Even Quan Ji, a woman who had seen the world, was taken aback.
I thought I'd run into a pervert, but... you're telling me this burly, bearded driver is actually a woman?!
Jun Chenlan, standing beside him, also stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before him.
If it weren't for Quan Ji's words "woman," he would have almost slammed the man out of the car with his knife.
The coachman burst into tears, looking pitifully at Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan, "Just as you two can see... the Xinmeng Empire is in complete chaos, utterly in complete chaos!"
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan were at a loss for words.
Why would a woman become like this?
Even with the greatest influence of male hormones, it's impossible for him to look like this; he's even more majestic and powerful than Jun Chenlan.
Kwon Ji has realized that things may have gotten worse than they thought.
"Is this... a curse?"
The driver nodded, then shook his head.
"This... is only a part of it. I can't say the specifics. I... I can't say it either."
Quan Ji pursed her lips, a slight chill settling over her heart, and stared intently at the coachman: "We guess that you can simply nod or shake your head in response, is that alright?"
The driver nodded.
Quan Ji began to speculate.
"The Empress of Glamour can turn you from men into women, it's a curse, but not everyone is like that, right?"
The driver nodded.
"This is a punitive curse, designed to target those who have made mistakes for Empress Vanity and to achieve some of Empress Vanity's goals. It's not the core of the curse, is it?"
The driver nodded again.
Quan Ji then asked, "Can you make women give birth?"
The driver suddenly cried even louder and nodded.
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan exchanged a glance.
What exactly is the glamorous empress planning to turn women into this?
Does this turn people into intersex individuals? Or only some?
This situation didn't seem to have occurred in the Dream Empire of my past life.
Quan Ji frowned and continued to ask, "Do you know Ruo Qiu?"
The driver's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was about to make his next move.
However, at that very moment, an immense pressure appeared out of nowhere, and a ferocious and terrifying hand appeared in the void, rushing towards the coachman as if to crush him.
The horse was startled and ran wildly, breaking its reins and galloping far away.
The driver cried out in terror, "Help...help me! She's found me!"
Quan Ji squinted, jumped out of the carriage, and lifted the entire carriage into the air to prevent it from breaking apart.
Jun Chenlan, who was standing to the side, immediately drew the sword from his waist.
Swish—
A flash of silver light streaked past, and the giant hand in the void was severed, accompanied by an ancient and terrifying roar.
"You...are fighting against the power of the Abyss Order!"
"Hehehehehehe!"
"You'll regret this!"
The figure in the void disappeared.
They were in the countryside at the time, and apart from the horses that had been startled and fled, nothing seemed to have happened.
The coachmen, still shaken, collapsed inside the carriage, panting heavily.
"A curse... it's a demon within a curse!"
"She found me...she found me! I'm going to die!!!"
"Shut up."
Quan Ji was contemplating something serious when she glanced at the coachman, who dared not make any further moves.
She was still trembling, her face streaked with tears.
Kwon-hee put down the carriage that was now without horses and stood on the ground.
She tilted her head slightly towards Jun Chenlan: "Did you hear that? The Abyss Cult."
Jun Chenlan nodded. "This is indeed the power of the Abyss; they have intervened."
Quan Ji sneered and clenched her fist.
The Abyss Order?
This is the second time we've met in this lifetime.
Her grandfather's revenge, and her father's revenge.
In this life, her ties with the Abyss Order are indeed very deep.
If nothing unexpected happens, the current strange behavior of the Heart Dream Empire is probably due to the involvement of the Abyss Order.
So what is their purpose?
What is your zodiac sign?
Princess Quan lowered her head and asked the coachman, "What did you mean when you said it was a curse?"
The coachman trembled and dared not speak, fearing that his every move would be exposed to the Empress's gaze.
"I...I don't want to die."
Fear had completely gripped her entire body, making her too afraid to move an inch.
Quan Ji tilted her head back helplessly, and when she looked at the coachman again, her eyes held a mixture of certainty and threat: "Listen, if you want the Xinmeng Empire to return to normal, no one but us can help you. The power of the Abyss Order is beyond your imagination. They have always been in places we cannot see, and they are a huge threat. If this is the curse that monitors you, as long as we are by your side, you will not be able to suffer any harm. What you need to do now is to tell us as much as you know, understand?"
The coachman looked at Quan Ji, his pupils dilated in shock, and he nodded weakly.
"But... this... this is only part of the curse. There are some things that, once I say them, will cause me to die instantly. In fact... if I even have the tendency to say them, I will also die."
Quan Ji: "Then say whatever you can."
The driver swallowed hard, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
If death can resolve this situation, then... what does his self-sacrifice matter?!
