Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 105

When she heard the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal’s suggestion, the Divine Dragon Empress took a deep breath.

Then, she spoke:

“Very well. We’ll do what we can.”

“But there’s no need for you to notify him about the body swap. I’ll go to him myself and exchange bodies with him!”

“Good!”

Doing it personally would naturally show greater sincerity.

Moreover, there were many things the Divine Dragon Empress could say face-to-face that she couldn’t otherwise.

The Divine Dragon Imperial Seal felt this was an excellent proposal.

Thus, he and the empress went straight to Ye Wushuang.

When Ye Wushuang saw his own body standing before him, he froze for a moment before realizing what was happening.

“You’re out of seclusion?”

“Mm.”

“This time… thank you. You saved my life at the critical moment.”

“Haha! I just went with the flow. The one who truly made the difference was you.”

Ye Wushuang didn’t dwell on it too much.

But while he didn’t think much of it, Liu Ruyan—the Divine Dragon Empress—took it very seriously.

“No matter how you put it, you saved me. I will repay you for this.”

“And during this time, you’ve done so much for the Divine Dragon Empire. We will repay you for that as well.”

“But aside from resources, what else would you like in return?”

By saying this, the empress was giving Ye Wushuang the chance to make his own requests.

However, after thinking it over, Ye Wushuang couldn’t think of anything he needed.

He had already mastered all the Divine Dragon Empire’s techniques, and the empire was willing to provide him with resources.

Becoming invincible was only a matter of time.

So after a long pause, he still couldn’t come up with any demands.

“No need. Having enough resources is enough.”

“Then… how about this? I promise you that from now on, you may make ten requests of the Divine Dragon Empire at any time, and we will fulfill them unconditionally.”

“Hm. Then I thank Your Majesty.”

Ye Wushuang didn’t find this arrangement unreasonable.

Ten requests were no small matter—they could even shake the foundations of the empire.

Yet the empress was willing to make such a promise, proving her sincerity.

Even so, she remained cautious.

“To make it easier for you to access the imperial resources, how about you become the deputy commander of my palace guard and stay in the palace?”

“I’ll assign you a residence and servants to assist you in your cultivation.”

“Agreed.”

Ye Wushuang had no objections.

Ever since arriving in this world, he had been brought to the Divine Dragon Imperial Palace by the empress. This place had become the most familiar to him, and he’d even developed a strong sense of belonging here.

If he had to leave, he wouldn’t know where else to go.

Of course, he didn’t want to waste his cultivation time on daily guard duties either.

“However, I’d prefer not to be on duty every day. I need more time to focus on cultivation.”

“Don’t worry. As deputy commander, you may choose when to take up your duties. I’ll arrange everything.”

“If possible, I could even request the Imperial Elder to allow you to join the Divine Dragon Imperial Clan as one of its members.”

“After all, you also possess the bloodline of the Divine Dragon.”

“Join the imperial clan? Does that mean… I’d have family?”

“Exactly. Once you’re part of the clan, we’ll be family.”

The empress had investigated Ye Wushuang’s background and found that he was alone—no friends, no known relatives.

It was as if the heavens had sent him to her, appearing out of nowhere, perfectly suited, with unparalleled talent.

His arrival had brought boundless fortune to the Divine Dragon Empire.

It would be a shame if such a person didn’t become part of the empire.

So now, the empress looked at Ye Wushuang with hopeful anticipation, waiting for his answer.

After only a few moments of thought, Ye Wushuang agreed.

“If that’s the case, then I accept.”

“Wonderful! I’ll have the Imperial Elder take you as his disciple. Once you’re his student, no one will dare question your use of imperial resources.”

“Ah, studying under the Imperial Elder… wouldn’t that make me Your Majesty’s junior brother?”

“Correct. Once you become his disciple, you’ll be my junior brother!”

At this, the empress smiled with genuine pleasure.

Everything she had done was to strengthen her ties with Ye Wushuang.

If he truly became her junior brother, their relationship would naturally grow closer.

Though Ye Wushuang found it somewhat sudden, he wasn’t opposed.

During this time, he had gotten along very well with the Imperial Elder and had grown quite fond of the old man.

So becoming his disciple was a welcome prospect.

“In that case, I thank Your Majesty.”

“There’s no need for formalities between us.”

“Also, you may take all the treasures and techniques you’ve acquired during this time. What you’ve obtained belongs to you.”

“I’ve also heard you have a friend in the Divine Dragon Imperial City. I’ll have her taken care of.”

Though the empress was curious about the invincible technique Ye Wushuang had created, she knew it was his own work—his alone.

She wouldn’t force him to hand it over.

After all, Ye Wushuang had already done so much for the Divine Dragon Empire.

To ask for more would be pure greed.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang felt a surge of goodwill toward her.

“Very well. I’ll leave it to Your Majesty’s arrangements.”

“However, I do have two techniques to offer you in return. Only by mastering these can the Divine Dragon Empire truly defend itself.”

Though the empire was now immensely powerful, ruling over fifty major realms with no one daring to provoke it, it was still in grave danger.

If a true enemy were to attack, it would spell disaster.

Especially since the real Divine Dragon Empress had yet to master the Jiezi Secret Art, making her even more vulnerable against powerful foes.

Thus, she had to learn these two techniques—only then could the empire be safeguarded.

Ye Wushuang’s words stunned the empress with shock and delight.

She never expected him to willingly share the two peerless techniques he had created—and so effortlessly at that.

This was beyond anything she had anticipated.
