Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 49 Emperor Yuan summons you; a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!

Li Yueyao smiled calmly and said, "This is even simpler. Just set up an array to block the loss of spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, Granny Silver Dragon's eyes lit up; she thought this method was feasible, and she hurriedly said:

"Miss, why don't you thank Miss Li right away?"

Wei Ling Shuang was extremely excited and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Sister Li."

"It's nothing. I can't let you shed a drop of blood for nothing."

Li Yueyao waved her hand and said with a smile, "Please come with me."

"it is good."

Wei Ling Shuang hurriedly followed Li Yue Yao, her eyes sparkling.

Granny Silver Dragon wisely refrained from following them into the room. Instead, she stood outside the door and said with a serious expression, "Miss Li, rest assured, I will guard outside and prevent anyone from disturbing you."

"Then I'll have to trouble Granny Silver Dragon."

Wei Ling Shuang said with a smile, not realizing the other meaning behind Granny Silver Dragon's words.

But Li Yueyao could tell.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Wei Ling Shuang's bloodline that makes Granny Silver Dragon find it hard to trust others.

Even now, he remained wary.

However, Li Yueyao didn't care at all. When she was adventuring in the world, she learned that her physical constitution was extremely special. She was like a frightened bird, afraid that she would be discovered.

After all, the Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body is extremely rare, appearing only once every ten thousand years. At the same time, her innate abilities are also extremely strange, making her an excellent research subject for the Demon Sect.

Upon entering the room, Li Yueyao took out a bathtub from her spatial ring, mixed some spiritual liquid with water, and poured it into the tub.

Then, under Wei Ling Shuang's dazed gaze, she gently took off her clothes and jumped into the bathtub.

What are you still standing there for?

Seeing Wei Ling Shuang standing there in a daze, Li Yueyao said calmly, "Come in quickly!"

Wei Ling Shuang then realized what was happening, and her pale face immediately turned red.

"This this……"

"Are we...were we taking a bath together?"

Wei Ling Shuang stammered.

Li Qiye had not gone far from the main hall of the palace when he was stopped by an old eunuch.

The old eunuch said with a smile, "Your Highness Qiye, His Majesty requests your presence in the Imperial Study."

"Is my father looking for me?"

Li Qiye was taken aback.

He had always been unknown, and his father had never summoned him.

Since the incident with Xiao Yun, he has stopped attending the morning court sessions and hasn't seen his father, the emperor, for a long time.

In his memory, since his mother's death, his father had become indifferent to him. It wasn't that he was cold, but when he saw him, he wasn't as enthusiastic as before.

Li Qiye knew that his father doted on his mother, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world.

As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," so naturally, they also showed great favor to this prince.

But all of that vanished with her mother's death.

Li Qiye took a deep breath, then nodded and said to the eunuch, "Eunuch Hong, please lead the way."

"Your Highness Qiye, this is my duty. You flatter me."

"Eunuch Hong said with a smile."

He then turned around and led the way.

On the way to the Imperial Study, they passed through the main hall of the palace, where the ministers and the Northern Wei delegation happened to be coming out.

But they seemed not to see Li Qiye and his companion at all, chatting and laughing as they walked past.

"This is really amazing."

Li Qiye remained calm, thinking to himself.

This Eunuch Hong usually looks quite ordinary, with a warm smile always on his face, but his strength is unexpected. It's worth noting that among those ministers just now, there was a powerful expert at the seventh level of the Enlightenment Realm, who passed by without anyone noticing.

No wonder he became the emperor's confidant!
"Eunuchs are inherently physically disabled, and their cultivation path is inherently flawed. Reaching the eighth realm, the Void Realm, is definitely not easy."

"Besides Eunuch Hong, the only other expert at this level is the old man guarding the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall, right?"

Li Qiye thought to himself.

In contrast, the old man was clearly more unfathomable; no one knew his name or which era he belonged to.

As for his cultivation level, he has probably already entered the Saint Realm!

"correct……"

Eunuch Hong, who was leading the way, suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness Qiye, that old senior asked me to give you his regards and said to go and chat with him when you have time."

"After all, that senior colleague found it quite boring after you went there that time."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye was suddenly jolted.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Hong addressed the old man as "senior."

Li Qiye immediately realized what was going on.

He absorbed all the dragon blood in the Dragon Spring Blood Pool, and the old man was still there guarding it, completely bored. How could he not be bored?

Li Qiye naturally knew that he was doing this to cover his tracks.

Li Qiye coughed lightly and said, "I've been quite busy lately. I'll go chat with that senior when I have time."

"Yes, Your Highness Qiye, I am merely a messenger."

After saying this with a smile, Eunuch Hong sighed and said, "I have heard that this old senior has a special fondness for wine. Once he even asked me to fetch some from the imperial kitchen."

"You say I have to serve His Majesty all day, how could I possibly have time!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye frowned slightly.

Was this eunuch Hong trying to curry favor with him?

Otherwise, why would they specifically tell him that the old man from the Dragon Spring Blood Pool liked to drink alcohol?

Just then, Eunuch Hong suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "Your Highness Qiye, we have arrived at the Imperial Study."

"Your Highness, please go in quickly. His Majesty must have been waiting for quite some time."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye composed himself and headed towards the Imperial Study.

Arriving at the door of the Imperial Study, Li Qiye knocked, and soon a gentle voice came from inside.

"Come in!
Li Qiye remained calm as he pushed open the door and entered, bowing slightly as he said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

Li Qiye looked over and saw that he was an extremely wise middle-aged man with bright, piercing eyes.

This is his father, Li Xuanyuan, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

“Seven Nights, there’s no one else here. It’s been a long time since we, father and son, have seen each other. Let’s just chat casually today. You don’t need to be so reserved.”

Emperor Yuan said calmly.

"Yes, Father."

When Li Qiye saw his father, his eyes were somewhat dazed.

More than ten years have passed...

When his mother passed away, his father's hair turned white overnight, and his face became increasingly weathered, a change that remains unchanged to this day.

He looked the same as he had back then, wearing a purple robe, and appeared gentle and refined, like a scholar.

Yet, his every gesture exudes an unparalleled majesty.

"Come over here quickly, take a look at how well I've written this calligraphy and painting."

Emperor Yuan said with a smile.

Li Qiye walked over and took a look. On the white Xuan paper, he saw a line of words written in a flamboyant style:

"A small leak will sink a great ship!"
