After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 234

234~ Finding Reinforcements~

Among all currently known deities, including Xuan, it seems they are all unable to personally intervene for some reason and can only act in the mortal realm by selecting "proxies."

And the little Princess can be seen as Xuan's "proxy," it's just that Xuan has never given her sufficient Divine Power due to the little Princess's physical condition, trying as much as possible not to let her body be eroded.

As an ordinary person, well, to the deities, the vast majority of human mages are just ordinary people with a bit of power, and while Divine Power can make people stronger, it possesses a certain corrosive quality that can erode both a person's spirit and body.

After the body is completely eroded, it almost means life has reached its end, and if the spirit is eroded first, then the entire body will become a puppet of the deity, impossible to recover.

Divine Power is a double-edged sword for the people of this world. The more Divine Power one possesses and the stronger it is, the higher the degree of erosion.

Using power that doesn't belong to oneself ultimately requires paying a price.

"Mo, do you have a way to wake Xuan up?"

If Xuan could help at this time, breaking through this Barrier would be much simpler, and she didn't dare risk going in again. Who knows how many more "deity proxies" are inside?

Come to think of it, she had been out of her mind earlier, too impulsive to think of charging back in herself to find White Wolf.

Since even White Wolf temporarily couldn't escape, her going back in would just be throwing her life away, not helping one bit and would only burden White Wolf.

"I don't."

The little Princess shook her head.

What method could she possibly have? If she had one, she would have used it long ago! There's simply no normal way to wake Xuan who has already fallen into slumber, unless she's on the brink of death, then Xuan might wake up.

Although Xuan had promised her that only when there's real danger to her life, when she's truly dying, would Xuan wake up, who in their right mind would use up something meant to save their life in the early stages!?

"Alright then, looks like we'll have to slowly study it."

Since even she could freely enter and exit, would calling that Cecilia person over give them a better chance of breaking through this Barrier?

If the two of them violently broke through, perhaps it's not impossible?

After all, both of them are already at the top level among Great Archmages, standing at the peak of the world. If they went all out, it should be possible, right?

Thinking this, the Empress casually summoned a Magic Messenger Pigeon and after whispering a few words in the pigeon's ear, released it.

There's no need to worry about Scarlet Phoenix Nation for now. The Eighteen Alliance Nations have already been defeated, and with the Scarlet Maid Corps holding the fort, they can manage without a Great Archmage to suppress them for a while.

Anyway, she estimated this farce wouldn't last much longer. She didn't believe the other party could stay here for long. Once everything was over, she definitely had to get some compensation from Mo the Kitty! Otherwise, wouldn't she have been working for free?

"Hmm? Wait, Mo, come back."

The Empress beckoned, signaling the little Princess to come before her.

"What..." Mmph!"

Under her panicked gaze, the Empress gently cupped her face, and then their breaths gradually drew closer...

……

When the two separated, the Empress took the opportunity to embrace the little Princess and whispered softly,

"When everything is over, stay by my side properly, okay? I promise Mo, whatever Mo wants, I'll give Mo everything."

"Mmph..."

Just because she hadn't reacted for a moment and was lost for a bit, she immediately broke free once she came to her senses.

That's it?

Always drawing big promises for her, and then in the end delivering a blow to the head?

She had finally seen the Empress clearly. Every time promising the moon, every time... they all made her... at least once before she was thoroughly disappointed!

Anyway, the hentai Empress definitely isn't anything good! Much worse than Xiao Xi!

"Mo?"

"Fine, fine, fine!"

The little Princess said sulkily. Although she agreed verbally, she was clearly unwilling, but the Empress didn't mind these things. She just held her in her embrace, buried her face in the little Princess's hair and kept sniffing the little Princess's scent. It was sweet, so sweet.

......

......

"Senior Cecilia!"

"Huh? What? Can't you see I'm reading?"

Cecilia sat casually on a chair, her black-stockinged jade feet placed on the office desk.

This was originally the place where the Empress worked, and now it had become her place to rest and slack off!

Anyway, she was certain that even if the Empress came back and found out, she wouldn't get angry at her. She was half a teacher to the Empress after all. How could a student not show even a bit of gratitude for their teacher's guidance?

"It's Her Majesty the Empress's Magic Messenger Pigeon!"

Hearing this, Cecilia put her legs down, put on her little leather boots, walked to the door. A pigeon spotted her and quickly flew to Cecilia's hand, its claws gripping her fingers tightly.

"Coo coo! Cecilia... coo coo! Come quickly to Glaze City, I... coo coo! need you. After it's done, one year... coo coo! vacation."

"One year!?"

"Coo coo... yes, one year!"

A whole year of vacation! Doesn't that mean she won't even have to spend Magic Power on clocking in afterward? No need to wake up early in the morning to clock in via Magic Message, or appear in person during court sessions!?

A year's vacation! Don't have to come during court sessions! Can sleep as long as she wants, even sleeping for an entire year would be completely fine!

"Woohoo!"

She couldn't help but want to cheer!

"Glaze City, right!? I'll go right now!"

"Come quickly... coo coo!"

After completing its mission, the Magic Messenger Pigeon dispersed into a mass of free-floating Magic Power, leaving behind an excited Cecilia.

"Senior Cecilia, you do still remember what we have to do, right?"

"Ahem, of course I remember! I was just thinking that if I could have a whole year off, I'd have more time to do it on my side, you know? How could it possibly be because I want to slack off that I'd go help Fei?"

Who would believe those words coming from you...?

Ling silently complained in her heart.

But no matter what, anyway now it's already done. Cecilia is also a grasshopper on the same rope now. If Cecilia wanted to betray them at the last minute, then they'd just have to die together!

Although Cecilia and the Empress are both top-tier Great Archmages, there's still some difference in their strength. Due to not cultivating for many years, Cecilia's strength has long fallen behind the Empress.

If not for that extremely terrifying magical talent, she probably would have been left behind by the Empress by who knows how many streets already.

"Sigh... Since it's Her Majesty the Empress asking, Senior, you should go. Leaving this side to Red Leaf and me will be enough."

As for Xiyan... this little maid is too clumsy, she'll be set aside for now.

That's right, Xiyan has also been won over by them!

All for the sake of Her Majesty the Empress...
