Empress Huangtian's expression darkened, but she couldn't understand why a powerful woman like Qing Yanjing would be willing to be Zhou Xingdou's woman, and not even the only one.
This is a peak expert of the Initial Realm, yet he is only ranked third. What kind of powerful beings must the first and second place be? Could they be at the Dao End Realm?
Thinking of this, Empress Huangtian couldn't help but look at Zhou Xingdou again. Even if Zhou Xingdou had a noble bloodline and a face like a god, how could she make such a being willing to give his life?
This only added another layer of mystery to the already enigmatic Zhou Xingdou in the mind of the Desolate Heaven Empress. Could it be that he really has some other special strengths?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, a sudden kowtow sound rang out, and Xiao Tianzuo was seen pounding his head like garlic, making a series of vibrating sounds, breaking the tense atmosphere between Qing Yanjing and the Desolate Heaven Empress.
"Senior Huangtian, Third Master's Wife, let's talk this out. Don't get angry. This humble one kowtows to you."
Xiao Tianzuo was also in a bind. He wished he had slept longer. Now that his master's wife and his senior were about to clash, it was inappropriate for him to remain silent, but it was also inappropriate for him to speak up and take sides.
"That's enough..."
Zhou Xingdou sighed with a hint of helplessness. To be honest, he was even more helpless than Xiao Tianzuo. After all, Qing Yanjing was his woman, and he couldn't possibly scold her for such a small matter.
He had no reason to reprimand Empress Huangtian, since she hadn't said anything inappropriate.
Zhou Xingdou now understands that the more women he has, the more he needs an official wife. Otherwise, he won't need to do anything else; he can just stay at home every day dealing with the troubles in his harem.
Fortunately, Qing Yanjing was obedient enough. After Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, he stopped talking, withdrew his aura, and only gave the Desolate Heaven Empress a cold look before letting it go.
Empress Huangtian wasn't stupid. At present, she was only at the Refining Heaven Realm. Facing a Quasi-Emperor at the Ninth Transformation, which was equivalent to the peak of the Initial Realm, she silently swallowed this loss.
Only Zhou Xingdou managed to lift Xiao Tianzuo, who was kneeling on the ground, up with one hand and slap him on the head:
"My apprentice cannot be a kowtow worm. From now on, you can't kneel to anyone except your master and parents, and you don't need to kneel to anyone!"
Xiao Tianzuo rubbed the back of his head where Zhou Xingdou had slapped him, laughed awkwardly twice, and quickly agreed.
But he couldn't really be a bootlicker; it was just a helpless act because he had no other choice and didn't want to clash with his master's wife and Senior Huangtian.
He kowtowed more times in the previous ten years than he has today.
Empress Huangtian, finding the conversation uninteresting, cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhou Xingdou:
"I have just recovered my physical body and need some time to stabilize it. I will stay in the side room for the next few days to stabilize it. If you want to continue the bet, you can contact me anytime."
Having said that, Empress Huangtian turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Qing Yanjing, who had already given up, stepped forward and followed, saying calmly:
“Perfect timing. I will stay in the same room with you today, and we can cultivate together.”
Empress Huangtian frowned slightly, looking at Qing Yanjing with considerable confusion, not understanding why Qing Yanjing was acting this way.
Qing Yanjing remained calm as always and slowly explained:
"Since you want to be a concubine, I will naturally keep a close eye on you for the sake of the master, so that you will not taint the bloodline of the master's family!"
As she spoke, Qing Yanjing gave Zhou Xingdou a half-smile, which made Zhou Xingdou raise an eyebrow and immediately understand Qing Yanjing's meaning.
She was afraid that the Desolate Empress would sneak out to search for the treasure vault, so living with her was naturally to keep an eye on her.
Of course, he probably also had the thought of guarding against thieves in the middle of the night. After all, Zhou Xingdou, that lecherous thief, looks very respectable, but he has done his fair share of illicit affairs.
Empress Huangtian glared at Qing Yanjing with some displeasure, snorted coldly, and stormed out the door:
"what ever!"
Qing Yanjing remained calm and composed, as if nothing could stir her emotions, and simply followed after them.
Zhou Xingdou cursed inwardly, "If these two women sleep together at night, who the hell am I supposed to sleep with?!"
"Master, aren't you going to go and take a look?"
Xiao Tianzuo, who was being held in Zhou Xingdou's hand, looked at Zhou Xingdou with some trepidation. After all, Senior Huangtian and Third Master's Wife had just had a conflict, which left the two of them alone, before they could fight it out.
Zhou Xingdou, however, was somewhat dismissive of Xiao Tianzuo's concerns, saying:
"Don't worry, your third mistress knows what she's doing."
Zhou Xingdou already knew Qing Yanjing very well. She was a sensible woman, and her reaction today was to plant the seed in the heart of the Desolate Heaven Empress to become Zhou Xingdou's woman.
If it were Luo Hanyi, she would probably be jealous and fight with the Desolate Heaven Empress, but Qing Yanjing would never do that.
But Xiao Tianzuo still shuddered, looking terrified, and said:
"Women are terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou gave Xiao Tianzuo a slightly strange look, then frowned:
"Don't have such thoughts. If you like men, then don't call me master anymore."
Xiao Tianzuo quickly waved his hand and hurriedly explained:
"No, no, my disciple has absolutely no homosexual tendencies!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou shook his head and released Xiao Tianzuo's hand.
He only hoped that his disciple wouldn't become a monster because of him. Thinking back to those two in the Martial Soul World, he still couldn't help but feel a chill; they disgusted him terribly.
But at this moment, he also noticed Luo Bailian standing in the corner, wearing strange black armor.
He remembered this strange black armor clearly; all 120 Supreme Beings who attacked the Xuantian Dao Sect wore this kind of armor.
Zhou Xingdou didn't believe that the Luo family could actually produce 120 genuine Supreme Beings, even if they were spies of the Chaos God Cult.
But now, seeing the strange black armor on Luo Bailian's body, Zhou Xingdou understood where those 120 Supreme Beings came from.
Luo Bailian was once only a Saint, but this time, after his resurrection, he was wearing this strange black armor, and his aura was approaching that of a Supreme!
"This black armor, was it given to you by the Luo family?"
Luo Bailian, of course, could not hide anything and immediately revealed everything he knew:
"That's right. This Chaos Black Armor was issued to the Luo family's Saint Realm experts when they were preparing to invade the Xuan Tian Dao Sect. It can allow Saint Realm experts to unleash power exceeding one major realm. Saints are comparable to Supremes, Supreme Saints are comparable to Heavenly Venerables, and Great Saints are comparable to Dao Venerables."
"Moreover, there is a rune below that is used by those in the Divine Treasure Realm. It can allow those in the Divine Treasure Realm to directly become saints, but after use, it will suppress a person's rationality and make them dull."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Zhou Xingdou's eyes, and he unleashed power beyond a major realm. This Chaos Black Armor was indeed heaven-defying, and it was no wonder that the Luo family had so many supreme beings.
And those runes are probably the things used by that strange Thousand Saints.
It was these factors, coupled with a series of elaborate plans, and the presence of Ling Sanqiu, a quasi-emperor at the peak who could sacrifice his true spirit to break through to the half-emperor realm at any time, that emboldened the Luo family to take action against the Xuantian Dao Sect on their coronation day.
