Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
Xiao Chen looked at Shangguan Qingmeng in front of him, his expression slightly stunned, then he reacted and smiled: "You women are really fickle, in the blink of an eye, it's like you have changed into a different person, a drunkard turns into a fresh and clean person in a second!" At this moment, Shangguan Qingmeng no longer looked like the sloppy drunkard he had when he first arrived, and he was also quite different from the queen he usually imagined.

Xiao Chen looked at Shangguan Qingmeng in front of him, his expression slightly stunned, then he reacted and smiled: "You women are really fickle, in the blink of an eye, it's like you have changed into a different person, a drunkard turns into a fresh and clean person in a second!"
At this moment, Shangguan Qingmeng no longer looked like the sloppy drunkard he had when he first arrived, and he was also quite different from the queen he usually imagined.
Shangguan Qingmeng, wearing a light and elegant long dress, made her already noble temperament more approachable.
The combination of completely opposite temperaments in one person has elevated Shangguan Qingmeng's charm to several levels.
With a stunningly pretty face and a flawless figure, Shangguan Qingmeng and Yan Lingji are on par tonight. It turns out that makeup can improve one's appearance!
Xiao Chen's teasing did not cause any emotional change in Shangguan Qingmeng. After handing a jar of wine to Xiao Chen, she sat on the windowsill.
She took a sip of wine, then looked at the street where thousands of lights shone brightly and asked, "Is it really okay for you to come to my place to drink alone on your wedding night?"
Xiao Chen leaped up and sat down next to Shangguan Qingmeng, saying with a smile, "How many grooms have you ever seen being kicked out on their wedding night? Besides, I'm the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire. I can't go anywhere."
Shangguan Qingmeng turned her head slightly, looked at Xiao Chen's handsome profile, which was less than half a meter away from her, and suddenly laughed inexplicably.
Xiao Chen looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Shangguan Qingmeng shook his head and smiled, "I just think you're a really strange person. Sometimes you're so domineering that it's scary, and now you've encountered this strange thing of being kicked out of your boudoir by your own woman. It's really hard to understand."
Xiao Chen smiled and responded, "Domineering is always directed at the enemy. There's no need to be domineering when dealing with your own woman. Women are meant to be pampered!"
Shangguan Qingmeng paused slightly for a moment, then took a swig and said, "If every man could think like you, then perhaps there wouldn't be so many tragedies happening on the Tianluo Continent."
Xiao Chen did not dwell on this topic. The formation of rules in every world has its reasons. Xiao Chen cannot use his own standards to demand others. After all, he does not belong to this world.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing the Flower Picking Finger!"
"The Flower Picking Finger is one of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills. It has been modified by the Transmigraters Association and is now a top-grade Earth-level martial art."
Just as Xiao Chen was lost in thought, the system's prompt sounded in his mind. However, the item he drew this time was too useless. The Flower-Picking Finger Technique could easily allow the Sweeping Monk to memorize one, so was there any need for a lottery?
"System, continue with the random draw!"
Xiao Chen was helpless to get such a useless thing, so he decided to use up his last chance to draw a general!
After giving the system his instructions, Xiao Chen casually asked, "By the way, who is Ding Kuangsheng?"
Xiao Chen called out this name, which was like a nightmare to Shangguan Qingmeng, but Shangguan Qingmeng was only stunned for a moment and then returned to normal.
Xiao Chen asked in surprise, "Aren't you curious? How did I know the name Ding Kuangsheng?"
Shangguan Qingmeng shook his head and said, "What's so strange about this? Yan Lingji will tell you!"
Xiao Chen looked at her in surprise and said, "So you knew it a long time ago. You are really smart!"
Shangguan Qingmeng shook her head indifferently and said, "It's not about being smart or not. I'm just an ordinary woman with no cultivation. How could a Martial King stay by my side all day and not notice anything?"
That’s right, Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
Then he asked, "If it's convenient, could you tell me about this Ding Kuangsheng?"
Shangguan Qingmeng glanced at Xiao Chen, then suddenly asked anxiously, "Don't you blame me for hiding it from you? I might have brought you a great enemy."
Xiao Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Don't I have enough powerful enemies? Don't mention that I promised to protect your safety. Even if an ordinary citizen of the Great Zhou was attacked by outsiders within the Great Zhou territory, I would do my utmost to protect her. So there is nothing you can blame."
Shangguan Qingmeng smiled helplessly. She was speechless at Xiao Chen's incredible logic, but since she had already opened her heart, there was no need to hide it.
She swallowed a mouthful of bitter wine and said, "Ding Kuangsheng, the son of Ding Fang, the Palace Master of the Western Region Palace of the Human Emperor Palace. Ding Fang is one of the top ten masters of the Iron Blood Dynasty. The Ding family is the largest family in the Human Emperor Palace of the Iron Blood Dynasty. Although the Ding family is not one of the top ten families, its strength is not inferior to that of the royal family."
"Then how did you get involved with Ding Kuangsheng?"
Shangguan Qingmeng sneered mercilessly, "The Shangguan family is a family of merchants. They'll do anything for profit. Less than three months after I was born, several elders from the Ding family came to the Shangguan family with a mysterious marriage certificate for unknown reasons, proposing a marriage alliance with my family."
"The head of the Shangguan family, my dear uncle, was overjoyed to see the prestigious Ding family offer a marriage proposal and agreed. My mother tried to stop the marriage on the grounds that I was still young, but my uncle killed her with a single blow."
"But my father watched my mother die in front of him, and he didn't even say a word."
"Because my mother was born in a humble family. She was just an ordinary girl who was taken into the mansion by my father. She has no status in my father's heart."
"Sometimes I even think that even one of my father's demon pets is more important than my mother!"
Tears flowed freely on Shangguan Qingmeng's face, but she didn't wipe them away. The night wind messed up her three thousand black hairs, but she didn't tidy them up.
She just kept drinking.
Xiao Chen looked at Shangguan Qingmeng and sighed imperceptibly. What a pitiful person!
When he was three months old, his mother had passed away, and he had been burdened with the heavy shackles of arranged marriage ever since. It was no wonder that Shangguan Qingmeng rebelled.
Unfortunately, the entire Shangguan family is a cold cage to her, and no one will help her.
Perhaps this is why she came to Da Zhou and worked so hard to make money. She wanted to break free from the shackles through her own efforts and avoid her mother's fate.
But how could a weak woman fight against the most powerful family in the dynasty?
Although it is said that money can make the world go round, this is ultimately a world where the strong are respected. Money is always just an auxiliary factor, not a decisive factor.
Seeing Xiao Chen lost in thought, Shangguan Qingmeng said with a hint of self-mockery: "Why, are you angry because you heard that I have been lying to you?"
Xiao Chen came back to his senses and said, "I..."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a copy of the I Ching!"
"The Book of Changes, originating from the Huaxia world, was adapted by the Transmigraters Association and became a secret manual for astrologers."
"Grade: Unknown!"
