She's actually a Princess?
Su Chen chuckled softly, and with his other hand, he grasped Li Qingyue's other side as if swimming a dragon.
Another gasp rang out, and Li Qingyue's breathing became rapid.
Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "What you said is all correct. I will help you seize the Imperial Throne, but in return, you must give me something in return."
The meaning behind his words was so clear that even Li Qingyue understood it.
"Your words are meaningless..."
Su Chen preemptively declared, "I Great Dao oath to help you seize the Imperial Throne."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint aura of the Great Dao enveloped him.
Su Chen had already disguised his aura multiple times, so he was not afraid of direct contact with the Great Dao at all.
The Great Dao oath!
Oh My God!
Li Qingyue hadn't expected Su Chen to be so decisive. The Great Dao oath was the most terrifying oath; once made, it had to be fulfilled, or the Great Dao would obliterate them.
In the entire Cloud Firmament Realm, there was once a record of Immortal Venerable being killed for violating his Great Dao oath.
Su Chen's direct oath to the Heavenly Dao Oath immediately left Li Qingyue somewhat at a loss, unsure whether she should resist Su Chen's excessive actions.
"You've made Great Dao oath, isn't it time to give me my share of the rewards?"
Li Qingyue was startled, but she still lowered her head and pretended to be at the mercy of the other party.
The next day, Li Qingyue emerged disheveled. Just as she was about to leave, she turned to Su Chen, her face showing some grievance, and said, "Don't forget what you said."
Watching her departing figure, Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head. How could this girl be so easily fooled?
Of course, it can't be called deception, it's just that this girl is too trusting.
The struggle for the Imperial Throne in the Nine Stars Empire is not actually serious and there is no danger to life. After all, the Empress is there to suppress it, so how could she allow the empire to descend into chaos?
Therefore, most of the struggles for the Imperial Throne were conducted through legitimate means, such as Empress setting up Arena Platform, or other honorable methods, so that their lives were not in danger.
Perhaps her easy trust in him stems partly from her belief in the Dual Cultivation Great Dao?
Su Chen's eyes were calm as he suddenly spoke, "Has President Li seen enough?"
After he finished speaking, all was calm.
But after a moment, a figure walked out of the door, looking somewhat embarrassed. In fact, she definitely hadn't seen anything at all; Su Chen had shielded the room, so she couldn't see through it at all.
But judging from Li Qingyue's behavior just now, she must have found out something.
Li Ruoxin couldn't help but feel a little worried. She had only given Li Qingyue a suggestion, but she hadn't expected the girl to give Su Chen her highest price so quickly.
Once a man gets something, he won't cherish it.
I don't know if what I did hurt her.
Li Ruoxin bowed slightly to Su Chen, then said calmly, "Young Master, Qingyue is still innocent and naive; please do not deceive her."
She knew that Su Chen had an extraordinary background, and that he himself was extremely powerful.
Even if Su Chen is incredibly powerful, she won't allow anyone to harm Li Qingyue.
Su Chen said calmly, "I will never go back on my word."
Li Ruoxin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then turned and left.
Once the room was completely empty, Su Chen lay on the mat and couldn't help but shake his head. He had indeed been living a somewhat dissolute life lately.
Back when she was still in the Immortal Realm, although she wasn't averse to matters between men and women, she had strict requirements for choosing a partner; at the very least, she wouldn't easily have anything happen with a woman.
But now he feels completely indifferent.
Is it the influence of the Dual Cultivation Great Dao?
Absolutely!
Su Chen shifted the blame to the Dual Cultivation Great Dao.
However, experiencing the world is really quite nice. Seeing different people and experiencing different things is much better than staying in Wangyun Mountain all the time.
Su Chen continued to spend his days leisurely strolling around the Imperial City.
Three days Past, Li Qingyue came to visit again.
"Um... could you come with me for a moment?"
When Li Qingyue looked at Su Chen, her eyes were full of evasiveness, and she didn't dare to look directly at Su Chen.
She didn't know why, but Su Chen's image kept appearing in her mind these past two days, and she couldn't forget him no matter what. In the end, she couldn't resist her own heart and decided to come and find Su Chen.
Su Chen followed, a smile on his face, "What's wrong?"
Li Qingyue hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.
"You say."
Su Chen said somewhat helplessly, "You're mine now, so just ask if you need any help."
"No!!"
Li Qingyue immediately stepped forward and covered Su Chen's mouth. She looked around to make sure no one had heard before she breathed a sigh of relief. However, because she was in a bit of a panic, she almost fell into Su Chen's arms.
Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly took two steps back. "Could you please not talk about this again, at least... not in public?"
Women care about their image, and Su Chen nodded understandingly.
Li Qingyue sighed helplessly, "His Majesty is holding an Auction in Three Days for the jurisdiction over the Three Western Commanderies. Once we have jurisdiction, it will be of great help in the struggle for the Imperial Throne."
"I heard from my aunt that you are incredibly wealthy, so... I would like to ask you to help me buy the jurisdiction over the Three Great Commanderies."
Her last words seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
For Li Qingyue, asking Su Chen for help seemed like something she couldn't bring herself to say, something extremely difficult to broach.
Su Chen smiled and shook his head. Li Qingyue thought Su Chen was unwilling to help, so she quickly said, "You said you would help me seize the Imperial Throne."
Su Chen took two steps forward, gently pulled her into his arms, and then said softly:
"What I mean is, there's no need for such formalities. I'll simply give you jurisdiction over the Three Great Commanderies."
"However, I have a question that puzzles me: why are you so determined to fight for the Imperial Throne?"
In Su Chen's opinion, Li Qingyue really didn't have the ability to Imperial Throne; she was quite naive when it came to scheming.
Li Qingyue was held in Su Chen's arms, feeling incredibly shy. She wanted to push him away, but found that she simply couldn't.
She sighed helplessly, realizing she had fallen for him.
Then, her expression hardened. "I want to be like my mother, Empress revered by all!"
Is it really that simple?
Su Chen raised an eyebrow. He could see the clarity in Li Qingyue's eyes, and it seemed there really was no other reason.
Li Qingyue simply admired the Empress and wanted to become like Empress.
Su Chen nodded, then encouraged him, "Okay, I believe you can do it."
Hearing the encouraging words, Li Qingyue was incredulous.
She has said many times over the years that she wants to become Empress, but everyone who hears her scoffs at her, believing that she could never replicate the Empress's achievements.
In terms of talent alone, she is far inferior to the Empress.
