Empress, don't make trouble, I'm really a gentleman

He suppressed his beating heart, turned around slowly, and looked carefully.

It was a huge figure, a little stooped, and an astonishing height of more than three meters.

At this moment, the giant is bending over and watering the flowers and plants.

It's just strange that he kept the watering posture, but no water splashed down.

Seeing the giant clearly, Ji Wuchen heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hey! Clean up all the things in the underworld, there are no statues lying around!"

It turned out to be just a sculpture.

The sculpture is so real and vivid, even the folds of the clothes are carefully carved, and the color selection is also very particular. At first glance, I really thought it was a living person.

Ji Wuchen walked over slowly, wanting to see more clearly.

The statue is bowed, with no face visible.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Wuchen poked his head out to look at the front of the sculpture.

Seeing this, he was taken aback again, and was so startled that he took two or three steps back, almost tripping over the flower bed.

The shape of the statue is realistic. I thought the front face would be like this, but I didn't expect that the front face of this sculpture is quite exaggerated and abstract.

Scarlet eyes, pale face, blood red lips, simple color contrast and collision, bring a strong sense of visual impact.

The most creepy thing is that this ghost's expression is too exaggerated, no matter how you look at that weird and distorted smile, it feels eerie and terrifying.

I don't know what kind of psychopathic craftsman can design this kind of thing.

"It can scare children to cry."

Commenting with lingering fear, when Ji Wuchen closed his eyes, that weird and distorted smiling face appeared in his mind.

It can be called mental pollution.

"I'm going to have nightmares..."

Sighing, he looked worried.

Xiaomeng didn't dare to look at the sculpture's face, and kept hiding behind Ji Wuchen, covering her eyes with her white and tender hands, but this did not prevent her from despising the latter.

"coward!"

Little Lolita was cowardly and arrogant, whispered a word of contempt, and quickly ran back to the space ring, as if fleeing.

Woohoo, it's too scary...Although I haven't seen anything, I still feel so scared...

Ji Wuchen was speechless for a while.

You still laugh at my timidity just because of your small appearance?What a world!
I complained in my heart, but I couldn't say it out of my mouth, otherwise I would be avenged by the little Lolita.

Sighing, Ji Wuchen continued to move forward.

The garden is also very large, and it is full of flowers at a glance, colorful and endless.

After walking for a long time, I saw a delicate arch. Behind the arch is still a strange long corridor. I don't know what is at the end of the corridor.

In this garden, Ji Wuchen found a lot of tall sculptures hidden in the sea of ​​flowers, eunuchs and court ladies, all of them bowed to take care of the flowers and plants, with distorted faces.

I don't know why, although Ji Wuchen didn't feel threatened by these statues, Ji Wuchen felt uncomfortable for a while, a little... scared.

This thing is too weird, how can anyone look like this!
Taking a deep look at the corridor, he didn't choose to go in directly, but turned around and left.

It's better to go with Qinglong and others here, it would be bad if he was trapped inside, Qinglong and the others would not be the opponents of the people in Xianmen.

Walking back quickly, after passing by countless weird sculptures, Ji Wuchen didn't turn his head, and walked in a hurry.

He didn't notice that when he passed by those sculptures, the crimson eyes quietly turned on the strangely twisted faces of the sculptures, staring carefully at his back.

……

three days later.

"It doesn't matter, if there are benefits here, you should seize the time to fight for it. What are you afraid of wasting time? Are we short of time? There is still a long time before the closure of the secret realm. Practice with peace of mind. This is also an opportunity!"

Ji Wuchen scolded Qinglong.

This guy couldn't stand it after three days of practice, and wanted to explore deeper places.

Suzaku whispered: "But, we are worried that it will delay the master's important business."

They don't know what tasks Ji Wuchen has to do, but there must be tasks, otherwise the empress wouldn't have had so many talks with him alone.

Actually, the Empress called him to the palace not necessarily for official business, this thing... ahem.

Ji Wuchen said with a smile: "What big thing can I do? My big thing is to make you stronger quickly, and continue to practice, be good."

This palace is really quite extraordinary. After three days of practice, the two have fully recovered from their injuries, and their strength has also improved a lot.

"correct."

He seemed to remember something.

"Suzaku, take this medicine. It will greatly improve your cultivation. You should try to raise yourself to a seventh-rank master, otherwise the next expedition may... be a bit dangerous for you."

As he spoke, he took out a delicate jade box from his arms.

Suzaku was stunned for a moment, then quickly refused:
"No, no, no! This is too precious, it's not suitable for servants to use."

Ji Wuchen feigned anger.

"What are you talking about! Didn't I collect these things so hard for you to use! Qinglong will become a third-tier middle class if he breaks through again, otherwise I will use it for him!"

As he spoke, he deliberately threw the jade box into Suzaku's arms.

The secret realm has its restrictions, and those who are at the third rank or above cannot enter it. If you break through the secret realm, it's fine, at most you can't go back.

Therefore, no one is willing to take the risk of not being able to go back and break through in the secret realm.

Suzaku was a little moved, lowered his head, said yes in a low voice, and opened the jade box.

The astonishing medicinal scent spread, but the first thing that caught the eye was not a medicinal herb, but a bright red flower.

"This is!"

She was taken aback, her beautiful eyes were full of astonishment, she looked at Ji Wuchen.

A certain person blushed slightly, turned his gaze elsewhere, and explained a little unnaturally:
"Well, there is a big garden behind the palace. I think the flowers in it are quite beautiful, so I picked some...for you."

Suzaku also blushed, and could hardly believe her ears.

Master... send me flowers?

he……

She blushed even more. She was a murderous female devil, but now she looked like a young girl in love, extremely shy.

Qinglong coughed, feeling that it was unnecessary for him to appear here.

He consciously moved away from the two of them, and sat cross-legged with his back to them.

Ji Wuchen called him: "Why are you hiding! Come quickly, I have a gift for you too."

Qinglong's expression froze, and he turned his head very slowly.

Sending flowers represents a promise of love in the traditional etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty, and is usually given by a man to the person he likes.

And he...

"Team...Captain...I don't want to spend!"

Qinglong stuttered a little nervously.

It's true that I'm a dead man, but a dead man can't, can't you do this?

Ji Wuchen saw the boy's thoughts at a glance, and immediately went into a rage: "Your sister! What are you thinking all day long! I'll give you a dagger! Damn! Every day I take a rolled blade and shake it, I can't afford to throw it away!" This man!"

He took out a brand new dagger from his pocket and threw it straight over.

Qinglong quickly caught it, feeling a little embarrassed.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, er, fortunately it was a misunderstanding.
