Chapter: Assisting the Empress in Her Training, Is This Possible?
Boom!
A wave of heat surged from Wu Xixue, sending Chen Anlin flying to the door.
"I see your courage has grown bolder; how dare you show such disrespect to me!"
Wu Xixue narrowed her eyes, wishing she could slap Chen Anlin to death.
"Your Majesty, Little An is innocent!"
"Even now, you dare to argue!"
"Little An was treating you!"
"What kind of treatment involves such reckless behavior?" Wu Xixue's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger, making her look quite adorable.
She distinctly remembered how Little An's hands were large and somewhat rough; that sensation was indeed peculiar, sending tingles through her body.
"Your Majesty, at that moment, your life was in danger. Little An was anxious and had no choice but to open your meridians this way. If you truly wish to blame someone, then punish Little An. Whether it's death or dismemberment, he will not complain."
Seeing this, the murderous intent within Wu Xixue dissipated.
Could it be that I truly misunderstood Little An?
As this thought crossed her mind, Wu Xixue's resentment towards Chen Anlin lessened significantly.
She sighed softly; perhaps she had indeed wronged him. After all, he was trying to save her.
However, she still couldn't let him off easily; after all, those were her two precious treasures. Hmph! He must be punished.
Moreover, she felt that in the future, she should dress more appropriately in front of Chen Anlin.
After all, Little An was no longer the child he used to be; he had grown quite a bit. It was only natural that he might struggle to maintain his composure in front of such a beautiful woman like herself.
Although Wu Xixue had lived in the palace for a long time, she was well aware of her own charm.
In the past, seeing Chen Anlin as honest and loyal allowed her to let him massage her legs without concern for her appearance; often her clothing would be disheveled and revealing.
Now that she thought about it, this might have been a privilege for Little An.
Unknowingly, she had become a living Bodhisattva.
"Your Majesty, you—"
At that moment, Yang Dou rushed in and noticed Chen Anlin kneeling on the ground with a puzzled expression.
"Dou'er, where have you been?"
Wu Xixue was somewhat annoyed. If it weren't for Yang Dou abandoning her post, how could her precious treasure have been bullied?
"Your Majesty, I just went to fetch some hot water. What happened?" Yang Dou asked curiously.
Wu Xixue was about to say something, but the words caught in her throat. She couldn't possibly say that her precious treasure had been bullied, could she? So she shot a fierce glare at Chen Anlin and said, "Xiao Anzi, you spoke out of turn just now. You deserve a slap."
Chen Anlin thought to himself, "So this is how we're playing it?" Feeling helpless, he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Xiao Anzi will take his punishment right away. However, before that, I have some good news to report. Additionally, Xiao Anzi has discovered something he wishes to present to Your Majesty."
"Go on," Wu Xixue said, not pursuing the previous issue any further.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Barbarians have been repelled. This is their peace treaty," Chen Anlin said as he produced a document.
"I am already aware of this. What else do you have to say?" Wu Xixue asked as she adjusted her skirt.
"It’s this." Chen Anlin took out a jade vial.
"What is this? What does it have to do with me?" Wu Xixue inquired.
"It can assist Your Majesty in your cultivation."
"Hmm? Assist my cultivation?"
"Yes, Xiao Anzi wishes to help Your Majesty with your training."
Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent. Yang Dou looked at Chen Anlin in surprise.
"You seem off," Wu Xixue narrowed her eyes.
She felt that something was strange about Chen Anlin's words but had no evidence to back it up. However, the moment Chen Anlin presented the jade vial, Wu Xixue's expression changed slightly upon seeing it!
The rich energy emanating from it was palpable.
Wu Xixue stood up abruptly; in her excitement, she didn't even notice that her robes had come undone. She never expected that Chen Anlin would acquire such a potent source of energy.
It was clearly a legacy left behind by a powerful individual. The energy within was fire attribute-based, perfectly suited for her. She had previously encountered some setbacks in her cultivation, which had caused her progress to stagnate. If she could absorb this energy, it would undoubtedly propel her forward significantly.
"How many are there?" Wu Xixue asked with burning eyes.
"There are nine bottles left!" Chen Anlin replied, taking out the remaining jade bottles.
"Hurry, give them to me!" Wu Xixue said anxiously, her voice trembling slightly.
"Understood," Chen Anlin said, lowering his head, his lips twitching. "Your Majesty, speaking like that can easily lead to misunderstandings."
In a few quick steps, Chen Anlin presented the jade bottles.
"Here are the items," he said.
Wu Xixue smiled. Looking at the Empress's smile, Chen Anlin was momentarily stunned; she was truly beautiful.
"Ahem, you’re quite impressive," Wu Xixue quickly regained her cold demeanor and asked, "This is a legacy left by a first-grade powerhouse. How did you obtain it?"
Chen Anlin recounted how he had tracked down the fleeing Xiao Chen and ended up accidentally entering the ancient tomb, leaving nothing out.
"I didn't expect you to have such good fortune and even know to present this to me. Little Anzi, you're quite impressive," Wu Xixue said, her previous grievances forgotten as she looked at Chen Anlin with satisfaction.
After all, a legacy from a first-grade powerhouse was invaluable; no one would casually offer such a thing to another.
"Now tell me, what reward do you want?" Wu Xixue decided to generously reward Chen Anlin.
"I already have the sword bestowed by Your Majesty; I just need a protective item," he replied. He actually had a shield jade already, but it required nurturing once its energy was depleted. Therefore, having more would only be beneficial.
"Someone, go fetch the Fire-Repelling Robe," she commanded.
Chen Anlin was taken aback upon hearing this. The Fire-Repelling Robe was a low-grade heavenly treasure within the palace. Wearing it made one impervious to blades and immune to fire and water.
