Chapter 258: It’s Time to Make the Empress Admit Her Wrong

Nie Chen entrusted Ao Lan with the rescued Jiao Dragon Clan girls, sending them back to Baiyue Pavilion, while he himself returned to Heavenly Cloud Palace, brimming with fighting spirit.

After all, the shorter the storage time for the refined Nine Yang Chaos Pill, the stronger its amplification and effects would be.

It was time to regain the face he had lost in front of the Empress!

Upon returning to Heavenly Cloud Palace, Nie Chen quickly noticed numerous cultivators from all directions departing from the palace, riding clouds back to their sects.

The vast crowd indicated that a significant number of sects had attended this time.

“What happened?”

Nie Chen landed on the ground, coincidentally encountering Elder Wang.

“I remember you left before me, why did you return so late?”

Elder Wang seemed slightly curious but quickly answered.

“It’s because the Empress just held a grand meeting and announced two things to the sects subservient to Heavenly Cloud Palace, as well as various forces in the world.”

“What two things?”

Nie Chen quickly recalled that the cultivators from various sects he had just passed all seemed solemn, as if extremely worried about something.

With so many sects present at the same time, the situation seemed quite different from what he had imagined.

Elder Wang also appeared apprehensive.

“The first thing the Empress spoke about was the Emperor Mausoleum.”

“This time, Great Emperor Feiyu and Great Emperor Yushan were able to summon corpse descents and even allow them to reach the Half-Step Tribulation Realm.”

“I’m afraid something has happened within the Emperor Mausoleum.”

“The Empress has already ordered Heavenly Cloud Palace to begin preparations for entering the Emperor Mausoleum.”

Nie Chen couldn’t help but glance at the forge burning with flames nearby.

When he first returned, he had noticed many skilled blacksmiths forging armor.

The matter of the Emperor Mausoleum, where a boundless Great Emperor was buried, was indeed enough to arouse the world’s attention.

“Then what about the second thing?”

Nie Chen asked.

“Uh… this.”

Elder Wang showed an awkward expression.

“The second thing the Empress said was… she might announce a major event today.”

Nie Chen was speechless.

So the Empress was playing a nesting doll game?

“However… major event.”

After pondering for a moment, Nie Chen couldn’t help but smile.

The Empress had kept it very secretive, so much so that the disciples and elders of Heavenly Cloud Palace couldn’t fully guess.

But he was very clear about this matter.

First, his wife had forcefully kissed him, and then he had carried the Empress back to the bedchamber.

It was estimated that many people had already seen some clues.

The Empress had no intention of hiding it; now all that was left was to fully publicize the matter.

“Don’t tell me you know something, Nie Chen?”

Noticing Nie Chen’s smile, Elder Wang hurriedly asked.

“Just wait for the Empress to announce it later.”

“Isn’t Elder Wang still wanting to learn high-end romance techniques from me? Maybe then I’ll tell you slowly.”

Nie Chen mysteriously patted Elder Wang’s shoulder and, without saying anything more, strode off in the direction of the bedchamber.

Leaving Elder Wang alone, dumbfounded and increasingly bewildered.

At this moment, in the bedchamber, Chu Qingyue, having dealt with many matters, was slightly tired.

Finally having some free time, she leaned against the window and softly sighed.

Her beautiful silhouette was outlined by her dress draped over the bedchamber.

The light blue dress accentuated her stunning figure while also conveying a sense of inviolable coldness.

Just then, she quickly saw a figure walking outside the bedchamber.

“You’re back so soon?”

Instantly, the tired expression on her stunning face vanished.

Looking at Nie Chen, Chu Qingyue wore a faint smile.

However, this faint smile carried a different feeling than usual.

“This Empress thought you wouldn’t dare to come to the bedchamber.”

“Sigh, it seems This Empress still has the upper hand.”

Covering her mouth and chuckling, Chu Qingyue wore a playful and self-satisfied expression.

It was really not easy to find the weakness of Nie Chen, the “bad guy” who had bullied her more than once. Finally finding his weakness was not easy.

“Empress, what are you going to do!”

Playing along, Nie Chen pretended to panic, as if wanting to retreat.

The usual offensive and defensive posture between the two seemed to be completely reversed at this moment.

Chu Qingyue was slightly taken aback.

It was the first time in her impression that Nie Chen had shown panic.

Unexpectedly, she had really grabbed his weakness!

As the dignified Empress Qingyue, she had been bullied by Nie Chen more than once.

But this time…

Chu Qingyue wore an alluring smile on her beautiful face that was different from her usual pure expression.

Even though it was a little shy to proactively say those words, but…

“Such a beautiful time, such a beautiful person by my side, don’t you want to do something else?”

With an alluring smile, Chu Qingyue gently swayed her skirt.

Immediately, the thin blue dress outlined a graceful curve.

Curved where it should be curved, protruding where it should protrude, the perfect lines seemed to have no flaws.

Especially her proportions, which were definitely not small…

Coupled with that stunning face, even though it carried a sense of coldness, it was so beautiful that it seemed to be able to capture one’s soul.

Nie Chen’s acting skills exploded, displaying even more panic.

He gasped:

“Wife, I just happened to be passing by to see you, just pretend I didn’t come back, I’ll leave now.”

With that, he seemed to hurriedly leave.

“Hmph, it’s not that easy to leave This Empress’s bedchamber.”

But Chu Qingyue exuded imperial authority, directly grabbing Nie Chen and, without hesitation, pressing him onto the bed.

“Have you forgotten how you bullied This Empress before?”

“Hmph, this time This Empress will bully you back fiercely.”

Under the candlelight, a blush appeared on her stunning face.

Chu Qingyue, with a faint smile, pressed Nie Chen onto the bed.

“My body is a little weak right now, spare me!”

“Impotent!”

“I’ll die!”

“At worst, This Empress will be gentler.”

“How can a woman be gentle to a man?”

“Anyway, This Empress wants you to accompany me.”

Chu Qingyue was full of confidence, fully intending not to let go of the panicked Nie Chen.

Under the candlelight, her cherry lips slowly approached.

Through the drooping collar, Nie Chen even could see the jade-like snow-white skin within.

“Good, as expected of my wife.”

“However, wife, you’re a little too proud too early.”

Just then, Nie Chen’s voice suddenly came.

“Hmm?”

Chu Qingyue was slightly taken aback.

She suddenly realized something was not right.

Nie Chen’s attitude was different from just now!

But wasn’t Nie Chen still recovering from his weakened body a few days ago?

More than tricked by Nie Chen, Chu Qingyue suddenly panicked a little.

Realizing that the situation was not right, she hurriedly tried to escape.

But it was already too late.

Her delicate wrist was grabbed by Nie Chen.

With a flip, the two of them were upside down.

“Your body hasn’t recovered yet…”

As she spoke, Chu Qingyue’s pretty face suddenly changed color.

She clearly saw Nie Chen take a golden pill.

And that pill seemed to be the legendary Eighth Rank Spirit Pill—the Nine Yang Chaos Pill!
