Chapter: Only Those Who Act Cute Get Milk!
"Senior Sister, let them say what they want. No matter how well I do, they won't like me anyway," Zhang Xiaoli explained nonchalantly.
Wu Qianlian shook her head helplessly. "You should try to avoid giving them reasons to say such things about you."
"Alright, alright, Senior Sister, what are you here for?"
"After a while, Master is going into seclusion for cultivation and has called us over to discuss something. Let's go."
"Ah, Master is going into seclusion?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoli immediately became excited.
Master was very strict with him during the day, but now that Master was going into seclusion, didn’t that mean he could go out and have some fun?
"Senior Sister, once Master is in seclusion, let's go out for some training, just the two of us," Zhang Xiaoli said with bright eyes.
Wu Qianlian sighed in exasperation. "All you think about is playing. If the Eldest Senior Brother finds out, he will criticize you again. In any case, this time when Master is in seclusion, you are not allowed to go out. Focus on your cultivation; otherwise, with your mere eighth-grade cultivation level, when will you reach the next rank? If you don't reach it by thirty, be careful or you might get kicked out."
"Senior Sister, Master wouldn’t kick me out," Zhang Xiaoli said with a sense of ease.
The rules of the sect were strict; one had to reach a certain rank before turning fifty. Those who didn’t would have to leave the mountain and handle some mundane affairs for the sect.
However, Zhang Xiaoli believed that since he was personally brought in by Master and had been under his care since childhood, no matter how slowly he cultivated, Master would always be lenient with him.
Moreover, during this time, he had relied on a mysterious little blue bottle to raise his cultivation to the mid-eighth grade.
For some unknown reason, even though he faced no threats despite being pointed at and criticized for not striving for improvement, he was unwilling to reveal his true cultivation level.
He even kept it hidden from Wu Qianlian, who had always taken care of him.
Watching Wu Qianlian's retreating figure, Zhang Xiaoli smirked. "Senior Sister, just wait! When the time comes, I’ll astonish everyone and show you my true prowess!"
Meanwhile, inside the palace, Chen Anlin was outside the hall chatting with Sister Dou'er.
"Sister Dou'er, this time when I go far away, it's really not just for fun. I'm going to eradicate evil and promote good by eliminating the remnants of the Tai Sect. Later on, I'll ask His Majesty to let you protect me."
"And I'll treat your troublesome ailments while I'm at it."
As he spoke, Chen Anlin dramatically grasped at the air with both hands.
Yang Dou'er’s face turned crimson as she retorted playfully, "Is your treatment serious?"
Chen Anlin looked disappointed. "Sister Dou'er, don’t you know my character? Although I come from a good background, I've always been recognized as a gentleman! My treatment is definitely serious."
"Alright then."
Yang Dou nodded with a smile, secretly thinking that she had watched Chen Anlin grow up since childhood and he would never deceive her.
"But how do you know that there will be trouble from the demons of the Taijiao at the Yanzong?"
"I have my clues," he replied, giving her a knowing look.
Chen Anlin noticed that Li Gonggong had come out and raised his eyebrows at Yang Dou.
Moments later, he entered the main hall, where the temperature was scorching.
Wuxi Xue, dressed in a fiery red palace gown, was sitting at the desk, flipping through a novel.
Chen Anlin couldn't help but smirk; what a foolish ruler! Not only was she skipping morning court, but she was also neglecting official documents to read novels instead.
Sigh, as a subject, he thought he should worry more for the Empress; otherwise, this country would really be in trouble.
With that thought, Chen Anlin felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders grow heavier.
He lowered his head, paid his respects, and then unabashedly stole glances at Wuxi Xue's exquisite feet.
Why does the Empress prefer to go barefoot?
Could it be that she does this just for me? To make it easier for me to look?
No way, no way! The Empress is too good to me!
Sensing Chen Anlin's gaze, Wuxi Xue raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you looking at my feet for?"
She didn't think much of it; having played together since childhood with Chen Anlin, she didn't believe he would dare to covet any part of her.
Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare!
"Xiao Anzi, you're doing quite well! I heard you made quite an impression at the Insight Platform yesterday and grasped the technique of the unparalleled Sword God. What technique is it?"
Chen Anlin took small steps closer and said, "Your Majesty, let me show you."
When he reached her side, he slid down onto one knee on the steps beneath the dragon throne and gently lifted her left leg while releasing a faint sword intent.
"Your Majesty, this is the sword intent of that technique called the Nine-Nine Returns to One Sword Technique."
Wuxi Xue was momentarily taken aback and looked at Chen Anlin with surprise.
This kid has been much more proactive lately; he even knows to give her a massage now.
However, as his fingertips grazed her leg ever so slightly, it sent a ticklish sensation through her but also made her want more.
In summary, it felt comfortable.
"I know about this sword technique."
"You know?" Chen Anlin's eyes lit up!
"Yes, there are records of it in the ancient texts of the palace. This sword technique is a heavenly-grade one practiced by a genius swordsman from thousands of years ago who mysteriously disappeared afterward. I didn't expect his legacy to be found at that Insight Platform. However, it's said that comprehending this sword technique is very difficult; I can't believe you managed to grasp it."
Chen Anlin's eyes turned red, and a tear escaped from his eye. He buried his head in the Empress's lap, rubbing against her fair thigh as he cried, "I almost died. At that moment, I only had one thought—what was it?"
Seeing Chen Anlin in such a state, the Empress felt a surge of emotions within her. She sensed his loyalty!
"I was truly afraid I would never see you again, Your Majesty. In that moment, I clung to this thought—I must succeed, I must continue to serve you. In the end, perhaps it was my unwavering loyalty that moved the heavens and allowed me to survive! Now that I think about it, I feel a wave of fear; thank goodness for you, Your Majesty, who strengthened my resolve."
Chen Anlin's tears soaked the inner side of the Empress's thigh.
"Alright, alright, it's sticky and uncomfortable," Wu Xixue said, shaking her head, feeling somewhat awkward. She sensed something was off but had no evidence to support her feelings.
"Your Majesty," Chen Anlin lifted his head and said, "Now that I have gained some modest strength, I can help relieve your burdens. Recently, I've discovered some leads regarding the Taijiao sect and would like to borrow Sister Dou'er to go to Zhengzong together; the Taijiao might be planning to deal with Zhengzong."
"The Taijiao sect is cunning and ruthless. You have just begun to make some progress in your training; it's best to stay in the capital for now," Wu Xixue replied.
"No, no! Your Majesty, I must help you!" Chen Anlin insisted, clinging to her jade leg and acting coyly.
"It's rare for you to be so loyal," Wu Xixue nodded in satisfaction.
In today's world, everyone knew that the Taijiao sect was cold-blooded and cruel. Therefore, no one in court dared to directly offend them for fear of retaliation. However, Chen Anlin's proactive offer brought her great comfort. Regardless of whether he had the ability or not, at least he had the heart!
Thus, she indulged his playful behavior; after all, in her eyes, Chen Anlin was her best friend from childhood. She had always regarded him as a younger brother. Now that her little brother had grown up, as an older sister, she naturally wanted to encourage him rather than discourage him.
Moreover, Chen Anlin had indeed achieved some results recently. In the future, he would become a Sword God.
"Does this mean you've agreed?" Chen Anlin raised his head with joy in his heart.
"Yes, I've agreed," Wu Xixue replied.
"Yang Dou!"
"At your service." Yang Dou stepped out from the side, a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Just now, Chen Anlin's playful display did not escape her notice. When did Chen Anlin become so good at being charming? Had he finally opened up?
But to be honest, even when she asked the Empress for favors, the Empress would often ignore her. Yet with Chen Anlin, it seemed like every request was met with a response. A wave of jealousy surged within her. Why was that? Could being handsome really grant someone such privileges?
Unconsciously, Yang Dou glanced at Chen Anlin's profile, which indeed looked quite handsome. She recalled what he had said earlier about giving her a thorough treatment, and her cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassment.
"Yang Dou, from now on, you are responsible for closely protecting Chen Anlin's safety. You can freely mobilize the Eastern Depot's personnel," came the command.
With that, a badge from the Eastern Depot flew into Yang Dou's hands. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Thus, to avoid drawing attention, that day, Chen Anlin disguised himself and set off with Yang Dou and Su Menghan. As for the guards from the Eastern Depot, they followed behind, pretending to be merchants.
The three of them traveled in a carriage, and from Su Menghan, they learned that it would take about three to four days to reach Lingzong from their current location. Along the way, Chen Anlin subtly used his Heavenly Eye Pearl to observe the surroundings.
That night, he indeed spotted a peculiar little rabbit. Its tail was a striking mix of red and yellow, exuding an air of vitality. When Chen Anlin saw it, the little rabbit noticed him as well.
"What a cute bunny!" Chen Anlin exclaimed in surprise.
Before long, the aroma of roasted rabbit wafted through the air. "Why eat such a cute bunny?" Yang Dou wondered aloud.
Su Menghan couldn't wait and devoured an entire rabbit leg. Finally, she patted her slightly protruding belly with satisfaction, a look of contentment on her face.
