The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 756 Bathing Pool
After bidding farewell to Eunuch Cao, Zhao Chen stepped into the Queen's bedroom again while thinking about his own things.

However, this time, there was not a single person in the huge palace. Not only was the Queen not there, but the palace maids who had been seen when I came yesterday were also nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Chen frowned, not knowing what was going on. He wanted to stay in the outer hall to deal with any changes, but who would have thought that at this moment a voice accurately reached his ears:

"Come in."

The voice obviously came from the Queen herself.

Zhao Chen was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that if someone like the Queen, who was suspected to be the "Shengxuan" True Lord, wanted to deal with him, there was no need to play any tricks at all, so he felt a little relieved and stepped into the inner hall.

But there was still no one here. Only a voice came from behind the door of a room in the inner hall:
wow~
This is obviously the sound of splashing water. Is that room the bathroom?
Zhao Chen was moved. He wanted to pretend that he heard nothing and go back. After all, what was the point of listening to the queen bathing here?

But before he could make any move, the Queen's voice came to his ears again: "I let you in!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chen had a puzzled expression. He first looked around to see if there were any ambushing "executioners", and then he gritted his teeth and walked to the door of the room.

At first glance, there was mist inside and a screen blocked the view, so I couldn't see anything.

Zhao Chen didn't know whether he should be relieved or regretful. He calmed down his messy thoughts and whispered outside the door:
"My lady, why did you call me here?"

"I let you in... Don't make me say it for the fourth time." A soft and charming voice sounded from inside the room, but this time it was not transmitted.

Zhao Chen opened his mouth: "This... this is inappropriate, right?"

This is only the second time we've met, so we're not familiar enough to be honest with each other, right?

“Oh, you should know some of my background... What I don’t want you to see, you won’t be able to see anything even if you stand in front of me, so feel free to come in.” Although the Queen chuckled, her tone was already impatient.

It seemed as if she would use force if Zhao Chen didn't obey her anymore.

Zhao Chen was helpless about this, but he couldn't help but think of the stories about the queen and the queen mother having affairs that Eunuch Cao had mentioned yesterday...

When that old guy said this, could it be that he was "pointing" at me?
But no matter how helpless he was, Zhao Chen did not dare to disobey the order of a person who was suspected to be "Shengxuan" Zhenjun, even if she was in poor condition.

"Then... I'm sorry!" After saying this, Zhao Chen gently pushed open the half-open door and walked in.

The bathroom was filled with fog, but the water in the pool was black... and not just ordinary black, but as deep and black as the night sky, and there were bits of "starlight" hidden in the black.

The Queen of Daxia was lying in the water with her back against a piece of green jade, without any covering on her body.

Fortunately, the water in the pool was opaque, and even spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness could not penetrate it, so Zhao Chen could only see two semicircles floating on the surface of the water...

Is this what you mean by "I can't watch what you don't want me to watch"? What does this mean? At this stage, can I watch the game "legally"?

Zhao Chen closed the door and walked to the edge of the bath, only to find clothes scattered all over the floor. The phoenix robe was completely torn from one side, and the buttons and laces of the inner clothes were also broken.

Apparently the queen was in a hurry to take a bath, and she didn't even have time to take off her clothes. "Are you... injured?" Zhao Chen half-knelt down in a place not too far from the queen, and asked with concern.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was the loser in the fight with Ping Xin for the authority of the Underworld? So these are all old injuries that have been difficult to heal.

"Yesterday, I gave you a ray of vitality, and your song touched my soul, which actually brought out some deeply hidden dangers.

"But this is a good thing. Once these hidden dangers that are like thorns in the flesh are completely removed, I can at least recover 30% of my peak state."

As the Queen spoke, water splashed across the unfathomable white ravines.

She paused, then continued, "One of the most serious injuries I received was caused by the concept of 'death' itself. If I hadn't been a 'ghost' to begin with, I would have probably perished completely.

"But even so, my soul is becoming more and more dead. I can feel that every 'future' me is slowly approaching 'eternal sleep', and most of the 'me' in the past has become 'historical dust'. Only the 'nostalgia' for the world can temporarily anchor my current state.

“So, I need music, paintings and all the beautiful things to make me linger.

"Your 'Five Immortals' Spiritual Qi' has obtained the 'Primordial True Meaning' and possesses the 'Beauty of the Great Dao'. It has a very good effect no matter what art or item it is attached to...

"But it's a pity that you are not yet a Grandmaster and have not yet truly mastered the great magical power of 'Five Emperors Paying Homage to the Truth'."

When she got to this point, her words suddenly stopped.

Because at this time, Zhao Chen, who was squatting by the bathtub, put his hand into the water and habitually "identified" it:

"Galactic Water, one of the treasures produced by the Star Raft's accessory 'Galactic Water Palace', enhanced by the 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Tu'."

However, as the identification results appeared in front of Zhao Chen's eyes, the dark pool water actually began to become "lighter"...

Zhao Chen knew that this was the creation of the "Great Sun Star Raft" absorbing the accessories, just like it absorbed the pollution on the imperial concubine's face before. He quickly withdrew his hand. After all, this pool of "Star River Water" was related to the queen's healing. He could not afford it if anything happened.

However, the Queen's reaction was greater than he had imagined. She almost sat up straight. It was only when she realized that her two soft white balls had completely floated to the surface that she came back to her senses. But her gaze towards Zhao Chen was still burning.

It turns out that you are not only the descendant of Taichu, nor the person that Moyun, Danfei, and Qingyuan have their eyes on, nor are you the so-called "candidate", but also the one of the promised ship...

The Queen's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. She raised her head unconsciously and looked towards the south, her eyes becoming sharp.

But soon, she returned to her previous lazy and charming appearance. She moved to the side to make room for an empty seat, then waved to Zhao Chen and said, "Come and sit here. Let's have a good chat."

Seeing that she did this again because of some unknown reason, Zhao Chen felt annoyed but decided to stop being pretentious and just went with the flow, unfastening his belt and getting ready to get into the pool.

After all, even the Xiliang Empress has been provoked. Even if it comes to real, it's like too many lice won't bite...
