Fantasy: Sign-in From The Womb, Born As A Major Antagonist

Time flies!

When the first ray of morning light falls on the earth.

Ji Xiu, dressed in a moon-white silk robe, stepped out of the palace.

He had already made all the preparations to go to Heavenly Demon Mountain yesterday.

Old Wei went with him, specializing in control.

Gu Yao stayed in the capital, specializing in intelligence and support.

Although she also wanted to go to Heavenly Demon Mountain with Ji Xiu...

But she knew that she had a great responsibility on her shoulders.

She controlled the entire Military Intelligence Department and couldn't leave the capital unless absolutely necessary.

"Your Highness!"

"Be careful on your journey to Heavenly Demon Mountain!"

"Be careful... of that woman!"

Gu Yao whispered, holding onto the corner of Ji Xiu's clothes.

She wasn't worried about the Saint Children of the top cultivation sects in the Nine Heavens Continent.

The only person she was worried about was the current Demon Sect Holy Queen, Nan Lingyue!

She remembered that ever since ten years ago, that Holy Queen had been coveting her family's Crown Prince!

Perhaps this time, if her Crown Prince accidentally went to Heavenly Demon Mountain, he would be eaten by that Holy Queen!

"Yao'er!"

"Don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu smiled and shook his head, then reached out to gently rub Gu Yao's soft hair.

He understood Gu Yao's worries, but he was no longer the eight-year-old child from ten years ago.

Even if he faced a Saint Realm expert, he had the power to fight!

He believed that with his strength, Nan Lingyue would not be able to do as she pleased with him!

And at that moment...

Outside Fallen Maple Palace, the voices of his mother, Lin Ru, and his grandmother, Mu Hua, could be heard.

"Xiu'er!"

"The Empress has arrived!"

"Why haven't you come out to greet her, you brat?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiu frowned.

He wondered why Chu Li would come here.

In the midst of his thoughts...

Ji Xiu's mother, Lin Ru, and his grandmother, Mu Hua, entered Fallen Maple Palace with Chu Li and the two young ladies, Xue and Yue.

"Xiu'er!"

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Why don't you go and greet the Empress?"

Mu Hua patted Ji Xiu's back with a smile.

"Greetings, Empress!"

Ji Xiu politely nodded to Chu Li.

"Xiu'er!"

"The Empress heard that you were leaving for Heavenly Demon Mountain today and specially came to see you off!"

"Look... how much the Emperor values you, to have the Empress personally see you off!"

Lin Ru explained softly by Ji Xiu's side.

"I see!"

"Then, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"And thank you, Empress!"

Ji Xiu spoke with a restrained tone.

Heh heh!

Chu Li heard this and her lips curled up slightly. Then, she walked forward and stood in front of Ji Xiu.

"Your Highness!"

"You don't have to be so polite!"

No!

Ji Xiu shook his head and responded seriously.

"For Your Majesty!"

"I am a subject!"

"This level of courtesy should be observed!"

Is that so?

Chu Li raised an eyebrow and then, in the curious gazes of everyone, took two steps closer to Ji Xiu.

At this moment, she and Ji Xiu were very close, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

"Ji Xiu!"

"Now you know that I am the Empress, right?"

"But..."

"I remember..."

"That night, you weren't like this!"

Chu Li whispered in Ji Xiu's ear, her voice like a dream.

After speaking, she didn't wait for Ji Xiu to answer. Instead, she reached out her jade hand and personally began to straighten Ji Xiu's collar.

As she carefully adjusted it, she secretly transmitted her voice.

"This time, when you go to Heavenly Demon Mountain!"

"I will let Xue accompany you."

"She will control my network of influence there!"

"How about it?"

"Did I keep my promise?"

"Also, I heard that Long Yuan will initiate a mysterious plan after you leave."

"But don't worry... I will keep an eye on him for you!"

Chu Li finished speaking and took two steps back before turning to Lin Ru and Mu Hua with a sweet smile.

"Since that's the case..."

"I'll take the first step!"

"Here, I wish the Crown Prince great success!"

After saying these words, Chu Li didn't wait for a response from Lin Ru and Mu Hua. She left Fallen Maple Palace with Lady Yue.

And she left behind a sweet and timid girl, Xue Guniang, standing in place with a sheathed knife on her back, her head lowered and feeling somewhat uneasy.

"This..."

Lin Ru and Mu Hua exchanged glances.

They both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

At this moment, they shared a common thought: Her Majesty the Empress seems to have taken a liking to our Xiu'er!

"Old Wei!"

"Chu Li, what does she mean?"

"How can she be so audacious in Ji Mansion?"

Gu Yao angrily questioned Old Wei.

Old Wei remained silent.

Gu Yao looked at Old Wei's silent and slightly awkward appearance, and suddenly thought of something, then asked,

"Old Wei, could something have happened between them?"

Upon hearing this, Old Wei shook his head and softly replied,

"Miss Gu Yao."

"Don't ask."

"I don't know either!"

Is that so?

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow in doubt.

A woman's intuition told her that Chu Li and their Crown Prince must have something going on!

.............

After a simple farewell,

Ji Xiu, accompanied by Old Wei and Xue Guniang, set off on their journey to Heavenly Demon Mountain.

Watching Ji Xiu and his group gradually disappear into the distance, Gu Yao stood alone in place for a long time. After a while, she pursed her lips and whispered to herself,

"Crown Prince!"

"You don't know yet."

"Yao'er... is just one step away from reaching Monarch Rank!"

"When you come back, Yao'er will give herself to you!"

"And before that, Yao'er will protect Ji Family for you!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

And in that moment she turned around,

She no longer had the demeanor of a little girl in front of Ji Xiu.

At this moment, she had returned to her decisive and ruthless self from the years when she was the underground queen of the Northern Xia Dynasty.

.............

In Ji Family Military Mansion,

Lin Ru paced back and forth.

"Mother!"

"You mean... the Empress might have taken a liking to our Xiu'er?"

"I've asked, Emperor Longyuan didn't send the Empress to see him off!"

After saying that, she felt even more that something was amiss.

"You!"

"Can't you calm down?"

"Even if the Empress has thoughts about our precious Xiu'er, so what?"

"If our Xiu'er doesn't want to..."

"Can she force him?"

Mu Hua looked at Lin Ru with a smile on her face.

Although she said that, she actually felt that Empress Chu Li was too intimate with Ji Xiu.

But she didn't believe that there was anything between Chu Li and Ji Xiu.

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Even if Xiu'er is willing... I won't agree!"

"This woman Chu Li has a complicated background, and she's already the Empress of Northern Xia... Her status is not right, and her words are not appropriate!"

"She can't compare to Mu Bing!"

Lin Ru shook her head, refusing.

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and quickly asked Mu Hua,

"Mother!"

"That girl Mu Bing, didn't she go into seclusion in the Icebound Land for cultivation?"

"What's the situation?"

"Is she coming back?"

Hmm...

Mu Hua, upon hearing this, smiled slightly and said,

"You!"

"Just rest assured!"

"Three days ago, Senior Sister already contacted me."

"She said that Mu Bing will be coming out of seclusion soon!"

"It's really soon!!!"
