The air inside the whole bedroom seemed to have frozen .
The Empress Dowager stared at Xu Que coldly but with a righteous aura . He stood upright and looked at her with a clear conscience .
Perhaps she thought that there was nothing that she could do to Xu Que, so she could only let the matter rest by entering her bedroom and sitting down on a chair .
She also poured herself a cup of warm tea and said indifferently, "Young Hero Xu, I've invited you over because I have an important matter to discuss with you!"
"Your Majesty is too polite, please go ahead to say it," said Xu Que in a gentlemanly manner, sitting right down on a chair opposite her .
The Empress Dowager pushed the cup of warm tea over to Xu Que . In a nonchalant tone, she said, "if I am guessing correctly, Young Hero Xu wanted to go to the Water Nation because of the Genesis Water Herb, correct?"
"Ah, you're so clever . You actually guessed it!" Xu Que blinked and smiled . He didn't bother about the cup of warm tea and pretended that he had not noticed it .
After all, he was all by himself—one should not simply eat or drink things offered by strangers! Who knew if the Empress Dowager had done something to the drink?
What if she covets this Act Tough King's body and has drugged the drink? thought Xu Que .
The Empress Dowager could sense Xu Que's worry about the cup of tea but she remained silent about it . In her usual indifferent tone, she continued, "Young Hero Xu may not know that the Dragon Veins in the Water Nation are very special, for they are sealed in ice . If you break it forcefully, the spiritual herb may dissipate . I happen to have a treasure called Godly Ice Permeable Shuttle that can help you pick the spiritual herb with ease!"
"Oh? There exists such a thing?" Xu Que smiled faintly and appeared unaffected by the piece of news .
So what if the Water Nation's Dragon Veins are sealed in ice?
This Act Tough King has a System . Do you think ice can daunt me? System has the ability to directly extract the Genesis Water Herb . Why should I need to use your Godly Ice Permeable Shuttle?
The Empress Dowager was quite taken aback by Xu Que's apathetic attitude .
"Young Hero Xu, what I've said is really true," said the Empress Dowager earnestly . She thought that Xu Que did not believe her . "The Genesis Water Herb residing in the Dragon Veins of the Water Nation is really special . Only the Godly Ice Permeable Shuttle can help you get the herb . "
Xu Que shook his head . "Your Majesty, I don't agree with you . As the saying goes, the world is full of wonders—ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough . The Exploding Heavens Faction has at least a hundred ways of extracting the Genesis Water Herb!"
The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded by Xu Que's claims .
Originally, she had wanted to use the Godly Ice Permeable Shuttle as her bargaining chip to negotiate with Xu Que!
However, Xu Que was not at all impressed by the Godly Ice Permeable Shuttle . He even claimed to have a hundred ways of obtaining the spiritual herb . This had totally upset the Empress Dowager's plans!
If such a situation had happened on Earth, the Empress Dowager would certainly make this remark: you boast so well that you scatter all my thoughts!
. . .
After a brief moment of silence, the Empress Dowager nodded her head slightly . "Seems like I've underestimated Young Hero Xu's capability . If Young Hero Xu does not think that this rare shuttle can help you, then I won't waste Young Hero Xu's time any longer . Speaking honestly, I know that there is a type of pill that can be found in the Imperial Tombs of the Water Nation . I would like to ask young hero Xu to help me remove it, since you're going there anyway!"
"Oh? What kind of pill is it?" Xu Que's curiosity was piqued .
The Empress Dowager replied solemnly, "Eight-Star Ice Jade Pill!"
An eight-star pill?!
Xu Que was taken aback by her reply . What kind of country is the Water Nation to actually have eight-star pills? he thought .
