I Just Won't Play By The Book

263 Fickle (1) [Mission completed. Reward: Psychic +1]

“Psychic?”

Jiang Beiran was shocked. It had been six years since he had come to the Mystery Dragon Continent, but this was the first time he had obtained this special attribute point.

It really gave him the feeling of an old tree blooming with new flowers.

‘I didn’t expect the special attribute points to have even deeper potential…’

Compared to the Attribute Points and Normal Skill Points, the number of Special Attribute Points that could be triggered was very few. However, the last time a new Special Attribute Point was discovered was three years ago, and the Special Attribute Point that was obtained was [Concealment]. It was just that Jiang Beiran didn’t need to do things in secret most of the time, so this Special Attribute Point had never been shining brightly.

Just like the other Special Attribute Points that could enhance one’s strength, they were all included in Jiang Beiran’s [Future] list.

The new special attribute point that had appeared now, if one understood it from the literal meaning, there was a high chance that it could communicate with souls, but it could also be summoning spiritual beasts or something like that. After all, his style had always been different from this world. It was very reasonable for him to casually summon a toad.

However, Jiang Beiran still hoped for the former. If he could talk to the soul, he could solve many cases that were originally impossible to prove with just a casual question. It was quite convenient.

On the other side, Deng Xianghan, who had heard Jiang Beiran say,”Let me think about it”, felt much more at ease.

As long as the new Emperor was willing to consider joining the Liang Country, it would be great news for her. After all, this was her only chance to save her life and turn things around.

Thinking of this, Deng Xianghan made a wish and said,””I hope the emperor will make a decision soon. After all, I don’t know how long I can stay by the emperor’s side.”

Jiang Beiran, who was thinking about the special attribute of [Psychic], couldn’t help but glare at Deng Xianghan when he heard this.””Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Sensing Jiang Beiran’s sharp gaze, Deng Xianghan couldn’t help but tremble. However, she still maintained a calm posture and bowed,””This concubine did not have such intentions. This concubine only…”

“Do you think that you have already controlled me?”

Deng Xianghan was halfway through her sentence when Jiang Beiran interrupted her.

“I…”

Just as Deng Xianghan was about to explain, Jiang Beiran suddenly took a step forward, forcing Deng Xianghan to take a step back.

“Do you feel that you have no choice but to ask for help?”

Because the current Jiang Beiran was like a completely different person from before, Deng Xianghan couldn’t figure out what the Emperor was up to.

Before Deng Xianghan could figure out what was going on, Jiang Beiran took another step forward and forced Deng Xianghan against the wall. At the same time, he slapped her hard on the side of her head.

Looking at Deng Xianghan, whose breathing was gradually becoming rapid, Jiang Beiran stared at her and said,””Don’t think too highly of yourself, and don’t be too self-righteous. Between the two of us, only Zhen can give orders, do you understand?”

Deng Xianghan, who was being stared at by Jiang Beiran, swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She was surprised that she had lost her composure. The man in front of her was as terrifying as Yin Jianghong when he completely exploded his aura.

‘No…Or even more terrifying.

The new Emperor in front of her only had one look, but she felt an overwhelming pressure that she had never experienced before.

“Concubine…I will obey the imperial edict.”

At this moment, Deng Xianghan understood that the new emperor in front of her didn’t need her explanation, only her obedience.

“If you dare to act rashly without my permission, I will let you understand what it means to…It’s too late for regrets!”

“I wouldn’t dare. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.”

“That’s more like it.” Jiang Beiran smiled and reached out to brush away the golden dust that had landed on her shoulder from the impact of the palm strike.” Now, we can continue to discuss our next collaboration.”

Looking at Jiang Beiran’s friendly smile, Deng Xianghan, who had realized that the pressure had disappeared, felt as if she had just been fished out of the water. For a moment, she almost lost her balance.

However, when she saw Jiang Beiran waving at her from the dragon couch, Deng Xianghan forced herself to walk over.

Seeing Deng Xianghan standing in front of him, Jiang Beiran smiled and asked,””Miss Deng, how old are you?”

“It will be peach and plum next spring.”

‘Almost twenty?

Jiang Beiran was a little confused. He had thought that Deng Xianghan was at most 28 years old, but she was already 19 years old.

Realizing that Deng Xianghan was already nineteen, Jiang Beiran glanced at her chest with regret. He thought she and Muyao would have a lot to talk about.

Deng Xianghan could sense Jiang Beiran’s gaze. Although she did not quite understand why Jiang Beiran’s face was filled with disappointment, she still felt a little unhappy…Of course, she did not dare to show her displeasure.

“What a pity.” Jiang Beiran sighed.” With your body, it’s probably impossible for you to seduce me with your body. It’s peaceful now.””

Deng Xianghan, who had thought that Jiang Beiran would ask her about Liang, felt her back sway a little. She was a little shy, but she still replied respectfully,””I have let Your Majesty down with my looks, please forgive me.”

“It seems that your father must have not given you anything good to eat when you were young, which is why you are so thin.”

“The meals in the palace are all served by the eunuchs. They are all delicacies from mountains and seas and are very greasy.”

Sensing that Deng Xianghan didn’t show much emotion when he mentioned her father, Jiang Beiran asked,””Does your father usually talk to you like this?”

Deng Xianghan nodded.”

“What are we talking about?”

Deng Xianghan glanced at Jiang Beiran after hearing that. She wanted to say something but hesitated.

“It’s okay. Today, I’ll let you speak freely. There’s no need to worry about too many rules.”

Deng Xianghan pondered for a moment and replied,”Father is good at music. Sometimes, he would pull me along to play a song. Sometimes, he would go to the backyard to fly a kite. Sometimes…They will talk about important matters of the country.”

” It sounds like Deng Bo dotes on his daughter.’

After creating a casual atmosphere, Jiang Beiran continued to ask,””You also know about the affairs of the country?”

“I know a little. Most of the time, I just sit by the side and listen to my father.”

“What did you hear? Tell me about it.”

“Your Majesty…What do you want to hear?”

“Just casually chatting is fine. You don’t have to be too reserved.”

“Then please let me recall for a moment.”

“Alright, you’re full of memories. I’m not in a hurry. We have plenty of time today.”

Elsewhere, in the study, Muyao, who was in no mood to read, grabbed Kong Qianqian, who was blowing air at her handwriting, and asked,””How many chapters?”
