Chapter 73
Ye Piaoling was so happy she could practically fly. She hurriedly packed the manual away, hopped onto her electric scooter, and raced home.
The only problem was that the manual was as thick as a dictionary. It would probably take a long time to master…
In her bedroom, Ye Piaoling lit the lamps and candles.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she stared at the thick textbook in her hands, and her smile gradually turned deranged.
“None of them know how I died in my last life. When I start grinding, even I scare myself. Kekeke…”
Starting tonight, she was pulling all-nighters!
She would master the Waste Teleportation Art at full power!!…
For the next few days, Ye Piaoling had dark circles under her eyes.
Hua Wuhuang asked worriedly, “Xiao Yezi, are you sick?”
“Not at all.” Ye Piaoling wore her smoky-eye look with perfect composure. “Sleep at four, wake at seven. Even the King of Hell praises my constitution.”
Hua Wuhuang: “…”
After several days of frantic cultivation, Ye Piaoling finally grasped the key to the Spatial Teleportation Art!
Next came the experiment. First, she would try teleporting her own bed from the bedroom to the courtyard.
Teleporting a bed through the air required three steps in total.
Step one: use a tiny amount of spiritual energy to set up a bed-receiving array in the courtyard.
Step two: keep using that tiny amount of spiritual energy to draw a Launch Talisman corresponding to the receiving array, then slap it onto the bed.
Step three: activate the spell. With a bang, the entire bed vanished from the bedroom out of thin air and appeared inside the receiving array in the courtyard!
Success!
The corners of Ye Piaoling’s mouth shot upward.
This thing was way too convenient. It was basically like transferring files by Bluetooth: receive, send, biu biu biu~~~
The only downside was that the teleportation distance was very limited. At most, it could only teleport something two li at a time.
Chonghua Palace was far more than two li away from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but Ye Piaoling quickly came up with an idea: segmented transport!
She could set up several relay stations along the way. A few more teleports, and the delivery would be complete.
With a plan in mind, Ye Piaoling immediately dug out a map of the capital and began designing her transport route.
The locations of Bing-le-me and the Divine Weapon Pavilion were both very suitable and could serve as two transfer centers. In addition, she picked out nine inns.
The later parts of the route were easy enough. The tricky part was right after the bed left Chonghua Palace. Chonghua Palace was located in a secluded corner of the imperial city, backed by mountains and facing a lake. There were no inns at all within a two-li radius, so she could only choose uninhabited spots to temporarily store the bed…
After that, Ye Piaoling began her field survey. Starting from the Regent King’s bedchamber, she calculated the distances with precision and selected over a dozen relay stations along the route.
Everything was ready. All she lacked was the eastern wind.
She had to wait for a time when Di Xiulan was definitely not at home.
At last, a bright, breezy day arrived.
That day was the birthday of Dali’s Young Emperor, his fifteenth-year hair-binding ceremony. As the emperor’s teacher, the Regent King would naturally attend, leaving his sleeping courtyard empty!
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Piaoling claimed illness and requested leave from Tianwen Sect. First, she rushed about like a whirlwind, booking rooms at nine inns in sequence and setting up bed-receiving arrays inside each room.
Then she rode her scooter to Chonghua Palace. There were two more transfer centers inside and outside Chonghua Palace, and she set up receiving arrays there as well.
Finally, with a thick stack of bed Launch Talismans stuffed into her clothes, she stepped into Di Xiulan’s sleeping courtyard.
The courtyard was silent and empty. Sure enough, the Regent King was not home.
Ye Piaoling walked in and lowered her head to look at the enormous bed.
“Baby, from today onward, you are mine!”
After making that overbearing-CEO declaration, Ye Piaoling tossed a Launch Talisman onto the bed.
This bed only repelled people. It did not repel objects.
The talisman paper landed. She formed hand seals with both hands and cast the spell, executing a flurry of dazzling moves.
A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and the bed was successfully launched!
Oh yeah!!
Ye Piaoling jumped up.
But now was not the time to celebrate. Time waited for no one. She immediately rushed out the door, leaped onto her electric scooter, and sped toward the first receiving array.
The first receiving array was located in the small woods on the rear mountain of Chonghua Palace.
Following the route she had surveyed in advance, Ye Piaoling tore down the path.
-The bed has departed. Next stop: rear mountain transfer center!
Ye Piaoling sped to the edge of the little woods on the rear mountain. Through the lush green trees, she indeed saw that bed.
Delighted, she hopped off the scooter and ran over to the bed.
Suddenly, a sharp shout came from behind her.
“Who goes there, sneaking around?”
Ye Piaoling’s heart tightened. She turned around.
Standing before her was a young hidden guard of Chonghua Palace. He looked a little familiar, but she could not remember whether he guarded the gate or swept the courtyard.
She did not recognize him clearly, but he recognized her at a glance. He immediately cupped his hands in salute. “Miss Ye.”
Ye Piaoling said, “Hello.”
Her expression was extremely calm.
She pretended the two-meter-wide bed behind her did not exist.
“This subordinate was patrolling the rear mountain. I saw a figure and came over at once to investigate. I did not expect it to be Miss Ye. Please forgive my rudeness.”
As the hidden guard explained, he glanced in confusion at the bed behind her.
Ye Piaoling said calmly, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
“…”
The hidden guard finally could not hold back. He asked, “Miss Ye, why is there suddenly a bed here?”
Ye Piaoling said, “Oh, this? It’s nothing major. I just suddenly felt like putting it there.”
The hidden guard: “…”
Ye Piaoling asked, “Is putting it there not allowed?”
How would the hidden guard dare say it was not allowed? He quickly put on an apologetic smile.
“Of course, of course. You are the one who will bear His Highness eight children. Naturally, you may place anything in Chonghua Palace wherever you wish.”
Ye Piaoling: “???”
What the heck?
What eight children??
Where did that come from???
