Chapter 476

What the hell is this system doing?

How could a powerful regent be so loyal to a mere young empress?

This is even more outrageous than the sun rising in the west.

[But that's the truth. The Regent's loyalty to Empress Fengyuan is at its absolute peak, unshakeable by anyone. If you choose the Regent as your mission target, the difficulty will be hellish. Of course, if you succeed, you'll rise to the top in one step. Not only Fengyuan, but the entire Tianhuang Continent could be yours.]

Jiang Yanche: "..."

Although he believes he is the protagonist of this world, he is not so blindly confident as to be brain-dead.

He was already going bald from trying to win over Empress Fengyuan, let alone that terrifying Regent.

To put it simply, if we were to compare it to a game, Regent Fu Chuxue would be the ultimate boss, with bugs in her body and an invincible health pool.

Jiang Yanche is still just a low-level character, and he already wants to fight the final boss? He might as well be dreaming!

However, the system also told Jiang Yanche that even a powerful boss like Fu Chuxue has a fatal weakness.

Coincidentally, his Achilles' heel is Empress Fengyuan.

As long as Jiang Yanche can keep the Empress in check, the Regent King, no matter how powerful, is not a threat.

Jiang Yanche thought of Fu Chuxue's arrogant gaze just now, feeling both frustrated and ambitious.

One day he will rule the world and reign supreme for all eternity.

[...] You think you're Dongfang Bubai? Forever and ever!

Jiang Yanche excitedly asked the system, "Is the missing empress still in the palace? System, please tell me her location quickly."

At this moment, the Empress is probably feeling helpless and vulnerable. If he can take advantage of her vulnerability, he can definitely make her like him a lot, and winning her over will be a piece of cake.

【It's possible, but the palace is currently swarming with Imperial Guards and secret agents. Host, are you sure you can make it through? Won't you get killed by the Regent halfway there?】

Jiang Yanche said matter-of-factly, "Then can't you help me out? Give me an invisibility item or something."

[...]This host always likes to dream!

Jiang Yanche gritted his teeth, "System, wouldn't it be good for you if I successfully win over the Empress? We're in the same boat now, we should work together."

After a moment of silence, the system finally agreed to help Jiang Yanche plan a route to reduce his presence, but it was impossible for him to become invisible.

Jiang Yanche never expected the system to actually give him items for free; he just wanted to bargain with it and get it to help him.

Empress, you can't escape my grasp!

...

"Master, the male lead is coming to find you. Should we conceal your whereabouts so that he can't find you?"

"Um?"

The empress, who had run away from home, was idly playing cat's cradle with a red rope when she heard Xiao Jin's report and raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Jin recounted how the Regent King searched Jiang Yanche's palace, igniting the protagonist's hatred and fueling his determination to defeat his master, overthrow the Regent King, and dominate the world.

Wen Xin: "..."

There are stupid dogs trying to harm me every day, I'm so scared!

Looking at the sharp dagger in its master's hand, which was shrouded in an ominous, bloody aura, Xiao Jin's lips twitched.

When you say you're afraid, could you please put away your god-slaying dagger first?

This dagger was crafted by the butler 01 from the previous world, who went to great lengths to refine it and give it to his master.

The master signed a soul contract with it, and therefore, the God-Slaying Dagger was able to reincarnate with its master.

Don't underestimate the God-Slaying Dagger just because it comes from a small world. It has been nourished by bloody and malevolent energy for countless years. It can even hurt the main god of a great world. It's no ordinary weapon!

Moreover, it is a growth-type weapon, meaning that it can continue to upgrade if conditions permit. Even Xiao Jin felt uneasy facing this dagger.

This dagger is extremely dangerous.

Indeed, how could something that caught the eye of that great man and was personally refined and given to his master be simple?

Wen Xin's memories were sealed, so she naturally didn't remember anything from her previous life, but the soul contract made her very familiar with the God-Slaying Dagger.

The fact that she could use the soul contract proves how important this dagger is to her.

All she needs to do now is follow her instincts.

At times like these, Xiao Jin is deeply moved by her owner's character; no matter what the past was like, she has no regrets.

Since past memories would be a burden, she sealed them away and focused only on the present.

However, "Master, you wouldn't want to use the God-Slaying Dagger to kill Jiang Yanche, would you?"

Wen Xin toyed with the God-Slaying Dagger, a slight smile playing on her red lips. "What if I said yes?"

Xiao Jin: "...Then it's probably impossible to kill him, right?"

Jiang Yanche still has the male lead's halo, so he's not so easy to kill.

Even if we could kill him, who knows what terrifying changes might occur?

This little world isn't like the previous one, which was in a state of collapse.

Wen Xin sighed helplessly, thinking that killing him with one blow would save a lot of trouble.

She's really busy right now and doesn't want to play with the silly male lead at all.

Xiao Jin: "..." Master is not only rebelling belatedly, but also becoming increasingly violent.

"Master, do you still want to stop Jiang Yanche from coming to find you?"

Wen Xin: "Why stop it? The male lead is being offered up for abuse, how can I refuse?"

Xiao Jin has nothing to say.

Then, after Jiang Yanche overcame numerous obstacles and finally arrived at the artificial hill where the Empress was hiding, just when he thought the dawn of victory was in sight, everything suddenly went black and he was immediately stuffed into a sack.

If there were other people around at this moment, they would realize that this place is...haunted!

A red rope, like a snake, swayed in mid-air, dragging a sack behind the artificial hill. Every now and then it would bump into rocks and make thuds, which sounded painful.

Jiang Yanche was in so much pain that he wanted to scream for help, but for some reason, he couldn't make a sound. The system was nowhere to be found and didn't respond to him at all.

Then, something slapped him, hitting wherever it hurt, the sensation was so intense it made him feel like he was dying, but no matter how much it hurt, he couldn't faint.

Who exactly is it?

He was just a hostage from Nanyue, and he hadn't offended anyone these days. Who would do this to him?

Jiang Yanche never imagined that it was the Empress Fengyuan he was trying to win over.

After all, from his perspective, he and the Empress had no interaction whatsoever.

Besides, what empress would go and put a sack over someone's head?

The unconventional Empress Wen Xin: Oh, me!

She held a whip made of red rope in her hand, and after whipping the silly male protagonist half to death, she sat back on the rock, exhausted, and rubbed her sore wrist.

The body in this body is really too weak; it's exhausting to fight even one person.

But her hatred was still so intense that she would cause trouble if she didn't personally slap someone. What could Wen Xin do?

Ultimately, it's a fragment of her own soul, so we can only go along with it!
