Chapter 186 targets

Upon hearing this, Jian Qingcheng nodded.

"Within my Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, there is a secret realm called the Path to Immortality. Its mysteries are difficult to explain, but it should be of great benefit to you."

If you don't have any better opportunities, then try the Path to Immortality; it's a reward for winning the cultivation world competition.

Ji Nanbei naturally understood Jian Qingcheng's good intentions.

"Thank you, Sect Master Jian."

"No need to thank me, it's a reward you earned yourself anyway."

Jian Qingcheng waved his hand, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Now, Xiao Jingxi has returned and has also fallen for Ji Nanbei.

At the same time, it will not only not affect Xiao Jingxi's progress in swordsmanship, but will actually be beneficial.

Furthermore, although I don't want to admit it, Ji Nanbei is indeed an exceptionally outstanding individual among the younger generation.

If Jian Qingcheng continues to obstruct or make things difficult, then there's no point in continuing.

Seeing that Jian Qingcheng was about to leave, Ji Nanbei also stood up.

"Sect Master Sword, there is one more thing."

Jian Qingcheng raised an eyebrow.

Now that I've stopped making things difficult for this kid, he's the one who's in trouble.

"Speak."

After returning to the main seat, Jian Qingcheng stayed behind, ready to hear what Ji Nanbei had to say.

Ji Nanbei did not sit back down, but took a few steps forward and walked to Jian Qingcheng.

Just as Jian Qingcheng was wondering.

Ji Nanbei spoke up, "I urge Sect Master Jian to seal off the surrounding area. This matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration."

Jian Qingcheng frowned.

This is his Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, why should he be afraid of being overheard?

However, Jian Qingcheng still snapped his fingers.

A cyan sword aura whistled out.

The surrounding world was immediately isolated, separating everything outside from it.

"Alright, go ahead and speak."

Ji Nanbei nodded, and for the first time since entering the Tai Xuan Hall, his smile disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

"I would like to request the Sword Sect Master and the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect to enter the Southern Barbarian Lands and take action to annihilate the current Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Capital."

Jian Qingcheng frowned.

Originally, he thought that Ji Nanbei was preparing to have his Sword Sect deal with the Golden Crimson Sect.

After all, the feud between Ji Nanbei and the Golden Crimson Sect had already been sealed during the Cultivation World Grand Competition.

Asking his Sword Sect to take action, though abrupt, is still reasonable.

But—how to deal with the Heavenly Demon Emperor?

This is completely incomprehensible.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be questioning whether Ji Nanbei had gone mad.

However, Jian Qingcheng only asked in a deep voice: "What is the reason? Why kill the Demon Emperor? Do you even know how powerful the Demon Emperor's lineage is in the Heavenly Demon Capital? My Sword Sect..."

Even if they were to intervene, a victory would likely be a Pyrrhic one.

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"The Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty will also take action. As long as the Sword Sect Master takes action, it will be the power of the entire Eastern Continent. If the Heavenly Demon were to take action, it would be almost overwhelming."

Upon hearing this, Jian Qingcheng's tightly furrowed brows not only did not relax, but instead furrowed even more.

"The Celestial Dynasty of the Eastern Continent?"

Ji Nanbei nodded.

He then recounted to Jian Qingcheng his plan to take action against Tianyaodu and how he would use it as a springboard to attack Xixia.

Jian Qingcheng grew increasingly alarmed as he listened.

If what Ji Nanbei said is true, then it will overturn the entire格局 (structure/structure) of the Four Lesser Heavens.

The Western Xia dynasty was reshuffled, the Southern Barbarian demons changed hands, and the only region not significantly affected was the Northern Cold Lands.

However, the northern lands are sparsely populated and have an extremely harsh environment, making them unsuitable for ordinary humans to live in.

The entire Northern Cold Lands have the least impact on the overall structure of the Four Lesser Mortal Realms.

"The Emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty has reached an agreement with the Heavenly Fox of the former Demon Emperor's clan. After conquering the Heavenly Demon Capital, the demon race will not put up a desperate resistance and will soon become an ally in the attack on Western Xia."

"If this matter succeeds, the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect will naturally gain a lot of benefits. Leaving aside resources for now, some of the power in the Eastern Continent will also tilt towards the Sword Sect."

Ji Nanbei added the details.

If the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty truly conquers Western Xia, it will naturally need to allocate manpower to govern Western Xia.

The power in the Eastern Continent will naturally be transferred to the Sword Sect, which is also the largest sect in the Eastern Continent and is acting in concert with them.

Having said all this, Ji Nanbei fell silent, awaiting Jian Qingcheng's decision.

A long silence fell over the Tai Xuan Hall.

After a long silence, Jian Qingcheng looked at Ji Nanbei and asked in a deep voice, "And what about you? Why are you involved? Which side are you on, and why are you telling me this?"

Ji Nanbei had guessed that Jian Qingcheng would ask such a question.

"My master is a rogue cultivator, but he has a good relationship with the emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty."

Jian Qingcheng frowned.

Is he acquainted with the current emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty?

With that woman?

"Also, my master has a good relationship with Bai Di."

Jian Qingcheng, who had initially been suspicious, found these words to make much more sense.

Without him.

It has a connection with the current Emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty, and the connection is so close that it allows him to intervene in this turbulent situation that affects the entire four continents.

Jian Qingcheng didn't believe it.

However, if it's because of the White Emperor, or because of the Celestial Fox Clan...

That makes sense, actually.

Moreover, Jian Qingcheng also knew why Ji Nanbei didn't mention the White Emperor first.

After all, they are demons.

Although at his level, he actually takes a very detached view of both humans and demons, valuing more his stance.

But after all, humans and demons are not on good terms.

It's normal for Ji Nanbei to have some concerns.

Now that it made sense, Jian Qingcheng listened and understood.

Although the plan was enormous, its success rate was extremely high.

All forces are taken into account, and even if some are overlooked, it will not affect the overall situation.

"But you wouldn't be getting close to Jingxi because of this, trying to use your relationship with Jingxi to blackmail me, would you?"

Jian Qingcheng suddenly said in a cold voice.

The sword at his waist also hummed.

The aura suddenly dissipated.

Ji Nanbei calmly shook his head.

"This has nothing to do with Jingxi. We are truly in love."

Jian Qingcheng's lips twitched.

wipe!

Why does this kid always sound so irritating when he tries to explain things?

"Hmph, how can you prove it?"

Jian Qingcheng asked in a cold voice.

"Jingxi is so adorable, isn't it only natural to fall in love with her? How could Sect Master Sword think that this situation is more attractive than Jingxi?"

Jian Qingcheng fell silent.

After a long silence, Jian Qingcheng nodded.

"Yes, you're right."

Ji Nanbei smiled.

"I am pleased that you were able to explain this to me, but I do not like the tone of your voice just now."

Ji Nanbei smiles (sweating profusely.jpg).

"Come, I've noticed your martial arts are quite good; let me, the sect leader, test them myself!"

With a loud clang, the sword was drawn.

"Were you chased on the road? Or bitten by a dog?"

Looking at Ji Nanbei, who was dressed in rags and looked rather miserable.

Xiao Nai slowly typed out a question mark.

Ji Nanbei breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved his hand.

"Stop talking about it. If this gets out, I'll probably get killed."

Jian Qingcheng, sword in hand, chased after Ji Nanbei all the way.

The cutting went all the way from Tai Xuan Hall to Penglai East Road.

Moreover, the power of each sword strike was just right, stopping at a level that Ji Nanbei could withstand, but wouldn't find too easy to block.

They were hacked down all the way here; the word "miserable" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Xiao Nai curled his lip and rolled his eyes at Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei took a breath and, after catching his breath, looked at Xiao Naiyi and Xiao Jingxi.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

I have a feeling that the two girls seem to have gotten a little closer.

What did the two of them talk about while I was away?

"Don't ask, I won't tell you anyway, it's none of your business!"

Before Ji Nanbei could even ask, Xiao Nai interrupted the spellcasting.

Ji Nanbei swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

hateful.

One day, he was actually suppressed by a girl who had possessed his body! How could this be!

At this moment, Xiao Jingxi also came over.

"Master—how is it?"

The little swordsman asked curiously, but with some worry.

Xiao Nai waved his hand.

"Since the Sword Sect Master was stabbed to death on the spot by this guy, then it's settled. Besides, just how much can he deceive people with that mouth of his?"

Don't you understand human nature?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxi turned her gaze to Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei could only nod helplessly.

Tsk, it seems that a certain young woman with the Dan body has gotten too cocky lately. I need to find an opportunity to give her a good thrashing.

Seeing Ji Nanbei nod, Xiao Jingxi finally felt relieved.

If the master truly opposes it to the end, he might even try to break up the couple.

The little swordsman didn't know what to do either.

Perhaps—to elope again?

"So, you're planning to stay at the Sword Sect all the time? I'm telling you, there are probably a lot of Sword Sect disciples outside who are secretly planning to stab you in the butt with their swords."

Xiao Naiyi said with a light laugh.

Ji Nanbei finally couldn't hold back.

She reached out and pinched Xiao Naiyi's cheek, giving it a tug.

What the hell?! She's such a cute little girl, why is she so sarcastic?

She clearly has a sweet tongue.

As for the arrangements.

"I probably won't stay in the Sword Sect for long. The Sword Sect Master has allowed me to go to the Ascension Path Secret Realm within the Sword Sect to seek an opportunity to form a Nascent Soul."

Once they emerge from the Ascension Path, regardless of whether they have successfully formed their Nascent Soul, they will likely have to leave the Sword Sect and make a trip to the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty.

After Ji Nanbei finished speaking, Xiao Naiyi's expression dimmed almost imperceptibly.

Not obvious.

But Ji Nanbei's perception was incredibly sharp.

"Could it be that you're reluctant to part with me? Actually, there's no rush. If you're reluctant, you can stay and keep you company."

Xiao Nai's face turned red as soon as his thoughts were exposed.

She shook her head, shook off Ji Nanbei's hand, and turned her head away.

"Who's reluctant to leave! Keep climbing!"

At this moment, Xiao Jingxi came over and grasped Ji Nanbei's hands with both of hers.

"want!"

Xiao Naiyi, who had been arrogantly scoffing, suddenly froze.

It’s over.

There's a traitor within!

Ji Nanbei patted Xiao Jingxi's head and smiled happily.

As expected, Xiao Jingxi is still the cutest.

After chatting with the two for a while, it got dark.

It was time for Ji Nanbei to go back to his room to rest.

This is the Immortal Sword Sect. Although I have already talked with the sect leader, it's really hard to imagine sharing a room with Xiao Jingxi.

Most of the time, Ji Nanbei would be stabbed a few more times by Jian Qingcheng within two days.

Step out of the courtyard.

Within the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, Ji Nanbei didn't need anyone else to give him directions.

very familiar.

However, upon stepping outside, Ji Nanbei saw countless disciples gathered there.

After a quick glance, Ji Nanbei estimated that this number represented about 70% of the disciples of the entire Immortal Spirit Sword Sect.

The gazes of that group were not very friendly.

Ji Nanbei gave a wry smile.

Previously, I felt that Xiao Jingxi was extremely popular within the sect and had great convenience in doing things.

Now, they're finally reaping the consequences.

"Young Master Ji, Senior Sister Xiao is revered by countless disciples of our Sword Sect. To abduct her, you'll have to pass the tests of countless disciples of our Immortal Spirit Sword Sect!"

Bai Jie, standing at the head of the group, said this.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

You little brat, Bai Jie, I'll remember you. Just you wait until I get on Xiao Jingxi's account!

I, Ji Nanbei, hold grudges!

However, Ji Nanbei was wearing his usual smiling expression.

The many disciples gathered around couldn't help but nod in agreement.

If it were anyone else, even if they weren't afraid, they would still be somewhat annoyed by such a situation.

But he still maintained a charming demeanor, and at least on the surface, he seemed to have a good character.

"The first test—Young Master Ji, you must have enough strength to protect Senior Sister Xiao. So, the first test is martial prowess! Release my sister!"

Ji Nanbei wanted to complain.

But I held back.

However, some people couldn't resist.

The first thing Bai Xiaomeng did upon appearing was to give her younger sister a sharp rap on the head.

Then, he looked at Ji Nanbei.

The next moment, Bai Xiaomeng's figure disappeared, and as if by teleportation, she appeared in front of Ji Nanbei and threw a punch.

The spiritual energy flows.

A white burst of wind erupted from the fist.

Ji Nanbei tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the punch.

But the fierce wind from the punch still made Ji Nanbei's cheeks sting.

"A fist-based martial arts practitioner?"

Ji Nanbei was somewhat surprised.

Bai Xiaomeng, as a true disciple of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, is actually a fist cultivator.

With a punch landing squarely, Bai Xiaomeng didn't stop. Instead, she bent her arm and used her elbow to slash at Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei immediately raised his hand to block it.

Next came the close-quarters combat between the two.

Within a few breaths, a series of explosions rang out between the two.

Ordinary people couldn't see the two people's moves at all; they could only see the aftershocks of their continuous clashes that rippled through the air.

"Haha! My sister is a super fist cultivator known as the White Three Fists! Young Master Ji, you—"

"Shut up!" (Ji Nanbei + Bai Xiaomeng)

Bai Jie immediately fell silent after being reprimanded by the two in unison.

He covered his head, looking quite aggrieved.

"How could this happen—"

He muttered something under his breath.

At this moment, Bai Xiaomeng felt that the person in front of her was a complete monster.

She uses spiritual energy to form the force of her fist, and wraps the spiritual energy as the wind of her fist, which is why it is so powerful.

But the person in front of her was fighting her with his bare hands, and he was not at a disadvantage at all.

They didn't even use any spiritual energy.

Moreover, this person is a younger disciple who is a generation younger than her.

The sonic booms from the battle lasted for about ten breaths.

Bai Xiaomeng then withdrew and retreated.

"I lost."

Ji Nanbei smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "You flatter me. Fellow Daoist has clearly not used his full strength yet, so please yield to me."

Bai Xiaomeng shook her head.

She didn't use her full strength, but Ji Nanbei didn't use any spiritual energy at all, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

Without saying anything more, Bai Xiaomeng turned and left.

If she can't beat him, she has no reason not to acknowledge him.

He watched his older sister turn and leave.

Bai Jie's eyes widened.

Although I knew that Young Master Ji was strong, was he really this strong?

Bai Xiaomeng was, after all, among the top three in the previous cultivation world competition.

Despite the age difference, he was defeated in just over ten breaths?

The Sword Sect disciples, who had been so imposing, suddenly lost seven-tenths of their momentum.

In the cultivation world, most of the time, might makes right.

Sensing that something was amiss, Bai Jie quickly coughed lightly.

"You've passed the first test, Young Master Ji! Now for the second test! It's about details! For women, details are very important! Young Master Ji, let me ask you, what does Senior Sister Xiao like to eat?"

"Compare the details!"

Bai Jie said confidently.

As the sole supporter of Sister Sword Fairy, the head of Sister Xiao Jingxi's fan club, and the president of Sister Sword Fairy's support group.

Bai Jie was confident that she knew everything about her senior sister, the Sword Immortal!

In terms of details, we will never lose!

"What do you like to eat?"

Ji Nanbei thought for a moment.

Bai Jie remained confident, awaiting Ji Nanbei's answer.

As a result, Bai Jie's mentality collapsed after Ji Nanbei uttered his first words.

"That's not difficult. These past few days, I've been cooking for Jingxi, all the fellow practitioners."

Bai Jie: !

How could this be!

He personally cooked for his Sword Immortal senior sister! And they were fellow cultivators!

Bai Jie felt a pang of envy.

"Bamboo shoots, green dates, and steamed fish are the things I eat most often. I don't eat much meat."

Ji Nanbei said as he recalled the events.

Bai Jie: He's showing off, isn't he?! He's definitely showing off, isn't he?! How awful!

Although her lips were twitching, Bai Jie still managed to put on a mocking smile.

"Hmph, you got one thing wrong! There's one dish that your senior sister loves most that you don't know! You don't know!"

Towards the end, her voice almost broke with tears.

Ji Nanbei frowned.

Do you have a favorite dish?

Is that true?

With a quick thought, Ji Nanbei knew roughly what Bai Jie was talking about.

Just as Bai Jie was forcing herself to maintain her last bit of confidence and preparing to give the answer.

Ji Nanbei said, "Golden Shrimp Balls."

Bai Jie: ! (Silent scream)

How could he have known!

Seeing Bai Jie's blank expression, Ji Nanbei knew he had guessed correctly.

Xiao Jingxi herself isn't a big eater, so she doesn't have any particular favorite dishes.

However—he does have it.

When Ji Nanbei possessed Xiao Jingxi's body before, he did indeed crave the golden shrimp balls.

Seeing Bai Jie's blank expression, Ji Nanbei really wanted to add insult to injury.

Actually, that's one of my favorite dishes.

Of course, that's not a definitive statement.

Bai Jie was sunk.

I only asked one question, and then I couldn't ask any more.

After a long silence, Bai Jie finally spoke again: "The final test... I've heard that Young Master Ji is exceptionally talented in literature, composing seven poems in seven steps—a feat unparalleled before or since."

"The visitor, let me compose a poem about my feelings for Senior Sister Xiao."

Ji Nanbei chuckled and thought for a moment.

I glanced back unintentionally.

I did see two little heads peeking out of the window, looking this way.

Xiao Jingxi, who was peeking out the window, was also looking forward to it.

Their eyes seemed to sparkle with light.

Poetry.

Of course, Xiao Jingxi wasn't someone who liked to be pretentious; she was only looking forward to it because Ji Nanbei was going to give her the poem.

Ji Nanbei chuckled softly, and after a moment's thought, he realized what it meant.

"Having seen the vast ocean, other waters seem insignificant; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are not worth seeing."

After half a line of poetry was recited, everyone fell silent.

The first thought in everyone's mind was that Ji Nanbei's reputation for literary talent was well-deserved.

The poem, though only half-finished, is superb in its tonal patterns, diction, and even its imagery; half a verse is enough to be sung for eternity.

o

My second reaction was that this half-stanza of poetry seemed to have gone off-topic.

Just as everyone was wondering, Ji Nanbei uttered the second half of the poem.

"I'm too lazy to look back at the flowers I pass by; half my heart is devoted to cultivating the Tao, and the other half to you."

The crowd, who had been puzzled, immediately understood upon hearing the second half of the poem.

It turned out to be the case.

Using objects to express feelings means that, apart from Senior Sister Xiao, no one can compare to her.

That perfectly matches the topic Bai Jie mentioned.

It is Ji Nanbei's lingering feelings for Xiao Jingxi.

"Wow! This is so sweet!"

"I can't take it anymore! Everyone, I'm in tears! This is what true love is!"

"Half for cultivation, half for you, I'm totally shipping them! Senior Sister Xiao and Young Master Ji are truly a match made in heaven!"

"Let's see who disagrees with this marriage! Whoever disagrees, I'll be the first to jump out and break their legs!"

Amidst the whispers of the disciples, Ji Nanbei turned and waved to Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi smiled and waved to Ji Nanbei, clearly very happy.

Then, while the disciples were busy shipping their favorite couples, Ji Nanbei ran away.

slip away.

After arriving at the courtyard used by the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect to entertain guests, Ji Nanbei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These disciples of the Sword Sect are really something else.

Fortunately, when it comes to creating hilarious situations, Ji Nanbei has never been afraid of anyone.

After sitting down, Ji Nanbei opened the system panel.

After pondering for a long time, Ji Nanbei chose to possess the body, and then chose Youwei.

I'll be going to the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty in a few days, so I need to ask Youwei about the situation there.

It's still unknown whether Youwei has introduced herself to the Emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty.

At the same time, Ji Nanbei also needs to find out what kind of person the current Emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty is.

Later, to help Youwei rebel, one must first understand oneself and one's enemy.

After a bout of dizziness.

The surrounding scenery changed.

The surroundings had transformed into the familiar palace hall that Ji Nanbei recognized.

Ji Nanbei raised her hand and saw that she was wearing a gauze dress without any complicated decorations, which was obviously a type of nightgown.

Clearly, as night fell, Youwei was in her palace, preparing to either cultivate or rest.

"You've come. It's been so long. I thought you were dead."

A faint voice came from the depths of the spirit.

"I cannot die yet. I have not yet helped Youwei accomplish the grand undertaking of assassinating the king and changing the dynasty. How can I die?"

Ji Nanbei answered casually.

I've been to Youwei many times before because of my cultivation.

Ji Nanbei and Youwei have become quite familiar with each other.

Although I still feel that this woman is difficult to control, and I often lose the initiative in conversations.

However, at least I don't have to be as cautious as I was before when we talked.

Upon hearing this, Youwei chuckled softly.

In this entire world, there is only one person who dares to speak so presumptuously about assassinating the king and killing the emperor in front of her.

"Do you still want to cultivate here with me?"

Youwei asked.

"Not today. I came here today mainly to ask you if you have managed to deal with the emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty."

Youwei paused for a moment.

He immediately asked, "Have you convinced the Immortal Sword Sect to agree to take action against the Southern Barbarian Heavenly Demons?"

Youwei could guess it, so Ji Nanbei wasn't surprised.

This woman is incredibly meticulous and intelligent.

It's not surprising that they could guess it.

"Yes."

Ji Nanbei directly admitted it, and added, "I have already found people and selected candidates to pay homage to the emperor: a celestial fox and two humans, representing my clan and the Sword Sect."

Yuwei remained silent.

However, Ji Nanbei could sense waves of pleasure coming from Youwei.

Ji Nanbei: ?

That's strange.

When it was said that the Sword Sect had settled things, Youwei didn't seem this happy.

Could it be because the reaction time is too long?

Ultimately, Ji Nanbei attributed this sense of pleasure to Youwei because the plan was progressing well.

After a moment of silence, Youwei said, "That's good. I've already spoken to the emperor. Once your people arrive in Xiandu, they should go directly into the palace."

If someone tries to stop you, claim you are a special envoy coming to see the Emperor. Someone from the palace will then go and fetch your person to meet the Emperor.

Ji Nanbei hummed in agreement.

Thinking to myself, Youwei is actually quite reliable.

But it makes sense, considering that a prince or vassal lord was able to bring all the Eastern Continent's entourage under his command without being discovered by the emperor.

This method is certainly reliable.

Then, Ji Nanbei asked, "By the way, what kind of person is this emperor? I'd like to have people make some preparations in advance, whether it's meeting him or rebelling later, this matter is very important."

Youwei was taken aback by the question.

Isn't this just asking what kind of person she is?

After some thought, Youwei spoke up: "The current emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty can be described as having an iron-fisted approach and being decisive in killing. He has directly eliminated many of the troubles left by the previous dynasty."

Ji Nanbei: Hmm—

"His mind was also meticulous. At that time, Dongzhou was in turmoil. After he took over, he planned for only a few months and then pacified Dongzhou."

Ji Nanbei: Hmm?

"His temperament was also different from that of previous emperors. He personally led many expeditions, eating and living with his soldiers, advancing and retreating together, and was invincible in every battle."

Ji Nanbei: Huh? ? ?

Ji Nanbei raised his hand to interrupt Youwei's description.

"Sister, how about we discuss the matter of usurping the throne again? I feel that, based on what you've said, it's probably not going to work out."

"Look, sister, you're still young. If you live for ten thousand years, you might even outlive that emperor, don't you think?"

"What do you think, sister? After all, youth is an asset. There's no need to fight to the death with an old emperor, right? He'll die sooner or later."

"Then you can use the emperor to command the feudal lords, and that will be the end of it."

Ji Nanbei earnestly advised.

As Youwei listened, she finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Ji Nanbei shook his head helplessly.

Anyway, we should follow the standards described by Youwei.

It goes without saying how difficult it was to kill an emperor.

Rebellion is tantamount to certain death.

After all, even Youwei praised him as having an iron-fisted approach and meticulous thinking.

Then it goes without saying how ruthless this emperor was.

You smiled for a while before saying, "You'll understand when you meet this emperor."

Ji Nanbei was silent for a moment, then could only agree.

Anyway, let's go and take a look first.

Since he had possessed Youwei's body, no matter how powerful the emperor was, he couldn't possibly turn his attention to his original self.

"I will not be coming to Dongzhou this time, and why do you seem so happy that my people are going to see the Emperor?"

Ji Nanbei's words were watertight.

When chatting with Youwei, one should be cautious and try to do one's best.

Otherwise, Ji Nanbei felt that Youwei would find out about his true identity from the slightest clue.

"Because you're very interesting. Someone like you is absolutely unique in the entire Eastern Continent, and even in this world."

Youwei said with a light laugh.

"Taking possession of other people's bodies at will?"

"It's not because of that, but because they can so easily accept the assassination of the emperor and think it's normal for a woman to become empress. That's the most interesting part."

Ji Nanbei responded with an "oh".

He's a guy who's been through the modern internet revolution.

Their ability to accept information is naturally strong.

Ji Nanbei stood up and looked outside the bedroom.

"Can I go out and take a look? This should be inside the Immortal Capital, right? Come to think of it, I've never been to the Immortal Capital before."

Youwei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, but I am currently in the palace, and I cannot go to every place."

Ji Nanbei blinked.

This is actually the palace's sleeping quarters.

Just as Ji Nanbei was about to go out for a walk, he remembered that Youwei's current appearance seemed somewhat inappropriate to show to others.

Even though he was out, Ji Nanbei didn't intend to strike up a conversation with anyone in the palace.

However, if someone happens to see it, it will damage one's image.

The young and inexperienced are not of low status, so this matter should be taken seriously.

Youwei, however, was clearly unaware of what Ji Nanbei was planning to do.

Ji Nanbei raised his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy flew out, forming a mirror in front of him.

Just as Youwei was filled with doubt, Ji Nanbei reached his sinister hand towards the belt around his waist.

Then, in the mirror, Youwei saw her own undergarment.

"ah!!!"

A startled cry made Ji Nanbei realize that he might have misjudged Youwei.

He hurriedly took out a loose robe from the system space that he had never worn before and that had no special features, and quickly put it on.

"You, you, you—you!"

Youwei's speech has become somewhat slurred, which is rare for her.

Ji Nanbei chuckled.

Thankfully, I wasn't ejected from my body.

However, deep down, Ji Nanbei could sense that Youwei's shyness was nearing its breaking point.

The main point is that during their previous conversations, Youwei was quite adept at making suggestive remarks.

She showed absolutely no girlish shyness.

In addition, there's her mature and sophisticated appearance, as well as her usual aloof and superior aura.

Ji Nanbei thought Youwei was the type of woman who was an old lady, able to talk about lewd things with ease.

As it stands now—

It doesn't seem to be.

Knowing that striking up a conversation here was not a good option, Ji Nanbei chose to remain silent for the time being and walked out of the bedroom.

After leaving the bedchamber, a cool breeze blew in.

That slightly cool feeling gradually calmed the tiny part of my mind.

"He's so bold!"

Thinking this way, Youwei ultimately did not reprimand him.

Ji Nanbei then looked around at the surrounding environment.

Although it was already night.

But the sky was cloudless, and the moonlight was very bright.

Under the moonlight, there are exquisitely carved palace walls and majestic palaces in the distance.

Ji Nanbei sighed as he looked at the scene.

"It looks great."

"I thought you would compose a poem, but after expressing your feelings, you just gave me this perfunctory response."

Although Youwei was still a little shy, she was able to suppress it and focus her energy on the conversation.

"Some scenery is beautiful as it is. Actually, I'm not a sentimental person; simplicity is better."

Ji Nanbei said casually.

Youwei paused for a moment, then said, "You think this palace is beautiful, but do you know how many schemes and plots are hidden within these palace walls, and how many people wish they could never meet on the battlefield here?"

There was a clear sense of irony in his words.

However, it wasn't directed at Ji Nanbei.

It seems more like a tribute to the imperial palace.
