With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

The stars shone like diamonds in the deep night sky.

Inside Wangzhou City, the streets were deserted. Zhao Yao strolled among them, pondering the events of the past.

He was certain that he had lost part of his memory.

There was also a lingering fragrance on the tip of my nose, which was clearly the scent of a lingering, unremarkable erotic dream, and a rather high-end one at that!

He still has two more on him; they were given to him by the Mad Protector when he was at the foot of the desolate rock mountain.

And there are also dragon-shaped earrings...

These were ornaments that only members of the royal family and relatives of the emperor could obtain, symbolizing a desire to climb the social ladder and attach oneself to the powerful.

— Zhao Yaoshi's wife, the wife of County Magistrate Zhou Yan, is of royal blood, which is why Zhou Yan wears this ornament.

"The teacher and his wife, one is the one who chooses people and the other is the one who is chosen... If that's the case, then the difference in their behavior today is not surprising."

So what am I doing? I ended up wearing this thing out of nowhere.

Even if a princess is choosing a fake husband, she has to do it openly and honestly.

My experience seems strange no matter how you look at it.

We need to figure these things out quickly!

He made up his mind, quickly found an inn on the street, and stepped inside.

He walked up to the inn's counter and said directly:

"Hey shopkeeper, give me a room and bring a big basin of water, quick!"

"Alright, please come with me..."

The innkeeper greeted Zhao Yao with a smile, gestured for him to enter, and led him into a guest room.

……

In the county government's library, in the room where a minor official was sleeping, Zhao Yaosu woke up on the bed.

He lit an oil lamp, held it in his palm, and walked alone into the library.

He had visited this place countless times during his studies at the county school and knew every area here very well.

Therefore, it didn't take him long to find the rumors he was looking for.

Zhao Yao squatted down and pulled out a stack of books recording rumors, gently blowing away the dust.

"Phew~"

The royal family's suppression of talent from the common people is a heinous crime!

Princess Wonderful

These are all rumors and stories about royal daughters choosing real or fake husbands from among the common people, princesses seizing opportunities or ordinary people using the status of a prince consort to rise to power.

The county magistrate teacher once said that Princess Yunchi came to choose a fake husband.

That has nothing to do with love and desire, but is for borrowing or seizing fortune, to graft the fortune of those with great fortune, so as to ensure the eternal prosperity of the royal family... at least that's what the royal family publicly declared.

Zhao Yao recalled the general outline of the matter in his mind, and carrying the books, he quickly returned to his residence.

He put the stack of books away, went out to fetch a basin of water, brought it into the room, closed the door, took down the water jug ​​he carried with him that was half-filled with ascension water, and poured the ascension water into the basin.

"Splash!"

After the water was poured out, within a few breaths, the water in the basin changed, becoming as clear as an abyss.

He turned around, picked up the books, went to the basin, tiptoed, and jumped forward lightly.

puff~

He plummeted straight down into the bottomless basin of water.

In the aquatic void, he sank down, following the light below, until he reached it. After a moment's thought, he plunged into it, falling into the desolate lower realm.

Not long after, he returned from the desolate cliffs and appeared in this watery void.

In Zhao Yao's experiment, the connection between the two bodies was not interrupted despite being separated by two realms.

This was something that greatly excited him!

The ranking of the Broken Jade Chess is higher than I imagined!

During the short time he spent in the lower realm of the desolate rocks, he could clearly sense the difference in the flow of time between the two realms by comparing his two bodies.

Time flows much faster in the Desolate Rock Lower Realm than in the Demon-Slaying Great Realm.

Using his original form in the lower realm as a reference, Zhao Yao felt that every move of his body in the upper realm was like being in super slow motion.

In the watery void, at the bright entrance to the desolate rocky lower realm, Zhao Yao quickly controlled his thoughts, no longer recalling his previous experience, suppressing his curiosity about the mysteries of time, and waited there for a while.

Meanwhile, in the inn.

He manipulated Zhao Yi's body and, in the same manner, used the other half of the pot of ascending water to create another basin of ascending water. He then jumped into the basin and sank into the light.

Bathed in this light, Zhao Yao manipulated his two bodies, searching for each other, but he could not find his other body.

In his perception, at this moment, the two bodies were both extremely close and extremely far apart, so close that their positions sometimes overlapped, and so far that they were separated by infinite worlds.

hum~

In that instant, it was as if the profound mysteries of the Great Dao were poured into my brain.

Zhao Yao shook his head, shaking off his curiosity about the mysteries of space, and simultaneously controlled both of his bodies, heading towards the light at the entrance to the desolate rock lower realm, and decisively plunged in.

……

In the desolate lower realm, in an uninhabited area near the Shanyang tribe, Zhao Yao and his companion stood together.

While remotely absorbing the accumulated divine power of faith from the Shanyang tribe, he used this power to quickly read the book of rumors floating in the air before him.

Before long, he finished reading and gained a detailed understanding of the matter of "the princess choosing a husband".

Leaving aside the rumors of the princess choosing a real husband, this can be described as a collection of numerous female-led tales of seduction and male fantasies.

The main issue is the princess choosing a fake husband.

The book analyzes this very clearly. As everyone knows, the princess chose a fake husband in order to take advantage of the large number of royal offspring and borrow fortune from those with great luck in the common people, hoping to accumulate little by little and graft good fortune onto the nation's destiny.

There are many ways to borrow or seize luck.

Several of the stories happened to be the same as Zhao Yao's experience today, which helped him understand what exactly had happened.

"Miraculous Technique: Void Calming" is the ability that the palace maid used by attaching her hand to the power of the magical artifact "Void Chariot" to suppress herself.

"Miraculous Technique: Dragon's Might Suppresses the Gods" is an ability derived from the royal dragon bloodline, and it is also the culprit behind his loss of related memories.

"Miraculous Technique: Dream Seed" is the ability of the princess to pull herself into a dream, establish a connection with herself, and take the first step in seizing destiny.

"Miraculous Technique: Seizing Fortune and Strengthening Life" is the princess's main reliance for seizing fortune.

If that's all there is to it, then most of those whose luck is ultimately taken away are simply having their great fortune borrowed, returning to the luck of an ordinary person, leading a mediocre life, but certainly a life of wealth and honor.

For most people, this is a great thing.

This is the situation where a princess chooses a fake husband. The chosen person is given the title of "fake husband" and the wealth and honor that a princess's husband should enjoy are exchanged for the fortune of the person with great luck. Only the fortune is taken, and no one is harmed.

But Zhao Yao's condition was clearly not right!

He was 100% certain that what he smelled was the exotic fragrance of the "Spring Dream Without a Trace" elixir, and that the feeling lingering on his body after waking up at the tea stall was the sensation of ejaculation.

Why are there these two anomalies when it's not like we're choosing a real prince consort?

Could it be that the teacher has made a mistake, and Princess Yunchi is choosing a true husband?

Choosing a true husband is like a princess hunting for lovers; could it be that she's encountered a princess with sexual perversions? She doesn't like her husband being awake during sex...

Zhao Yao was amused by his own thoughts.

He composed himself, lowered his eyes, and continued to ponder.

Yes, the teacher clearly stated that Princess Yunchi came to choose a "fake husband," so there shouldn't be any mistake.

The real husband isn't him, and the fake husband has "two legs"... Unless, the princess has other motives!
