Chapter 1233 1144: A Precious Treasure
Seeing "Li Chang" raise a whip towards him, Wang Yan squinted his eyes, a cold light flashing in them. At this moment, Wang Yan was in a bad mood and didn't care about killing this "Li Chang" who couldn't see clearly.
However, just as "Li Chang's" whip was about to coil around Wang Yan's neck, Imperial Censor Ji suddenly said, "Wait."
"Li Chang" hastily stopped his hand and turned to Imperial Censor Ji with a smile, asking, "What are your orders, Imperial Censor?"
Imperial Censor Ji looked Wang Yan up and down, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes: "What a handsome lad, give him to me and I'll spare your life."
Hearing the words of Imperial Censor Ji, "Li Chang" quickly nodded.
Exchanging a worthless mortal for the goodwill of the Demon Emperor's Imperial Censor, why wouldn't "Li Chang" be willing?
Imperial Censor Ji waved his hand, tossing "Li Chang" aside, and walked up to Wang Yan, flashing a charming smile as he said, "Handsome, come with me."
Wang Yan felt a flicker of joy in his heart; if he could leave here with this Demon Emperor, it would certainly save him a lot of trouble.
But outwardly, Wang Yan remained cold as ice, saying coldly, "Why should I?"
"Li Chang" became anxious and scolded, "This is Lord Imperial Censor you are talking to..."
Imperial Censor Ji immediately rebuked "Li Chang": "Shut up."
"Li Chang" immediately shrank his head, not daring to speak further, though inwardly indignant: "Why? I'm a Demon Warrior, and he's just a mortal. Is it just because he looks good? What use is looking good?"
Imperial Censor Ji turned back to Wang Yan, once again beaming with a radiant smile: "Don't be afraid, my name is Ji Congjing, you can call me Congjing. Come with me and I can assure you the finest food and drink. How about it?"
"Ji Congjing, what a name!" Wang Yan sneered inwardly. On the surface, he showed a hint of doubt, asking, "Really? I won't have to dig stones anymore?"
Imperial Censor Ji said, "Of course, my words always count."
Seeing that Wang Yan had not refused again, Imperial Censor Ji immediately raised a hand, taking out a Flying Treasure and placing it on the ground.
This treasure was a soft sedan chair, intricately crafted, lined with soft animal fur, looking extremely comfortable.
Imperial Censor Ji pulled Wang Yan to sit on the sedan, reclining beside it, as the soft sedan rose into the air, flying far away.
Seeing Wang Yan receive such treatment, "Li Chang" widened his eyes in disbelief, the envy almost making his eyes pop out, directly hating his parents for not giving him a good-looking face.
As Wang Yan and Imperial Censor Ji soared into the sky, he immediately focused his attention on the ground below.
This sight shocked Wang Yan.
For he saw beneath him a landscape of mountains, rivers, cities, towns, and villages, indistinguishable from the world above ground.
Only the sky was shrouded in gray, no blue sky in sight.
Nevertheless, in this gray sky, a sun hung above.
Wang Yan felt increasingly puzzled; the place called the "Great Qin Empire" indeed resembled an empire.
If he hadn't come from the world outside, he might have believed this place to be the normal world.
Seeing Wang Yan's astonished expression, Imperial Censor Ji did not suspect anything, thinking it was only natural.
Thus, throughout the journey, Imperial Censor Ji explained the world below to Wang Yan: this was Sancai County, that was Celestial Profound County, here was the Ganjiang River, and there was Poyang Lake.
This revelation made Wang Yan even more amazed. The underworld looked exactly like the upper world, merely scaled down a bit.
In just half a day, Wang Yan and Imperial Censor Ji reached the sky above a massive city.
Imperial Censor Ji pointed to the huge city and said, "This is Nanyang County."
Even without Imperial Censor Ji's explanation, Wang Yan had seen the words "Nanyang" written above the city gate.
These characters were in Small Seal Script, the common script of the Qin Dynasty, which Wang Yan recognized well from his study of ancient books.
Arriving in Nanyang County, Imperial Censor Ji descended and explained to Wang Yan, "Upon reaching the County City, we must walk into the city. Except for the Lord Governor, Prime Minister, or Grand General, no one can fly over the County City."
Wang Yan remained outwardly calm, but secretly noted this information.
Imperial Censor Ji then stored the Flying Treasure, and the two of them walked into the County City.
Inside the city, they saw ancient buildings on either side, with passersby dressed in the long robes of the Qin era, everything was exactly like the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Yan even felt an illusion, as if he had traveled back to the Qin Dynasty.
His unusual attire immediately caught the attention of onlookers, but anyone who tried to approach was blocked by Imperial Censor Ji.
Wang Yan nodded secretly, realizing that without Imperial Censor Ji, he might have blown his cover here.
After passing through several streets, Imperial Censor Ji led Wang Yan to a lovely stone courtyard with several exquisite tile-roofed houses.
The courtyard door was wide open, and Imperial Censor Ji brought Wang Yan inside.
Along the way, Wang Yan listened to Imperial Censor Ji's descriptions and learned more about the Great Qin Empire, enough to prevent being recognized if he went out alone.
But since Imperial Censor Ji had a place to stay, Wang Yan didn't mind staying here for a few more days.
As for Imperial Censor Ji, Wang Yan had already guessed why she brought him here, most likely for dual cultivation to absorb yang energy.
But just a mere Demon Emperor, Wang Yan did not fear her.
He confidently followed Imperial Censor Ji into the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, as they stepped into the main hall, dozens of young men rushed out like puppies seeing their owner, cheering as they ran towards Imperial Censor Ji.
These young men were all ordinary mortals, not a single Demon Cultivator among them; each face was bloodless, eyes sunken, all seemingly exhausted from excess indulgence.
Yet, one could vaguely distinguish that these youths were originally quite handsome.
Upon seeing these men, Imperial Censor Ji immediately showed a look of disgust and shouted, "Get back inside, stay in the back hall, and no one is to come out."
At her words, numerous Demon Cultivators emerged from all sides, quickly dragging these men away and pushing them into the back hall.
Imperial Censor Ji turned back to Wang Yan with a charming smile, took his hand, and led him straight into a small side room.
Entering the room, it was filled with cheerful red decor, a delicate carved bed covered with red bedspreads, and silk quilts embroidered with lotus petals.
Seeing no one else in the room, Wang Yan, not wanting to waste time, coldly asked, "Why did you bring me here? Just tell me straight."
Hearing this, Imperial Censor Ji smiled again, pulling Wang Yan to sit on the carved bed and softly said, "Actually, I brought you here to show you a treasure."
"What kind of treasure?" Wang Yan still asked coldly.
Imperial Censor Ji smiled once more, slowly reaching her right hand into her bosom and gently pulling something out.
With a "rip" sound, Imperial Censor Ji's clothes tore open, revealing a fair expanse of quivering flesh beneath.
