Chapter 464: Something Every Man Knows!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the s.p.a.cious bedchamber, the atmosphere was quite strange. There was a momentary lull.
Standing there with dilated eyes, Xu Que could feel the rapid beating of his heart.
Even though he had once seen the naked body of the Water Empress in the Tower of Souls, the sight of her snow-white shoulder still aroused him greatly.
However, the Water Empress was quite calm. It seemed she didn"t know how attractive her shoulder was to Xu Que. She unb.u.t.toned her collar and removed a blue jade necklace from her neck.
The necklace was weaved with tiny silvery chains. Each silver chain was saturated with a mysterious power and archaic aura. The blue jade in the middle was crystal clear, and would s.h.i.+ne brilliantly in the sun. The blue jade was also giving off a faint but refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.
"Little chap, your Heavenly Tribulation is approaching. Take this necklace with you and it will help you cross the Heavenly Tribulations and hone your cultivation in the future," the Water Empress waved her hand. Then the necklace rose up into the air and flew to Xu Que slowly.
At the same time, she tidied up her dress and resumed her elegance.
Xu Que was dumbfounded immediately. I was ready for the intimacies, but is that all you wanted to show me?
She…she is such a bully! I am a kind person, but I am not someone to be bullied! No, I shall get more glimpses at her!
Then Xu Que widened his twinkling eyes and stared at the Water Empress… in her face.
I only saw one of your shoulders, and now I shall have a good look at your face. Losing is not acceptable!
"Little chap, what"s wrong?" the Water Empress asked at this moment. It seemed she had noticed the change in his expression and she now looked at him with puzzlement.
"What?" said Xu Que earnestly, not taking his eyes off her.
The Water Empress was confused but had not figured out Xu Que"s trick. "What"s wrong with you? Is my face dirty?"
Xu Que said, "No, just leave me alone. I am practicing Shut-eye Meditation!"
The Water Empress couldn"t help laughing. "I"ve only heard of Silent Meditation. Where does your Shut-eye Meditation come from? In addition, your eyes are opened widely. How can you comprehend Zen this way?"
Without changing his expression, Xu Que said, "This is the highest state of Shut-eye Meditation!"
Lying through your teeth!
Xu Que would never say the second half of that sentence.
The Water Empress was embarra.s.sed by his expression. Then she said, shaking her head, "You are always weird. Okay, just take the necklace, it will be helpful for your cultivation in future."
"Okay!"
Xu Que came to himself and found the necklace floating in front of him. He grabbed it with his hand.
He had hardly found the necklace in his palm when he felt the warmth of the blue jade, which was also giving off a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.
My G.o.d! Her body temperature and body fragrance?
As an expert in adult topics, Xu Que figured out the origin of the temperature and fragrance immediately. He was so excited that he almost had a b.l.o.o.d.y nose again.
For ordinary beautiful girls, Xu Que would never be so excited.
However, the girl in front of him was the unparalleled Water Empress, who was G.o.dlike in her beauty!
The necklace in his hand used to be closely pressed to that part of the Water Empress"s body.
"Little guy, why are you absent-minded again? Are you worrying about the Heavenly Tribulation?" Seeing Xu Que"s weird expression, the Water Empress couldn"t help but show her concern. She didn"t take any adult content into her consideration.
Xu Que smiled quickly and replied, "Aha, it doesn"t matter. Just the Heavenly Tribulation, nothing to worry about. I just want to know whether you still need necklaces or not. If you do, I am willing to give you some…"
"I still have necklaces. It"s unnecessary for you to give me more," the Water Empress said with a faint smile.
Although she had lived a long time, her knowledge in certain fields (the adult content field) was far less than that of Xu Que. Therefore, she thought Xu Que was just about to give a necklace back to her and didn"t understand the flirtatious undercurrent in Xu Que"s words.
"What a pity!" Xu Que said regretfully.
The Water Empress smiled. "It seems you are not nervous. It would be nice to stay this way. For the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation, you shall be strong and confident. Timidity and anxiety shall be avoided!"
Xu Que crossed his legs unnaturally to hide his embarra.s.sment. He pretended to watch the necklace in his hand carefully. "Young lady, is this necklace a magic amulet? Wow, is… it an eight-star magic artifact?"
Suddenly he felt moved emotionally.
To his surprise, this necklace was indeed an eight-star magic artifact!
According to his knowledge, eight-star magic artifacts were quite rare in the five nations. The only eight-star magic artifact he possessed had been obtained from b.u.t.tface out of deception and violence, yet was still so enviable for many cultivators.
But now the Water Empress had generously given her eight-star amulet to him after finding out that he was about to take the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Young lady, please take it back. I really don"t need such a precious magic artifact to complete the Heavenly Tribulation." Xu Que felt a little bit too embarra.s.sed to accept this necklace.
After all, he could complete the Heavenly Tribulation easily. An eight-star magic artifact was really unnecessary. Moreover, the eight-star magic artifact was very precious for many people, but it was nothing to someone like Xu Que who had the System.
In addition, he could tell that this necklace was very important to the Water Empress. After all, it was an eight-star magic artifact—maybe it was also loaded with other special meanings. Otherwise, the Water Empress wouldn"t wear it against her skin.
"Just take it." The Water Empress smiled a bit, which was very charming. Then she turned around and walked to the table.
Xu Que fell silent, so he had to accept it by nodding his head. Then he continued to sit there, crossing his legs.
The Water Empress started to make tea. The next moment she raised her head and looked at Xu Que. "How about a cup of tea?"
"No!" Xu Que closed his legs unnaturally and looked away.
He really had no choice. As a young man, his "little brother" was too impetuous. If he didn"t cross his legs, the prominent erection would be too embarra.s.sing. This was something every man knew!
The Water Empress found Xu Que"s behavior even weirder, so she made a cup of tea and said, "Really? Don"t you want a cup of tea?"
Xu Que shook his head, "You drink first!"
The Water Empress smiled. "What? Are you afraid of being poisoned by me?"
Xu Que shook his head again. "No!"
The Water Empress was quite curious. "Then why don"t you want to drink it?"
Rolling his eyes, Xu Que said earnestly, "I can"t drink, for later I need to drive."
"What?" the Water Empress was stunned a bit.
The word "drive" reminded her of the time that Xu Que had taught her how to drive an excavator in Fire Country.
However, she couldn"t figure out how "drinking tea" was related to "driving"!
But she wouldn"t waste time pondering something she didn"t understand. She just felt like Xu Que was acting generally quite normal, except his behaviors were a little bit weird.
After a short while of silence, the Water Empress picked up her cup and took a sip of the tea. Then she looked at Xu Que. "Little chap, when will your Heavenly Tribulation come?"
Xu Que closed his legs again and counted with his fingers. "According to my calculations, it should be tomorrow!"
"Okay, tomorrow you can complete your Heavenly Tribulation at the Temple of Heaven. As an optimal place to complete the Heavenly Tribulation, it is protected by magic arrays, which can weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. You have crossed the 49 Heavenly Tribulations. The power of the 59 Heavenly Tribulations will be higher. But don"t be too worried, I will look after you in the Temple of Heaven. In case any unexpected emergency occurs, I will ensure your safety," the Water Empress said earnestly, nodding her head.
After hearing that, Xu Que frowned immediately.
Weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation? No! If the Heavenly Tribulation is weakened, how will I strengthen my body with the h.e.l.l King"s Prison Suppression Style? And how will I continue the cultivation of the Monkey Blocks Lightning?
No, no, I don"t want to take the Heavenly Tribulation in this place!
Then, he looked at the Water Empress and asked, "Since there is an optimal place to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, there must be a dangerous place to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, right?"
Without thinking about it, the Water Empress replied with a smile, "The Imperial Tombs are absolutely the most dangerous place to take the Heavenly Tribulation! The former emperors, who were all experts, were buried in that place. Together with the power of the Dragon Veins, the Heavenly Tribulation would be very violent in that place!"
Xu Que was so delighted after hearing that. Then he said, patting his thigh, "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the Imperial Tombs!"
