What the Heck, Big Shot, Take Me In!

Consort Li looked at Qianlong's face, which was filled with terror and panic, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He comforted her, saying, "My dear consort, there's no need to worry. Those are just old relics from thousands of years ago. How could their armies compare to Great Qing under my rule!"

As he spoke, Qianlong's face showed a look of utmost confidence, and he added, "The sons of Great Qing who set out this time will surely return victorious, ensuring those old relics will never return!"

At this point, Qianlong's face also showed a smug smile. He had already begun to fantasize about himself punching Zhu Yuanzhang and kicking Li Shimin, with Ying Zheng and Liu Che kneeling at his feet singing songs of submission.

It was just like when Consort Li was first favored by him, desperately begging for mercy.

Consort Li looked at Qianlong's daydreaming state and his overly confident remarks, feeling utterly speechless. Her eyes were practically rolling to the heavens.

This idiot truly had no self-awareness. He had been flattered to such an extent. He had no idea what Great Qing was really like, yet he naively believed it was a celestial empire, omnipotent and invincible.

And it was all thanks to that He Shen, who had been shamelessly flattering Qianlong. Even the officials in court were much the same, almost all of them fawning over Qianlong. This was why Qianlong had no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth.

Watching Qianlong lost in his fantasies, Consort Li knew very well that this man was unreliable. When disaster strikes, everyone flies for themselves.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to figure out a way to save herself. Fortunately, she currently possessed a face that could topple cities and a charm ability.

Perhaps she could rely on these assets and board the chat group.

She wondered if killing Qianlong would grant her entry into the chat group.

As Consort Li pondered these thoughts, her gaze towards Qianlong held a hint of malice. However, she dared not make any actual moves for the time being.

She couldn't defeat Qianlong, and she didn't know when the people from the chat group would come to kill. It was best not to reveal herself yet.

Deep within the Imperial City's prison, a remarkably dark and foul-smelling cell was hidden.

In the center of this cramped cell lay a person. Their limbs were twisted and bent in strange ways, with bone spurs even piercing through their flesh and skin, as if they had been forcibly broken by brute strength.

Their face had been slashed so badly that it was unrecognizable. It had even begun to rot, looking utterly horrific.

The person lay motionless on the filthy ground like a corpse that had been dead for a long time. If not for the faint, wheezing breaths that still escaped intermittently, the guards would have likely dragged her away as a corpse.

Even so, how long could she survive in such a state of lingering existence?

After all, the places where her limbs were broken had already become festering wounds, with maggots even wriggling in the injuries. Furthermore, after she was thrown into the prison, the guards had only brought a little food at first. Later, they found she couldn't eat anything, so they stopped bringing food.

It was already unimaginable that she could still be alive after such a long period without food.

At least in the eyes of the guards, this person was no longer human. Some guards had even mistaken her for a corpse demon from ghost stories.

So, the guards generally stopped coming to this cell, assuming the person was already dead.

The woman lay on the ground, her eyes seemingly vacant, but her inner thoughts were quite active. She was watching anime through the System.

She knew her useless System couldn't save her, and she wanted to die but couldn't because the System had a function to prevent the host from committing suicide.

So, she could only have the System block her senses and activate a holographic projection in her mind, covering her retinas and hearing. She fully embraced the anime-watching mode.

Liu Bing suddenly appeared in the cell. As soon as he arrived, he was immediately hit by a pungent odor of decaying flesh and filth, causing him to frown slightly.

The next moment, the unpleasant smell quickly vanished.

Immediately after, his gaze slowly shifted to the woman on the ground, and the corners of his mouth curved into an amused smile...

After a long while, the woman on the ground remained unresponsive like a corpse, showing no sign that someone else had entered the cell.

Liu Bing felt it was necessary to alert her, so he cleared his throat.

After another long while, the woman still showed no reaction. Liu Bing blinked and scanned her with his divine sense, only then realizing that she was using the System in her mind to watch anime.

This woman was treating the System like a brain-computer interface.

Liu Bing rarely scanned others with his divine sense, as it was equivalent to seeing them completely inside and out. Scanning women was a bit offensive and wrong.

Scanning men, cough cough, it was an eyesore, not as good as scanning women.

With no other choice, Liu Bing had to penetrate the System's blockade and transmit his voice into the woman's mind: "Tragic maiden, do you wish for revenge?"

The woman's body stiffened. She yelled in her heart, "Holy crap, System, didn't you block my senses and hearing? Where is this voice coming from?"

[Host, the System does not hear any sound.]

The woman was bewildered. There was clearly a voice just now. Was she hallucinating?

After a while, seeing the woman still unresponsive, Liu Bing shrugged. "Give me some kind of response."

The woman's body trembled. She was certain she had heard a voice, and it was definitely not a hallucination this time. She had the System turn off the projection and focused her gaze on Liu Bing. She opened her mouth, allowing Liu Bing to see the empty space within. Her tongue had been cut out; how could she possibly respond?

At this moment, after seeing Liu Bing's appearance, the woman's eyes widened. She let out excited, muffled cries.

What did she see! Someone dressed in modern casual wear, with a side-parted hairstyle. This hairstyle, this attire, they were definitely a fellow countryman.

To her now, Liu Bing was like a savior. If she could speak, she would have definitely said, "Yutu, save me!"

"Ah, as long as there's a response," Liu Bing said, nodding with relief as he saw the woman's actions. He continued, "As you can see, I'm like you. I want you to do something for me. Are you willing?"

The woman nodded without hesitation. Her limbs were broken, and she had been thrown into this lightless, dark prison. If not for the useless System keeping her alive, she would have died long ago.

Now that a countryman had come to help, she would have to be out of her mind to refuse.

"Well, let me be clear first. I can save you, but you cannot appear in front of people for two months."

The woman nodded, indicating her agreement.

Liu Bing took out a Heavenly Immortal Pill and flicked his finger, sending the pill directly into the woman's mouth.

As the pill entered her mouth, the woman only felt something like clear water flowing down her throat into her stomach. Then, she felt her body begin to repair itself automatically.

She didn't even have time to feel the tingling sensation of healing before her body had already recovered. She could even feel a terrifying power surging within her.

At this moment, her System chimed.

[Ding, Host has consumed a Heavenly Immortal Pill from a certain world, gaining power comparable to a Heavenly Immortal from that world.]

The woman's eyes widened instantly. She looked at Liu Bing in disbelief. "Whoa, big shot, take me under your wing!"
