Chapter 380: I Have a Deal

When Ming and Little Blue stopped walking, Ming found himself in front of a bedchamber door.

Ming looked up to see three emerald blue characters written above—Yangxin Palace.

Typically, such names were given to chambers meant for rest.

Considering the location of this palace, Ming was one hundred percent certain.

This palace belonged to none other than the Dragon Empress!

What the heck? How did I end up here? Is this even a place I should be?

Surely if I step into this room with my right foot, my left foot will immediately be crushed by the Dragon Empress’s palm!

“His Majesty awaits Mr. Xu inside. Please enter, Mr. Xu,” Little Blue said respectfully from the doorway.

“…”

Since she had spoken, Ming could only grit his teeth and walk in. Could he just turn around and leave? No way!

Pushing the door open, Ming stepped into the bedchamber. As soon as he entered, a faint floral fragrance tickled his nose.

Behind him, the door slowly closed.

The room was enormous. Just this single room felt to Ming like it was about four hundred square meters.

However, the interior decoration was surprisingly simple. There was merely a table, a chair, a bed, and some tea utensils on the table. That was all. The room was overly empty.

But that bed looked massive!

It reminded Ming of the “hundred-square-meter beds” from those霸道总裁novels he read in his past life! You wouldn’t believe it, but this bed might actually be a hundred square meters! Ming didn’t know what it would feel like to sleep on this bed, but it must be great—rolling around freely.

This giant bed was partially covered by light blue curtains. Through them, Ming could vaguely make out a graceful silhouette lying on the bed.

“Xu Ming pays respects to Your Majesty.” Ming bowed to the woman on the bed.

After hearing Ming’s voice, the silhouette moved slightly, sitting up on the bed. Simultaneously, the curtains surrounding the bed were drawn back.

Before Ming stood a statuesque woman at 180 centimeters tall, clad in a blue gauze nightgown, slowly rising from the bed.

The hem of the Dragon Empress’s gown wasn’t too long, reaching just above her knees, revealing her snow-white, smooth calves proudly. The gauze nightgown draped perfectly over her body, accentuating her exquisite curves.

Her delicate feet faced Ming directly, flawless without a single blemish. Her arches were perfect, her toes plump like grains of rice, each clearly defined.

Sitting up, the Dragon Empress appeared drowsy, exuding a hint of laziness, yet still radiating charm with a touch of cuteness.

A strand of hair fell across her face, curling at her chest.

Ming’s gaze instinctively dropped to the Dragon Empress’s chest, causing him to suck in a sharp breath.

This was a strapless nightgown, revealing a glimpse of whiteness! It was truly breathtaking! And when the Dragon Empress’s gaze met Ming’s, he quickly averted his eyes, afraid of seeing something he shouldn’t.

But then again, she let him into her bedchamber while wearing such attire.

Ming thought either the Dragon Empress lacked common sense or was deliberately teasing him.

The seemingly just-awoken Dragon Empress blinked lightly at Ming.

Naturally sensing the Dragon Empress’s gaze, Ming remained bowed.

He felt as if there was some secret on his person that she was scrutinizing. “You’ve arrived.”

Only after half an incense stick’s time passed did the Dragon Empress finally speak. Ming: “Yes, Your Majesty.”

With a waft of fragrant wind, when Ming looked up, the Dragon Empress was already standing before him.

The Dragon Empress was extremely close to Ming, merely half a meter apart. In fact, her chest nearly touched Ming’s.

Ming observed the Dragon Empress’s face closely and discovered not a single flaw, whether viewed from afar or up close—she was utterly perfect.

Especially her figure—it was simply exaggerated!

Being only half a meter away, her chest was practically touching his, her gown almost bursting at the seams.

Ming recalled a game he played in his past life where the female characters had similar figures.

And hers was all-natural, no technology or enhancements involved.

Not a bit of sagging either!

And her azure eyes were like sapphires, genuinely beautiful.

To put it simply, every male fantasy about a woman’s appearance seemed to converge in the Dragon Empress alone.

No wonder she had occupied the top spot on the Red Beauty List for ten thousand years. In these ten millennia, countless women must have been born, yet only Shixin had dared to challenge the Dragon Empress’s position.

And in Ming’s opinion, the Dragon Empress was more enchanting than Shixin.

Of course, this wasn’t to say there was anything wrong with Tiandao or that Shixin wasn’t as beautiful as the Dragon Empress.

It was just that they represented entirely different styles.

The top ten beauties on the Red Beauty List each had their own unique allure, but the Dragon Empress undoubtedly possessed the best figure among them. Shixin’s ascetic style indeed easily ignited others’ desires to break it! Between the two, Ming felt his preferences leaned more towards the Dragon Empress.

Ming felt somewhat uneasy under the Dragon Empress’s gaze and took two steps back. “I wonder if Your Majesty has any matters to discuss?”

“Sit down,” the Dragon Empress said. “Let’s talk while seated.”

The Dragon Empress didn’t speak aloud but used ventriloquism.

Ming had never seen the Dragon Empress speak verbally.

She sat down at the table herself.

After hesitating briefly, Ming also sat opposite her.

The Dragon Empress gracefully picked up the teacup and began pouring tea for Ming. Seeing this, Ming quickly stood up and held the teacup with both hands.

This wasn’t due to Ming being servile but rather out of diplomatic courtesy.

If the Lord of the Northern Sea, a cultivator at the Ascension Realm, personally pours you tea, and you remain motionless, acting entitled, well, that would certainly make you stand out.

The Dragon Empress observed Ming’s respectful demeanor but said nothing.

Ming placed the teacup reverently on the table, smoothed his robes, and sat down again.

The Dragon Empress didn’t rush. She poured herself a cup of tea, set down the teapot, and lifted the teacup to take a small sip.

Ming didn’t touch the tea before him but waited patiently for the Dragon Empress.

Setting down her teacup, the Dragon Empress said, “I have a deal to propose to Mr. Xu. Would you be interested?”
