His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

"Your Excellency is truly insidious," Xu Bing said with an expressionless face.

"Hmph." Seeing that his scheme had failed, Ji Yuan's expression turned extremely ugly. "Likewise."

In Ji Yuan's eyes, Xu Bing was a cunning old fox who kept his true intentions hidden.

Even she was fooled.

"Xu Bing, you do have some tricks up your sleeve, which are indeed beyond my expectations, but how do you plan to resolve this situation?" Ji Yuan asked with a provocative expression.

It's not that she's tactless.

Rather, it's because she has her own pride.

Even if it was due to carelessness that I made a mistake, I would not easily beg for mercy or bow down to the thief.

Emperors do not make mistakes.

“解？”

Xu Bing smiled. "Why should I solve it?"

Xu Bing uttered a sentence that made Ji Yuan's eyes widen instantly: "You don't think... I'm in cahoots with those traitors, do you?"

"me…"

"They'd rather they were dead than you do."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's pupils constricted, and he vaguely sensed that things had completely slipped out of his control, and the initiative had fallen into Xu Bing's hands.

Xu Bing added, "I must thank Your Majesty for making advance arrangements and wiping them out in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, I'll have a real headache."

Ji Yuan frowned, a hint of anxiety in her voice, "Xu Bing, what do you mean by that?"

"What happens next," Xu Bing said, sliding his finger through the air, "is probably not His Majesty's concern for the time being."

His thoughts merged with the golden rope, which he skillfully controlled.

Knowing that this woman was a martial arts expert, he had to be more cautious.

"Xu Bing! How dare you treat me like this?!"

"I am the Emperor of the Great Xi!"

"Damn it! You scoundrel..."

Realizing that she was getting further and further away from "freedom," Ji Yuan shouted in a mix of exasperation and anxiety.

His face was almost purple with anger.

Under the pull of the golden rope, the bindings on Ji Yuan's arms became increasingly tight, not only binding his wrists but also his elbows, leaving no room for ambiguity.

In addition, Ji Yuan's long, slender legs were transformed into a cross-legged sitting posture, with strong golden ropes wrapped around them and firmly securing them.

No matter how much Ji Yuan struggled, she could only remain in a cross-legged sitting position, unable to move. No matter how hard she tried with her waist and abdomen, she absolutely could not stand up.

Watching herself lose her freedom in such a wretched state filled Ji Yuan with fury. She gritted her teeth; how could she, the dignified Empress of the Great Xi Dynasty, be confined like this?

This is a tremendous humiliation!

"Xu Bing!"

Ji Yuan gritted his teeth.

She completely lost the ability to resist, and even moving was difficult.

This is not over yet.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Bing carried her to a bed in a bedroom at the back of the Jingxin Hall. She was facing the wall, with her back to the door.

Her slender figure is the stuff of imagination.

Then, Xu Bing looked around and found an apple, which he used to wedge his jaws together. He then tore off a piece of black curtain and wrapped it around her eyes.

The Golden Rope is a magical artifact. Although it is not of high quality, it has its own characteristics. It can seal power and lock energy, leaving the Empress unable to use her strength, complaining endlessly, with no chance of breaking free.

After doing all this.

Xu Bingcai breathed a sigh of relief.

We've finally managed to deal with this dangerous woman.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he was soaked in cold sweat. He was certain that Ji Yuan was the most dangerous woman he had ever encountered in both his lives.

none of them.

If it weren't for good luck, I wouldn't have gotten a reinforcement ticket from signing in.

Xu Bing didn't know how to play.

"Woo——"

Ji Yuan let out a mournful cry of resentment.

Xu Bing's actions made her tremble with anger and feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.

I'm almost going crazy.

Even if Xu Bing died ten thousand times, was torn apart by five horses, or was subjected to slow slicing... it would still be difficult to atone for his injuries!

Her chest heaved; she was truly furious this time.

But ironically, this once-arrogant Empress Da Xi was now blindfolded, facing the wall, and unable to do anything.

One wrong step and you lose everything.

I am filled with resentment and helplessness.

Xu Bing nodded secretly, admiring his masterpiece. Only after confirming that everything was perfect did he leave satisfied.

Before leaving, he blew out the candles in the bedroom.

In the darkness, Ji Yuan was left all alone.

Walking in the Hall of Tranquility.

Xu Bing's expression gradually turned cold.

Undeniably, Ji Yuan was indeed a rare beauty, but this beauty became his stumbling block.

It would be detrimental to her if she continued to claim the title of empress!

The problem is that Ji Yuan is destined to be an emperor and is imbued with the aura of a dragon, which means that she is the only one in her lineage and has no brothers or sisters.

It can be said that she possessed all the dragon energy of the Great Xi Dynasty, so no matter how hard the late emperor tried, he could not have another son.

Ji Yuan now has no children.

distressed.

If given a choice, Xu Bing would definitely install someone else as emperor, while he himself would serve as the national advisor, thus pulling the terminally ill Da Xi dynasty back on track.

pity…

A hellish start.

"They kidnapped the Empress at the start, how is the Imperial Advisor supposed to proceed?" Xu Bing had a terrible headache and rubbed his throbbing temples.

【Ding! 】

For a nation's ruler, destiny and fortune are of paramount importance.

[As the ruler, Ji Yuan possesses a destiny and fortune rarely seen throughout history. If the Great Xi Dynasty wishes to rise to higher positions in the future, the ruler's imperial destiny must be strong enough, and his dragon aura must be abundant.]

[As the host is the imperial advisor, you may attempt to control or conquer him.]

The system voice sounded.

Xu Bing's eyes flickered uncertainly.

To control or to conquer? We'll see.

……

Having dealt with Ji Yuan, Xu Bing finally had a moment to catch his breath.

Xu Bing needs to do something to protect himself.

His gaze was fixed on the "Mastery of Creation Technique" and the "Ultimate Mortal Fruit".

Both require time to digest.

It was only just past midnight.

Looking out the window at the bright full moon in the sky, Xu Bing felt a mix of emotions. The moonlight shone on him, making the vast hall seem very cold and desolate.

He walked up to a bronze mirror.

The person in the mirror was dressed in a magnificent imperial advisor's robe, but his figure was bloated and his face was pale. Years of drinking and debauchery had emptied his body.

You can vaguely see that he looks about 70% like himself from his previous life in his brows.

According to his predecessor's memories, there was a reason for his obesity. Because he lacked talent but was too eager for quick success, he prematurely practiced the Qi cultivation techniques, which damaged his immortal roots and disrupted his five elements.

After that, he gradually gained weight...

No wonder her charm value is only 47.

Xu Bing silently complained, his eyes gradually changing. He wanted to cultivate his skills, lose weight, and practice martial arts!

He had a thought in his mind.

A golden fruit appeared out of thin air in his hand; its patterns were beautiful and possessed an indescribable charm.

The Ultimate Mortal Fruit, once consumed, grants one a perfect mortal body.

Xu Bing had studied martial arts on a sacred mountain. Unlike the novels of his previous life, in this world, the stronger one is, the more rules there are, and one will be subject to all sorts of constraints.

The country is divided into immortal kingdoms and mortal kingdoms, and there is also the concept of destiny.

The ruler of any country must not practice cultivation or seek immortality. Once he breaks this precept, natural disasters and man-made calamities will surely befall him, and the five calamities of heaven and man will surely befall him.

As for the Immortal Kingdom... Xu Bing had no contact with it and was unaware of its existence.

Some powerful mortal nations, with their strong national strength and prosperous fortune, allow a few Qi Refiners to appear in their courts, but they cannot be too strong, much less directly affect the course of the nation's fortune.

They typically hold positions such as Imperial Advisor. Apart from this, any other Qi cultivator who interferes in court affairs will face severe consequences!

Because cultivators of Qi have many methods, they can easily change the status quo of a country and break the balance between immortals and mortals.

If left unchecked, the world will inevitably descend into chaos, and the common people will suffer greatly.

In response to this situation.

As a result, all sorts of rules were established, such as that cultivators were not allowed to interfere in the politics of mortal kingdoms, and were not allowed to kill officials in the court, etc.

In addition, there are various other concepts such as luck and feng shui, which also impose restrictions. Those who cultivate qi and seek the Great Dao must pay attention to these things.

It seems.

Humans are weak and insignificant.

Yet it is the most unrestrained being in the world.

故…

mortal.

There are no taboos.

And what kind of existence would a perfect mortal be?

Xu Bing felt a surge of excitement and swallowed the ultimate mortal fruit in one gulp.
