Chapter 293: Bestowing the Elixir
Chen Futu sat down next to Qin Liangyu and teased, "You like dragon scales too?"
"What general wouldn't want such a superb steed? But since Your Majesty has a use for it, I won't say more. This Flying Snow is also quite good. Thank you for the horse, Your Majesty."
After the snow, came Qin Liangyu's war cavalry.
Chen Futu then explained his thoughts to Qin Liangyu in detail. The reason he went to great lengths to send the treasure was that one day he could take over Beiwu without bloodshed.
Qin Liangyu exclaimed in surprise, "Can she manage on her own? It is said that the situation in Beiwu is turbulent, and Empress Dugu and the Imperial Preceptor are very powerful figures. If they launch an attack, Liu Longyue may not be able to return, and the treasure you gave her will most likely fall into the hands of Beiwu."
"I'm certain that Liu Longyue won't die."
Chen Futu has suspected more than once that Liu Longyue is the chosen one of this world, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a grand gesture. He will see how she performs after the New Year.
Chen Futu then made some requests: he would try his best to increase Liu Longyue's favorability before the New Year, and if this caused him to distance himself from her as the eldest son's wife, he just hoped she wouldn't be angry.
"I'm not that petty. Your Majesty, please do as you please and don't worry about me."
Qin Liangyu's eyes were extremely gentle, even doting, without the slightest resistance or dissatisfaction, truly a model of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Time passed slowly, and there were only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.
Chen Futu stayed with Liu Longyue the whole time, and even the old lady noticed something was wrong, but she didn't ask any questions, as if she had guessed what her son was thinking.
Chen Futu took out ten bottles of perfume and gave them to the women of the royal court; even the old lady and Qingyi received one.
Following that, Chen Futu gave the Azure Lotus Sword Song to Liu Longyue, and his favorability rating reached 85 points.
[There is hidden information about Liu Longyue. Do you want to view it?]
The system suddenly issued a notification.
Chen Futu slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about this.
Last time I went to the capital, the system reminded me that Liu Longyue's favorability had reached the required level and that I could unlock hidden information. I was too in the mood to look at it then, so I ignored it. Today, I'm going to take a look at what hidden information it is.
"Enable hiding".
As soon as the words were spoken, the system displayed the personal panel, which detailed Liu Longyue's life story, but with some additional red text, which was hidden information.
According to the system, Liu Longyue's maternal clan and the Great Wizard are of the same lineage, a special ethnic group that left the Martial Temple. The reason why Emperor Wu was able to smoothly take over the power back then was because Liu Longyue's mother helped him behind the scenes. Moreover, her mother is not dead. The person who was boiled to death by Empress Dugu was someone else. Liu Longyue's mother just took the opportunity to escape.
"System, what do you mean?! I've already sent the gift, and now you're telling me her mother's still alive? If she finds out, will she still try to seize power? Wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing?"
[Liu Longyue possesses an exceptionally strong aura, suggesting she may be the chosen one of this world. If the host schemes against her, she may very well suffer a backlash.]
"She wouldn't turn against me after gaining power, would she? Her favorability rating is 85%, brother."
[The karma surrounding Liu Longyue is too heavy; the host may not be able to handle it.]
"So she's hiding more than just this information."
[Please upgrade the system again; this will unlock more useful information.]
"You're dreaming! If leveling up were that easy, I would have done it for you already!"
Despite his complaints, Chen Futu already understood what the system meant. Liu Longyue's mother was probably no ordinary person; that woman definitely possessed extraordinary power, or perhaps she was involved in the core secrets of this world. For example, when the old emperor died, the system alerted him that it had disrupted some major events and might have angered some people. In addition, Qingyi had previously said that she had a premonition that her days were numbered...
Chen Futu felt a sense of crisis and asked the system, "Could Qingyi's death be related to Liu Longyue's mother?"
Please upgrade the system as soon as possible.
"piss off!"
Chen Futu closed the system interface in annoyance.
It seems we need to increase the protection on Qingyi's side, or rather, we must find a way to obtain more powerful individuals from the system.
Chen Futu returned to the royal court, summoned all the military generals, and distributed the Nirvana Pills, even Consort Ge received one.
This thing can allow someone at the peak of the Innate Realm to break through and enter the Grandmaster Realm, and it can also improve a person's martial arts cultivation.
In just two days, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Huo Qubing, and Dian Wei all broke through to the Grandmaster level, and are still improving.
Qin Liangyu, Gan Ning, and Cao Zhen barely broke through to the Grandmaster level, while Gao Shun and Ge Fei stabilized at the peak of the Innate level.
Li Xiuning had already taken the Creation Pill and her strength had long since broken through to the Innate Realm, so she still had a Nirvana Pill left.
Chen Futu wanted to give it to Liu Longyue, but after reading the hidden information the system mentioned, he suddenly hesitated.
"System, if I raise Liu Longyue's favorability to 100, will she stop opposing me in the future?"
The system cannot answer, but the level of favorability has a high priority; a good enough relationship is enough to change things.
"Alright, since I've already given her the treasure, a little more won't hurt. Let's keep building up goodwill! If we really clash in the future, with a hundred points of goodwill as a safety net, even if her mother is plotting something, she shouldn't dare to lay a hand on me."
Chen Futu found Liu Longyue again, and sure enough, there was a hint of longing in her eyes. She had heard that the fierce generals of Dragon City had all broken through, and she also wanted to become stronger. She knew that Chen Futu had excellent pills that could help her martial arts reach a higher level.
Chen Futu took out the last Nirvana Pill right in front of him.
Liu Longyue covered her mouth in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to give it to me?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I already said that I would not favor one over the other, so please take it."
Chen Futu solemnly placed the Nirvana Pill into her hand.
Liu Longyue gazed at the heavy pills, her watery eyes flickering uncertainly. Then, she suddenly stepped forward, hugged Chen Futu's neck, and kissed his cheek.
[Liu Longyue's favorability increased to 90 points]
Chen Futu's body trembled, and he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her soft waist, whispering, "Woman, you're playing with fire."
Upon hearing the famous quote from the future world's domineering CEO, Liu Longyue's pretty face immediately flushed red. She rolled her eyes coquettishly and muttered, "Your Majesty really doesn't blame me for scheming like that before?"
"You are my queen, do you intend to marry someone else?"
"I never said that, it's just that Your Majesty has always looked down on me, so..."
"Don't worry, after you've finished dealing with those matters, we'll get married together. I want to marry two of you at once."
Chen Futu went to great lengths to win favor, his words as sweet as honey.
Perhaps because her favorability rating was nearing its peak, Liu Longyue's face was glazed over, her eyes fixed, as if she were hoping to do something to him.
Next, urged by Chen Futu, she took the Nirvana Pill, and her cultivation level soared. In just half a day, she passed the late stage of the Innate Realm and reached the peak of the Innate Realm. She even showed signs of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Chen Futu clicked his tongue in amazement. Wasn't this guy's improvement a bit too fast?
Women of exceptional fortune will experience even greater benefits from using this type of elixir.
