Chapter 30 First Night in My Dreams, the Empress's "Special Training"
Cloud Top Villa.
It truly lived up to its name as the number one residence; the level of luxury here exceeded Jiang Chen's imagination.
It was a three-story detached villa, complete with a temperature-controlled swimming pool and a private garden of several hundred square meters.
Most importantly, it was built upon a micro Spiritual Vein, making the Spiritual Qi in the air so dense it was almost liquefied.
"This is what it means to live like a human being."
Jiang Chen lay on the custom-made three-meter-wide bed in the master bedroom, feeling the constant surge of Spiritual Qi from below, so comfortable that every pore on his body was cheering.
Su Qingyue was busy in the kitchen downstairs.
To celebrate, she insisted on cooking a housewarming meal for Jiang Chen herself (although most of the ingredients were semi-finished products).
"Jiang Chen, dinner is ready!"
Su Qingyue's voice came from downstairs.
After a simple dinner, Su Qingyue did not stay long.
She knew that Jiang Chen had to attend the entrance ceremony and the legendary "Hell" military training tomorrow, so he needed to rest.
"Sleep early, see you tomorrow."
After seeing Su Qingyue off, Jiang Chen locked the doors and windows. In this strange new environment, he could finally begin his "Cultivate" without any worries.
He took the ten-thousand-year warm jade from his bosom and placed it under his pillow, then took out his trophy from the day — the "Thunder Spirit Bead" that was emitting lightning.
"System, how do I use this thing?"
【Ding! It is suggested that the host swallow it (though not recommended, it will cause diarrhea), or... bring it into the dream and sacrifice it to the Empress.】
"Sacrifice?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. "Does she need to eat snacks too?"
【The Empress's power is in a state of Seal, and this high-purity energy bead will help her recover. If she is in a good mood, perhaps she will give you some benefits.】
"Fine. I hope she isn't too greedy."
Jiang Chen grasped the Thunder Spirit Bead, closed his eyes, and activated the skill.
【Dream Link, activated.】
...
His consciousness sank, traversing endless darkness.
When Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the villa's bedroom, but in that familiar underground palace filled with purple mist.
The massive cloud bed he had once materialized was still floating in mid-air.
And on the bed, the abyss Empress, Empress, with a stunning figure and wings on her back, was lying on her side, playing with a cluster of purple flames, looking lazy and arrogant.
Seeing Jiang Chen appear, the Empress's purple eyes slightly shifted, and her red lips parted slightly:
"You're here? My little hug pillow."
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched.
This nickname, no matter how he heard it, sounded awkward.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to deliver a gift." Jiang Chen opened his hands, and the Thunder Spirit Bead in his palm emitted a brilliant blue light.
The Empress glanced at the Thunder Spirit Bead, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, but it immediately turned into amusement: "Low-level thunder essence... although it's a bit trashy, it can barely be used as a marble to play with."
She crooked her finger, and the Thunder Spirit Bead automatically flew into her hand.
*Crack.*
She actually bit the incredibly hard Spirit Bead directly, like eating a candy, and swallowed it.
"The taste is average." The Empress evaluated.
Afterward, she looked at Jiang Chen, a dangerous smile appearing on her face: "Since you are so thoughtful, I cannot be stingy either. I heard you humans are having some... military training tomorrow?"
"Yes." Jiang Chen had an ominous premonition.
"That kind of child's play is too boring."
The Empress stood up, her wings suddenly spreading, and the entire dream space instantly turned into a thunderous Hell.
"Tonight, I will personally give you special training."
"Wait! What are you doing?" Jiang Chen was shocked.
"Since I ate your Thunder Spirit Bead, I naturally have to help you digest it."
The Empress condensed a purple thunder whip in her hand and swung it fiercely, causing the air to explode.
"This night will last a long time in the dream. If you don't want to die, run faster."
"Also... if you can hold on, I will allow you to... sleep while hugging my wings for ten minutes."
*Smack!*
The thunder whip fell.
"Damn it! This is domestic violence!"
Jiang Chen screamed and began a desperate run for his life in this thunder-filled dream world.
Although he was shouting in pain, he could clearly feel that every time he was struck by the thunder, his body in reality was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
His bones were restructuring, his muscles were strengthening, and even his cells were greedily absorbing this high-level energy from the Empress.
This was Hell, and it was also Heaven.
That night, above Cloud Top Villa, lightning faintly flickered, lasting for a long time.
And Jiang Chen's high-martial path, on this first night in the imperial capital, truly began.
