After exiting the imperial palace of the Southern Tang Imperial City, Su Xiaoyue had been staring at Xu Chen, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Chen looked over, and Su Xiaoyue's eyes quickly darted away, pretending to look elsewhere.

"Xiao Yue, what are you looking at? Are there flowers on my face?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, there are flowers. I just want to ask you, do you really know His Majesty from the Southern Tang Empire?" Su Xiao Yue chuckled.

"That's not true. You know him." Xu Chen didn't hide anything from Su Xiaoyue. "It's the woman we rescued a few days ago."

"It's her!" Su Xiao Yue covered her mouth in surprise. When they had saved her, Su Xiao Yue had participated in it as well. She remembered it vividly, but she never expected that she would become the Empress!

However, Su Xiao Yue seemed to recall something. She pouted and muttered, "No wonder we have to meet alone, you adulterous couple!"

"Scoundrel?" Xu Chen didn't quite understand what Su Xiaoyue meant. He looked at her strangely.

"I mean, since she's the empress, finding an academy for me in the Southern Tang Empire wouldn't be easy." Su Xiao Yue forced a fake smile as she explained to Xu Chen.

"I'm not talking about going to the academy, it's not in the Empire of South Tang." Xu Chen reminded him.

"That's right, I almost forgot. Let's hurry up and leave!" Su Xiaoyue slapped her forehead and was reminded by Xu Chen.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you. You can only go." Xu Chen frowned and revealed a strange expression.

"Why?" Su Xiaoyue looked at Xu Chen in confusion.

After a while, however, Su Xiaoyue looked at Xu Chen in disbelief and said, "Xu Chen, could it be that you've fallen for that woman and want to stay behind for her?"

"Four hours ago, you said that you would accompany me to the Northern Dipper Academy!" Su Xiaoyue was furious. She said angrily, "You liar!"

Xu Chen looked at the self-directed Su Xiao Yue and was a little speechless. He felt that Su Xiao Yue had become a completely different person today. She had been acting weird ever since she entered the palace.

Xu Chen didn't know what to say, so he didn't argue. Just like that, as they walked, Su Xiaoyue was still whispering into Xu Chen's ear.

They walked along the street for about an hour before Su Xiao Yue finally stopped.

"Xu Chen, where are we going if we don't go to the Northern Dipper Academy?" Su Xiao Yue was not satisfied, so she asked.

"Let's find a place to stay first." Xu Chen said.

"Damn. Xu Chen, are you sure you want to stay here?" Su Xiao Yue looked at Xu Chen with her hands on her hips, a trace of anger in her eyes.

"She has given the order to keep me here. I can't even leave the city." Xu Chen said.

"Bitch, you're really despicable!" Su Xiaoyue thought about how he had risked his life to save her that day!

"No, we saved her. She doesn't thank us, and she still wants to imprison us?" Su Xiaoyue subconsciously put herself and Xu Chen together.

"Just don't let me go. You and Smoke can leave." Xu Chen explained.

Now that Xu Chen thought of the tough Empress, he had no other choice.

Even a sect or sect would find it hard to leave this place with Xu Chen's current strength, much less under the rule of an empire.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoyue's shoulders dropped. She looked like a frosted eggplant. "Then what should we do?"

Xu Chen felt a headache coming on and did not know how to respond.

If it was Xu Chen's personality, he would probably stay calm and observe the changes. However, the main point now was Su Xiao Yue.

Suddenly, Su Xiao Yue's eyes lit up as if she had thought of a good idea.

"Hehe, I have a plan!" Su Xiao Yue smiled like a crescent moon.

Without saying anything to Xu Chen, the three of them found a relatively deserted street and entered an unremarkable tavern.

In the evening, three people walked out of the tavern.

Two old men and a little boy, even though the two old men had white hair and wrinkled faces.

However, those who were familiar with them would definitely recognize them as Xu Chen and Su Xiaoyue.

As for the little boy, without a doubt, he was Xu Shengyan. His face was dressed only in disguise, and he looked a bit more handsome, just like a little boy.

"Xiao Yue, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out like this." Xu Chen didn't think that this was a good idea.

"Don't talk, let's try it out!" Su Xiao Yue stuck out her tongue and made a face at Xu Chen.

According to Su Xiao Yue's idea, they would first think of a way to get out of the capital, then another way.

After all, the Empress of the Southern Tang Empire did not allow Xu Chen to leave. This order should only be carried out in the capital. It shouldn't be the case in other cities.

However, to Su Xiao Yue's disappointment, as soon as they reached the city gates, they were stopped by the army. It was as if they were waiting for them there.

Following that, the army sent Xu Chen and his group back.

On the way, Su Xiaoyue asked listlessly, "Xu Chen, what do we do now?"

"Let's go back first." Xu Chen had always felt that Su Xiao Yue's way of dealing with the empress was childish.

When they returned to the tavern, Xu Chen and Su Xiaoyue found a woman sitting in Xu Chen's room the moment they entered.

This woman was currently reading a book. She was none other than the empress whom Xu Chen had met earlier in the day at the imperial palace.

Lin Yueting's skin was originally as smooth as jade and couldn't be found anywhere. At this moment, she was dressed in a white robe, and her beauty could topple empires and topple nations.

"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoyue ran over to her and pointed at the empress. "You still have the face to come. We saved you. Not only are you not grateful, you're even imprisoning us!"

"Oh, is that so?" Lin Yueting raised her eyebrows, "It seems that my subordinates have been negligent."

"Men, escort these two out and escort them to the array pattern teleportation portal!" Lin Yueting's tone was crisp and pleasant to listen to.

Although her voice was soft, soldiers rushed in to take Su Xiao Yue and the rest away.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going a little too far?" Xu Chen stopped the soldiers and said.

"Oh, since Darling has spoken, we naturally have to give him face." Lin Yueting smiled as he looked at Xu Chen.

She had a pair of enchanting phoenix eyes. Even if it was just a light smile, it would make others feel that she was elegantly charming.

Xu Chen could also see that this Empress was very beautiful, but what did it have to do with him?

"Take them to the next room." Seeing that Xu Chen was silent, Lin Yueting instructed her soldiers.

"Pah! Bitch, who are you calling a husband? Shameless!" Although Su Xiaoyue had been forcefully dragged away, she was loudly cursing Lin Yueting.

Lin Yueting pointed her finger, and Su Xiaoyue's curses disappeared. The entire room became quiet.

"The current you is really quite unique." The corner of Lin Yueting's mouth curved into a smile as he looked at the white-haired Xu Chen.

"What does Your Majesty want?" Xu Chen didn't care about that. For the first time, he seriously looked at the beautiful empress.

"Be my queen." Lin Yueting smiled at Xu Chen.

"Then why didn't Your Majesty give me the empire to be my queen?" Xu Chen asked.

"Alright!" Lin Yueting was still smiling as he looked at Xu Chen, teasing him, "You only love beauties, not mountains and rivers."

Hearing this, Xu Chen was speechless. He really wasn't good at making fun of others with this kind of question.

Just as Su Xiao Yue had said, he was quite bored.

Thus, Xu Chen said no more and sat on his bed, ready to cultivate.

Lin Yueting didn't say anything else. A teacup appeared out of nowhere in her hand, and she carefully savored the tea as she flipped through the books in her hand.

When Xu Chen calmed down, he started to cultivate the Dusk Sutra, not afraid that the empress would disturb him.

The next morning, when Xu Chen opened his eyes, there was no longer any trace of Lin Yueting in his room. It was unknown how long Lin Yueting had been gone for.

Xu Chen walked into the room next door and was relieved to find Su Xiao Yue and Xu Shengyan sleeping together.

This empress had no ill intentions towards them. In Xu Chen's opinion, this empress was simply too relaxed.

Xu Chen thought that if he stayed silent for a while longer, his Majesty would find them boring and would not pester them anymore.

Therefore, Xu Chen no longer thought about how to leave this place and decided to cultivate in peace.

However, the truth told Xu Chen that he was wrong.

Whenever night fell, Xu Chen would return to his room and see the empress.

Every night, Her Majesty would read a book and drink a cup of tea without saying a word.

Until the next morning it would disappear, as if it had never been here.

In the beginning, Xu Chen was not used to it, but he slowly got used to it and did not pay much attention to Lin Yueting.

During this period of time, Xu Chen did not idle around. His cultivation had been constantly increasing.

On the third night, Xu Chen advanced from the 6th level of the Body Transformation stage to the 7th level of the Body Transformation stage.

The teacup that Lin Yueting was about to speak came to a halt when she realized that Xu Chen's cultivation level was a little too low.

However, on the evening of the seventh day, Xu Chen's cultivation realm had increased another level, reaching the eighth level of the Body Transformation realm.

Lin Yueting put down the cup in her hand, feeling even more curious about Xu Chen!

On the twelfth night, Xu Chen's cultivation had advanced to the ninth level of the Body Transformation realm!

Lin Yueting found this inconceivable. She didn't seem to understand this man, who was so calm that it was fascinating.

On the twentieth night, Xu Chen entered the Spirit Gathering realm.

The cup that Lin Yueting had just taken out was crushed by Xu Chen's advancement!

She frowned. The young man in front of her seemed to not be simple!

In just 20 short days, Xu Chen had broken through from the 6th level of the Body Transformation realm to the Spirit Gathering realm.

It would be impossible if it was someone else who didn't have a few months or even half a year.

This meant that Xu Chen's talent was very high, or in other words, he had at least seven divine meridians. That was why his cultivation speed was so fast!

This caused Lin Yueting to be extremely shocked!
