Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

In the evening, while Nalan Jingyi was bathing, Jun Wuxie asked for some of the divine spring water she usually used for bathing.

This spring water was a Divine Rank One, Initial Level divine spring, and the springhead was located deep within the imperial palace.

At this grade, it couldn't be considered very high-level in this world.

Nalan Jingyi was very curious about what he was going to do with this divine spring water.

After she came out of the bath, she smelled the fragrance of pills.

It turned out that he was refining pills.

In the inner chamber of her bedroom, he was standing in front of a pill refining furnace, studying the newly refined pills.

"This pill seems to have more pure medicinal Qi than the pills refined from your previous recipe…"

She stepped forward and observed for a moment, a look of shock on her face.

A pill with three times the cultivation speed, even if it was only of Saint Grade, was already very amazing.

No alchemist in the world had ever refined a pill that could achieve such an effect.

Now, the Qi of the pill in his hand was even purer, and it was estimated that the effect had exceeded three times.

"Not enough, it needs to reach four times."

Jun Wuxie said casually, and then began to tinker, modifying the amount of each medicinal material in each pill recipe, while also adjusting the purity of the divine spring water.

The Saint Pill he refined contained divine spring water, but it was not pure, it was diluted with holy spring water.

"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't refine pills? Why have you suddenly decided to refine pills now?"

"The main materials for the pill I'm researching are still the six herbs we purchased, supplemented by diluted divine spring water.

If the pill can reach four times the cultivation speed.

Then, when I sell the three-times recipe to the major merchant houses, and they buy back those six herbs from us at a high price, and then we put the four-times pill on the market, what do you think the effect will be?"

"In this way, wouldn't their three-times pills be unsellable?

The herbs they bought back at a high price can only be stuck in their hands!

At that time, we will buy them back at a low price and use them to refine four-times pills to sell?"

Nalan Jingyi looked at him in shock, this trick was really too damaging.

This was to cut off a few pieces of meat from the major merchant houses in the world.

"Her Majesty the Empress is indeed intelligent."

Jun Wuxie reached out and pinched her face, which was as smooth as jade.

"You… impudent…"

Nalan Jingyi hurriedly slapped his hand away, her face instantly turning red.

"Behind the major merchant houses in the world, there are shadows of the strongest aristocratic families.

Even if they are not the industries of the strongest aristocratic families, they must be their supporters.

You should know that behind the oppression of Apricot Flower Village, there is not only the Lanling Royal Mansion's Xiao family, but also the aristocratic families of other dynasties.

I just want to cut off a few pieces of meat from them.

Moreover, in our Lanling Dynasty, those big merchant houses must have a close relationship with the Lanling Royal Mansion.

This time, I want to bleed the Lanling Royal Mansion a little.

Over the years, the Lanling Royal Mansion has embezzled countless amounts of the dynasty's financial revenue, and it's time to spit some out."

"Being your enemy is simply a nightmare…"

Nalan Jingyi couldn't help but sigh.

Living with him day after day for the past month, the more she understood him, the more she felt that he was unfathomable.

"Let's study the pills another day, tonight you should go to the Empress's bedroom, the number one beauty of the dynasty is waiting for you."

Nalan Jingyi said.

"Isn't the number one beauty of the dynasty right in front of me?"

"You… do you really think I'm better looking than Xiao Ruoqing?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Nalan Jingyi's eyes.

"Of course, to be honest, in terms of appearance and temperament, you are indeed slightly better than Ruoqing."

Jun Wuxie said solemnly against his will.

In fact, in terms of appearance and temperament, Nalan Jingyi and Xiao Ruoqing were evenly matched, each with their own merits.

"Ruoqing, you call her so affectionately."

"Or, should I call you Jingyi in the future?"

"Who cares!"

Nalan Jingyi suddenly reached out and pressed her finger on his lips, saying: "How many women have you said sweet words to with this mouth?"

"Let me think, I can't remember clearly."

Jun Wuxie pretended to think, and then shook his head.

"It seems that there are too many to count, I knew you were a frivolous playboy who seduces women!

You are not allowed to call me Jingyi, you must call me Her Majesty the Empress!"

She said forcefully.

"Alright, alright, Her Majesty the Empress."

Jun Wuxie put away the pill furnace, walked towards the bathtub behind the screen, stretched lazily, "I'm tired after a day, I'll also take a bath to restore some strength, I still have to work hard tonight.

My life is really not easy.

Her Majesty the Empress, come and massage my shoulders and scrub my back."

"What are you thinking about?"

Nalan Jingyi glared at the screen angrily.

This guy washed himself clean and prepared to go to the Empress's bedroom.

Now he wants her to massage his shoulders and scrub his back!

Jun Wuxie didn't say anything more, soaking his whole body in the warm water, and couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.

Not long after, footsteps came from behind.

His narrowed eyes did not open.

Immediately, a pair of soft, slender hands were placed on his shoulders, gently kneading his developed trapezius muscles, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

As she kneaded, the pair of hands moved to his neck.

Immediately, his neck was strangled by the pair of slender hands.

"You are not allowed to be tempted by Xiao Ruoqing, otherwise I will strangle you to death!"

The person behind him said coldly with a hint of threat.

As soon as she finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, he pulled Nalan Jingyi into the bathtub from behind amidst her exclamation, splashing a spray of water.

"Hmm? The powerful Her Majesty the Empress, why did you run into my arms?"

Jun Wuxie looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

"You… let me go, let me go!"

Nalan Jingyi glared at him shyly and angrily, but her body struggled but could not break free.

"It's clear that Her Majesty the Empress is greedy for my beauty and took the initiative to run into my arms to take advantage of me, but you want to frame me instead."

Jun Wuxie's hands firmly fixed her in his arms, no matter how she struggled, it was useless.

"You… you are shameless…"

Nalan Jingyi couldn't bear his domineering gaze with a hint of teasing, and turned her blushing face to the side, saying: "Is this how you bully weak women?"

"Are you weak? I can't see that, you just said you wanted to strangle me to death, and in a blink of an eye you said you were weak, it doesn't seem very convincing."

"You… I am weak in front of you, you can't bully me…"

She still struggled, but the intensity was much smaller.

"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie leaned down and whispered in her crystal ear: "Then how about the high and mighty Her Majesty the Empress show me how weak you are?"

As he spoke, the heat sprayed on Nalan Jingyi's ears, causing her delicate body to tremble uncontrollably, and she only felt that her whole body was weak, as if she had lost her strength.

"Don't… don't be like this…"

She felt her heart beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, her whole body was numb, as if electric currents were flowing through her limbs and bones.

Jun Wuxie looked at the blush on her face spreading to her neck, and couldn't help but chuckle, then released her.

Nalan Jingyi breathed heavily, staying in his arms for a long time before regaining some strength, hurriedly left the bathtub, and ran away as if fleeing.

She didn't even care about her wet clothes that were still dripping with water, and directly burrowed into the quilt, hiding her whole body.

Thump, thump—

In the narrow space inside the quilt, she could hear her heart beating at a terribly high frequency even more clearly, and she only felt hot all over, especially her cheeks, as if they were on fire.

"Bastard, you actually teased me like this…"

She muttered angrily to herself.

She was so lacking in composure in front of him, and he easily made her lose her composure.

"Her Majesty the Empress, I'm going to Ruoqing's place.

By the way, remember to dry your clothes and quilt, don't catch a cold."

"Go away, hurry up and go find that vixen Xiao Ruoqing!"

Her voice was angry, and she still hid her body in the quilt.

…

Empress's bedroom.

Jun Wuxie transformed into the Emperor's appearance and came here smoothly.

The moment Xiao Ruoqing saw him, her beautiful and charming eyes lit up like two stars.

She dismissed all the palace maids, and then closed the door.

Jun Wuxie casually set up a barrier, and then dispersed the Eight Nine Mysterious Arts, revealing his true face.

"My lord, this concubine has missed you so much these days, you haven't been to my bedroom for five days…"

Xiao Ruoqing hurried forward, hugging him tightly with both hands, pressing her whole body against his chest.

She had long known that he was not the Emperor, and he had already revealed his true face last time.

Of course, she preferred his real appearance, which was much more manly than the Emperor's appearance, making her deeply fascinated by him.

"Let this concubine serve you to undress, my lord."

She left Jun Wuxie's arms, her face filled with a faint blush, her eyes charming and shy, but with a strong expectation.

"Has there been any movement from your father's side these days?"

Jun Wuxie walked to the phoenix couch and asked casually.

"Father is trying to disintegrate the two most elite legions in the Emperor's hands."

"Does it make you feel embarrassed and guilty to betray your father?"

Jun Wuxie lay on the phoenix couch, and Xiao Ruoqing leaned into his arms, saying: "Of course I do.

But this concubine knows very well that what father is doing is wrong.

As a subject, one should not have rebellious intentions.

The emperors of the past have been kind to our Xiao family, and this concubine really doesn't want to see father and the royal family stand against each other.

Moreover, in father's heart, this concubine is expendable.

Although he seems to treat this concubine well, it is far less than his ambition, and even far less than my elder brother and younger brother.

This concubine only wants to get rid of the shackles of the royal mansion one day and be a free person."

"You should indeed get rid of these shackles.

The Lanling Prince's Manor not only restricts your freedom, but also your state of mind.

If you continue like this, unable to break free from these shackles, your dual-pupil bloodline will forever remain buried.

Junlang, is the dual-pupil bloodline really as powerful as you say?

Xiao Ruoqing knew her bloodline was strong, but the might of the dual-pupil bloodline he described far exceeded her understanding.

Of course, no one in this world understands the power of the dual-pupil bloodline better than I do.

That I could meet Junlang, perhaps it was destined in the dark.

Xiao Ruoqing gazed at him with deep affection, "From the first moment I saw you, the strings of my heart trembled uncontrollably. I always felt a sense of familiarity from you, a desire to get closer and be intimate with you.

Junlang, do you think this is what they call fate?

She had always found it magical and strange.

She didn't know why she had that feeling.

Especially when she saw him in person, face to face, that feeling was even more intense, indescribable.

So-called fate is actually cause and effect.

Everything in this world has cause and effect within it.

The strong feeling of wanting to be close to me that you have, it all has a reason.

Of course, don't ask what that reason is now; I will naturally tell you in the future.

Mm, if Junlang says not to ask, then I won't ask.

Right now, I only want to serve Junlang well."

Xiao Ruoqing's slender hand caressed his broad, firm chest, her beautiful eyes filled with charm, like two pools of rippling autumn water.
