190: Just call me Junior Sister

“Tang Sirui is here, I guess you’ve reached the Golden Core Bottleneck in your Cultivation, haven’t you?” Jade Master said.

“As expected of Revered Master, you guessed it right!” Tang Sirui complimented.

Having taken care of his father since he was young, he possessed a more mature personality than the average person.

“Haha, what’s there to guess? It’s just a matter of time. You should have reached this Bottleneck by now. As expected of my beloved disciple, your Cultivation has surpassed mine!” Jade Master said with a smile.

“Not at all, a Revered Master for a day is a father for life! Your teachings, Revered Master, Tang Sirui will always remember!” Tang Sirui was very respectful of Jade Master.

“You’re a good kid. Alright, then it’s just the two of us departing this time. I’ve recently screened many Yao Beasts and finally settled on a Demonic Spider!”

“Demonic Spider?”

“That’s right. If you refine it, it will provide a significant boost to your other half of the plant Bloodline, even more powerful than the previous two!”

“Is that true, Master? Is that true?”

“Haha, when have I ever lied to you, Master? Of course, it’s true!”

“That’s great then, when shall we depart?” Tang Sirui said excitedly.

“I’ve already prepared everything, just waiting for you to arrange the time.”

“How about we depart now! Qing Wu, you can wait for me at the Zhang family for now, how about it?”

“But, I want to go with Big Brother too!” Qing Wu naturally didn’t want to stay here alone.

“Don’t worry, Revered Master and I will be back very soon. You can just go into seclusion here, and perhaps we’ll be back before you even come out!”

“Alright then! Since Zhu Zhu is not here, I’ll go play with Ningning!”

“Don’t worry, Qing Wu, calculating the time, it’s almost time for Zhu Zhu and the others I sent to the Lower Realm to return. When you seven are reunited and share the supreme treasure, you will definitely take first place in this Academy Grand Competition!” Jade Master also said.

“Alright then, Revered Master and Brother Tang Sirui, go and come back quickly!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back after I Breakthrough!”

...

On Chen Xuan’s side, his opponent had just forfeited when Dai Dabai invited him over.

“What is it, Your Majesty?”

“You must be very clear about my identity in the Upper Realm, right?”

“Yes, could it be that Your Majesty... is going up?”

“Not right now, but soon. I came to the Lower Realm this time with a mission, and the time is approaching. I just wanted to remind you to lead the Empress Dowager away when the time comes.”

“I see, I understand. Your Majesty can inform me when the day arrives!”

“Good! Good, good, good! You are indeed my most trusted minister! If the matter is successful, I will reward you handsomely!”

“If Your Majesty has nothing else, your humble servant will go back and prepare.”

“Wait!”

“What else does Your Majesty need?”

“The medicine you gave me last time...”

“No problem, no problem. If Your Majesty needs more, just ask your humble servant!” Chen Xuan took out another Storage Pouch and handed it to Dai Dabai.

“Mm! Well done! From now on, you can call me Lao Da! My being emperor here is just a temporary whim. In the Upper Realm, I am just the Lao Da of our team!”

“Lao Da?”

“Mm, I find you very pleasing to the eye now, so I won’t take you as a subordinate. The Empress and I discussed it and decided to give you an immense fortune!”

“An immense fortune!” Chen Xuan pretended to be surprised.

“That’s right, an immense fortune! You’ll know when the time comes! You may leave now.” Dai Dabai kept him in suspense, refusing to say more.

“Your humble servant takes his leave.”

After leaving the Imperial Study, Chen Xuan went straight to the Empress’s sleeping quarters without looking back.

When Zhu Zhu learned that Chen Xuan had come to visit, she suddenly felt a surge of happiness. She herself realized it, but her mood was simply happy and uncontrollable, which she found a bit helpless.

But she still couldn’t resist and received Chen Xuan. She dismissed her maids, inwardly anticipating something to happen.

“Why are you here?” She deliberately put on a stern face.

“Empress, I just delivered some things to His Majesty and came to see you on the way.”

“Oh? What did you deliver?”

“Some Spirit Medicine and tonics. I imagine His Majesty will find them useful.”

“Aren’t you afraid he’ll suspect something?”

“Hm???? Why would he suspect me?”

“You just walked out of the Imperial Study and came straight to my Empress’s sleeping quarters! If someone saw you...”

“Then are you afraid, Empress?” Chen Xuan stood up and took a step closer.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhu’s face flushed slightly, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

“I, why would I be afraid of him! He wouldn’t dare to suspect me, nor would he dare to question me!” Zhu Zhu said proudly.

“Oh? Is that so? Your humble servant hasn’t seen the Empress these past few days and finds the Empress to be a bit strange.”

“Strange?!” Zhu Zhu’s heart tightened.

“You explain yourself, how am I strange?!”

“Strangely beautiful!” Chen Xuan directly embraced the girl’s waist, inhaled, and then exhaled a puff of Qi.

Zhu Zhu found herself losing strength uncontrollably, unable to muster any resistance towards Chen Xuan.

“Let, let go of this Empress!”

“I heard the Emperor say that you two are preparing to give me an immense fortune? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“You, you haven’t been here these past few days, how could I tell you!” Speaking of this, Zhu Zhu felt a little annoyed. She, an Empress, had invited Chen Xuan several times, but he was never in the palace, running off outside to do who knows what!

Moreover, during this Sect Grand Competition, he seemed to be surrounded by many women, which made her feel a little blocked up inside, not knowing why.

“So, what fortune do you have for me? Empress Consort!” Chen Xuan said, directly placing the girl on his lap and gently stroking her beautiful hair.

The girl trembled all over, then let Chen Xuan do as he pleased.

“Actually, actually it’s nothing, it’s just that I didn’t want you to be his subordinate, so, so I told him...”

“Told him what?”

“Just that I wanted you to join our team too!”

“Your team? You mean...!”

“Mm, after all, our team doesn’t have a proper doctor yet, and you can just fill that empty spot! I took the liberty of asking him to recommend you to join our team!”

“Oh? So my Empress Baby cares about me so much?” Chen Xuan chuckled.

“Who, who cares about you!” Zhu Zhu said coquettishly, “If you’re unwilling, I’ll send a message back to that Dai Dabai fellow right away!”

“Don’t be like that, I just like your kind of personality.” Chen Xuan said with a grin, “Since that’s the case, seeing how much you want me to join, I’ll reluctantly join your team then!”

Zhu Zhu smiled, saying somewhat proudly, “That’s more like it!”

“Also, don’t call me Empress Baby. You’re older than me. From now on, call me Junior Sister!”
