While Buttface was elated, Xu Que was even more elated.
Looking at Buttface who was dashing in, Xu Que felt as though he had seen a ray of hope.
My savior is finally here. I can finally get rid of this awkward situation!
Buttface, you have worked hard!
Xu Que was extremely grateful. His hands formed a seal and he recited the spell of the necklace.
"Ouch!"
Buttface screamed and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Xu Que quickly got up and shouted, "Buttface, how dare you plot against me!"
"Ouch! Brat, you tricked me. Didn't you faint? "Buttface was infuriated. It was very uncomfortable to be strangled by the necklace!
"Hmph, this is actually a trap. I came here early in the morning to set this trap and lay on the ground to test you. I didn't expect you to be so daring. You have disappointed me. Hmph, I will find a place where no one is around and bury you." Xu Que said righteously. He pulled Buttface up and walked out with his head held high and chest out.
The Empress was still in a daze. She was shocked by Xu Que's "kiss".
All this while, she had treated Xu Que as a junior.
But now that Xu Que said this, she sensed something. She felt a strange throbbing in her heart.
...
In the end, Buttface was beaten up by Xu Que. His screams resounded throughout the palace.
On one hand, Xu Que wanted to beat him up because he wanted to make the scene more realistic.
On the other hand, it was because Buttface really wanted to beat up Xu Que. With Xu Que's narrow-mindedness, he would definitely take revenge on the spot.
However, Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief. The situation just now was really dangerous. If he had accidentally said something like "kiss", people would have misunderstood him.
Therefore, Buttface's appearance freed him from the awkward atmosphere. Therefore, he gave Buttface one less punch as a reward.
After beating up Buttface, Xu Que did not waste any time. He set off for the Imperial Mausoleum.
Although the Imperial Mausoleum was full of traps, Xu Que not only had a map but also the key given by the Empress, so he could easily enter.
Furthermore, after yesterday's Tribulations, Xu Que had successfully stepped into the Infant Transformation Stage. Coupled with the huge amount of experience points he had accumulated previously, he managed to rush up to level three of the Infant Transformation Stage in one go. His powers had become much stronger and his physique had become extremely tough. He could totally ignore most of the traps in the Imperial Tombs.
This time, it only took him four hours to find the location of the Dragon Vein. He successfully picked the Genesis Water Herb and put it into the system package.
Of the five herbs, he had successfully obtained three. As for the remaining Genesis Wood Herb and Genesis Earth Herb, he could only ask Duan Jiude for them!
"Oh yes, the beautiful Empress Dowager of the Metal Nation mentioned the Ice Jade Pill!" Xu Que thought after picking the herbs.
When he came out, he turned into one of the chambers. Not only did he take the Ice Jade Pill, but he also took the rest of the pills and the incantation.
Since they were all buried in the Imperial Mausoleum, it was better to take them out and make use of them instead of letting them rot here.
Therefore, Xu Que had gained a lot from this trip and left contentedly.
However, he still had some conscience. He really helped the Water Empress to find a new Dragon Vein. With the ability of his Dragon Search Formula, finding a new Dragon Vein was not difficult at all. In addition, the Water Nation was a vast land with abundant resources. It was very easy to find a good Dragon Vein.
After spending a whole night, Xu Que led the Dragon Vein to the Imperial Mausoleum and successfully protected the future of the Water Nation.
...
The next morning, Xu Que returned to the Imperial Palace. He subconsciously avoided the Water Empress's bedroom.
According to the book on flirting, the most taboo thing to do was to be embarrassed. Therefore, in such a situation, it was best not to see each other.
However, although Xu Que wanted to avoid her, the Water Empress came to find him.
He sneaked back to his room and found that the Water Empress was sitting on a stone chair in the small courtyard. Obviously, she was waiting for him.
"Did you get the spiritual herb?" The Water Empress was the first to speak. She was as dignified and elegant as usual, as if she had forgotten what had happened yesterday.
Seeing her like this, Xu Que smiled cheekily and said, "Of course I got it! Is there anything that I can't handle? "
"That's good. What's your next plan?" The Water Empress smiled and nodded.
"Of course I'm going to get even with Duan Jiude. It's a pity that I don't know where he is. I have to spend some time looking for him." When Xu Que mentioned Duan Jiude, he couldn't help but gnash his teeth. If he found that old guy, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
The Water Empress hesitated for a while and said calmly, "As far as I know, he has already returned to the overseas. Someone saw him in the South Continent. He might be going to the Immortal Mansion Trial in a few months!"
"The South Continent?" Xu Que was surprised.
According to the original memory of this body, Xu Que did not know much about this world.
He only knew that the place he was staying in was within the boundaries of the Five Nations, also known as the Five Elements Mountain. The Five Elements Mountain was a relatively remote place in the East Continent.
The true center of the Eastern Wasteland Continent was beyond the sea. There were countless powerful sects and clans there, and there were many powerful experts.
However, because the sea was too vast, only the Sky Incense Valley and the other two major sects had a foothold there and could use the Teleportation Device to get there. As for the rest of the people, most of them knew very little about the central region of the East Continent.
Now that the Water Empress mentioned the South Continent, Xu Que understood that there was more than just the East Continent. There was also the South Continent!
Moreover, he had heard about the North Sea Kun Peng before, which meant that the North Sea was also a big area.
There was the North, South, and East Continent. Maybe there was a continent in the west.
"The South Continent is located in the south, and faces the East Continent across the sea!" The Water Empress knew that Xu Que had never heard of the South Continent. She smiled and explained, "Besides the East Continent and the South Continent, there is also the North Sea and the West Desert. You will have the opportunity to go to those places in the future. Those places are suitable for a genius like you!"
"So, I have to go to the South Continent to find Duan Jiude?" Xu Que was surprised.
"Yes, but I don't think you should find him! The Genesis Earth Herb and the Genesis Wood Herb are not unique. I will go overseas soon, and then I can help you find them! "The Water Empress said calmly.
"No, Duan Jiude is coming for me. He even pretended to be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Obviously, he doesn't respect me. Also, I am a powerhouse. If I avoid him like this, I will have an inner demon!" Xu Que said half-truthfully.
Other people might have inner demons, but he definitely didn't.
He wanted to find Duan Jiude to get even with him and to save his face.
However, the Water Empress was persuaded. After reaching the Infant Transformation Stage, a cultivator's Dao was very important. If an inner demon appeared, it would have a great impact on the cultivator, and he might even be devoured by it. The consequences were very serious.
After pondering for a while, the Water Empress finally said, "You are right. I'm afraid I can't avoid him either! You should get ready. After some time, I will go to the South Continent with you. Maybe Duan Jiude will give me some face. "
"OK, that's settled! But I don't need him to give me face at that time. We will fight when we meet! "Xu Que said in high spirits.
Then he seemed to think of something. He looked at the Water Empress and said, "By the way, if I'm not in a hurry, I want to go back to the Fire Empire to deal with something!"
