up and tell me where the auction is being held. I have to go over quickly, and by the way, buy some cultivation techniques!" Xu Que urged.

The Empress smiled and didn't insist anymore. She flipped her hand and took out a hot-stamped jade invitation, which was very exquisite, the jade color was crystal clear, flowing with light and color, thin as paper, and emitting strands of spiritual energy!

"Tianliu Merchant Association? Is it that big building in the center of the Imperial City market? I'll go over now." Xu Que looked at the words engraved on it and smiled immediately.

A few days ago, when he went to raid the Third Prince's mansion, he passed by the Tianliu Merchant Association and was deeply impressed!

"Remember, don't expose your identity, and don't cause trouble. The power behind the Tianliu Merchant Association is very massive. After you go, you must abide by their rules!" The Empress instructed solemnly.

"Good, I have been law-abiding since I was a child, absolutely not causing trouble!" Xu Que agreed readily, hurriedly turned and flew up, flying toward the outside of the Imperial Palace!

The Empress instructed again hurriedly: "Wait, little guy, there is one most important point: don't kill anyone!"

"Ah? What did you say? The signal here is not good, let's talk when I come back! Goodbye!" Xu Que pretended not to hear, lightning intertwined under his feet, and his figure disappeared into the sky instantly!

The Empress looked at his disappearing back, couldn't help but smile helplessly and shake her head, and immediately summoned a palace maid and said softly: "You find someone to go to the Tianliu Merchant Association to inform them that I have something important to do and will not go to the auction!"

"Yes!" The palace maid retreated slowly!

Soon, Xu Que spread his black fire wings without any restraint, stepped on lightning under his feet, made a blasting sound in the air, and instantly rushed toward the center of the Imperial City market.

The market center had a large flow of people, and no matter how wide the street was, pedestrians were endless!

Especially the Tianliu Merchant Association, many wealthy and powerful families received the news that the Empress had taken out some things for auction, besides personal belongings, there were also some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including high-grade dharma treasures!

With the Empress's popularity and status, taking out any item would be welcomed by many young people in the city.

Therefore, most of the people participating in this auction were young people, of course, there were also some older experts appearing, after all, the auction sold not only the Empress's things, but also treasures taken out by others!

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Xu Que fell from the sky.

Having changed his face and wearing new clothes, Xu Que was like a wandering hero in the cultivation world, with a kind of dashing and unrestrained prodigal temperament.

And this face was still the "Hu Ge" appearance, handsome and extraordinary. As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people at the scene, and many female cultivators looked at him frequently, quite concerned!

But at this moment, Xu Que couldn't care about acting cool at the scene, rushed to the entrance of the Tianliu Merchant Association building, and seeing that the auction didn't seem to have started yet, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this time, a guard at the entrance reached out and stopped him, expressionless: "Please show your invitation, and state your name!"

Xu Que narrowed his eyes, took out the hot-stamped jade invitation, and smiled faintly: "I am from the Exploding Heaven Gang — Wang Sicong!" ===== CHAPTER 405 =====
