Chapter 103: Empress’s Unspoken Reward

Nie Chen was stunned for a moment: “Empress, what exactly is the reward you’re giving me?”

“Does it still need to be said?”

Chu Qingyue pointed to her clothes, then quickly looked away, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness.

“Pointing to clothes, and this time it’s not just a verbal reward… Could it be!?”

In an instant, Nie Chen felt his breathing become hotter, and he had to suppress the excitement in his heart:

“I understand, Empress. I’ll wait for you in your chambers.”

After saying that, he hastily walked towards the palace gate.

Ao Lan hurriedly followed: “Wait for me, don’t leave me behind!”

Nie Chen didn’t stop: “I have important business, you’re just a kid, wait outside.”

“But I heard the old dragon from the Dragon Palace say that a girl’s chambers is not a place for men to enter casually. Why did Empress let you in?”

Ao Lan was puzzled, having had little contact with humans.

However, she felt that the relationship between Nie Chen and Empress was strange.

“This…”

Nie Chen bent down, looking at Ao Lan’s shining eyes:

“The old dragon from Dragon Palace is right, but the Empress is different.”

“The Empress is different?”

“Yes.”

Nie Chen nodded, his eyes filled with emotion:

“The Empress is willing to teach me the truth about the Source of Life, even if it means sacrificing herself. She’s willing to let me enter her chambers to understand this truth.”

Ao Lan’s eyes sparkled, and her heart suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Originally, she was afraid of Chu Qingyue, but now she felt a sense of admiration and respect.

“I understand.”

Ao Lan’s eyes became determined: “I’ll learn from Empress Qingyue and become strong like her, willing to sacrifice myself. When I return to Dragon Palace, I’ll summon you there.”

“Forget it.”

Nie Chen immediately refused.

“Why? You’re going to Empress’s chambers!”

Ao Lan felt like she was being treated unfairly.

“Nonsense, you’re just a kid.”

“I’m already a few hundred years old!”

“But you’re small.”

“Who says that? I’m the Dragon King, and I can transform. I’ll show you my mature form.”

Ao Lan pouted, unhappy.

Nie Chen was surprised: “You can transform?”

“Of course, all Dragon Kings can have two forms. I just happen to have chosen a big and small form.”

“How is it? Amazing, right?”

Ao Lan proudly raised her head, a smile on her face.

“Amazing, indeed.”

Nie Chen gave a thumbs up.

No wonder they say that Dragon Kings are not to be trifled with.

However…

Nie Chen lightly tapped Ao Lan’s head:

“Keep this secret to yourself, don’t tell anyone else.”

Nie Chen made a scary face, frightening Ao Lan.

Then, he patted Ao Lan’s head and left her there, rushing towards her chambers.

Her chambers was decorated in a simple and elegant style.

Most of the colors were pure white, with only the bed curtains having a hint of transparent pink.

A faint mist floated like a celestial aura.

Moreover, even with normal breathing, Nie Chen could smell a faint fragrance.

This fragrance was not strong, but rather light and elegant, like a orchid, making people feel drunk.

Nie Chen sat on the edge of Chu Qingyue’s bed, feeling the soft and fragrant sheets, which made his heart beat slightly faster.

He remembered Chu Qingyue’s shy gesture of pointing to her clothes, and his breathing became a bit more rapid.

“Could it be that my wife has finally understood? I’ve waited for so long, and this moment is finally here!”

Just then, Nie Chen saw a corner of a paper under the pillow.

“What’s this?”

Nie Chen leaned forward and gently pulled it out.

Under the pillow were two letters, both from himself!

One was the love letter he had personally delivered to Heavenly Cloud Palace.

The other was the letter he had written before going to the Three Emperors Secret Realm, ending with the words “my dear wife.”

“Ah, I didn’t expect my wife to be this kind of person.”

Looking at the two letters, which had been carefully kept and repeatedly read, Nie Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

Who would have thought that Empress Qingyue would secretly take out the love letter from under her pillow every night and read it before sleeping?

Just as Nie Chen was admiring the two letters, he suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps approaching using his [Wind Ear] skill.

Empress Qingyue had arrived!

Nie Chen quickly put the letters back under the pillow and sat up straight.

However, the footsteps stopped outside, and a soft, melodious voice came from outside:

“I’ve changed into clothes that men like. Don’t laugh when you see me. If you do, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

This voice was like water, with a hint of intoxicating shyness.

“Clothes that men like!”

Nie Chen’s brain suddenly exploded.

He never thought that Chu Qingyue would really fulfill her reward!

And it was clothes that men like!

What could that be?

Nie Chen’s brain was racing, imagining all sorts of scenarios.

If it this, then it must be…

No!

At this moment, not wearing was better than wearing.

Could it be that it was really what he thought?

“Damn, damn!”

A stream of blood flowed from Nie Chen’s nose.

[System detected that the host has suffered internal injuries and spiritual core instability. System judged that the host has been attacked and is in a critical state. Should the system spend one skill point to activate the invincible defense system and help the host open a path to survival?]

“Forget it!”

However, this was really life-threatening!

“I… I’m coming in.”

Just then, a trembling voice came from outside.

Then, a beautiful figure slowly walked in.

When Nie Chen saw Chu Qingyue, he was stunned.
