Chapter 486

Soon, Xu Que, Su Ling'er, and Su Xiaoqi returned to the imperial palace!

The imperial guards were naturally incomparably respectful when they saw Xu Que. After all, they were very familiar with this face, and the situation of him killing the Fire Emperor back then was still incomparably clear in their minds to this day.

Xu Que nodded to them with a faint smile, and then returned to a sleeping palace with Su Ling'er and her sister.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Xu Que said, "Today I have already placed arrays on the imperial palace. From now on, whether it's demon beasts or the Sea Race, it will be difficult for them to attack. You can lead the rest of your clansmen and live here with peace of mind!"

"What about you?" Su Ling'er asked subconsciously.

Xu Que smiled, "I'm leaving in a few days to go overseas and settle scores with someone!"

"What?" Immediately, Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi exclaimed at the same time.

"You're leaving again?" Su Xiaoqi frowned, feeling a bit unhappy.

Xu Que was amused and smiled, "What's the matter? Can't bear to see me go?"

Su Xiaoqi curled her lips, "No, before you leave, you have to leave some chocolate pills for me to eat!"

"..." Xu Que's mouth twitched instantly, and his smile froze completely.

So it was that she couldn't bear to part with the chocolate pills. This was awkward!

Su Ling'er was silent for a good while before asking softly, "When will you be back?"

"It's hard to say, but if I return, I will definitely come to take you overseas! As those Sea Race members said, our place lacks spiritual energy, and cultivation is too slow. The outside world is suitable for you!" Xu Que shook his head. After all, he didn't know when he would be able to return either!

On that continent where experts were as numerous as trees, Xu Que didn't know if he could continue to act cool smoothly, but he always defended that firm heart. If he didn't act cool, what was the difference between him and a salted fish? No matter how many difficulties and obstacles were ahead, he had to keep his original dream and still hold his head high to act cool!

"Do you need me to go with you?" Su Ling'er thought seriously for a moment before asking. She was worried that Xu Que would have no one to rely on if he went overseas alone!

"You still have to stay. The entire alien race needs you. When I return from overseas, I will take you to a broader world and move toward prosperity!" Xu Que promised, patting his chest.

Originally, before this, he really wanted to take Su Ling'er and the others overseas.

When he was at the Grand Imperial Physician Gate, he had asked Su Cloud Sect Master if she was willing to go with him, but Su Cloud Sect Master shouldered the heavy responsibility of her father and grandfather to carry forward the Grand Imperial Physician Gate and could not leave.

But now Xu Que had dispelled that idea instead.

Because the appearance of the Sea Race let him know that overseas cultivators were far more powerful than he had imagined. If he rashly took them there, it would make him distracted and even make it difficult to ensure their safety.

Moreover, he was going overseas this time, besides wanting to ask Duan Jiude for two spiritual grasses, he also wanted to settle scores with the Jiang family and, by the way, figure out what had happened to the Empress and why she always said her fate was ominous!

Finally, Su Ling'er nodded and agreed with Xu Que's decision to stay behind and lead the alien race.

Su Xiaoqi was always thinking about Xu Que's chocolate and had been waiting eagerly on the side. Seeing that the two had finished talking about business, she urged, "Xu Que, hurry up and refine the chocolate pills! I'm almost sleepy to death!"

"Xiaoqi, don't be naughty!" Su Ling'er slapped Su Xiaoqi's head in annoyance, then looked at Xu Que and said, "It's getting late, get some rest early. I'll see you off in a few days!"

"Mm, it really is time to rest early. But..." Xu Que nodded slightly, his expression a bit serious.

Su Ling'er was startled, "What's wrong?"

Xu Que revealed a grinning look and said, "I'm afraid of the dark and don't dare to sleep alone. What should I do?"

Su Ling'er reacted extremely quickly and immediately blushed!

Su Xiaoqi, however, was full of mockery and incomparably disdainful, "Xu Que, you are really too timid."

"I'm not timid, I'm afraid of loneliness!" Xu Que shook his head, suddenly revealing a sad and deep expression, and began to sing softly, "Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet, most afraid of friends suddenly leaving, most afraid of memories suddenly rolling, twisting in pain without subsiding..."

"How about it, did you hear it? I am a person with a story. Once I am alone, I will think of bad things and have heart pain, so I don't want to sleep alone at night!"

Xu Que explained solemnly.

But Su Ling'er had long seen through these tricks of Xu Que's. How could she believe these ghost stories of his? Her face became redder and hotter.

Su Xiaoqi, however, was stunned, thinking that Xu Que really had some sad past, and couldn't help but comfort him, "Xu Que, don't be afraid. Why don't you treat me to chocolate pills, and I'll sleep with you!"

"Ah?" Xu Que was instantly dumbfounded!

"Xiaoqi, don't be naughty!" Su Ling'er also immediately straightened her face and educated Su Xiaoqi!

"Exactly! This is too naughty!" Xu Que also nodded repeatedly, very much agreeing with Su Ling'er's criticism of Su Xiaoqi.

This was indeed too reckless. How could there be such a reason under heaven?

If I treat you to chocolate pills, you'll sleep with me?

What if you go back on your word after eating the chocolate?

I, the King of Acting Cool, won't fall for it!

"What did I do wrong?" Su Xiaoqi was full of grievances and confused, not knowing at all what she had said wrong.

Su Ling'er blushed, but couldn't say a word, so she had to glare at Xu Que as if blaming him, as if to say: Look at the good things you've done!

Xu Que immediately put on a serious expression, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

When it came to thick-skinned, Su Ling'er definitely couldn't compare to Xu Que.

Xu Que could say an ordinary sentence in a way that made people blush and have wild thoughts, while he himself remained calm and composed, with a righteous appearance, which was simply infuriating.

Su Ling'er had no choice but to continue to straighten her face and send Su Xiaoqi to sleep with a few casual words.

But Su Xiaoqi also lived in this sleeping palace. After she climbed onto the bed in a depressed mood, Xu Que continued to sit in his original seat, motionless!

Su Ling'er was suddenly a bit panicked!

If Su Xiaoqi wasn't by her side, she would be very open, and even dared to say jokes like "eat below" to Xu Que.

But with Su Xiaoqi there, she was a bit unable to let go and was really anxious.

At this moment, Xu Que smiled and said, "This... *cough cough*, Ling'er, look, it's getting late. If I go back now, I will definitely disturb others. Why don't I sleep here tonight? Don't worry, I'll just sleep on the floor!"

"Ah? This... this..." Su Ling'er stammered immediately.

With her understanding of Xu Que, how could she easily believe Xu Que's ghost stories?

He said he would sleep on the floor, but who knew if he would secretly climb onto her bed in the middle of the night? Judging from this guy's previous performance, he could definitely do such a thing!

Su Ling'er's heart was in a panic.

It couldn't be denied that she had a good impression of Xu Que, but she hadn't prepared at all, and Su Xiaoqi was also here. She couldn't accept taking that step with Xu Que here!

If it were at ordinary times, she would definitely not be so panicked and would directly refuse Xu Que.

But just now, knowing that Xu Que would leave in a few days and not knowing how long he would be gone, Su Ling'er's heart hesitated and wavered.
