If a person could be killed by one’s angry staring, Xu Que would have been dead a thousand times from the Dowager Countess’s staring. The Dowager Countess, who was normally very calm, was about to burst due to extreme anger.

　　All the cultivators who were in the Secretive Chamber were speechless. It was the

　　first time in their lives that they had ever seen someone so shameless.

　　“No wonder he can become a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. He is almost as shameless as Xu Que.”

　　“He is really a tough figure.”

　　“This young man managed to get into the palace in less than one day.”

　　“By the way, the Dowager Countess is really hot!”

　　“She is not real!”

　　“Even so, that young man can still have sex with her, and it might feel very awesome!”

　　While Xu Que, in fact, did not want to have sex with the Dowager Countess at all, since, after all, Zixia Fairy was standing just outside the door. Xu Que did indeed hunger after women all the time, but even he would not degrade himself to screw a woman who was not real.

　　“I think we should have a good chat about this. How about finding me decent clothes first? I am going to stay here for a day or two, if you don’t mind. Then we have to talk about if I should give you the gun or not!” Xu Que said while patting the Dowager Countess’s shoulder.

　　“Stay here for a day or two?” the Dowager Countess frowned and sneered. “How dare you! You kidnapped the young Princess and you want to stay here?! What if the Monarch Jin knows about all this?”

　　“I don’t care what he is going to think about this!” Suddenly, Xu Que got rather serious and said in a angry tone, “You just sat on my lap. What if the Emperor knows about this? You even grabbed my penis, what if the late Emperor knows about this?!”

　　“You,…” The Dowager Countess was so angry that she found her tongue was twisted.

　　I sat on his lap simply to take his gun away and hand it to the blacksmith to check. So I can build a powerful army. It is you who tricked me and made me grab your…thing!

　　Thinking of this, the Dowager Countess got furious.

　　“Never mind. I know your bottom line, we are all adults and have seen quite a lot. Besides, I am immune to pretty women and am not interested in you at all. I only want to find a safe place to stay for a few days. A few days from now, I will give you the gun, and, if you treat me well, I can give you ten or even 20 guns.” Xu Que said happily.

　　Hearing this, the Dowager Countess was silent. She was even a bit tempted by this idea.

　　As the Dowager Countess, I definitely don’t want the young Princess kidnapped, but he promises that he would give me so many guns.… With one gun, I can kill 10 people; having tens of thousands of them would be tantamount to having an army of 100,000 soldiers.

　　Besides, in the past, to prevent other countries invading us, the Emperor of each dynasty had married his daughter to princes of other countries. So losing a young Princess is not a big deal….

　　“Deal! You can stay here!” The Dowager Countess nodded and stared at Xu Que with her beautiful eyes. “But you have to give me a gun first, in case you break your word!”

　　“Sure! You can have the gun, but not the bullets.”

　　Xu Que smiled while quickly taking out all the bullets. He threw the gun to the Dowager Countess, and she gently and easily caught the gun. She carefully examined the gun and nodded. “You can stay here for a few days. I will make sure that no one will disturb you. But you’d better not walk around. If you are spotted by others, I can’t keep you safe then.”

　　“I like to work with decisive people like you! First, bring me some clothes, not too fancy. A few pieces of plain Chinese imperial dragon robes will do!” Xu Que said with a big smile.

　　Hearing this, the Dowager Countess stopped.

　　A few pieces of plain Chinese imperial dragon robes? Why not go and kill the Emperor?

　　She tried hard to suppress her anger and walked outside. As soon as the Dowager Countess walked away, Zixia Fairy and the young Princess walked in and looked at Xu Que with great surprise. “Brother Hua An…I meant to tell you that the Dowager Countess knows me, but I did not get the chance.” The young Princess lowered her head, as if she had done something bad.

　　“Never mind, we can stay here for a few days. If you two like this place, we can stay here for a longer time.” Xu Que smiled, since he had already known the Dowager Countess’s intentions.

　　As long as I can give her something she wants, she would do anything I ask her to do.

　　After a while, the Dowager Countess came back with some clothes, the most ordinary guards’ clothes. She put them down on the table and looked at the young Princess. “You can stay here for the next few days, but remember don’t walk around. Can you promise me?”

　　“Yes! Thank you, you have always been so kind to me!”

　　The young Princess had no idea what had happened and only thought the Dowager Countess did all this to help her.

　　The Dowager Countess nodded, coldly glanced at Xu Que, and walked away.

　　…

　　In the next few days, the three lived peacefully in the palace, and no one came to disturb them. Every day, the Dowager Countess would bring meals to them herself, and Xu Que was very satisfied about this.

　　One day, he stood alone in the yard and smiled. “I thought the illusion would be very dangerous! Great food, nice house, and, most important, the Dowager Countess looks after me as if she is a maid. It feels like I am having a holiday here! So happy!”

　　Not dangerous? Holiday? So happy?

　　Screw you! My goodness, I am so angry!

　　In the past, anyone who walked into the illusion would suffer a great deal, but everything all changed.…

　　The illusion is supposed to make him suffer, and now he is in control. Kidnapping the young Princess and flirting with the Dowager Countess who brings him three meals every day?

　　“I do envy him!”

　　“I thought being trapped in the Secretive Chamber was much better than suffering in the illusion. Now even I want to get into the illusion and enjoy myself.”

　　“Me too!”

　　“If we get into the illusion and take the route he has walked, can it be possible that we might bump into him?”

　　“I don’t know. But if we meet him, we might be saved!”

　　“By that time, we can also enjoy ourselves!”
