Chapter 95
Chapter 95 – Diao Chan
The next day, a six-year-old child was escorted into the inner palace . She was the young Diao Chan .
"Little girl, behave yourself when you are in front of the prince . He will be the Emperor in a few months . Be sure to get his favor, so you can become the next Empress . "
"…"
The girl did not talk . She only looked at his adopted father with her indifferent eyes and s.h.i.+fted her gaze forward .
w.a.n.g Yun sighed . Although she was cute and had potential to grow up into a beauty, she was cold to everyone . She never played with other children of her age . She only spoke if she was asked a question . She never expressed her emotion to anyone . All she did all day was gazing into a distance as if she was thinking about something .
At first, w.a.n.g Yun thought this child was slow or an air-head . However, one day he asked her an ambiguous question to jest her . "What"s the purpose of life?"
She answered him in a monotonous tone . "A trial . "
w.a.n.g Yun was shocked by the profoundness of her answer . It was short, yet deep . Most importantly, it was not something that should come out from the mouth of a young girl!
Ever since then, he always tested her with difficult questions, which she answered all of them in a profound manner .
He believed that this girl was a genius child, so he did not hire any tutor for her but gave her scrolls and books to her instead .
She did not betray his expectation as she read and memorized all of them . She could even recite every word from every difficult annals, record, or scripture that she had read .
With this kind of intelligent child, he could offer her as a candidate for the next Empress with pride .
…
w.a.n.g Yun and Diao Chan were guided into Liu Ping"s private hall . Once they entered, Liu Ping was already there with his doll, w.a.n.g Li, by his side . They were sitting on the same seats as yesterday .
"Reporting to your highness . I"ve brought my daughter . "
Liu Ping stared at Diao Chan with great attention . A few seconds later, he sighed in disappointment .
He knew that Diao Chan should still be young because she first appeared in the year 192 in w.a.n.g Yun"s ploy to sow discord between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo . He did not expect that she was still this young .
Despite being disappointed, he stood up and walked toward the little girl .
"Come here . Let me take a good look at you . "
Diao Chan was recorded as one of the four great beauties of ancient China . Even if she was too young at the moment, she would dazzle every man in the next ten years .
With that in mind, Liu Ping decided to take her in and waited until she was ripe for a picking . In the meantime, he had many women he could play with as all concubines of his father had been pa.s.sed down to his . Therefore, he could wait .
Diao Chan stared at the incoming Liu Ping . Her face was emotionless, and her eyes were still as cold as ever .
Liu Ping stopped in front of her . He reached out his hand to touch her cheek .
Suddenly, he came to a pause . His arm stopped moving toward Diao Chan while his eyes stared straight into her eyes . His inner instinct was crying inside his mind, asking him to flee at this very moment .
"This is odd . Why am I feeling insecure about this girl?"
"Because I knew she backstabbed Dong Zhuo in the history?"
"Nah, I am imagining things . "
"But my instinct was never wrong . "
"The last time I had this feeling it"s before that b.a.s.t.a.r.d broke into my house . "
"Should I be wary of her?"
"… Hmm . "
"Come to think of it . That night, there"s a gold spot in the radar map . "
"Is it her?"
"Nah, she"s too young to be another reincarnator . "
"All reincarnators so far are at the same age as me . "
"She"s a historical figure . I doubt someone reincarnated as her . "
"Am I overly paranoid?"
"… Hmm . "
He pondered for a moment before he withdrew his hand and moved back to his seat .
"Very well, w.a.n.g Yun . I"m interested in her . She will live in my palace from now on . Once she grows up, I"ll see if she qualifies to be my Empress . "
"Thank you, your highness!"
w.a.n.g Yun bowed and gestured Diao Chan to bow too, which she followed after her father .
"Guards . Call the servants! Escort her to a guest house . Be sure to treat her with respect!"
"Yes, your highness!"
The guards at front door rushed out . Less than a minute later, a dozen female servants rushed into the hall and bowed to Diao Chan . They guided her to the new home of the future Empress .
w.a.n.g Yun grinned from ear to ear when he saw the treatment . He succeeded in forming a bond with the royalty . This connection would give a boost to his career advancement .
…
…
Diao Chan was guided into a luxurious room . Inside the guest house, there were many picture arts hanging on the walls . Green jade vases and a marble table were arranged in an orderly manner . A king size bed was located in the middle of the room . It seemed that this room was decorated for an important concubine or the likes .
Diao Chan excused the servants and asked to be left alone .
The maids left the room in a hurry . After the door was closed, Diao Chan climbed the bed and sat cross legs .
As usual, she stared into the void s.p.a.ce in front of her and mumbled to herself .
"What a waste of time . The skill is already nerfed . "
"There"s no need for me here in the first place . "
"There"s that [Super Human] skill . It"s quite dangerous, but there are many counters to it . "
"Should I stay a bit longer so I can delete that skill?"
"Even if I can delete it right now, I can"t escape this place in one piece . "
" . . . If it wasn"t because of the system, this job would have been done right then . "
"What to do …"

…
Under the skins of the future great woman hid a demon soul inside . Medusa had picked Diao Chan"s embryo as her target of reincarnation .
For ordinary reincarnators, it was impossible to be reincarnated as important people or any historical figure, such as warlords or generals .
However, administrators from the netherworld or celestial world had the rights to possess the body of such people as they had to interfere with a reincarnator if he/she ran amok and ruined the ecology of a planet .
In this dimension, an abnormally had occurred . Therefore, Friday and Medusa had an excuse to infiltrate into this world to maintain the balance of the trial . However, they did not expect this dimension system to unleash its wrath upon them instead of monitoring the otherworlders .
Although the system hated the two demonesses, it also attacked Liu Ping . This was a piece of good news for Diao Chan .
"He has a [Banned] skill attaching to him . "
"It should be fine to leave him be . "
"But …"
"What"s with that girl!? She"s practically a monster!"
"If I have to delete a skill of someone, it has to be that girl!"
"But she"s under a mind control spell . Liu Ping doesn"t have that skill on him . "
"It"s definitely a system power . But there was no trace . "
"Who did it to her?"
"If I undo her mind control spell, will she help me?"
Diao Chan pondered for an entire day . Before dinner time, she came up with an idea .
"System, I want to bargain . "
[My apologies . I am not DorOOOmu and you"re not Dr . StOnge . We don"t bargain . ]
"…"
[Just kidding . Go ahead . What do you want?]
"What price do I have to pay if I want you to cancel my [Seal] skill?"
[Hoho! Are you sure? It will be very costly . ]
Diao Chan took a deep breath . Her current future was dark . She needed an alternative option if she wanted to break free from Liu Ping at the moment .
"Tell me . "
[Answer my simple question . Then I"ll lift the ban for you . ]
"It"s that simple . Then ask me . "
[Alright, money question, there is a mutated soul among the reincarnators you immortals had sent . I want to know which generation of the demon that infected him . ]
Diao Chan frowned . She was hesitating if she should answer this question . If she answered, everyone on Heaven and h.e.l.l would know, and chaos would follow .
[It seems too hard for you . Then I"ll change a question . The demoness that turned that man"s soul into a mutated, had she come with you?]
"… Yes . "
[Good . That explains a lot . I think I can connect the stories of your people now . ]
[As promised, I"ll lift a ban for you . But I can"t get rid some of the bans because you failed to answer my first question . ]
*Ding*
[I have erased the condition (Host cannot accept any mission from the system) from your seal . You will also be able to access the system shop . However, the rest of the bans will still be on you . If you want to get rid of those, help me with some tasks . I"ll give you the details in the quest tabs . ]
