“Your Majesty, you have been brushing your teeth for an hour… Is it time to go to Qingxin Palace Hall? What exactly are we going to do there?” Ren Baqian felt dumbfounded as he leaned against the door and looked at the empress inside the hall.
During this one hour period, she broke six toothbrushes. Had the toothbrushes offended her?
If someone else were to do this, their gums would have worn out.
The empress paused for a moment before tossing the toothbrush over to Qing Yuan.
“Let’s go,” she said as she walked out of the hall.
“What’s bothering you today, Your Majesty?” Ren Baqian asked as he followed behind her.
“Nothing, I’m fine,” the empress replied without even turning her head around.
Ren Baqian smiled. He knew very well why the empress was acting abnormally, and he found it pretty amusing to see her behave like this.
The two of them entered the courtyard of Qingxin Palace Hall and saw Lin Qiaole lying there sprawled out on her back and drooling as she slept. She didn’t even mind the intense rays of sunlight that shone on her as she tightly gripped a bag of candy.
“Ahem!” As Ren Baqian cleared his throat, Lin Qiaole immediately quivered and got up.
“Your Majesty!” Lin Qiaole wiped away her saliva. She looked down at the bag of candy in her hand, then looked back at the people in front of her. She hesitated for a moment and unwillingly handed the candy over.
The empress took a glance at her and said, “You keep it.”
She couldn’t be any more familiar with that bag. She didn’t even need to take it from Lin Qiaole to know what was inside.
Lin Qiaole was pleased and immediately stuffed it into her clothes before proceeding to lead the way.
The empress turned her head and said to Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, and the bodyguards who followed along, “You guys wait outside.”
“Yes!”
“You, follow me in.” She glanced over at Ren Baqian.
The trio entered Qingxin Palace Hall and dashed up to the second floor. At the foot of the staircase, they could hear a series of violent coughs coming from the second floor.
The second floor was still as dusky as ever.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Librarian Lin rushed forward to greet the empress.
“Spare the formalities, Librarian Lin!” The empress waved her hand. “Since you asked for a meeting, there must be something that you wish to say!”
“Please allow me to have a look at Principal Ren’s condition,” Librarian Lin requested.
The empress tilted her head slightly while Ren Baqian took a step toward Librarian Lin.
Librarian Lin sized Ren Baqian up, stretched out her withered hand and pulled his shoulder over. He didn’t avoid it and allowed her to press on him.
Unexpectedly, Librarian Lin exerted quite a bit of force when she grabbed Ren Baqian’s shoulder. Her fingers pressed down hard, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
She then pressed on his backbone before taking a few steps back and saying, “Theoretically, Sir Ren will be able to bear a child with Your Majesty!”
“However…:”
Both Ren Baqian and the empress began to frown.
Nobody liked hearing the words “however” or “but” because they implied the words that were to follow.
“However, Sir Ren’s body might not be able to withstand Your Majesty’s strength, and Your Majesty might hurt Sir Ren. I believe that both of you are aware of this,” Librarian Lin continued.
Ren Baqian immediately felt like cursing. Librarian Lin’s words sounded very unpleasant.
After hearing these blunt words, the empress’s face turned red as steam started billowing from her head.
“This is exactly what I predicted and the reason why I asked both of you to come,” Librarian Lin explained unhurriedly.
“Please get to the point, Librarian Lin.” Ren Baqian took a step forward.
Seeing how the empress was fuming with embarrassment at this moment, Ren Baqian assumed that she probably wouldn’t rebut. Besides, the things that Librarian Lin brought up were issues that he had always been thinking about. He originally thought this problem could be resolved by using the release posture, but it seemed like there was a better option now.
“There is a series called [The Yang Boosting Technique] in Qingxin Palace Hall. Once you practice it, your essence blood and qi will rise to the surface of your body and greatly increase your bodily strength. This is a secret manual from the Hao Nation’s royal family, and every successive emperor practiced it since they were young.
Previously, Sir Ren’s Yang qi wasn’t sufficient—if you forcefully practiced this technique, it would expend a lot of essence blood.
Now that you have broken through to the Earth Wheel level, you can start to practice this technique,” Librarian Lin said.
“How long do I need to practice this for?” Ren Baqian asked curiously.
“It will take at least three months to see results, but practicing this technique isn’t as easy as you think.
This technique comprises of the main and complementary types. When an adult male of the Hao Nation’s royal family practiced this technique, he would choose 18 gifted female virgins as supporting tools by using the Yin energy to boost the Yang. They were respectively divided into three groups of six to support the ordinary person level, the Man Wheel level, and the Earth Wheel level.
Once the female virgins practiced the complementary technique to a certain level of proficiency, the weakest one would be used as a support tool as the others continued practicing. Whenever the practitioner of the main technique reached a new phase, he would need to use another female virgin who had practiced the complementary technique to a matching level and have her support him.
Once the remaining 12 female virgins had attained the Man Wheel level, the weakest six would remain as support tools. Once the others had attained the Earth Wheel level, they would become support tools for when the main practitioner attained the Earth Wheel level.
It’s said that once the main practitioner reached the Spirit Wheel level, he would still require support tools of the same level. However, who would dare to use a Spirit Wheel expert as a support tool?” Librarian Lin explained slowly. What she said made the faces of both Ren Baqian and the empress change.
However, both of them kept silent and allowed the old woman to continue speaking.
“The main point of this technique is to use the Yin energy to supplement the Yang and help it grow. There’s a slight modification of this technique that accelerates the process, but it also comes with a price. The practitioner would only be able to complete the initial levels of this technique and would strengthen their body to a certain extent, but wouldn’t be able to progress any further. The things you need will be the Yin essence of six Earth Wheel level females as well as the cultivation of their entire lives.”
The corners of Ren Baqian’s mouth drew down after hearing this. This technique sounded lowly, sl*tty, and was truly very different from the proper techniques that he had been practicing! He had better forget about this technique. This old woman must be harboring malicious intentions by suggesting such things.
The empress remained silent for a while before saying in a deep voice, “I understand. I will get six people from the Yun Nation who fulfill the criteria. Can we still make it in time?”
“Yes, if it’s within three months!” Librarian Lin replied.
“Your Majesty, I don’t need to practice such techniques. We can look for other methods.” Ren Baqian was astonished.
“Shut up!”
“Don’t get anxious, both of you, I’m not done yet. Even though this technique has been modified, the main and complementary aspect of it still remains. The females must also practice the complementary technique. It’s useless if the person you find refuses to learn it.”
“I will look for those who are associated with sects. With blades tied to their necks, they will naturally agree,” the empress said with a cold look on her face.
Ren Baqian felt a little touched. Even he felt that this technique was a little excessive, let alone the empress.
Even though the veins on her neck were almost popping out, she still made this decision despite feeling unhappy about it. How could he not be moved after seeing someone of her status do this for him?
“Your Majesty, I will never practice this technique. We can look for other methods,” Ren Baqian repeated himself in a deep voice.
“You don’t wish to?” The empress glanced over at him with a cold look.
“I spend all my time with you, so other women simply look like dried bones to me. Does Your Majesty think that I can use some dried bones as a support tool?” Ren Baqian gave the empress a good-natured smile.
“Is this my fault then? Should I apologize?” The empress was clearly overwhelmed with jealousy. Furthermore, out of all people, it involved Ren Baqian, yet she still had to put up a magnanimous front.
She must be fuming mad.
The empress wasn’t someone who would force a smile if she was fuming mad. Her face would immediately turn as cold as ice.
From now on, she decided not to be pleased with Ren Baqian no matter what, even though she was actually pretty satisfied with how he responded just now
