Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

"Ah! Official sir..."

The entire room was filled with gentle shouts and scented smells.

Xu Que had never expected himself to ever be shoved so violently this way before. Are you kidding? You dare to push me? Let me show you the powers of the little Act Tough King who managed to do it seven times in one night!

"Tah! Eat my rod!"

Xu Que overturned the situation as he decided to be more forceful and dominant. Soon after, the sounds of Madam Ya’s soft moans could be heard...

This was a night where the naughty acts of love making was accomplished!

All the injustice and unfairness which Madam Ya kept to herself over the past few decades of her life was finally released all at one go tonight.

This night, the blessings and protection of the Fire God upon the Fire Nation which had been around for thousands of years, was finally broken!

When morning arrived, drops of rain landed gently outside the windows and onto the lush green grass. Xu Que opened his eyes, feeling immensely satisfied. It’s been a long time since he last slept so peacefully.

He looked at Madam Ya who was cradled in his arms and couldn’t help but recall the crazy night he had. Who would’ve expected that the pipa along with the song he played would be so effective because of his Four Star Musician talent?

Madam Ya was supposed to be married off to the Fire God. Just thinking about this fact made Xu Que pause in shock. Did he just make a cuckold out of the Fire God?

However, when he saw that time was passing by quickly, he realized that he had something important to do today. He had already gathered the tears from Madam Ya and... had to settle scores with the dog Emperor. He wanted to capture the Fire Emperor and extract his damned blood.

"Sleep peacefully! When you do wake up, everything will no longer be the same!"

He then gently touched Madam Ya’s pitiful looking face as Xu Que slowly got up. He wore his clothes and felt a sense of reluctance in leaving Madam Ya’s residence.

However, as the Act Tough King of this generation, how could he possibly not do what he has to over his feelings for a woman?

Acting tough was the only career in this life which one was able to make it big.

Xu Que stuck out his chest and walked out of Madam Ya’s room proudly.

At this point, the sun was shining brightly down upon the lands. The green grass and colorful flowers were in full bloom. It was a good day.

Xu Que walked to the exit of Madam Ya’s domains and was about to gather his soul strength so as to walk through the protective spells, when he overheard two men having a conversation.

When he turned his head to look, he saw a pair of Original Infant guards. They are squating down beside the door and was probably guarding it to ensure that nobody would come or leave this area. They were also speaking very loudly.

"We’ve had so many problems as of late. First, the Prince Consort returned for revenge. Next, the Heavenly Explosion Faction decided to rob the Imperial Tombs!"

"This was probably thoroughly planned out. Do you remember who showed up before the Prince Consort did? It was Li Bai. This Heavenly Explosion Faction is quite a big deal. Everyone of their disciples are so powerful and heroic!"

"And yet their talents were of much use. After the Emperor gave the decree to seek Li Bai out, he vanished into thin air. Even the Prince Consort has disappeared. Today, Zhang Qi Ling entered the Imperial Tombs. It seems like he’s most likely dead as well!"

"That’s true. Looks like the cost of disgracing the Fire Emperor was to lose a disciple and the other two have probably fled into exile!"

"But today is the day the Water Empress will visit our city. Hence, the security is very tight throughout the entire city. It’s probably out of fear that one of these disciples from the Heavenly Explosion Faction would show up today and cause trouble!"

"But that’s not likely. Even the commoners had been ordered not to leave their houses. Even the merchants and people selling food down by the streets are all imperial guards in disguise!"

"That’s a shame. Seems like we won’t have any chance of meeting the Empress. It’s been said that she is both beautiful and intimidating at the same time, with all the elegance of an Empress!"

"Haha! But if anyone from Heavenly Explosion Faction decides to come today to cause problems, they would almost certainly be trapped and would find it hard to flee!"

"That’s for sure. When that happens, the Empress had to act in defense of the Fire Nation. Along with our Emperor, even 10 Xu Ques won’t be of any use!"

The pair of the Imperial Guards were by the side laughing and sniggering.

Xu Que glared at them before walking past them from behind. He had a cold smile etched on his face, "Is that so? 10 Xu Ques wouldn’t be of any use?"

"Eh?"

"Who are you?"

Both the imperial guards’ faces fell as they turned around swiftly.

Xu Que didn’t even waste time speaking. He punched both of them squarely in the face without a second’s hesitation!

"Pow pow!"

These Imperial Guards didn’t even have a chance to react and fell to the ground, knocked unconscious.

If he was an ordinary cultivator, doing something like that was impossible. However, Xu Que had already acquired two different elements and channeled both to full completion. His physical body was extremely tough so the force from these punches was extremely powerful and was equivalent to a very strong spell.

The force from these punches felt like two mountains crashing down on their faces. It was also fortunate for these guards that they were of the Original Infant Stage. If not, their brains would probably have exploded!

"What Water Empress or Fire Emperor? Whichever monarch comes, I shall claim them all the same way!"

Xu Que clapped his hands once and glared at the pair of unconscious guards sternly. Just as he was about to step over their bodies, he saw a flash of light. When he looked closely, he realized that it was the reflection of a pair of command tiles hanging from their waists.

Guards will be disguised as merchants?

"Hehe... this is going to be fun!" Xu Que laughed as he waved a hand in the air. Instantly, both their command tiles were sucked into his palms.

Soon after, he conjured several spells and took of the imperial guard’s uniform and wore it. He then used his core water energy and formed a water snake, bounding them both. He then lifted the pair of them and dumped them into a storage room.

Before he left, he even decided to add another enchantment to ensure that nobody would find them and it would also prevent them from escaping.

When he had finished all this, Xu Que transformed his appearance into that of an Imperial Guard. The tile which he wore on his waist had the word "Ban" on it. As he walked, it swung and hit his legs.

However, he still had to spend another 20 act tough points in order to alter his appearance.

He purchased a normal Human Skinned Mask and equipped it. At this point, he realized that he no longer looked handsome or charming. Instead, he wore a very normal face!

As he walked along the streets, he realized that everywhere was empty and quiet.

The entire population of commoners were expressly forbidden from leaving their homes. The Imperial City thus looked unusually empty!

However, along the main road leading up to the city was a completely different sight. This road was very broad and was filled with lively sounds. Lanterns were hung along the sides of the streets.

This was the large road which the Water Empress would be welcomed on.

Many hawkers and stall keepers were running their usual businesses and canvassing for sales. Several Imperial Guards were also patrolling the area.

Most of the people present had looks of excitement and eagerness on their faces. It was like they weren’t in the least worried that someone from Heavenly Explosion Faction would show up!

There was another group of people around who had cautious looks across their faces. They examined their surroundings regularly, afraid that troublemakers would show up and expose their rouse.

Xu Que looked at these group of people and laughed out mockingly. "This dog Emperor really knows how to have fun. He actually gathered a group of Imperial Guards and made them stall keepers and merchants. I wonder what technique he used to hide all their cultivation levels. Was he waiting for me to show up before springing a surprise on me?"

Xu Que had to admit that this was quite a good plan.

Each of these fake merchants and stall keepers were all of the Original Infant Stage and were experienced fighters. Concealing their cultivation levels and making them appear to be normal civilians was a very good plan, for most cultivators won’t even spare a second glance at civilians, and wouldn’t expect them to be able to fight. If something were to happen here, these merchants would immediately spring into action.

Thankfully, Xu Que had seen through the ploys and was smiling in happiness. He was trying to find an opportunity to join up with the rest of the Imperial Guards!

Right at this point, one of the Imperial Guard leaders turned to look at Xu Que and walked over. He was frowning as he spoke, "Hey, you! Why are you daydreaming? Come over here. We need two more people as merchants. You and I would have to play the part. Go and get dressed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader then handed a roughspun tunic to Xu Que. He then pointed at a stall selling pork, "You shall pretend to sell pork later on."

Fuck.

Xu Que opened his eyes wide as if to say, "I’m such a good looking lad and you actually assigned me a position as a butcher?"

However, when he touched his face which bore the Human Skinned Mask, Xu Que then turned around and started changing into his outfit. He grabbed a butcher’s knife and walked over to his post.

It wasn’t because he felt that this mask he donned resembled a butcher. The reason he went along with the plan was because he wanted to find a way to have fun with the Fire Emperor and play along with his games.

"You diguised your guards as merchants to trick me? Heheh... then I shall pretend to be a merchant and kill you! This seems like a good plan!"

Xu Que was now disguised as a butcher and hid in the crowd, waiting for the appearance of the Fire Emperor and humiliate him once again with his own plan!

Come on, quickly come then, you dumb Fire Emperor!

My butcher’s blade is getting impatient to have a taste of your blood!

Your ancestors are also excited for you to meet me that they’re all dancing in excitement!

The more Xu Que thought about what was to happen, the more excited he became. This was a great acting tough opportunity!

"Wnggggg!"

Right at this point, the sound of a horn blared out from the city gates.

Everyone turned their heads to look across.

A eunuch was riding on horseback as he entered the city. He was holding tightly onto the reins as he shouted, "The arrival of the Water Empress along with the magnificent Fire Emperor!"
