Chapter 185 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with
Su Jinyue, a concubine, should have been assigned two personal maids, two eunuchs, and four lowly eunuchs.
However, whether it was due to a shortage of manpower in the palace or because Su Jinyue's status was not valued, the number of servants in her residence was reduced by half.
Of course, having fewer people to serve her was also a major reason why Su Jinyue was able to sneak away successfully.
Su Jinyue returned to her room on her own, wondering if she had forgotten anything from today's events.
Su Jinyue had only transmigrated today and hadn't even figured out her own situation when she received more than ten storylines, leaving her completely confused.
Upon learning that the Imperial Garden was a plot point tonight, Su Jinyue hurried over there.
But judging from how things have developed, Xiao Jing'an seems to have taken precautions.
The Empress and the Empress Dowager both sent people to persuade Xiao Jing'an, but Xiao Jing'an remained unmoved.
Did he sense something? Or was it simply a rebellious streak of not wanting others to dictate his private life?
"Oh dear," Su Jinyue scratched her head vigorously. There was too little information, and she really couldn't analyze it right now.
Confined to her home by Xiao Jing'an, Su Jinyue thought to herself that she would give up on him, but she couldn't really just ignore him.
Xiao Jing'an is not only her mission target, but also her lover, and she will not give him to anyone else!
However, it's too difficult for Su Jinyue to get close to Xiao Jing'an now!
If she relies solely on her current identity, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven for Su Jinyue to see Xiao Jing'an!
Left with no other choice, Su Jinyue gritted her teeth and decided to resort to unconventional methods.
What? You're saying what if Xiao Jing'an finds out something's wrong?
With so many people in this world who have transmigrated and acquired cheat codes, it's impossible for everyone to hide their true identities.
Xiao Jing'an will definitely notice something amiss; it's only a matter of time. Su Jinyue has already come to terms with this fact.
Su Jinyue used her divine sense to enter the space and began searching for tools that could allow her to approach Xiao Jing'an or infiltrate the Qianqing Palace.
This color-changing aircraft is perfect for nighttime operation; it's quiet and no one will notice.
This invisibility cloak will work too. As long as it doesn't make a big commotion, Su Jinyue is confident that she won't be discovered when used in conjunction with her divine sense.
……
Su Jinyue was still rummaging through her spatial storage, not even noticing that Kongkong had returned.
Seeing that Su Jinyue was constantly searching for something in the space, the system asked.
[Host, what are you looking for? You haven't found it after so long?]
Su Jinyue only then realized that Kongkong had returned. She stopped what she was doing and spoke to Kongkong with surprise and delight.
"Kongkong, you're finally back! What happened just now? Are you alright? Was that palace maid who touched me also using some kind of cheat ability?"
After much thought, Su Jinyue concluded that the palace maid could only be in this situation.
Kongkong didn't hide anything.
[Yes, host, that palace maid is a native of this world and is bound to the Plunder System. Her attack on you was also due to the Plunder System's manipulation.]
However, host, don't worry. I've already devoured that plundering system, and I've also deleted the palace maid's memories of being bound to the system. She won't cause any more trouble.
Su Jinyue exclaimed in surprise: "You swallowed that system directly? Kongkong, weren't you out of energy? How could you defeat the opponent so easily?"
"Hey, what's the big deal? It's just that the plundering system was too weak. It chose a palace maid as its host, so its starting point was too low. You just had to develop stealthily and grow slowly, but it set its sights on my host on the very first day of the binding!"
Can I let it succeed? Humanitarian destruction is necessary!
Su Jinyue smiled; this Kongkong was quite domineering.
"Kongkong, what effect will it have on you if you swallow it?"
"I'm fine. These systems are energy to me. As long as I can defeat them, I can convert them into energy."
Su Jinyue felt a little relieved; it seemed that Kongkong was still somewhat useful.
Su Jinyue recalled the scene when the plundering system entered her body. Why couldn't her divine sense stop it?
She thought to herself, and asked Kongkong the same question.
It's very simple; it's because the power doesn't belong to the same dimension.
"Not belonging to the same dimension?" Su Jinyue continued to wonder.
Yes, let me start by explaining how the plunder system works.
The plunder system, as the name suggests, is one that uses the property of others for the host's own purposes.
In reality, the plundering system directly plunders a person's luck and then transforms that luck into things the host needs, such as beauty, dancing skills, voice, etc.
However, the system doesn't work for free. It acts like a middleman, giving the host what it needs, but in reality, it gets more!
Its method of plundering others' luck is rather simple and brutal: it takes the host's contact with the target and then forcibly seizes it.
This method is simple and easy to obtain, but a lot of good fortune will be lost in the process.
"Kongkong, what does this have to do with the question I asked?"
[Host, don't worry. It's just a matter of time.]
The strange substance that the plundering system brings into the target's body is also a type of energy, but it's closer to soul power.
"Soul power?"
Yes, the host's consciousness belongs to mental power, while the plundering system uses soul power. The two are not in the same dimension, so the host cannot stop it.
In fact, most people are unaware of the process of plundering one's luck.
However, because the host had traversed several worlds and his soul was powerful enough, although he couldn't yet use soul power, he was already able to keenly detect traces of the system's intrusion.
Su Jinyue then asked.
"Are the powers used by these systems similar to soul power? But in the last world, when Ruan Bingyu used the system to control Chen Meizi, didn't I accidentally break free from Chen Meizi's control with my divine sense?"
The system uses soul power, but the method by which the system controls Chen Meizi is to control Chen Meizi's spirit and mind with soul power. Your divine sense can also control other people's spiritual power.
Therefore, when soul power controls a person's spirit, it's equivalent to soul power and spiritual power existing in the same dimension, which is why the host was able to succeed at that time.
So that's how it is. It seems that to deal with the system, we not only need to enhance our spiritual sense, but also cultivate our soul power.
However, it seems that Su Jinyue has no way to cultivate soul power.
"Kongkong, do you have any methods for cultivating soul power?"
[This... the host really doesn't have it.]
Kongkong's skills were all inherited talents and special cultivation techniques. It didn't need them before, so why would it pay attention to them?
“Alright,” Su Jinyue lowered her head and pondered. It seemed that none of the cultivation methods left by Immortal Qingchen in the space were for cultivating soul power.
Soul power, also known as the power of the soul, is cultivated by righteous immortals in the cultivation world through various techniques. But what about ghost cultivators?
Ghost cultivators only have souls and can only cultivate soul power. Su Jinyue remembered that there were a few books about ghost cultivation in her space. She would find them and see if there were any ways to improve soul power.
