"What's your name?" Ling Yi asked curiously, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him.
The woman in front of me was very beautiful, in an unrealistic way.
It's like someone in the real world gave her a beauty filter.
This woman has been here before.
Ever since Ling Yi first came here to cultivate, this woman has appeared almost every night.
But he only peeked from the doorway, never actually getting close.
After Ling Yi cultivated the God Ling Method, his Divine Power and consciousness surged, and he was able to project his Spiritual Sense outwards.
Nature had long since Perception her presence.
At first, Ling Yi didn't pay much attention.
They assumed it was some concubine who had been banished to the cold palace, or a palace maid who worked there and came here to slack off.
Moreover, Ling Yi Ignore Rule; even if someone discovers his presence, he will Ignore.
But after several days in a row, this woman came every day, and something seemed off.
As Ling Yi's Divine Power broke through to the Second Tier, his Spiritual Sense Perception became clearer and more acute.
This woman wasn't there to slack off; she was there to secretly observe him.
Under the Perception Spiritual Sense, the woman's crouching posture and her unassuming manner were clearly "seen".
To be honest, such a beautiful woman is so sleazy, it instantly lowers the level of beauty filters by several notches.
It just feels really awkward.
"My name is Jiang Wanyi. I was just curious, so I came to check it out. Big Shot, please let me go!" Jiang Wanyi clasped her hands together and bowed to Ling Yi with a pitiful expression.
Ling Yi stroked his chin, looking at Jiang Wanyi curiously. "Big Shot, please let me go?"
That doesn't sound right, does it?
Ling Yi's heart skipped a beat. "Imperial Jade Liquor?"
Upon hearing the standard code word for the transmigrators, Jiang Wanyi's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "One hundred and eighty a cup!"
"Fellow villager?"
" World-Traversal Card?"
"What World-Traversal Card?" Jiang Wanyi asked, stunned.
"You didn't travel to this world using World-Traversal Card?"
"No, I was just reading a novel and made a couple of comments, and then, inexplicably, I was transported to this world, into the body of Consort Wan."
Not World-Traversal Card?
Original transmigrator, book transmigrator?
Could this setting mean that Jiang Wanyi is the female lead of this world?
"You time-traveled while reading a novel?"
"Yeah, isn't that outrageous?"
Ling Yi nodded. "Indeed, it's a bit outrageous!"
That being said, if Jiang Wanyi the Protagonist, then it wouldn't be so outrageous.
"What did you do before you transmigrated?" Ling Yi continued to ask.
"A senior planner at a joint venture." Jiang Wanyi proudly raised her head.
"That sounds pretty impressive." Ling Yi nodded.
In Ling Yi's mind, he couldn't help but picture Jiang Wanyi dressed in a professional women's suit, confidently presenting a PowerPoint presentation to someone in the office.
It sounds pretty exciting!
"It's a pity that I worked my way up to this position for three years, and before I could even enjoy my own office, I'm here dressed like this. If I had known it would turn out like this, why did I even bother working my way up!"
"By the way, Big Shot, what was that you just did?" Jiang Wanyi and waved it, mimicking Ling Yi's gesture.
"Is this some kind of magic?"
"Are you a cultivator, or do you have a system cheat?"
"I guess you could call them cultivators!" Ling Yi naturally wouldn't elaborate on that question.
"No wonder you can freely enter and leave the Cold Palace. Even when others see Big Shot, they Ignore Big Shot. He must be Big Shot who used some kind of cultivation method."
At this point, Jiang Wanyi's eyes lit up, and she asked cautiously, " Big Shot, um, can I cultivate immortality with you?"
Ling Yi frowned. In other words, Jiang Wanyi, the female lead, had already noticed him from the moment he first came to the Cold Palace.
Furthermore, they are able to recognize their own Ignore Rule.
Or rather, the female protagonist is surprisingly unaffected by her Ignore Rule.
That's precisely why the female protagonist became curious about him and started secretly observing him every day.
Why Jiang Wanyi unaffected by his Ignore Rule?
Is it because Jiang Wanyi is the female lead?
Or is it because Jiang Wanyi is the Protagonist?
This matter needs to be clarified.
"Big... Big Shot?" Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent for a long time, Jiang Wanyi couldn't help but ask again.
"I can teach you the technique, but whether you can learn it depends on yourself."
Ling Yi didn't care that he had already taught him.
Anyway, he can't stay in this world for too long.
This fictional ancient world is utterly worthless to Ling Yi.
Gold and silver jewelry? Antiques and calligraphy?
Ling Yi is neither short of money nor does he care about anyone collecting things; it's useless to him.
Besides these, what else is there in this world? Basically nothing.
Oh, no, it's not that there isn't any.
For Ling Yi, the most valuable thing in this world is time.
It could be said that if Ling Yi wanted, he could cause trouble in this world for three hundred years.
When Ling Yi traveled through time before, his biggest shortage of time was time.
"Thank you Big Shot life, sir." Jiang Wanyi bowed to Ling Yi with utmost sincerity.
"A life-saving grace? It can't be that serious, can it?"
Jiang Wanyi smiled bitterly, "The Consort Wan I transmigrated into was banished to the Cold Palace in the original book for the crime of plotting to harm a prince."
"Framed?" Ling Yi asked, guessing.
"Yes, I was framed, and the one who framed me was the Empress."
"The reason I'm still alive is because I know the plot. Some time ago, I risked my life to have a chance encounter with the emperor and told him about the empress's methods of framing me, as well as the evidence."
"The emperor is currently investigating the truth."
"So, what about the original plot?"
"I was given a white silk noose and hanged in the cold palace after only three days!" Jiang Wanyi said dejectedly.
Ling Yi glanced at Jiang Wanyi's Wuque face.
"You're so beautiful? How could the emperor bear to part with you?"
Jiang Wanyi said dejectedly, "It's precisely because I'm beautiful that I've attracted the jealousy of the Empress and the other concubines. When the original owner first entered the palace, the Emperor tormented her for half a month straight."
"I thought the emperor was blind!" Ling Yi said.
I knew it! Any man would be attracted to such a beautiful woman!
He's not blind, but he lacks any sense of chivalry and is a Emotionless person.
Even without the Empress's machinations, the original owner of this body probably wouldn't have survived much longer.
Why?
Jiang Wanyi gestured with her arms and said, "This emperor has the looks of an ancient Lao Ai."
"The qualities of Lao Ai?" Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment, then realized.
Looking at the gesture Jiang Wanyi made with her arms, he couldn't help but gasp.
A gifted emperor? Impressive.
"The key point is that Jiang Wanyi is a delicate and frail woman. Half a month straight, good heavens, it's a miracle she survived until she was framed by the Empress."
Ling Yi nodded.
"I am now worried that the emperor will not be able to find out the truth and will eventually be forced to hang myself, but I am also worried that if the emperor finds out the truth, he will come back and ask me to serve him in bed again."
"During this time, in order to survive, I could only insist on exercising every day, hoping to Body Strengthening and try to live a few more episodes."
"While I'm at it, I'll research something of value to give myself more leverage in surviving."
"Any results?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, the method for making ice with saltpeter has been developed, and some saltpeter has already been collected. We're just waiting to leave the Cold Palace before we start causing trouble."
"What if they don't get out of the cold palace?"
"Then, we can only wait to die!" Jiang Wanyi shrugged.
It seems that Jiang Wanyi is most likely not going to die.
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to her being the female lead.
"So, Big Shot, if you can teach me immortal techniques, isn't that practically saving my life?!"
