Chapter 48: Third Princess and Empress’s Turbulent Scene (Part 1)

Nie Chen thought back and realized that he hadn’t seen Empress Qingyue for a long time.

Although it had only been about ten days since they parted ways, Nie Chen felt like it had been an eternity.

After all, his wife was just too adorable.

If people knew her true personality, how could anyone not like her?

He now wanted to hurry to the Heavenly Cloud Palace.

After all, their second date was still waiting for him.

When Shu Xiangdie finished tidying up her disheveled clothes, although her face was still slightly flushed, she had basically recovered.

Nie Chen then bid her farewell, saying:

“I’m going to the Heavenly Cloud Palace now, Miss Xiangdie, please be careful on the road and don’t fall into the wrong people’s trap again.”

“Are you leaving so soon?”

Shu Xiangdie, who had been cold towards Nie Chen, now seemed to have a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

“Yes.”

Nie Chen nodded, not expecting this girl’s attitude to change so much.

She was clearly cold and distant before, but now she seemed to be a bit sentimental.

Nie Chen walked away, and after a long distance, he turned around and bowed to Shu Xiangdie one last time.

Then, he didn’t look back and left directly.

“System, exchange for a ‘Wind Ride’ spell.”

The ‘Wind Ride’ spell wasn’t rare, and it only required 1 skill point to purchase in the System’s store.

[ Ding, the System has deducted 4 skill points, are you sure you want to purchase? ]

“Buy.”

Nie Chen didn’t hesitate and confirmed the purchase.

He easily learned the ‘Wind Ride’ spell.

Suddenly, Nie Chen felt like he was connected to the air and wind around him, and he could easily infuse his thoughts into it.

He slowly controlled the air flow around him, and Nie Chen gradually floated into the air.

Before long, the mountains and rivers below him became smaller and smaller.

As he rode the wind over human cities, the people and buildings below looked like ants.

The gentle breeze blew, bringing a refreshing feeling that made him feel extremely comfortable.

Perhaps this was one of the greatest joys of being a cultivator.

Nie Chen felt very comfortable.

To get to the Heavenly Cloud Palace, Nie Chen had to pass by the Youming Sect.

However, as he approached the Youming Sect’s nearby mountains, Nie Chen discovered that the area was shrouded in dark clouds.

Especially around the Youming Sect, there was a strong killing intent emanating from it!

“What’s going on? Before I left, wasn’t the Youming Sect always hiding deeply?”

Nie Chen furrowed his brow.

…

“Calm spiritual core, calm spiritual core, men are all obstacles on the path of cultivation, absolutely cannot be trusted.”

In the forest, Shu Xiangdie tried her best to calm her mind and soothe her chaotic inner self.

However, this time, she found that no matter what, she couldn’t calm down.

She used to think that Nie Chen was completely incomprehensible.

This man had single-handedly defeated the countless geniuses of the Imperial Court and won the tournament.

He had even crossed boundaries and killed the Shadow Demon King, causing the Nine-Turn Lightning Tribulation to descend.

However, along the way, she discovered that she couldn’t understand Nie Chen even more.

She thought that Nie Chen wasn’t interested in women and was completely uninterested in her.

But now, the facts proved that this wasn’t the case.

“Could it be that I’m a special existence to him?”

Shu Xiangdie’s heart was racing, and she couldn’t control her thoughts.

She knew that if she continued like this, she would likely sink deeper.

Shu Xiangdie quickly tried to find the “Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions” book but discovered that it was no longer with her.

There was only one way to save herself!

Empress Qingyue!

As long as she told Empress Qingyue about her thoughts, with the Empress’s great power, she would surely be able to find a solution.

Shu Xiangdie’s inner self was urgent, and she suppressed her chaotic thoughts, turning around and heading towards the Heavenly Cloud Palace at an extremely fast speed.

Along the way, those strange and uncontrollable thoughts continued to disturb Shu Xiangdie.

As she passed by a familiar immortal sect, Shu Xiangdie hurried up the mountain, intending to borrow a cloud dragon horse.

When she heard that it was the Third Princess who had come personally, Li Changlao, who had held an important position in the Imperial Court and was now an elder in the immortal sect, immediately came out to greet her.

“Your Highness, why do you need to borrow a cloud dragon horse?”

In Li Changlao’s impression, the Third Princess had always been proud and aloof, rarely interacting with people.

She was also resolute and determined, never showing too much panic no matter what situation she was in.

However, now, Shu Xiangdie’s face was flushed, and she had a hint of anxiety in her eyes, which surprised Li Changlao.

Shu Xiangdie coldly replied:

“I’m going to the Heavenly Cloud Palace to see Empress Qingyue.”

“Empress Qingyue…”

Li Changlao only then remembered that Shu Xiangdie had always regarded Empress Qingyue as her lifelong goal.

Li Changlao asked again:

“Does Your Highness need me to escort you?”

“No need.”

“Then please be careful on the road, and pay attention to your safety.”

Li Changlao didn’t dare to say more and quickly led the cloud dragon horse over.

He believed that with Empress Qingyue’s power, she should be able to easily help the Third Princess resolve her inner turmoil.

The cloud dragon horse’s speed was comparable to that of ordinary cultivators riding the wind, and in less than half a day, Shu Xiangdie arrived at the Heavenly Cloud Palace.

Facing the Great Elder in front of the palace, she bowed and said:

“I am Shu Xiangdie, the Third Princess of the Imperial Court.

Since I was young, I have admired Empress Qingyue and regarded her as my goal.

However, today, my inner demons have erupted, and I can no longer control them.

I implore you to let me see Empress Qingyue, hoping that she can resolve my inner turmoil.”

Generally speaking, even if one’s cultivation identity was high, it was difficult to qualify to see Empress Qingyue.

However, Shu Xiangdie’s sincerity and admiration moved the Great Elder.

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment before finally sighing:

“Alright, I will report this to Empress Qingyue.

However, whether Empress Qingyue agrees to see you, I dare not guarantee.”

“Thank you, senior.”

Shu Xiangdie bowed.

“By the way.”

The Great Elder suddenly asked:

“What exactly is the inner demon that you want to ask Empress Qingyue about?”

“Love.”

“?”

The Great Elder was taken aback.

Shu Xiangdie lightly pursed her lips, finding it increasingly difficult to speak:

“What I want to ask Empress Qingyue about is related to love.”

“Ah, I see.

Don’t worry too much, after all, emotions are a natural part of being human.

Please wait for a moment, I will go report to Empress Qingyue.”

The Great Elder lightly coughed twice and quickly turned around to enter the Heavenly Cloud Palace.

Although he said this, he didn’t think so in his heart.

After all, Empress Qingyue had written the “Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions” long ago and should absolutely not be interested in matters related to love.
