Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Your Majesty, I am not the person you seek.

“Wu Kingdom’s Ming pays respects to Your Majesty.”

Looking at the woman before him, Ming bowed respectfully.

To be honest, Ming had no idea how Tiandao knew his preferences so clearly.

Because in Ming’s opinion, the beauty of this Dragon Empress was on par with Shixin; there was no discernible difference between them. They were just beautiful in different ways.

And somehow, he seemed to prefer the type of the Dragon Empress.

So if forced to choose who was more attractive, according to his aesthetic, he would probably pick this Dragon Empress.

Ming thought it might be the gene within him that had a special fondness for wealthy women? After greeting her, the Dragon Empress didn’t immediately turn her head toward Ming but continued gazing at the sea at a forty-five-degree angle.

Ming followed her gaze but saw nothing there. “What exactly is this empress thinking about?” Ming wondered.

Time passed second by second.

Ming couldn’t repeat himself, so he could only continue waiting.

Though the Dragon Empress was over ten thousand years old, she certainly wasn’t hard of hearing.

Not to mention, she was a cultivator of the Ascension Realm.

From the moment Ming entered this garden, she must have been aware of his presence.

Ming believed she wasn’t deliberately ignoring him or giving him any sort of warning. There was no need for that, and it might even cause diplomatic trouble.

Even though Wu Kingdom was only established three hundred years ago, its strength wasn’t weak. Even the North Sea Dragon Palace couldn’t look down on them.

Moreover, Wu Kingdom and the North Sea Dragon Palace had no conflicts.

Speaking of which, the stunningly beautiful woman before him was already over ten thousand years old.

But for a dragon, living over ten thousand years wasn’t unusual since dragons generally don’t die of old age.

By common knowledge, dragons are said to live for a hundred thousand years.

However, the older they get, especially after surpassing ten thousand years, the more calamities they encounter.

If they survive, they can live longer.

If not, it’s the end of the line.

These calamities aren’t ordinary Thunder Tribulations but various subtle crises.

Thus, very few dragons die of old age.

Most dragons fail to survive one of the major tribulations in their lives, hence their demise.

After these true dragons dissipate into the void, their essence transforms into spiritual energy scattered throughout the world. Then new snakes or dragons evolve, continuing the cycle.

Half an incense stick later, a flicker of awareness crossed the Dragon Empress’s blue eyes, as if waking up.

Ming even wondered if she had fallen asleep and just woke up. The Dragon Empress turned around and looked at Ming.

When Ming met her piercing blue slit-like gaze, he suddenly felt as if his soul was completely exposed!

The pressure was so intense that his spirit trembled.

Cold sweat broke out on Ming’s forehead.

Had Ming not gone through multiple system upgrades, strengthening his resilience, he would’ve knelt right then and there before the Dragon Empress. Ming thought to himself, this must be the dragon’s authority.

Not the imperial kind! But the innate supremacy of a higher life form over a lower one! This was purely bloodline suppression!

Fortunately, Ming was human, not a demon beast, so he had greater resistance against such high-tier bloodline suppression.

Otherwise, even with the system’s enhancements, he would’ve knelt before her instantly.

“Are you Wu Kingdom’s Ming?” The Dragon Empress examined Ming closely, as if searching for something.

Ming nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty. It’s our great honor for Wu Kingdom to receive the invitation from the North Sea Dragon Palace.”

The Dragon Empress nodded approvingly, “Impressive. No wonder you’re on the Azurecloud List. Your sword qi is sharp, your True Qi solid, calm under pressure, and facing my dragon authority, you remain so composed, merely sweating a little. You’re the first.”

Ming replied humbly, “I’m deeply honored.”

The Dragon Empress stood up, placing her hands in front of her, walking step by step toward Ming.

“Raise your head. No need for excessive courtesy,” she stopped five meters away from Ming.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Ming raised his head.

Looking at the Dragon Empress towering at 180cm, Ming felt like she was two meters tall.

“Do you know why I summoned you here?” The Dragon Empress asked.

“I do,” Ming answered.

“Oh?” Ming’s straightforward answer piqued the Dragon Empress’s interest. “Then tell me, why did I summon you?”

Ming truthfully responded without reservation, “Your Majesty summoned me because I might be the reincarnation of the person you seek. That’s why those two came to invite me before. However, I was indeed unavailable at the time. Please forgive me.”

The Dragon Empress stared directly into Ming’s eyes, “You’re refreshingly direct, unlike others who pretend to be clueless.”

Ming calmly stated, “Your Majesty is the Eternal Dragon Empress. Whatever thoughts I harbor cannot escape your detection. Therefore, there’s no point in being clever before you. I’ll speak plainly.”

The Dragon Empress looked at Ming serenely:

“In nearly ten thousand years, many people have come here. Some know why they were called, some don’t.

But once they realize they might be the reincarnation of the person I seek, they all feel a sense of pride.

They think they hide it well, but I can clearly see the excitement in their eyes, the anticipation of ascending to greatness.

But you seem different.”

The Dragon Empress took another step forward, eye-to-eye with Ming. “Do you not care?”

Ming smiled, stepping back, bowing again, “Whether or not I am the person Your Majesty seeks, I am still myself.”

The Dragon Empress blinked, “But what if I told you, if you are the one I seek, not only will I give myself to you, but also the billions of lives in the entire North Sea under your control?”

Ming shook his head again, “Your Majesty is breathtakingly beautiful, rare in the world. The North Sea spans vast territories, home to countless races. To possess both beauty and power is every man’s dream. But my aspirations lie elsewhere.

And I am not the person Your Majesty seeks.”

(Immortal Cultivation+Meeting a Perfect Match+Shura Field+Invincible Flow+Upgrade Flow+Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger) — What is cultivation? When I think back to the past, cultivation was, as a baby, kicking my legs over and over again—kicking on the bed, kicking on the ground, kicking every single day. Cultivation was, as I grew older, swinging my sword again and again—slashing here, cutting there. Cultivation became, as I matured, the repeated harmony of yin and yang—busy tonight, and busy again tomorrow night. … My name is Xu Ming. I have never cared about the stipends given to me by those sect masters, noble ladies, or princesses. I said to her, “Can you give me a room closer to yours? I need to report my work to you at any moment.” Even if I accomplish nothing every day, I just want to watch how she cultivates. I…
