Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Misunderstanding?

Lanling Emperor's exquisite face was flushed with shame and anger, her eyes bursting with killing intent.

This servant was truly audacious, clearly barging in deliberately.

Even now, he was still looking at her.

Lanling Emperor instantly covered her body with Divine Law True Qi, concealing her beautiful figure. Almost simultaneously, she burst out of the tub, her slender fingers locking onto Jun Wuxie's neck like iron pincers.

Her speed was extremely fast, and the domain of a True God Absolute Heaven Realm expert was released, enveloping the entire room.

She firmly believed that the other party would not have any power to resist.

She had seen all the True God Absolute Heaven Realm experts in the Imperial City.

The person disguised as a eunuch in front of her must have been sent by Lanling King, but was definitely not a True God Extreme Heaven Realm expert.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Things are not what you think. I actually didn't see anything."

Seeing that she had entered berserk mode, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but explain, while also very skillfully avoiding her beautiful hand just as it was about to lock onto his neck.

Lanling Emperor was shocked that he had actually dodged it, and her killing intent became even stronger.

It seemed that this person might be a True God Absolute Heaven Realm expert secretly cultivated by Lanling King.

If she allowed him to leave the palace alive today, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Once Lanling King confirmed that she was a woman, he would definitely spread the news throughout the world.

The Lanling Dynasty had never had a female emperor, and the world would probably find it difficult to accept.

At that time, if Lanling King took the opportunity to create momentum, her throne would be in danger, the royal family might suffer a catastrophe, and the country would fall into the hands of that rebellious traitor.

Lanling Emperor attacked frantically, while Jun Wuxie dodged and explained, indicating that he was not Lanling King's man.

However, how could Lanling Emperor possibly believe him under such circumstances?

Her offensive momentum did not slow down at all, but instead became even more fierce.

Due to the limited space here, their range of movement was also very small, and they were completely engaged in close combat.

Of course, strictly speaking, it was not a fight.

Because the entire process was Lanling Emperor attacking, while Jun Wuxie simply dodged and did not fight back.

Although his strength was much stronger than Lanling Emperor, the space here was really limited, and behind him was the screen.

Once he bumped into the screen and made a loud noise, it would inevitably alarm the female guards outside.

At that time, if the female guards rushed in, it might even alarm other guards.

He couldn't reveal that he had come here to see Lanling Emperor, lest it reach Lanling King's ears and cause complications for what he wanted to do later.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I am not Lanling King's man.

I have come to you today with something very important.

Stop it now, don't push your luck.

If you don't stop, I'm going to fight back."

Having her body seen by a strange man, Lanling Emperor, already in a fit of anger, felt even more ashamed and indignant when she heard him say that she was pushing her luck, and her anger surged even higher.

"This emperor must tear you into pieces today!"

She bit her pearly teeth tightly, deliberately lowering her voice as she spoke.

Obviously, she didn't want the guards outside to hear and rush in.

After all, her current situation was too embarrassing. She wasn't wearing any clothes and was still using True Qi to cover her body.

"I'm really going to fight back."

Jun Wuxie was very helpless, and couldn't let her continue, otherwise, if she became angry and lost her mind, or accidentally made a big noise, it would be bad.

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out while dodging, accurately grabbing Lanling Emperor's left wrist.

Lanling Emperor yanked her hand violently, but couldn't break free. Her right hand formed a sword finger and stabbed directly at Jun Wuxie's brow.

As a result, her right hand was also grabbed by Jun Wuxie.

Immediately afterwards, Lanling King bent her knee and aimed it between his legs.

Jun Wuxie raised his eyebrows and arched his back, avoiding the knee that was coming at him.

Lanling Emperor took the opportunity to kick with her white and tender feet, but Jun Wuxie's legs firmly clamped them.

"Let go of this emperor!"

Lanling Emperor was filled with shame and indignation. In her eyes, besides anger and killing intent, there was also an unspeakable humiliation.

For her, who cherished her chastity, at this moment, she even had the heart to die.

She had never imagined that she, the dignified empress, a True God Absolute Heaven Realm expert, would be subdued by a thief in her palace bathroom in such a shameful posture.

"If you don't let go, be careful this emperor will punish your nine generations!"

She threatened coldly, and the accumulated power suddenly exploded.

This struggle caused Jun Wuxie, who had relaxed a little, worried about hurting her wrists and tender ankles, to sway slightly.

Lanling Emperor, due to excessive force, took his entire body backwards.

With a thud, the two of them fell into the steaming tub together, splashing a large amount of water.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The voice of Feng Ling, the leader of the Phoenix Guards, came from outside.

Her heroic and compelling beautiful eyes stared at the palace gate.

Why hasn't that little eunuch come out yet?

Lanling Emperor was startled, cleared her throat, adjusted her emotions, and said lazily in a low voice: "I'm fine, I just personally cleaned up an ignorant little servant."

"Does Your Majesty want Feng Ling to come in now and drag the body away?"

"No need, don't disturb my bath.

After I finish bathing, I will let you come in and clean up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Ling stopped talking, turned her back to the door, held her sword, and stood upright.

……

Inside the palace, in the large tub behind the screen, Lanling Emperor was pressed into the tub by Jun Wuxie.

The two bodies were in zero-distance contact, face to face, their breaths spraying on each other's faces.

Although Lanling Emperor felt incomparable humiliation and anger.

But at this moment, she knew that she needed to calm down, otherwise she would not be able to break this situation.

"Tell me, what benefits did Lanling King promise you?

Although this emperor can't see through your realm, I think you should be a True God Absolute Heaven Realm.

This emperor is also in this realm, and prides myself on being talented, but you are much stronger than me.

With your talent, are you really willing to live under someone else's roof, relying on others, and become Lanling King's tool for usurping the throne?"

Lanling Emperor was, after all, the ruler of the dynasty.

At this time, she appeared very calm, and no emotional fluctuations could be seen on her face.

The previous performance was completely a conditioned reflex, a natural reaction of a daughter being suddenly seen by a man.

As a superior, she quickly adjusted her emotions and mentality, and became unusually calm.

"I was originally very disappointed in you. Your emotional fluctuations are too intense and you are not suitable to be the ruler of a dynasty.

But now that you have calmed down so quickly, your temperament is still considered tough."

Lanling Emperor frowned slightly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but look at his face with scrutinizing eyes.

This person is so strange. Judging from this sentence, he doesn't seem to be someone sent by Lanling King.

Could it be that, as he said, he has nothing to do with Lanling King?

If not, why would he suddenly appear in the palace and come to her palace.

"Who exactly are you?"

Lanling Emperor asked, a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with sharp light, staring at his eyes.

"I am someone who can help you get out of trouble.

No matter what difficulties or enemies you encounter, as long as I am here, I can help you solve them."

Jun Wuxie released the hand that locked Lanling Emperor's wrist, and also released the legs that clamped her ankles.

Lanling Emperor gained freedom and raised her hand to slap his face.

Jun Wuxie had expected her to do this, and took the lead, reaching out and locking her slender and smooth white neck.

Lanling Emperor's outstretched hand stopped in the air, looking at him with angry and cold eyes.

"Women should be gentler, don't be so barbaric."

Jun Wuxie leaned forward, pinched her chin, looked at her forcefully, and said: "My tolerance is limited.

Remember, don't do this kind of action to me again in the future."

After speaking, he released Lanling Emperor.

Lanling Emperor's eyes were also very strong, and she stared at him without admitting defeat.

Jun Wuxie ignored her, soaked in the tub, leaned lazily on the tub, half-closed his eyes.

This damn fellow, he's actually enjoying it.

Lanling Emperor was so angry when she saw his appearance that she was about to crush her pearly teeth.

"Who exactly are you, why did you pretend to be a little eunuch and come to this emperor's palace? You should tell me now!"

Lanling Emperor took a deep breath to calm the anger in her heart.

"My name is Jun Wuxie, I'm here to help you."

Lanling Emperor was stunned upon hearing this.

She frowned slightly, looked at him, and said: "You are the guest from beyond the realm on the Heavenly Gift Temple list who joined the Apricot Flower Village team and continuously won the double championship of the town and county competition, Jun Wuxie?"

"That's right, it's me."

Jun Wuxie nodded with a smile.

"Bold, full of nonsense, you still refuse to tell the truth!

When the Heavenly Gift Temple released the list, it reflected the appearance of that Jun Wuxie.

You are far worse than him.

Jun Wuxie is high-spirited, handsome and jade-like, and also has a full masculine aura. He is the most handsome man this emperor has ever seen.

With your appearance, how are you like him at all?"

"Is that so?"

Jun Wuxie opened his half-closed eyes and said very seriously to Lanling Emperor: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, you're too kind.

In fact, I am not as handsome as Your Majesty said.

However, I still have some good looks."

"Shameless, you dare to mention your looks with this appearance?

Tell me quickly, who exactly are you, otherwise this emperor will never spare you!

You should know that this is my palace, and the one guarding the door is the leader of the Phoenix Guards.

Once this emperor gives an order, a large number of Phoenix Guards will rush in and tear you into pieces!"

"Too violent, can't you be gentler as a daughter?

Do you want the Phoenix Guards to rush in and see you, the empress, bathing with me?"

"You… …"

The Lanling Empress's full, high breasts rose and fell with anger, creating ripples in the water.

"I told you I am Jun Wuxie, but you didn't believe me."

As he spoke, he dispersed the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, and his body and facial features changed instantly.

"You… you really are him?"

The Lanling Empress looked at the face before her in disbelief, "You used a secret technique to change your appearance, but at such close range, and having such contact with you, this Empress couldn't see that you used any disguise techniques. Truly remarkable…"

"Authentic, no substitutions."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he took out a wooden box, inside of which was a pill.

This pill was the special divine pill awarded in the competition.

The Lanling Empress took it and examined it for a long time, finally choosing to believe his identity.

To possess such a pill meant that he must have participated in the Heaven-Sent Battle and obtained a top-three ranking.

If he were someone from the Lanling King's faction, unless the Lanling King had been planning this long ago, sending someone to participate in the county competition.

However, false names and identities cannot be used in the Heaven-Sent Battle.

Nothing can deceive the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, the identity of the person before her could be completely confirmed—it was indeed Jun Wuxie.

"Even… even if you are Jun Wuxie, you still can't just come in and watch this Empress bathe. This Empress's body…"

The Lanling Empress's face was slightly red, and she didn't finish the last sentence, as if it were too difficult to say.

"Your Majesty, things have already come to this. I have already seen what I have seen, and I cannot change what has happened.

Now, what Your Majesty should be most concerned about is revitalizing the court and how to deal with the traitorous Lanling King.

Since Your Majesty has confirmed my identity, you should know that I have a close relationship with Apricot Flower Village.

Apricot Flower Village has suffered oppression from Mang Village for generations, and countless people have died at Mang Village's hands.

The ultimate mastermind behind Mang Village is the Lanling King's Manor.

Therefore, the Lanling King's Manor must be destroyed."

"This Empress has heard something about the Apricot Flower Village.

To think that the imperial clan of the past has fallen to such a state.

It's just a pity that my Nalan clan's imperial family can't offer much help.

You say you want to destroy the Lanling King's Manor, but in reality, it's extremely difficult.

Do you think this Empress is willing to watch them dominate everything?

My Nalan clan's imperial family has been making efforts generation after generation.

However, not only has the Xiao clan of the Lanling King's Manor not been effectively restrained, but their power has only grown stronger.

Almost the entire court is filled with the Lanling King's people. Nothing can be done without the Lanling King's approval. The imperial decrees issued by this Emperor are not executed.

Dealing with the Lanling King can only be done by gradually dismantling his power, but doing so is almost impossible to succeed.

If we were to take a hardline approach and directly attack the Lanling King's Manor, our Nalan clan's imperial family would not be a match for the Xiao clan.

They have several Heavenly God Realm experts; reliable intelligence confirms that there are three.

Our Nalan clan's imperial family only has two."

The Lanling Empress sighed, her words filled with deep helplessness.

"I came to the imperial capital this time to understand the situation.

The Lanling King has almost controlled eighty or ninety percent of the various resource channels.

Although you are the emperor of the Lanling Dynasty, your power is extremely limited. You are forced to compromise with the Lanling King on many matters due to pressure.

Now, we must first solve the problem of financial resources and materials.

Tell me the truth, is the national treasury perpetually empty?"

"That's right, it is indeed so.

Every so often, plagues and other disasters appear in various places, and each time the national treasury needs to spend a large amount of money.

This is an internal problem, and there are also external troubles.

The Langya Dynasty, which borders us, is amassing troops on the border and launching attacks against us from time to time.

Whenever this happens, this Empress has to spend a large amount of military pay.

In fact, this Empress is clear in my heart that these things are not that simple.

Throughout the land, everyone cultivates to some extent.

How could there be such frequent plagues?

Under the environment within the dynasty, it is impossible for the evolution of plague viruses to be so powerful.

This matter is very likely the Lanling King's doing, using this as a legitimate reason to have this Empress take a large amount of money from the Ministry of Revenue to treat the plague and provide disaster relief.

In reality, most of the money goes into the Lanling King's Manor's pockets.

It is even possible that the Langya Dynasty's frequent harassment of the border is also a collusion between the Lanling King's Manor and them, using it as a means to empty the national treasury."

"It seems you are indeed a smart woman.

It's just that the Lanling King is powerful, while you are too weak. Various methods are difficult to implement and cannot effectively restrain him. Instead, you are restrained by him everywhere, watching him gradually erode the imperial power.

But you don't need to worry about these things from now on. With me here, I will help you solve them."

"You… how can you solve it?

Most of the officials in the court are the Lanling King's people. Nothing can be done without his permission.

Furthermore, although you are strong, the Lanling King's Manor has many Half-Step Heavenly Gods, and also several Heavenly God Realm ancestors.

No matter which aspect you look at, you don't have the capital to confront them.

If you get involved in this matter, it will only drag you into a vortex of eternal doom."

"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to trust me.

From now on, you can entrust any difficulties you have to me.

In the past, when I was only in the Saint Realm, I went to a strange world and established a dynasty in just a few years.

Although the Lanling King's Manor is strong, I am still confident that I can deal with them.

Now that the national treasury is depleted, money and materials are a very urgent issue.

However, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, I can solve these things."

The Lanling Empress gazed at him for a long time and said, "Can I really trust you?"

This time, she didn't use 'this Empress' to refer to herself, having already set aside her identity as an emperor.

The current situation of the dynasty is truly in dire straits.

She is very clear that if she cannot change this situation, the imperial power of the Nalan clan will surely be buried in her hands.

Let's just treat it as grasping at straws in desperation.

Choosing to believe him, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope?

Anyway, the worst outcome is the same, so why not give yourself a little hope?

"Of course Your Majesty can trust me. The ending should not disappoint you."

Jun Wuxie smiled faintly, and the confident expression on his face inexplicably infected the Lanling Empress.

"I appoint you as a First-Class Imperial Bodyguard, with the official rank of Third Grade.

You can follow me legitimately, and you can offer suggestions in a timely manner on anything I do."

"Imperial Bodyguard?"

Jun Wuxie was startled, not expecting her to do this.

"What, are you unwilling?" The Lanling Empress frowned slightly, her eyes unkind. "This Empress doesn't mind, could it be that you mind?

From today onwards, you will follow me wherever I go during the day, and when I rest at night, you will rest in my palace.

What I mean is to set up a small bed in the palace. Of course, you can also choose to sleep on the floor!"

The Lanling Empress secretly ground her teeth as she spoke.

"Then I'll sleep on the bed. Your Majesty's phoenix bed is so spacious that if you share a small portion with me, it would actually be enough."

"You lecher, you wish!"

The Lanling Empress was filled with shame and anger. Her snow-white, long legs stretched out of the water, and she used her jade foot to press against Jun Wuxie's chest, scolding in embarrassment, "Why aren't you leaving yet? What are you doing lingering in this Empress's bathtub?

This Empress wants to get up and change!"
