My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Dong'er was already very self-deprecating, especially in front of Nangong Bingqing.

The reason for this is that one is a noble daughter of the Nangong family, and the other is just a dancer who will have to use her beauty to serve men in the future.

In particular, this young lady's appearance is a rare beauty. Although I am somewhat famous in the Nangong family, I can't compare to Nangong Bingqing at all.

Actually, this was just Dong'er's psychological factor. In terms of appearance alone, Dong'er couldn't compare to Nangong Bingqing, but she was still undoubtedly a beauty, even in the Xia Emperor's harem, she was among the top few.

It's not that Dong'er isn't pretty, it's just that Nangong Bingqing is even more stunning.

Dong'er was blinded by her own limited perspective. Deep down, she felt that with her lowly status, she was not worthy of a peerless hero like the Emperor, and even felt that she, being so filthy (it was all in her head), did not deserve to be by the Emperor's side.

Afterwards, Emperor Xia arranged for Nangong Bingqing to go to the "Moon Fairy Palace," which was an exceptionally luxurious palace.

Dong'er still remembers how naive and clueless she was when she first entered the Moon Fairy Palace.

Inside the bedchamber, the beams were made of sandalwood, the lamps of crystal and jade, the curtains of pearls, and the pillars of gilded metal. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed was draped with a silk canopy, embroidered with pearl- and silver-threaded begonia flowers; when the wind stirred, the canopy swayed, creating an illusion of floating on clouds and in a dreamlike sea. On the bed were jade pillows, soft silk mats, folded jade-belted silk quilts, and smooth brocade blankets spun with gold and silver threads.

A huge, bright moon-shaped pearl hangs from the top of the palace roof, shining brightly like the moon itself.

Other items displayed in the hall included a satin box with gold-threaded sea beast and grape patterns, a white-dotted red-flowered cup, a peony and green-leaf incense burner, a blue-and-white glass vase, a double-necked enamel vase with children at play, a jade comb with flower and bird patterns, a glass screen lantern, a mother-of-pearl inlaid bronze mirror, a gold bowl with mandarin duck and lotus petal patterns, a white jade stemmed cup, a gold-threaded peony handkerchief, a rosewood wardrobe with twenty-four closely spaced carved panels, and pear wood window lattices…

Dong'er couldn't recognize these things at all, but even a layman like Dong'er could tell at a glance: high-end, very high-end, extremely high-end!

Upon entering the Moon Fairy Palace, Dong'er truly felt as if she had entered the abode of a celestial being. Looking at her young mistress in the palace, regardless of her own wishes, she had to admit that only Nangong Bingqing, the most beautiful woman in the world, was worthy of this Moon Fairy Palace.

As a woman and a dancer, Dong'er had lived among the dancers of the Nangong family since childhood, so she was naturally very mature about sexual desire. Of course, she could see the Xia Emperor's feelings for Nangong Bingqing.

However, a question lingered in Dong'er's little mind.

That is: even if Nangong Bingqing truly deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, what gives her the confidence to directly and coldly confront the Emperor?

Even when meeting the Emperor, Nangong Bingqing not only refused to kneel, but also completely disregarded the Emperor throughout the entire process, displaying a cold and indifferent attitude.

The emperor did not blame him and remained amiable throughout.

This is completely different from what Dong'er read in the book about "the emperor's majesty being inviolable".

Although Dong'er hadn't read many books or seen much of the world, she was still a child.

However, she also knew that the whole world belonged to the emperor. Although Nangong Bingqing was the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family, what was a mere daughter of an official in front of the emperor of a country?

This was a question that Dong'er never understood until her death.

Actually, this is because there exists something in this world called "qi" (pronounced with a fourth tone).

"Qi" exists in all things under heaven. Ancient books record: What is called primordial Qi? It is primordial Qi... Primordial Qi is one of the three treasures and the foundation of alchemy. Primordial Qi is often obscured by acquired Qi. Only when acquired breathing enters true stillness can primordial Qi emerge and take charge. This is the return of acquired Qi to primordial Qi.

Based on records in ancient books passed down from antiquity, people invented a method to extract "qi" from the air and then use it for their own purposes. This is something familiar: "internal energy".

Those who master internal energy are called martial artists.

Martial artists are few in number; most ordinary people may only hear their names but never actually see them in their entire lives.

A dancer like Dong'er, who stayed in the Nangong Mansion year-round, naturally wouldn't know about the existence of martial artists.

Of course, the martial artists in this world are far from being able to burn mountains and boil seas or shift stars with a single thought, as depicted in fantasy novels.

However, martial artists who master Qi do possess superhuman strength. For high-level martial artists, it is not difficult to fight against a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand.

In this world, martial artists are conventionally divided into: third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, grandmaster, and the legendary innate!

Even those who are not martial artists at all, but have reached the three levels of external martial arts (Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin), are terrifying beings who can kill a bull with their bare hands.

Even the lowest-level, third-rate martial artists who have just begun to grasp a little internal energy can shatter large rocks with a single palm strike!

As for the innate masters, it is rumored that they have cultivated the flawless true body, compressing their internal energy to the extreme and transforming it into true qi. The true qi flows automatically as if it were a world of its own, and can spontaneously resonate with the outside world. They can mobilize the qi of a region for their own use, exerting power that ordinary people cannot imagine, and can prolong their lives and maintain their peak state for a hundred years.

The innate masters have reached a point where they cannot be resisted by sheer numbers, and can enter and exit thousands of troops as if they were nothing.

Legend has it that Xia Yuyu, the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, was a master martial artist. During a war against a northern tribal alliance, he was surrounded, but he single-handedly dismounted and killed 2 enemy cavalrymen, striking fear into their hearts. By the time reinforcements arrived, the alliance had already lost its will to fight and was completely annihilated. This is said to be the decisive battle that laid the foundation for the Xia Dynasty's vast territory.

A master of innate talent is extremely rare, appearing only once every hundred years. There are only two openly known masters in the world today, but what they are like behind the scenes is unknown.

However, few people in this world know this.

Above the innate realm, there is another realm called the realm before attainment!

It is also called the Celestial Realm!

A master of the Celestial Realm is almost extinct in this world; it takes a thousand years for one to appear.

Even among martial artists, very few know about it.

No one knows how powerful a Celestial Realm expert is, because once a Celestial Realm expert is born, there will basically be no more Celestial Realm experts. Therefore, for a Celestial Realm expert, there is no opponent in this world worthy of his full strength.

Nangong Bingqing's master, the Old Man of Tianshan—the Heavenly Daoist, is the only remaining master of the Heavenly Realm in the world, and he has lived for 200 years.

However, Tiandaozi was indifferent to worldly affairs and lived in seclusion on Mount Tian, ​​detached from worldly matters.

Nangong Bingqing's purpose in descending the mountain was to enter the world in order to obtain an opportunity to break through her innate abilities.

She has been stuck at the Grandmaster level for two years, which is too long.

Although Nangong Bingqing felt that her progress was slow, in fact, the grandmasters in this world were all in their sixties or seventies, and a 15-year-old grandmaster was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Of course, the Heavenly Daoist could help her forcibly break through to the Innate Realm, but the consequence would be that she would be forever cut off from the Heavenly Realm.

This was naturally something Nangong Bingqing could not accept.

As a girl who grew up in the mountains.

Nangong Bingqing's indifference stemmed from the fact that no one communicated with her.

Second.

The Tianshan Mountains are a true paradise on earth.

Therefore, she was protected even better than a young woman confined to her chambers.

You should know that even in the secluded chambers of a woman's home, there is deceit and treachery.

But in the Tianshan Mountains, there is only beauty and hardship.

Therefore, Nangong Bingqing possesses only purity and curiosity about the mundane world.

This was also the reason she went to the palace; she was simply curious and wanted to see the palace.

Chapter 175 Strategy Guide

Emperor Xia was the emperor of a country.

Of course he knew about Nangong Bingqing's master, Tiandaozi.

When Nangong Bingqing descended the mountain, her whereabouts were known to Emperor Xia.

When the Xia Emperor saw Nangong Bingqing's portrait, he was astonished by her beauty, considering her to be a celestial being.

He simply wanted to sleep with Nangong Bingqing and add this rare beauty to his harem.

He conceived the idea of ​​taking this unparalleled beauty into his harem, but since the highest martial arts power Xia Chao could control was only at the Innate level, he naturally dared not force himself on Nangong Bingqing.

What should you do if you want to sleep with a woman but can't force her?

Of course I lied to her!

So, don't be fooled by Xia Wuwei's gentle, dignified, confident, and mysterious demeanor in front of Nangong Bingqing; it's all just a facade.

Xia Wuwei was actually just a foolish emperor who only knew how to play with women and indulge in a life of debauchery.

Not knowing how to win over Nangong Bingqing, he sought help from Li Fuguo, the powerful eunuch of Xia Chao, a favorite minister of his.

Li Fuguo was sold into the palace at the age of six and was castrated to become a eunuch. He has served two previous emperors and Xia Wuwei trusts him very much.

Although Li Fuguo was impotent, he had lived in the palace for decades, and having seen and experienced much, he had come to understand things clearly.

In the imperial harem, a place where women were never short of attention, he had witnessed countless schemes and intrigues among women vying for favor, which led him to develop an unparalleled understanding of women.

He said to the Xia Emperor:

【His Majesty.

Miss Nangong is, after all, a disciple of a Celestial Realm expert; her standards must be exceptionally high. Simply showing favor won't win over such a proud woman.

However, Miss Nangong is, after all, just a 15-year-old girl experiencing her first love. If Your Majesty can do the following four things, I, your humble servant, guarantee with my life that within three months to half a year, Miss Nangong will love Your Majesty to the point of obsession and devotion.

One:

Women love beauty.

Despite the woman's frequent claims that she was willing to repay the hero's life-saving grace by offering herself to him, she remained silent.

However, all of this is based on the premise that the so-called hero is handsome and talented. If the hero is a rough and uncouth man from the fields, then the woman would not be willing to give herself to him.

This is especially true for young girls like Nangong who are just beginning to experience love.

Your Majesty's dignified appearance already signifies half the success.

However, although Your Majesty has an extraordinary appearance, which is an advantage, it still needs a little embellishment.

Although Your Majesty cannot compare with Miss Nangong in martial arts, as the saying goes: if you lack martial skills, you can make up for it with literary talent.

Your Majesty, from a young age, has been well-versed in literature and poetry, and is usually adept at strategizing and ruling this vast Xia Dynasty. Your literary talent is certainly not lacking. What Your Majesty lacks is demonstrating your wisdom and resourcefulness. Therefore, from now on, Your Majesty may have to work a little harder, displaying elegance, humility, refinement, and mystery before Miss Nangong. Make sure Miss Nangong is filled with favor and curiosity from the very first moment she sees Your Majesty.

Although Xia Wuwei was a fool, as an emperor, regardless of what his father looked like, his mother must have been a beauty.

Therefore, he was certainly not bad-looking, and after listening to Li Fuguo's words, he gladly accepted.

Li Fuguo continued:

Secondly.

The woman was greedy for money.

The Heavenly Daoist himself lived a long life and had a broad perspective, so he was able to return to his true nature, showing no concern for the mundane world and having no interest in wealth and fame.

However, the Heavenly Dao Man did not understand human nature. He believed that since he could live a simple life in the remote Tianshan Mountains, he also believed that Miss Nangong, a woman, could endure such a life.

Perhaps it can be tolerated until Miss Nangong comes down the mountain.

But after seeing all the wonders of the world, wouldn't Miss Nangong have some thoughts in her heart?

An old saying goes: It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

The Tianshan Mountains are bitterly cold, so Nangong's daily life must have been austere.

Therefore, Your Majesty should provide her with material luxury. Once Miss Nangong has become accustomed to this kind of life, even if she wants to leave Your Majesty, her body will prevent her from doing so, because she has unknowingly become accustomed to this luxurious life and can never go back.
