Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

"Don't listen to your master's nonsense!"

The Empress's jade-like face flushed red.

In fact, their relationship was basically set after that kiss.

But she was proud and arrogant, so she naturally wouldn't admit it in public.

“We all understand.”

The Black and White Impermanence retreated in perfect unison, leaving the two of them alone.

"Shall we talk about business first?"

Qin Chuan asked with a smile.

"Besides business, what else is there to talk about?"

The Empress gave a slight humph and said:

"Just as you predicted, Yuan Tiangang personally took action to intimidate Li Siyuan with force, and also sent him to tell me that we should submit to Li Xingyun."

"It's a pity that the old bastard didn't let me do this, otherwise, I could have taught that big-eared thief Li Siyuan another lesson."

Qin Chuan felt a little disappointed, but then became expectant again.

Li Siyuan will also come to see Li Xingyun later, and they will definitely run into each other. It's not too late to teach him a lesson then.

"Don't you want to see Li Xingyun?"

Seeing the Empress's furrowed brows, Qin Chuan guessed what she was thinking.

The Empress deeply resented Yuan Tiangang, and by extension, she also hated Li Xingyun, whom Yuan Tiangang had supported, and refused to even look at him.

"Do you have a solution?"

The Empress's brows relaxed.

She knew Qin Chuan too well; if he had said so, he must have a solution.

"I'll just disguise myself as you, that'll do."

Qin Chuan said it casually.

"If Yuan Tiangang finds out..."

The Empress shook her head repeatedly.

She couldn't let Qin Chuan take risks because of her own likes and dislikes.

"He won't know, I'm confident of that."

Seeing that the Empress was still uneasy, Qin Chuan added:

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Yuan Tiangang naturally understood that even if he used force to coerce Li Siyuan and the Empress, they would never truly submit to Li Xingyun.

What he needed was for the two of them to set an example for all the feudal lords and to create momentum for Li Xingyun.

Therefore, as long as "Prince Qi" goes to see Li Xingyun, it doesn't matter whether he is real or not.

As for why Qin Chuan impersonated the King of Qi, that's even easier to explain.

In Yuan Tiangang's eyes, Qin Chuan had gained the Empress's complete trust and successfully infiltrated the Illusionary Sound Pavilion.

It was perfectly normal for the Empress to meet with Li Xingyun.

The Empress then nodded.

"How did Xue'er do after she went back?"

Qin Chuan then inquired about Ji Ruxue's situation.

"Once she fully absorbs the essence of the Fire Spirit Mushroom, her power should reach the Lesser Celestial Realm."

As the empress spoke, her tone became somewhat jealous:

"You're quite generous, giving it to her like that."

"The Fire Spirit Mushroom isn't of much use to you. Wouldn't it be better if it became more powerful so it could do things for you more effectively?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled.

The Empress herself chuckled a little; why was she suddenly jealous of that little girl?

"Okay, now that we've finished discussing business, I'm leaving."

Qin Chuan took a step to leave.

The Empress gave a soft snort.

"Didn't you say that there's nothing to talk about besides business?"

Qin Chuan shrugged, looking quite innocent.

The empress made a move as if to strike.

But Qin Chuan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

The Black and White Impermanence, who were keeping watch in the distance, secretly saw that their figures overlapped and began to talk about love, unable to separate for a long time.

When the two arrived in front of the Black and White Impermanence, they had already changed into each other's clothes, making it hard not to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

"I'm leaving... Take care."

The Empress said a reluctant goodbye before using her illusion technique to drift away.

"You should return to Luoyang first and follow Meng Po's instructions."

Qin Chuan then gave Black and White Impermanence a piece of advice and headed in the opposite direction.

Before long, a fairly lively little town came into view.

Outside the town, a group of people were waiting.

The leader was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with large ears, holding a folding fan.

It was Li Siyuan.

Under pressure from Yuan Tiangang, he and the Empress had already agreed to meet Li Xingyun together and stand together through thick and thin.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and used the shamanic arts he had learned in the northern desert to transform his appearance to resemble that of the empress when he was disguised as the King of Qi.

"This shouldn't be considered cross-dressing, right?"

He looked himself over and walked toward Li Siyuan.

Chapter 48 With the blood of the Holy Lord, I will restore my name!

Upon seeing Qin Chuan arrive, Li Siyuan immediately went to greet him, his old face full of a smile that concealed a knife.

"My lord, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Qin Chuan imitated the Empress's tone, perfectly portraying the image of the 'King Qi'.

After exchanging a few polite words, the two walked side by side into the town and arrived at the inn where Li Xingyun was staying.

Before even entering the door, one could hear Shangguan Yunque's effeminate voice screaming:

"You vixen from the Illusionary Sound Pavilion! Let go of my Nebula!"

Then another alluring voice rang out:

"Young Master Li didn't tell me to let go, so why should you, you damned freak, meddle in my business?"

What followed was an argument that resembled a shrewish outburst.

Amidst the arguing, Qin Chuan and Li Siyuan stepped into the inn.

In the center of the hall, Shangguan Yunque was staring at a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure.

This beautiful woman was none other than Brahma.

While feeding Li Xingyun fruits, she glanced at Shangguan Yunque with her alluring peach blossom eyes.

At a table a little distance away from the three of them, Zhang Zifan sat between the two sisters, Qingguo and Qingcheng, looking utterly hopeless.

In a more distant corner, an old beggar, reeking of alcohol, lay on the ground, fast asleep.

Qin Chuan glanced around the lobby but didn't see Lu Linxuan. She figured she must have found Shangguan Yunque and Fan Yintian too annoying, so she stayed in her room to find some peace and quiet.

"This must be Young Master Li, right?"

Li Siyuan spoke first, his voice strong and clear, drowning out the argument between Shangguan Yunque and Fan Yintian.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to it.

"The Queen... of Qi!"

Both Fan Yintian and Zhang Zifan were startled and knelt down to pay their respects.

The old beggar also suddenly woke up. When he saw Li Siyuan, he instinctively ran out of the inn, muttering things like "finding his son".

Li Siyuan narrowed his eyes, staring at the old beggar for a long time without coming back to his senses.

"Does the Holy Lord recognize this person?"

Qin Chuan asked the question knowing the answer already.

The old beggar was none other than Zhang Xuanling, the Celestial Master Zhang who had been murdered by Li Siyuan, and Zhang Zifan's biological father.

He was knocked off a cliff by Li Siyuan. Although he survived, he went insane and became the old beggar he is today.

"He just resembles a certain old friend."

Li Siyuan tried his best to conceal his inner elation.

After Zhang Xuanling fell off the cliff, he firmly believed that he was not dead, and even took Zhang Zifan as his adopted son to raise, waiting for the day when he could force Zhang Xuanling to hand over the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique.

Now that Zhang Xuanling has actually appeared before him, how could he not be overjoyed?

Li Siyuan was extremely shrewd; he regained his composure in an instant and looked at Li Xingyun:

"Young Master Li, may I have a word with you in private?"

Li Xingyun gave a soft "oh" and calmly walked towards her room.
