Free Web NovelChapter 466: Chapter 466: The Old Hag Wants to Seduce Me? Empress Yuehua’s Test
Empress Yuehua finished speaking and waved her hand casually.
The hazy steam from the hot spring before her condensed into a clear screen of water, hovering perfectly flat in front of Chu Sheng.
’This technique is quite interesting.’
It was obvious she wanted him to use his Mental Power to write on it and communicate.
He didn’t stand on ceremony, gathering a sliver of Mental Power and extending it forward.
The moment his Mental Power touched the water screen, he sensed something different about it. The screen looked soft, but it contained an extremely stable Power of Law within, allowing his Mental Power to write on it with incredible smoothness. The characters he formed were clear and didn’t dissipate.
He wrote a line of text directly on the water screen.
[Why do you want to know about the situation over there? What, are you thinking of going?]
Empress Yuehua looked at the words on the screen, a faint smile gracing her ageless face.
"What, you think I wouldn’t dare?"
Her voice held a natural, self-assured confidence.
Chu Sheng scoffed internally.
’I don’t know about daring, but dragging an outsider like me in here to watch you bathe? You’ve certainly got some nerve.’
Empress Yuehua ignored Chu Sheng’s slightly provocative question. She sat down gracefully on a green stone by the stream, her feet bare.
"Explain the situation over there clearly, and I wouldn’t mind giving you a little something in return."
"And if you can personally take me there, I wouldn’t mind giving you even more."
As she spoke, her eyes roamed over Chu Sheng, her tone carrying a faint, ambiguous hint of intimacy.
Her gaze sent a shiver down Chu Sheng’s spine.
’Holy shit.’
’This old lady... she’s over a hundred years old. Don’t tell me she’s been single for so long her mind has gotten a little twisted?’
’She can’t be trying to... seduce me, can she?’
A million ridiculous thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
’Trying to seduce a mosquito? Are you out of your mind?’
Chu Sheng quickly shook his head, trying to fling out all these messy thoughts.
He wrote on the water screen again:
[Telling you about the situation over there is fine.]
[But taking you there? Forget it.]
[Even if I were to go, this mosquito already has someone else in mind.]
Seeing this line, Empress Yuehua raised an eyebrow slightly, her interest apparently piqued.
"Oh? And who might that be?"
Chu Sheng thought for a moment, then slowly wrote out a few words:
[Another Empress.]
Empress Yuehua stared at the two words. She was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth.
"Another Empress, you say?"
"Heh, you’ve got quite the nerve."
...
Over the next two hours, Chu Sheng and the more-than-a-century-old Empress Yuehua engaged in a deep discussion within this idyllic, paradise-like domain.
What kind of discussion?
Don’t get the wrong idea. The content of their discussion was hardly romantic trifles.
It was about all the details of the Alien Race Base on the other side of the Space channel.
Chu Sheng described everything he had seen and heard after infiltrating the base, one by one: the Alien Race’s troop composition, their defensive arrangements, their Energy source, and even that enormous Void Toad.
And as Chu Sheng’s description grew more detailed, the expression on Empress Yuehua’s face shifted from initial leisurely ease to growing seriousness.
Through their conversation, Chu Sheng discovered...
This Empress Yuehua’s knowledge of the Alien Race was far greater than he had imagined—one could even say she was an expert!
Many things Chu Sheng had only seen but not understood, Empress Yuehua was able to explain their true nature in a single sentence.
This greatly surprised Chu Sheng. He even began to suspect that this old woman had been to the Outer Realm before.
Through this exchange, Chu Sheng also learned many secrets he hadn’t known before from her.
For example, that Void Toad was an extremely rare life form from the Outer Realm, but it shouldn’t have had any connection to the Alien Race invading Earth. It was most likely captured by force after the Alien Race invaded some other intelligent Race.
Also, the Energy Crystals used by the Alien Race weren’t ordinary Energy Crystals at all.
Their real name was [Outer Realm Source Crystal].
This was a precious resource found only in the Outer Realm, containing Energy far purer than even the highest-grade Energy Crystal Stones of the Human Race.
Unfortunately, the Energy properties of the Source Crystals were quite unique, making it difficult for Human Race experts to directly absorb or use them for Cultivation.
However, Empress Yuehua also mentioned that Great Xia’s research department had never stopped studying these Outer Realm Source Crystals.
And just recently, it seemed they had achieved a major technological breakthrough.
...
Two hours later, everything that needed to be said and asked had been discussed.
Empress Yuehua stood up and waved at Chu Sheng.
"Alright, that’s enough for today."
As her voice fell, the entire domain before them shattered like a mirror, dissolving into crystalline fragments that dissipated into the air.
Chu Sheng’s vision blurred, and the next second, he was back in the futuristic alloy corridor.
The female assistant next to him was standing there, pale and frantic, looking like she was on the verge of tears.
When she saw Chu Sheng reappear out of thin air, safe and sound, she let out a long sigh of relief, as if completely drained.
Just a moment ago, the Divine Mosquito Admiral had vanished right before her eyes. If anything had happened to him, her one head wouldn’t have been nearly enough to pay the price.
「Meanwhile, in Empress Yuehua’s room next door.」
Empress Yuehua, who had at some point changed into casual clothes, stood alone on her balcony. She gazed at the base’s distant, simulated sky, lost in thought.
After a long while, she finally whispered to herself.
"This little mosquito... is certainly interesting."
"So then, who is this other Empress he mentioned?"
With a casual wave of her hand, a virtual light screen materialized in the air before her.
She made a few operations on the screen, and soon, a detailed file popped up.
The title of the file was striking—[Personnel Information File on the Master of the Great Xia Divine Mosquito—"Gu Yuexi"].
The file contained all of Gu Yuexi’s information from childhood to the present, in exhaustive detail.
Even the precise coordinates of the cave where she was currently in seclusion were clearly marked.
Empress Yuehua scanned through all the information at a glance.
"Heh, so it’s a so-called Future Empress." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
She closed the light screen, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
"This little mosquito has earned this Empress’s approval."
"But as for you, his Master... that’s not so certain."
Empress Yuehua thought for a moment, and it seemed a fine idea came to her.
A playful smile curled at the corners of her mouth. She suddenly extended a slender finger and casually twisted a ball of light out of the air.
In her hand, the ball of light rapidly transformed into a vivid, lifelike spirit bird. The technique was somewhat reminiscent of Gu Yuexi’s method of turning leaves into birds, but it was far more profound.
Empress Yuehua leaned down and whispered a few words into the spirit bird’s ear.
Then, she opened her hand.
The spirit bird immediately flapped its wings and took flight. In a flash, it passed through the base’s Energy barrier and disappeared into the distance.
