Chu Ze cursed inwardly, "Witch," but his face remained calm. "I naturally know what is important and what is not."

"That's good." The woman smiled, "Your Majesty, please follow me. I will take you to get the 'Snow Lotus Holy Fruit'."

Chu Ze followed the woman through the winding corridor and came to a hidden cave in the back mountain. The cave was freezing cold, and the walls were covered with ice crystals, which sparkled under the light of the torch.

Deep in the cave, there grows a snow-white lotus with crystal clear petals that emit a faint fragrance.

"This is the 'Snow Lotus Holy Fruit'." The woman pointed at the snow lotus and said, "Your Majesty, please take it."

Chu Ze looked at the snow lotus, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Are you sure this is the 'Snow Lotus Holy Fruit'?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you don't have to take it." The woman's tone was flat, and she didn't seem to care about Chu Ze's suspicion.

Chu Ze weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and finally decided to trust the woman. He walked to the snow lotus, plucked a petal, and put it in his mouth.

The petals melted in the mouth, and a cool breath instantly spread throughout the body, and the originally restless internal energy gradually calmed down.

"It is indeed the 'Snow Lotus Holy Fruit'!" Chu Ze was delighted and quickly swallowed all the remaining petals.

After taking the "Snow Lotus Holy Fruit", Chu Ze felt refreshed, and the poison of the "Seven-Star Begonia" in his body was completely eliminated.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for the medicine." Chu Ze said with a bow.

"You're welcome. You and I are husband and wife now, and we should help each other." The woman said with a smile.

Chu Ze's face darkened and he said coldly, "When did I agree to marry you?"

"The emperor just agreed in person." The woman blinked and said innocently.

Chu Ze cursed inwardly, "treacherous," but now he had recovered from the poison and was no longer afraid of this woman. "Even if I agree, it's only a temporary solution. I am the ruler of a country, how can I be bound by a countrywoman like you?"

"Your Majesty, this is wrong." The woman's face turned cold. "Although our Kunlun Palace is located in a remote area, it is not a place that can be bullied. If Your Majesty does not want to fulfill his promise, that's fine. However, although the poison of the Seven-Star Begonia has been temporarily cured, it will recur every once in a while. By then..."

Chu Ze's face changed. He didn't expect that the poison of "Seven-Star Begonia" would be so difficult to cure.

"What exactly do you want?" Chu Ze asked gritting his teeth.

"It's simple. Be my husband and I will naturally keep you safe." The woman said calmly.

Chu Ze looked at the woman, his eyes full of anger. He was the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was forced to such a point by a woman!

"Okay, I promise you!" Chu Ze almost shouted.

The woman smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes. "That's right."

"However, I have a condition." Chu Ze said.

"What conditions?" the woman asked.

"I want you to submit to the Ming Dynasty!" Chu Ze said word by word.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Your Majesty is so arrogant! Who do you think you are? How dare you make Kunlun Palace submit to you?"

"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Chu Ze roared, "All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects! Your Kunlun Palace is no exception!"

"Okay, very good!" A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes. "In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly surged out of the cave, enveloping Chu Ze.

Chu Ze's face changed drastically. He felt a strong pressure that made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"You...you..." Chu Ze pointed at the woman, unable to speak. "What do you mean by 'I'?" The woman sneered, "What do you think my Kunlun Palace is? How can I allow you to be so presumptuous here!"

She waved her hand, and an invisible force knocked Chu Ze away, and he fell heavily against the wall of the cave.

Chu Ze felt as if all his internal organs had shifted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Several guards hurried forward to help Chu Ze up.

Chu Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

He didn't expect that he would be defeated by a woman!
"Let's go!" Chu Ze said, gritting his teeth.

He knew that today's shame would be returned a hundredfold in the future!
The guards supported Chu Ze and stumbled out of Kunlun Palace. Along the way, Chu Ze's face was ashen and he said nothing. The humiliation was like a poisonous snake gnawing at his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was so embarrassed in front of a woman!
After returning to the palace, Chu Ze immediately gave orders to summon all the generals to discuss the attack on Kunlun Palace.

"I will destroy Kunlun Palace and cut that witch into pieces!" Chu Ze roared, his voice filled with murderous intent.

The generals looked at each other, no one dared to speak. They all knew that Kunlun Palace was in a strategic location, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the palace master was highly skilled in martial arts, with many experts under his command. If they attacked rashly, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

"What? Are you all mute?" Chu Ze became even angrier when no one responded.

"Your Majesty, please calm down," the Minister of War said cautiously, "The strength of Kunlun Palace should not be underestimated. We still need to make long-term plans."

"Take a long time to think about it? I can't wait that long!" Chu Ze slammed the table, "I want to attack Kunlun Palace now!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" An old general stood up, "Kunlun Palace is in a dangerous position. If we attack rashly, we will only sacrifice the lives of our soldiers in vain!"

"I don't care!" Chu Ze roared, "I want revenge, I want that witch to pay the price!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" The generals knelt down and tried to persuade him.

Chu Ze looked at the generals kneeling on the ground, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that he was too impulsive just now.

"Everyone, get up," Chu Ze waved his hand, "I will think about it again."

The generals then breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

Chu Ze sat alone on the dragon throne, lost in thought. He knew that attacking Kunlun Palace was not an easy task. He needed a foolproof plan.

Just then, a eunuch walked in.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li requests to see you."

"Let him in."

Eunuch Li is an old eunuch in the palace. He is a shrewd man and is deeply trusted by Chu Ze.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Li bowed, "I have a plan that can help Your Majesty capture Kunlun Palace."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Chu Ze became interested.

"Your Majesty, do you know that Kunlun Palace has a weakness?" Eunuch Li said mysteriously.

"What weakness?" Chu Ze asked hurriedly.

"Kunlun Palace is located in a remote area and is short of supplies, especially food, which is even more dependent on external supplies." Eunuch Li said, "If we can cut off Kunlun Palace's food supply, Kunlun Palace will fall within three months."

Chu Ze's eyes lit up, and he thought that Eunuch Li's plan was brilliant. (End of this chapter)
