I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 99: Wake up and the sky falls

"No way……"

"Is the unofficial history actually true?"

"Qin Zhaojun actually likes Bai Taiyue?"

Qin Xiaochan's eyes widened in disbelief. "But in history, it was clearly her who killed Bai Taiyue."

"You're overthinking it." Bai Xuan shook his head and said, "It might not be Bai Taiyue. He didn't specify who it was."

"I can't think of anyone else. After all, empresses and powerful ministers have often been paired together in history. In most storybooks, they are mortal enemies, while in some, they are both enemies and friends." Qin Xiaochan blinked. "So it's not impossible for them to evolve into lovers now."

"An old enemy is an old enemy. An old enemy can never become a wife or a husband."

Bai Xuan held his forehead with his hand and said, "You should read less of those storybooks, lest your worldview be distorted by those poor and corrupt writers. The writers will naturally look at the issues from their own perspective, and they will put themselves in the shoes of others."

Ancient novels are all about poor scholars meeting rich daughters or beautiful female ghosts or demons... This is because most of the readers and writers of the books are these poor scholars, and ordinary farmers are illiterate.

Qin Xiaochan curled her lips and said, "Many of the people who write storybooks nowadays are talented and learned women."

"That's why I also said, 'poor' 'corrupt' intellectuals...corruption is more terrifying than intellectual youth."

"I don't understand."

"It proves that you haven't been contaminated yet. Take my advice and quit smoking as soon as possible."

After saying this, Bai Xuan planned to go back and rest.

It's a rare opportunity to see an old friend, and I feel a little complicated.

He originally thought that he couldn't dig out the bones, and instead felt uncomfortable as if his mouth was stuffed with blades, so he decided to go back to sleep.

Not just any sleep.

Instead, go back to modern times and stay for a few days.

After all, the second bone has been obtained. It is still unknown how effective this Sixth Decree will be in a world without righteous gods.

Bai Xuan planned to leave, but Qin Xiaochan didn't want him to go.

She finally got a chance to talk to him alone, and she wanted to find out more about Bai Xuan.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"I just came to see this tree. Now that I'm done, why don't you go back and spend the night here?"

"Well, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, come and enjoy it with me." Qin Xiaochan sat on a step and patted her side: "I think we get along well, we can chat."

Bai Xuan immediately became alert and said, "Miss Qin...don't try to flirt with me just because I'm pretty. I won't fall for it."

Qin Xiaochan's eyes widened, with a look of "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

She put her hands on her hips and snorted coquettishly, "I'm naturally beautiful. Even if I flirt with you, you should be grateful. Why are you reacting so suspiciously?"

Bai Xuan touched his chin and said, "I'm curious how a little palace maid like you can be so confident."

Qin Xiaochan choked. She always subconsciously forgot her own personality.

Indeed, Bai Xuan is at the top of the Sleeping Dragon List and is famous throughout the world. Those who want to marry him can easily circle Jiankang three and a half times. In comparison, a little palace maid is completely insignificant.

"I, I am good-looking!" she added reluctantly.

As he said this, his face turned slightly red with embarrassment.

Bai Xuan unexpectedly agreed: "Indeed, you are indeed beautiful."

He also sat down: "Actually, I also want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" This time it was Qin Xiaochan's turn to be suspicious. She thought to herself, why did he treat Lianxing so rudely, but act so relaxed and familiar with me? Could it be that he... likes younger ones?

In the world of true cultivation, common people get married very early, in their teens. If they are not married in their twenties, they are considered old; even for people in the martial arts world, if they are not married after twenty-five, they are considered old maids.

Of course, people like Jiang Lianxing and Ning Jianshuang are special. They can't get married, they can only find a husband, so their age is not a problem. There are many people who want to take shortcuts in life and struggle less.

Bai Xuan casually asked, "What kind of person is the Emperor of Nanchu?"

Qin Xiaochan asked cautiously, "Why are you asking this? Do you have any intentions towards His Majesty?"

"What could she be up to? I don't even know what she looks like." Bai Xuan shook his head: "I just think she must be hiding some secret."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you have absolute authority. What secrets are there to hide?" Qin Xiaochan boasted directly and without hesitation. "I don't know what you want to explore, but this idea is very dangerous. I advise you not to do it."

"That's right. I won't explore it any further. I'm leaving. Bye." Bai Xuan said straightforwardly.

"Wait!" Qin Xiaochan was so angry that she waved her hand: "Come back here!"

"Miss Qin isn't very good at chatting." Bai Xuan sat down again. "If you want to chat, you have to learn to find topics and follow the topic... I'll raise questions that interest me, and you'll raise questions that interest you, just like playing Cuju. Only with back and forth can the conversation proceed."

"I..." Qin Xiaochan was both angry and amused: "I don't know His Majesty very well. Why don't you ask someone else, His Royal Highness Prince Yun? I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"I don't have anything to ask about King Yun."

"Why?" Qin Xiaochan was puzzled. "You are interested in His Majesty, but not Prince Yun?"

"Curiosity stems from the unknown." Bai Xuan smiled. "Just like everyone in the world wants to know how I managed to reach the top of the Crouching Dragon Ranking in one go, this secret is the root of why people are itching to learn and even take risks."

Qin Xiaochan got goosebumps all over her body: "Do you really have any improper thoughts about His Majesty?"

"You think too much. I'm not interested in old women." Bai Xuan denied directly.

Click——!
Qin Xiaochan immediately hardened her fist and crushed the bricks and stones at hand: "Old, old woman?"

"I'm almost thirty and still single. If I'm not an old woman, what am I?"

"Be careful with your words!" Qin Xiaochan stood up: "Your Majesty is not old at all, he is still young and rosy!"

The volume was not controlled here, which directly attracted the palace masters who were patrolling nearby.

"What's the noise?"

"I seemed to hear a sound."

"Let's go and take a look!" Qin Xiaochan covered her mouth, realizing something was wrong, and immediately jumped onto the wall: "That's it for tonight!"

She didn't want to be caught and then be lectured by Song Diaosi and Yuru.

……

After the patrolling guards walked away, Bai Xuan came under the ginkgo tree again.

Now that no one was disturbing us, we could finally start digging.

Bai Xuan was just teasing the little girl on purpose, letting her leave on her own to make room for him to do his work.

The suicide note left by Jiang Baichuan indicated the specific location, which was in the southeast corner, also behind the tree, which was very suitable for hiding things.

Bai Xuan realized something was wrong before he even started digging.

Because there are traces of turned soil here, it is obvious that it was left here recently.

He tried digging for three minutes and became more certain that the ground here had been turned over once.

The area below was also empty.

"Are we too late?" Bai Xuan looked at the empty excavation site. "This is really troublesome. The third piece of the remains we had originally obtained is nowhere to be found... The person should be in the palace, but it's difficult to find him. If the remains are left outside, it will be difficult to collect them."

From Jiang Baichuan's death to now, it took Bai Xuan less than forty days to arrive under the tree. In the feudal era, this speed was already extremely fast. It was not really a problem with him, but it could only be said that he felt the breath of fate writing the script.

Fortunately, Bai Xuan is not an ordinary person. He has lived for too long and is less concerned about gains and losses.

When you get used to spending money to draw cards and get the guaranteed bonus, you will naturally be able to adjust the psychological gap.

The Sixth Imperial Order was used to investigate the surveillance records of the Ginkgo Tree, but to no avail.

The old thing had lived too long, and his spiritual memory had become very vague.

Since he was sure he couldn't get the item, he didn't hesitate and just started selling it.

It’s not that I didn’t come to look for it, but this broken bone has its own ideas.

……

Qin Xiaochan quietly returned to her bedroom, sat by the warm water pool, soaked her legs in the hot water, and sighed comfortably.

After taking off Qin Xiaochan's palace maid dress, she became the Queen of Southern Chu, Jiang Wanyue.

However, this 1.5-meter-tall loli image is difficult to reconcile with the traditional image of a female emperor.

Even the dragon robe seemed too big for him, and he looked like a baby dragon when he sat on the dragon throne.

Just like the eldest daughter of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, she seriously lacks dignity.

Moreover, for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, the Forbidden City was like a cage and was really unbearable.

She ran out and wandered around when no one was paying attention. It was a natural instinct and a way to release and vent stress.

Because she had obtained the throne by killing people, Jiang Wanyue did not care much about the class system itself.

In other words, she succeeded in getting to the top by breaking the system, so naturally she does not support the innate hierarchy.

The Barbarian Queen only believes that strength determines success or failure.

However, as an emperor, he had to maintain the court of Southern Chu, keep the old system, stay in the Forbidden City, maintain the majesty of the royal family, and live a life restricted by his hands and feet.

Tonight's encounter was completely unexpected.

She was actually very happy that she could talk to the other party so much in a completely new identity without having to worry about the difference in status.

This feeling allowed her to release the stress she had longed for, and she also felt the joy of talking freely with others... although it was still messed up in the end.

"Lian Xing's vision is not bad..." Jiang Wanyue kicked the hot water, and Yue Yebai's calves stirred in the water: "But, as expected, I still can't see through him."

Everyone has his own obsession. Military generals want to expand territory, and civil officials want to leave their names in history.

The emperor wants to unify the world and have supreme power; the people in the martial arts world want to become famous and be admired by everyone.

Everyone has their own demands and desires.

Jiang Wanyue is very good at seeing through a person's fundamental desires. The difficult life she had to endure in the cold palace since she was young taught her how to read people's hearts. This is why she ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, was able to sit on the throne for ten years, maintain a stable court structure, and most importantly, hold military power.

But she couldn't see this desire in Bai Xuan.

Either he is pure, with shallow desires that are limited to eating, drinking and having fun;

Either he is very ordinary, has no worldly desires at all, and is content with what he has;
Either he is very profound, and it is impossible to realize what kind of insatiable desires are hidden in the other person's heart through just a brief contact.

Jiang Wanyue, worried about her sister's feelings and curious about Bai Xuan, lay down on the dragon bed and fell asleep soon.

……

at the same time.

Bai Xuan opened the Dark Moon Realm Gate.

The soul passes through the gate and returns to its distant homeland.

He planned to rest here for a few days and study the newly unlocked functions.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside, he was about to get out of bed and open the curtains when he suddenly heard breathing sounds close by.

When I turned my head, I saw another human figure hidden in the quilt, and the other person was sleeping soundly.

Bai Xuan: “?!”

He slowly reached out and pulled back a small section of the quilt.

The beautiful face revealed in the morning light made Bai Xuan's heartbeat slow down.

"How could it be..."

Qin Xiaochan?!
