Chapter 73

Xu Que found it hard to believe that a woman could be so beautiful!

Even if he had read countless novels in his previous life and seen countless descriptions of women who could topple cities and countries, he always felt that those were just novels, and it was impossible for such a perfect person to exist in reality.

However, today he really saw it.

The woman's facial features were as exquisite as a painting, clear at a glance. On her fair, breakable-like-skin face, there was a kind of dignified and generous manner of a mature Eastern woman, and an elegant and serious manner of grace and luxury. Clearly, this was the aura possessed by someone in a high position.

But this aura was not aggressive. There was more of a gentle and broad demeanor about her. The phrase "mother of the world" was almost a portrayal of her.

Princess Yan Yang also possessed the aura of someone in a high position, but compared to the woman in front of him, Princess Yan Yang was completely willful, without the slightest atmosphere that this woman had!

And just as Xu Que was lost in thought looking at this woman, the woman's deep eyes were also watching Xu Que.

Except for the initial surprise, her eyes were now as calm as water, and she pondered slightly in her heart:

'Something is wrong. This handsome youth is only at the Golden Core Stage Perfection, how could he reach the eighth floor? Could it be that the heart demon has arrived so quickly! But I have been in seclusion for several months, and now is the critical moment to release the Ice Spirit Power in my body and rebuild the Infant Transformation. There must be no external interference on my body, and I have never exposed myself like this in front of outsiders. Or... this is the weakness in my heart, which led to the appearance of the heart demon!'

'It's just that... heart demons all have flaws. Although my heart was slightly shaken just now, it's no big deal. I should also be glad that the youth transformed by the heart demon is only at the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, if an Infant Transformation Stage one appeared, I might have believed it, startled my Divine Soul, and eventually fallen short... Now that I have seen through that this youth is transformed by a heart demon, there is no need to pay more attention to it.'

Thinking of this, the woman closed her eyes again, collected her thoughts, and devoted herself to cultivation again.

And her identity was naturally the most outstanding Heaven's Chosen girl of the Heavenly Fragrance Valley back then, and also the current Empress of the Water Origin Kingdom—Hong Yan!

However, Xu Que's imagination was limited. Although he could see that the woman's identity was not simple, it was impossible for him to guess that she was the famous Empress.

However, the top priority was to get out of trouble first. Being squeezed in these clouds and mist was really a bit embarrassing!

"Beauty?"

Thinking of getting out of trouble, Xu Que hurriedly looked at the woman and called out softly.

But the Empress had completely regarded him as a transformation of the heart demon, deaf and blind, as calm as clear water, without the slightest movement.

Even the long eyelashes on her eyes didn't move a bit!

Xu Que's mouth twitched instantly, and he tried to move his body, but under the powerful suppression force all around, he was stuck in the middle, unable to move, let alone squeeze out.

Helpless, Xu Que had to speak again: "Beauty, do me a favor, I'm stuck."

"..." The Empress had no movement!

Xu Que continued to call out: "Beauty, help me out."

"..."

The Empress still didn't react, but the eyelashes on her eyes trembled slightly at this moment.

Xu Que had just eaten stinky tofu before coming up, and the distance to the Empress was only a dozen centimeters. As soon as he opened his mouth, the smell rushed out.

The Empress's eyes moved slightly, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was disturbed by this smell, and she secretly exclaimed in her heart: 'Why is this heart demon so powerful? It can actually emit such a stench! Not good, my heart is a bit affected, I can't be disturbed anymore!'

She immediately concentrated her energy again, continued to collect her heart, and entered the state of cultivation.

Seeing that she was so indifferent, Xu Que was instantly unhappy and snorted: "Beauty, are you deaf? Or are you unable to move? Hurry up and save me. If you save me, I can treat you to stinky tofu and roasted chicken wings as thanks."

"..."

"Don't like eating them? Then I'll compose a poem for you?"

"..."

"Sister's appearance is so soul-stirring, curves are exquisite without wrinkles! Hey, how is it? Is it quite rhyming? This is also my first time composing a poem!"

"..."

"Are you unable to speak? Then at least blink an eye to respond to me!"

"..."

"Move a bit, holy crap... you really aren't moving?"

"..."

"Sigh, the world is going downhill, people's hearts are not what they used to be! Beauty, you are so beautiful, why aren't you enthusiastic at all? Do you understand what it means to be brave for a just cause? Do you know what it means to help others?"

"..." The Empress still had no movement.

Fortunately, this was an Empress with an extremely stable and powerful heart, not easily influenced by external things.

If it were someone else, listening to Xu Que nagging in front of them while cultivating, they would have probably gone into qi deviation long ago, and by the way, rushed up to beat him.

"Damn it, you're amazing. Hmph, asking for help is not as good as asking for yourself. If you don't save me, I'll save myself at most!"

Xu Que cursed in his heart, thought of the system, and asked directly: "System, is there any way to help me get out of this predicament?"

"Ding! The host only needs to wait for half an hour, and after the Divine Soul tempering is completed, you can obtain a 100% Divine Soul increase! At the same time, buy 8 more drops of Profound Ice Green Fire Dew, and you can completely ignore the suppression on this floor!"

The system gave a response, and Xu Que's eyes widened instantly, shouting in his heart: "Eight drops of Profound Ice Green Fire Dew? Holy crap, you're robbing me!"

Eight drops of Profound Ice Green Fire Dew, that's a full 4,000 Acting Cool Points!

He originally had 4,000-plus Acting Cool Points, but to climb this tower, he had already bought two drops of Profound Ice Green Fire Dew, and now he only had 3,000-plus left, so he couldn't afford it at all!

"I knew I shouldn't have climbed this damn eighth floor! I thought I could make a big profit, but I didn't expect that I only earned Divine Soul Power, while the Acting Cool Points were a loss." Xu Que was somewhat annoyed, and his gaze fell on the woman close at hand, suddenly thinking of something.

"No, I must act cool from you! Otherwise, how long will I be trapped? What if the Heavenly Tribulation descends in a few days and I haven't gotten out of trouble yet? Wouldn't I be standing here and be struck to death alive?" Xu Que muttered to himself and made a choice.

"System, is there any way to let me move, even in a small range!"

"Ding! You can buy one drop of Profound Ice Green Fire Dew first!"

"Is there no free or cheaper one?" Xu Que said with a bitter face.

"This is already the most economical plan. After the host takes the Profound Ice Green Fire Dew, you can obtain an activity range of one square meter. After half an hour, the Divine Soul automatic tempering ends, and you can obtain an activity range of three square meters!"

"... Alright, then buy one drop. By the way, didn't you say that I obtained the 'Acting Cool Offender' title and can get a 10% discount?"

"Ding! All prices in the mall have already been discounted!"

"..."

Profiteer, black-hearted merchant, hey, so angry...

While Xu Que was indignantly slandering, he still exchanged for a drop of Profound Ice Green Fire Dew and took it.

Soon, his mental realm changed again, expanding by 60%.

At the same time, the shackles on his body were broken in an instant, and the clouds and mist drifted away from his side, retreating to one square meter away. This meant that Xu Que's body had regained its freedom.

"Although it's only one square meter, as a master of acting cool, I will never perform abnormally because of the venue!"

Xu Que curled his lips and looked at the woman who was still meditating: "Beauty, come and watch me act cool!"

Empress: "..."

Xu Que's eyes instantly condensed, continuing to stare at the Empress, and he became thoughtful...

Well, actually, it was nothing, just that he thought she was beautiful and looked at her a few more times.

Afterward, Xu Que withdrew his gaze, restored his serious gentlemanly appearance, and began to take out various things from the system package, various weapons for acting cool!
