I’m Leveling Up Too Quickly

Chapter 22: This Emperor Was Also Helpless

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After transmigrating, it was so difficult. This was something Zhu Wuyang had never expected.

He remembered that in the transmigration dramas and novels he had seen on Earth, once the protagonist transmigrated, he would often be able to reach the peak of his life. He would be able to drink and write a hundred poems, become rich with just a thought, and even become a great calamity for the myriad races, making the myriad worlds tremble under his feet.

However, Zhu Wuyang was different. Ever since he transmigrated, he had been hiding under the blanket and did not dare to run around. If someone recorded it as a novel, after writing dozens of chapters, Zhu Wuyang was still under the blanket and did not even leave his bedroom. He was simply a coward.

Do you still want to earn money or not? Are you trying to die?

However, that was the truth. Zhu Wuyang was not the protagonist of a third-rate novel who did not have a brain at all. He still had a certain level of intelligence.

Since he had encountered such a f*cked-up system like the Extraordinary Encounters System, what else could he do other than hide under the blanket? Could he run out to wander around and obtain a lot of breakthrough points? When his strength kept increasing, and his true strength was discovered and reported to the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu. Would he be rewarded with a cup of poisonous wine or three feet of silk to hang himself with?

Zhu Wuyang was not so stupid. He naturally had to be afraid when it was time to be afraid.

However, when Zhu Wuyang successfully passed this hurdle, it would be time for him to wreak havoc.

The Extraordinary Encounters System looked quite f*cked-up now, but without the restriction of the special environment, it was also a cultivation treasure that could allow Zhu Wuyang’s strength to soar at a terrifying speed.

At that time, Zhu Wuyang would definitely think of ways to do some special things that he had never done before, things that could leave a deep impression on him, things that had a particularly great influence… He would obtain a huge amount of breakthrough points and increase his strength at an astonishing speed.

Hiding and pretending to be afraid now was all for the sake of the future!

When Zhu Wuyang fell into a nightmare again, the protagonist of Zhu Wuyang’s nightmares had just finished cultivating.

Zhu Zhenwu’s back was as wide as a tiger’s, and his waist was as thick as a bear’s. He was tall and burly, and his height was nearly two meters. Just by standing there, he gave off a mighty feeling.

His Heavenly Tiger Internal Force had once suppressed the monarchs of several countries and he was known as the strongest Emperor of the Jiu Zhao Nation in the past hundreds of years.

However, this former pride of the Jiu Zhao Nation had now become the nightmare of all the Princes and Princesses. The domineering aura on his body was replaced by wisps of strange and gloomy aura. Just standing near him made one feel a chill.

It was said that the reason for this was because Zhu Zhenwu wanted to take a step further and so cultivated an evil cultivation technique. As a result, he became crazy, suspicious, jealous, and incapable. Compared to when he was young, he was like a different person.

Not to mention the Princes and Princesses, even the concubines of the Imperial Harem did not dare to come to Zhu Zhenwu’s place easily. Therefore, the Qianqing Palace that Zhu Zhenwu stayed in had always been sparsely populated.

At this moment, there was only a trusted eunuch, Zhu Jinzong, accompanying Zhu Zhenwu. The other maidservants and guards were all outside. If Zhu Zhenwu had nothing for them to do, they basically wouldn’t come over.

“Have those Princes and Princesses done anything out of line in the past two days?”

The first thing he did after his seclusion was to ask about the Princes and Princesses’ movements. It could be seen how much Zhu Zhenwu paid attention to them.

Zhu Jinzong lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty, the Princes didn’t do anything overboard. It’s just that something happened to the Crown Prince.”

“What did Wuyang do?” Zhu Zhenwu raised his eyebrows, his voice slightly cold.

Zhu Jinzong said, “According to the news from the Crown Prince’s Palace, the Crown Prince set himself on fire in his chamber yesterday morning. Fortunately, the heavens blessed him. The Crown Prince woke up in time and came out of the sea of fire. In the end, he only burned the thousand-year-old incense wooden bed in his chamber.”

“Self-immolation?” Zhu Zhenwu was stunned. “This cowardly fool. Isn’t he just a Crown Prince? He can’t even withstand this little pressure. He’s really disappointing.”

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been alone since he was young. His grandparents don’t have much ability, and his mother passed away early. He has always been cautious in the Palace. It’s said that in the past, he even had to do the washing and cooking himself occasionally, so it’s inevitable that he would think too much and do some inappropriate things,” Zhu Jinzong explained.

“Heh…” Zhu Zhenwu sneered. “Thinking too much is a good way to put it. Zhu Wuyang saw that something had happened to the Crown Princes in front of him, so he felt that it was difficult for him to escape death. That’s why he was so frightened that he burned himself. Little Zongzi, don’t you think so?”

Zhu Jinzong: “This…”

“You don’t dare to say it!” Zhu Zhenwu glanced at Zhu Jinzong.

Zhu Jinzong hurriedly knelt down. “This old servant has no such intentions. Your Majesty is wise.”

“They’re all thinking too much. If not for the fact that some of the Princes and Princesses had ill intentions when they saw that something had happened to my cultivation and my body was aging day by day, I wouldn’t have casually attacked those children.” Zhu Zhenwu sighed. “I was helpless as well. I can’t just let those b*stard fellows stay in the Palace forever and disturb the order of the Jiu Zhao Nation. It’s better for them to leave early.”

Zhu Jinzong echoed, “Your Majesty is right.”

“However, I also know that this move will cause turmoil in the court, so I fulfilled the wishes of many people and promoted Wuyang to the position of Crown Prince.” Zhu Zhenwu said, “Compared to those arrogant Crown Princes, Wuyang is obedient and sensible, and he’s not involved with any forces. As the Crown Prince, I don’t have to worry about him having any thoughts, so there’s no need for him to be afraid that I’ll punish him casually.”

“After dawn, go and take a look at Wuyang for me. Reveal my intentions to him and let him be the Crown Prince in peace. Don’t let his imagination run wild. As long as he’s safe and sound, I won’t punish him.”

Zhu Jinzong lowered his head and said, “I understand. I’ll go to the Crown Prince’s place at dawn.”

Zhu Zhenwu nodded. After thinking for a moment, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote a few words before handing it to Zhu Jinzong. “While you’re at it, give this to Wuyang and let him know my intentions.”

Zhu Jinzong received it respectfully and then served Zhu Wuyang to rest. As they walked, an aura belonging to a Xiantian Realm expert rippled.

As one of Zhu Zhenwu’s most loyal eunuchs, Zhu Jinzong’s strength had long broken through to the Late-stage Xiantian realm. However, a few years ago, in order to save Zhu Zhenwu, who was surrounded by assassins, he used a forbidden secret technique. Although he successfully killed the assassins, his strength had also decreased greatly.

Even so, Zhu Jinzong was still an Early-stage Xiantian expert right now. With his Xiantian Inner Qi surging, he could see through everything and erupt with astonishing combat strength.

Zhu Wuyang’s Azure Dragon Concealment Art was only at the Lesser Mastery stage, so it was very difficult to hide from Zhu Jinzong’s detection.

Once Zhu Jinzong found out about Zhu Wuyang’s true strength, as Zhu Zhenwu’s trusted aide, Zhu Jinzong would definitely inform him about this.

At that time, Zhu Wuyang would not be able to escape death easily!
