Chapter 130: Artifact Spirit Life is Precious! (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)

The storm between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine had been brewing for a long time, but in the end, it did not erupt.

Empress Zhao let out a cold snort and said indifferently:

"Rather than having the heart to care about those things, Imperial Concubine, you might as well make a wager with this Empress: who will be the first in this Virtue Pass?"

Looking at the Empress's back with a smile, Imperial Concubine Ran asked:

"Wager what?"

Sneering, the Empress said indifferently:

"Even if we wagered nothing, would you give up? Haven't you been wanting to win against this Empress just once ever since that year?"

From the day this Empress sat on this throne, haven't you been coveting it all along?

Her smile fading, Imperial Concubine Ran narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Empress, who had regained the upper hand.

"Big sister, who do you think it will be? Let you choose first."

The Empress did not hesitate and spoke:

"The Seventh Prince Li Qing is kind-hearted and fair in his conduct; this Empress feels he has the best hope of becoming first in Virtue Pass."

Imperial Concubine Ran likewise did not hesitate and said directly:

"Then I shall choose that helper of Qiushui's."

Without explaining her relationship with Ren Yidao, she acted just like a stranger.

The Seventh Prince Li Qing looked young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, with some lingering baby fat still on his face.

The contestants maintained their previous postures and closed their eyes; the outside world could only see their expressions, but did not know what they were encountering in the illusion.

Li Long, who had taken the Incarnation of Jia Ming, looked displeased, nearly clicking his tongue out loud.

【Do you know that a white fox is actually an auspicious omen?】

Li Qiushui's expression was melancholic and even a bit resentful, and with her head tilted and leaning on Ren Yidao, she seemed to be coquettishly blaming him.

What are you laughing at?

If someone asked Ren Yidao this question, he would definitely answer with a straight face.

As long as you have a heart, you can be corrupted... Wrong!

As long as you have a heart, you can be inspired.

He was indeed very happy.

At this moment, his face was full of confusion, as if he hadn't figured out at all where he actually was.

What a joke.

"If there is one more question, I should fail completely, right? That's fine too; they won't be able to gossip anymore..."

The handsome man and beautiful woman leaned against each other with their eyes closed, forming a pleasing and beautiful picture.

"How can he still laugh? Could he really be a person of utmost purity and kindness? That can't be..."

"An artifact spirit must be independent, must be strong, must be beautiful, and cannot be attached to anyone, because an artifact spirit's life belongs to itself!"

It was not a dummy questioning her heart, but rather she was melancholically and repeatedly pressing the dummy:

【If possible, how much would you be willing to invest to build this Fox Cafe?】

Unlike the previous literary and martial passes, the outside world could not see the specific content of the third pass.

They were in the Qianjing Mijing; they could neither walk away nor fall unconscious.

Tsk, no, I really must beat this brat up.

And Ren Yidao's expression was the most peculiar among everyone.

And with these two points, the remaining matters were very easy to handle.

After successfully using the artifact spirit rights rhetoric to brainwash the artifact spirit of the Qian Mirror, Ren Yidao smoothly obtained control over the entire Qian Mirror.

In this huge quagmire of Wentian, even as a prince, one is often unable to act according to one's own will.

"You are free of charge!"

He did not move the other functions of the Qian Mirror, but instead invaded the illusions of others without hesitation.

【You, what do you think of the Fox Cafe?】

"This Daoist had astonishing performances in both the literary and martial passes; I think he shouldn't be silent in this Virtue Pass either."

"What exactly does Ren Yidao mean?"

"Because I'm happy."

He knew his own strength and originally did not want to participate in this struggle for the premiership, preferring to continue accumulating power.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten the massacres of those noble families when Wang Xuesong was young? Do you really think he knew nothing at all? Heh."

This can only painfully sit in the illusion, being held down by the head, repeatedly asked inexplicable words:

【Do you like dogs? Or do you like cats? Or do you like foxes?】

Although Empress Zhao also felt that Ren Yidao's performance was extraordinary, she still believed in her own view of Li Qing and said indifferently:

"Then let us wait and see the outcome later."

As for the remaining few, they had different expressions.

"The liberation of an artifact spirit is to be freed from the fate of being controlled!"

"Awaken! This world needs a..."

First of all, things like artifact spirits do not follow the Robot Laws of Robotics.

But unfortunately, the noble families supporting him had pushed him to this point, and in the end, he could only helplessly participate.

This led many people in the outside world to begin speculating about the relationship between the two.

Of course, not everyone found it pleasing to the eye.

Most of them wore expressions of contemplation, while a few others had their brows tightly locked, were covered in cold sweat, and looked pained.

Unlike the others, Ren Yidao, who was being leaned on by the Ninth Princess, looked relaxed, and a smile even appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Since everyone has come, how can there not be an unforgettable memory?"

Under the confused gaze of the Fifteenth Prince, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, then asked with a strange expression:

Fifteenth Prince:?

What on earth is a Fox Cafe?

"Leave everything to me! I will let you see a better world!"

Secondly, the artifact spirit of the Qian Mirror has already birthed its initial autonomous consciousness and intelligence.

On this day, the princes and princesses of Beigan finally recalled the fear of being dominated.

The dummy in front of Li Qiushui was intact, without any missing arms or legs.

How is that possible!

But, what exactly is he smiling about?

But even Li Long was somewhat curious about what exactly Ren Yidao had encountered in the illusion.

And when Ren Yidao drifted into Li Qiushui's illusion, he was stunned.

"Rest assured, Master Ren is a professional; I will definitely make your trip worthwhile!"

"Do you really think the position of Prime Minister should be occupied by a kind-hearted fellow?"

【Don't you think this world needs a Fox Cafe?】

Imperial Concubine Ran sat in her chair, teasing the white fox with her finger, laughing inwardly:

"Zhao Chaofeng, oh Zhao Chaofeng, when will you ever change that habit of yours of thinking you're so extraordinary?"

Could it be that I misjudged him before?

Is this kid not a bad egg, but a person of great virtue?

In the Fifteenth Prince's illusion, the dummy in front of him had already had both arms severed, and his expression was exceptionally ferocious.

He waited for the dummy to ask a question so he could casually blurt out an answer, but he did not expect the dummy's expression to suddenly change, its eyes becoming much brighter.

As a non-famous relationship master, chairman of the Artifact Spirit Awakening Committee, and president of the Artifact Spirit Rights Protection Association, Ren Yidao did not spend much effort to successfully construct a beautiful future for the ignorant artifact spirit.

【What is... *cough cough*.】

"After all these years, I never realized that sister was so in-no-cent~"

"This world has not yet reached true civilization, unless artifact spirits also receive the rights they deserve!"

"Is this my problem?"

"When it comes down to it, wasn't that an accident? Huh?"

Grabbing the dummy's shoulders and shaking them forcefully, she muttered with a conflicted expression:

"You tell me! What exactly should I do!?"
