Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 126

“Used up in less than half a year? Just how profound are his foundations?”

“I can’t really describe how strong he is. You have to see it for yourself, experience it personally, to truly understand his power.”

Ye Wushuang’s strength was simply beyond imagination.

Even the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal struggled to find words to describe just how powerful Ye Wushuang was.

The depth of his foundations was something it had never seen before, never even heard of.

After all, Ye Wushuang had mastered far too many Dao techniques.

These included not only many supreme Dao techniques from the Divine Dragon Imperial Family but also techniques he had comprehended himself.

Later, he had even incorporated Dao techniques that the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal itself didn’t understand.

This made it impossible for the Imperial Seal to gauge exactly how powerful Ye Wushuang had become.

The only thing it knew for sure was that Ye Wushuang was invincibly strong.

Hearing this from the Imperial Seal, the Divine Dragon Empress grew curious.

“In that case, I shall go see for myself!”

She held great expectations for Ye Wushuang.

She hoped for his strength and for the Divine Dragon Empire to become stronger because of him.

In her heart, she even entertained the thought of becoming cultivation partners with him.

Therefore, she paid particularly close attention to his situation.

Previously, Ye Wushuang’s cultivation realm had been too low, so low that she hadn’t known how to interact with him.

But now, with his rapid progress, things were different.

To gain a deeper understanding of the current Ye Wushuang, she needed to meet him personally.

With this in mind, the Empress began her preparations.

Dressed in noble yet gentle red robes, and carrying a vast quantity of resources, she appeared at the place where Ye Wushuang was in seclusion.

Her arrival immediately caught Patriarch Liu Ning’s attention.

He seemed somewhat flustered.

“You… you’re here!”

“Mm. How have you been, Master?”

“Same as always, no changes.”

“But… could you please not trouble him? He’s still young and inexperienced, not fully aware of our Divine Dragon Imperial Family’s situation. That’s why he applied for so many resources!”

His first thought was that the Empress had come to reprimand Ye Wushuang.

The amount of resources requested was indeed astronomical—even he might not have been approved for that much.

Yet Ye Wushuang, like a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger, had applied directly to the Empress.

No matter how good his relationship with her was, such a massive request was pushing it.

So, her presence here likely meant she was here to scold him.

Perhaps she might even lose her temper and do something unexpected.

Thinking this, Patriarch Liu Ning couldn’t sit still; he was determined to protect Ye Wushuang at all costs.

However, the Empress was taken aback by his words.

She hadn’t come to cause trouble at all. She was here to deliver the resources Ye Wushuang had requested.

At the same time, she wanted to understand him better and assess his current state.

Patriarch Liu Ning’s words puzzled her at first, but she quickly grasped the situation.

“Is his talent truly so remarkable that you would defend him like this?”

“It is! His talent is unparalleled, unprecedented and likely never to be seen again. With him, our Divine Dragon Empire can be secured for eternity!”

“He alone can protect our empire for millennia to come!”

Patriarch Liu Ning held Ye Wushuang’s talent and accumulation in the highest regard.

Hearing the Empress’s questioning tone, he hurriedly explained, afraid she still intended to punish Ye Wushuang. He even pleaded:

“Please, don’t trouble him. Let’s just pretend nothing happened, alright?”

“As for the resources he requested, I’ll give him my own share!”

His words both amused and touched the Empress.

At the same time, her curiosity about Ye Wushuang grew even stronger.

Just what kind of person could make Patriarch Liu Ning set aside his pride and beg like this?

“Actually, I’m here to bring him the resources.”

“Ah?”

“His resource application has been approved. This is what our Divine Dragon Imperial Family owes him, what he rightfully deserves. So, I’ve granted it.”

The Empress stated this matter-of-factly, while Patriarch Liu Ning was left utterly bewildered.

Ignoring his stunned expression, the Empress said calmly:

“I’m going to see him.”

With that, she entered Ye Wushuang’s secluded cultivation chamber.

The moment she stepped inside, Ye Wushuang sensed her presence.

He wasn’t surprised by her visit.

He knew the Empress was a woman of her word, who would honor her promises.

However, her personal delivery did surprise him slightly.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“At ease.”

“I’ve brought the resources you requested.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Although Ye Wushuang was very familiar with the Empress, he remained exceptionally polite at this moment.

It was as if he had never once inhabited her body.

Although, seeing her dressed so elegantly and beautifully did cause a slight flutter in his heart.

The Empress sensed this fleeting emotion.

It pleased her, sending a sweet ripple through her heart.

She could tell that Ye Wushuang’s heart had stirred for her, for who she was now.

Her careful selection of this specific attire hadn’t been in vain.

However, she quickly composed herself, trying not to let Ye Wushuang notice anything unusual.

“I’ve heard that your current path of re-cultivation is very different from before. Not only has your power become extraordinarily immense, but you also opened twelve Divine Abodes while in the Divine Abode realm.”

“Furthermore, in the Dao Nurturing realm, you inscribed twelve different Dao techniques, and your Dao Palaces now nurture twelve incredibly powerful Dao methods.”

“Would you be willing to spar with me? I’d like to experience your unique Dao techniques firsthand.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll suppress my cultivation to the same realm as yours.”

“Hmm? You want to spar with me?”

Ye Wushuang looked surprised.

Then, an expression of hesitation and internal conflict crossed his face.

Finally, he spoke:

“We can spar, but let’s not use the same realm. You can use Sovereign realm strength instead.”

He hadn’t really wanted to say this, but to spare the Empress from a crushing defeat, he felt he had to be direct.
