Over the past few days, Xu Que had been living in the Water Empress' bedroom as if it were his own. No one in the palace dared to complain about this, including Zi Xuan. But when she had heard that Xu Que was living in her sister's bedroom, she had been truly furious.

The reason why she had not gone and asked him to leave was because she knew that she could not persuade Xu Que. In her view, Xu Que was shameless and someone who did not care about the rules.

As soon as the Water Empress came back, Zi Xuan therefore immediately told her about this.

The Water Empress was always calm and demure but when she heard about this, she was also a bit surprised.

Throughout the years, the Water Empress had never been with any man, and no one had ever stepped into her bedroom apart from herself. She had just been away from the palace for a few days, but it seemed her bedroom had already been 'occupied' by a man.

"Sister, you cannot possibly let him go on this!" Zi Xuan said angrily.

"Come with me." The Water Empress smiled and walked towards to the palace.

In fact, the Water Empress could not punish Xu Que. She knew his character. In her view, he was very unique and rebellious, and someone who liked to do things according to his own will. No matter how much trouble he made, he would always deal with it.

She regarded him as her junior. She appreciated him very much and could forgive anything he did.

So when she heard that Xu Que had been living in her bedroom for many days, she was not angry at all.

She had made her mind up that when she saw him, she would not say anything. She wanted to see how he was going to defend himself.

When they arrived at the bedroom, they saw Xu Que standing outside the bedroom, as if he was guarding it.

How beautiful she is! I will never get tired of her looks, she is a woman that only a god would be able to make his wife!

The Water Empress was staring at him and smiling.

Xu Que then said with a serious face, "You have finally come back, young lady! I have done so much in the past days. I have taken back all the lost cities for you and kicked out all the traitors, I have even been guarding your bedroom."

Guarding the bedroom?!

Hearing this, Zi Xuan was speechless.

She had been told by some maids that after moving into the Water Empress' bedroom, he had slept in her bed and sung every night.

He is really a shameless man!

Thinking of this, Zi Xuan shouted, "Nonsense! The entire palace is heavily guarded by soldiers, there is no need for you to guard my sister's bedroom!"

"Oh, really? Just two days ago, I caught a thief in here who calls herself the Ice Queen…" Xu Que said.

Hearing this, the Water Empress was surprised and asked, "Where is she now? You haven't killed her, right?"

"I am a soft person who would not even kill an ant, so I let her go," Xu Que boasted.

Hearing this, the Water Empress was relieved.

"Zi Xuan, you should go back now, I want to have a chat with this young man."

"Ok, but you have to teach him a lesson this time! Do not let him go!" Zi Xuan said. Then she glared at Xu Que and left.

The Water Empress did not say anything. She went right into her room to see how her room had changed.

In fact, when Xu Que had heard that the Water Empress had come back, he had immediately begun to clean the room.

The Water Empress sat quietly around a table.

"Why have you suddenly come to the Water Nation? Are you in trouble again?" she asked.

The Water Empress did not mention Snow City or the third Duke.

Xu Que shook his head. "Why would I be in trouble? To be honest, I have come for the Dragon Veins. But there is one more thing…"

"You need my help?" the Water Empress smiled.

Xu Que shook his head again. "No, it is not like that. In fact, you are the one who needs help from me. Liu Jingning asked me to help you."

The Water Empress was surprised. "Little chap, she couldn't possibly have said anything like that."

"I mean it. She told me everything. You come from the Jiang family and you have suffered a lot. She asked me to improve myself so I can help you through this."

The Water Empress smiled. "If she did indeed tell you this, she must mean that you should not help me, since you can't."

Huh… Just as the Water Empress had said, Liu Jingning had indeed actually asked Xu Que not to get involved in this, as she believed that Xu Que could not help the Water Empress.

Xu Que was confused.

What difficulties is she going to face? Why are she and Liu Jingning all saying that I cannot be of help?

"What is really going on? Tell me, I can help you," Xu Que said carefully.

The Water Empress shook her head. "You really can't. Little chap, you should focus on your own cultivation. With your talent, your future will be bright."

"You haven't even told me about it, how on earth do you know that I can't help you? Young lady, you are a bit full of yourself, in fact, I might one day be more powerful than you," Xu Que said.

"I know you are powerful. But even so, even if you reach the Form Synthesis Stage, you still would not be able to help me. The reason why I am not telling you is because knowing it might bring some bad luck to you…"

The Water Empress smiled. "In the future, do not kill so many people, it won't do much good for you."

"Who knows what will happen in the future? You know I am a very generous and warm-hearted person. Even if you do not tell me, I have already decided that I will help you no matter what you say!" Xu Que said seriously.

Anyway, I will find out your secret next time I catch Liu Jingning.

The Water Empress smiled. Then she took out a strange-looking jade from her storage ring and gave it to Xu Que.

"What is this?" Xu Que was a bit confused.

The jade was blue, as if it was made from water, and there was no Qi emanating from the jade.

"You came here for the Veins, didn't you? With this jade, you will easily get into the Imperial Tombs." The Water Empress smiled.

Xu Que was stunned. "What if when I pluck the Genesis Water Herbs from the Veins, I bring bad luck to your country?"

In fact, Xu Que had already decided to sneak into the Imperial Tombs and make new Veins for the Water Nation after plucking the Genesis Water Herbs. He thought that even if the Veins he made were not as good as the original, they would at least not bring any unwanted consequences to the Water Nation.

He had never thought the Water Empress would just give him this piece of jade, which was the key to entering the Imperial Tombs.

"Do not worry. The Veins indeed have a close connection with the fate of my country, but a country's prosperity should solely rely on me!" the Water Empress said.

She did not care about the Veins in this country, because she knew that no matter how strong they were, her country still wouldn't be able to thrive unless it had a wise and able leader.

Xu Que took the jade. "I will make another set of Dragon Veins for the Water Nation and remake the Imperial Tombs anew. Believe me, your country will be fine. But before that, I want you to tell me something about a man."

"Who?"

"Duan Jiu De."
