As Chen Chu helped the Empress to the main hall, he felt a mix of emotions.
The Empress's slender hands felt cool and smooth to the touch, and Chen Chu almost always held and played with her long, delicate fingers.
But in the end, he managed to suppress his impulse.
As Chen Chu walked along, his mind was filled with the image of the Empress emerging from her bath.
I don't know why, but I can't get the image of the Empress out of my mind.
Even when Chen Chu secretly glanced at the Empress, there was a hint of love in his eyes!
"No, this is not right!"
Chen Chu immediately realized that this must be the Empress's doing!
Just as he came to his senses, the Empress suddenly glanced at Chen Chu with surprise.
"You are special, unlike other people."
Hearing her words, Chen Chu became even more certain that the feelings he had for the Empress were similar to the charm skill.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Empress!"
The Empress slowly shook her head. "In public, address me as Your Majesty!"
Chen Chu was surprised. He had only been a bit glib and called her "sister" because he hadn't expected the Empress to accept it!
Could it be that the Empress also has feelings for him?
Does that mean I might become her empress? The thought is actually quite exciting!
After this thought came to mind, Chen Chuxin began to feel depressed, realizing that he had unknowingly fallen into a trap.
Is she a witch?
The voice of the red spider lily echoed in my mind.
"The gap between you and her is too great, and you also had physical contact with her, so it's normal for you to have wild thoughts."
"Besides, I can tell you really like it this way."
Chen Chu immediately retorted, "How could that be? I am a gentleman."
I don't believe it.
The simple sentence from the other shore flower directly revealed Chen Chu's inner thoughts.
I know what you're thinking!
"All right!"
Chen Chu stopped resisting. "Everyone has a love for beauty. Isn't it normal to feel fond of such a cool and aloof goddess?"
Chen Chu helped the Empress along the way.
The palace maids along the way, including the servants who had been waiting outside the bathroom, all had surprise in their eyes.
They had never seen a man in the palace before.
Not to mention there is a man who can hold His Majesty's hand.
"Is His Majesty going to take a concubine?"
All the maids and palace maids thought the same thing.
Chen Chu helped the Empress into the main hall.
At this moment, Chen Chu truly believed that she was Her Majesty the Empress!
The ministers below were arranged in four rows.
The dozen or so people standing at the very front all possessed the strength of a high-level Saint!
Those who came after them, even if they weren't as strong, had at least reached the Saint realm.
Only those standing near the entrance possessed the strength of a high-level peak Quasi-Saint.
"Dozens of saints are in this room?!"
Chen Chu clicked his tongue in amazement. He finally understood why Sha Fei said the second level of the Ghost Realm was an extremely terrifying place.
The sheer number of saints here is enough to instill fear in people.
If we were to reach the first level of the Ghost Realm, what would happen?
Isn't that a massacre?
Chen Chu's appearance also aroused the vigilance of the ministers.
However, the empress didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Upon seeing the Empress arrive, the ministers first bowed, and then a burly man in armor stepped forward and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the army of the Soul Sea Kingdom has invaded. We are no match for them. One hundred thousand of our Soul Clan warriors have already perished!"
Another minister said, "The Soul Sea Kingdom has a large and powerful force. If this continues, I'm afraid they will reach our capital in just half a year!"
"We urge Your Majesty to personally lead the expedition to deter the invaders from the Soul Sea Kingdom!"
The Empress listened to their words and shook her head. "If I go there, I'm afraid the Emperor of the Soul Sea Kingdom will have to take action himself, which would be an even greater blow to our soldiers!"
The armored giant exclaimed anxiously, "Your Majesty, but if this continues, I'm afraid we really won't be able to hold out!"
"Sister, in my opinion, we should just charge in. So what if we lose? We can't just stay here like this, with them blocking our doorstep and not daring to go out."
Chen Chu noticed that the speaker was an adorable little girl with green hair and pigtails.
She stood in the middle of the ministers, but she looked utterly ridiculous.
But Chen Chu would never underestimate her, because this little girl's aura was not much weaker than that of the Empress.
This is probably a powerful quasi-emperor!
"Liu'er, don't be silly!"
The Empress gave a loving rebuke, then looked at the ministers.
"Among our many Soul Kingdoms, there is a tacit understanding among us: Quasi-Emperors will not take action! Anyone who breaks this rule will be besieged by the other Soul Kingdoms."
"So does anyone have a way to stop the attack from the Soul Sea Kingdom without me having to take action?"
As she spoke, the Empress stretched out her hand, and a soul flower as vibrant as blood floated in her palm.
"Whoever has a solution will be rewarded with this Holy Soul Flower!"
Holy Soul Flower!?
Chen Chu's eyes widened in surprise!
Isn't this the red spider lily?
The one in the Empress's hand clearly had no consciousness; it was merely a pure soul flower.
"Chen Chu, help me get this Soul Flower!"
The red spider lily was now conveying a strong desire in Chen Chu's mind.
