Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Hundred-Year-Old Little Boy_1

The Empress did not speak, but those daunting eyes of hers kept shifting ceaselessly.

Although Dong Fangxiao had not been following the Empress for long, as a Shadow Guard who had been instilled with the idea of swearing undying loyalty to the Empress since childhood, she understood the Empress’s temperament as if it were the back of her hand. Seeing the Empress like this, Dong Fangxiao did not say anything more, but suddenly rose to her feet and left without making a sound.

Shortly afterward, the Empress closed her eyes once again, but her never-before-touched brows furrowed together.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, as if talking to herself or to someone else, "Indeed, just as I had suspected... Li Muyun, you claim it’s all for Zhao’er’s sake. So, when you learn that only one of you can live—Zhao’er or you—how will you decide... Hmph, probably just like back then..."

This time, Zhao’er’s blood-drinking lasted longer than ever before, and it was more lethal!

As she drained your blood, your mind began to grow hazy, as if your Three Souls and Seven Spirits were about to be sucked away and assimilated by her.

Thankfully, Zhao’er finally released her mouth in the end, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

You looked at Zhao’er...

She too stared blankly, adorably back at you...

Suddenly, you noticed a ray of light—more precisely, you saw a soft, creamy white light within Zhao’er’s eyes. This light was unusually spirited, representing Zhao’er’s only flaw in her near-perfect existence: intelligence!

Had Zhao’er’s intelligence awakened?

You stared at her for a long time, but she remained the same. As she met your gaze, not the slightest flicker crossed her pupils.

When you looked up again, you felt somewhat disheartened to discover that the light was only the reflection of the moonlight in her pupils.

Sigh.

It was past eight o’clock, and because of the gemstone gifted by the Empress, Zhao’er did not fall into sleep. Both of you sat side by side by the campfire, looking up at the bright, clean moon above...

The next morning, around ten o’clock, the car stopped, not because it had malfunctioned, but because there was no road ahead, or to be more precise, even with the powerful off-road capabilities of Ye Xiao, it was impassable.

You got out of the car, shouldering the bulky mountaineering bag and holding Zhao’er’s hand, you headed towards the rugged mountains in front of you.

The journey was indeed rough; only by dusk did you reach the halfway point of the mountain range where Dayan Rock was located. The path became even harder, with steep cliffs everywhere.

"Yun, you’re sweating."

As you contemplated whether to use the Heavenly Ascension Spell on the huge boulder blocking the path, a fragrance wafted over. Zhao’er’s jade hand gently swept across your forehead, a cool sensation spread over your body, and the sweat disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief and joy.

What a marvelous ability!

Turning to look at Zhao’er, she blinked, "This is too slow, let’s just go straight up."

"Straight up?"

"Mhmm."

Zhao’er took your hand, and in an instant, you felt unusually light, as if your whole body was floating.

Suddenly, your feet felt empty, and while still not fully comprehending, you found yourself standing atop Dayan Rock on the mountain peak!

This was the first time in your life you had experienced the sensation of flying, lightweight as a swallow, soaring with the wind. Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly worthy of a goddess.

Feeling the delicate touch of Zhao’er’s hand in yours, coupled with the thought of "Zhao’er is my girlfriend," the corner of your mouth twisted into a smirk, hehehe...

You’re being flirty again.

Looking at Dayan Rock from elsewhere, you would think it to be towering and majestic, but upon arriving at the top, you were amazed to find the vegetation surprisingly lush and well-arranged, almost as if someone had tended to it deliberately.

Moreover, the thicket here was so dense that the naked eye couldn’t see past the foliage at all.

Just as you were about to take Zhao’er for a leisurely stroll around, sudden footsteps sounded from ahead.

Had someone already come up?

Instinctively on guard, a brown talisman paper neatly fell into your hand.

"Rustle."

Before long, a little lad dressed in a Taoist robe emerged from the bushes.

At that moment, you couldn’t help but be taken aback, as the thought naturally crossed your mind, "Huh? Did Brother travel through time with a goddess?"

The Taoist boy had a delicate appearance, and his eyes were especially lucid. Approaching, he bowed slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li greets you with respect. My master has prepared fine tea; please follow me along with this lady."

You frowned, "Do you know who I am?"

The Daoist boy smiled subtly, giving no response. His expression made you feel that your previous question was rather foolish.

Shrugging your shoulders, you said with a laugh, "Alright then, trouble you for leading the way, young friend."

The Daoist boy smiled indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Li, I have just passed the centennial mark this year."

"What?"

You were startled!

A life span of a hundred years is considered a ’centennial mark’, and this little lad had actually passed a hundred years!?

You had thought about scanning him with the Sen Luo Eye, but realizing that doing so might anger the other party, you decided against it. You then followed the centennial lad deeper into the thicket.

After crossing several tens of meters of dense thicket, a sudden clearing greeted your eyes.

Before you appeared an ancient-looking manor, and on the clearing in front of the manor’s gates was a helicopter. At the door stood two cheongsam-clad, graceful hostesses.

Seeing your astonished expression, the centennial lad turned and said to you with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li, let’s go."

With those words, he cheerfully hopped and skipped towards the manor.

However, as the centennial lad entered the manor, one of the hostesses stretched out her hand and patted his head, saying with a smile, "You little rascal, weren’t you supposed to greet the guests? Why did you leave them behind and run off on your own?"

He stuck out his tongue, "Well, this guy isn’t what I expected."

Watching the centennial lad enter the manor, you, following with Zhao’er, fist-saluted the two hostesses, "May I ask, where is this place?"

The two hostesses bowed respectfully, and the one who had spoken earlier said with an elegant smile, "Master Li, this is Star Picking Manor. The mistress has been patiently waiting inside for some time now."

"Mistress?"

First, a centennial chap, and now a mistress of the Star Picking Manor? Your brows furrowed deeper still.

Seeing the crease in your forehead, the other hostess spoke tenderly, "Master Li might have been deceived by Little Jie once again. Though that child loves to play tricks, he has a good heart. Please don’t hold it against him later."

So that was it. Slapping your forehead, you told yourself internally that you were indeed gullible, believing whatever a little chap said.

After chatting briefly with the two hostesses, you entered the manor with Zhao’er.

As soon as you entered the manor, a familiar face came to meet you. Before you could speak, Zhao’er behind you called out her name first: "Little
