Mission: Seduce the Master!
Chapter 120: Empress Yu Longfeng

Returning to Eunuch Xian's tale, he was very excited and proud. It seemed that the imperial family of the Dynasty indeed had some interesting roots.

But what was interesting was whether the Empress had dragon blood. Xie Qing could also be considered a sort of carrier of dragon blood, and although there was very little of it left, some still existed.

And so, after a long chat, Eunuch Xian led them straight to the audience hall. He bid them farewell and left, looking pleased.

"How interesting. He always distracted me during the conversation, not allowing me to remember the path we took, and it seems that many restrictions and formations in the castle made the map of the castle I remembered in my head useless," thought Xie Qing, looking curious: "It seems that I really underestimated the castle's defenses.

No matter how brightly the old man smiled, he couldn't hide the foul smell from his mouth."

While Xie Qing was lost in thought, a loud explosion sounded. As it turned out, it was Xu Mei, who had kicked open the door to the audience hall.

"..."

Even a person like Xie Qing, who had inherited some audacity and a carefree attitude from his Master, could not help but lose his speech at such rude behavior from Xu Mei.

And at the same time, the woman sitting behind the curtain covering her throne was also somewhat surprised.

"It seems that you haven't changed, Mei-Mei," a cold and authoritative female voice rang out, which was also gentle and conveyed a sense of omnipotence.

The young man recovered from his surprise, although he was still amazed at his Master's behavior.

"Maybe I can enter like that too if I become stronger?" he seriously thought.

Hey, stop, that's enough! Spare the door!

Fortunately, the future door breaker was interrupted by Xu Mei loudly shouting in displeasure.

"Little Mei-Mei? You old hag, you've turned yourself into a wise old grandmother? You're only 400 years older than me!"

"It doesn't matter. Your behavior is still childish, from which I conclude - you haven't grown up a bit," the empress replied nonchalantly.

"Pf! And you've grown up, have you? Should I remind you of your annoying behavior?"

"...That was two thousand years ago. I was young," followed the answer with a somewhat strange tone.

Xie Qing was too puzzled by their dialogue, so he did not interfere. He simply could not conclude - were they enemies or best friends? Judging by what he saw, they were like close friends!

It seemed that the Empress was much more patient than Xu Mei, so she interrupted the dialogue.

"Alright, enough childishness. Allow me to introduce you to our young genius," her authoritative voice sounded, which regained its coldness and grandeur.

At that moment, Xie Qing felt a little strange - his right hand trembled and turned red as if there was a seal of the Black Dragon in it...!

"Hm?"

"Hm?"

These two simultaneously uttered a puzzled grunt. If the Empress could not understand the reason why her hand was pulsating, then Xie Qing saw a message in front of him.

Ding!

[The body of the Golden Dragon reacts to the bloodline of the Silver Dragon...!]

Ding!

[Mission received: Merge with the bloodline of the Silver Dragon]

[Description: The Silver Dragons were lords of cold and iron, possessing supreme power and second only to the Golden Dragons. Considered a subordinate race, the Silver Dragons were forced to serve and obey. If a Golden Dragon merges with a Silver Dragon, it will be able to increase its power]

[Reward: Raising cultivation by two sub-realms, Dao technique "Starfall - Majesty of the Golden Dragon," Dao technique "Dual Cultivation - edited version for dragons"]

"Hmmm?!

Xie Qing could not hide his shock. He had a little information about the dragon race, and they were mostly divided into various types.

The most famous were the Golden Dragons, Silver Dragons, and Copper Dragons. The latter were the most common, while the first two were considered the strongest bloodlines.

The Golden Dragon, however, was considered the progenitor of the dragon race.

Meanwhile, the Empress also had a strange reaction. Her body screamed of a strange thirst and pulled towards the young man who stood puzzled, apparently still amazed by their dialogue.

"What is this with me?" she wondered and, furrowing her beautiful brows, suppressed this feeling: "Annoying heat... as if a fever."

Remembering the Silver Dragons, they had an eternal curse of servitude. If a female Silver Dragon is with a male Golden Dragon, they will feel a natural desire to "merge" with him.

Of course, the only reason the Empress could suppress this sensation in her body was because her blood was diluted and there was little of it.

Although this incident was not the most pleasant, the Empress had not sat on the throne for several days but had ruled the entire Dynasty for many years.

Her self-control quickly returned to its former state, while her posture straightened, and she spoke again.

"Young Master Xie, your achievements are talked about throughout the cultivation world. I must admit, this is the second time I have seen such impressive young talent," the Empress began her speech in a balanced and calm tone: "You have defeated countless jiangshi, thwarted the plans of devilish cultivators, thus saving countless inhabitants of the Dynasty."

"...Ah, yes..."

Xie Qing returned to reality, hearing the Empress's voice. He looked at her, waiting for further words.

"It seems that you are also wary of me," she continued, her voice sounding somewhat cold: "I think Mei-Mei has filled your head with something foolish. After all, people grow compared to her."

"Yes, yes, tell us more, we believe you wholeheartedly," Xu Mei muttered sarcastically, unhappily twisting the corners of her mouth.

"However, I must admit that your talent truly shook my perception. That's why I would like to offer you the position of a first-level official in the imperial palace," the Empress said, ignoring Xu Mei.

"What?!"

First of all, Xu Mei was surprised, and looked at the Empress's offer with obvious suspicion, while Xie Qing did not know how to react to this.

"I think you don't realize the value you bring to the world, so I'll explain," the Empress continued and stood up, approaching the curtain and opening it, revealing herself: "The cultivation world is silent, but all eyes are on you. You, who became known as the disciple of the Sword Princess, are the target of envious and evil glances. Even devilish cultivators cannot ignore you."

"Hm-m-m?"

Xie Qing was surprised to see this beautiful woman with a cold gaze, dressed in a golden hanfu with a phoenix crown, but most of all, he was attracted by her words about the devilish cultivators.

"So I've become their target?" he thought: "Well, that was inevitable. Whether I want it or not, just the status of the Sword Princess's disciple makes me a target for many people."

The Empress did not continue, allowing the young man to think, and when she noticed that he had come to his senses, she proudly continued.

"Undoubtedly, Mei-Mei has the power to protect you, but she has no competent subordinates at all. Your family may become the target of many evil people," the Empress continued and added with a proud look: "But I, Yu Longfeng, hold power over the continents and can give you everything you desire. From beautiful women to great power!"

"..."

This was an obvious attempt to lure Xie Qing. From these words, Xu Mei could not restrain herself and released her aura.

It should be said that this was the first time Xie Qing saw his Master in such anger. From her fury, the world trembled, mortals were in a panic, and birds in the sky lost their orientation and fell to the ground, dying senselessly.

However, Yu Longfeng did not falter. She still stood proudly, her posture was straight, and her sexy body with slender legs was just as bright.

"Yu Longfeng... it seems that you overestimate yourself too much," the cold voice of Xu Mei, who looked as if she was barely restraining herself from strangling the empress: "You are trying to lure my disciple right in front of my eyes? Do you think I am blind and deaf?"

"Suy Mei, your reaction is too exaggerated. I am not insisting that he become part of my Dynasty, this is just a sincere offer," Yu Longfeng replied indifferently, not flinching from this pressure: "If you are his Master, then you have no right to limit his choices. Moreover, I am sure that under my protection, he will grow much faster."

"Hmph!"

Yu Longfeng frowned and snapped her fingers. Immediately, the earthquakes in the outer world ceased, but the pressure of Xu Mei's aura did not disappear. The Empress simply put up a barrier around the throne room.

Then, seeing that the situation was heating up, Xie Qing took Xu Mei by the hand, greatly surprising her.

"Master... let me decide this question," said the young man, not paying attention to the hundreds of wounds that appeared on his body.

"Eh..."

Xu Mei panicked a little when she discovered that her aura had seriously injured Xie Qing. Guilt could be read in her eyes.

"It's okay."

Xie Qing nodded and waved his hand, signaling to the panicking Xu Mei not to worry. These wounds were only minor cuts. If the Master had not controlled herself so as not to harm the young man, the result would have been worse.

Then, bowing to Empress Yu Longfeng, Xie Qing replied to her offer.

"Although Your Majesty's offer is somewhat attractive to me, I have sworn that I will not leave my Master and will stand by her side until the end. I hope for your understanding."

"Hm..."

Yu Longfeng nodded briefly, seemingly not at all surprised by such an answer. And Xu Mei, on the other hand, showed a gentle smile on her beautiful face, which even made the Empress raise an eyebrow.

Her face seemed to say: "This crazy woman can even smile?"

Xie Qing, in a way, wanted to agree, but he had long ago sworn to be with Xu Mei, and if he became part of the imperial palace, they would be separated by miles.

Moreover, in his plans was also becoming the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, to contribute to its expansion.

And as is known, being simultaneously the leader of a sect and an official in the Dynasty is impossible. Because in serious moments, there could be confusion between interests.

For some time, the hall was silent.

Until the Empress made a repeated offer.

"Are you interested in the position of imperial censor?"
