Chapter 1049: Chapter 700 Vigilance

Just as the Queen of Xuan City had said, she had arranged a comfortable residence for Li Changhe.

It was a mansion that was not very large but was quite exquisite.

The mansion even came with over a dozen court eunuchs who were as beautiful as flowers.

Of course, Li Changhe decisively declined the eunuchs’ offers to assist him with bathing and dressing, and found an excuse to send them away from the mansion.

Outside the mansion, hundreds of the Queen’s Royal Guards guarded each exit, with many more patrolling around the premises.

Among them, Li Changhe noticed the red-robed Great Priest he had seen in the Bottom Nest, the Priestess of Summer.

It seems that the Queen of Xuan City was not unguarded against Li Changhe, or perhaps the priestess had begun to suspect him?

"She’s probably planning to confine you first, then gradually attempt to seduce you into agreeing to her plan with various methods," Xiao Nan, sitting in front of a bronze mirror, combing her hair in the room, did not speak out loud but communicated with Li Changhe via [Friends].

The reason being that both of them were within the range of the Queen of Xuan City’s Divine Country, and every move within the Divine Country was difficult to hide from the Queen’s perception.

In other words, the two of them might be under surveillance by the Queen of Xuan City at this very moment.

Of course, with the small stone sculpture brought out by the girl and its effect on the Divine Country, the Queen probably couldn’t see everything clearly. But they still needed to be careful. If their conversation or behavior alerted the other party to something amiss, it would be too passive for them.

"Trying to corrupt me? That’s something even the Blood River failed to achieve. She still has a long way to go..." Li Changhe replied through [Friends], and went behind Xiao Nan, playing with her silky hair.

This was no boast at the walls of Yuezhou City in the Great Tang, Li Changhe had heard the enticements and bewitchment of the Evil God, Blood River.

That being wanted Li Changhe to become its Believer, its God’s Chosen. But even the Evil God itself could not corrupt Li Changhe, let alone the Queen of Xuan City who hadn’t even reached the level of a Demigod.

"You have the Black Mud Divinity, and as a divine creature, you have strong resistance to this kind of corruption. But for most people, the slightest slip could have them follow the path without their knowledge. It might be through a book, or a piece of audio. They may unknowingly begin to worship the Evil God," Xiao Nan said in [Friends]: "This is also why the official agencies of various countries in the Real World are very vigilant. In some organizations, people are corrupted by the Evil God without their knowledge and become the henchmen of the Evil God. Then they may betray or continue to deceive their teammates, and it is difficult for the outside world to notice."

"Is becoming a divine creature safe then?" Li Changhe was hearing this for the first time.

"No, there are cases of divine beings being influenced as well. For example, if the Queen continues to seduce you and you relax even slightly, perhaps you will end up just as she said," Xiao Nan leaned back, with her little head against Li Changhe’s stomach, her eyes looking into his: "But obviously, that’s impossible."

"Of course, the only one who can seduce me in this world is you, little girl," Li Changhe chuckled, leaning forward to kiss the girl’s lips.

...

On the other hand, the Queen of Xuan City raised her eyebrows slightly, indeed keeping an eye on Li Changhe and Xiao Nan. But she didn’t find any anomaly.

They hadn’t sneaked out of the mansion, nor had they discussed anything related to Xuan City. Instead, they were talking about how nice the room’s furniture was.

As for the hugs and kisses that followed, the Queen saw them as normal behavior.

"Could Spring have guessed wrong?" the Queen of Xuan City wondered. The Spring Sacrifice had sent warnings to be wary of Chen Guang, and she herself had stayed in the Protectorate to monitor the two girls.

Fearing that they would do something to threaten Xuan City.

While the Queen was pondering, she suddenly sensed something and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She sensed that the pregnant woman in Inner city was about to give birth!

The time to test the results had arrived!

...

And in the outer city, as night fell, most people had already entered the land of dreams.

However, the esteemed Priestess of Spring and Priestess of Autumn were leading a team in the streets near the inn, silently surveilling Chen Yu and Qiu Wentian.

"As of now, it looks like they have no intention of leaving the inn," reported a Royal Guard. "However, what’s strange is that they haven’t ordered any food. The same goes for those from the Great Tang Protectorate. They all brought their own food supplies."

"Hmph, they are cautious indeed," scoffed the Priestess of Spring. "Keep an eye on them, especially those two women. The moment they make a move, seize them immediately!"

"Wouldn’t this provoke that Chen Guang? It seems those two are his concubines," said the Royal Guard with some hesitation. "They are the queen’s guests, after all."

"That’s uncertain," said the Priestess of Spring, shaking her head. "The four of them definitely have something to hide. Continue the surveillance. Once tonight passes, the grand festival of Xuan City will begin. If they’re going to make a move, they won’t delay for too long."

The Royal Guards nodded in agreement. The Priestess of Spring might not have been the strongest in combat, but she held a lot of sway in the entire Xuan City.

The queen of Xuan City was obsessed with experimentation and life ascension,

while the remaining three priests each had their own character flaws.

The Priestess of Summer appeared meticulous in executing tasks, yet she was prone to fits of rage.

The Priestess of Autumn, although amiable, conducted herself promiscuously in private, not differentiating between men and women, and even violated her own female officials.

The Winter Sacrificial Priest, on the other hand, was someone no one dared approach.

Only she, with her meticulous mind, was the most suitable leader.

All the rules, big and small, in Xuan City were the product of her creation. And to repay the grace of the queen of Xuan City, she was determined to protect Xuan City with all her might.

She had a growing sense that if she did not act soon, Xuan City would inevitably fall into crisis.

Therefore, she said to the Priestess of Autumn beside her, "Autumn, go and make contact with them as soon as day breaks. With your abilities, capture them. Especially that short-haired girl who was mentally possessed. Her resistance should be very weak now. Capture her; I need all the intelligence she knows!"

The Priestess of Autumn smiled faintly, nodding with anticipation and said, "It’s exactly what I wished for. I’ll pry open her mouth my way~"

Her ability was a kind of charming art. When fully unleashed, those affected would see her as the object of their affection, and any action she took would be understood by the affected person.

It was an exceptionally powerful ability to twist the mind and was effective on both men and women.

That was one of the reasons the Priestess of Spring kept her around for help.

Afterward, the Priestess of Spring issued several more orders to ensure prompt reactions in case of any unexpected events.

But she was still unaware that as she plotted her strategies, many of Xuan City’s residents, deep in their sleep, saw that Bottom Nest which was like Ghost Eels.

And like the Black Mud Divine, that night, countless Xuan City residents were awakened by nightmares.

Meanwhile, inside the inn, Qiu Wentian, who was taking care of Chen Yu, was checking her flexible sword.

(It’s coming soon)
