54: The other way around!

"Empress Mother?" Ji Youyu looked at the sedan chair, her eyes revealing intense emotional fluctuations: "If he goes up, can Empress Mother ensure his safety?"

As these words fell, the Empress in the sedan chair also spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Everyone present is a friend of our Tianwu Empire. Are you worried that our friends will do something bad to our people?"

Hearing the words of the Empress in the sedan chair, not only was Ji Youyu frowning, but Lin Feng also furrowed his brows.

This Empress, as the ruler of a country, instead of standing firm against the pressing powers, seemed to be groveling.

Seeing that the situation was a bit tense, Lin Feng patted Ji Youyu's shoulder: "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety."

At this point, he also had to step forward, otherwise Ji Youyu and the Empress would have no way to back down gracefully.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng was the fourth to walk onto the high platform.

"The competition begins."

On the high platform.

The men from the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom and the Northern Regions Xiongnu, one played a zither, and the other blew a horn.

And Yuan Kaiduo from the Demon Path, danced with a long spear.

Everyone's eyes passed over the three handsome men on the stage, and finally, their gaze fell upon Lin Feng.

"Sigh." Sighing, Lin Feng glanced at the women around him, placed his hand on his mask, and slowly removed it.

When the face of this Man, like that of a banished immortal, was revealed, all the women on the scene felt their hearts skip a beat.

The Myriad Phase Mirror in the sky.

At this moment, it was like brushing data, frantically adding points to Lin Feng through everyone's facial expressions.

Before long, Lin Feng's score far surpassed the other three, even breaking the record he himself set yesterday!

Lin Feng didn't want to rely on his looks, but alas... these people were too shallow.

"I have lived for thousands of years, and I have never seen such exquisite beauty!" The Sect Leader of the Black Snake Sect, her snake-like face full of amazement.

The pink pupils of the Joyful Union Sect Sect Leader, however, revealed intense lust: "With the physique of a cultivation vessel and such handsomeness, I want this Man."

"Which Man doesn't want such a Man?" The seductive fox beside her crossed her legs, as if rubbing something.

After an hour.

Undoubtedly, Lin Feng, who did nothing, won first place among the Xiu Nan, securing a precious month for the Tianwu Empire!

"Ding ~ Host task completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one level eight lottery chance."

The eyes of most of the surrounding people were still fixed on Lin Feng.

The competition was over.

However, his situation began to worsen.

Under the strict protection of Ji Youyu, Lin Feng left under the covetous gazes of the other Imperial Princesses and those Demon Cultivators.

Watching the departing Lin Feng, Yuan Kaiduo's gaze on the scene gradually darkened, followed by a sneer, not knowing what he was thinking.

After returning to Ji Youyu's courtyard, Lin Feng was locked in the room by Ji Youyu.

"I need to go to the Imperial Palace to meet Empress Mother, you absolutely must not step out of the room!"

Ji Youyu left these words, and at the same time left Eunuch Li, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, here as a guard.

Lin Feng was helpless about this.

He then watched the art films on the System to pass the time.

... ...

Evening.

Ji Youyu did not return with a good mood.

Appearing at Lin Feng's door instead was a eunuch with purple lips and silver hair.

This eunuch was not Ji Youyu's Eunuch Li.

Through the information in his memory, Lin Feng recognized that this was Eunuch Zhao, who served the Empress.

Behind Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Li, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, had already fainted on the ground!

"Lin Feng, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence, come with this Old Servant."

"What is it?" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, not thinking the other party was a good person.

"Come with this Old Servant, and after meeting Your Majesty, you will naturally know."

Eunuch Zhao did not have a negotiating tone.

With a flick of his whisk, Lin Feng fainted.

Lifting Lin Feng, Eunuch Zhao left directly.

The room fell silent...

A few minutes later, with a spatial ripple, Ye Tian's figure appeared in the room.

Looking in the direction Eunuch Zhao left, Ye Tian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Everything is within expectations. It seems that my System's prediction function can be attempted to be activated after the end of this World."

As he spoke, a piece of paper appeared in Ye Tian's hand.

After confirming that the content was correct, he placed it on the desk in Lin Feng's room.

... ...

When Lin Feng slowly woke up,

There were two people in front of him.

One was Eunuch Zhao, and the other was an old woman with a wrinkled face.

The appearance of this old woman was truly devoid of any beauty.

Her pale skin, coupled with those dead fish-like eyes, could completely scare a child into stopping crying.

Clearly, this old woman was the current Empress.

No wonder, no wonder she sat in the sedan chair during both viewings of the competition, this appearance was truly ugly.

"Are you Lin Feng?" The Empress blew on the tea in her hand: "Today you won first place among the Xiu Nan for me, very good!"

Saying that, the Empress waved her hand at Eunuch Zhao.

Then, Eunuch Zhao presented a tray, and on the tray, there were a hundred taels of gold.

Looking at the contents of the tray, Lin Feng was stunned.

A hundred taels of gold? The value of these mundane things was not even as much as a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.

He won such a crucial competition today, and this was the reward?

Actually, there was no need for a reward, Lin Feng didn't care.

What he wanted to know was why the other party had kidnapped him here behind Ji Youyu's back.

"Your Majesty the Empress, did you bring me here just for this?"

"Indeed, as expected of the most beautiful Man in our Empire, you think of many things." The old woman looked at Lin Feng: "Actually, I have another task for you."

"What is it?"

The Empress put down her tea and slowly said: "Tomorrow, our two friendly countries and those friends from the Demon Path will be leaving. I want you to entertain them tonight."

"Entertain them?" Lin Feng didn't understand: "Did they specifically ask for it by name?"

The old woman shook her head: "I saw that they were unhappy after losing today, so I took it upon myself to ask you to accompany them and make them happy."

"Lin Feng, don't blame me, this is also for our Tianwu Empire."

"Simply absurd." Lin Feng couldn't understand what kind of bootlicker was in this old woman's head.

As the ruler of a country, her spine was softer than a caterpillar's.

"Hmm? How dare you talk back to Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhao beside her glared.

"Take him away and give him the medicine." The Empress waved her hand at Eunuch Zhao, she was not discussing with Lin Feng, but informing him.

... ...

... ...

The night was slightly cool.

Ji Youyu returned to her courtyard in a bad mood.

The entire afternoon, which should have been the time for her to be conferred as the Imperial Daughter, she didn't even see the Empress.

The other party seemed to be playing dumb again and breaking her promise.

Yes, she was going to break her promise again.

This stepmother, who came later, probably never thought of giving the position of Imperial Daughter to her lineage!

Although she was mentally prepared, Ji Youyu's heart was still full of disappointment.

Fortunately, she had Lin Feng, this handsome Man, who could soothe her body and mind and lift her spirits.

To give Lin Feng the best, she would not give up the position of Imperial Daughter!

She went straight to Lin Feng's door.

When she saw Eunuch Li lying on the ground unconscious and the wide-open door, Ji Youyu's heart sank.

She quickly ran into the room.

Lin Feng was not there!

She kicked the unconscious Eunuch Li hard twice, and only then did he slowly wake up.

"What's going on? Where's Lin Feng?!"

"Your Prince, Your Prince, please forgive this Old Servant. This Old Servant was not careful enough and let Eunuch Zhao take Young Master Lin!"

Eunuch Li knelt on the ground, his face full of panic.

"Eunuch Zhao?!" Hearing this name, Ji Youyu's heart jumped, and the hidden True Qi on her body surged constantly.

"Your Prince, over there, it seems like there's a letter left by Young Master Lin."

Eunuch Li glanced at Lin Feng's room and clearly spotted a piece of paper.

Hearing this, Ji Youyu quickly picked up the paper.

'Qing Youyu, by the time you see this letter, I should already be dead.'

"No!" Seeing the first sentence on the paper, Ji Youyu's emotions were on the verge of losing control.

Suppressing the fear and unease in her heart, Ji Youyu continued to read.

'Yesterday, I already met with the Empress Mother. She said I was very handsome and the most desired sacrifice for the Myriad Phase Mirror, the national artifact.'

"As long as I am willing to become a sacrifice, the Sacred Artifact will transform! The Tianwu Empire can regain its glory!"

"She promised that if I agreed to be sacrificed, she would pass the position of Imperial Daughter to you, otherwise, she would unite with the other Imperial Princesses to eliminate you."

"You should know by now, I agreed. I hope you live, and I... trading for you is definitely worth it."

"No! It's not like this! How can you be so foolish, how could they kill me!" Tears welled up in Ji Youyu's eyes.

She hadn't expected the Empress Mother to do such a thing, and even less that Lin Feng was so infatuated with her that he would die for her!

Heartache, rage, and finally, madness was born!

Her emotions fluctuated to the extreme, and the True Qi on Ji Youyu's body constantly exploded, breaking through layer after layer of restraints that concealed her strength!

Golden Core third heaven, Golden Core fifth heaven... Nascent Soul first transformation, Nascent Soul second transformation... Divine Transformation!

The strength that had been hidden for ten years, hidden for ten years, at this moment, under Ji Youyu's loss of control, completely broke through!

Eunuch Li beside her widened his eyes, not daring to make a sound.

"Gather our two hundred thousand Imperial Guards, recall the fifty thousand Brocade Clad Guards, and everyone on our side in the court!"

Ji Youyu had already ground her silver teeth: "Ji Tongshan, originally, considering old feelings and the state of the country, I could still wait for you to step down."

"But now, you have touched my reverse scale, then I will rebel!!"
