Chapter 383: I’ll Wait For You



Xu Que really had not expected the Empress Dowager to be so generous. For only one Ice Jade Pill, she would give the Seventh Princess away just like that.

At that time, Xu Que was wondering if the Seventh Princess was really the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager chose to ignore Xu Que’s question, ’can you be given to me’. Although her cold aura of killing intent betrayed her feelings, she still pretended that she had not heard anything and continued to negotiate with Xu Que.

"Young Hero Xu, I believe that the Seventh Princess does like you. If you can bring back the Ice Jade Pill, I will arrange a marriage between the both of you. Furthermore, I’ve collected many rare herbs and medicines as well as magical weapons. Some of them are very suitable for tiding over the heavenly trials, as well as Six-Star Spiritual Pills that can help you cross over to the Infant Transformation Stage!"

The Empress Dowager smiled. "Of course, with Young Hero Xu’s strength," she continued, offering all kinds of favorable terms that she could think of. "Even without the help of the spiritual pills, reaching the stage of Infant Transformation is simply a matter of time. But if you become the Prince Consort of the Metal Nation, you might be able to become the heir to the royal throne as well!"

From the Seventh Princess, to magical weapons and spiritual pills, and now, she had even given a subtle hint that she could assist Xu Que to become the future Metal Emperor, if he wanted to.

All these terms were based on a single condition, the Ice Jade Pill. It simply meant that the Empress Dowager attached great importance to it. It was as if that rare pill was more important to her than anything.

Xu Que was someone who could talk very well. When the Empress Dowager had ignored his question, he had also pretended that nothing had happened, sitting at his seat and wearing a faint smile, staying silent.

However that faint smile of his was no different from a cheapskate’s smile in the Empress Dowager’s eyes. In the end, she asked solemnly as her patience ran out, "so, what are your thoughts, Young Hero Xu?"

Xu Que gave a chuckle; his gaze fell on the scenery outside. "Aiya, we have had such a happy chat but it’s getting late now. I still need to rush over to the teleportation device. Goodbye!"

He got up abruptly and strode out the door.

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment as she had not expected Xu Que to leave just like that.

She immediately gave a shout when she realised that Xu Que had really walked out without any hesitation. "Wait!"

"Don’t bother!" answered Xu Que without turning his head, and he continued to walk.

He had never even considered agreeing to the deal. Although obtaining the Ice Jade Pill was not something difficult to do, the thought of bringing the rare pill back was troublesome.

Moreover, he did not like this Empress Dowager at all. Somehow, he could feel an air of aggressiveness and sense of superiority coming from the Empress Dowager. That made him very uncomfortable.

However, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, the Empress Dowager spoke again.

"I can agree to your condition."

"Ah?"

Xu Que was frozen on the spot.

Although the Empress Dowager’s voice was rather subdued when she said that, Xu Que could hear the implication very clearly and he was stunned.

Agree to my condition?

What condition did I state?

F*ck, could she be referring to that ’can you be given to me’ matter? This... this is too much for me!

"You... you’re serious?" asked Xu Que who could not believe his ears and had turned around to face the Empress Dowager.

She stared hard at Xu Que and was gritting her teeth. Her lips even quivered a little. "I mean what I say," said the Empress Dowager coldly. "If you bring me the Ice Jade Pill, I can agree to the condition you stated earlier!"

Xu Que was at a loss. He did not know what to say.

Don’t, I was just fooling around earlier for some fun. Why did you take it so seriously?

It’s not fun now!

Xu Que felt funny but at the same time annoyed inside his heart.

He was also puzzled by the fact that the Empress Dowager seemed bent on getting the Ice Jade Pill?

Could it be that she was really a virgin and wanted to change her fate by evolving her spiritual roots?

But this thought was really absurd. If she was really a virgin, how had she become the Empress Dowager?

With a mind filled with doubts, he asked without a second thought, "I know the effects and uses of the Ice Jade Pill very clearly. What are you using it for?"

There was a sharp contraction of the pupils in the Empress Dowager’s eyes. She seemed very surprised that Xu Que knew the uses and effects of the Ice Jade Pill.

However, in no time she regained her composure. "This has nothing to do with you," she said coldly. "You only need to bring the Ice Jade Pill back and I shall grant you your wish!"

"Hoho!" Xu Que gave a fake smile. Then he answered ambiguously, "I see!"

After that, he walked away quickly.

"Young Hero Xu, I’ll be waiting for you!"

He heard the Empress Dowager’s voice again after he took a few steps.

Xu Que’s lips twitched but he did not stop. He went straight towards the center of the Palace.

The Empress Dowager stood in her chamber, watching Xu Que far away till he disappeared from view, and her eyes gradually turned cold and sharp.

"Shameless scum," she muttered under her breath. "If I didn’t need to rely on you to enter the Imperial Tombs of the Water Nation, I would have killed you. Who are you to lust after my body?"

Boom!

With a wave of her hand, the doors of her chamber abruptly closed and were now tightly shut!

However, what she did not know was that Xu Que had never thought of coming back.

This guy often never meant what he said. Earlier on, he had replied using the words ’I see’. He had not promised that he would bring back the Ice Jade Pill.

...

After Xu Que was quite a distance from the Empress Dowager’s chamber, he suddenly turned around.

Thinking back to the Empress Dowager’s last sentence, ’I’ll be waiting for you’, his lips curled up with disdain.

Are you kidding me? Waiting for me?

Why are you waiting for me? This Act Tough King has the important task of acting tough as well as reviving Xiao Rou. I don’t have the time and nor do I want to make the effort to come back here and give you the Ice Jade Pill!

What an arrogant Empress Dowager! Why would I want you?

Ice Jade Pill right? When I find them, I’ll go back to Fire Country and give one to beautiful Sect Leader Su, then one for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Su Ling’er, and one for Madam Ya. That leaves none for you, the Empress Dowager!

Oh yes, and one for the Water Empress!

Oh no, only three Ice Jade Pills. There’s not enough to go around...

Xu Que instantly realised a dilemma. He furrowed his eyebrows and pondered over who he should give the Ice Jade Pills to. Unknowingly, he had reached the front hall of the Palace.

A eunuch saw him and scurried over anxiously. "Aiya, Young Hero Xu, I have finally found you now. The teleportation device is complete. His Majesty has sent me to lead the way."

"So this time it’s really His Majesty who sent you right?" remarked a suspicious Xu Que who puckered an eyebrow.

The eunuch was baffled for a moment. "Young Hero Xu, what do you mean?"

"It’s nothing, hurry and lead the way!" said Xu Que who waved his hands dismissively.

"Alright, Young Hero Xu, please follow this old servant," the eunuch hurriedly responded. "His Majesty and your pet have been waiting for a long while now." The eunuch led the way attentively as they swiftly made their way to the teleportation device.

When Xu Que heard the words ’pet’, he was slightly startled. "Buttface is there too?"

"Yes, your pet has been here these two days and has refused to leave the Imperial Kitchen," nodded the eunuch. "When he heard that you are going to take the teleportation device today to teleport to the Water Nation, he finally left the Imperial Kitchen and wanted to leave with you."

Xu Que’s lips gave an uncontrollable twitch.

He thought Buttface had a lot of backbone as he had disappeared when they had returned from the Imperial Tombs. Never had he thought that Buttface had just been stealing food in the Imperial Kitchen.

It was a no-brainer that Buttface had definitely borrowed his heroic, prestigious name to get nice food and drink!

...

In no time, the eunuch had led Xu Que to the place where the teleportation device had been built.

A huge, ancient-looking teleportation device appeared before him.

The entire teleportation device had been built using spirit stones which were engraved with runes. Moreover, the spirit stones had been inlaid with metal to supply an immense amount of metal spiritual Qi.

There were several figures standing beside the huge teleportation device. They were the Metal Emperor, the Third Prince and the Seventh Princess.

And of course, Buttface was there too!

In just two days, that cheapskate dog had actually gained weight. Now, he was lying lazily atop the teleportation device, sunbathing.

"Young Master Xu, you’re here!"

"Young Hero Xu!"

The Seventh Princess and the Third Prince greeted Xu Que with warm smiles when they saw him.

Xu Que clasped his hands in salutation and exchanged a few words with them as courtesy.

As for the Metal Emperor, when he saw Xu Que and the Seventh Princess talking cheerfully and humorously with each other, his facial expression seemed concerned, as though he was worried that his daughter might get abducted.

"Little Seven," interrupted the Emperor. "Young Hero Xu has urgent matters to attend to. Do not waste Young Hero Xu’s time!"

"Oh..."

The Seventh Princess stopped chatting in slight embarrassment. She bade farewell to Xu Que. "Young Master Xu, farewell!"

"Well, I should be on my way too! Everyone, farewell!"

Xu Que clasped his hands again to bid goodbye as he did not want to waste too much time as well. He stepped inside the teleportation device and stepped on Buttface’s belly.

"Owwww..."

Buttface howled when he was awakened by the pain.

"Start the teleportation device!"

At this time, the Metal Emperor ordered his men to start the device. Clearly, he wanted to send Xu Que, the big disaster, away as soon as possible.

Booomm!

With a loud sound, the entire teleportation device glowed with white, bright light.

Under the sad gazes of the Seventh Princess and the Third Prince, the teleportation device started to rotate rapidly and the spiritual Qi started to intertwine. Xu Que and Buttface’s silhouettes gradually faded away!
