Chapter 957: Chapter 957

The Empress nodded knowingly, thinking that this is the magical artifact in the hands of people in this world. It seems to be a world where magical artifacts are highly developed.

The Empress holds great reverence for cultivation and doesn’t believe she can quickly understand the magical artifacts in this world, so she didn’t ask, but just kept a stern face and said: "You mentioned that my father left something for me."

Zhao Douan smiled and said: "It’s right here. Uncle Xu said for me to first help you get acquainted with this place."

The Empress nodded, accepting this explanation.

Since the person in the painting is the guide, the first step in cultivation should be getting familiar with this strange world, which matched her judgment. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

But... if she had confirmed this earlier, she wouldn’t have pretended and would have asked sooner.

Realizing that she is now cultivating, the Empress suddenly felt less hurried, turned around, and walked to the living room, her gaze landing on the most notable piece of black "screen" on the wall. She pointed and asked haughtily: "What is this?"

"Television, um, a box similar to shadow puppetry, but it has more plays inside. Though it’s uncertain if it can be watched now." Zhao Douan thought for a moment and gave a vivid explanation.

He suddenly felt a bit eager to see the Empress’s expression after watching film and television dramas.

If the household appliances only made the Empress curious, finding them interesting and could be explained with terms like "magical artifacts," then the richer world displayed in TV dramas would indeed shock her.

However... feeling the hunger pangs in his stomach, Zhao Douan habitually opened his phone and said: "Hold on, I’ll order takeout first. Um, maybe you’ll eat... never mind, I’ll just order."

Um... considering that the Empress has been in the scroll for quite a while, Zhao Douan tried to choose a restaurant that is closer.

Takeout? Those errand boys on the street who deliver food to your door?

The Empress raised her eyebrows, she quickly accepted the concept of takeout because "takeout" also exists in Yu Country.

In the Capital, some wealthy families would have nearby restaurants deliver dishes, it was just surprising to Xu Zhenguan that orders could be placed with a small magical artifact.

While Zhao Douan ordered the takeout, she directly sat on the sofa and picked up the remote control beside her.

From the previous demonstration with the air conditioner, she understood that this is a magical object for mortals in this world to control artifacts.

The Empress, quick-witted, inferred from the air conditioner remote’s usage and tried pressing the buttons.

The next second, an emblem appeared on the black large screen on the wall, followed by an opening ad lasting several seconds.

Upon seeing the figures and animations suddenly appear on the TV, the Empress’s pupils quivered, her body instinctively recoiled, suppressing the urge to draw her sword. She widened her eyes, the rapidly changing advertisement reflected in her pupils, and she gasped softly: "Ah..."

Zhao Douan placed his order and looked up, seeing this scene as the ad disappeared, leaving the homepage on the screen.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, the Empress suddenly turned her head, staring straight at him with eyes full of excitement, urging: "Why was that shadow play so brief? Do show Me again quickly!"

She couldn’t even be bothered to act imperial!

The Empress was indeed surprised, in fact, more than shadow puppetry, she felt this was more like the "recording scroll," capturing images with sound and visuals.

Just compared to the magical artifact "recording scroll" from Yu Country which presented image scrolls, the ad’s clarity and visual impact were far superior.

Most importantly, the content of the ad was evidently not "recorded" but professionally produced, something the Empress had never seen before.

Zhao Douan was silent, it was his first time hearing someone strongly request to watch an opening advertisement again.

"This can’t be replayed, but there are many better things inside that you can watch." Zhao Douan pointed to the options on the screen and briefly explained the remote control’s usage.

Um, it’s a pity that these days televisions are not old-fashioned; they’re boxes where you pick what to watch yourself, can’t automatically play or quickly "change channels."

The Empress learned swiftly, after mere attempts, she was eagerly picking from the homepage.

Yet, the colorful video thumbnails were hard for her to adapt to when suddenly her eyes lit up, drawn to an ancient costume drama’s cover.

The cover prominently featured a woman wearing a dragon robe.

The Empress’s DNA reacted...

Zhao Douan glanced, realizing it was the newest costume drama, featuring a storyline about an Empress.

The Empress clicked on it, and the video expanded quickly, as this video platform aimed to retain viewers, opening not with the first episode but an exciting clip from a particular episode.

Thus, the TV screen first showed the backdrop of a Golden Throne Hall, with ministers seemingly at a court assembly, and on the dragon chair, an aging Empress solemnly issuing decrees, demanding the Prince to wed an alien race...

Zhao Douan couldn’t hold back, drawing a sharp breath, nervously staring at Xu Zhenguan, fearing Zhenbao might be influenced by the drama...

Only to see the Empress, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, clutching the remote, staring dazedly at the television, evidently shaken by this new thing.

But soon, as the Empress and ministers started arguing in the drama... Xu Zhenguan’s brow furrowed deeper, finally turning to Zhao Douan, coldly saying: "Are your plays here this foolish?"
