Ye Qiu remained fearless: "His answer is probably the same as mine: the Empress Dowager also wants to kill me?"
"No, no, no, his answer was that he agreed to help me, so he died."
The Empress Dowager's icy expression vanished, replaced by a radiant smile, as if spring had arrived.
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and for once he felt that his mind was a little stuck.
"Ye Qiu, you have not disappointed me." The Empress Dowager said, "I will not allow anyone with a weak will to appear by Xuan Ye's side. I will clear all obstacles for his path to becoming emperor."
"With your help, and given Xuan Ye's extraordinary nature, he will surely become a wise ruler in the future," Ye Qiu said with a smile, secretly relieved.
"I think so too. It seems you share the same view as me, but you are ultimately an outsider. I still don't trust you." The Empress Dowager said with a half-smile.
"How does the Empress Dowager think it can put her mind at ease?"
“Simple.” The Empress Dowager said casually, “Jing Shu is still single. If you marry her, you will be family.”
“No,” Ye Qiu said. “Jing Shu is still young, and I have no feelings for her. She’s fine as my sister, but marriage is definitely out of the question.”
"Then choose me to be my husband. I have a dual cultivation method, and I'm just worried about not finding a suitable person to practice with," the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
"ah?"
Ye Qiu was dumbfounded.
"What?" The Empress Dowager stared at Ye Qiu: "Do you think you have any other choices? Either choose Jing Shu, or choose me, or I will kill you."
Ye Qiu stared blankly at the Empress Dowager, completely unexpected that she would say such 'heaven-defying' words.
"Answer me."
The Empress Dowager was very powerful and gradually approached Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Empress Dowager, what you said is unreasonable. We need to communicate from an absolutely fair perspective."
"Absolutely fair?" The Empress Dowager laughed. "Ye Qiu, don't try that with me. Either you agree to my terms, or I'll kill you, or make sure you can't stay in the Great Dragon Dynasty. What do you choose?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Ye Qiu frowned deeply. "Even if you are the Empress Dowager, you cannot be so unreasonable. I cannot grant your request."
"Oh, you won't agree?"
The Empress Dowager's lips curled up slightly as she walked step by step to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took a step back, wanting to keep his distance from the Empress Dowager.
But the Empress Dowager suddenly reached out and pointed a finger at Ye Qiu's abdomen.
Her movements were too fast; by the time Ye Qiu reacted, he found his abdomen burning.
The scorching heat spread rapidly, as if forming an invisible net that imprisoned Ye Qiu.
What did you do?
"The magical power from the Venerable Realm will be restricted. Oh, right, your physical strength will also be restricted," the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
Ye Qiu frowned, secretly tried it, and found that he really couldn't use his magic power and felt weak all over.
"Is this the power of the Venerable Realm?"
Ye Qiu was secretly shocked.
He was completely unable to break free from such terrifying sealing power.
The Empress Dowager reached out her jade-like hand and gently lifted Ye Qiu's chin: "Little one, now you can tell me your choice, do you choose me or Jing Shu?"
"I choose Jing Shu," Ye Qiu said hastily.
"Oh, sorry, you missed the selection time."
She pulled Ye Qiu along and walked behind the screen.
Ye Qiu instinctively tried to break free.
But at this moment, Ye Qiu was no match for him.
For a moment, Ye Qiu felt a strong sense of humiliation.
Damn it, he's always the one bullying others, he's never been bullied by a woman like this before.
"What's your name?" Ye Qiu asked.
"The Imperial Tutor's Voice".
Imperial Tutor's Voice?
Ye Qiu felt a chill run down his spine.
What is the relationship between this woman and the Imperial Tutor's Consort?
"What? You're asking me my name? Does that mean you're interested in me?"
"Don't worry, that cultivation method focuses more on the communication of the primordial spirit; it doesn't require anything to actually happen between you and me."
"Wait a minute." Ye Qiu asked hurriedly, "Do you know someone called Imperial Tutor's Consort?"
"The Imperial Tutor's Consort?" Imperial Tutor Yin frowned. "How do you know her? She's my sister."
"Your sister?" Ye Qiu laughed. "She's only in her thirties, while you're over five hundred years old. How could she possibly be your sister?"
"When I was seven years old, the ancestor of the imperial clan used the Dragon-Seeking Technique to find a treasure land. He originally wanted to use that treasure land to defy fate and transform me into a man, because the imperial clan had no male members, so the ancestor came up with this method."
Unfortunately, he failed. Not only did he fail, but he also accidentally triggered the river of time, sending me back five hundred years to live again, and I have been living ever since.
For me, I've lived for over five hundred years, but for others, I'm only in my thirties. There's no conflict between the actual time in reality and the timeline of the anomaly that occurred within me. Can you understand what I mean by that?
"I think I understand now." Ye Qiu stared in disbelief: "So, essentially, you're still a normal person in your thirties?"
"But I have indeed lived through five hundred years."
"ox..."
Even Ye Qiu had to admit defeat.
This experience is so fantastical that even novels wouldn't dare to write it like this.
A modern person travels back 500 years, then lives in the present day, and the timeline matches up perfectly.
It must be said that this kind of experience is completely unimaginable for ordinary people.
It's as if Imperial Tutor Yin had successfully gained over five hundred years of internal energy for no reason!
"Do you also want to experience it?" Imperial Tutor Yin asked with a smile.
"I don't want to," Ye Qiu hurriedly waved his hand.
"Actually, I think life is just a dream. Everything in this world is probably an illusion, as if there is an invisible hand controlling the whole world."
