Chapter 540: Chapter 540

"You first restore your True Qi, I will protect you!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Alright!" the White-clothed Young Master nodded.

He took out some Elixirs to restore True Qi and swallowed them directly.

Sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the river, he circulated his Cultivation Technique, absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy around him to replenish the True Qi he had exhausted.

Seeing him enter the cultivation state, Zhang Xiaohao stood by to protect him.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The White-clothed Young Master opened his eyes.

"Brother Zhang, thank you! I have almost fully recovered," the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Mm, let’s head out!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded and said.

With a sweep of his Soul Power, he discovered a grand formation nearby that blocked the detection through Soul Power.

Even with his robust Soul Power, in this restricted formation he could only cover a radius of a hundred meters.

"Be careful, something’s strange here!" Zhang Xiaohao voiced his caution.

"Mm." The White-clothed Young Master nodded.

The two surfaced from the water.

Not far away, two pairs of guards intersecting each other were approaching this way.

"Someone’s coming!" Zhang Xiaohao warned.

They ducked back under the river again.

"Brother Bai, with your extensive knowledge, do you know where this is?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Royal Palace of the R country," the White-clothed Young Master said with a grave expression.

"The Royal Palace? So, does that mean we were swept by the river waters right into their palace?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Mm." The White-clothed Young Master nodded gravely.

Zhang Xiaohao flipped his palm and took out the map the White-clothed Young Master had given him earlier.

Protecting the map with his True Qi, he opened it.

"Brother Bai, look, our current location should be here!" Zhang Xiaohao pointed at the inner river marked on the map.

"This place is very close to the sleeping chambers behind us, which are where their king and a bevy of concubines reside!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Brother Bai, look at the map again. According to it, there is a treasure hall in their rear sleeping chamber. Since we are here, we might as well take a look," Zhang Xiaohao said, his eyes lighting up.

The White-clothed Young Master pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Zhang, according to the reports by our Bai Xiaosheng’s scouts, their palace hides many old monsters, among them is one comparable to the giant Eight Snakes Demon Beast we encountered before!"

"We are not intending to overthrow their king, merely leaving a memento!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes flashed coldly.

"Good! Since Brother Zhang has this interest, I will accompany you to the end, casting my life to the winds!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Let’s go, let’s follow the path marked on the map to this palace first," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Mm." The White-clothed Young Master nodded.

Zhang Xiaohao and the White-clothed Young Master resurfaced again. After the guards passed, both figures flashed, concealing their auras, and merged into the night like shadows.

Zhang Xiaohao and the White-clothed Young Master had already reached the sleeping chambers at their destination.

The residence of their Queen.

"Eh! There are no guards here, only a mere eight maids!" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed.

"The Little Dwarf is severely cautious, especially concerning matters of men and women. There was previously a scandal involving a guard and a concubine. Since that incident was exposed, the Little Dwarf changed the rules; inside the inner palace, apart from eunuchs and maids, no guard may enter without the king’s summon," the White-clothed Young Master explained.

"Mmm, let’s move on!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

He bit his index finger, executed the Three Pure Daoist Skill, and cast an immobilization technique, directly targeting the eight maids.

In a flash, Zhang Xiaohao and the White-clothed Young Master entered Daffodil Palace one after another.

Silently, they sneaked into the back hall.

A middle-aged noblewoman, dressed in a thin nightgown, lay on the bed, quietly sleeping.

"Brother Zhang, what should we do now? You know, do you want to win some glory for our country?" the White-clothed Young Master joked.

"An old shoe, I wouldn’t take it even if you gave it to me! But what about you, Brother Bai, would you like to win some glory?" Zhang Xiaohao teased.

"Hehe! Then, Brother Zhang, please wait a moment!" the White-clothed Young Master laughed.

"Oh, come on! You’re not serious, are you?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"True or false, false or true, life is just like that! Besides, she is the Queen of the Little Dwarf, she has status, she has looks, and most importantly, she is a woman of R country, contributing my bit to win glory for our country! I’m proud! I’m proud!" the White-clothed Young Master said righteously.

"Fine! I’ll wait outside for you, you have one hour," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Thank you for indulging me, Brother Zhang," the White-clothed Young Master laughed.

Zhang Xiaohao no longer wasted words, stepped out quickly, and waited for him in the front hall.

From the back hall, a series of loud slapping noises started to be heard.

"This guy! He’s trying to win glory for the country, and it’s so loud," Zhang Xiaohao muttered irritably.

Soul Power surged out, and with a gesture of his hands, he set up a soundproof barrier in the room, preventing any sound from leaking out.

An hour quickly passed by.

Suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded from the back hall.

Following that, the White-clothed Young Master and a middle-aged noblewoman walked out from inside.

"Oh, come on! What is going on?" Zhang Xiaohao said, puzzled.

"Brother Zhang, her name is Water Fairy, she has been conquered by me, and, um, from now on, she will be my female slave," the White-clothed Young Master said.

"What? Did I hear that right? In just an hour, you’ve subdued her?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, is there something amiss?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

"You rock! Since you’ve already had your fun, let’s head to the back study," Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

"I have a secret passage that leads to the back study," Water Fairy said just then.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Mhm." Water Fairy nodded.

Leading the way, she took Zhang Xiaohao into the sleeping chamber.

Upon pressing a button behind the bed, the bed moved aside, revealing an underground passage.

Water Fairy led the way down.

"Brother Zhang, let’s go down! Don’t worry, her life is entirely under my control. If she dares play any tricks, I can make her disappear in an instant!" the White-clothed Young Master said sternly.

"Mhm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

Following behind the White-clothed Young Master, they proceeded down the tunnel.

The moment they descended, the tunnel closed back up, returning to its original state.

The tunnel walls, embedded with Luminous Pearls, lit up the entire passageway.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Water Fairy stopped in front of a wall.

"My lords, we are here," Water Fairy said.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Water Fairy dares not hide anything, behind this wall is His Majesty’s study," Water Fairy said.

"Alright, go ahead and open it," Zhang Xiaohao said.
