Chapter 940 The Queen’s Invitation
Zhao Xianlong said, “Since no one has any objections, then it’s settled. Young man, you have just arrived in our Tortoise Kingdom. Go and have a rest first. Regarding the exact time of the competition, we will decide after talking to the Chen Family.” fre ewebno vel.com
Then he asked Shangguan Qiong to take Qin Haodong and the others to the courier station of the kingdom to rest. Zhao Xingyue also went along with them.
After settling down, she took Qin Haodong to an empty room and said anxiously, “Big Brother Qin, can you beat Chen Ruyi without using your demonic beast?”
Qin Haodong said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you marry that guy if you don’t want to.”
“Thank you, Big Brother Qin!” After getting the guarantee, Zhao Xingyue finally calmed down and shyly said, “Big Brother Qin, I’m sorry. I came up with this idea under the pressure of circumstances.”
Qin Haodong said, “It doesn’t matter. We are classmates and friends. It is only right that I should help you.”
Zhao Xingyue lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Finally, she plucked up her courage, looked up, and said, “Big Brother Qin, I don’t want to use you for this. I really like you!”
“Uh...
“Let’s talk about it later. I’ll help you solve the current problem first.”
Qin Haodong had not thought about how to face Zhao Xingyue. His plan was that he would return to earth sooner or later, so he did not want to leave too many love debts in the Lingwu Continent.
At the Tortoise Palace, Wu Yuenian had also returned to her own resting palace. As soon as she entered, Xiahou Hongxiang came to welcome her. He was slightly nervous and said, “Your Majesty, has my matter been settled?”
He had totally relied on the woman in front of him to get all the glory and wealth to date. Once he lost the support of the Tortoise royal family, he would immediately be sent to the 18th level of hell.
Wu Yuenian sat down leisurely on her chair. She disdainfully said, “As long as I am willing to speak up for you, there is nothing that cannot be solved!
“Your problems have been settled, but you have to be careful in the future. Don’t make any more unnecessary mistakes. I don’t have time to deal with this nonsense for you.”
“Thank you for your help, Your Majesty!” Xiahou Hongxiang said with a fawning face, “In the future, I’m willing to serve Your Majesty at all costs. I will not begrudge anything, not even my life!”
“It’s good that you know how to be grateful.” Wu Yuenian waved her hand and asked Xiahou Hongxiang to stand up. Then, she said, “However, things have changed a little. Zhao Xingyue refused the marriage arranged by me in front of the King.
“She said that she fell in love with Qin Haodong. How much do you know about him?”
At the mention of Qin Haodong, Xiahou Hongxiang gnashed his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, look at those women next to that boy. You can tell that he is extremely lecherous.
“And this boy is extremely cunning. I’ve tried to kill him several times. However, I could not get the better of him at all. He’s still alive and well now.”
Wu Yuenian glanced at him disdainfully. “You can’t even deal with a young man in his twenties. You are really too incompetent.”
“Yes... yes, I’m incompetent.” Xiahou Hongxiang did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with Wu Yuenian’s contempt. He said with a flattering face, “Your Majesty, this guy is definitely a big disaster. We can’t let him live. We must find a chance to kill him.”
Wu Yuenian said, “Didn’t you say that he only has one seventh-level demonic beast, which is very powerful, and its cultivation is only the stage of the Voiding Realm?
“His Majesty has arranged for him to compete with Chen Ruy to marry the Princess the day after tomorrow. Whoever wins will be the son-in-law of the Tortoise Kingdom. I have already suggested to His Majesty that they are not allowed to use demonic beasts in the competition. Then, I don’t think he can make any trouble for us.”
Xiahou Hongxiang frowned and said, “Your Majesty, don’t underestimate this boy. I failed to kill him several times before because I underestimated his strength.
“Although it seems that he is only at the stage of the Voiding Realm, we don’t know if he has any other means. Thus, in my opinion, although Chen Ruyi seems to have an absolute advantage in this competition, Chen Ruyi is still not assured of winning.”
Wu Yuenian asked, “Then what do you mean?”
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “We’d better kill this boy before the competition. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to end it if he really wins this competition.”
“Is it really necessary to deal with such a young boy?”
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Your Majesty, don’t look down on Qin Haodong. It’s really necessary!”
Wu Yuenian thought for a moment and said, “Alright. I will use some small tricks to kill him.”
Then, she told him her plan. “His Majesty will come to my palace every night after dinner. I’ll ask people to call Qin Haodong into my resting palace and then we can carry out the plan!”
Xiahou Hongxiang said fawningly, “Your Majesty, you’re really smart. It is an excellent scheme. In this way, not only will His Majesty kill Qin Haodong in anger, but His Majesty will also vent his anger on Princess Xingyue and her companions. It’s really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.”
A smug look flashed across Wu Yuenian’s face. “Just in case, you will wait outside the palace with your men in advance. Without my order, don’t come in at will.”
“Got it, Your Majesty,” Xiahou Hongxiang responded.
Then, he exited the room and began making his preparations.
Wu Yuenian called the chief eunuch Ma Cheng over and asked him to go to the courier station to find Qin Haodong.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
After receiving the order, Ma Cheng came to the courier station with several little eunuchs.
Qin Haodong and the others were chatting. They were slightly surprised when they saw an old eunuch coming in.
Zhao Xingyue asked, “Chief Ma, what are you doing here?” freewebnovel .com
“Your Highness, I give my greetings to you.” Although Ma Cheng was polite, as the chief eunuch of the Queen, he was quite arrogant.
“Your Highness, I was ordered by Her Majesty to summon Qin Haodong to the palace!”
Zhao Xingyue said, “We just met Her Majesty. Why ask my Big Brother Qin to enter the palace again?”
Ma Cheng said, “I am only here to convey Her Majesty’s order. I don’t know the details.”
Qin Haodong was the only man present, so he didn’t need to ask and said directly to Qin Haodong, “Come with me!”
“Wait a minute. I want to say something first,” Zhao Xingyue said and pulled Qin Haodong aside.
Then she whispered, “Big Brother Qin, I guess that old woman must have ulterior motives to ask you to enter the palace. Why don’t I take you to beg my father now?”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I’m going to ask your father for help just because Wu Yuenian summoned me. Doesn’t that make me look a little incompetent?”
Zhao Xingyue said, “But that old woman is very vicious. Also, she has all kinds of dirty tricks up her sleeves. I’m afraid that you will suffer losses if you go...”
Qin Haodong said, “Don’t worry! The person who can make me suffer losses hasn’t been born yet.”
One of the most common things on earth was the palace dramas. Those plots and schemes of the palace dramas were shown and sold for money, plus the fact that he had lived for 500 years, so he was confident.
Zhao Xingyue said, “Well, you must be more careful.”
Qin Haodong nodded. Then, he turned around and followed Ma Cheng into the palace.
His Spirit was extremely powerful. Along the way, he noticed Xiahou Hongxiang and the others who were hiding in the dark. He could not help sneering in his heart. “Sure enough, this old woman called me here for a purpose.”
In the Queen’s resting palace, everything was decorated in pink. It was easy to make people have fantasies.
At this time, Wu Yuenian was completely different from what she was in front of Zhao Xianlong. Her former dignity and grace had been replaced by charm.
Moreover, the new clothes she was wearing gave Qin Haodong a feeling of luxury and sexuality. Half of her bosoms were exposed. It turned out that ancient clothes could really make women appear sexier.
She stood up and waved her hand. All the palace maids and eunuchs in the room were driven out by her.
She looked back at Qin Haodong and said, “No wonder Zhao Xingyue fell in love with you. You’re really good-looking.”
Qin Haodong said, “Your Majesty, why did you summon me here?”
“Don’t be so nervous.” Wu Yuenian smiled charmingly. “Look! What do I look like?”
Qin Haodong said, “Your Majesty, you are a great beauty who can cause fish to sink out of sight and the flying crane to drop down.”
“A great beauty? Cause fish to sink out of sight and the flying crane to drop down? Well said. No wonder Xingyue has taken a fancy to you.”
Qin Haodong said, “I’m just telling the truth.”
Wu Yuenian asked, “How do I compare with Xingyue? Who is more beautiful?”
Qin Haodong said, “Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum all have their strengths. Your Majesty and Her Highness, you are all beautiful in your own way.”
Wu Yuenian took two steps forward and said frivolously, “If you have to choose between Zhao Xingyue and me, who will you choose?”
Qin Haodong took half a step back and said, “I don’t dare to think about Your Majesty’s priceless body.”
Wu Yuenian giggled. “To tell you the truth, Zhao Xingyue and Chen Ruyi’s marriage was arranged by me. I will not allow anyone to break it up.
“If you are willing to quit now, I can let you be my frequent and welcomed guest. What do you think?”
At this moment, Qin Haodong had already guessed most of Wu Yuenian’s thoughts. He said, “Your Majesty, you must be joking.”
Wu Yuenian’s expression changed. “As long as you’re willing to withdraw from the competition, you can put forward any condition.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “What if I don’t want to?”
Wu Yuenian looked at Qin Haodong with blazing eyes and suddenly smiled. “Young man, if you are too stubborn, you will easily suffer losses.”
Qin Haodong said, “I am a principled person. There are some things that I will never give up.”
“Fine. Then pretend that I didn’t say anything!” Wu Yuenian’s temperament was fickle. She was back to her normal self again. With a kind face, she asked, “I heard that you are a Sixth-level Alchemist at such a young age. Is that true?”
“That’s right! I am indeed a Sixth-level Alchemist.”
“How’s your medical skill?”
“I have a slight knowledge of it.”
Wu Yuenian said, “You are quite modest. My heart has been hurting for a few days. Can you help to examine me?”
As she said that, she returned to the bedside and reclined on the bed. She put her wrist, which was as beautiful as a piece of jade, on the bedside. Her posture made her extremely towering bosoms even more eye-catching.
“Sure.”
Qin Haodong came to the bedside and began to feel her pulse. After a while, he withdrew his right hand and said, “Your Majesty, your body is very healthy. There is nothing wrong with you.”
Wu Yuenian said with a charming face, “But I often feel pain in my heart. Tell me. What’s going on?”
Qin Haodong said, “I don’t know.”
“You didn’t even take a good look at me.” Wu Yuenian suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed Qin Haodong’s hand, and put it on her heart. She said in a seductive tone, “Touch me here. Maybe you’ll find the cause.”
Qin Haodong suddenly came up with an idea. His powerful Spirit had keenly sensed footsteps outside the palace. It seemed that the King, Zhao Xianlong, was coming.
This woman was really good at scheming. Knowing that Zhao Xianlong would definitely come here at night, she set up a trap for him in advance.
There was a playful smile on his face. “Since you want to play, let’s have great fun.”
“Your Majesty, I can’t see very well just like that.”
As he spoke, he pulled forcefully with both of his hands. This move ripped Wu Yuenian’s upper clothes into pieces and they scattered like butterflies in the air. Her entire upper body was no longer covered and was exposed to Qin Haodong.
