Qu Xin Rui had repeatedly invited Jun Xie to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. Although Jun Xie had accepted the invitation the previous few times, but when faced with Qu Xin Rui's request to cooperate, he had not given any positive reply and had instead delayed it. And this time, Jun Xie had directly refused to go to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. That attitude, did not seem to be one that was willing to cooperate with Qu Xin Rui at all.
"Looks like your beauty did not move the heart of that little empress. This time, she actually used such a perfunctory reason to refuse to come. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that she will not come to see you in the future." Shen Chi said.
Qu Xin Rui gritted her teeth. It wasn't that she could not see Jun Xie's perfunctory attitude, but she had not thought that faced with her advances, a man would be able to remain so calm, and not only did he not lose himself in it, he was able to completely ignore her charm!
That, to Qu Xin Rui who had always prided herself on her beauty, was definitely a severe insult.
"Refusing a toast, he will have to drink a forfeit." Qu Xin Rui snorted coldly.
Shen Chi looked at Qu Xin Rui's face that was not looking too good and he reminded her: "The people in the Lower Realm do not hold much power and it would not be difficult for them to make Jun Xie bow down to them. But there is one thing you need to be clear about. He is afterall the Fire Country's Emperor and if you really hurt him, it will not be easy for you to answer to the Fire Country. The Fire Country's power is very important to us now and if we can convince the Fire Country to send out their troops to help us descend the Heaven's End Cliff, then our exploration of the Heaven's End Cliff will definitely be much faster than the Thousand Beast City. "
A mere little kid, Shen Chi did not even care about him. What really moved them was the Fire Country behind Jun Xie!
The mightiest country in the Lower Realm, the number of its soldiers was immeasurable.
"I do not believe that there is anyone under the Heavens who would reject eternal youth and immortality! He rejected it so decisively and did not seem to have much interest in the Purple Spirit. Could it be ….. that people from the other palaces have already come into contact with him? " Qu Xin Rui's heart jumped. Among the Twelve Palaces, seven palaces held a part of the map to the Dark Emperor's tomb and besides the Soul Return Palace, the other palaces who held the map must have already made their move.
The Fire Country might not be worth mentioning in the Middle Realm, but as a scapegoat, it would be the best choice in the Lower Realm.
Shen Chi had also thought of Qu Xin Rui's concerns but he quickly shook his head.
"If it is said that the other palaces want to make use of the Fire Country, I would not be surprised. But this Jun Xie is not a legitimate member of the Fire Country's Imperial Family and he had suddenly taken over the Fire Country's throne. The other palaces do not have many people like us who have remained in the Lower Realm all this while. He had just ascended to the Fire Country's throne not too long ago and with the previous Emperor being forced to abdicate, how could he possibly be willing to accept that? Even if someone from the other palaces had come into contact with the Fire Country's Emperor, it would not be this little Emperor who had just ascended to the throne. And the previous Emperor of the Fire Country, would not be so willing to hand over all the benefits from the Twelve Palaces into her hands. "Shen Chi paused a moment before he said.
"What we need to do now, is to win Jun Xie over to our side before the other palaces come into contact with him, and make the Fire Country under his banner work for the Soul Return Palace. As long as he has not left the Thousand Beast City, we will stand a better chance than the other palaces."
Calculating from the time that had passed, Jun Xie had almost gone to the Thousand Beast City on the very same day that he had ascended to the throne. Shen Chi was confident that even if the other palaces had received the news, they would not have the time to discuss cooperation with the newly ascended little Emperor!
