Chapter 65 – Volume 2 Prologue
January 1st, 182 A.D. 8PM.
Luo Yang, Imperial Inner Palace.
The Imperial Inner Palace, the place where only the royalties and the emperor's consorts and empress could reside in, was full of guards and armored soldiers. They were patrolling around the perimeters.
Normally, this place would not allow any soldier or guard to step foot inside. However, the emperor made an exception edict for today's occasion because his new favorite consort was about to arrive.
The King Chamber, the most forbidden place in the current land of China, was a hidden room within the inner palace. Emperor Ling lied on a king-sized bed decorated in pure gold. The walls were made of sculptured marble plates in the shape of golden dragons.
This room was a closed room with no window. It was made this way for the emperor's absolute protection. However, in the terms of Feng Shui or oxygen ventilation, it was a horrible place to live in.
Because of the stale air, two beautiful female servants who were wearing skimpy cloths were waving their feature fans at the emperor on the bed. Meanwhile, the round cauldron that contained fragrant incense emitted out incense smoke, covering the entire room to hide away the emperor's nasty bodily smell.
”Your majesty. Consort Wang has arrived.”
”Let her enter.”
The eunuch on the front door announced the arrival of the emperor's new concubine. Once the emperor approved, the eunuch opened the chamber doors to let her inside. After she had entered, the door closed behind her and were locked.
Within the room, only light shone from the candles around the room which were emitting aphoristic smoke.
The concubine Wang's shadow silhouette overlaid on the walls by the angles of light. She was wearing skimpy dancer cloths which revealed her round cleavage and her S-shaped body. Her skin were smooth without mark or a speck of dust. The wavy short golden hair, the blue eyes and her red lips gave out unique charm in the eyes of the emperor.
The girl was called Wang Li. She was a prostitute working in the redlight district in Chang An City for 2 years. Her unique look attracted many nobles and her customers, and then she eventually caught the eyes of the emperor. He immediately bestowed her the title of imperial concubine without caring about her status.
”This worthless consort greets your majesty.” Wang Li kowtowed to the emperor.
”Come, come. Let me look at you.”
The consort stood up and walked to the bed in the middle of the room, then her nose twitched. She almost instinctively pinched her nose. The body smell of the emperor was horrible as if he had not taken a bath for a month.
She took deep breath to calm herself down and regained her faint smile. She glanced the emperor in disgust and returned her eyes into the indifferent eyes in a flash. She stripped her clothes off piece by piece, and let the fat belly man in front of her admired her body.
The emperor drooled. He grabbed her arms and dragged her into his bed as he could not wait anymore.
Just like that, Wang Li was pushed down. The emperor immediately did whatever he wanted with her body.
'Die for me.' Wang Li sent out command in her mind.
[Activating [Die For Me] skill. Please set the target lifespans.]
'Leave him with one week to live.'
[Affirmative. Draining the target's lifespans.]
[Draining completed. Host gains 7 years of lifespans.]
Wang Li clicked her tongue. This fatty has too short life. After using her skill, she only made 2 years of profit from the usage.
'Scan his experience.'
[Scanning.]
[Scanning completed. List of experiences of the target has been generated. Please pick the experience to absorb.]
…
…
The emperor had done his deed and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Wang Li cleaned up herself with water from the water basin the female servants had prepared. Then she dressed up and knocked the door.
”The emperor has fallen asleep. I'm returning to my room.” Wang Li spoke out.
The door was unlocked and opened, revealing an eunuch who had been waiting in front of the room since the beginning of her arrival.
”Thank you for your hard work. Your highness will be proud.”
The eunuch spoke as he allowed her to leave. After she left, he closed the door, and remained in front of the room just in case the emperor wanted to ask for a servant outside.
Wang Li returned to her room, only to find out that a person was waiting for her.
”Good work. How is my retard father?” The man asked.
”He has a week to live, your highness. You will be the new emperor next week.”
The man smiled, then he pulled Wang Li into a hug. Then he whispered her.
”As promised. You will be my empress! But for now, let's dual-cultivate again.”
Wang Li giggled, then she allowed the man in front of her to kiss her neck and her ample chest.
”The Soulmate Quest cooldown has ended. Let's do it again. Buy more skills from the shop, so I can copy it from you.”
”I'm sorry, your highness. All skills in the shop are sold out.”
”Tch. Never mind. Let's do it anyway but don't you dare stealing my skills.”
”Haha, how could I dare? I have no combat skills.”
”Hmph! That's right. You are just my property. Now your turn to do your job!”
”Of course, your highness.”
Wang Li sneaked glances at Liu Ping with her mocking eyes as she rode on the prince.
Unbeknownst to her mocking gaze, Liu Ping played with her body while he was feeling proud of what he had done this year.
'Liu Bian and Liu Xie is dead! No one can stop me from taking the throne! HAHAHAHA.'
