Great Joy Bright Chant?
Just hearing the name, Liang Zhu already liked it quite a lot.
Liang Zhu immediately chose to learn this cultivation technique.
【System Prompt】Congratulations, host! You have learned the “Great Joy Bright Chant”!
【System Prompt】The thirty-six cultivation techniques have been learned by default! This technique takes humanity as its foundation, highlights human nature, and can lead directly to the Heavenly Dao! Host, cultivate diligently!
Liang Zhu was so delighted that he could not stop grinning.
Within Liang Zhu’s mind, a statue of a deity stood proudly and solemnly!
This was the Earth deity formed by two beings as one.
The Male God’s gaze was wildly arrogant and imposing, while the Goddess had a delicate, captivating figure and was gently “hanging” onto the Male God.
Holy Light, auspicious clouds, and colorful clouds swirled around the deities, along with a lotus platform.
The deities’ poses shifted as they demonstrated thirty-six cultivation techniques for Liang Zhu!
Liang Zhu was delighted.
With this cultivation technique, the speed at which he cultivated his own “Spring Sleep Unaware of Dawn” could increase tenfold!
Liang Zhu was foolishly enjoying himself, unaware that the Imperial Palace had already erupted into chaos.
By the time Long Baitian walked toward Liang Zhu, a guard had already reported it to the Empress.
The Empress instructed them to keep a close watch and ensure that Little Pillar was not harmed.
Right afterward, the guard reported that Long Baitian had fallen—and had fallen three times in succession!
The Empress blinked her beautiful big eyes, thinking she must have misheard.
Later, the guard reported that Long Baitian had fled! Before leaving, he had even bowed and saluted the palace maids and eunuchs!
The Empress was bewildered.
What was this supposed to mean?
Why had Long Baitian fled so dejectedly, yet still saluted?
After remaining silent for a moment, the Empress said toward the left side of the main hall, “Eunuch Wei, what do you make of this?”
Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace Wei Jiuxian slowly emerged from the shadows on the left.
Wei Jiuxian’s hair was mostly white and his face thin and gaunt. He was the greatest master in the Imperial Palace.
When the old emperor was alive, he often sighed that if Wei Jiuxian had not entered the palace and become an eunuch, he might have had hope of breaking through the limits of the titled martial saint and reaching the Demigod Realm.
In other words, Wei Jiuxian had reached the titled martial saint Realm long ago. It was only because of his physical disability that he could no longer break through.
Wei Jiuxian was loyal and devoted. He had treated the Imperial Palace as his home for a lifetime, and regarded the Empress and Princess as his loved ones.
It was precisely because Wei Jiuxian was there that Long Baitian did not dare to act too recklessly.
Otherwise, how could Little Pillar’s roar that night have frightened Long Baitian? ŴŴŴ.
Wei Jiuxian said in his shrill voice, “Your Majesty, I did not sense any battle qi outside.”
The Empress frowned, feeling puzzled.
Without battle qi, it meant that the palace maids and eunuchs outside were merely a group of ordinary people.
Long Baitian could not possibly have been frightened away by a group of ordinary people.
There had to be something suspicious about this.
The Empress was about to ask more, but Wei Jiuxian had already reached a conclusion: “In this old servant’s opinion, Long Baitian is deliberately putting on an act and playing tricks, making us think his cultivation has greatly declined.”
Xiao Yanran nodded, tacitly accepting Wei Jiuxian’s explanation.
With her hands behind her back, the Empress slowly walked to the palace entrance.
Not far away, the palace maids and eunuchs were whispering among themselves.
Meanwhile, Liang Zhu wore a lascivious, foolish grin and had no idea what he was so happy about.
Seeing this guy reminded the Empress of the scene in her dream where he had tormented her, and her complexion involuntarily flushed.
Hmph, she was laboring over state affairs, while this guy was having the time of his life!
The Empress turned and walked toward the imperial bedchamber, saying to Xiao Meiyue at the same time, “Have Little Pillar come to the imperial bedchamber!”
Xiao Meiyue cheerfully nodded in agreement.
After trotting over to the palace maids and eunuchs, Xiao Meiyue coughed once and said with utmost elegance, “Little Pillar, come with me!”
Liang Zhu hurriedly followed.
The two walked toward the imperial bedchamber, one in front of the other.
As soon as they reached an empty corner, Xiao Meiyue’s elegant appearance changed.
Xiao Meiyue hugged Liang Zhu’s arm and said in a sweet, cloying voice, “Little Pillar, Her Majesty seems to value you greatly. Once you rise in the world, don’t forget how Sister Meiyue helped you!”
Liang Zhu felt as though his arm had touched something. He looked down and could not help shouting, “Holy crap!”
As the saying goes, towering islands and magnificent waves.
Sister Meiyue truly had a broad chest.
Now that Liang Zhu’s strength had increased, his physique had become stronger as well.
With Xiao Meiyue pressing so close to him, Liang Zhu nearly let his thoughts run wild at once.
However, this was the Imperial Palace—and it was broad daylight!
Liang Zhu hurriedly inhaled, focused his mind, and controlled himself, forcibly suppressing the wicked fire within him.
Although control was a virtue for a man, Liang Zhu was still holding himself back until his face flushed red.
“Oh my, why are you being shy with your sister?”
Seeing Liang Zhu’s embarrassed appearance, Xiao Meiyue became even happier.
The beautiful Palace Lady Official in her twenties was practically pressed against Liang Zhu’s chest.
“Hey, Little Pillar,” Xiao Meiyue said in a low voice. “How about I come to your place tonight for drinks and a chat?”
Liang Zhu screamed, “No! Whatever you do, don’t come!”
Xiao Meiyue said somewhat unhappily, “Why not?”
“Sigh, don’t mention it!” Liang Zhu put on a depressed expression. “That female guard, Chuchu, whom you beat up last time, was rewarded to me by the Princess.”
Xiao Meiyue said in astonishment, “Rewarded to you? But you are a slave too…”
Liang Zhu could understand Xiao Meiyue’s surprise.
Everyone in the Imperial Palace served the Imperial Clan, so neither Xiao Meiyue nor the other female officials had maidservants or palace maids of their own.
Only a few elderly chief eunuchs had little eunuchs assigned to care for them.
For a guy like Liang Zhu, who had only just been promoted from a menial eunuch, to possess his own small courtyard and maidservant was truly outrageous.
Xiao Meiyue would certainly never guess the Princess’s true intentions.
As a Palace Lady Official, Xiao Meiyue instead wondered: Could there be some deeper meaning behind this?
Was the Princess rewarding her own guard to Little Pillar in order to monitor him?
Very soon, Xiao Meiyue rejected her own theory: No! Little Pillar was currently favored, so this should be the Princess protecting him.
It seemed that Her Majesty was very concerned about Little Pillar’s safety!
At this thought, Xiao Meiyue revealed a flattering smile. “Little Pillar, from now on, I’ll be relying entirely on your recommendations for promotion.”
Liang Zhu looked smug.
The two arrived at the Empress’s imperial bedchamber, where they saw that the Empress had just changed out of her heavy, splendid court robes and emerged wearing an extremely plain white long dress.
Yet beneath the white long dress was a fiery-red traditional chinese bodice-shaped breast covering, adorned with an extravagant golden-thread design of a red phoenix facing the sun.
Liang Zhu stole a glance and quickly estimated the size.
Thirty-five B. It could not be any larger.
To be honest, a B cup was genuinely a little embarrassing; it could not be considered large.
Xiao Meiyue was a C, the Princess was a D, while Her Majesty the Empress was only a B overall. Should she not feel ashamed?
Liang Zhu declared that he would properly help her develop.
Perhaps with some effort, she could advance toward E, F, or G.
Just as Liang Zhu was lost in wild thoughts, the Empress said with a half-smile, “Little Pillar, you are incredibly bold!”
