Chapter 172
Zhao Mu almost agreed to it.
However, on second thought, Zhao Mu felt that something was amiss.
I'll give you a chance, but you have to help me do something first …
Such words … Why did it feel like he was being taken for a fool?
If it wasn't for the fact that the empress's impression of him had increased, Zhao Mu would have thought that he was a fool.
However, when he thought about the empress's style of doing things and her decisive character, she probably meant what she said when she said she would give him a chance.
Seeing that Zhao Mu hesitated for a while, the empress frowned and said, "Forget it. Since you're not sincere, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Don't say that."
Zhao Mu wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip away. He hurriedly said, "My sincerity to the empress can be seen by the sun and moon. It's just that … it's just that I'm traumatized by my promises to women."
As Zhao Mu spoke, he revealed a melancholy expression, showing the feeling of a good man who had been cheated and no longer believed in true love.
The empress was indeed intimidated. After thinking for a while, she realized where the problem was.
She knew how Zhao Mu had joined the Saint Prime Devil Sect.
"Are you referring to Chu Jiaoran?"
As the empress, she naturally had a photographic memory. She simply looked up Zhao Mu's information and thought of that vixen from the outer sect.
Before Zhao Mu made a name for himself, he had been controlled by that vixen for nearly a year.
Could it be that she was the one who had traumatized Zhao Mu?
When the empress mentioned Chu Jiaoran's name, Zhao Mu knew that victory was already in his hands.
He continued to emit the aura of a melancholy handsome man and told the empress about the unfair treatment he had suffered at the hands of Chu Jiaoran. Anyway, it was all true. At least he would add some details so that the empress wouldn't know whether it was true or not.
Anyway, Chu Jiaoran had already left the Saint Prime Devil Sect. He wasn't afraid that the empress would bring up the past when she returned.
In short, Zhao Mu created the image of a victim who was afraid of women and had sealed his heart to win the empress's sympathy.
Ordinary methods wouldn't work on a 3000 year old female tribulation expert like Empress Qing Yun.
No matter how much he took the initiative to pursue her, he was not in a hurry. It was better for her to be soft-hearted for a moment.
Although the Empress was powerful, powerful, and experienced, according to Zhao Mu's understanding, she should not have had any intimate contact with a man of the opposite sex in her life. Usually, when she was in the Saint Prime Devil Sect, she always stayed in the palace, either in seclusion or in cultivation.
Now that Zhao Mu had interacted with her day and night, their feelings for each other had gradually improved. With his ability, it wouldn't be a problem for him to trick her into giving up.
After all, since ancient times, no one cared about his hospitality. Only tricks could win people's hearts.
Empress Qing Yun's expression became extremely subtle as she spoke.
The way she looked at Zhao Mu changed from puzzlement to heartache. Her standpoint had quietly changed.
After a long period of silence, Empress Qing Yun said, "This Chu Jiaoran is truly abominable. I can hardly absolve myself from the blame for the Devil Sect accepting such a disciple … Just now, I misunderstood you. Please don't take it to heart. However, I still have some questions. Why did you secretly take advantage of me when I was asleep that day?"
Empress Qing Yun finally said these words in front of everyone.
If it was before, this sentence would be equivalent to giving Zhao Mu a death sentence.
Violating the empress was an absolutely unforgivable crime.
If she didn't mention this matter, Zhao Mu would only be scared witless, fearing that the sentence would suddenly come.
However, since she exposed him, it meant that the empress had opened her heart.
This was Zhao Mu's ultimate goal.
Only by breaking through the empress's defenses would he be able to attack her heart.
"Because I have admired the empress for a long time, but I know clearly that it's impossible between us. However, I'm not willing to give up, so even if I have to secretly hide this beautiful memory in my heart, I don't want to do nothing and miss it forever."
At this point, Zhao Mu turned around, leaving only his back view for the empress.
Next, it was time to wait for the results.
Even though Zhao Mu was 80% sure that he could win, his understanding of the empress was still too little. Whether he could succeed or not was still unknown.
"You … sit down."
Done!
The corners of Zhao Mu's mouth curled up slightly, but returned to normal in an instant. He silently turned around and sat back down, using his clear and bright eyes to look at the empress, waiting to receive the results.
"I apologize for my previous rude request. I shouldn't have used your sincerity to blackmail you. My understanding of love is too shallow. I'm also glad that you were able to explain your feelings to me just now. Otherwise, what difference would my actions be from Chu Jiaoran's?"
"I've never cared about matters of love. In the past, I've always placed cultivation as my top priority. I once thought that this state would continue and never change."
"However, ever since the Devil's Sect fell into the hands of others, I reflected on myself every day and gradually realized that as the leader of a sect, I can't be a cold weapon. In the past, I treated all the disciples of the Devil's Sect equally and never empathized with their inner thoughts. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the internal strife in the Devil's Sect. Perhaps it's time for some changes."
At this point, the empress suddenly took the initiative to hold Zhao Mu's hand.
"Zhao Mu, in the name of the Devil's Sect's empress, I want you to be the prince of the Devil's Sect. I want you to teach me about love in this world. Are you willing?"
Ah, this …
Zhao Mu was really confused.
According to his plan, he would first take a small step before progressing step by step. He would then use three to five years to completely conquer the empress.
However, the empress's attitude was even more straightforward. She actually wanted to achieve it in one step!
Could it be that her favorability had suddenly increased?
Zhao Mu immediately checked the system and found that the empress's favorability had only increased to 75, which was far from the level of success.
Why was this so?
After thinking carefully, Zhao Mu suddenly understood.
To an ordinary woman, 75 favorability wasn't considered high.
However, to the empress who had been single for 3,000 years, Zhao Mu's favorability was definitely at the ceiling level among the heterosexual men she knew.
In addition, the empress had a very decisive personality, so this scene wasn't too surprising.
Does this count as me picking up a bargain?
Zhao Mu nodded his head, "Zhao Mu!"
As he spoke, Zhao Mu bent forward to give the empress a big hug.
He had to wait for this day.
However, something unexpected happened. Just as Zhao Mu's chest touched the empress's soft ribs, a powerful force rushed toward Zhao Mu's head.
Zhao Mu was sent flying and smashed heavily into the wall. Even the array formation barrier was almost loosened from the impact.
Zhao Mu, Zhao to Zhao to Zhao to
Who am? Where am I?
"Are you okay?"
Empress's Zhao, Zhao Zhao to Zhao to '' Zhao Zhao to get up
Only then did Zhao Mu regain her senses. She looked at the empress in a daze and asked, "You … have recovered your strength?"
