You're not stupid, woman!
Upon hearing this, Hong Lian pouted, looking annoyed.
"How dare you deceive this princess!"
"What if I lied to you? What are you going to do about it?" Bai Yuechu put down the pig's trotter bone he had just finished eating, ignoring the grease, picked up the adorable Tushan Susu, and quickly disappeared out of the pavilion.
"You despicable thieves! This princess is not finished with you!"
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Hong Lian's high-pitched scream alerted many palace maids and guards who rushed to the scene.
"Search for a little girl and a young man in white with two tufts of hair on his head, alive!"
At this moment, Xiao Tian and Yan Lingji infiltrated the royal palace.
However, because the palace was so large, even though he had a world map in his mind and the two cursors marking allies were clearly visible, the high-speed movement and constant circling within the palace annoyed Xiao Tian.
What are Xiao Bai and Little Cutie up to?!
"What's wrong?" Yan Lingji, who was lurking in the void, grabbed Xiao Tian's hand to keep from being shaken off. As Xiao Tian stopped, she was puzzled.
"Those two kids are too noisy. They seem safe, so we'll stop looking for them."
At this moment, Xiao Tian happened to see Han Fei walking out together with Ji Wuye and Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi.
"The Ninth Young Master truly has keen insight. He thoroughly investigated the military pay case, and the fact that water-soluble gold was used to impersonate military pay is truly a miraculous and astonishing method..."
"Ninth Young Master has done a great service this time, congratulations." Ji Wuye was very displeased, his killing intent surging. He glanced at Han Fei and left.
"Ninth Prince, you must be careful," the Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi a low voice.
Han Fei smiled and nodded. At that moment, he remembered that he had sent people to the streets to arrest two suspicious people. He wondered if they had been caught. He then bowed to Zhang Kaidi and left.
"Tsk tsk, looks like I'll have to go and give Ji Wuye." Xiao Tian had no idea how much of a butterfly effect his, Bai Yuechu's, and Tushan Susu's time travel would have. If Han Fei accidentally kicked the bucket, then there would be no fun to watch afterwards.
Xiao Tian was still counting on Han Fei to help him find the World Fragment.
"Since we're already here in the palace, let's go and collect that World Fragment."
Xiao Tian took out the Nine-Colored Glazed World Fragment, grabbed Yan Lingji's small hand to prevent the beauty from getting lost, and approached the destination based on the faint light of the World Fragment.
Before long, Xiao Tian arrived at a palace.
The place was heavily guarded. Xiao Tian, relying on his Rinnegan and Tensei Jōgan Eyes which had the ability to see through things, was surprised to find that this was the residence of one of the favorite concubines of the King of Han.
"Hurry up! If we neglect Your Highness, our lives may be in danger. His Majesty specifically requested Your Highness to serve us this morning. This new dress was made with great care by Your Highness. Be careful not to damage it."
" Sister Hua, this dress is so beautiful! I can't imagine how stunningly gorgeous Her Majesty would look in it."
Xiao Tian looked around and realized that the place the two maids were heading to was precisely the area where the World Fragment were most strongly sensed.
In a flash, Xiao Tian had an idea.
" Ruyi Divine Ability - Body Immobilization Technique!"
After easily freezing the two ordinary maids who walked into the corridor, Xiao Tian knocked them unconscious without anyone noticing, transferred them into the Kamui Dimension, and then deactivated his Invisibility Technique, transforming into the pretty and charismatic Sister Hua.
"Can you transform?" Xiao Tian whispered to Yan Lingji.
"Reject."
"Okay, I'll play by myself then."
Xiao Tian created a clone, which, through the Ruyi Divine Ability - Seventy-Two Transformations, transformed into another maid, Xiaocui.
Xiao Tian picked up the wooden tray from the ground, on which was a neatly folded black gauze dress, adorned with pearls, and exuding a unique fragrance.
Xiao Tian felt that this outfit looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
Before long, we arrived at our destination.
Upon entering the room, Xiao Tian saw a woman sitting with her back to him at a round purple wooden table. Her back view was captivating, and her dark hair cascaded down to her waist like a long waterfall, with some strands tied up and secured with pearl and jade hairpins.
The room was filled with a unique, subtle fragrance that Xiao Tian had never smelled before; it was somewhat alluring and invigorating.
"Your Highness, the dress has arrived."
"Yes, help me change."
The woman stood up; her figure was tall and Linglong. As she turned, her cold yet alluring face immediately caught the eye, making her easy to remember and captivating.
"Goodness! It's just as fierce as Yaya's!"
The system's detection information has revealed the other party's identity.
Lady Mingzhu! One of the most favored concubines of the King of Han in the Han State! She is also the Blue Sea Tide Banshee, one of the Four Wicked Generals of Ji Wuye's Nightfall faction.
It was because of this Lady Mingzhu that King Han was so infatuated with her. Under the Nightfall, Ji Wuye was able to control the Han State politically and achieve his own interests.
This woman is a femme fatale; although her martial arts skills are not high, her wisdom is that of the leader of the Four Wicked Generals.
After all, the fact that a woman could become the most powerful figure in the royal harem after entering the palace and navigating the treacherous and terrifying environment of palace intrigue speaks volumes about her terrifying nature.
Xiao Tian secretly lamented that such a beautiful woman had actually been given away to that old man, the King of Han.
The time that followed was very pleasant for Xiao Tian.
Lady Mingzhu, dressed in a new gown, was stunningly beautiful and alluring, exuding irresistible charm. Paired with modern high heels, her figure was absolutely gorgeous.
"You two have quite the nerve."
Lady Mingzhu walked to the edge of the bed, her beautiful eyes cold. She drew a sword from a hidden compartment in the bed frame and pointed it at Xiao Tian and the maidservant who had been transformed by his clone.
Xiao Tian wasn't surprised that he had been exposed so quickly.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?"
"Stop pretending with me. I know A Hua and Xiaocui's behavior and mannerisms very well. Your disguises are indeed powerful, but there are too many flaws. I never let anyone else change my clothes. With A Hua and Xiaocui's years of service to me, they certainly wouldn't have forgotten that." Lady Mingzhu's expression was gentle, but she smiled coldly.
Who are you?
Yan Lingji, hiding in the shadows, wore a mocking expression. Now that she was exposed, she wondered how Xiao Tian would handle the situation.
"Tsk tsk, beauty, with no troops around you right now, do you think I should kill you, or what should I do..." Xiao Tian chuckled and dispelled his clone.
As the clone dissipated and disappeared from Lady Mingzhu's sight, Xiao Tian transformed himself using the Seventy-Two Transformations, appearing as a demon king wearing Dark Ultraman Tiga Mask and a black robe.
Lady Mingzhu felt a chill run down her spine. It wasn't some kind of disguise technique, but some kind of evil magic!
She even suspected that she was under some kind of bewitching spell.
"Your Excellency, are you willing to kill me?" Lady Mingzhu smiled charmingly at Xiao Tian. As she bent down, she gently untied the black ribbon an inch above her knee on her thigh. A sealed packet of poison powder hidden inside the ribbon quickly dispersed into the room after being pierced by the sword.
This set of movements was fluid and swift!
