Chapter 195 - Beauty Trap?
Chapter 195 Beauty Trap?
No matter what others said, Emperor Zhou did not think Su Wen was such a person. He could not accept it!
If that little bastard really cared about the people of the world… would there still be bad people in the world? At this moment, Emperor Zhou suddenly remembered… that Su Wen’s name was on Ji Yuchen’s memorial.
At that time, Emperor Zhou finished reading it and did not think too much about it. After all, the tax system originated from Su Wen, so it was not surprising for him to write Su Wen’s name.
He thought that Ji Yuchen wanted to rely on Su Wen’s name! Especially since very few people knew about that memorial, because Emperor Zhou did not want to expose it… He knew very well that once this memorial was spread, Ji Yuchen and the others would definitely be in danger.
But now that he thought about it, what if the memorial was really signed by Su Wen himself?
On second thought, if Su Wen did not care about the world, why would he think of such a tax system?
Could it be…
An unwilling thought rose in Emperor Zhou’s mind…
Could it be that Su Wen was really a selfless person who truly cared about the world?
Thinking about Su Wen’s usual behavior, Emperor Zhou quickly shook his head and threw this ridiculous thought out of his mind. He stood up and said, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That brat is definitely not such a person. I still have something to do. I’ll leave first…”
After saying that, Emperor Zhou quickly stood up and ran off…
At this moment, a eunuch reported, “Your Majesty, Su Wen requests an audience outside the palace. He says he wants to enter the palace to deliver the books!”
That’s right. Over the past few days, Su Wen had honestly sat down and written a new ending
However, even with the Empress’s reprimand, he still did not change the Liang Zhu into a blissful ending. He only wrote it again based off the original plot.
Seeing that his Emotional Value was not increasing much, Su Wen came to the palace to deliver the new ending!
The Empress said with an ashamed expression, “It’s all my fault. I even let Su Wen rewrite it!”
Emperor Zhou didn’t think much of it. “So what? Letting that brat write is giving him face. Alright, there’s no need for him to enter the palace. Just send the book in!” Emperor Zhou gave the order. He could tell that the Empress was feeling guilty.
Since that was the case, he might as well not see Su Wen.
Soon, Su Wen received a reply. He handed the book to the eunuch and boarded the carriage to leave.
In the Spiritual Masters’ No.7 Residence, in Ni Hongxiao’s laboratory, she was still doing experiments. To Ni Hongxiao, this was her daily life.
The red-haired little girl who was born from the egg sat at the side, bored to death. “Lifegiver… I’m hungry!” the little girl said in a cute voice. In reality, even in ancient times, mothers were also addressed as ‘lifegiver’. It was just that it was treated as a sort of slang. (TL Note: When written in Chinese, it can either be as a form of address (mother) or as a term (lifegiver).)
Even in Su Wen’s previous life, such a thing was recorded in the ancient Chinese books.
It was the same in this world. The first words a child could grasp would usually be basically mother. This applied even though the girl was different from normal children. Ni Hongxiao didn’t even raise her head. “Go outside and roast some meat yourself! Also, roast some for me.”
The little girl pursed her lips and said, “Didn’t you say that Father would come? Why isn’t he here yet?”
“You can only ask him when he comes!” Ni Hongxiao’s logic was very clear.
The little girl grumbled, “I want to go out. You said you would bring me to the streets many times!” Ni Hongxiao raised her head and looked at her seriously. “Su Su, I think with your divine soul, spiritual power, and the physical ability of your brain, there shouldn’t be any memory deviation. What I’m telling you is that when I’m done with the experiments on hand, I’ll bring you out when I’m free! Now, the prerequisites are not completed! Furthermore, I’ve only told you this once! I haven’t said it many times. If you have memory deviation, then I feel that I should do a full body checkup for you! Perhaps there’s a problem with your body.”
“You’re such a boring woman. No wonder Daddy didn’t come back!” Su Su pouted before leaving
With a flick of her hand, a bonfire was created in the courtyard.
She pulled out a cow leg that was bigger than her body from somewhere and slowly roasted it over the fire.
At this moment, Su Wen had already returned home.
He opened the system interface!
Host: Su Wen
Emotional Value: 2.47 million points
Level: 28
Cultivation: 6th Grade Earth Rank
Cultivation Technique: Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra
Battle Technique: Jadebreak Fist (LV9) Layered Wave Saber (LV9) Stellar Transposition (LV3) Great Solar Supreme Skill (LV2) Roaming Dragon Wind Sword (LV1)
Bloodline: Vermilion Bird
Looking at the Emotional Value he currently possessed, Su Wen was very satisfied!
2.47 million! This was the gains from just this period of time!
He had even advanced six levels!
Now, Su Wen fell into a dilemma. How should he spend it?
Should he directly improve his battle technique? If it was in the past, Su Wen would definitely do this without hesitation.
However, this time, Su Wen suddenly did not want to do so.
Thinking of Wu Kunhu, Su Wen suddenly felt that he should really put himself in his shoes and cultivate properly. And not simply just using Emotional Value to increase the proficiency of his martial techniques.
At the bottom of it all, Emotional Value could not increase one’s cultivation level. If he really wanted to break through to Heaven Rank, he would have to rely on his own understanding of martial arts!
If breaking through to the Heaven Rank required what they called martial comprehension…
That must be it!
Right now, Su Wen’s current understanding of martial arts was very utilitarian.
It was only about how much force a move could produce, and the grade of the martial technique. Everything else was upgraded through the system. This was Su Wen’s understanding of martial arts.
Right now, Su Wen turned his attention to the system store.
There were many things that could be exchanged in the merchant shop within the system. There were heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as all sorts of precious beast spirit blood. There were also some weapons, props, and some methods to strengthen one’s training.
Initially, Su Wen did not like to exchange for these items. On the one hand, he did not have enough Emotional Value. On the other hand, in Su Wen’s opinion, there was no need for them with the system’s upgrade.
If he could directly increase his proficiency, why would he need to practice?
However, this time, Su Wen decided to do as Wu Kunhu said and strengthen himself in all aspects!
The item that had caught his eye was: Super Gravity Training Room! Total value exchange: 800,000 points.
To develop the body, gravity training was naturally the simplest and most effective method.
“Exchange!”
Su Wen hardened his heart and immediately spent 800,000 Emotional Value points.
He felt his heart bleeding. If he used these 800,000 to increase his martial techniques, then perhaps even a Heaven Rank martial technique could be raised to the maximum level!
However, since Su Wen had made his decision, he would not regret it!
After exchanging for the Super Gravity Training Room, Su Wen turned his attention to another item!
[Training Time Freeze Card! During training in a training room provided by the system, you can buy it. After using it, you can stop time for a year! For a single price, 400,000 Emotional Value!]
This thing was really expensive, but Su Wen still exchanged for it.
He knew that he had not suffered much since he started practicing martial arts.
Perhaps the greatest hardship was to be able to endure meditation and cultivation. If he really wanted to do as Wu Kunhu said, his foundation was too weak. He would definitely need a lot of time.
The Time Freeze Card was undoubtedly a good choice! Su Wen exchanged for one first! He planned to try and practice with it first! “Enter the training room!” In an instant, Su Wen’s perspective changed. He appeared in a place surrounded by white walls.
“Please note that when you cultivate in the training room, you won’t feel hungry or sleepy. After every training session, your physical stamina will automatically be replenished with rest. It will be ten times faster than the recovery speed of the outside world.”
“In the training room, the host’s body will not suffer any real harm, so the host can try any method of cultivation.”
“The host can use Emotional Value to hire training assistants. They can help the host, and satisfy all of the host’s needs for training.”
“If the host needs a training tool. it can be imagined in your mind, and the system will automatically fill in the blanks to create it. We wish the host a pleasant training experience!” Su Wen took a deep breath. He knew that his real cultivation was about to begin!
After pondering for a moment, Su Wen decided to cultivate the Sunburst Spirit Finger first.
As the martial technique Su Wen used the most in the Great Solar Supreme Policy, Su Wen planned to start from it! “Gravity enhanced! 20 times gravity!”
In an instant, Su Wen’s body sank down.
He did not circulate his True Qi, and only used his physical body to point out! Movement! It was just a move that Su Wen had never cared about before!
He began to practice bit by bit!
Once, twice, thrice…
As he practiced, Su Wen’s body gradually began to sweat.
It was boring… and stupid…
On the first day, he did not feel anything. The next day, there was still nothing.
On the third day, there was still no sign of a change. But he continued to train.
The fourth day… The fifth day… The month ended…
The second month ended… the third month…
At this moment, if one were to check in on Su Wen, they would discover that the gravity training had surprisingly already been adjusted to 40 times!
His body was much stronger than before! At this moment, Su Wen realized that he had been guarding a treasure without opening it! His mastery of the moves had also improved by leaps and bounds.
Su Wen also had his own views on each of his moves.
He realized that he might have been too lazy in the past. The difference between practicing and not practicing a martial technique was worlds apart!
After practicing martial arts for tens of thousands of times, its meaning would be revealed!
After countless boring practice sessions, Su Wen seemed to have trained all his actions into some sort of an instinct. His attack speed had increased tremendously! This was an improvement that the system’s martial comprehension could not achieve!
Su Wen was no longer satisfied with just practicing his moves. He began to use various training equipment to strengthen his body. As long as Su Wen could think of something, the system would be able to materialize it. Su Wen started to strengthen his body to the extreme!
This was something that even Wu Kunhu had not expected. Su Wen’s current body tempering cultivation technique could not be considered a top-notch cultivation technique, but Su Wen’s body still contained the Vermillion Bird bloodline. This meant that his body had almost unlimited potential!
Under such training, the potential of the body, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, was gradually dug out. In the training room, Su Wen was carrying a barbell, and the gravity had been raised yet again! His face turned red as he slowly squatted down. Crack!
Su Wen’s femur cracked!
His body had boundless potential, but rashly using training that exceeded the limits of his body would cause extremely serious damage.
Su Wen roared in agony and frustration, even as he slowly stood back up!
As he endured the intense pain, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead!
Bang!
The barbell was thrown to the ground. Su Wen finally heaved a sigh of relief.
His training had ended!
As he muttered to himself, reviewing his training, his injuries recovered at a rapid pace!
This was the benefit of the system.
People always said that they had to break through their limits, but no one knew where their true limits were.
If one rashly used methods that exceeded their limits during training, it was extremely easy to get injured.
However, Su Wen had no such concerns in this super system training room.
At this moment, the only sigh he had was that he had started too late in his training journey!
A year was not enough for him to make up for his deficiencies.
Because according to Wu Kunhu, Su Wen had too many things to catch up in training.
The control training of True Qi, resistance training, and the cultivation of other martial techniques in the Great Solar Supreme Policy had yet to begin.
This was especially so since Su Wen did not have anyone to guide him. He had to figure out how to improve himself!
Every aspect required time!
And in the training room… a year had already
passed!
Su Wen unhesitatingly bought another card!
Two years later, Su Wen bought another card! Three years passed! Su Wen did not continue to purchase any more training cards. At this point, his Emotional Value was almost used up. Meanwhile, in the training room… Su Wen and a figure were fighting at high speed!
This was the system’s sparring assistant.
The expert produced by the system was currently fighting against Su Wen. It was an 8th Grade Earth Rank expert! The first time Su Wen hired an expert from the system, he had discovered a shocking point! These experts were all perfect, all rounded warriors like Wu Kunhu.
At the same cultivation level, he was easily crushed in the beginning!
Fortunately, this sparring partner was paid according to the time, and the system space could quickly heal injuries.
Otherwise, with these guys’ prices, he would really suffer a huge loss. After three years, Su Wen could barely keep up with these sparring partners. It was also thanks to the accelerated recovery effect in the system space that Su Wen could train harder than ordinary people! These three years were equivalent to six years for an ordinary person. He himself had been working day and night without sleep.
No ordinary person could train endlessly like him.
In reality, this cultivation session was also a huge challenge to Su Wen’s mental will. He had thought of quitting several times, but he had relied on his own determination and viciousness to train for three years! His Emotional Value had basically been depleted, but Su Wen had in turn received a huge boost! The foundation that was not so solid at first was tempered, and his cultivation level rose to 8th Grade Earth Rank! His combat strength had also increased tremendously. Now, Su Wen wanted to clash with Old Wu again. In the system space, Su Wen’s Great Solar Supreme Policy was also upgraded to LV4. This time, he relied on himself to comprehend it.
Bang!
He exchanged another blow with the system sparring partner, and both parties separated.
The sparring partner slowly disappeared.
Su Wen’s consciousness also returned to reality!
A smile appeared on his face. He was finally back.
Su Wen clenched his fists lightly as he clearly felt the increase in physical strength in his body! Only such strength would allow him to step firmly in this world.
It was but a mere blink of an eye for the outside world, but for Su Wen, three years had already passed. Su Wen now turned to look at the lucky draw system. [Ding-dong. The host has drawn a Heaven Rank cultivation technique, Nine Charm Heavenly Fragrance! (Limited to those with a charming body.]
[Note:There might be unexpected benefits in practicing this…]
Su Wen was delighted to see this note. After Xie Yiyi’s cultivation dissipated, she tried to cultivate again, but for some reason, her progress was slow. This came at the right time, he could give her this cultivation technique to try out.
[Ding-dong. The host has drawn a K/DA doll!] (T1 Note: Think it’s an LOL reference, LOL players please share) Eh? What’s the use of this thing?
[Ding-dong. The host has drawn a kid’s princess dress.] [Ding-dong. The host has drawn x1 Hundred Transformations Hair Card!)
Su Wen finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and spat angrily, “System, are you an idiot? What’s the use of giving me these things?” Unfortunately, the system did not respond.
(Ding-dong. The host has drawn a pair of kid’s crystal shoes…]
“Scram, scram, scram! F*ck! The emperor is urging me to give birth, my father is urging me to give birth, and you f*cking joined in the fun? Go to hell!”
Su Wen turned off the system immediately.
He walked out of the chamber and headed straight for Cui Yumian’s room!
“Husband! Why are you here?”
“Hehe! Do you know how I’ve been living during this period of time?” “Ah? Husband, didn’t you say you were going to cultivate tonight? You only went in for a while!”
“I’m done! I can’t take it anymore!”
“Ning Shuang! Call Yiyi and Luoying over! Today, I’ll tell you the story of the Monkey vs the Spider Demoness!”
The next morning, Su Wen felt refreshed.
After leaving the room, he stretched his back! An 8th Grade Earth Rank… Why not go look for Old Wu?
That fellow still owed him a Wind-Ripping Hou.
Forget it, better keep a low profile for now.
Su Wen pondered for a moment before hiding a large amount of his cultivation base in the Moon Palace.
In the perception of ordinary people, he was still around 6th Grade Earth Rank.
“That’s right, this will do.”
At this moment, Su Wen looked at the Sorcerer God’s Golden Gu in his body helplessly. How long was this fellow going to cocoon itself up? Why was there no movement at all?
As he pondered, someone suddenly came to report: “Fei Chi is outside the residence seeking an audience!”
Su Wen was stunned. Why was this old fellow asking to see him?
He still wanted to settle scores with me? Didn’t he complain to the emperor?
Was there no end to this? Did he really think that he would not hit the old man?
“Let him in! I want to see what this Old Fogey is up to!”
Su Wen arrived at the living room.
With a solemn expression, he waited quietly.
At this moment, no one expected that in the northern border, the Yan Country would suddenly gather their troops and brazenly attack Fort Boulder!
Yan Ze stood on the city wall and looked at the Yan Country’s army. He knew that sh*t was going to hit the fan!
It could even be said that the Yan Country had suddenly launched an attack with the power to topple countries!
“Urgent report to the capital, requesting reinforcements from His Majesty!” Yan Ze looked at the enemy troops and knew that this time, it would definitely be an earth-shattering battle!
He had to protect this Fort Boulder!
Besides, three more people had arrived in the capital at this moment.
One of them was Su Wen’s old enemy, Xu Qiao!
The other person was Tamu Chuan. However, the current Tamu Chuan was much smaller, only about two meters tall.
Although he was still abnormally tall, he would not be directly recognized as a barbarian.
Xu Qiao’s face was dark with anger and hatred!
He was actually sent out to kidnap Su Wen.
But there was nothing he could do. He was the one who understood the Zhou Country’s situation the best.
Beside him, Tamu Chuan rambled on, “The Great Elder is too much. He actually still wants to use the beauty trap. If you ask me, just the three of us can directly go up and grab that Su Wen and run out of the Great Zhou Country. Who can catch up to us? Right? It’s not that difficult!”
Xu Qiao was about to go crazy listening to him.
This son of a b*tch was like a stupid donkey. Did he think he could escape after capturing him? Did he think that there were no Heaven Rank experts in the Great Zhou? And that beauty trap that they planned! At the mention of this, Xu Qiao got angry. He looked at the Barbarian woman beside him, who was also two meters tall and had arms thicker than his thigh. There was no need to mention her looks.
If Su Wen were to see this, he would think that adding a beard to her face would make her look like Zhang Fei from the Three Kingdoms. Would he still fall for whatever beauty trap they were planning?
Even the boars in Su Wen’s family might not fall for it!
However, there was nothing they could do about it. In the eyes of the Barbarians, their perception of beautiful women was that they had to be tall and burly!
