Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

Therefore, she couldn’t die yet. At least until her brother returned, she couldn’t die...

Besides, what woman wouldn’t be furious if a strange man stripped her clothes without her knowledge?!

Wasn’t that just a normal reaction? This guy, too—he didn’t even hesitate, he just went to hack her to death...

Seeing the Empress soften, the anger in Su Xuan’s heart dissipated somewhat. He frowned and spoke coldly, ”Apologize to me!”

”Ah?”

”What do you mean ’ah’? I am your savior. Even if you don’t express your gratitude, you still wanted to kill me? Hurry up and apologize, or I’ll hack you to death right now and act as if I never saved you!”

As he spoke, Su Xuan pressed the longsword half an inch closer, to the point where it almost touched the Empress.

The Empress immediately lost her temper. She swallowed hard and stammered, ”I’m... I’m sorry...”

Seeing that Su Xuan still didn’t intend to let her go, the Empress bit her silver teeth and continued, ”I... I shouldn’t have attacked you... Please... please forgive me...”

To stay alive, the Empress was really pushing herself, actually saying such humiliating words.

One must know that even that three-hundred-year-old monster Yuan Tiangang never had such a privilege.

Today, the Empress had truly fallen into Su Xuan’s hands.

Seeing the Empress blush while apologizing, the anger in Su Xuan’s heart finally vanished. He withdrew the xuantian sword and set it aside casually.

As the longsword left her neck, the Empress breathed a sigh of relief.

Thud! Clang!

Before she could relax for even two seconds, she suddenly heard two crisp sounds.

It turned out that Su Xuan’s seemingly casual placement of the xuantian sword had actually smashed a nearby boulder into small fragments, and the sword itself had sunk halfway into the ground.

The Empress’s beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise. A heavy sword?!

Then the Empress’s gaze fell upon Su Xuan. This guy was not simple!

”What are you looking at? You’re sick!” Su Xuan glanced at the Empress and cursed.

The corner of the Empress’s mouth twitched slightly, but she didn’t talk back.

In her view, Su Xuan had a very strange temper. If she really provoked his anger, she might actually die here today.

Since the Empress didn’t speak, Su Xuan didn’t feel like scolding her further. He casually unsealed her acupoints, helped her to sit by the large boulder, and then sat down beside her as well.

Feeling the itchy sensation on her chest, the Empress opened her mouth to speak, but thinking of something, she ultimately said nothing. She lifted her hips slightly and shuffled to the other side, moving a bit further away from Su Xuan.

Su Xuan naturally noticed these small movements but said nothing. After a pause, he said, ”The herbal medicine I just applied to you used three herbs that were several decades old. I’ll need to use three more later. Setting aside the life-saving favor for now, you must pay me back for my herbs!”

Hearing Su Xuan mention this, a hint of bashful red flashed across the Empress’s pretty face. Her beautiful eyes darted away as she said, ”I don’t have any herbs on me right now...”

”Don’t you think I know that?” Su Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked the Empress up and down.

”You...” How could the Empress not know what Su Xuan was implying? But she had no choice and could only snort to express her shame and indignation. ”Hmph!”

Su Xuan smiled and stopped teasing her. ”I don’t need you to give them to me now, but you must return them later!”

”Oh...”

After she spoke, the air was silent for a few seconds. The Empress suddenly felt a bit curious. She looked up and asked, ”You trust me that much? You think I’ll actually pay you back?”

Su Xuan got down from the boulder and stretched. He didn’t answer her question directly but instead pulled a token engraved with the words ’Phantom Sound Workshop’ from his robes. He smiled meaningfully and said, ”I believe the King of Qi wouldn’t want the world to know that the Empress and the King of Qi are the same person, right?”

The Empress frowned and just looked at Su Xuan without saying anything more, a trace of wariness unconsciously rising in her heart.
