Chapter 878 The Legend of the Dark River 210
During his time here, he has figured everything out.
First of all, some rules are true and some are false, and you have to be careful at all times.
Since my status is low, I have to be careful when I reply to others and know how to refuse rewards appropriately.
Because it was not a mere reward, but a deadly one.
Secondly, questions or instructions given by people of higher status.
If you don't do well, you'll witness their change of heart, and the consequences will be dire.
As for why Xie Qianji knew this, it's because when he first arrived, one of the Mu family members was also a eunuch serving the emperor.
One day, he witnessed firsthand how a member of the Mu family was forced to drink a bowl of porridge bestowed upon them by the Emperor, and the result was...
At that moment, black and red cracks instantly appeared on the man's entire face, as if he had gone mad from practicing martial arts.
The agonizing screams made him a little nervous.
The key point is that the people around him seemed to be blind to him, and everyone's eyes were as indifferent as those of a monster.
After the Mu family member had endured an hour of excruciating pain, his body split open into bloody chunks of flesh.
The most terrifying thing was that the so-called emperor transformed into a monster, his mouth stretching to his ears, and he swallowed the pieces of corpse whole.
He ate with great relish, as if it were a delicious treat, and after finishing, he even stuck out his tongue to lick the bloodstains from the corners of his mouth.
Even though Xie Qianji had seen many bloody scenes before, he was so shocked by what he saw that he felt like vomiting.
But he dared not vomit, because if he made even the slightest noise, everyone would stare at him as if he were food.
It was as if the moment he moved, he would be devoured by all the monsters.
As the recollection ended, Xie Qianji silently wished that Li Chu would escape unscathed.
Inside the hall, Li Chu glanced at the old fat orange man whose face was already showing signs of mutation under the dim light.
Half of his face began to rot, revealing stark white bones and green, decaying flesh, with maggots crawling on it.
This disgusted Li Chu and made her angry.
She had originally planned to brush it off with words, but now she had no choice but to wash her eyes.
"You're already an old fat orange, and you're still trying to be fancy with all the wedding preparations. You even asked me if I liked you. You're covered in maggots. I like you my ass."
Upon hearing this, the fat orange's face, which had been half-transformed, froze abruptly. Because its skin was so taut, the maggots on it couldn't hold on and started to fall off.
He stared at Li Chu in shock, still managing to catch the falling maggots and stuff them into his mouth.
Seeing that Li Chu's fists were even harder, she disgustedly looked away, trying to control the urge to vomit.
As the chubby orange chewed, he thought to himself that, given his current status as emperor, no one would dare to speak to him like that.
Besides, isn't he terrifying to look at? How can anyone be so unafraid to curse at him?
Li Chu ignored him. After recovering, she took out a pair of bacteria-proof gloves and put them on. They were even shimmering with gold.
Then, she casually set up a soundproof barrier.
Next up is the part where we fight the fat orange cat.
The sizzling sound of grilling meat was accompanied by the sounds of punches and kicks.
This was entirely a one-sided performance by Li Chu, with no doubt about it.
Bang-bang-bang
Half an hour later—
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle..."
"Help! Peisheng, come save me! Ahhh!!"
The chubby orange cat hugged its charred bald head, its buttocks sticking out in a pitiful manner, and curled up on the footstool.
Li Chu continued her onslaught: "Are you still going to transform? Are you going to keep doing this disgusting thing??? Speak up!!"
"I'm done, I'm done, I was wrong."
He vowed that once he got through this hurdle, he would immediately write a report, saying that someone here was cheating or bullying people, or rather, that someone was using cheats.
Li Chu stopped hitting him when she was tired, and then chased the old fat orange to the outer room.
She cast a cleansing spell on herself and her bedroom, then went into her spatial dimension to sleep.
It's true that moving around a bit helps me sleep better.
After the hot spring palace, Li Chu finally didn't see Old Fatty Orange again, but she herself became Consort Wan.
She couldn't be bothered dealing with this person every day; he seemed more difficult to deal with than the normal world. Beating him up would definitely be the easiest solution.
However, after only a few days of peace, trouble soon came knocking again.
The main culprit was Consort Hua; they probably came specifically to cause trouble because she had fallen out of favor.
Early in the morning, Li Chu returned from paying her respects at Jingren Palace. While she was still having breakfast, Consort Hua sent Zhou Ninghai to invite her to Yikun Palace.
Rule number thirteen states that she cannot go to Yikun Palace.
Rule number eight: When being harassed by Consort Hua, you may shout "Si Lang!"
She confirmed the first point was true, and she also confirmed the second point was true after interrogating the fat orange cat that night.
However, you can only shout it three times in total.
Three times is more than enough; if that doesn't work, you can do it yourself.
"Consort Wan, Her Majesty is still waiting. Please go as soon as possible."
Just like her mistress, Consort Hua, Zhou Ninghai fears no one except the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
He seemed oblivious to social cues, and started nagging as soon as he saw her still eating.
"Eunuch Zhou, our young master hasn't finished his breakfast yet, there's no rush, is there?" Liu Zhu looked dissatisfied but dared not speak.
"This servant is not in a hurry, but it is not something we can afford to keep Consort Hua waiting."
He was talking about them, but out of the corner of his eye, he was looking at Li Chu.
This lackey is incredibly arrogant.
Li Chu remained still and silent, focusing solely on eating her breakfast.
"This..." Liu Zhu didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Ninghai narrowed his eyes: "Consort Wan, are you trying to offend our Empress?"
Seeing this, Liu Zhu hesitated and called out, "Young Master?"
Li Chu still ignored them and left them hanging.
Mu Qingyang stood outside the hall with her head down, inwardly exclaiming in admiration, "Miss Li Chu is a heroine among women!"
As far as he knew, this Consort Hua was a favored concubine, and they were currently in a world governed by rules.
These people aren't normal; she actually dared to stand up to them.
Seeing that Consort Wan was ignoring him, Zhou Ninghai was unsure why he should go back, knowing he would be scolded if he did.
After Li Chu finished his breakfast at a leisurely pace, he looked outside the hall and called out, "Fourth Brother."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the chubby orange figure appeared outside the gate of Suiyu Pavilion, arriving faster than if he had flown out of the gate.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door quickly bowed upon seeing the person.
"I've come to see Consort Wan. Zhou Ninghai? Aren't you Consort Hua's person? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Ninghai panicked for a moment, then realized that he was Hua Fei's man and was safe.
"Your Majesty, it was Her Highness who sent me to invite Consort Wan to Yikun Palace."
Everyone knelt down to pay their respects, so no one noticed the expression on Big Fat Orange's face, which suggested he didn't want to come in.
The moment he saw Li Chu, he felt a pain in his bones.
