The voice of the fairy left no room for doubt among the three people, and the three most powerful figures in Aolai Country couldn’t help but simultaneously suck in a breath of cold air.
As soon as the Xuan Nu finished speaking, the Marquis Beigong, who had secretly conspired with the Immortal Zifu beforehand, lowered his voice and said with a grave expression, “According to the Immortal’s prediction, the demon must be hiding somewhere within the palace, plotting even greater harm. We must ask the Empress to pay close attention and find him as soon as possible!”
At this moment, the Empress’s expression also turned anxious. That faint sense of detachment she had earlier vanished completely. If that terrifying demon was already inside the palace, didn’t that mean she was in danger at any moment?!
For a woman—especially a royal woman accustomed to intrigue and rivalry—the affairs of the Three Realms felt distant, but an immediate, personal threat was far more urgent. At last, the Empress raised her voice and spoke.
“Marquis, if there’s anything I can assist with, please say so directly!”
Xuan Nu gently waved her hand, and her divine magic instantly calmed the Empress’s heart. The Holy Maiden of Zifu then took over the conversation, her beautiful eyes flashing with a profound and distant light, like the night sky.
“Besides asking the Empress to remain vigilant for any abnormalities within the palace, we must also place a spy inside. However, this person must not raise suspicion, and must also possess some cultivation, in order to truly be effective!”
Before Xuan Nu had even finished speaking, the Right Chancellor and the Empress simultaneously blurted out, “We’ve got someone—her!”
Marquis Beigong’s lips twitched slightly. Glancing between Xuan Nu and the Empress, he finally lowered his gaze and gave a silent nod of agreement.
※※※※※※※※
Inside the palace, Qiao San—the bold and reckless man on whom Xuan Nu had focused her attention—was leisurely lounging in the palace of Imperial Concubine Yu.
Night had not yet fallen, but the man’s lustful hands were already reaching toward the high-ranking imperial concubine.
“Ahh, Qiao San, what are you doing?” Concubine Yu still struggled to escape, twisting her body free from his embrace, and warned him angrily, “Don’t forget—we are allies now. If you ruin Princess Yushan’s plans, I will surely report you!”
“Haha…” Qiao San shrugged carelessly, spreading his hands with a rogue’s smirk. “That’s a different matter, Your Majesty. And don’t forget our own agreement either—come on now—”
“You scoundrel, how dare you?!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? It’s not like it’s the first time!” Qiao San easily pinned the woman beneath him, and his thick, hard shaft easily slid into the woman’s jade gate.
Familiar rhythms once again echoed within Concubine Yu’s palace. The man’s powerful and lustful vigor remained unchanged, but the only difference this time was that the woman’s resistance had become half-hearted. In the end, Concubine Yu was even straddling Qiao San herself.
Her full breasts bounced as time passed, her beautiful hips swaying with the rhythm of passion. A unique pair of man and woman were now fully immersed in the play of desire!
“Ah—” A sharp cry rang out as the woman arched her body upward, her sweat-soaked body having already been driven to unconsciousness multiple times by Qiao San’s relentless assault.
“Qiao San, you bad man… please… I can’t take it anymore!” After several desperate pleas failed, Concubine Yu, seeking self-preservation, whispered seductively, “Sweetheart, would you like to play with a few beautiful women? I can help you!”
“Is that so? Tell me more!” The lustful man’s ears perked up immediately. However, his manhood still remained deep within the concubine’s body, his swollen head automatically swirling inside her.
“That old useless man may be past his prime, but he still has a taste for beautiful women. There are several concubines whose beauty rivals even mine. Tomorrow—just tomorrow—I’ll help you devise a plan to enjoy them to your heart’s content!”
In order to persuade Qiao San to “spare” her, Concubine Yu, for the first time in her life, generously praised other women, describing their beauty with breathless panting while rapidly devising a clever plan to entice the man, who was now trembling with excitement.
“Hmm, fine. But if you fail, don’t blame me for making love to you nonstop for three days and nights!”
Though his words were somewhat exaggerated, the thoroughly exhausted Concubine Yu still felt a great fright. Her drained and beautiful body couldn’t even lift a finger, yet her mind continued to race, involuntarily recalling her secret meeting with Princess Yushan earlier that day.
Just half a day earlier, in the same palace of Concubine Yu, while Qiao San was meditating to recover from his injuries, Princess Wanyao suddenly appeared.
“My Lady, please have some tea!” Though they were now technically sisters, the clever Concubine Yu still maintained her respectful tone, and this occasional show of reverence caused Princess Yushan to smile with visible satisfaction.
After the superficial pleasantries, Concubine Yu subtly changed the topic, speaking in a probing tone, “My dear sister, being in the mortal realm, what are your thoughts on the story of the hen crowing at dawn?”
“Bravo! My dear sister, you have ambition! No wonder I favored you from the first moment I saw you all those years ago!”
Princess Wanyao’s eyes lit up instantly, her feminine grace transforming into boldness and vigor. She slapped the table with her delicate hand and declared proudly, “Who says a hen cannot crow at dawn? Who says women are inferior to men? Hmph! In the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, only the strong deserve to rule!”
Her passionate words came from the heart. Concubine Yu’s beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement as the long-suppressed ambition in her heart seemed to sprout wings. In her eagerness to seek even greater support—or rather, greater blessings—from Princess Wanyao, the royal concubine, rarely so open, finally laid bare her innermost thoughts.
“I won’t hide anything from you, dear sister. Since childhood, I have always hated being born a woman. Now, I want to be that hen that crows at dawn, to turn the world upside down, to reverse the sun and moon!”
“Excellent! The mortal realm needs women like you with such courage! Don’t worry, I will certainly help you succeed!”
Princess Yushan gently placed down her teacup. After a brief pause, she resumed in a calm tone, “For now, I cannot openly support you. If you wish to succeed, you must tightly bind one person to your cause!”
“Who?!” Concubine Yu asked anxiously before immediately catching on from Princess Wanyao’s meaningful gaze and blurting out in surprise, “Qiao San?! Does he even have that capability?!”
“My dear sister, you underestimate him!” Princess Wanyao took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her lips, then spoke in a complex tone, “Though today’s Qiao San may not even last three moves against me, soon enough, even two of me might not be his match!”
Concubine Yu’s heart trembled. She could detect no falsehood in Princess Wanyao’s words, nor could she find any reason for her master to lie. The ambitious mortal woman took a deep breath, completely suppressing the hatred she had secretly harbored toward the rogue.
“My Lady, please tell me—what should I do? That Qiao San is a cunning rogue. Will he truly help us?”
Princess Wanyao’s long, beautiful eyes flickered with a mysterious smile as she replied in a slightly unusual tone, “That depends entirely on your skill! As long as Qiao San falls deeper into the path of lust and corruption, it will benefit both you and me greatly. You will naturally ascend to the throne as empress, and I will use the impure energies of the human world to rise straight into the heavens!”
