Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1498 - Chu Hao is shocked, what is the truth about the emperor's tomb?

The torment from the Queen Mother was brief. As she sat down, Chu Hao finally managed to pull his gaze away, only to find that he had unknowingly followed her into her study.

The study's arrangement was clearly very private, even featuring a soft pillow for napping.

In that instant, Chu Hao, who was already extremely nervous, stiffened up again.

Damn, could I be the first person to ever step into the Queen Mother's study?

Last time it was in the courtyard for official business, this time it's in the study. Next time, could it be the bedroom?

Chu Hao's little heart began to beat uncontrollably again.

The Queen Mother sat down casually and languidly. "Esteemed Minister, you seem to have been acting strangely from the beginning until now. Is there something you want to say?"

I want to quickly advance to become a Sage and take you down for the sake of justice in the Three Realms and Six Paths..." Chu Hao's expression remained calm as he shook his head and said:

"No, not at all. I was just wondering what matter the Queen Mother has summoned me for?"

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Hao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"You should have something you want to ask, right? Go ahead and ask."

Chu Hao twitched his lips and said directly, "Then I'll ask directly. I was wondering how I can take you down?"

The Queen Mother's expression showed slight surprise, but she glared at Chu Hao good-naturedly.

"Don't you already have the answer? When you become stronger than me, it won't be up to me anymore."

Chu Hao nodded. "Alright, I understand… There's one more question. Does that thing you mentioned earlier still count?"

The Queen Mother was taken aback. "What thing?"

Chu Hao stated directly, "The thing about all the Fairies of Yaochi belonging to me if I take you down."

The Queen Mother glared at him again, annoyed. "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Hao remained firm and full of conviction, gazing at the Queen Mother and saying, word by word, "You are already the most perfect being, but even the most beautiful flower needs some green leaves to set it off."

Chu Hao actually spoke such shocking words with a straight face, leaving the Queen Mother somewhat stunned.

The Queen Mother didn't expect Chu Hao to be so proactive this time, and she said with a touch of resentment, "Can't you be serious for once? Don't you want to ask me why I saved you, why I gave you the Soul Jade to save Ni裳?"

Chu Hao grinned. "Those aren't serious matters. The serious matter is what I just said. By the way, why did the Queen Mother invite me to the study today? Instead of that pavilion from before? Could it be that you've seen a lot of my strengths recently?"

The Queen Mother smiled charmingly and rolled her eyes at Chu Hao again. "You're so glib and annoying. You weren't like this before."

Chu Hao said very frankly:

"I'm just revealing my true colors now."

He was so frank and so much of a gentleman that the Queen Mother was speechless for a moment.

The Queen Mother said impatiently:

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll tell you directly."

"We actually possessed that Soul Jade a long time ago…"

Chu Hao raised an eyebrow, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

The Soul Jade, is that the Soul Jade that leads to the Emperor's Tomb?

Chu Hao had been thinking about this matter all along. The importance of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb was self-evident. Why did the Heavenly Court possess this Soul Jade leading to the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb so early on?

Moreover, why would they give this Emperor's Tomb Soul Jade to me? Logically speaking, the Heavenly Court should have been thinking about breaking open the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb and seizing the treasures within all these years.

There's no reason to give it away to someone else, is there?

However, Chu Hao didn't ask any further questions. He just looked calmly at the Queen Mother's beautiful face, waiting for her to explain the cause and effect.

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Hao helplessly.

"Aren't you going to ask why I gave it to you?"

Aren't you about to tell me anyway… Chu Hao smiled mischievously:

"I'll accept anything you give me, and I won't ask. I'll listen when you want to tell me."

"Back then, during the Great War of the Witch and Demon Clans, don't you find it strange? Why is it that after the Great War of the Witch and Demon Clans, the two races that once dominated the primordial continent seemed to have disappeared? Even until today, there are only a few remnants of the Great War of the Witch and Demon Clans?"

Chu Hao fell into a moment of silence, but his heart was secretly shocked. What shocked him was not the question raised by the Queen Mother, but why the Queen Mother would raise this question?!

Could it be that the Queen Mother doesn't know that I opened that Emperor's Tomb? No, or rather, she doesn't know the news I obtained in the Emperor's Tomb.

Because during the Great War of the Witch and Demon Clans, the remaining powerful members of the Demon Clan, led by the Demon Clan's Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, all went to that Emperor's Tomb and sealed themselves inside, waiting for the day they would see the light again.

If I say that, will I be revealing too much?

Especially since the Queen Mother asked that way, could it be that she doesn't know more about it?

Chu Hao decided to put on an act.

Chu Hao shrugged. "Maybe they found a place to hide? Maybe they were hidden by the Sages?"

The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes looked at Chu Hao. Chu Hao didn't show any weakness and looked straight into the Queen Mother's beautiful eyes. Then, Chu Hao's gaze couldn't help but slide downwards…

Really, it's too wonderful.

"You lecher, can you be serious?" the Queen Mother said with slight annoyance.

Chu Hao smiled somewhat shyly. "I can't control myself."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning behind those four words, and she gave Chu Hao another eye roll.

Chu Hao's heart was filled with excitement at this charming eye roll. If possible, who wouldn't want to possess a perfect woman like the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother continued impatiently:

"Actually, after the Great War of the Witch and Demon Clans, the Sages sensed that Emperor Jun seemed to have used some means to forcibly take the remnants of the Demon Clan to hide in a certain place. Not only the Demon Clan, but the Witch Clan seemed to be the same way."

"In order to prevent the origin of the Three Realms and Six Paths from being incomplete, the Sages tried their best to find them, and finally found the hiding places of the two clans. The Soul Jade that I gave you is the hiding place of the ancient Demon Clan."

Chu Hao's expression was shocked. "Then in that case, not only is there a Demon Clan Emperor's Tomb, but is there also a similar Emperor's Tomb for the Witch Clan?"

The Queen Mother suddenly sat up straight and looked at Chu Hao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "How do you know it's an Emperor's Tomb? I never said it was a key to the Emperor's Tomb."

Chu Hao's heart was suddenly shocked. There's a problem. The people of the Heavenly Court have never been to the Emperor's Tomb, or even seen it! Only I have been there!
