The next morning, Xu Que decided to visit the Water Empress. He was feeling very energetic and happy.
He was very excited. In the past, he always felt pain when he hit Buttface with his hands. However, he had been pummeling Buttface the whole night and did not feel any pain until a few hours into the duel.
This meant that his body had been greatly enhanced. Soon his body would be as invincible as the God. He just had to fully develop all the other characteristics of his Hell King’s Prison Suppression Style.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Young lady, it’s me.
Come in please.
Xu Que opened the door and walked into the Water Empress’ bedroom. He noticed that she was reading a ancient book. It looked like a book filled with magic inscriptions. The Water Empress casually placed the book on the table.
Young lady,
Xu Que said,
I want to take an adventure to the Imperial Tomb of the Water Nation and get revenge on Duan Jiude.
The Water Empress smiled.
I used to think that going to the Imperial Tomb was too dangerous for you, but after seeing your performance yesterday, I know you will be fine. So go and do as you please.
Thank you. You have not even seen me at full strength, you know. I am much more powerful than you can ever imagine. I have many skills and talents. For example, I am a professional at Doggy Style and Picking the Grapes. We can do it together when you have time!
Xu Que said with a pure smile.
Good!
The Water Empress said innocently as she smiled.
Xu Que could tell that she was bothered by something. Maybe she was worrying about the Dragon Veins.
Right… A few days ago, I found a new Dragon Vein,
Xu Que said,
though it is not as powerful as the one we have right now. Still, the more Dragon Veins you get, the more powerful the protection of the Water Nation will be.
There is no need to rush,
the Water Empress said.
You can transfer the Dragon Vein after you collect all five Holy Herbs.
While it is true that the Dragon Vein would benefit the country, the changes it would bring about would be extremely gradual. The influence of the Dragon Vein wouldn’t be evident for a long time. Thus, the Water Empress didn’t feel the need for Xu Que to transfer the Dragon Vein right away.
Young lady,
Xu Que said, concerned,
what’s bothering you? You look very preoccupied. Would you mind telling me?
Xu Que asked, smiling as he sat opposite her.
He looked at the book the Water Empress was reading earlier. It was called One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones.
Seriously?! I never thought she would have a portion of that book too!
Earlier, when he bought the Zhai Bao Ge, he accidently got the third chapter of One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones. The System had told him that it was a Star Rank item, which meant it was ranked even higher than Celestial Rank.
However, he was disappointed when he found that it could not help him create three doppelgängers. Later, he found that it could only help to change one’s fate, which was of no use to him at all, so he lost interest in it.
Don’t worry,
the Water Empress said.
I am only in the bottleneck period of my magic inscription cultivation.
Are you talking about the magic inscription in the book on your table?
The Water Empress nodded.
That’s right. You can read it if you like. There are some lines about the Taoism which I think are really good. But remember, never try to do the cultivation based on its magic inscriptions.
As far as I am concerned, it belongs to the Star Rank, which is a very high rank. You would just lend it to me like this?
Xu Que pretended he was very surprised.
Hearing this, the Water Empress was a bit stunned.
You know of this book? Yes, it is of high rank, but it has been divided into six chapters. I have been trying to collect all the chapters over the years, but I’ve only managed to get the first and the second chapters so far. As for the rest chapters, I am afraid they have been buried in the river of history and can never to be found. This is why you should never do the cultivation based on the magic inscriptions. It’s not worth it to do so.
Sorry, I can’t agree with you on this,
Xu Que said.
As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way. You never know what you can achieve until you try your best.
The rest of the chapters cannot be found? Haha, that’s funny. I happen to have the third chapter!
You are indeed a positive person,
the Water Empress said,
but I am afraid the rest of the chapters cannot be found. My parents spent their whole lives searching for them, yet we’ve only found the first and the second chapters. As for the third chapter, even I have no idea where it is. I don’t think it will be possible for me to find the rest of the four chapters in this life.
Hearing this, Xu Que finally knew why the Water Empress was feeling upset. She didn’t think she would be able to find the rest of the chapters.
Last time, the Ice Queen told me that you are unfortunate, but I don’t agree with her. Why do you want to do the cultivation based on the magic inscriptions in this book?
he asked.
Hearing this, the Water Empress went silent. After a while, she raised up her head and looked at Xu Que.
I am indeed unfortunate.
It’s fine. I am with you now, you will be OK,
Xu Que said.
Hearing this, the Water Empress smiled and gently nodded. He was about to touch her head with his hands, but the Water Empress looked so demure and elegant that he felt too embarrassed to touch her.
You are not convinced that the other chapters can be found? Xu Que thought. Well, it seems that I have to put more effort into my words!
Young lady, let me do some magic for you.
Magic?
The Water Empress was a bit confused.
I can conjure up anything you want. But in return, you have to promise me something. It is completely fair, I assure you.
You can really conjure up anything I want?
she asked, a bit interested. The Water Empress smiled. She did not have high expectations. Besides, she knew that this sort of magic did not even exist.
If I manage to conjure up the thing you want, you have to promise me one thing, since performing this magic takes a lot of energy. Using so much energy all at once could even shorten my lifespan,
Xu Que said rather seriously.
Does this magic really exist? the Water Empress thought in surprise.
Little guy, if what you say is true, then I forbid you to perform this magic,
the Water Empress said, shaking her head. She did not want Xu Que to take such a great risk.
I will be fine. As long as you can promise me this one thing, I will be fine,
Xu Que said.
Then, tell me, what do you want me to promise?
the Water Empress said gently. She still did not believe this was true.
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled.
If you give yourself to me, I shall move the Earth.
