Transmigration, not soul transmigration.]

The Great Gan Dynasty, within the capital city!

"Who is Chu Ning!"

Inside the inn.

Figures clad in black gold armor, dragon helmets, and golden-hilted sabers instantly shattered the inn's door!

Countless guests were stunned, their faces turning pale involuntarily as they gazed upon the armor!

"It's His Majesty's Dragon Guard!!"

The person in the lead was burly, holding a draft of an imperial decree!

"By His Majesty's oral decree, the traitor Chu Ning's crimes are unforgivable and intolerable by heaven's will. You are to be brought back to the palace immediately!"

However, the soldier paused when he reached the word "brought."

If his crimes are intolerable by heaven's will, why are they "bringing" him?

But since it was His Majesty's oral decree, he would obey.

"Who is Chu Ning!"

The innkeeper sold out Chu Ning without a second word.

"O-o-o-officer! That Chu Ning is a guest at my humble establishment. He's resting on the second floor right now. I'll go call him..."

He was so scared his face turned white. The imperial court had three ranks of military: those in blue-green armor guarded the capital, those in black lock armor protected the Imperial Palace, and the highest rank, the black gold armor, belonged to the Dragon Guard, the Empress's personal troops!

Each of them possessed at least Three Realms strength, were powerful, and had killed countless people!

"That Chu Ning is just a guest at my inn. He has nothing to do with me!"

"No need, we will escort him out ourselves!"

Countless guests looked terrified as they watched the Dragon Guard, who spared no one, stride into the second floor and soon emerge carrying someone.

"What the hell! Who are you guys? I'm not even dressed yet!"

"Are the imperial soldiers allowed to just arrest people! I'm telling you, this is right under the Emperor's nose. Believe it or not, I'll go to the Imperial Palace to file a complaint tomorrow!"

"Save it. The one who sent us to 'invite' you, Chu Ning, is the current Empress!"

Chu Ning, wearing only a pair of underpants, was completely dumbfounded.

He had been unexpectedly hit by a truck and woke up in this world three months ago. He had never done anything wicked or harmful!

In a world of cultivation, what great chaos could he, a person without any cultivation, cause to make the current Empress personally send people to arrest him!

Could it be that they discovered he was a transmigrator?

But transmigrators were supposed to be honest and not do anything!

Damn feudal dynasty, damn Empress!

Chu Ning cursed loudly. He was going to die anyway, so why should he be afraid!

After being carried out of the inn, the leading Dragon Guard pointed at the carriage.

"By Imperial Decree, Chu Ning's crimes are unforgivable and intolerable by heaven's will!"

But he still said calmly, "However, since Her Majesty said 'bring to the palace,' you will ride in the carriage."

Hearing this, Chu Ning was stunned.

The treatment was quite good...

"Uh, can I ask what crime I committed? How are my actions intolerable by heaven's will?"

"I don't know."

"Then, is it appropriate to arrest me with such a grand display without even knowing the charges?"

"All under heaven is the king's land; all who live on its shores are the king's subjects. What is inappropriate about it?"

Chu Ning hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

He should just go up willingly...

Otherwise, he would suffer more.

But this dynasty was surprisingly considerate. Even though his actions were intolerable by heaven's will, he was still allowed to ride in a carriage.

Trembling, Chu Ning boarded the carriage and was taken directly into the Imperial Palace of the Great Gan Dynasty!

Within the Imperial Palace, the high walls, the forbidden grounds, were extremely prosperous.

Imperial guards in black lock armor could be seen everywhere, holding long sabers and standing ready.

After getting out of the carriage, Chu Ning followed a maid into the depths of the palace.

To be honest.

This wasn't his first time entering the Imperial Palace.

The first time was three months ago. He had transmigrated to a place and done some things he couldn't quite remember...

When he woke up, he was thrown into a woodshed and eventually taken away.

Before being masked, he managed to get a rough look and realized he was inside the Imperial Palace.

So, was he going to be executed for trespassing in the Imperial Palace?

Looking at the prosperous scenery along the way, Chu Ning tried to take in as much as possible, even though he felt he was going to die.

Until they reached a golden hall, where the maid stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, I've brought Chu Ning."

A voice, both majestic and charming, slowly came from within.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The maid turned back and glanced at Chu Ning, her eyes complex, a mix of disdain, displeasure, and perhaps a sigh.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes? It's unbecoming..."

Chu Ning was stunned.

"Holy crap, you guys dragged me out of bed and left! Did you even give me a chance?"

To say something like that now, how shameless can you be!

However, Chu Ning was also confused.

What grave crime required the Empress to personally interrogate him?

The maid sighed, "Please bear with it, Mr. Chu. Those Dragon Guards are brainless; they just follow orders. Perhaps Your Majesty didn't expect you to still be sleeping past sunrise. I'll have someone get you some clothes later..."

The maid's attitude struck Chu Ning as strange.

A criminal, and she called him Mr. Chu?

And what she said implied he wouldn't die today?

"My name is Xiao Bing, and I'm His Majesty's personal maid."

After saying that, she helped Chu Ning push open the hall doors.

Chu Ning grew even more bewildered.

What the heck? Weren't they going to kill me?

What kind of trickery was this?

With his doubts, Chu Ning, clad only in his underwear, walked into the grand hall.

With a bang, the door closed.

The palace was vast, filled with all sorts of rare and exotic treasures. A faint, subtle fragrance permeated the air. Directly opposite Chu Ning sat a woman in a golden dragon robe, her eyes fixed on him coldly.

She was incredibly beautiful, like the woman from his dreams that night, but instead of allure, she exuded a dignified majesty. Every movement conveyed an intense pressure.

Even the golden dragon robe couldn't suppress her imposing aura.

Chu Ning swallowed.

The Empress of the Great Gan Dynasty, a supreme expert of the Sixth Realm, one of the most formidable existences in the entire Great Gan Dynasty!

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, her demeanor regal.

"Chu Ning, why do you not kneel before me?"

Clearly, everything that had happened today was too sudden. Chu Ning had no idea why he was in the Imperial Palace, let alone why he was meeting the Empress face-to-face.

Thus, he was emboldened.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm about to die, so why should I kneel? Besides, my knees only bow to heaven, earth, parents, and I won't kneel to a dog emperor who arrests people for no reason!"

Chu Ning laughed heartily. "If you want to kill me, then do it. As a mortal with no cultivation, I can't do anything to you anyway. Hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinglian's expression shifted slightly, a visible hint of disappointment appearing on her face.

"Is that truly how you see me?"

Chu Ning blinked.

What did that mean? What kind of attitude was that?

However, the woman's eyes quickly turned cold.

"Do you know why I summoned you to the palace today?"

Chu Ning shook his head.

He was carried off in his sleep, what could he possibly know!

The next moment, he saw Ye Qinglian's finger pointing at her slightly bulging belly.

Chu Ning wasn't a fool; he understood at a glance!

"Your Majesty appears to be pregnant, about three months along?"

Seeing that Ye Qinglian didn't seem to intend to kill him, Chu Ning decided to try his luck. Great joy!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your imperial son! May you live for ten thousand years! Our Great Gan Dynasty will have an heir! Your Majesty..."

Halfway through his congratulations, Chu Ning suddenly froze.

This Empress... hadn't she married yet? And she didn't have an Imperial Sovereign, right?

Then this child...

Ye Qinglian let out a cold laugh.

"Congratulations to you too, the child's father."

Her words completely stunned Chu Ning.

Is she speaking Chinese? Why can't I understand? How did I become...

"Do you truly remember nothing? Three months ago, within my Imperial Palace's secret realm."

She spoke coldly, her eyes devoid of any emotion as she gazed at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning's thoughts were instantly pulled back from his confusion!

He remembered. When he first transmigrated to this world, he was in a stone chamber!

There was indeed a woman sitting in the center, seemingly cultivating. But before Chu Ning could even see what was happening, he was instantly engulfed by a red aura filling the stone chamber!

Then, he involuntarily walked towards the woman...

When he woke up, he was in the woodshed, and then he was kicked out of the palace. However, he had a considerable amount of silver on him, which allowed Chu Ning to survive in this immortal dynasty for three months!

Could it be...?

He looked at the Empress in astonishment!

"That night wasn't a dream! That woman was actually you!"

He had thought it was an illusion!

He never imagined that the woman was actually the Empress of the Great Gan Dynasty!

And that the Empress had gotten pregnant because of it!

Amidst his shock, a voice echoed in Chu Ning's mind.

[Detected biological offspring, Strongest Dad System has been bound!]

[Detected that this world is filled with countless dangers, a beginner's gift package is now being issued, rewarding the host with Immortal Emperor cultivation!]

[System cultivation is for raising and caring for the child, solely to ensure the child's healthy growth. Please strive diligently, host!]

The next second, Chu Ning instantly felt a world-shattering change filling his body. It was as if the entire world was within his perception; with just a thought, he could destroy it!

It was the system's child-rearing fund arriving!

Chu Ning let out a curse, and the Empress's face instantly flushed red!

"If not you, then who else could it be!"
