Chapter 144: Li Daoxuan, are you willing to practice dual cultivation with me?
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised when he heard this. For some reason, he always felt something was weird.
"Don't worry, no matter what happened today, I won't tell anyone else."
When the mother-in-law heard this, her expression relaxed a little. She looked Li Daoxuan up and down, stretched out her old hands and touched his shoulders and arms, as if she was touching his bones.
"He has a strong foundation, like a dragon and a tiger, and his appearance is also regular, not bad."
She pushed open the door and said, "Come in."
Li Daoxuan got goose bumps all over his body when she touched his bones. He hurried into the empress's boudoir and was about to turn around to say something.
Bang!
My mother-in-law closed the door and didn't come in.
He was left alone in the Empress's boudoir?
No, not alone.
Li Daoxuan looked towards the phoenix bed. Under the heavy pearl curtains, a beautiful figure was sitting inside. Through the red candles on the bedside, his perfect profile could be vaguely seen.
Under the bed, there was a pair of cloud-shaped brocade shoes embroidered with green bamboo leaves, which were slender, delicate, small and exquisite.
Li Daoxuan recognized that they were the empress's embroidered shoes.
Could it be that the Empress... is lying on the bed?
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when Tang Seng met the Queen of the Kingdom of Women at night, which was somewhat similar to the present.
Li Daoxuan swallowed his saliva, sniffed the elegant fragrance, and his heartbeat quickened slightly.
"Why do you come to me again, you sly fellow?"
The graceful figure behind the curtain was the first to break the silence. Through the light and shadow, one could see that she seemed to be holding a book and reading it carefully, her voice sounding a little nonchalant.
It is indeed the voice of the Empress!
But for some reason, Li Daoxuan felt that the Empress' voice was less cold and distant than before.
Li Daoxuan did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly told the story of Longyou County. Finally, he said: "My queen, I came to Qingming Realm this time to ask you to help subdue Yang Guang!"
Lady Qingyi listened to his words quietly, remained silent for a moment, and finally let out a soft sigh.
"You came at the wrong time. I'm injured and can't fight for the time being."
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan was greatly shocked. In his mind, the Lady in Green, who was so powerful and almost invincible, was actually injured?
"My queen, is it about the battle with the Empty-bellied Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon?"
The figure behind the curtain nodded slightly and said, "Yes, they both have some skills. They are no match for me if they fight alone, but if they join forces, it will be a bit troublesome."
Li Daoxuan was very worried and asked, "My Lady, are you seriously injured? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lady in green hesitated for a moment, and inadvertently turned the pages of the book much faster.
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Li Daoxuan could hear the hesitation in her words, but since the queen didn't say anything, he could do nothing.
"In that case, your Highness should have a good rest. I will take my leave now."
Since the Queen was injured, Li Daoxuan naturally would not ask her for help again. Moreover, the Qingming Realm was under martial law now, so the Queen probably would not leave easily.
Now we can only hope that nothing goes wrong with Master and that we can get our Grandmaster over here.
He turned and walked to the door, trying to open it.
The door didn't move at all, as if it was under a ban.
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised.
At this time, my mother-in-law's voice sounded outside the door, speaking in a serious and earnest voice.
"My queen, Li Daoxuan is the Qingming Envoy you personally selected. He is one of us. He is the most suitable person for that matter."
"Besides, I have personally checked him out. He has a strong foundation and is vigorous . Besides, his appearance is also very handsome. It is not an insult to the queen."
The more Li Daoxuan listened, the more confused he became. What was going on?
He turned and looked at the phoenix bed. Behind the curtain was a beautiful figure with loose black hair. The book in her hand had not been turned for a long time.
Hearing that the queen didn't say anything, the mother-in-law sighed, "Miss, we are no longer lonely ghosts now. The entire Qingming world and thousands of living beings are counting on you. If the Empty-bellied Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon find out that you are injured..."
The beautiful figure behind the curtain finally closed the book she had not even read, bit her red lips lightly, and her originally clear and celestial voice became a little more helpless.
"Grandma, I understand you, please go down."
"Yes, miss."
…
Li Daoxuan turned around and looked at her. Seeing the queen's conflicted look, he thought of a possibility.
No way!
His heartbeat began to speed up, and when he looked at the slender and elegant figure behind the curtain, he felt a sense of ambiguity for some reason.
"In fact, my mother-in-law advised me for a long time before you came."
The voice of Lady in Green remained calm, like the sound of a fairy bell or jade chime, exquisite, clear, elegant and pleasant to the ear, but Li Daoxuan seemed to be able to hear the uneasiness in her heart.
Like still waters that run deep, you don’t know where they’re coming from.
Obviously, what she was about to do was something she had never experienced in more than a thousand years. With her experience and spiritual heart, she could not be completely calm.
"My lady, what is going on?"
Li Daoxuan asked, his voice also a little uneasy .
"Li Daoxuan..."
Lady in green pondered for a moment, but still said that sentence.
"Are you willing to practice dual cultivation with me?"
Li Daoxuan froze in place for an instant, as if struck by lightning.
Although he had some vague guesses, when the Lady in Green, who was always otherworldly and like a goddess descending to the earth, said such words in her cold celestial voice, the huge contrast made it difficult for him to believe his ears.
“This, this, this…this…”
He was dumbfounded for a moment and could hardly speak .
The lady in green behind the curtain seemed relieved. She said calmly, "Of course I have to respect your opinion on this matter. Since you don't want to, then forget it—"
"My queen!"
Li Daoxuan came back to his senses and immediately said, "If this can heal your injuries and protect the Qingming Realm, then why would I care about my life?"
He looked righteous and stern, but in fact he had his own plans in mind.
Any normal man would probably find it difficult to refuse such a thing.
Li Daoxuan was not a saint, but a normal man. He admired the peerless beauty in green very much.
At the same time, he also respected the Empress very much and did not have any improper thoughts, because the gap between the two was too huge.
One is a high and mighty god, a ghost fairy who has lived for thousands of years, the Lord of Qingming, while he is just a cultivator in the late stage of Qigong.
But if there really is such an opportunity, which can not only bring you closer to your big shot but also help him, why not do it?
He can't be like Liuxia Hui for the time being.
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, the lady in green behind the curtain was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly and said: "In that case, you go forward."
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and walked towards the phoenix bed step by step.
For some reason, at this moment he felt a sense of blasphemy against the goddess. This was probably the first time that a man had been allowed to get so close to the goddess' bed.
Standing by the bed, the figure behind the curtain became clearer. Li Daoxuan could see the waterfall-like black hair, the jade-like skin, and the exquisite profile that was as if created by the work of nature.
Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and slowly opened the curtain.
What came into view was the Empress's stunningly beautiful face, like that of a banished immortal. Her eyebrows were like smoke on distant mountains, her red lips seemed to contain cinnabar, her nose was straight and upturned, her eyes were like lacquer, and her temperament was cool and unworldly, awe-inspiring and holy.
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, because the empress on the phoenix bed was not wearing a green outer garment, but only a plain white long skirt as an inner lining. Her hair was as crystal clear as ice and snow, and she was as beautiful as a fairy walking out of a painting.
She didn't know when she started flipping through the book again, but she didn't turn the page for a long time. She picked up a corner of the page with her slender fingers, but didn't turn it over.
After a long moment, she sighed softly.
"Take off your shoes and come to the bed."
