Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Dying by Her Hand is Also a Kind of Happiness_1

"Me?"

You pointed at yourself in surprise and said to Wei Shuxian, "Glasses, you really have a knack for spinning stories, but could you please stop pinning every cr*p on me?"

Wei Shuxian pushed his glasses up and said, "If I’m not guessing wrong..."

"Guess my a*s!" Yang Kai felt like strangling Wei Shuxian then and there. "When you speak, can’t you change this annoying habit of yours?"

Wei Shuxian smiled, "It’s a habit. But, it’s worth mentioning, why would the Empress, who once dominated the Tang Empire over fourteen hundred years ago and could stand toe-to-toe with the Heavenly Empress Wu Hao, be so sensitive to the words ’Yun Chu’?"

Wei Shuxian smiled gracefully as if he had the air of Kongming about him, but just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a strange noise from the air in front, followed by a "smack," and he was sent tumbling over, crashing heavily into Yang Kai beside him!

"Glasses! Hey, Glasses, don’t you die on me!"

Yang Kai shouted repeatedly, shaking Wei Shuxian without stopping.

"Pfft—Stop shaking me, or my little life will be shaken out of me."

Wei Shuxian, shaken by Yang Kai, spat out a mouthful of blood and fumbled on the ground for a while before finding his glasses, which had fallen nearby, and put them back on his nose.

Even though he knew that because of his words, the unpredictable Empress could potentially take his life in an instant, Wei Shuxian, true to his principle as a strategist, disclosed all the information he knew.

"I remember Old Shu once said that Fan Yi lacks two souls and three spirits, so I’m even more certain that she is the Incarnation of Myriad Forms. But why would the Empress, with her precious body, come all this way here?" Wei Shuxian smiled with a face that clearly showed his readiness to meet death, "I believe, the Empress has a significant connection with this daughter of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Upon hearing Wei Shuxian reveal her secret, the Empress let out another cold snort, about to raise her hand, but you quickly pressed down on the Empress with both hands, "Don’t hurt my brother!"

But the Empress glanced sharply, and a very powerful Qi Force rushed towards you, sending you flying once again.

However, this time you flew out of everyone’s sight!

Turns out, the clever you had already made plans. While being hit by the Empress’s Qi Force, you had used the Wind Curse already prepared on yourself. Despite your chest being struck and blood surging wildly, at least you had escaped the clutches of the Empress, and you also flew to the center of the underground palace, the spot wrapped in countless sources of True Qi, the Ice Crystal.

No one expected you to fly so far, and it wasn’t until you landed that the Empress realized she had been tricked by you. She lightly tapped her foot and her figure flickered towards you!

"Demon Girl, take this!"

"Boom!"

Along with Qin Bufan’s angry shout, a purple Thunder and Lightning bolt cut through the air!

The Empress’s figure halted briefly, barely avoiding the purple thunderbolt, and glanced sideways at Qin Bufan.

At this moment, with Qi Force surging and hair in disarray, she looked at Qin Bufan with eyes that seemed to be staring at a dead man.

"Master, let this slave take care of this scum."

Wu Qiuyue, shrouded in deathly aura, leapt beside the Empress, her cold gaze fixed on Qin Bufan.

Just then, Fan Yi moved again, her body slowly rising, floating midair, just like a superhero flying towards your location.

The Empress saw this and was about to move when Xi Yu, who had been standing in the shadows, unnoticed, suddenly stepped forward and stood by Wu Qiyi’s side, addressing the Empress, "Empress, please wait!"

"Shangguan Wan’er? You treacherous slave, still serving this vile woman?!" Although the Empress did not recognize Xi Yu due to the age difference, that did not mean Wu Qiuyue did not know her.

Wu Qiuyue’s words only led to shock among the bystanders, yet Xi Yu seemed to have already known, showing no surprise. With a calm expression and graceful movements, she opened her briefcase and took out an exquisitely crafted pouch that was even glowing with a phosphorescent light.

Upon seeing the pouch, the Empress’s face paused, and shock like never before appeared on her peerless visage.

"You... where did you get this pouch?"

"Reporting to the Empress, this pouch was personally handed over by the Heavenly Empress to the Luanfeng Pavilion Master, and has been kept by the Luanfeng Pavilion for over fourteen hundred years."

Wu Qiuyue obviously did not recognize this pouch, looked at the Empress, and confusion appeared on her face.

"What’s inside it?" the Empress’s voice grew colder.

"Reporting to the Empress, it contains a personal letter from the Heavenly Empress. In accordance with her secret orders, it was to be given to you when the Empress awoke."

Xi Yu bowed slightly and presented the pouch with both hands.

"Qiuyue."

"Your servant is here."

"Bring it to me."

"As you command."

Wu Qiuyue quickly walked over to Xi Yu, who seemed impervious to the odors of decay emanating from Qiuyue.

As the Empress took the delivered pouch from Wu Qiuyue’s hands, her demeanor naturally changed.

Looking at the pouch in hand, uncontrollable and affectionate images surfaced in her mind, and finally, the Empress did not forget to look over in your direction.

Feeling the Empress’s gaze, you turned back and glanced at her.

Without a word, you started walking around the giant ice crystal while the Empress was engrossed in reading the letter, and Fan Yi leisurely followed behind you, going wherever you went.

The Empress gently caressed the pouch, her eyes that could once glare someone to death instantly softened.

Seeing the Empress’s tender gaze, those who were just scared half to death by her suddenly felt their hearts melt. They even thought, "it would be a bliss to die at her hands."

The pouch had been handcrafted by the Empress herself, using Heavenly Silkworm Ice Silk and Five-colored Brocade—the pouch could withstand ice and fire, preserving whatever was inside for ten thousand years.

Back then, the Empress packed her purest and most joyous maiden heart inside it. As she was about to deliver it personally into Li Zhi’s hands, she saw behind the Imperial Garden her beloved man embracing her dearest elder sister. After a tangle of love and hate, the Empress’s personality drastically changed, forever setting her on a path of no return!

However, she failed to understand why, having casually discarded the pouch back then, it appeared here now, and still contained a personal letter from Wu Hao.

This was the first time since her personality changed that the Empress felt a sudden surge of nervousness.

She slowly opened the pouch and pulled out a silk book. The silk book was not long, but the characters on it were enduring. Surprisingly, opening the silk book still allowed the faint scent of ink to be discerned.

Seeing the Empress so earnestly reading the Heavenly Empress’s handwritten letter, everyone’s tension eased slightly, but soon, Wei Shuxian and others felt the air pressure drop suddenly!

Yang Kai seemed to have noticed something, patted Wei Shuxian on the shoulder, and discreetly pointed at the Empress.

Upon turning and seeing, Wei Shuxian shouted immediately, "Everyone, be careful!"
