Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 577 - 330: The Emperor in Need of Discipline_3

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ze asked.

Miemie, sweating bullets after another failed attempt to steal the diary, quickly put her professional secret agent skills to use and came up with an idea.

Miemie: "Bringing you a gift."

Zhang Ze: "What gift?"

Miemie: "Cockroach."

Zhang Ze: "Where did you put it!?"

Seeing Zhang Ze lifting the quilt and looking everywhere, Miemie rolled onto the floor, kicked her legs, and ran out, not forgetting to make a funny face as she turned back.

Miemie: "Guess!"

Zhang Ze: "@#￥"

After this ruckus, Zhang Ze was fully awakened from his drunkenness. He got up, went to the desk, and opened the box that Xiao Qingyun had given him.

This time, the box was not filled with things like Taisui, but with a plethora of books.

All related to the Path of Artifact Refining, including many techniques from the Western Barbarians and the Demon Race, indicating that everything had been prepared beforehand.

After closing the box, he took out a diary from his pocket, and indeed, new words appeared on the fresh page.

"Xiao Qingyun, that big fool, really needs some guidance. He ran away just because of a story.

However, he did a good job by finding so many good books.

Looks like the coming days will be busy again.

Oh, and one more thing.

If I drink with Lu Chen again, I'm a dog."

Zhang Ze: "..."

Zhang Ze shook his head and tucked the diary back safely against his body.

Enough of that; time to study the Artifact Refining Art.

He casually pulled out a book from the box, opened the first page, and saw Xiao Qingyun's notes and annotations.

Surprisingly, they matched his character—delicate and neat, seemingly effeminate.

Zhang Ze flipped a few more pages and found that not only were there annotations, but there were also bookmarks.

All those bookmarks were Magical Artifacts, leaf-shaped; they would turn green when infused with Spiritual Qi.

Then detailed diagrams of the artifact's disassembly and specifics of the Refining Array would appear before Zhang Ze's eyes.

After picking up a few more books, he found they were all the same.

Zhang Ze: "This Emperor truly loves the Path of Artifact Refining. It's a shame he's wasted being an emperor."

——A dividing line for the Jade Book Tower prisoners——

Outside the Illusion Realm, Fried Shide in Thousand Mechanism Town.

Some are in jail, some are having fun, some are studying, some are partying.

No matter what else is going on, Fried Shide is buzzing with excitement tonight.

Today was a day off, and it just so happened that their Cat Lady Emperor got accepted to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's infant pre-school class with top grades, so these misfits found an excuse to start celebrating wildly.

The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's indiscriminate Immortal Cultivation open-source plan commenced as scheduled during Zhang Ze's playful stint in the Illusion Realm.

According to Zhang Ze's 'last words,' learners were temporarily classified into infant pre-school classes, primary enhancement classes, and middle school accelerated classes based on their aptitude.

They started by promoting some basic, easy stuff.

The Emperor stood on the table, her cat tail spinning like a whirlwind, guzzling alcohol while boasting about how she conquered one extraordinary five-year-old after another in the entrance examination.

"The final competitor was something else; he was five and a half after all, older, a cheater," the 28-year-old Cat Lady said, oblivious.

"That kid's mental math has reached the Transformation Realm, and his Thousand Machine Deduction has nearly touched the threshold of the Primary Realm.

"I made a silly mistake, lost thirty points to him while solving a few problems.

"But despite two rounds of defeat, as the saying goes, a desperate fight yields success. Thankfully, with my unrivaled talent, I surpassed that kid by 120 points in the Body Cultivator test!"

The Cat Lady rolled up her sleeves, showing off nonexistent muscles.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"The Emperor is mighty!"

The fellow demonic colleagues of the Cat Lady Emperor hoisted their glasses, celebrating the Emperor's first triumphant punch at the kindergarten competition.

Lily and Chen Qin were invited to the party; they sat in a corner, somewhat speechless at the wild scene in the hall.

Lily turned to find Chen Qin looking at her with an odd expression, sighed, and said, "Why are you looking at me? How would I know someone would shamelessly compete with kids."

"I wasn't talking about that. I was saying, do you think she really is... that Emperor?"

Chen Qin whispered.

Considering Zhang Ze's experiences in the Illusion Realm, many things became dubious.

"Doesn't seem like it. It's said that the founding Emperor was truly a one-in-a-million genius, a master of a thousand crafts. If he were reincarnated, he'd be a genius on par with our leader.

"How could he fall to such a state of greeting guests by day and competing with five-year-olds in exams?

"Plus, even if reincarnated, it should be me, right? My intelligence as Lily the Great Emperor isn't something to scoff at."

Chen Qin thought about it and agreed. She ignored Lily's self-proclaimed Emperor comment and asked, "Then why does she keep calling herself the Emperor every day?"

Bai Tao, who was wrapping a pancake, raised her head upon hearing this.

She finished spreading the taro puree and hot sauce on the chicken leg and wrapping it in the pancake before answering.

"Probably just a symptom; this kind of illness is common among our Demon Race.

"For instance, my godfather renamed himself the Silver-Handed Emperor recently.

"If you stroll through the Demon Race cities behind the Northern Territory Wall, you'll meet seven emperors, eight consorts, and nine crown princes in a day."

"Is it a hereditary disease or an infectious one?" Lily asked curiously.

"Neither," Bai Tao shook her head, "it's just because the Northern Territory is too cold and too peaceful. Everyone is bored out of their minds, so they find ways to entertain themselves."

After saying this, Bai Tao noticed Chen Qin was eyeing her pancake. She added,

"I'm just bored too; otherwise, why would I eat such a thing?"

Chen Qin: "..."

While the three were talking, the Emperor came up with new antics.

Perhaps because she was too drunk or it was her true nature, she began taking off her clothes, claiming she would perform a pole dance.

However, after removing one piece and almost exposing herself, several threads of spider silk shot down from the second floor, wrapping up the Cat Lady tight.

"Looks like you need some discipline!"

The manager of Fried Shide, Fourth Lady, leaned against the railing and with a wave, pulled the Cat Lady up to the second floor.

She then dragged her away into the depths of the second-floor corridor.

Though the main character, the Emperor, was taken away for 'training,' the 'ministers' continued feasting and drinking, shifting their celebration to the fact that the moon was particularly round tonight.

Listening to the Emperor's whimpers while being dragged away, Lily sighed, intending to play with a small walnut for a while before heading back to rest.

This kind of demonic party was a bit too noisy for her.

Just as she picked up the small walnut, she found a message from Fuji.

"Quick, come lulu! There's a new discovery with the Human Emperor Banner!"
