She had to take measures to deal with Qiao Xiaoxian, who could appear in her bed at any moment.
The safest way was to never sleep or enter a cultivation state… but that was impossible. That would just be a slow death.
Only if her strength surpassed Qiao Xiaoxian’s could she obtain true freedom.
Not practicing was essentially giving up for nothing.
Even if Qiao Xiaoxian did not appear in her bed, she could be knocked out and dragged into Qiao Xiaoxian’s bed at any time.
If that happened, the outcome would be even more miserable.
Therefore, she needed an environment where she could practice peacefully, and at the same time, she needed a powerful backer.
A backer so powerful that Qiao Xiaoxian would not dare harbor any crooked thoughts!
‘But… where can I find such a backer?’
Jiang Ke’er grew more worried the more she thought about it.
A powerhouse on her side, like Li Yuan, was not suitable.
With Qiao Xiaoxian’s cunning, she could fool her own people with just a couple of words.
Besides, she was too embarrassed to explain the situation to Li Yuan.
The target had to be Qiao Xiaoxian’s enemy—the kind of mortal enemy with whom reconciliation was absolutely impossible!
The Tribulation Immortal Hall? They were elusive, and their killing intent toward her was even greater than it was toward Qiao Xiaoxian.
If her identity were exposed, her fate would likely be more miserable than falling into Qiao Xiaoxian’s hands!
The high-level officials of the Human Clan? That difficulty was moderate, but she would have to climb to an extremely high position to obtain protection.
Otherwise, she would just be working for nothing. Moreover, there were not many opportunities.
Jiang Ke’er sighed as she sat on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, she heard a conversation between Lingyin Valley disciples passing by the door.
“Did you hear? The new Emperor is going to select concubines!”
“That Prince Hao of Qin? He has only been settled for a few days, and he is already selecting concubines? The corruption is far too obvious!”
“After all, most of Emperor Jing’s concubines were left in Jiangdu and couldn’t be taken away in time. For high-ranking officials accustomed to luxury, they probably cannot adapt to a life without beautiful women around them…”
“That’s possible.”
‘Wait!’
‘Mwahahaha! The opportunity is here!’
Jiang Ke’er suppressed the wild urge to throw her head back and laugh, and she began to analyze calmly.
‘That’s right! This is the perfect chance to escape Qiao Xiaoxian! This moment that I’ve been waiting for so long has finally arrived!’
Who was the enemy Qiao Xiaoxian could never persuade?
The Human Clan!
Where was the safest place for the Human Clan?
The Royal Palace!
Whose leg was the thickest in the Royal Palace?
The Emperor!
Who did the Emperor care about most?
His harem!
If anyone dared to target the Emperor’s harem, they obviously wouldn’t know how to spell the word ‘death’!
‘Ahahaha! You bastard Qiao Xiaoxian, come on! Come and face me! Come and make a cuckold out of the Emperor!’
‘Do you even dare?’
The more Jiang Ke’er thought about it, the more she felt that this was a God-given opportunity.
She dreamed of getting rid of Qiao Xiaoxian… and she absolutely could not miss such a golden chance!
Moreover, it was not as if every Concubine had to sleep with the Emperor; it mostly depended on luck.
Most concubines would use any means necessary to compete for the chance to serve the Emperor because gaining his favor meant wealth and prestige.
Therefore, as long as she did the opposite, stayed low-key, hid in the harem to cultivate, and remained an invisible person who didn’t attract the Emperor’s attention, she would not have to worry about giving up her body to serve him.
When that time came, the entire Royal Palace would be a perfect and safe Training Ground for her!
Just thinking about it felt amazing!
Taking action was one of Jiang Ke’er’s best qualities.
She pushed the door open with a bang and rushed out, heading straight for Jiangdu City.
She wanted to discuss this matter in detail with Li Yuan.
After all, if she was going to infiltrate the enemy from within, she couldn’t afford to waste a single Resource.
Before she had lost consciousness earlier, she had been lamenting the importance of an Underground Worker and longing to become one to contribute to the Demon Race.
There was no reason to pass up an opportunity to do so in passing.
“This is indeed a good method, and a decent opportunity,” Li Yuan said, expressing his approval of Jiang Ke’er’s idea.
Receiving the approval of a big shot made Jiang Ke’er even more determined.
“However, at this particular juncture, the other side will certainly conduct a strict investigation of the candidates. This greatly increases the difficulty of your infiltration,” Li Yuan said with a frown.
“With the help of the Disguise Technique and some secret maneuvering, I should be able to solve the identity issue,” Jiang Ke’er replied, having already devised a plan.
“Well, although the identity issue is troublesome, it is not difficult to solve… It’s just that the selection of concubines in the court is very strict. In addition to passing the appearance check, one must also be outstanding in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and be well-mannered to be admitted into the palace.”
“That is also a small matter. I am from Lingyin Valley, so my Music is passable, and I know a little about painting,” Jiang Ke’er said confidently.
“Of course, the most important thing is your appearance,” Li Yuan said.
“Your beauty and temperament go without saying. If you do not deliberately make yourself ugly, no one in all of Shenzhou can compare to you. This is your advantage. When the time comes, you must use it well and get as close to Prince Hao of Qin as possible.”
“I have to get close?” Jiang Ke’er frowned. This did not match her plan.
“You must gain Prince Hao of Qin’s trust. If possible, it would be best to make his Spiritual Soul fall for you completely. The more obsessed he is with you, the better. Only then can you spy on the core secrets of the enemy,” Li Yuan explained.
“This…”
Jiang Ke’er fell into a state of hesitation.
However, she grit her teeth and steeled her heart. “Fine, I will try my best!”
Since she wanted to become a qualified Underground Worker, she had to make some sacrifices.
Of course, this sacrifice would not be her body; she would flee if things looked bad.
Her goal was to charm the other party without giving herself up…
This was highly difficult, but Jiang Ke’er already had a plan and felt she could try it.
Moreover, she had to do this.
She had to act as a qualified Underground Worker to receive Li Yuan’s help in forging her identity and completing her plan to escape Qiao Xiaoxian.
“This is truly unfair to you.” Li Yuan really couldn’t bear to let Jiang Ke’er continue with this plan.
“Forget it. Others can do this. There is no need for you to make such a great sacrifice… The Demon Race already owes you too much.”
“Don’t worry, I will protect myself. I definitely won’t sacrifice anything,” Jiang Ke’er promised.
She already had a general idea. In short… wasn’t it just a matter of dancing on the edge of being bedded?
Could that Emperor be more formidable than Qiao Xiaoxian? To escape Qiao Xiaoxian and obtain a safe haven for cultivation, these risks were worth it!
She would give it her all!
“Sigh.” Li Yuan looked at Jiang Ke’er with heartache. This man of iron had tears beginning to glimmer in his eyes.
What a wonderful girl!
“Then, I will start arranging your identity.” Seeing Jiang Ke’er’s firm attitude, Li Yuan stopped trying to persuade her.
He simply worked hard to keep his tears of emotion and heartache from falling.
“There’s really no need to worry. I already have a plan.”
She really did have a plan!
This time, she would go all out and display her most soul-stirring and irresistible side to the world!
She would be a textbook femme fatale!
She would make the Emperor fall completely, until she was the only one in his eyes and he yearned for her day and night!
The more it was like that, the more he would follow her every word, and the less he would dare to move against her rashly!
She was simply a Genius!
