Origin System, I have a barren mountain

At this moment, Lord Liu suddenly sensed something and looked to his side in surprise, only to see a dead Lord Cheng looking at him with a strange expression.

"What's wrong, Lord Liu? We've only been apart for a few days, why do you seem to not recognize me?"

Cheng Yunmo originally intended to speak in a joking tone, but for some reason, his eyes couldn't help but redden slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Lord Cheng and say.

Lord Liu looked Lord Cheng up and down carefully, never expecting to see a lively and energetic Lord Cheng.

Seeing her healthy appearance now, and thinking about the immense suffering she endured before her death, there is still little joy on her face.

Cheng Yunmo originally thought that Lord Liu would be very happy, but she saw that he was looking at her carefully, but he still did not look happy. Instead, he looked at her with a sad look in his eyes.

Lord Liu had never acted like this before, which made her feel somewhat flustered.

"Lord Cheng, how are you now?"

It was only then that Cheng Yunmo realized that even though Lord Liu could see himself alive and kicking now, he still felt that he had suffered a great deal of pain.

Cheng Yunmo was actually reluctant to say it, but when facing death, she was still terrified.

It felt the same as when I died for the first time.

She felt that even after becoming a dead person, she still wouldn't have much ability.

This life was so easily lost again, and now Lord Liu is asking with such concern.

Cheng Yunmo couldn't help but shed tears, but the matter was over and she didn't want to bring it up again.

The Empress Dowager seemed to suddenly notice Cheng Yunmo, her face showing some panic, and she abruptly stood up from her seat.

I've never had this illusion before—that someone could have been standing here for ages before I even noticed their presence.

"Cheng Yunmo! What tricks did you use? Why have you been here for so long? Weren't you dead?"

The Empress Dowager said with a somewhat frightened expression.

It was only then that Cheng Yunmo realized something: she had thought the Empress Dowager was pretending not to see her.

It turns out that no one had noticed anything, and she didn't know what was going on either.

But that's not important right now. What's important is that she's a little curious about why the Empress Dowager was so terrified when she saw that she was still alive.

What is there to be afraid of? After all, in an era like Xu Kingdom where many talented people emerge, how could anyone find his resurrection strange?

It was at this moment that Lord Liu noticed something was wrong with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager realized that her panicked expression was completely inappropriate and could easily arouse suspicion.

The Empress Dowager immediately returned to her seat and tried to calm herself down, but everyone present was a smart person.

"Empress Dowager, you are a very strange person. I have never been your enemy."

Cheng Yunmo stood there and did not bow to the Empress Dowager.

She was prepared to ask the Empress Dowager in front of everyone what she really wanted to do.

"You seem to enjoy helping the Emperor so much, are you planning to side with me, the Empress Dowager?"

The Empress Dowager didn't believe it. She thought it was possible if it was Lord Liu, but she felt it was completely impossible if it was this woman.

Cheng Yunmo couldn't help but laugh. "I think you're a strange person, Empress Dowager. The Emperor is your own son. It's one thing if you don't care about him, but why would you want to harm him for no reason?"

As he said this, Cheng Yunmo glanced around.

"Looking at the buildings around you, the food here, and your outfit, it all makes you seem like you came from the modern world?"

The Empress Dowager's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. What she had been suspecting was actually the spirit of the desolate mountain, which was itself a creature born from the desolate mountain.

Unexpectedly, the other party directly pointed out modern matters without any hesitation. Could it be that this desolate mountain spirit came from modern times?

"You all go down first. I have something to say to Huangshanling."

Lord Liu was somewhat worried that Lord Cheng might be in some danger.

Lord Cheng seemed to know what he was thinking, and glanced at him sideways, indicating that he shouldn't worry.

After everyone had left, the Empress Dowager looked the desolate mountain spirit up and down, and tentatively asked, "Do you know me?"

Cheng Yunmo was taken aback, wondering why the Empress Dowager would have such a question. Unless it was in modern times, the Empress Dowager was a very famous person, but Cheng Yunmo felt a little disappointed.

She had absolutely no recollection of what the Empress Dowager looked like.

The Empress Dowager was no simple person; she immediately noticed that this Huangshan Ling acted as if she didn't recognize her at all.

That's good, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems you didn't have a very good life in the modern world, and you don't even know me. So why do you think that just because we're both from the modern world, I'll be afraid of you?"

Cheng Yunmo was not angry at all after hearing what the Empress Dowager said.

"That's right, and I died a violent death."

The Empress Dowager understood, and when she looked at her again, her eyes were filled with disdain.

"So I don't know what makes you so presumptuous in front of me. I can kill you once and I can kill you twice. Do you think I'll never be able to do anything to you?"

Cheng Yunmo looked at the Empress Dowager, who spoke of killing with such nonchalance.

“Empress Dowager, if we are both modern people, then that means there is a male and female protagonist in this world. I have heard about your status as Empress Dowager from childhood to now. I have also heard about those things when the Emperor Emeritus was in power.”

The matter that Cheng Yunmo suddenly brought up finally made the Empress Dowager's eyes flash with a murderous intent.

"It seems you do have some connections, guessing that the Emperor is the next leading man." The Empress Dowager's eyes turned slightly cold as she looked at Cheng Yunmo's neck.

Cheng Yunmo seemed oblivious and continued, "The female lead has been imprisoned by you, Empress Dowager. I think you're quite capable, but I wonder if you know that if you don't release the female lead soon, the next female lead might be beyond your control."

"What female lead! I don't know."

The Empress Dowager did not admit it, but stared coldly at Cheng Yunmo and said.

"Tsk tsk, Empress Dowager, you know perfectly well whether you're in the right or wrong. If the Xu Kingdom were to fall, would you still have the life you have now?"

The Empress Dowager did not want to release the person, and she is doing very well now.

After all, she was the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor was a dutiful son, so she did live a very comfortable life.

If the female lead were to be released, would her life still be as good as it is now?

"Your Majesty, although I don't know what my status is in the world of Xu Kingdom, the fact that I'm standing here means I must be some minor figure. If you're not satisfied with me, and someone else takes my place, do you think someone of my status might inexplicably know more?"
