I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

"Your Highness..."

"These will serve as Dawn's start-up capital."

Chu He smiled faintly.

The Ninth Princess was stunned. This was a fortune that an ordinary family could not accumulate in several generations, and he really didn't care?

Or does he have other plans?

The Ninth Princess couldn't figure it out, but she was an ambitious person after all, so she wouldn't dwell on these things too much and let the matter go for now.

Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at Chu He intently, saying word by word, "Jiangnan, as long as you don't let me down, I, Qin Ziyan, will definitely not let you down!"

"what--"

Before Chu He could react, Xiao He beside him screamed, which scared the two of them, especially the Ninth Princess. A blush seemed to appear on her face and then disappeared in an instant.

"Xiao He, why are you screaming?" The Ninth Princess cursed guiltily.

"Your Highness..." Xiao He was confused and almost cried out in grievance. Didn't she just see a strange thing and want to share it with everyone? And, Your Highness, did he blush just now?

"Your Highness, Young Master, look at what this is?" Xiao He pointed to a human-shaped jade statue in the pile of gems.

Chu He and the others looked over in surprise. A human-shaped jade sculpture? What was so surprising about that? There were dozens of jade carvings in this pile of jewelry alone.

"Hmm, there's something wrong with this jade statue?!" Chu He said in surprise after pondering for a moment.

Hearing this, Xiao He nodded and said, "Young Master, you are right. When I just held the statue, a surge of heat suddenly emerged from it and instantly swept through my whole body. That's why I couldn't help but scream..."

"I know what this is!" The Ninth Princess suddenly said, but she couldn't help but look surprised. "Xiao He, give me the statue."

Xiao He nodded, then found a shelf, picked it up, and handed it over, "Your Highness, be careful."

The two of them shook their heads secretly. It seemed that Xiao He was indeed frightened just now. For some reason, they smiled at each other.

But the Ninth Princess knew what this was, so she was not as cautious as Xiao He. She just reached out and took it.

The next moment, a stream of scorching heat flowed from the statue through her palm and into her body.

Seeing this, the Ninth Princess immediately recited scriptures. As time passed, her face gradually turned red.

After half a stick of incense.

In the eyes of Chu He and the others, the Ninth Princess at this moment was like a cooked lobster, her whole body was red, and Chu He could also feel a strange heat emanating from her body.

"Hmm? What is this?" Seeing that the Ninth Princess was getting more and more uncomfortable, Chu He was about to take down the jade statue.

Otherwise, if this continues, he feels that the Ninth Princess will be blown up by the energy inside the jade statue!

Just as Chu He was about to take action, the Ninth Princess shook her head at him, signaling him not to interfere.

"Young Master, is Your Highness okay like this?" After a moment, even Xiao He could sense the heat in the Ninth Princess' body.

I have to say that the Ninth Princess is indeed extraordinary. She was able to endure such intense and scorching heat without making a single groan the entire time.

Chu He shook his head and said, "I don't understand. I can only do my best to save His Highness when I find something is wrong."

"Thank you, sir." Xiao He gave Chu He a bitter smile. She secretly blamed herself for letting His Highness get into danger just now. Now, she could only pray that His Highness could hold on.

Just when Chu He couldn't help but take action.

boo——

A strange sound came from inside the jade statue, and Chu He and the others immediately shifted their gaze from the Ninth Princess to the statue.

I saw that the originally jade-like statue began to show a hint of blush, like a shy girl. The blush gradually spread from the head to the feet, just like a vivid girl who had just come out of the bath.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through Chu He's mind. He finally knew what this jade statue was. It was really a surprise.

The Ninth Princess heaved a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes filled with smiles as she spoke, "The 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Diagram', the legendary super-heavenly-level technique, has finally been activated."

"Is it really that??!" Chu He and the others were filled with surprise.

The Xuannv Sect was a great sect with thousands of years of history. Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, during the battle for the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, it chose the wrong side and was destroyed. Daqian confiscated many of the Xuannv Sect's skills and treasures, but the whereabouts of the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Diagram", the immortal skill that had suppressed the Xuannv Sect for thousands of years, was unknown.

Unexpectedly, time flies, and after thousands of years, it was actually obtained by the ninth princess of the Daqian Dynasty. It is truly the cycle of cause and effect.

"Yes." The Ninth Princess nodded heavily. "I just happened to get the activation method from Master. I just tried it and almost gave up."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the Ninth Princess's eyes.

At this point, the Ninth Princess looked at Chu He and said, "Jiangnan, this item is too valuable. I..."

Chu He heard this and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "Your Highness, please don't be polite. This is God's will. We are waiting for the day when Your Highness transforms into the Goddess of the Nine Heavens!"

A smile flashed in Chu He's eyes. It was true that "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Picture" was an immortal practice, but this practice was only suitable for women. If a man practiced it, it would not take long for him to go crazy and explode to death.

The Ninth Princess felt embarrassed when he looked at her, so she turned her head away slightly, her face flushed red. If the female soldiers outside saw this, they would be shocked.

"Xiao He, after activating the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Picture' once, you can comprehend it twice. Try to see if you can comprehend it first." The Ninth Princess thought for a moment and handed the jade statue to Xiao He.

How could Xiao He dare to accept it? She kept waving her hands to push it away. His Highness didn't even try. She was just a maid. Although His Highness always treated her like a sister, she couldn't be so ignorant of the situation.

"Xiao He, you try it first." Chu He watched the two of them giving way to each other and began to persuade them. He knew what the Ninth Princess was thinking. The "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Picture" could only be kept with her, but she treated Xiao He like a sister, so if she had a treasure, she would naturally share it with her.

"This princess is quite kind-hearted, completely different from the time at Locking Immortal Mountain..." Chu He muttered secretly in his heart, but he also knew that he was weak at that time, so it was normal for the Ninth Princess to look down on him.

But it’s different now, he is the number one man in the dawn, and an important official of the future empress of the Daqian Dynasty. Who knows, that position is not impossible!

Xiao He took the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Picture", closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then opened her eyes and shook her head at the two of them. She couldn't sense anything just now, even the warmth she felt at the beginning was gone.

However, her aptitude can only be considered above average, otherwise, she would not be around the same age as the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess has already broken into the early fifth rank, while she is only at the peak of the seventh rank.

Seeing this situation, Chu He and the others felt secretly regretful, but there was nothing they could do.

Afterwards, the Ninth Princess took over the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Picture" and closed her eyes to sense it while watching the two men cheering her on.
