650: Is this a minor quirk, or is it another case of the dual cultivation path being blamed?

Only ten days had passed since Su Chen and the Empress separated, yet she used the same excuse to ask him out again.

The two of them sat in Biyao Palace once more to discuss the Dao.

This time, it was still just Su Chen speaking.

Halfway through the discussion, the Empress slowly stood up, her expression cold and proud.

"Senior, would you like something to drink?"

Su Chen shook his head indifferently. "No need."

"No." The Empress suddenly interrupted him, her tone brook no argument as she said, "You want to drink."

Uh, this...!

Looking at the Empress's cold and haughty face, Su Chen couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although the Empress looked unapproachable and very cold, her tone wasn't that harsh. In other words, while these words were clearly overbearing and unreasonable, they sounded a bit like... flirting.

It was like a little wife acting spoiled in a different way.

Su Chen's throat felt dry. "I'm not thirsty!"

A flash of excitement crossed the Empress's eyes because she noticed that Su Chen wasn't actually angry; even his expression was slightly unusual.

It can work!

The Empress immediately went to pour a cup of her specially prepared Immortal Liquid and placed it in front of Su Chen. "Drink."

Su Chen felt truly helpless.

You're playing with fire!

The Dao of Dual Cultivation within his body was surging wildly. Su Chen felt as if his emotions were on the verge of losing control at any moment.

Seeing that Su Chen wasn't moving, the Empress's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her cold and proud demeanor. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "I command you to drink it right now!"

Su Chen's hand trembled slightly.

For some reason, the Empress's appearance made him feel she was somewhat cute.

Because Su Chen knew what state the Empress was currently in; she was using this method to pique his curiosity and his desire for her.

The Empress was not a child; she was someone who had held a high position for a long time, so her thoughts were certainly not that simple.

The Empress had been watching Su Chen all along. Over the past few days, she had been frantically investigating men's preferences and had gained a general understanding.

For example, some men just liked this kind of feeling.

The Empress was also experimenting; anyway, she had thought it through.

Since she had already fallen, she might as well go all the way.

If Su Chen became unhappy, she would just lay all her cards on the table.

Su Chen turned his head to look at the Empress's water cup, and finally took it, drained it in one gulp, then stood up and fled as if for his life. He swore he had never been so disheveled in his life.

Although Su Chen liked women, he also had his own bottom line.

This kind of thing... was too difficult.

He always felt it wasn't right.

Su Chen didn't continue to stay in the palace; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back one day.

He left the palace and found a luxurious restaurant in the Imperial City to stay in. Su Chen liked peace and quiet, so he booked the entire restaurant.

He thought the matter would end there, but the Empress came looking for him again.

She appeared directly in Su Chen's room, completely indifferent to whether Su Chen minded or not.

Through their previous encounters, she discovered that Su Chen didn't reject her, and he seemed to tolerate many of the things she did. Thus, the current Empress became increasingly haughty.

She felt that since she had chosen a path, she would follow it to the end.

Su Chen looked at the Empress and finally sighed helplessly, "Li Qingyue..."

"I don't want to hear it!"

The Empress immediately stopped him coldly. She stepped forward slowly toward Su Chen, her eyes filled with a strong desire for possession.

The Empress said with a cold expression, "You are not allowed to refuse me!"

"As for that girl Li Qingyue..."

As she spoke, a flush appeared on her face, but it quickly returned to normal.

"Ignore her!!"

Holy cow.

So overbearing?

Su Chen was also shocked by the Empress.

At this moment, the desire for possession in the Empress's heart reached its peak, even making her feel somewhat irrational. With the current strength of the Dao of Dual Cultivation, it was actually quite difficult to completely influence an Immortal Venerable.

Su Chen was very clear about this in his heart.

So the Empress developing into her current state wasn't necessarily all the fault of the Dao of Dual Cultivation; it was very likely that the Empress truly liked him, and the Dao of Dual Cultivation was just pushing things along.

Su Chen sighed helplessly.

Fine!

He had already given up resisting.

This was the most overbearing woman Su Chen had ever seen. While other women had been overbearing in front of others, they were all very obedient in front of him. Only this Empress remained like this.

Incredibly overbearing.

Time passed quickly.

Three to five days later.

The Empress's face was slightly flushed, but it quickly returned to normal. "You are not allowed to tell Qingyue about today's events!"

Su Chen looked at the Empress with a playful gaze.

"The contrast is really big."

The Empress was suddenly a bit at a loss. She naturally understood what kind of contrast Su Chen was talking about; it was nothing more than how she was during... that kind of thing just now.

She quickly adjusted her emotions, turned around, and disappeared from the room.

Su Chen had thought the Empress really didn't care about Li Qingyue's thoughts at all, but it seemed she still did. However, since the Empress said to keep it a secret, he naturally wouldn't mention it.

Su Chen thought the Empress would settle down after this, but that night she came running back again. She was dressed a bit more lightly, but still in that white long dress.

She stepped through the Void Realm, her pair of fair and tender jade feet standing firm.

After the Empress arrived, a blush appeared on her face. "If you agree to one request of mine, I will also agree to one of yours, okay?"

A request?

What request?

Su Chen was full of confusion but still nodded in agreement. A flash of excitement immediately surged deep within the Empress's eyes, and she leaned into Su Chen's ear to whisper a few words.

Su Chen's eyes suddenly widened. "Ah!?"

...
