Chapter 308 The Sleeping Beauty and the Handsome 'Prince'! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

"What's your name?"

Li Chen asked the beautiful woman in palace attire sitting next to him.

Originally, Li Chen planned to use the "Emperor Dragon Bible" to directly modify her memories, but during the process, he found that she was actually quite cooperative, so he simply asked her.

"My name is Zhuo Shishi."

The beautiful woman in palace attire said with a pitiful expression, suggesting that she was not very old before she fell asleep.

"How did you get here? Are you familiar with this place?"

Upon hearing Li Chen's question, the beautiful woman Zhuo Shishi began to tell her story.

Before abdicating the throne, the Dragon Emperor began preparing for his own 'burial'.

Collecting wealth and resources from all over the world is only the first step. The next step is to build up a powerful military force to ensure that he can maintain absolute rule after he awakens.

Finally, I'll also take advantage of the opportunity to plunder some beauties.

Zhuo Shishi was originally a woman from the Zhuo family, a family of cultivators in Qinghe City. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was favored by the Dragon Emperor and forcibly summoned to the palace.

Other women who entered the palace could be said to be enjoying wealth and honor, but she entered the palace to be buried alive with them.
Even if it's just a deep sleep, it's no different from being buried alive with someone.

When she arrived at this cemetery, she felt like dying.

This is why she did not resist when Li Chen revived her.

She and the Dragon Emperor had absolutely no feelings for each other, and even harbored some resentment towards each other.

However, since the Dragon Emperor had suppressed the entire world at that time, she dared not say anything, fearing that her family would be implicated.

Offending the emperor could mean the extermination of your entire family.

When she woke up and saw such a handsome man in front of her, she was actually in a pretty good mood.

Just as Sleeping Beauty was awakened by a handsome, tall, and dashing prince, Sleeping Beauty also fell in love at first sight.

If it were an ugly one, Sleeping Beauty could only express her gratitude.

Perhaps she had been asleep for thousands of years, but Zhuo Shishi felt as if she had come to this place at night, taken a nap, and now woke up the next day. There was not much difference, and she had no concept of time.

The reason she said this to Li Chen was that she secretly hoped this handsome man could save her from the fire. If that were the case, she would even offer herself to him, as long as he didn't mind.

However, she was also aware of the Dragon Emperor's strength, and such a thing was merely wishful thinking.

After listening, Li Chen asked in confusion, "Who is the Dragon Emperor?"

Wu Nanzhi, standing nearby, was also unaware that none of the emperors of the Tian Ce Dynasty had ever proclaimed themselves as the Dragon Emperor.

Neither of them had a very good understanding of the history of mainland China.

When Li Chen was a prince, he would fall asleep when he heard these things, and Wu Nanzhi didn't learn them at all.

Zhuo Shishi blinked her big eyes and continued to explain, "The Dragon Emperor is the 9th emperor of our Great Yuan Dynasty. Don't you know? What generation of emperor are we now?"

Hearing that he was the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Li Chen felt much more at ease.

The little guilt I had to begin with vanished completely, and I even felt a little happy.

Who would have thought that this was the tomb of a former emperor?

Wu Nanzhi, who was standing next to her, reacted quickly and immediately replied, "Sister, you have been asleep for too long. The Great Yuan Dynasty was overthrown more than a thousand years ago. Now it is the Tian Ce Dynasty, and the person next to you is the emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty."

Wu Nanzhi was used to calling them "younger sister" because she had entered the palace relatively early and could call many concubines "younger sister." However, considering that the other party might be a person from a thousand years ago, she simply called them "older sister." Hearing Wu Nanzhi's explanation, Zhuo Shishi stared wide-eyed at Li Chen.

Perhaps she never imagined that a thousand years would have passed in the blink of an eye, and that the person in front of her was the current emperor?
After learning about the current situation from Wu Nanzhi, Zhuo Shishi asked in confusion, "Since you are not from the Yuan family, how come you are here? This place is very dangerous."

Li Chen casually explained, "I obtained a treasure map, but it didn't specify which emperor's tomb it was, so I just followed the trail."

This is Li Chen's usual excuse. Sometimes only Wu Nanzhi asks, but the other women don't come out on adventures with him.

Since he was the Dragon Emperor who suppressed an entire era, his cultivation level must have been quite high.

According to Zhuo Shishi, the Dragon Emperor is in a deep sleep and is not dead. There is a possibility that he will wake up, but she has a very low status in the harem and does not know how to wake him up, or even where he is sleeping.

She was just a pitiful burial offering.

After hearing what she said, Li Chen comforted her for a long time.

That's how the two of them started to get to know each other.

Others might not notice, but Wu Nanzhi, standing nearby, could sense that Li Chen's temperament and looks were truly attractive to these confused women.

There's nothing we can do. If Li Chen were an ordinary person, what good would it do to be handsome?

To put it bluntly, even if Zhuo Shishi were to be buried with the emperor, she would still be an imperial concubine.

But Li Chen is the emperor, so it's different. Zhuo Shishi felt that if she sided with Li Chen, she would also become an imperial concubine. Wouldn't it be better to be with an emperor she liked?

If it were anyone else, Zhuo Shishi would definitely tell him to leave immediately and say: The Dragon Emperor is not someone you can afford to offend.

Zhuo Shishi then explained the situation to Li Chen and saw how he would handle it.

Even if the Dragon Emperor is an emperor who has suppressed all ages, so what? Li Chen is equal in both strength and status. When it comes to PK, they can be matched together.

While Li Chen was pondering, Wu Nanzhi analyzed, "Your Majesty, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Dragon Emperor hasn't woken up yet and just get rid of him once and for all? Besides, the wealth here is enough to replenish our national treasury."

If a low-level cultivator comes here, they will definitely be looking to acquire some resources for cultivation.

With someone like Li Chen, who's at max level, his perspective is different; there are so many useful things here.

The fact that lower-level cultivators cannot obtain it does not mean that Li Chen cannot obtain it.

"I think that's a good idea. Let's go find out where the Dragon Emperor's tomb is first."

Li Chen felt that they could wait until later to find the Thunder Spirit Orb and first gain control of this place.

Then he looked at Zhuo Shishi and asked, "Do you know which of the Dragon Emperor's concubines are more important?"

Zhuo Shishi nodded; she did know that.

Having spent some time in the harem, Zhuo Shishi had some understanding of the Dragon Emperor's harem.

She told Li Chen that the Dragon Emperor had a concubine named Qiu Xianyu. That woman was proficient in various formations and secret arts, and was one of the Dragon Emperor's most loyal concubines. She even participated in the design of this tomb.

If we find her, she must know something.

Zhuo Shishi was very afraid of Qiu Xianyu. She spoke very softly when she mentioned Qiu Xianyu's name, which suggests that she had been bullied by Qiu Fei in the past.

Wu Nanzhi then asked, "What about the Dragon Emperor's Empress?"
Zhuo Shishi stated that the Empress was not buried with the Emperor, and if more than a thousand years had passed, then the Empress would have died long ago.

Consort Qiu was the woman who would eventually become Empress.
