The black stockings possess the remarkable ability to keep one warm in winter and cool in summer!
Upon hearing Chen Anlin's words, Wu Xixue scoffed. "What could be so extraordinary about a mere pair of stockings?"
She shook her head, clearly unconvinced.
"Your Majesty, this item truly has the ability to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. During my recent outing, I happened upon an ancient tomb and encountered a group of tomb raiders. They thought I was a decent person and invited me to join them in seeking fortune, which led me to discover numerous treasures!" Chen Anlin explained.
In truth, these black stockings were something he had exchanged for two luck points from the Fortune Immortal Bottle. They were called Ice Silkworm Black Stockings!
The material was made from a special silk derived from ice silkworms. Such a material did not exist in this world, and wearing it indeed provided the promised effects.
Thus, Chen Anlin was confident that once the Empress tried them on, she would surely be pleased.
"Warm in winter and cool in summer?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. If you suddenly feel unwell, wearing these might bring you considerable comfort."
"It's rare for you to be so loyal and considerate of my needs," Wu Xixue nodded with satisfaction. "But how do I put this on?"
Chen Anlin hurried over and gently helped Wu Xixue into the stockings.
Finally, they were on!
As he looked at the stockings that reached just above her knees, he lifted Wu Xixue's foot and began to press gently.
"Your Majesty, doesn't it feel comfortable?"
"Indeed, it's quite nice. Do you have more? I’d like to wear them regularly."
"I do! I'll make sure to prepare more for you." Chen Anlin pressed with even more enthusiasm.
There was no helping it; the dual enjoyment of sight and touch was simply irresistible—who among his family would understand? (If they don't get it, they should try it!)
"Your Majesty, besides keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, these also have skin-whitening effects!"
Actually, there was one more thing Chen Anlin hadn’t mentioned. In addition to whitening the skin, they also had excellent tightening effects in certain areas.
"Very good," Wu Xixue smiled and nodded approvingly.
"Oh right, Your Majesty! In that ancient tomb, I also discovered this item."
He had obtained a shield jade and human skin paper during his time in the tomb.
After these days of nurturing with soul power, the Shield Jade had been refined to nearly full strength, capable of exerting sixty percent of its potential. However, the restrictions on the human skin paper were quite formidable and had yet to be unraveled.
Taking the human skin paper, Wu Xixue's keen eyes immediately discerned the restrictions inscribed upon it. Interesting!
Wu Xixue was surprised as she held the human skin paper. With a thought, a powerful surge of energy flowed from her fingertips.
Seeing this scene, Chen Anlin was taken aback, for he could keenly sense that within Wu Xixue's energy, there seemed to be an inexplicable force intertwined. Unfortunately, he did not understand what this force was.
Then he watched as this power penetrated the human skin paper, and soon enough, a line of characters appeared on its surface.
Soul Nourishing Technique!!
Wu Xixue nodded and said, "Indeed, it is this unique celestial technique in the world—the Soul Nourishing Technique. Cultivating this method can strengthen our souls! Little Anzi, you’ve stumbled upon a great fortune."
"Your Majesty, then let us cultivate this method together!"
"I have already cultivated other divine arts; to practice this one as well would require more energy than I possess."
Wu Xixue shook her head regretfully and handed the human skin paper over. "Alright, you have made a significant contribution this time. Although you may not desire a reward, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Naturally, I will not shortchange you. Now I bestow upon you a golden medal of exemption from death. With this token, no one in the entire Great Zhou will dare to lay a hand on you."
Chen Anlin paused his actions in astonishment.
Goodness! The Emperor must have lost her mind to grant him a golden medal of exemption from death. This meant that even if he encountered high-ranking officials, he could point at their noses and scold them without fear.
"Your Majesty, you are truly wonderful! I am at a loss for how to repay you."
"Are you satisfied with this reward?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am very satisfied; I don't even know how to repay you," Chen Anlin sighed.
Wu Xixue smiled faintly and said, "Little Anzi, after all, you were my childhood companion. I will certainly treat you well. Moreover, you have indeed helped me resolve some major issues, especially saving the Zong Sect! Do you know how important the Zong Sect is to me?"
Before Chen Anlin could respond, Wu Xixue continued thoughtfully: "In the Great Zhou, with internal troubles and external threats, some sects in the martial world collude with foreign tribes and resort to unscrupulous means for their own benefit! Although I possess formidable cultivation, how could I possibly handle everything myself? Moreover, I cannot manage everything alone. The Zong Sect has ties to me; they are one of my few allies in the martial world and can lend me a helping hand in critical moments."
"So do you understand how important the Zong Sect is to me?"
Chen Anlin nodded in agreement: "Little Anzi understands; that’s why I vowed to save the Zong Sect back then."
"Well then," Wu Xixue said again, "what other rewards do you desire?"
"I want..."
Chen Anlin instinctively glanced at Yang Dou.
This time, he was preparing to head to the northern frontier immediately.
Calculating the time, it wasn't long since his parents had suffered a defeat, and he needed to go help them as soon as possible. Therefore, he wanted to take Yang Dou with him.
There was no way around it; Dou'er was just too useful!
Noticing Chen Anlin's gaze, Yang Dou's face flushed red.
"Hmm??"
Wu Xixue was speechless. "What are you looking at Dou'er for?"
*Cough cough,* "Your Majesty, my parents have gone to the northern frontier, and many students from the academy are also heading there to participate in the war against the barbarians. I want to go help and train myself!"
"So you want to bring Dou'er along to protect you?" Wu Xixue shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't grant that wish; Dou'er has other tasks this time."
"I see," Chen Anlin said, feeling a bit disappointed, but quickly added, "Then I'll go by myself."
"Yes, your parents are now the overall commanders; staying by their side will keep you safe! Here, take this."
Wu Xixue took out a pill.
As soon as the pill appeared, Chen Anlin caught a whiff of a strong metallic scent.
"This is the Blood Fortifying Pill. When faced with insurmountable troubles, taking this pill can instantly double your cultivation level. However, for the next month, you may experience weakness, so only use it in dire situations!"
"I understand, Your Majesty."
Chen Anlin carefully stored the Blood Fortifying Pill away and sighed inwardly.
However, this thing is standard equipment for villains!
But if possible, I'd rather not use it.
"Your Majesty, are you bored?" Chen Anlin asked again, his hands deftly beginning to knead Wu Xixue's thigh and spreading her legs slightly for easier access while massaging.
Wu Xixue closed her eyes in comfort and replied slowly, "Of course I'm bored; in this deep palace every day is just training and more training." Her tone was quite melancholic.
"But Xiao Anzi, why do you ask this out of nowhere?"
Suddenly, Wu Xixue tightened her legs and straightened up, a flush rising on her face.
Chen Anlin didn't notice anything amiss and answered seriously: "Your Majesty, Xiao Anzi knows you're bored, so during this trip outside, I specially wrote a novel to present to you and cheer you up."
Saying this, Chen Anlin took out a book from his storage bag.
Wu Xixue took it and upon seeing the title of the book, she was instantly captivated.
"The Overbearing Heir Falls in Love with Me, the Ugly Duckling Raising a Child."
That night, my family was shattered. I was jilted and driven off a cliff by my enemies. Miraculously, I survived despite being pregnant, and in the forest, I gave birth to a lovely girl. I swore to take revenge!
On that day, the young lord encountered me, a scavenger, and fell in love at first sight.
Clearly, this is a typical romance novel aimed at female readers, filled with melodrama and satisfaction. In my past life, this genre was beloved by girls. Although the Empress held a high position and seemed detached from the mundane world, she was still a woman. Any woman reading such stories would inevitably feel a strong sense of identification. Once that identification hit, the thrill followed.
In my previous life, Chen Anlin also wrote novels and understood these dynamics well. The typical plot involves a wealthy young master suddenly struck by an epiphany and falling for an ordinary girl. These girls often have tragic backstories that capture the attention of the wealthy young masters. Then, a group of these young masters competes for the woman.
I must say, Chen Anlin has a keen grasp of women's psychology. Not only the Empress but even Yang Dou found it intriguing. After reading the first few chapters, Wu Xixue couldn't help but chuckle.
How amusing! This domineering young lord has fallen for a scavenger girl—how ridiculous! The more exaggerated it is, the more captivating it becomes. Moreover, the narrative flowed smoothly, piquing the Empress's interest immediately. She had always enjoyed reading novels and quickly devoured many chapters.
Not bad at all! But what does this phrase mean? "Women say they don't want it, yet their bodies are so honest." Wu Xixue squinted her eyes: "Something's not right with you."
