The Queen's face was a little round, but very beautiful.
She had thin, long eyebrows, a pert nose, and a small, bright red mouth with a prominent cupid's bow.
Especially her eyes, slightly mischievous yet full of genuine emotion, enough to touch the hearts of every man in the world.
Murong Zhen remained unmoved by the Empress's beauty and smiled, "Your Majesty, there are some things that we both understand but don't need to say."
"Yes, you are not loyal to me, but only because of an old saying, 'A loyal minister does not serve two masters.'" The Empress's face darkened. "You are unwilling to have a romantic relationship with me because you are worried that when you leave in the future, the emotional ties will deepen, and you are unwilling to be bound by any constraints!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhen's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses trembled slightly, and he remained silent.
He knew this in his heart, and so did the Empress, but neither of them explicitly stated it, thus saving face for both of them.
He thought that perhaps one day in the future, he would be willing to serve Empress Xiaoxianchun like Zhuge Liang did for Liu Bei, devoting himself to her until his death, rather than for his own ambition.
As he said this, he wasn't particularly fond of his ambition to ascend the throne.
He is a very contradictory person.
But today, the Empress Dowager made things clear, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He just habitually wondered what this matter meant.
"Congratulations on mastering the Empress's Divine Skill." Murong Zhen suddenly laughed, his voice even colder.
The Empress's sudden change could only be due to one reason: her strength had become far greater than he had anticipated.
"As expected of my strategist, Murong." The Empress praised him highly.
She proclaimed, "This time, during my seclusion, I achieved no ordinary supernatural power, but the Nine Old Men's Transformation of Life and Death. Besides being a simple 'transformation of the earth,' this power can also manipulate time, causing a person to live and die nine times. Even if an ordinary expert can withstand the first or second transformation, how can they withstand nine cycles of continuous aging?"
"So you mean..."
"I fear no one anymore! I fear not the Ghost King of Yinshan! Nor do I fear Fang Zong!"
Empress Xiao's face was flushed red as she greedily stared at Zeng Rou on the ground: "You guessed right, this woman is a trap. She has the strength of the fourth level of the Technique Realm, but Xiao Jiu picked her up. It must be a trap, someone framed me! But I'm not afraid. No matter who comes to demand this woman, I dare to let them taste my Nine Old Transformations Divine Power! From now on, I will never be a rat in the gutter again, and I will never hide again!"
Murong Zhen asked, "Is it worth it?"
"This woman has a divine aura above her head; she must have been a deity in her past life. Don't you think it's worth it?"
The Empress grew increasingly greedy. She stretched out her hand, and the nails on her five fingers unconsciously grew very long, the bright red nails extending rapidly as she reached for Zeng Rou: "By devouring a deity, my foundation will be strengthened. Since I fear no one, why not swallow this tempting bait? What's there to be afraid of about being framed? I'm not afraid!"
She became increasingly agitated, but just as her fingernails were about to touch Zeng Rou, a figure suddenly darted out from the side.
Murong Zhen took two quick steps, bent down, and used his palm to block the Empress's fingernails.
His palm was pierced by fingernails, and the Empress Dowager's body suddenly stiffened. A pang of heartache flashed across her eyes as she looked at his bleeding hand.
"Why?" The Empress kept her fingernails still, afraid of hurting Murong Zhen.
"Your Majesty!" Murong Zhen pulled his nails from his palm, his injured hand suddenly clenching, the blood spurting out causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain: "You know I won't remonstrate with my life, but you are my master, and I am your servant. We have served as ruler and subject for so long, and I am willing to shed a little blood to advise you. Do you know who is now framing you, and who is coming to deal with you?"
Before the Empress could answer, Murong Zhen said, "In the current situation in the Eastern Kingdom, all the powerful beings at the supernatural level have their own territories. The only one who will be drawn to deal with you is the thug in the suit, Fang Zong! As for who framed us... it can't be the Ghost King of Yin Mountain. He obtained the power of Yama and only wants to subdue all ghosts and spirits. Moreover, because the power of Yama is blocked by Fang Zong, he has been busy lately trying to increase his strength to devour the soon-to-be-born Youya Illusionary Realm until he becomes a true peerless Yama."
It couldn't possibly be the black-robed man and the peacock from the Nine Heavens Rebirth group. The black-robed man is too arrogant, and the peacock... well, I suspect him...
In short, a new force has definitely emerged, seeking to disrupt the world order and profit from the chaos!
The Empress Dowager roared, "I don't believe it! Besides these few fellows, who else is qualified to deal with me?"
"If there are too many, Bai Su is qualified!"
"Impossible! Bai Su is absolutely loyal to the suit-wearing thugs!"
"I'm just giving an example!" Murong Zhen said coldly, "The first time the spiritual energy recovered by half, the fourth time the ghost energy also recovered by half. Think about how many emperors and generals have there been in the Eastern Kingdom over the past five thousand years? Would they just stand by and watch you, the Yinshan Ghost King, the Nine Heavens Rebirth Group, and the Ghost Slaying Team divide the world into three? This time, Emperor Tang may awaken, Emperor Wu of Han may awaken, and even Emperor Qin may awaken. Ancient demons, just take the eighty-one tribulations in Journey to the West, which one is not likely to awaken? The Eastern Kingdom is not as simple as you think. If you want to use brute force to fight for the world, I, Murong Zhen, can only part ways with you!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"If I was wrong, I should stand at attention and take the punishment! If choosing you was truly a mistake, I would rather kill myself here without you even lifting a finger!"
