How Humble the Empress Is

He agreed to see you...

Such a humble tone!

One must know, this was an existence at the Immortal level. Although she didn't know how many tribulations this Immortal had passed, the weight of the word "Immortal" was enough to explain everything.

Was Jiang Che's status in the Jiang family really this high?

Was the true strength of the Jiang family really this terrifying? So many living Immortals?

How did she dare to boldly force her way into the Jiang family back then? She had even wanted to use her Immortal Tribulation to perish together with the Jiang family?

"Heh—"

Jia Mengluo couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had actually been so reckless and stupid!

Perhaps it was her empty title of being third on the Emperor Rankings that made her think her strength was truly formidable?

But just now, that old man had merely leaked a trace of his Immortal aura, and she was suppressed to the point where she couldn't move an inch.

It was laughable that she had wanted to trigger her Immortal Tribulation to self-destruct back then.

If an Immortal made a move, she wouldn't have the slightest chance to trigger the Immortal Tribulation. Even if she did manage to attract it... with the strength of such an Immortal, they probably wouldn't fear the Immortal Tribulation at all.

And now, she was here to plead for forgiveness!

She never dreamed that Jiang Che, whom she had looked down upon a few years ago, had now become the most prominent figure among the myriad races of the Nine Heavens.

Even Immortals had to revolve around him.

Back then, she had separated a wisp of her soul to descend to the lower realm, wanting to teach Jiang Che a lesson. She had killed him countless times in the dream realm, but he had resurrected just as many times, ultimately extending his demonic claws toward her.

Although that was just a divided soul, some memory fragments were still passed down.

The stronger Jiang Che became, the more terrified she felt. She had even thought about contacting her daughter, Jia Ling'er, to have her use an Emperor artifact to kill him when he wasn't paying attention, but she ultimately gave up on the idea.

And now, she completely admitted defeat.

Soon, Jia Mengluo followed the guidance and arrived at the depths of the Jiang family estate.

Passing by a spiritual herb garden, a fleeting glance made her soul tremble.

Divine herbs, over a hundred stalks of divine herbs! Meanwhile, the ultimate treasures of her Jialan Race were merely three stalks of divine herbs.

Finally, Jia Mengluo arrived inside a luxurious side hall.

"Sister Feifei, this porridge was boiled with dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Do you know that after I went to the Qingqiu Race... I captured an azure dragon and bound an immortal phoenix. My heroic posture..."

"Tch, glib tongue!" Gu Lingfei rolled her eyes at Jiang Che, but she still obediently opened her mouth, ate a spoonful of the white porridge, and licked her thin lips.

"I feel like the baby in my belly has been responding a bit lately. It seems bigger than before..." Gu Lingfei gently stroked her lower abdomen through her clothes with her fair hand.

"Of course! After eating so many of this young master's treasures, if this brat still doesn't grow, I'll string him up and whip him in the future!"

Jiang Che leaned over Gu Lingfei's belly and pressed his ear against it.

Jia Mengluo: "......"

Standing at the door, she felt at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Che didn't seem to care about her presence. He continued being intimate with that woman, like the most affectionate pair of lovers. No... like a married couple, like family!

Although Jiang Che had many women, he could guarantee that he was completely sincere to every single one of them. It was absolutely true love.

......

"You can come in!"

Only after Jiang Che sent Gu Lingfei away did he speak leisurely, leaning against the soft couch and looking outside the door.

Jia Mengluo lowered her eyes and slowly walked in with small steps.

However, at this moment, this Jialan Empress had completely lost her former pride. Her luxurious and precious golden phoenix robe had been replaced by a plain white dress. Her crown was removed, her long hair was coiled up, and her breathtakingly beautiful face carried a trace of sorrowful melancholy.

The vibe of a mature married woman was fully on display.

"Young Master Jiang..."

Jia Mengluo bowed slightly.

"Oh my, a rare guest!" Jiang Che laughed out loud. "Isn't this our Jialan Empress? What brings you here?"

Jia Mengluo's expression stiffened. "Jialan Race's Jia Mengluo is here to apologize to Young Master Jiang!"

"Oh my, you are an Empress. What crime could an Empress possibly commit? An Empress makes no mistakes!" Jiang Che laughed mischievously.

"Please... please forgive the Jialan Race!" Jia Mengluo bent her waist even lower.

Because of her, the Jialan Race had been targeted by the Jiang family. From spirit stones to various cultivation resources, all the races that cooperated with the Jialan Race had cut off their ties. The entire Jialan Race was almost on the verge of collapse.

"Heh... hehe." Jiang Che's attitude suddenly changed as he sneered. "Since you are here to apologize, why don't you kneel down to do so?"

Jiang Che's words made Jia Mengluo's body stiffen. Kneel... kneel down?

This Jiang Che was truly temperamental. He was just joking with her a moment ago, but he turned hostile in the next second.

"Jialan Empress, I must praise you a bit. You are, so far... the only person who has killed me thousands of times, and every time the method of death was different!" Jiang Che's smile revealed a wicked charm.

This woman was indeed ruthless. Every strike was a killing blow. If he hadn't had tens of thousands of resurrection cards, the grass on his grave would already be several meters high.

Jiang Che had also unlocked thousands of different ways to die back then. Fortunately, the system could block pain, making it feel just like dying thousands of times in a video game.

But this still made him feel quite displeased.

However, now, karma is a cycle, and the heavens spare no one, mwahaha!

"Young Master Jiang..." Jia Mengluo began to feel afraid.

"Young Master Jiang, for Ling'er's sake, please spare our Jialan Race!"

"Tch~" Jiang Che picked his ear. "Just a while ago, an old geezer knelt before this young master to admit his mistakes and even took the initiative to deliver his daughter to me. Right... what was his name again? I think it was the Emperor of the Qingqiu Fox Race? A Three-Tribulation Immortal Lord!"

Jia Mengluo: "......"

"So, I'm already tired of seeing people like you. It's boring!" Jiang Che waved his hand.

"Where is your previous arrogance? Where is your previous superiority? Please restore them, thank you!"

Jiang Che looked down from above, overlooking the Jialan Empress in front of him.

"I'll give you a chance! Make a move and kill me right now!"

The Jialan Empress's delicate body trembled. She... she felt her entire body go stiff. Having lived for tens of thousands of years... this was her first time feeling fear from a young man.

"Young Master Jiang... I truly know I was wrong. You can kill me or torture me as you please."

With a thud, this lofty Jialan Empress directly knelt in front of Jiang Che, losing all her dignity.

Over the past year or two, her heart had been constantly tormented. The more powerful Jiang Che became, the more terrified she was, fearing that Jiang Che would one day return to take revenge on her.

Moreover, Ling'er was still in Jiang Che's hands. She had no choice.

After kneeling down, Jia Mengluo even inadvertently pulled down the strap of her plain white dress, exposing her snow-white jade shoulders. Below her collarbone, silver-white scales could be faintly seen, looking absolutely magnificent.

Jiang Che: "......"

No, you're breaking the rules here!

Could it be that everyone in the Nine Heavens knew Jiang Che's weakness? That he wouldn't hit delicate and charming girls?

"Heh, Jialan Empress, if Ling'er saw you looking like this, what would she think?" Jiang Che spoke slowly.

Jia Mengluo instantly panicked.

"I... I, Young Master Jiang... I know you love beautiful women. I... I might not be as gorgeous as those fox spirits, but... but I can be yours too."

"Just don't let Ling'er find out. I... I... I can be your lover!"
