Chapter 982: Chapter 981: Female Hoodlum and Master_1
The darkness receded slowly like the tide, but due to his severe injuries, Shi Xiaole did not wake up immediately.
This time, he had first fought a tough battle with the Xuanyuan Martial Emperor, already sustaining serious injuries. Although he later used a deadly technique to instantly kill three Earthly Realm Martial Emperors, the aftermath of the deadly technique still inflicted a strong impact on his body, injuring him further.
In the end, he forcibly took the Purple Wood Sword Emperor and fled, running all the way, which caused his injuries to become uncontrollable, and he eventually passed out.
Shi Xiaole vaguely remembered that he had collapsed in a hidden corner. With the methods of the Misty Rain Alliance and the Lake Sea Alliance, finding him was not difficult.
But he was not in a hurry.
First of all, being in a hurry was useless. Secondly, he still held a sliver of hope in his heart, hoping that the Earthly Realm expert from the Divine Sect would find him before anyone else.
But that guy was really unreliable!
In fact, Shi Xiaole’s initial plan was to disguise himself as a peerless master and then use the deadly technique to deter everyone, taking Yan Yuchai and the others to leave. It was the Divine Sect expert who secretly communicated with him, telling him to act boldly.
Instead, that guy shrank back until the very end before making a move. Without the deadly technique, Shi Xiaole almost got himself killed by the opponent!
He wondered how the Purple Wood Sword Emperor was doing?
And where was this place?
Was it safe?
Shi Xiaole’s mind was swirling with thousands of thoughts, and as his consciousness gradually returned, he also heard two voices, neither light nor heavy, probably because the two people did not know he was awake, so they spoke without any restraint.
"Pan Eunuch, is this the person you brought for this palace?"
This was a woman’s voice, naturally alluring, as if a feather was gently teasing your heartstrings. Judging by the beauty of her voice alone, among the women Shi Xiaole knew, probably only Xi Xianglei and Shui Lingping could compare with her.
"Is Your Highness the Princess satisfied?"
The second voice was somewhat shrill, likely the Pan Eunuch mentioned by the woman.
"Just by looking like this, how can this palace draw any conclusions."
Pan Eunuch chuckled, always giving Shi Xiaole the feeling of ill intent, "May I ask Your Highness, what does this person look like?"
"Breathtakingly...uh, quite handsome."
"Among the men Your Highness has seen, where would he rank?"
"Well, barely number one."
Pan Eunuch then asked, "What about his physique?"
"Very good, this palace has seen."
"And what about his background?"
Pan Eunuch’s voice already carried a lecherous laugh.
To Shi Xiaole’s surprise, the woman candidly replied, "Quite substantial." After saying that, she even laughed to herself.
"This servant must tell Your Highness, this young man has a martial arts talent that surpasses all others, past and present, and is extremely skilled in dealing with people. In this servant’s entire life, I have never seen anyone more outstanding than him. This servant believes that if he and the Princess are united, they will surely produce the most outstanding man in the entire world. This servant congratulates Your Highness in advance!"
By the end, Pan Eunuch himself was overly excited.
Her Highness the Princess said, "Then when can he wake up? The Blood Sacrifice Ceremony will begin soon, and I would like to consummate with him quickly."
What exactly were these two people talking about?
Shi Xiaole was completely baffled. But his extraordinary psychological quality allowed him to quickly summarize the situation.
First, he likely had not fallen into the hands of the experts from the Misty Rain Alliance and the Lake Sea Alliance because the two speaking seemed to be from the royal palace.
Second, he had been brought here by this Pan Eunuch.
Thirdly, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has ’inspected’ herself and views me as a means for procreation?
What in the world is this place?
Just as Shi Xiaole was hesitating whether to wake up or not, he heard Pan Eunuch laugh and say, "Actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn’t need to worry, some matters do not necessarily require both parties to be awake to be conducted."
Good heavens, this old eunuch harbors ill intentions!
The Princess was silent for a moment, then also laughed, "Of course I know that. However, it’s quite troublesome; it would be better for Pan Eunuch to find some medicine to save time."
Cough, cough, cough.
Shi Xiaole knew that he had to wake up now, or else he didn’t know how these two would deal with him.
Hearing the noise, two pairs of eyes with different implications turned to look at Shi Xiaole.
"Tsk, tsk, you look more lively with your eyes open."
That was Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Shi Xiaole turned his head and finally saw her clearly. She had her long, lustrous black hair arranged in a cloud-like chignon adorned with a gold hairpin set with a red agate, and two fringed earrings hanging elegantly from her white jade earlobes. Her ornaments were simple, but exuded an aristocratic and grandiose elegance.
The woman was dressed in pink and white, wearing a gauzy long gown interwoven with strands of silver, draped with a bright red fox fur cloak. Half her body reclined lazily against the back of a chair made of pearwood, with her right leg crossing a three-foot distance, resting on the edge of the bed where Shi Xiaole was lying.
Seeing Shi Xiaole awaken, her phoenix eyes glanced slightly, and the corners of her mouth lifted, which oddly gave Shi Xiaole the impression of being flirted with.
"How are you feeling, had a comfortable sleep?"
She asked with a condescending smile.
Shi Xiaole disliked this feeling, so he propped himself up from the bed to meet her gaze on an equal footing, "Thanks to your rescue, I shall repay this favor in the future."
When the woman saw his action, her smile grew even thicker, "Why wait for the future? You can repay me tonight. Just clean yourself up and obediently lie down on my bed."
Anyone being teased or even humiliated by a woman in such a manner would not be in a good mood, and Shi Xiaole said, "Don’t joke around."
Before waking up, he had already checked his body and found that apart from his injuries, he was unharmed, but Shi Xiaole had no intention of causing a scene.
Because standing behind the woman, Pan Eunuch, who looked like a chubby and kindly smiling gentleman, had an aura too terrifying to be underestimated, no less than the Fire Emperor or the Heavenly Water Great Emperor.
"The Princess is not joking. I had Pan Eunuch save you because I took a liking to you. Rest assured, I will treat you well. Once we have achieved our purpose, you can go wherever you wish, and I won’t stop you."
She appraised Shi Xiaole from head to toe with a smile and then instructed Pan Eunuch to prepare a bath and food, a demeanor indicating that she was determined to have her way.
Shi Xiaole never imagined that he would be forced by a female hooligan one day, and feeling stifled by this, he dared not act out under Pan Eunuch’s benign gaze.
He was all too aware of how venomous the old eunuch could be.
"Sister Emperor, I heard you found the person."
As Shi Xiaole was at a loss, a hearty voice came through, and the door opened to reveal a young man about seven and a half feet tall, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe with an imperial bearing, entering the room.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Pan Eunuch promptly bowed in salute.
The woman also stood up from her chair and called out "Your Majesty," but her demeanor remained indolent, while the man did not find her behavior odd and continued to smile handsomely.
However, when he saw Shi Xiaole on the bed, his pupils abruptly narrowed, and his expression instantly became frozen.
"Your Majesty, is something amiss?"
Pan Eunuch asked with concern.
The man paid him no heed but walked to the bedside and looked at Shi Xiaole, saying, "Master!"
