The two chatted casually, and General Duan remained.

Lin Mo felt awkward about kicking her out, so he could only chat with her from morning until afternoon.

As evening approached, a maidservant suddenly announced from outside the door:

"Lord Su, someone from the palace has arrived. His Majesty summons you to serve him in bed."

Lin Mo was taken aback.

This news came at a perfect time, but it might just be the right thing to temporarily suppress General Duan's betrayal.

He gave General Duan a meaningful look, then stood up, bowed, and ordered him to leave.

General Duan also heard this.

She and Lu's advisor exchanged a glance, their eyes meeting briefly in the air.

The Empress's message: Su Meiniang is sent to serve the Emperor. What does this mean?

The empress might very well automatically say, "She's a man!"

Thinking of this, General Duan put down his teacup and stood up:

"Lord Su is preoccupied with official duties, so I won't bother you any longer. Let's talk another day."

"General Duan, please take care."

General Duan and his advisor Lu left the Su residence and walked along the corridor. Lu lowered his voice:

"General, judging from the current situation, the Empress most likely knows about it. Otherwise, why would she favor Su Meiniang so much among so many female officials in the palace?"

"That makes sense. Let's pretend we didn't see anything for now. Let's go back and fight the battle on the border well, and mind our own business."

"The general is right!"

Lu's advisor nodded.

When Lin Mo arrived at the palace, the Empress was already bathing in the tub.

After bowing, he immediately stepped forward and used the purification technique to dispel the Empress's fatigue from the day.

A silvery-white membrane seeped into her meridians from her palms, peeling away the impurities and weariness accumulated throughout the day. The Empress leaned against the jade platform by the pool with her eyes closed, her shoulders relaxing.

Lin Mo then endured another humiliating night.

The next morning, Lin Mo left his palace and walked along the corridor, muttering to himself:

"If we switched roles, I'd show you what cruelty truly means!"

Upon returning to his residence, a maidservant greeted him:

"Lord Su, someone has delivered a booklet, saying it's what you requested."

Lin Mo took it and saw that it was the internal affairs booklet that he had previously instructed Wanqiu and the others to make.

The handwriting of the group was neat and elegant, and the items were listed clearly. He quickly flipped through the pages, browsing the treasures.

The first page is for magical artifacts.

The Zhenyue Seal is a divine-level magic weapon capable of suppressing a space. Its holder can render all enemies within its range immobile for three breaths.

In battles at the level of a Divine Lord, three breaths are enough to determine life and death.

The Nine Heavens Jade Pendant is a divine-level magic weapon that can disturb the mind. The wearer can cause the opponent to have a brief illusion during battle, revealing their weaknesses.

There is also a damaged one, numbered Jia-17, with the note "suspected God Emperor level, pending identification", its function is unknown.

"Possibly at the God Emperor level?"

Lin Mo stared at that line of text for several moments. A broken magic weapon could be labeled as potentially God Emperor level; if it were complete, what grade would it be?

He turned to the second page, "Alien Insects".

Dark, light, paper, explosive, boulder, and so on, there's even a strange insect labeled "Special, Substitute Law!"

It can be bound to one person as a substitute, who will die in their place upon death!

"The law of substitution?"

Lin Mo frowned.

"Find someone to die in your place? That's a great thing! Having it is like having an extra life!"

He read this sentence twice.

The Substitute Law binds a person to act as a substitute, who dies in place of the original person upon death.

This means that as long as he sets up a body double in advance, no matter what deadly danger he encounters in the future, the body double can die in his place.

In battles between gods and emperors, this is equivalent to having an extra life out of thin air.

He was surprised to find such a thing hidden in the national treasury; the Women's Kingdom's resources were even deeper than he had imagined.

He continued scrolling down.

The third page is for rare and precious materials.

The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Marrow can temper the body, making the skin as hard as refined iron; the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass can keep someone alive, and as long as there is still a breath left, they can be saved.

Chaos Spirit Milk can cleanse the marrow and improve spiritual roots, and its effects are particularly significant for cultivators below the level of Divine Lord.

Lin Mo's mouth watered as he looked at it.

Any one of these items, if placed outside, would be fought over by cultivators throughout the entire Women's Kingdom.

Especially the substitute alien insect and the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, one is an extra life and the other can save a life, both are treasures that are hard to come by.

"The Substitute Insect and the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass are two things I must get my hands on."

The Zhenyue Seal and the Jiuxiao Jade Pendant are also good; I'll take them if I have the chance.

"Let's also take a look at that damaged magic weapon that's suspected to be at the God Emperor level."

Knowing that he could be exposed at any moment, Lin Mo decided to take the risk and act today.

He instructed his maid to announce that he was about to break through his seclusion and would not be receiving guests for the next few days.

The round-faced maid accepted the order, but hesitated somewhat:

"Lord Su, how long will you be in seclusion?"

If someone from the palace comes looking for you, what should I say?

"Just say I'm breaking through to a higher level. It will take three to five days, or ten days to half a month, and I won't see anyone. If His Majesty sends someone to ask, just say I'll go to pay my respects as soon as I come out of seclusion."

"Well... the Family Planning Department said they'd arrange someone from the Imperial Medical Academy for you. Would you like me to call it off?"

"Reject it. Just say I'm about to break through and my body can't take any more stress. We'll discuss it again after I come out of seclusion."

"Yes, I understand."

The round-faced maid bowed and withdrew.

Lin Mo closed the courtyard gate, took out the Heluo Book from his spatial storage, turned to a blank page, and silently recited the question.

The Dao patterns flowed, and after a moment, two characters appeared in the center.

Good luck.

Lin Mo closed the book and went to Wanqiu's residence.


"Owner."

Lin Mo nodded:

"I need your identity to enter the national treasury. I'll send you somewhere, and you'll stay there from now on!"

"Yes, Master."

Late Autumn nodded without asking any further questions.

Lin Mo grabbed Wanqiu and, with a thought, arrived in World Number Four. After all, her cultivation level surpassed the Heavenly Dao, so she couldn't cultivate in World Number One.

After having the mainframe arrange accommodation for her, Lin Mo activated the power of transformation, adjusting her body and face one by one, transforming into the appearance of Wanqiu.

As Lin Mo requested, Wanqiu changed into an office lady uniform and stockings.

The drab palace maid's clothes that had been taken off were put on by Lin Mo.

Then Lin Mo's appearance began to change rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he became Wan Qiu, a round-faced woman with almond eyes and the cultivation level of a Celestial God.

Lin Mo looked in the mirror to make sure there were no flaws, then with a thought, returned to World Number Five.

The next morning, Lin Mo, wearing Wanqiu's face, went out and mingled with the shift of palace maids, walking towards the national treasury with several other palace maids.

Upon entering the outer hall of the treasury, Lord Zhou was already seated behind his desk.

She was holding an account book in her hand, and didn't even look up when they came in.

"A new batch of goods has arrived in the warehouse today."

"You guys, clear out the shelves on the west side first."

"Yes."

The group responded in unison.

Lin Mo followed the other palace maids to the shelves on the west side and began to move the old goods.

In the afternoon, a group of fully armed female soldiers carried in several large boxes.

Lord Zhou stood up, opened each box one by one, and began to check them. After confirming that everything was correct, he waved to Lin Mo and the others:

"Move things! Put these in the outer warehouse, and move these into the inner warehouse!"

Lord Zhou pointed at each of the boxes on the ground, then walked to the door of the underwear shop and slowly opened the metal door engraved with runes.

"yes!"

Lin Mo nodded and stepped forward to pick up the box that was being delivered to the underwear store.

Stepping into the inner warehouse, the sight before him made his heart skip a beat.

The inner treasury was much larger than the outer hall, with rows of jade shelves embedded in the four walls. Each shelf was filled with jade boxes and ritual implements, and the labels were densely packed.

An extremely dense spiritual energy fluctuation permeated the air, as if the entire room was soaked in spiritual liquid.

Lord Zhou stood at the door, holding a list in his hand, watching Lin Mo and the others with a blank expression.
