144: Thanks to Dr. Chen

Yu Gang was indeed learned and talented, knowing some secrets that many others did not.

For example, immortal spirit grass, which is a relatively rare item; it's already extremely difficult for a single plant to appear in one place, but in a certain part of this Small World, it appeared in piles, which was clearly unusual.

Others only thought it was a stroke of great luck, but according to Yu Gang's own judgment, deeper within where the immortal spirit grass grew, there was an even rarer “Spiritual Root” (referring to the root of a divine tree here)!

That's why he made such a big fuss, sending the highly esteemed Dai Dabai and Zhu Zhu to handle the matter.

After the two descended to the Lower Realm, they found that the immortal spirit grass had not yet matured, so they did not dig for the Spiritual Root; after all, they still had to give an explanation to the Zhang Family above.

Thus, with nothing to do, Dai Dabai got bored and wanted to experience being an “Emperor” in advance, which led to the scene just now.

And the original Emperor, Emperor Chen Sui, had no choice but to obey Dai Dabai's request.

After all, how he obtained the throne 20 years ago was crystal clear! If he upset these lords, not only would he die, but their Chen Family would also be absolutely annihilated!

"Zhu Zhu, rest assured, I will give you the grandest wedding, so that the entire Great Chen will cheer for our union," Dai Dabai said affectionately.

But Zhu Zhu, seeing Dai Dabai so deeply immersed in his role, showed even more disdain in her eyes. She really didn't want to play along with him like this; it was too childish!

"Are you done playing? I'm tired, I need to rest," Zhu Zhu said coldly, then turned and left directly, giving Dai Dabai no Face at all.

Dai Dabai was also stunned. He didn't expect that even though he was about to make her his empress, this wretched woman was still so cold! If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be able to learn Fusion skills; who would be so idle as to fawn over her!

However, Dai Dabai quickly understood that Zhu Zhu was most likely still displeased with his previous actions. Even if he had "sincerely repented," she still disliked him.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit unwilling. This wretched woman was different from all the women he had known before; he completely didn't know how to please her.

However, the abdication ceremony was still ongoing at this moment, and he couldn't chase after her! Otherwise, he didn't know how these natives would mock him behind his back!

"Cough, cough, the Empress is feeling a bit unwell today and has left early. All officials, please don't mind it; let us continue."

"So the Empress is unwell, she should indeed rest more!" Everyone echoed.

"Alright, now that the Empress has been conferred, I have one more matter to inform all of you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"That is concerning your various Sects." As soon as he said this, the people from the various Sects felt a little nervous.

"Sect? Our Sect is..."

"I hear that the Sect Tournament jointly organized by your Sects will begin soon. I am very interested in this, so I hope... your tournament this time will be held here!" Dai Dabai pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"This..." Everyone hesitated a little.

"What, are you unwilling?"

"Your Majesty, the Sect Tournament has always been held within the Sects. Moving it here so abruptly might be undignified!" an old man said.

"I am merely asking for it to be held in my Imperial Palace. How is that undignified?"

"No, Your Majesty, we do not mean that. It's just that the Sect Tournament is an important annual gathering for our various Sects. If it is held here, it might not be grand enough."

"Indeed, but I believe that a Sect Tournament held in the Imperial Palace will be even more meaningful. This way, we can show the entire world that the Imperial Palace is a place that prospers together with the various Sects."

"..."

"Your Majesty speaks wisely." They simply stopped saying more.

Although they were unclear about Dai Dabai's identity, since he could make everyone in the Chen Family not dare to object, he naturally had his own strength.

"Since that is the case, then the Sect Tournament will be held in my Imperial Palace. I hope you can invite more Sects to attend. I will personally preside over this tournament, and at that time, your various Sects can display your strength to other Sects."

"At the same time, I will also give a huge reward to the winner!"

"Very well, Your Majesty, we will certainly follow your instructions when we return."

"Excellent, then, I await the arrival of your various Sects. Of course, if any Sect is not very cooperative, you may report it to me!"

"Yes!"

"Come, bring the singing girls! I wish to drink freely with all officials now!"

...

"Empress, this is your sleeping quarters. You will reside here from now on," a eunuch respectfully introduced to Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu looked at the Splendid Moon Palace before her. Although it couldn't compare to her estate in the Zhu Family, it could still be considered magnificent.

"You may leave first; I wish to be alone for a while," Zhu Zhu instructed faintly.

"As you command, Empress," the eunuch retreated.

Zhu Zhu walked into the sleeping quarters alone and slowly closed the door. She sat before the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, her heart filled with complex emotions.

After a long while, she finally adjusted herself.

Life still had to go on. Even if she hated that scumbag, for the sake of her Family, she had to... sigh!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but feel a little down, so she began to stroll through the Royal harem.

But as she walked, she found a man and a woman conversing in a pavilion not far away. The man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was also incredibly beautiful, with a noble demeanor.

However, at this moment, both of their eyes were completely fixed on each other, and she didn't know what they were discussing.

"How strange. Logically, all of Emperor Emperor Chen Sui's people should have withdrawn by now, so why are these two so leisurely at this moment?"

"And looking at their demeanor, they definitely don't seem like ordinary people!" Muttering to herself, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but feel curious and took a few steps closer.

"Madam Shen, your injuries are now stable. As long as I perform acupuncture for you a few more times in the future, I believe you will fully recover," Chen Xuan said solemnly.

The celebration over there was too boring; it was much more interesting to come and accompany this charming Madam.

"Mm-hmm, this is all thanks to Imperial Physician Chen. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Oh, Madam Shen, what are you saying? This is merely my duty, after all, you are the Empress Dowager's sister, aren't you?"

"Is it... only because of this?" Shen Xirou whispered.
