This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 284 The Queen Seeks a Son-in-Law
"You can try again."

The moon-white figure looked at him and suddenly extended a slender finger, touching his abdomen, the right side of his heart, his chest, and several other places.

Then he said, "Try to activate your soul power, and send it up along this meridian and acupoints, into your right arm."

Luo Zijun immediately did as instructed.

Soon, a cool power rose from the sea of ​​souls in the abdomen and quickly reached the arm.

Then, my arm suddenly swelled up and my skin turned black, just like when I threw that punch!
"boom!"

He threw a punch, black mist appeared, and then countless dense spikes shot out like a rain of pear blossom needles.

A rock in front of them instantly turned into dust!

Upon seeing this, Luo Zijun was both surprised and delighted. She tried to channel her soul power into her arm and threw another punch.

"boom!"

The black mist burst forth, and countless sharp spikes, hidden within it, shot out rapidly like a rain of arrows!
At this moment, Luo Zijun finally believed that she had indeed devoured the spiked skills of those demonic crocodiles and then transformed them into her own skills!
The Moon Palace Fairy looked at him and asked, "How did you do that?"

Luo Zijun shrugged: "I don't know either. I just killed a few dozen demonic crocodiles."

The Moon Palace Fairy remained silent, seemingly pondering the reason.

Luo Zijun asked excitedly, "Fairy, will this skill of mine last forever?"

The Moon Palace Fairy replied, "I don't know."

Luo Zijun then asked, "Besides attacking the yin spirits and demons underground, can I use this skill on humans on the ground?"

The Moon Palace Fairy thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible, but its power will likely weaken when it goes to the mortal realm, and it can only attack the human soul."

"That's enough!"

Luo Zijun was both surprised and delighted, feeling that tonight had been worthwhile. Not only had she killed so many demonic crocodiles and gained so much power, but she had also acquired such a powerful skill.

"By the way, fairy, can I also absorb the skills of other monsters underground?"

If he could really absorb the skills of these monsters underground, wouldn't he be invincible in the future?
The Moon Palace Fairy glanced at him again, but didn't answer. She turned and walked towards the tunnel, saying, "Let's go, it's time to go up."

Luo Zijun suppressed her excitement and followed behind.

After exiting the tunnel, the Moon Palace Fairy suddenly asked, "What cultivation techniques did you practice with your divine soul? Or, did you encounter any problems before you officially began cultivating your divine soul?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun was taken aback and immediately recalled the incident where a wisp of her soul had been lost and gone to another world.

He dared not tell anyone about this.

Could his current Devouring skill be related to this matter?

"I haven't practiced any martial arts techniques, nor have I encountered any problems."

Some secrets are best kept to yourself.

Moreover, this fairy's identity is mysterious, and I've never even seen her true face, so how could I possibly tell her about this?

"You'd better not lie to me."

The Moon Palace Fairy snorted and walked onto the stone bridge.

The two arrived at the exit and stood face to face. Luo Zijun asked, "Fairy, may I go hunting in other places tomorrow night?"

In that swamp, many crocodiles are hiding deep in the mud, no longer daring to come out.

Although the flying sword was powerful, he dared not stray too far from it, much less venture into the depths of the mud to kill those demonic crocodiles, lest he never return, which would be disastrous.

"Shh!"

A beam of light appeared, and the two returned to the ground.

The Moon Palace Fairy hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have something to do tomorrow night. We'll go to the underground in three days. You'll come with me then and help me pick a medicinal herb."

"Three days later?"

Luo Zijun was eager to go underground and wreak havoc, but without this person to guide him, he couldn't go underground, so he could only say, "Alright."

The Moon Palace Fairy didn't speak again. With a flash, she flew into the night sky and disappeared.

At this time, the sky was already getting light.

After a night of fighting, Luo Zijun was somewhat exhausted, and the power she had absorbed needed to be calmed and integrated.

He returned to his room, his mind cleared, and lay down to rest.

I slept until noon.

After lunch, he was about to go to the backyard to practice his boxing when Hua'er came over to inform him: "Young master, someone from the palace has come. The Queen Mother summons you to the palace."

Luo Zijun felt uneasy when she thought of the Queen's request to massage her shoulders and legs last time.

But with the queen's summons, how could he dare refuse?

After leaving the Bai residence, they boarded a carriage and soon arrived at the palace.

The Queen's personal maid, Qing'er, was already waiting outside Yaohua Palace. Upon seeing him arrive, she quickly bowed and led him inside, whispering a reminder: "Young Master Luo, the Queen is not in a good mood today, so please be careful."

Luo Zijun asked in confusion, "Do you know why?" Qing'er hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It seems to be about a marriage. The Empress Dowager just left here."

"Marriage?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback upon hearing this and asked, "Whose marriage is it?"

Qing'er didn't dare to say it, but said, "You'll know when Young Master Luo goes in."

Luo Zijun didn't ask any more questions, secretly guessing that it must be another country that had come to propose marriage, and the object of the proposal was naturally the young and beautiful Queen who controlled the power of the Great Liang Kingdom.

The two of them, one after the other, quickly arrived at the door of the study.

Qing'er stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Young Master Luo has arrived."

The Queen's cold voice came from inside the room: "Let him in."

The door is pushed open.

Luo Zijun bowed and walked in, bowing respectfully to the Queen: "Your subject Luo Zijun greets Your Majesty the Queen."

The queen, dressed in a wide red robe, stood before a map on the wall, her brow furrowed as she looked at the location marked Luoyang, deep in thought.

Luo Zijun didn't dare to disturb them and stood still.

After a moment, the Queen turned around and looked at him, saying, "A messenger has come from the capital. His Majesty has personally sent someone to propose marriage to the Prince of Wei."

"King of Wei?"

This was the first time Luo Zijun had heard of this person.

The Queen sneered, “King Wei is over fifty years old this year. I call him Uncle. He has always lived in Yujing. He is a womanizer and has thousands of wives and concubines in his mansion. The messenger said that King Wei has asked to depose the Queen and marry me as Queen. He will move to Daliang and help me manage Daliang.”

Luo Zijun was speechless and said, "Given the current situation, how could Yujing come up with such a suggestion? Even if the Emperor wanted to win over our Great Liang, shouldn't he have sent an outstanding young royal to propose marriage?"

The Queen looked at him and said, "You may not know this, but the Prince of Wei is the most trusted by the Emperor, and he also controls the Heavenly Sword Sect, the most powerful of the four major sects in the Great Yan Dynasty. There are also branches of the Heavenly Sword Sect in our Great Liang Dynasty, and they have quite a few members."

"Tianjian Sect?"

Luo Zijun pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how powerful a sect is, it shouldn't be able to threaten the army, right?"

The Queen said, "Sects naturally cannot compete with the army, but you should know that there are many people from sects in the army or the court. Moreover, there are many powerful martial artists in sects who can take on a hundred men."

Luo Zijun asked, "What was Her Majesty's reply?"

The Queen sighed and said, "Although the King of Wei is old and lustful, he wields great power and influence. And coincidentally, I am already a widow, and only eighteen years old. It's impossible for me to remain a lonely widow forever. Therefore, I have decided..."

She paused, looking at him.

Luo Zijun was somewhat taken aback: "Hasn't the Queen's ambition already been made clear—to conquer the world and become Empress? How come..."

The Queen said, "It is precisely because of this ambition that I want to find a powerful patron. King Wei is already over fifty years old and will not live much longer. If I can gain his power, I believe I will be one step closer to ascending to the throne of Empress."

Luo Zijun frowned slightly and didn't say anything more.

The Queen's eyes flickered as she looked at him and asked, "What does Luo Qing think?"

Luo Zijun cupped her hands and said, "I believe that Your Majesty's actions may invite trouble. If you lose control, you will not only lose your virginity and suffer humiliation, but also fail in everything you have done."

The Queen said, "But I am so young, I will have to get married eventually. Since I will have to get married eventually, why not take this opportunity to gamble?"

Luo Zijun looked at her and asked, "How is the war between the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Great Yan now? Does Your Majesty intend to surrender to the Great Yan?"

The Queen said, "According to news from the front lines, the two armies are still facing off outside Luoyang, with only some small-scale battles taking place, and each side has its own victories and defeats."

Luo Zijun said, "They are probably all looking for each other's weaknesses, preparing to strike a fatal blow. At this time, it's a battle of patience and supplies. But if the stalemate lasts too long, it will be very disadvantageous for the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. They are currently at the height of their power, and if their initial fighting spirit is worn down, their morale will probably collapse very quickly."

The Queen looked at her and said, "What do you think the Seven Kingdoms Alliance should do, Luo Qing?"

Luo Zijun said, "Find the right opportunity and fight a decisive battle as soon as possible. If our Great Liang can help, their chances of winning are very high."

The queen stared at him for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, her beauty radiant.

Luo Zijun was taken aback. Just as she was wondering what was going on, the Queen laughed and said, "What I just said was just to tease you, Luo Qing. Even if my great cause fails, I will never sell myself to marry that old lecher. I have already sent people to contact the Seven Kingdoms and asked them to find an opportunity to fight the Great Yan army as soon as possible. Then, our Great Liang army will attack them from the flank."

Luo Zijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If this person makes the wrong decision and lets the wolf into the house, the Great Liang will definitely be in chaos. In that case, he will have no choice but to take his senior sister and the others and flee from here to wander around.

The Queen watched his changing expressions with a half-smile, then suddenly sighed and said, "Lord Luo, do you think I should get married? And what kind of person should I marry?"

Luo Zijun bowed her head and said, "Since Your Majesty has the ambition to become Empress, why bother with such personal matters? When Your Majesty succeeds and reigns supreme, why worry about not having a husband? He can come whenever you call, and who would dare to resist?"

"Snapped!"

The Queen suddenly clapped her hands, looking at him with a smile, and said, "Good! What you say is good, Luo Qing! When I rule the world, whoever I fancy, I will capture them. Who dares to resist? Anyone who resists will have their entire family executed! Luo Qing, is that right?"

"Forehead……"

Luo Zijun suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

"Luo Qing, come here and help me massage my legs and feet."

The queen suddenly said.
