"Who are you? You woke me up and took off my mask?”Queen Jingjue opened her mouth and asked Xiang Chu with her voice that was like an orchid in the empty valley.
Xiang Qian gulped and said carefully,""Erm, it's a misunderstanding. I'm just looking. Hehe, I don't mean anything else.”
Xiang Qian was really afraid that the Queen of Exquisite would suddenly go berserk. If they were to fight on the Kunlun Divine Wood and accidentally shatter the platform and fall into the abyss, Xiang Qian would not even be able to find a place to cry.
"What time is it now? Why are you dressed so strangely? You're not from the Western Regions? Who was the current queen of Jingjue Country?”Queen of Exquisite asked Xiang Qian a bunch of questions.
Seeing that the Queen of Exquisite had no intention of attacking him, Xiang Qian relaxed. At the same time, he waved his hand behind him to stop Old Hu, Fatty, and Yang Xueli who were about to come forward to help.
Xiang Qian introduced the situation of the outside world to the Queen of Exquisite Arts, and the Queen of Exquisite Arts sighed after listening.
"I didn't expect that after more than 2,000 years, the Jingjue Ancient Country would also be gone.”
Queen Jingjue sighed and continued,""What are you doing here? Robbing my grave?"
"No, no, no. We are archaeologists, not grave robbers. The meaning of archaeology is to study ancient things based on ancient ruins, relics, and documents. From there, we can excavate and protect them so that they can see the light of day again.”Xiang Qian hurriedly explained.
"You mean, you're here to let my tomb see the light of day again?”Queen Jing Jue's expression became stern, and her tone began to become unfriendly as she asked.
"No, how can I? We heard that someone discovered your ancient tomb and wanted to rob it. So we're here to stop them and repair and protect your ancient tomb. Yes, that's it.”
As Xiang Qian spoke, he began to believe his own words.
"Hehe, since when did the gold-looting officer stop robbing tombs and start to protect ancient tombs? You don't have to lie to me. I know you're a gold-touching officer. I saw the gold-touching talisman hanging around your neck.”Queen Jingjue suddenly put away her stern expression and smiled like a kitten. She tilted her head and said to Xiang Qian.
Xiang Qian looked at the beautiful and cute Queen of Exquisite in front of him and wanted to say loudly to her," Please stop smiling at me with your head tilted! Your tilted head smile is too criminal!"
Xiang Qian knew that he seemed to have fallen for Queen Jingjue. This feeling was similar to the feeling he had in his previous life when he first saw Teacher Cang and Teacher Zuo. He wanted to take her for himself.
"Since you already know, tell me, what do you want? If we really fight, we might not be your match.”Xiang Qian suppressed the excitement in his heart and tightened his grip on the God-Slaying Halberd and Demon-Killing Spear in his hands.
"You guys seem to be afraid of me? Am I that scary?" Queen Jingjue ignored Xiang Qian. Instead, she changed to a more comfortable position and leaned against the coffin.
"This is very normal. Legend has it that you are very cruel. You harmed the affiliated kingdoms around Jingjue Ancient Country, oppressed them, enslaved them, and made them pay you gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures to satisfy your enjoyment.”Xiang Qian did not deny the Queen's words and admitted it.
"Hehe, is that what people say about me?”Queen Jingjue smiled helplessly and asked. Then, without waiting for Xiang Qian to answer, she continued,"As the Queen of Jingjue, I do rule the thirty-six kingdoms around the Western Regions, but I have never enslaved them, oppressed them, or harmed them. I'm the ninth queen of Jingjue Ancient Nation. For generations, Jingjue Ancient Nation has been ruled by women with bloodlines. However, because none of the queens of Jingjue Ancient Nation have awakened their bloodlines, their lifespans are very short. They can only live to 24 years old. However, after death, as long as one's body did not rot and certain conditions were met, one could awaken their bloodline and revive, achieving true immortality and eternal youth. I don't know who leaked the secret that even the Queen of Extinction could be resurrected and live forever, but the affiliated kingdoms started to spread the news of my cruel killing. At that time, the name of my Queen of Extinction could even stop children from crying. Finally, on my 23rd birthday, the affiliated kingdom took the opportunity to celebrate my birthday and poisoned my food, forcing me to hand over the secret of resurrection and immortality. I was angry, so I cursed them. Although they all ran away, I died because my bloodline had not awakened. I don't know what happened after that.”The Queen of Exquisite told him what happened to her as if she was telling someone else's story.
"So you have awakened your bloodline now?”Xiang Qian asked curiously.
"No, I woke up early because I obtained a treasure when I was alive. Here, it's this ring.”Queen Jingjue stretched out her fair and tender right index finger and waved it in front of her. She continued,""I don't know what it's made of either. When I got it, the old man who gave it to me said that it could save my life. When I die, if I meet a man with a mysterious and powerful bloodline, this ring will wake me up, and the man who wakes me up will be the one I'm destined to be.”
Xiang Qian was dumbfounded. He felt like he was listening to a fairy tale. However, Xiang Qian knew that what the Queen of Exquisite said might be true because he had transmigrated and had a system that only existed in novels in his body. Only now did Xiang Qian feel that his transmigration was not an accident, but that he did not know if it was arranged by a powerful figure. Otherwise, everything that happened would be too coincidental.
"Sigh, since you woke me up, you're my destined one. You have to save me! I've slept here for more than two thousand years. It's too boring.”Queen Jingjue saw Xiang Qian standing there with his mouth wide open in a daze and spoke to wake him up.
"Aren't you awake now? Do you still need me to save you?" Xiang Qian asked.
"I'm only temporarily awake now. I'll fall back into death in four hours.”Queen Jingjue said.
"Did the old man who gave you the ring say how to completely wake you up?”Xiang Qian asked hurriedly when he heard the Queen of Jingjue. He did not want the wife he had just decided on to be gone just like that.
"He said that the one who woke me up only needs to give me a drop of his blood essence that has completely awakened his bloodline.”The Queen of Exquisite Cuteness stretched out her hands cutely, like a child asking for snacks from an adult. She extended her hands in front of Xiang Qian.
When Xiang Qian heard the conditions of the Queen of Exquisite, he smiled helplessly and said,"I want to save you too, but my bloodline hasn't fully awakened yet. I'm afraid I can't help you.”
"Then what should we do?" The Queen of Exquisite put down her hands in frustration. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Xiang Qian pitifully.
Xiang Qian looked at the Queen of Exquisite's expression and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"Don't worry, wait for me first before you sleep. When I completely awaken my bloodline, I'll come and save you immediately, okay?”Xiang Qian squatted down and reached out to touch the Queen of Exquisite's head as he said gently.
"Alright then, but you have to work hard to awaken your bloodline as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here alone anymore.”The Exquisite Queen said as she rubbed Xiang Qian's hand. She liked the feeling of Xiang Qian touching her head. It made her feel very warm.
"Mhm, don't worry. By the way, did none of your previous eight queens awaken their bloodlines to revive?”Xiang Qian asked curiously.
Queen Jingjue: " No, their bodies rotted not long after they died. If it wasn't for that old man who told me where the Kunlun Divine Wood and Corpse Fragrant Amorphophallus were, I might have become a skeleton now."”
