196: Chapter 196 The Empress's PUA! Am I going to go down that path too?!

Immortal music echoed throughout the Family banquet.

The Empress held a cup of immortal wine brewed from ten-thousand-year spirit marrow, sitting silently in a corner with "Keep Away" written all over her cold little face.

The more she watched, the more she felt something was wrong.

innate dao embryo, Primordial Dragon God Body, Battle Saint Physique... these were Heaven-Defying Physiques that would cause countless forces across any Star Domain in the myriad realms to fight to the death.

Logically, any woman possessing such a Physique would be a peerless Prodigy, proud and single-mindedly devoted to the Dao.

But right now, every single one of them was as docile as a kitten, crowding around that man named Su!

"What an absolute waste of God's gifts!"

The Empress thought, getting angrier, "If these Divine-Grade Physiques could focus solely on Cultivation, attaining Sainthood and ruling a region in the future would be effortless! Now they've been reduced to a man's appendages, just to procreate so-called offspring? It's simply too wasteful!"

The "Emperor's appreciation for talent" that had been dormant in her heart for a hundred thousand years began to burn fiercely.

She felt she had the duty and responsibility to "wake up" these peerless prodigies who had gone astray and rescue them from the "grave of love"!

Thus, she approached her first target, Tantai Mingyue, who seemed the most naive and had just recently achieved Ascension.

Holding her wine cup, the Empress walked over to Tantai Mingyue with proud steps, speaking coldly in the weary tone of someone who had seen it all:

"Junior of the Star Clan, do not let a man's sweet words blind you. If he can shatter the Heavenly Dao for you today, he can reshape the universe for another woman tomorrow. Only personal strength is the eternal truth."

Tantai Mingyue blinked her galaxy-like eyes, looked at the serious Little Girl, and replied softly, "But... Brother Su is already my greatest backer. Besides, Brother Su promised me that he would help me revive the Star Clan in the future."

The Empress: "You Little Girl, why are you so ungrateful?"

"Look at him with his many wives and concubines; how much of his heart can he truly spend on you?"

"Believe me, with your Aptitude, as long as you are willing to listen to me, the Saint realm is within your reach!"

Tantai Mingyue tilted her head.

"All these sisters are so amazing; I've never thought about competing with them for anything."

"And I'm working hard at my Cultivation now for Brother Su; as long as he doesn't abandon me, I'll follow him forever!"

The Empress was speechless—that "love brain" really is the death of people!!

Seeing that there was no hope for Tantai Mingyue, the Empress silently stood up and moved toward her second target.

"Battle Saint Physique, born to fight! You shouldn't indulge in the comfort of this place. Follow this Empress to conquer the heavens; your war hammer shouldn't just be used to crack walnuts!" the Empress said righteously.

Shen Youchu said indistinctly while gnawing on a Phoenix wing, "Alright then! After I finish this meal, I'll go have a fight with Su Feng! But I can't beat him right now; last time, he pinned me down with just one finger."

The Empress: "..."

The Empress refused to believe it; she felt she must have picked the wrong people. A truly strong person with a firm Dao Heart would never be so "depraved"!

She locked her final targets on Lin Qingxue and Shen Luoyu.

In the Empress's view, one was an innate dao embryo and the other an Innate Yin-Yang Body; both were Physiques closest to the Great Dao Origin.

These two's Dao Hearts must be the firmest in the room!

"Fellow Daoists."

The Empress walked up to them, her expression more solemn than ever. "This Empress can see that your Dao Hearts are stable and you are not ordinary people. In the cultivation world, strength is respected; men only affect the speed at which we draw our swords. If you are willing to follow me, this Empress can help you reach a Breakthrough and arrive at the Saint realm within a thousand years at most!"

To increase her persuasiveness, the Empress extracted two extremely precious Legacy Jade Slips from her Divine Soul's memories.

"These are two top-tier Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques, 'Supreme Heavenly Path' and 'Yin-Yang Infinite Canon'! As long as you Cultivate diligently, your future achievements will be limitless!"

The Empress proudly handed over the Jade Slips.

In her view, these were Heaven-Defying techniques that led straight to the Saint realm!

Throughout the Three Thousand Upper Realms, they would be enough to make Immortal Kings shed blood! They had no reason to refuse!

However, Lin Qingxue only smiled gently and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist. But my husband has already custom-tailored a more suitable Cultivation Technique for me. Moreover, accompanying my husband and children as they grow is, for me, the best form of cultivation."

Shen Luoyu, standing aside, glanced at the Empress coldly. "Little sister, although your techniques are not bad, compared to Dual Cultivation with my husband, I'm afraid they fall far short."

The Empress felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing frozen in place.

She looked at the two Immortal-grade technique Jade Slips that she considered incredibly precious, and then at their "sorry, our Family has better" expressions, feeling her worldview being crushed into the ground once again.

This Su Family... what kind of demon's den is it?!

Is there something wrong with their brains?

I am a dignified Great Emperor!

While she was questioning her life, she noticed Ao Cangyue walking over with Ao Tingxin.

The Empress felt a surge of joy. The Dragon Clan was naturally proud; these two women must have yielded to Su Feng's strength. If she could help them become stronger, given the Dragon Clan's character, they would surely become powerhouses ruling over a region!

"Two Dragon Clan Fellow Daoists, you possess Heaven-Defying Bloodlines and should be soaring through the Nine Heavens. Why humble yourselves in this tiny space?"

"I happen to have a well-preserved ancient secret technique of the Dragon Clan that I can give to you."

"From what I've heard, the Dragon Clan has always been arrogant. I wonder why you two would share one husband?"

The Empress voiced her doubts. This Primordial Dragon God Body combined with the Dragon Clan's powerful physical body made them invincible among those of the same rank.

She really couldn't understand how such Heaven-Defyingly talented Dragon Kings could endure sharing one husband with others!?

The originally gentle Ao Cangyue's expression changed instantly upon hearing the Empress mention sharing a husband, and she hurriedly looked at Ao Tingxin to explain.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is Su Feng's wife!"

Ao Cangyue's impression of the Empress immediately plummeted; who would bring up such a sensitive topic right away?

Heaven knows how hard she had worked to keep it from her daughter?!

Ao Tingxin also looked displeased.

"You are so strange! You don't even know who we are, yet you come over to lecture us!"

"Furthermore, don't talk nonsense about things you don't know. This is my mother. What 'sharing a husband'? If you spread any more rumors, I'll have someone escort you out!!"

The Empress was stunned.

Wait, what??!!

Ao Cangyue's Dantian was almost entirely filled with Su Feng's pure Yang Qi; with her Great Emperor-level remnant Divine Thought, she definitely couldn't have sensed it wrong.

And Su Yuan had just said that except for Tantai Mingyue and Shen Youchu, everyone else was...

"Hiss—"

The Empress clutched her chest and gasped.

This circle...

Is this the depravity of the Family?

She was now absolutely certain that Su Feng was one of those legendary Cauldron Cultivators who practiced the art of "plucking Yin to supplement Yang"!

All her previous conjectures had been confirmed.

"Danger!"

A large red "Danger" character appeared in the Empress's Divine Sense.

But she had already entered Su Feng's Small World!

What if!!!

What if this Su Feng tried to make a move on her?

Did she have the ability to resist?

Was she, a dignified Empress, truly going to have to take that path too?

What should she do???!!
