Chapter 370: You… Still Ended Up in My Trap!

This night was quiet and peaceful. There was nothing disordered in the Witch Empress’s palace until dawn. The Royal Palace was also awfully quiet. The Witch Empress slept peacefully as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yi spent his night sitting. He dared not to sleep or cultivate and had to stare at a peerless stunner and watch her fall asleep. There was a faint pleasant fragrance in the palace. The body of the Witch Empress also gave out a delicate smell. Obviously, it was not poisonous and did not attack Jiang Yi’s spirit.

At the age of only seventeen, Jiang Yi was a red-blooded male who had a fantasy for women. Last night, his evil fire was stirred by Mistress Liu. After that, he watched the empress of a kingdom bathing, changing, and sleeping in front of him. This beauty was under his control; he could do whatever he wanted to her without any consequence or psychological burden.

An ordinary person would let out his animal disposition and give in to lust for 300 times. Jiang Yi did not consider himself as a good person, or a coward, or a person who followed rules. This night, he tried his best and overcame these evil thoughts. He did not want to cheat on Su Ruoxue or to behave wildly. If he was set up, the repercussions would be deadly.

The day finally broke in, and Jiang Yi’s suffering ended. A clamor came from the royal palace. Obviously, countless people were busy working to prepare the King for the sacrifice at Mt. Witch God.

Jiang Yi’s heart became tense again. He remained in the palace, preventing any accidents from happening.

The Witch Empress did not have to accompany the King, and she commanded that no one would disturb her last night. While it was noisy outside, the bedroom was very quiet; and nobody dared to come in or disturb her. Jiang Yi spent the whole night in the Witch Empress’s palace; surprisingly, nobody dared to suspect anything. The rank of the Witch Empress in the chamber of concubines was conceivable.

Two hours later, the royal palace grew quiet. Clearly, the King had left the royal palace for the Mt. Witch God at the west of the city. Jiang Yi was also relieved and came near the Witch Empress, saying with a low voice, “Get up, your King should have left.”

“Ha…”

The soft body of the Witch Empress turned, and she sat up gracefully. She even stretched and yawned. It seemed like she had a really good sleep. As she lifted her arms, her plump breasts rose proudly; and her hair was a little messy. This scene looked so beautiful that Jiang Yi was intoxicated.

Moving the pupils of her beautiful eyes around, she glanced at Jiang Yi before saying, “You hide behind the screen first. Let me ask about the current situation.”

Nodded, Jiang Yi retreated to the back of a bedside screen. The Witch Empress summoned a maidservant and questioned her in front of Jiang Yi. As expected, the King had set out and should be heading towards the west city gate at this moment.

The Witch Empress asked the palace maids to put on her makeup and dress her up. She changed her clothes one more time, which was once again witnessed by Jiang Yi who was behind the screen. Once again, he saw the naked body of this gorgeous empress whose beauty stunned the world.

After changing her clothes, the Witch Empress sat quietly and had some breakfast. Then, she dismissed the palace maids and turned to Jiang Yi. “Regent, you can have some breakfast if you are not afraid of being poisoned. You did not sleep well last night?”

Damn!

Jiang Yi came out without expressions, but deep down, he was cursing and cursing. More than sleeping badly, he did not sleep at all; and he was more miserable than just sitting.

He did not eat anything but murmured, “When do we leave for the Sage King Residence?”

Sitting lazily, the Witch Empress said softly, “Two hours later. By then, the King should have reached the Mt. Witch God. We’ll take less than an hour to get to the Sage King Residence. When the King is making the sacrifice, it’s the perfect timing for you to escape easily.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi had studied the map; he calculated secretly. The Witch Empress did not deceive him. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he stared at the Witch Empress directly without saying a word. Suddenly, the Witch Empress smiled and said, “The Regent is famous for being a heavenly prodigy. Do I have the honor to have a look at your true appearance so I’ll know the kind of striking man that has defeated me?”

Jiang Yi pulsed, and the mask on his face shone. He took out the mask and revealed his true face. His face was not particularly handsome but was delicate and had chiseled features. His eyes were firm and assured, full of intimidating glamour. He had quite some masculinity.

“Sure enough, like a hidden dragon and phoenix!”

Nodding slightly, the Witch Empress said lugubriously, “When I was born, my lord was not yet in this world. By the time my lord was born, I aged. How I wish I can be the same age as the Regent. I would have pursued my lord madly. You are so charming and are worthy of being the dreams of all girls on the continent.”

Jiang Yi smirked and waved. “Don’t talk such nonsense to me. You should be desperate to burn me to dust instead?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Turning her eyes despondently to look through the windows towards the outside, the Witch Empress smiled wretchedly. “The Regent still does not understand women after all. The truth is… rather than being the empress, more women prefer to be with a peerless man together for eternity. This royal palace is like a cage; how can it be comparable to living with the Regent happily and roving all over the world?”

Jiang Yi was crept out by her words. He did not respond and sat in silence. Sighing slightly, the Witch Empress did not speak anymore. She dolefully looked at the pavilions and waterside pavilions at the outside. Jiang Yi did not know what she was thinking.

Two hours later, the Witch Empress got up and summoned the palace maids to arrange the trip. Jiang Yi had been vigilant but did not notice anything abnormal.

Soon, the guards of honor were ready. Jiang Yi turned his face into Lord Cao and followed the Witch Empress to her carriage. He observed that though a large number of imperial guards were accompanying her, there were only 10 Soul Travel Realm Experts who were all below the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm. Jiang Yi was immediately relieved.

The carriage was marching peacefully out of the palace. With the Witch Empress’s help, the trip was smooth and unhindered. Jiang Yi had seen the map; the carriage was indeed heading for the Sage King Residence. He felt more assured.

The Witch Empress saw that Jiang Yi looked out from time to time and seemed alerted. She laughed faintly and whispered, “Regent does not need to worry. I don’t want to die. Just as you’ve said, if I die, Qi Er 1 will never be able to live for more than another three years. I just hope that the Regent can be faithful in keeping his words and will not bully a weak woman like me.”

“A weak woman?”

Jiang Yi smiled contemptuously. Still, he sincerely said, “Jiang Yi has an indomitable spirit and always keeps his words. As long as you do not play any tricks, I naturally will not harm you.”

“We have arrived at the Sage King Residence!”

Soon after, a eunuch’s announcement came from the outside. Jiang Yi took a glance and was certain that they arrived at the Sage King Residence. He saw that there were also a lot of imperial guards.

The Witch Empress rose and whispered, “Let’s go! I will go in with you; otherwise, you won’t be able to get in. Later, you will hijack the empress and take the underground route with Yun Fei and Yun Xian, right? I recall that the Regent has a Zouwu Beast?”

“En!”

Jiang Yi nodded and came near her. “As long as the Witch Empress escorts us out of the city for a hundred miles, Jiang Yi promises to keep you safe.”

Nodding her head, the Witch Empress got off the carriage with Jiang Yi. The Sage King Residence was surrounded by guards who genuflected at the Witch Empress. Nobody dared to stop her.

The Witch Empress went straight into the Sage King Residence with Jiang Yi and a bunch of palace maids. The imperial guards quickly followed her. The King ordered them to put Yun Fei and Yun Xian under house arrest. There was another intention—to protect the safety of the two.

With the Witch Empress leading, the way was unimpeded. They soon reached the main hall of the Sage King Residence. The moment Jiang Yi entered the main hall, his eyes lit up for he saw Yun Fei and a handsome young man waiting to greet them, with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Everything was going towards the most ideal direction. Jiang Yi was getting more uneasy with the evermore plain-sailing situation. His disconcertion was getting stronger.

The Witch Empress was in front of her, and it was indeed Yun Fei in person. All the imperial guards were outside and did not dare to come in. There were very few martial experts inside the main hall. Nothing accidental happened.

“What exactly goes wrong?”

Jiang Yi’s inner warning was getting stronger and stronger. He could not figure out where the problem was.

Buzz!

At this very moment, suddenly the whole palace lit up; and a translucent shield shrouded the entire palace.

The Witch Empress suddenly turned to Jiang Yi, wearing a smile of a winner. She smiled evilly and said, “Shame. Lord Regent, you… still ended up in my trap!”
