I'm Already A Great Emperor, And The System Wants Me To Be The Heroine's Lackey? - Chapter 42

Jun Jiuxiao returned to the Holy Land and instructed Ji Lanqing to go back first while he went to pay a visit to his master, Jun Wuqi.

After meeting with Jun Wuqi, Jun Jiuxiao leisurely returned to his cave dwelling and then asked Elder Pu to investigate the recent activities of Lin Chen from the Nine Sun Sect.

Jun Jiuxiao was also organizing the list of enemies he needed to deal with. The Ji family was to be handled by Ji Lanqing and would be dealt with later.

The maid from the Fu’an Chamber of Commerce had already been assigned to Old Jiu for handling, and Jun Jiuxiao wasn’t concerned about that since Old Jiu was skilled enough for the job.

As for the male lead, Lin Chen, Jun Jiuxiao decided to deal with him slowly, keeping him on hold for now.

He hesitated over whether to deal with Ji Wen first but ultimately decided to leave that for later as well.

This time had been unusually easy—he hadn’t needed to lift a finger himself. Feeling pleased, Jun Jiuxiao decided to treat himself to some fried chicken, so he exchanged some points in the marketplace and began enjoying his meal.

After satisfying his hunger, Jun Jiuxiao decided to indulge his desires and used his spiritual sense to check on what Ji Lanqing was up to.

Ji Lanqing had just taken the Refining Bone Pill that Jun Jiuxiao had given her, which caused the karmic fire of the Red Lotus to flare up again. She had already lost consciousness from the burning pain.

Jun Jiuxiao flashed into Ji Lanqing’s cave as easily as if he were entering his own home. Without any concern, he picked up the completely naked Ji Lanqing and helped stabilize the raging Red Lotus Karma Fire.

During the process, it was inevitable that he touched places he shouldn’t have, but Jun Jiuxiao considered it a fee for his assistance.

As he looked at Ji Lanqing’s face, he couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty, thinking that the heavens had truly favored her with an unparalleled appearance and exceptional talent.

The so-called top ten beauties of the Eastern Region paled in comparison to Ji Lanqing’s face.

Jun Jiuxiao noticed that Ji Lanqing’s lips seemed a bit pale, so he decided to sacrifice himself for her sake and kissed her, adding some color to her lips.

Hmm, not bad. As expected, it was indeed fragrant and soft.

Sensing that Ji Lanqing was about to wake up, Jun Jiuxiao quickly rearranged her in her original position, and then disappeared.

When Ji Lanqing woke up, she realized that her clothes were gone again. After confirming that she was in her own cave-dwelling, she felt relieved, thinking that her body was only for the Holy Son to see, not for others.

After dressing, Ji Lanqing looked in the mirror and noticed that the red birthmark on her face seemed to have faded. Before, her right cheek had been completely covered by the mark, but now, the redness around her nose was gone.

Could it be that the birthmark on her face might disappear entirely one day? If so, she might finally be able to stand beside the Holy Son without being stared at with strange looks. She could finally be worthy of him.

She even fantasized about having a few beautiful children with the Holy Son, ideally ones who looked like him.

Moreover, if she became beautiful, she wouldn’t have to worry about those vixens trying to seduce him.

Thinking of those damn vixens, Ji Lanqing’s eyes turned fierce. No one should try to snatch the Holy Son away from her, or else…

She realized she needed to work hard on her cultivation to be able to deal with those vixens.

Ji Lanqing calmed her mind and focused on cultivating, all for the sake of the Holy Son.

Back in his cave, Jun Jiuxiao was still savoring the sensation of touching Ji Lanqing’s body—her snow-white skin, soft curves, slender waist, and that part that couldn’t be grasped with just one hand…

Jun Jiuxiao shook his head. He couldn’t think about it any further; women would only affect his Dao heart. No matter how beautiful the appearance, it was just skin deep. Jun Jiuxiao recited a mind-clearing mantra to forcefully suppress the scene he had just seen.

Once he had calmed down, Jun Jiuxiao’s mind was clear, and he began to consider the matter of Lin Chen.

Whenever he thought of Lin Chen, Jun Jiuxiao had an urge to torture him severely.

At this moment, Elder Pu returned with a grim expression, as if he had encountered something disgusting.

Jun Jiuxiao took the jade slip from Elder Pu and told him to go back and enter seclusion to prepare for his breakthrough to the Holy King realm.

After scanning the contents of the jade slip, Jun Jiuxiao could roughly guess why Elder Pu had looked so repulsed earlier.

Elder Pu was meticulous in his work. Since the records indicated that Lin Chen emitted a foul odor, he must have personally examined and smelled it up close—no wonder he looked so disgusted.

Moreover, the report showed that Lin Chen later started emitting another pungent smell.

Seeing that Lin Chen had become a famous—or rather, infamous—figure in the Xuantian Holy Land, with people covering their noses at the mere mention of his name, Jun Jiuxiao couldn’t help but laugh. What had started as a prank had turned into an unexpected bonus.

It was a pity that the foul powder’s effect only lasted for a month. Otherwise, Jun Jiuxiao would really like to see if the harem members of the smelly male lead would still love him to death despite his stench.

Maybe I should sprinkle another dose of the stench powder on him?

Sigh, applying it once a month was too troublesome. It would be more fun to try a different approach. Perhaps that master and disciple duo must be arranged for Lin Chen.

Jun Jiuxiao wondered if the golden finger grandpa in his ring would clench his butt in response to this scene. He was also genuinely curious to see the expressions of Lin Chen’s harem members.

Then, remembering that Ji Lanqing was also one of Lin Chen’s harem members, Jun Jiuxiao summoned 2233 and scolded it.

2233 was utterly bewildered. Why was the host suddenly scolding it? Wasn’t he in a good mood just moments ago? Humans were truly complicated creatures. I need to study human behavior further, 2233 thought as he picked up a human encyclopedia and began reading.

After scolding 2233, Jun Jiuxiao felt better. Indeed, human emotions were similar; transferring unhappiness onto someone else worked well.

Instead of wasting energy on internal struggles, it’s better to torment others. After all, 2233 could barely count as a person, right?
