The Zhongzhao Empress was assassinated, and the Emperor was furious. He ordered the assassin to be captured within three days and killed on the spot.
What about the Empress who had "lost a lot of blood?"
Inside the Phoenix Palace —
The Empress' face was pale and her eyes were shut tight. Her breathing was weak, and her chest rose and fell almost imperceptibly. Her haggard appearance was heart-wrenching.
The Empress had fallen into a deep coma due to her severe injuries and blood loss, and no one knew when she would wake up.
Little did they know that while the Empress' body was asleep, her "soul" was unusually active.
In order to cover up her flaws, she had used a dagger to hurt herself, and her soul had already flashed into the portable System Space.
There was a modern and romantic bungalow in the System Space. It was exquisitely designed and had a garden, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters. There were all kinds of household appliances. In order to make her life comfortable, she had spent a huge amount of popularity points to exchange for a generator and gasoline from the System to ensure that the entire villa had electricity all day long. Aside from being unable to log into the Internet, her life was even better than before she transmigrated.
"System — what happened to you just now? Why did you only reply after I called you for so long? "
The beautiful woman in the palace gown had a gloomy expression. Her heart was bleeding when she thought of the Life Substitution Puppet she had lost.
One Life Substitution Puppet card required 888888 popularity points. If she had not prepared nine cards for herself, Xie Qian would have killed her long ago. Thinking of the dangerous situation just now and Xie Qian's murderous intent, her face was extremely gloomy.
"Also — why didn't Xie Qian die?"
Thinking of the nine Life Substitution Puppets she had lost and the six million worth of [Fake? Supreme of Wulin], she felt her heart tremble.
If the System had responded earlier, she would not have had to pay such a huge price.
After a while, the System's rigid electronic voice sounded in her ears.
"Host, this is normal. It's not that I didn't react in time, but Xie Qian's attack was too sharp and accurate. He destroyed a Life Substitution Puppet with one shot, and the whole process took only three breaths of time." The System said solemnly, "Host, you have committed a grave sin. Now that Xie Qian has escaped, he will definitely not let this go. Letting a tiger return to the mountain will lead to endless trouble. You were too careless … "
The woman was flustered. "That year, I clearly saw Xie Qian jump off the cliff …"
She had never thought that an ancient man would be able to see through her disguise. With the help of the System, she felt that her acting was quite good, but she still exposed herself … If it wasn't for the System's reminder, she wouldn't have known that Xie Qian wanted to get rid of her … Although this world was in the ancient times, there were indeed a few people who were on the level of Taoists, such as Monk Liao Chen from the Hejian Temple.
Thinking of these strange people, the woman couldn't help but feel angry.
"Aren't you omnipotent? Why don't you know that Xie Qian is still alive?"
If it wasn't for Xie Qian, she wouldn't have had to spend so much money to get out of trouble.
The System said coldly, "This is not within the System's jurisdiction. The reason Xie Qian is still alive is because the host was careless. It has nothing to do with the System."
The woman was infuriated. She smashed the expensive tea set on the tea table with a sinister expression.
"Xie Qian … Wang Huiyun … This couple is really my bane!" The woman said angrily, her cheeks flushed. "If I had known that Xie Qian would do this, I would have imprisoned Wang Huiyun's soul back then so that she wouldn't be able to rest in peace even after death!"
The System remained silent.
The woman was an outsider who had transmigrated from another world. However, she did not take over the body after transmigrating. This was because Wang Huiyun's soul was still in the body, and this soul was very strong. She had no way of taking over the body of the original Wang Huiyun.
It was only when Wang Huiyun gave birth that her body and soul gradually weakened. With the help of the System, she seized the opportunity to take control of the body.
Although Wang Huiyun was a married woman, her looks and family background were top-notch. She was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman, and she even married a tall, rich, and handsome man.
She really thought that her luck had changed and she had activated her winner mode.
Who knew that Xie Qian would have a murderous intent towards her? Moreover, there was a troublesome fraud who had interfered and awakened the sleeping soul of Wang Huiyun.
After this woman woke up, she fought with her for control of the body, causing her to suffer a lot.
Later on, the woman changed her body and returned the original body to Wang Huiyun. She had wanted to torture her to vent her anger, but she did not expect that this woman's temper would be so fierce that she directly begged for death. Hmph … She got off lightly. Otherwise, she would definitely anger Xie Qian again.
After a while, the woman calmed down a little.
Thinking of how scary Xie Qian was, the woman was extremely nervous and involuntarily clenched her fists.
"System, how many popularity points do I have left?"
The System said dutifully, "97.63 million popularity points. Do you want to redeem a 'Life Substitution Puppet'?"
The woman scratched her head in frustration. "Against that lunatic Xie Qian, no matter how many 'Life Substitution Puppets' I have, they won't be enough for him to kill."
"The host can learn martial arts. The System Store has the top martial arts from various martial arts dimensions."
"What's the use of martial arts secret manuals? You won't be able to beat Xie Qian even if you sharpen your spear at the last minute. Moreover, practicing martial arts will deform your body. Who wants to suffer that kind of pain? Don't you have anything here that can be learned quickly … "The woman scoffed and started to flip through the System Store. She had thought of learning it herself, but after trying the skill books sold by the System, she was unwilling to learn it manually.
Why would she waste so much time learning something that could be done with a skill book? Only a fool would do that.
The System dutifully pulled out what the woman wanted. The dazzling skill books were dazzling.
They were all martial arts secret manuals that the woman was familiar with. Nine Yang Divine Skill, Nine Yin Manual, Yi Jin Scripture, Minor Phaseless Skill, Tianshan Plum Snapping Hand, Eight Desolation and Six Directions Technique … There were also countless Orange Martial Arts Skill Books that were not famous, but were of the same grade.
However, all of these top-notch Orange Skill Books had one thing in common — they were expensive!
"Ten million popularity points … Why don't you just rob a bank!"
The woman gritted her teeth in anger, but she knew that the System would not give in. She was just complaining that the System was selling things at too high a price.
She bought a Skill Book of the Nine Yin Manual, a Skill Book of the Wave-like Subtle Steps, a Skill Book of the Jade Female Sword Art, and a Skill Book of the Left and Right Inter-fighting Technique. With the Left and Right Inter-fighting Technique, one person would be able to perform the Harmonious Dual Swords with great power.
The three skill books and one supplementary skill book cost her a total of 35 million popularity points.
Looking at the plummeting numbers in her account, her heart ached terribly. However, she knew that if she did not strengthen herself, Xie Qian would make a comeback.
She slapped the cover of the skill book four times in a row. The orange quality skill book turned into a golden light and melted into her body.
In just a moment, she knew that she had mastered the top-notch martial arts.
Wave-like Subtle Steps was performed, and her figure was as ethereal as a fairy … After standing still, she looked at herself and muttered to herself, "This money was well spent. When I transmigrate back, let's see who dares to bully me? Those bitches that are cheap to the bone, I'll tear them apart one by one, hmph … "
