Chapter 9: Once Dreamed of Wandering the World with a Sword

Then, the miserable Su Qingwen was not only thoroughly taken advantage of but this time, there was nothing left at all.

"You, you! Su Qingwen, I know exactly what you're up to. As soon as you lift your butt, I can tell what kind of fart you're going to let out," she vaguely heard Hua Yueye say in a low voice.

And what did she do then? She seemed to have turned over and let out a long - drawn - out fart at him... wasn't this just to verify that Hua Yueye wasn't lying!

Hua Yueye's face turned green.

...

When Su Qingwen woke up from her drowsy sleep, she instantly felt terrible.

She paced back and forth in the room, almost wearing out a layer of the floor.

"No, this won't do! Hua Yueye, that big - tailed wolf, is as shrewd as a fox. He's already seen through all my little thoughts. If he finds out that I want to topple him, won't I be a goner? And he even took advantage of me just because he's the emperor and good - looking!"

Su Qingwen kept muttering as she walked. She deeply pondered her bumpy future. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, and it was as if a light bulb had lit up above her head.

Bingo!

After weighing the options, she decided that her life was more important than the game tasks, and both were more important than her pride.

Humph! Even if I, Su Qingwen, have to spend the rest of my life in this virtual game, never be able to go back, never watch dramas, play games, read novels, or browse Weibo and Douyin again, I won't let Hua Yueye toy with me like a cat with a mouse and risk losing my life at any moment!

Yes, that's right!

Thinking of this, Su Qingwen immediately crawled under the bed and dragged out her treasure chest with a huff. She drooled as she began to count the gold and jewels inside.

Slurp. With this money, I can leave the palace, enjoy delicious food and drinks, keep a young lover, and reach the peak of my life!

Su Qingwen took out a cloth bag and quickly wrapped up the treasures, tying a delicate and beautiful knot.

Life needs a sense of ritual, especially when it comes to money.

But there was still one big problem: how to escape?

Ah! How could I forget! I can possess Hua Yueye and steal his waist token!

Thinking of this, Su Qingwen felt that her life was full of hope. A wonderful life was waving a handkerchief at her.

"I laugh to the sky boldly. After laughing, I'll go to sleep." She put her hands on her hips and recited loudly.

Humph, after I wake up, I'll steal the waist token tonight. Then she got into bed and pulled up the covers.

...

Night fell.

System, are you ready? We're going to do something big!

[System: To be honest, I think you have a misunderstanding about the act of stealing.]

Su Qingwen pretended not to hear and resolutely started her journey of possessing Hua Yueye.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've been in your body. Let me see if those chest and abdominal muscles are still there."

Su Qingwen, in Hua Yueye's body, started to grope herself under the pretext of "no real reason".

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The feeling is still the same!" Su Qingwen sighed.

She almost forgot about the main thing. She took out Hua Yueye's waist token and secretly put it in her own room. Then she sat down at the table, wracking her brains to teach him a lesson.

Draw a turtle on his face? No, no. It'll be obvious that it was me.

Strip naked and parade in the imperial garden? Well... that seems a bit of a waste.

How about throwing his body into the toilet and making a "human pig"? Hehe, this is a good idea, but if I'm discovered, I might die even more miserably...

Su Qingwen held a writing brush and thought and thought. She didn't notice that the time was up and suddenly returned to her own body.

Damn it! I haven't thought of how to get back at him yet!

And Hua Yueye, who had lost control, suddenly face - planted into the inkstone, getting his face covered in ink. He looked like a panda!

When Hua Yueye finally woke up, he saw Su Qingwen's masterpiece. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing wildly. When he felt that his waist token was missing, he immediately made a mental note against Su Qingwen.

...

Morning.

Su Qingwen carried her treasure bag on her back, held the waist token, and hummed a song as she walked towards the palace gate.

Thinking that she was about to escape from the sea of bitterness and Hua Yueye's clutches, she walked with an air of arrogance.

However, the song she was humming with the waist token in her hand was "The king sent me to patrol the mountains", which weakened her overbearing aura.

When she reached the palace gate.

"Cough, cough." She cleared her throat and pretended to be mysterious as she said to the guards at the palace gate, "His Majesty has sent me out of the palace to purchase some important items. This is His Majesty's waist token!"

The guards at the palace gate looked at each other and asked, "There's nothing the palace doesn't have. What does His Majesty need to buy outside?"

Su Qingwen rolled her eyes, winked at them, and whispered with her hand covering her mouth, "It's that kind of medicine. Well, I can't really say it directly. It's the kind for men!"

Combined with her expression and the ambiguous words, the guards instantly seemed to understand.

Yeah! I passed!

But before Su Qingwen could be happy, she suddenly found herself off the ground.

Two tall and strong guards on either side grabbed her and lifted her up like a chicken. "National Preceptor, His Majesty suddenly remembered that he has something important to discuss with you. Please come with us."

It's over, it's over. I must have been discovered.

Su Qingwen looked at the palace gate that was so close but struggled to no avail. She hung her head dejectedly and was taken back by the two guards.

Su Qingwen was brought back to the front of Hua Yueye's palace. Seeing Hua Yueye standing there calmly, she swallowed hard.

Is it too late for me to write my last will now?

Hua Yueye bent down, squinting his eyes. "I heard you took my waist token and wanted to leave the palace?"

Su Qingwen mumbled like a mosquito, "Yes..."

"I don't remember giving you the waist token."

"This... this..."

"What excuse did you use to try to leave the palace?"

At this, cold sweat broke out on Su Qingwen's forehead. "I... I..."

The left guard added fuel to the fire. "The National Preceptor said she was going out of the palace to buy medicine."

The right guard added vinegar. "And said it was the medicine for men's problems."

Hua Yueye sized up Su Qingwen, as if he was already thinking about how to devour her alive.

Seeing this, Su Qingwen glared at the two guards, silently condemning them!

If looks could kill, the left and right guards would have turned into two plates of sweet - and - sour pork tenderloin. But they were looking one to the east and the other to the west, pretending to be innocent.

Su Qingwen was about to make a run for it when suddenly Hua Yueye grabbed her and pushed her into the palace. After a dizzying moment, Su Qingwen was lying on the bed, completely at his mercy. She was like a fish on a chopping board. A salted fish, to be exact.

"Buy medicine? For men's problems?"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty. They misunderstood. I meant the medicine for longevity!" Su Qingwen wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and defended herself.

"For longevity? Weren't you saying before that castration is good for health? Now you're saying the medicine for men's problems can prolong life. Does that mean that's the secret to longevity?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows.

What this and that? Su Qingwen was completely confused and nodded randomly.

"Then let's try to prolong our lives!"

???

"What—mm—"

She once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, but instead, she was locked in Hua Yueye's palace.

From then on, Guard Left and Guard Right closely monitored Su Qingwen. Su Qingwen didn't even have a chance to escape, let alone get close to the palace gate. If she tried, she would be grabbed back.

Su Qingwen clenched her fists. I'll fight back!

[System: Please face reality. Look, you even have two human - shaped carriers. You don't even need to walk by yourself. Remember to give a good review, dear!]
