My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Zhihai listened to Qin Beifeng’s words, his face slightly startled, then a series of changes passed over it, flickers of worry incessant.

Instinctively he wanted to refute and say something.

But in the end, he said nothing.

After Cheng Guang entered the Secret Realm, he was even calmer than him.

He seemed to be thoroughly prepared for everything.

Perhaps Cheng Guang really knew more about this Secret Realm than he did.

At this moment Cheng Zhihai himself also knew that he couldn’t help Cheng Guang much; in the Secret Realm, Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm warriors, although ranked first under Sky-Man,

were at best considered just a slightly stronger ant among a congregation of Sky-Men in the Secret Realm.

They were nothing special at all.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Cheng Guang walked slowly into the shrine; as soon as he entered, the entire space seemed to boil over.

Every place Cheng Guang passed, the air vibrated wildly, waves of air spreading all around.

Cheng Guang couldn’t see those Mysterious Bugs, but his expression was calm and composed, without the slightest change.

People around, seeing Cheng Guang unharmed, and the shrine’s airwaves becoming a bit more intense, but not like Yuan Wuxie earlier, being gnawed at by some unknown presence, felt a rise of surprise and uncertainty.

And at this time, Cheng Guang.

In the beautiful eyes of Empress Wei, he was presenting another scene.

In fine brocade clothes, Cheng Guang stepped leisurely into an incalculable swarm of bugs.

The Worms, on seeing Cheng Guang approach, instinctively rushed at him.

But just as they made contact with Cheng Guang, before they could even open their mouths, as if they had smelled something, many Worms immediately let out a scream, their thick, white bodies trembling non-stop, exuding an aura of fear all over.

And without enough time for further reaction, they hastily retreated in panic.

"This... "

"These Worms are actually so afraid of the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir???"

Empress Wei, watching this scene, was somewhat stupefied for a moment, already somewhat unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes.

Even as a Sky-Man, she was quite fearful of these mysterious Worms.

It was evident how troublesome these Worms were.

Empress Wei had thought she was close to perishing in the Underworld.

Yet she hadn’t expected that Cheng Guang, this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, actually had a means to deal with these Worms!

In Empress Wei’s beautiful eyes, a glimmer of vitality emerged.

Her exquisite face turned towards Cheng Guang, deciding to seek his help.

After hesitating for a moment, Empress Wei’s red lips moved slightly, lowering her status, she said to Cheng Guang:

"Town-Nation Duke’s Heir of Great Zhou, I remember you."

"You should be able to sense the presence of the bugs around us."

"Save me and get out, and I can promise you everything you want." Find more chapters on empire

Empress Wei spoke slowly, her voice indescribably pleasant.

Even in requesting help from Cheng Guang, her words sounded more like a transaction; she lowered herself, but not by much.

After all, she was still an empress of a nation, among the four major dynasties, the ruler of the Great Wei, far outranking the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir like Cheng Guang in status and position.

To be able to speak in such a way now was quite rare for Empress Wei.

Empress Wei’s gaze was fixed on Cheng Guang, she originally thought that after her words were spoken, Cheng Guang would agree to rescue her.

But what Empress Wei didn’t expect was that Cheng Guang, after hearing her words, merely glanced in her direction.

Then he simply ignored her, his gaze falling on the distant shrine’s offering table.

At this time, Cheng Guang had no interest in dealing with Empress Wei.

Even if Empress Wei was very beautiful, he was not a man swayed by looks.

Rescuing Empress Wei didn’t offer much advantage; what she promised might well be an empty check.

Even if it wasn’t an empty check.

Cheng Guang didn’t care.

Great Wei was near destitute.

After all, he was the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir of Great Zhou, with access to resources that might well exceed those of the Empress of Great Wei.

Who was richer than whom was still up for debate.

If there was no significant benefit, that was fine, but in Cheng Guang’s view, the key point was that there might be quite a lot of drawbacks afterwards.

After weighing pros and cons, Cheng Guang did not respond to Empress Wei and walked straight to the offering table to examine the offerings.

There were three jade plates placed upon it.

The plates’ material was crystal clear, having gone through who knows how many years, yet still slightly glossy, just covered in a thick layer of dust.

Cheng Guang gave the plates a cursory glance and focused his attention mainly on the contents of the plates.

The first plate contained several pills.

The surfaces of these pills were traced with intricate patterns, faintly emitting a golden light; getting closer, one could still smell a remnant of the fragrance of the pills.

These pills actually seemed to still be useful.

However, having been eroded by the years, most of the pills had lost ninety percent of their efficacy.

Cheng Guang collected the pills along with the plate into his storage ring, then turned his attention to the White jade rice and a bowl of water nearby.

That White jade rice. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At first glance, they looked like crystal clear grains of rice, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these grains seemed to have some rough patterns and wrinkles on them.

They were actually in the shape of bugs.

All these grains were actually bugs???

Cheng Guang picked up the teacup, just about to examine a "grain" more closely, but found that as he gently pinched the "grain" with his finger, it gave a faint tremor.
