Chapter 169: The Empress's First Kiss Is Gone

The moment Xu Chen approached the Imperial Palace, the Dark Guard informed the Empress. A sharp light flashed in the Empress's eyes: "He has come?"

She did not care why Xu Chen had come, but his arrival was a good thing for her. The Dark Guard nodded: "He is outside the Imperial Palace, requesting your audience."

The Empress spoke with slight anger: "Does he need to wait? From now on, when Xu Chen comes, he need not wait and may see me directly. Never mind, I, the Emperor, will go see him myself. Tell me, is this outfit of mine suitable?" Just as she was about to leave, the Empress suddenly asked.

An Wei was stunned; could she possibly say no? Therefore, she immediately said: "The Empress possesses the bearing of a celestial being; paired with this noble attire, no one under heaven can surpass you." Hearing this, the Empress instantly became much more confident: "That is good."

Having spoken, Luo Shen vanished from her room, leaving only a faint lingering fragrance. An Wei clicked her tongue; was it really necessary for the Empress to be so excited?

She had never seen such a thing before; this was truly quite outrageous. Soon, the Empress arrived outside the Imperial Palace and saw Xu Chen. She adjusted her clothes, and the cold expression instantly faded.

A touch of tenderness climbed onto her face, her red lips curved slightly, and she wore a warm smile.

Then, she moved with lotus steps, hands placed at her waist, looking exactly like a well-bred young lady. When she saw Xu Chen, Xu Chen also saw her.

She smiled charmingly, like the moon hiding in shame and flowers blushing: "Xu Chen, why have you come today?" Xu Chen was startled on the spot; damn, is this the Empress?

If one didn't know, I would have thought a well-bred young lady from some family in 09 had arrived. This was full of delicacy and tenderness, with no dominance or coldness at all. Xu Chen was stunned: "Empress, do you have a fever?"

Luo Shen pouted: "No."

She secretly felt ashamed and annoyed; this person simply did not understand romance.

Xu Chen felt relieved, then asked: "Empress, I plan to enter seclusion for half a month soon; may I request an advance on some resources?"

Hearing this, the Empress instantly thought that Xu Chen might want to strengthen his power due to the Puppet plot. Therefore, she said: "What kind of resources do you need?"

Xu Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "About three hundred thousand Spirit Stones; within half a month, I may need to absorb that much."

The Xuegong has some too, but it cannot withstand my consumption like this, so I wanted to ask you, Empress." The Empress smiled and pointed to her own cheeks on both sides, and her red lips: "Here." Xu Chen: "…………" Damn! The Empress is truly well-informed; she knows even this? However, for the sake of advancing, he could make a sacrifice. Therefore, Xu Chen gave the Empress a satisfactory answer and even added an extra kiss.

The Empress's face turned red with shame: "Although it is not your first kiss, it is my first kiss; I am happy." Xu Chen was numb, baring his teeth: "Empress, may you give me three hundred thousand Spirit Stones?" When he was rushing to Cold Ice and Flame Valley and Xingyun Forest, he had also seized some Spirit Stones from the Wan Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect.

But that was only about one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, completely insufficient. The Empress laughed cheerfully: "Chen, have you ever heard of the Tianzun Dynasty's 'Tianling Juqi Ta'?" Xu Chen nodded: "I have heard of it; there are nine floors in total, each containing a vast amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Qi. There are also nine Top-grade Ninth-rank Spirit Gathering Arrays surrounding it, so the tower is perpetually filled with thick Spiritual Qi mist, even to the point of water droplets. However, is the Tianling Juqi Ta not reserved only for members of the imperial family or those who have made major contributions to the Tianzun Dynasty?"

The Empress smiled: "If you become my Imperial Consort, you can enter at any time."

However, even if you are not, it does not matter; I will simply issue an edict to campaign against the Wan Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect."

"In this way, the Alliance will receive recognition from the Imperial Dynasty; as the Young Alliance Leader, you will naturally be considered a person who has made a major contribution." Xu Chen clasped his hands: "Then I thank the Empress."

The Empress's face was full of tenderness: "Do not speak of thanks; use actual deeds in the future." Xu Chen coughed; no, if I act again, the System will warn me. He said: "How can I enter the Tianling Juqi Ta?"

The Empress pouted and muttered: "You hold my Qi Gathering Tower Token and enter it." Having spoken, the Empress handed Xu Chen a purple-gold token, representing the highest nobility. The Empress said: "The Tower Tokens are divided into four types. The Copper Token is given to those who have made contributions to the Imperial Dynasty, often ministers or generals. The Silver Token requires no contribution, but one is born into the royal nobility, such as the son of a prince or the son of a minister."
