After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Li Musheng gazed at the imperial princess shrouded in a bronze aura within the coffin beneath him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said:
“Girl, it’s not polite of you to ignore me when I’m talking to you.”

As he spoke, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed at the imperial princess in the bronze coffin from a distance. In an instant, the bronze aura surrounding the imperial princess vanished completely.

The naked body of the imperial princess floated up from the coffin, and then this flawless body slowly flew towards Li Musheng.

Li Musheng stood atop the bronze coffin, his gaze fixed straight ahead on the imperial princess who was drawing ever closer.

Just as the other person was less than a foot away from him, Li Musheng flicked his hand and was about to pull her into his arms when the previously motionless princess suddenly opened her eyes.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed drastically, and the distance between Li Musheng and the other party, which was originally only a foot, was suddenly stretched to an endless distance.

Seeing this, Li Musheng showed no surprise whatsoever. He simply took a step forward, and the distance that the Empress had created was once again closed.

Then, Li Musheng embraced the imperial princess in his arms with one hand.

Her skin was fair and delicate, soft to the touch. Li Musheng took a deep breath, feigning exaggeration, and smelled a faint fragrance from the princess's hair in his arms. At the same time, he exclaimed in admiration:
"Girl, you smell so good."

Upon hearing this, the Empress, who had been as cold as ice, instantly broke down, her eyes fixed on Li Musheng with a murderous aura even stronger than the one Li Musheng had seen on the Killing Saint of the Hidden Killing Pavilion.

However, the princess, held in Li Musheng's arms, quickly regained her composure. Although she couldn't move, she could speak, saying calmly:
“I was born a thousand years ago, and I’m the same age as your ancestors. Do you really think you’d be interested in me?”

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng immediately frowned.

Although a cool, soft touch came from the naked empress's body, the fleeting, romantic thoughts that had finally arisen in his mind vanished instantly.

However, Li Musheng did not show it on his face. Instead, his palm slowly slid down the smooth, white back of the imperial princess. When it reached her slender waist, he suddenly hugged her tightly, bringing the perfect body in front of him closer to himself.

"Young lady, although I do not like older women, you are so beautiful that you could be an exception."

Li Musheng lowered his head and deliberately made a series of rhythmic, bubbly sounds in the princess's pink ear. At this moment, the princess in Li Musheng's arms clearly broke down again, to the point that even the eyelashes under her dark eyebrows trembled slightly.

What do you want?

The princess suddenly spoke up and asked. Upon hearing this, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly and replied in his usual bubbly voice:
"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

As he spoke, Li Musheng loosened his grip on the princess slightly, straightening her body, and said:
"However, young lady, you've misunderstood something. It's not about what I want, but what you can give me?"

The princess stared intently at Li Musheng, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
“I have seen countless geniuses, and you are stronger than them all, but the White Emperor Tower has its own rules. With my authority, I can only take one item from the most important items at most.”

"I do not believe."

Li Musheng shook his head repeatedly, then, holding the princess, glanced around the bronze hall before him, before looking at her exquisite face and suggesting:

"How about this, you tell me where all the good stuff in the White Emperor Tower is hidden, and I'll go get it myself."

Upon hearing this, the princess remained silent.

As their eyes met, a vortex of mist, like a nebula, appeared in the Empress's eyes. At that moment, everything around seemed to be drawn to her.

"Let me go." The Empress's voice was cold and clear as she commanded. However, Li Musheng's eyes remained unmoved, like a bottomless abyss. He said:
"Don't let it go."

Then, Li Musheng hugged the princess tighter with one hand, and with the other hand, he used his index finger to lift her chin, saying:

"Don't waste your time, you're too weak, none of these tricks will work on me."

"Besides, my patience is limited. If there's a next time..."

Li Musheng spoke slowly and deliberately. The next moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bronze coffin lid in the corner of the hall, which had been blown away, crack silently and instantly crushed into a pile of verdigris by an invisible and terrifying force.

The princess could naturally witness this scene, but she simply stared quietly at Li Musheng, the swirling mist in her eyes slowly dissipating, and said:
"No one has ever called me weak before; you are the first in a thousand years."

"This makes me a little curious. With your talent and strength, where would you rank among the world's top martial artists today?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng clearly became interested. Instead of urging the princess to hand over the treasures of the White Emperor Tower, he beckoned to the large black cat that had been hiding in the shadows of the bronze hall.

Upon seeing this, the big black cat immediately dashed to the bronze coffin.

"I won't listen to your boasting. Let it tell you where I rank among the world's top experts."

Li Musheng pointed at the big black cat, and the big black cat, observing Li Musheng's expression, naturally understood what he meant.

It immediately stretched out its paws and started gesturing wildly. The princess, being so intelligent, naturally understood what the big black cat meant at a glance.

"Number one in the world?"

The princess's cold voice rang out, her eyes, like a frozen pool, revealing no emotion.

Then, without raising any questions or continuing to question Li Musheng, she glanced at the big black cat out of the corner of her eye and suddenly said meaningfully:
"Your cat is very interesting; someone might be interested in it."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng frowned, while the big black cat, for some reason, suddenly shivered involuntarily.

Just then, as if sensing something, Li Musheng slowly turned his head to look outside the bronze hall.

Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the cold, dark bronze hall.

A figure emerged from the darkness and slowly walked across the threshold of the main hall. In an instant, the clear sound of footsteps echoed in the silent bronze hall.

Upon hearing the sound, the big black cat turned its head sharply and saw a middle-aged man, about eight feet tall and dressed in casual clothes, in its bright green eyes.

The middle-aged man had his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. His handsome face showed few signs of age. He was walking slowly toward it and Li Musheng with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing this, the big black cat instinctively took a few steps back, then darted away and quietly hid behind the bronze coffin.

Although the middle-aged man before it appeared gentle and showed no hostility, the big black cat wasn't stupid. Anyone appearing in this place at this time was definitely not a good person, so it naturally wanted to stay as far away as possible. (End of Chapter)
