Although Ye Chen knew that the empress wanted him to continue to consolidate the seal for her, the other party's condescending tone, which treated him as a servant, made Ye Chen very uncomfortable.

He immediately said, "Ling Qingli, don't forget, we are in a cooperative relationship. I can do whatever you ask, or I can choose not to do it."

"You actually addressed me by my name and dared to bargain with me?"

The empress glared at Ye Chen and was about to continue scolding him when she was interrupted by the latter.

"Ling Qingli, I can still give you some face in front of others, but in private, don't use your imperial attitude to suppress me. You must remember that we are equal partners. If the cooperation is unpleasant, then we can part ways immediately!"

Ye Chen answered very firmly.

Although the other party is the empress of the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom and one of the seven rulers of the upper realm, he is also the dignified Emperor of Heaven. How can he be inferior to others?

Although he is not worthy of the title of Heavenly Emperor yet, he believes that sooner or later he will be able to restore the glory of Daxia, repair the Heavenly Palace, and make the entire universe submit to him!

When the empress heard this, her perfect oval face still showed full majesty.

Judging from what happened before, this guy in front of her did not disappoint her, and even gave her some surprises, but this guy disobeyed her again and again.

In her eyes, the other party was just a low-level cultivator in the Condensation Realm, and his life and death depended on her thoughts. However, the other party still dared to be fearless in front of her. He was really a weirdo.

But on second thought, although this guy's cultivation was not high, he had a way to help her suppress the cold. The sealed bird beast was a terrifying existence that even she was afraid of, but Ye Chen was able to subdue it... at least temporarily.

Moreover, when she was in danger of life and death just now, Ye Chen also tried his best to save her. That sincere emotion and look are now deeply imprinted in her heart.

It was a kind of intimacy that he had not felt since his father disappeared.

That is a kind of trust that allows you to safely put your back to the other person!

The Empress suddenly realized that, unconsciously, she had already regarded Ye Chen as a friend who could share hardships with her, even though he was still just a low-level cultivator in the Condensation Realm with no background...

As soon as she thought of this, the expression on the empress's majestic and indifferent beautiful face relaxed.

"Well, when there's no one else around, I allow you to be a little more unrestrained."

The Empress' voice remained dignified as she added, "But when I summon you, you must come immediately."

"Do you want me to continue helping you suppress that stupid bird?"

Ye Chen naturally understood what the empress was thinking, and immediately nodded and said, "Sure, no problem, but you also have to do me a favor."

Although he could collect a lot of energy by helping the empress, Ye Chen naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to make more money.

"How dare you bargain with me?"

The empress's face turned cold. She had treated the other party as a friend in vain. It was just a pure exchange of interests.

It seems that Ye Chen wants to ask for a large number of divine stones, or top-level treasures, etc.

As soon as she thought of this, her impression of Ye Chen instantly dropped, and she said indifferently: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Help me arrange for three people to study at the Wanfa Academy. Can you meet this requirement?"

Ye Chen asked tentatively.

“…”

The empress was completely speechless. She looked Ye Chen up and down with her phoenix eyes, as if she couldn't understand the man in front of her.

She originally thought that the other party would ask for a huge amount of money, but in the end, he just asked her to help send three people to the Wanfa Academy to study and practice?

With her imperial power, let alone arranging three people to study in the academy, even directly letting them become honorary vice-presidents was just a matter of her words.

The empress suddenly felt that she seemed to have underestimated this guy.

The other party's attitude towards her did not seem completely utilitarian.

Thinking of this, the Empress's expression relaxed again, and she asked casually, "Tell me their names."

"Jiang Ningshuang, Chen Xue, and Chen Bing." Ye Chen said.

"Are all three women?"

When the empress heard the names of these three people, her brows furrowed slightly.

Ye Chen nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, they are all my girlfriends."

After saying this, Ye Chen saw that the empress's face seemed to become gloomy again.

I was a little puzzled. This empress seemed a bit moody...

"Okay, I promise you, after returning to the royal city, I will ask Yu Xia to do it."

The empress replied coldly.

Just after she finished speaking, she heard the sound of metal clashing coming from a distance.

The empress looked towards the source of the sound with her phoenix eyes, and saw a huge medicine cauldron floating in the space, and the sound came from the cauldron.

"What is hidden in there?" the empress asked curiously.

"Oh, it's a crazy spirit. Its mind is confused, so I sealed it in that cauldron."

Ye Chen said nonchalantly.

The empress narrowed her eyes and looked at the medicine cauldron carefully, but found that the surface of the cauldron was shining and colorful. Even she could not quickly determine what grade of magic weapon it was.

"I didn't expect that with your low strength, you could actually hide so many treasures."

The Empress's eyes turned slightly, and she retracted her gaze, warning: "Before you have absolute strength, do not reveal these things to others, lest they covet you and bring about a fatal disaster."

"It's natural."

Ye Chen nodded, "I know that you, Empress, are a person of noble character, upright, talented, and beautiful. You are kind to others and would never forget your principles for the sake of profit and do something like killing people for treasures. That's why I treat you with sincerity."

"Hmph, don't try to fool me with sweet words. I won't fall for it!"

Although the empress said this, Ye Chen saw that her expression relaxed again.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had already mastered some skills in getting along with girls. Then he said, "If you are okay, shall we continue on our journey?"

Seeing the empress nod slightly, Ye Chen took her directly from the Qiankun bag back to the real world.

The two of them once again stepped onto the back of the Ice Phoenix, a creature condensed from ice crystals. The Empress suddenly asked, "As far as I know, you went out with two teammates. Ling Shuangying died in the battle, so where did Leng Mei'er go?"

Ye Chen took a deep breath: "This is exactly what I am going to tell you next..."

After a pause, Ye Chen looked at the empress solemnly and said, "There may be a mysterious evil organization in the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom!"
