Female Emperor Reincarnation?!

The sun was gradually setting.

In the mountain forest, Mo Shang gripped the other man's shoulders with both hands and shook him wildly.

"Where exactly is that place you mentioned?! We've practically searched every cave in the entire mountain range!"

"I only remember it being inside some cave. In my past life, someone else accepted this mission..."

At this moment, Gu Qingzhou was rather helpless as well. He only knew that someone had found it here in his past life; he truly had no idea of the exact location.

"I never should've believed your nonsense..." Mo Shang was left speechless upon hearing this.

"We're already here. Let's search over there some more. If we still can't find it, then forget it..."

Gu Qingzhou awkwardly scratched his head and started walking forward. But before he had taken more than a few steps, the earth beneath his feet suddenly caved in, and he fell straight down with it.

Seeing this, Mo Shang hurried over and shouted into the deep pit, "Are you alright?"

His voice echoed through the hole. Before long, Gu Qingzhou's voice came back from below. "I'm fine. Old Mo, get down here quickly. I think we found it..."

"Did the Fortune Halo kick in?"

Mo Shang could not help but freeze at those words. They had searched for ages without finding anything, yet he found it by turning around and falling into a pit. That was downright absurd!

With that thought, Mo Shang did not hesitate and immediately jumped into the pit as well.

After experiencing a bout of free fall, Mo Shang safely reached the bottom of the pit and entered a massive natural stone chamber.

"Hm? What dense spiritual energy."

The moment he entered the stone chamber, Mo Shang sensed that something was unusual. Dense spiritual energy filled the entire space, so thick it nearly condensed into liquid.

Not only that, an extraordinary fragrance permeated the chamber. Just one breath of it left one feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

"That's the scent. The treasure should be nearby..." As Mo Shang surveyed his surroundings, Gu Qingzhou rubbed his hands together, excitement flashing across his face.

"What exactly is this treasure you're talking about?"

Mo Shang asked curiously. The other man had only said he was bringing him to find a treasure, but had never said what it was.

"Earth Spirit Liquid. What do you think? Good stuff, right?" Gu Qingzhou chuckled.

"Wow, it's actually Earth Spirit Liquid! Never heard of it. What's it for?"

"If you've never heard of it, then what are you 'wowing' for?!"

"You can tell it's good stuff just from the name. Can't I be a little excited?"

"..."

"So, which path should we take?"

Mo Shang looked toward Gu Qingzhou and spoke again. Although they knew the Earth Spirit Liquid was here, the two of them had hit a snag.

There were numerous passageways in the stone chamber, and they had no idea which one was the right path.

"Forget it, let's just pick one."

Gu Qingzhou looked at the passages leading in every direction and irritably scratched his head. In the end, he simply chose one at random.

Mo Shang said nothing and stepped forward to follow him.

Perhaps Gu Qingzhou's Fortune Halo had begun to work. This time, the two of them did not spend much time wandering through the underground tunnels before entering a stone chamber even larger than the previous one.

At the center of the chamber hung a gigantic hundred-meter-long stalactite. Beneath it stood a circular stone platform.

There was a depression on the stone platform, spiritual mist curling above it. Within the depression was a small pool of pale yellow liquid.

"Finally found it. That wasn't easy..."

Gu Qingzhou took a deep breath. Looking at the pale yellow liquid, he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"This is the Earth Spirit Liquid? It really is good stuff." Looking at that small pool of pale yellow liquid, Mo Shang was excited as well.

Although he did not know its exact effects, merely from the density of spiritual energy it emitted, he could tell that it was no ordinary item.

"Hehe, I told you it was good stuff..." Gu Qingzhou chuckled and walked toward the stone platform, preparing to collect the Earth Spirit Liquid.

However, at that moment, a black-clad figure silently appeared from a passageway at the other end of the stone chamber.

Gu Qingzhou was the first to notice and immediately raised his head to look at the figure.

The moment he saw the black-clad figure, Gu Qingzhou's carefree expression vanished without a trace, replaced by seriousness.

Neither spoke. They merely watched each other in silence, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive.

Seeing the suddenly appearing black-clad person, Mo Shang activated the system's trait inspection function and checked the traits on her body.

As the traits on her body lit up, a purple-gold radiance appeared, nearly blinding him.

[Purple-Gold Fortune Trait: Female Emperor Reincarnation]

[Description: A soul from ancient times—can she once again ascend to the peak in this era?]

[Purple Gold Entry: Stunning Talent]

[Description: Genius is merely the threshold to meet her!]

[Purple Trait: Ice Beauty]

[Description: A peerlessly beautiful face, though she looks a little cold...]

[Blue Trait: Clear Grudges and Gratitude]

[Description: She repays every kindness, but those who offend her will meet no good end...]

Gasp, a Female Emperor Reincarnation?! I thought being Reborn was absurd enough, but there's actually someone even more outrageous!

Looking at the two Purple Gold Entries on her body, Mo Shang sucked in a cold breath inwardly.

Is this even letting people play?

Gu Qingzhou being Reborn had already been absurd enough, and now there was a reincarnated Female Emperor as well. The cheats were getting more brutal one after another!

Just as Mo Shang was inspecting her traits, Gu Qingzhou slowly spoke, breaking the silence first.

"This friend, the treasure here already has an owner."

The black-clad person showed no reaction to Gu Qingzhou's words and did not even glance at him.

Instead, she fixed her gaze on Mo Shang—or rather, on the stone platform beside him...

"If that is the case, then allow me to witness Your Excellency's methods."

Gu Qingzhou mistook this for her preparing to attack Mo Shang. He immediately stepped forward, his aura revealing itself.

As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Mo Shang hurriedly stepped forward and said,

"Let's talk things out. Why resort to fighting and killing?"

"This friend, how about this? Those who see it get a share. How about the three of us split the Earth Spirit Liquid equally?"

Mo Shang did not want Gu Qingzhou to fight her. After all, she had two Purple Gold Entries above her head. Even if Gu Qingzhou was Reborn, he might not be able to defeat her.

"Brother Mo, why waste words on her? Two against one—the advantage is ours!" Gu Qingzhou was somewhat displeased by Mo Shang's words.

After saying that, Gu Qingzhou had no intention of speaking further. With a wave of his hand, a golden longsword fell into his grasp, and he immediately slashed it toward the black-clad person!

"Annihilation Sword Art, Return to Nothing!"

The next instant, the longsword swung. A golden Sword Qi shot across the chamber, carrying an aura of annihilation as it slashed toward the black-clad person.
