Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Prince Consort

Time slowly passed, with Xue Bai doing some simple experiments with his new physique and the Dao of Space in the room as he waited for someone to come.

He also tried to cultivate; however, he soon realized that his Martial Veins were too shriveled up to absorb Spiritual Qi.

"It seems that I really over-exerted myself too badly," Xue Bai sighed, "I need to find some wood-type nourishing natural treasures."

With his memories, this wouldn\'t be too hard to achieve since wood-type natural treasures were the most common type, and nourishing natural treasures were almost exclusively of the wood element.

The only problem was his current location. In order to even think about doing anything to heal himself, Xue Bai first needed to figure out where he was.

Thankfully there was a bright side as since Xue Bai had now comprehended a Dao, he didn\'t need Spiritual Qi to influence the environment. He could alter reality just by using the space element in the air, albeit to a lesser extent than if he used the Spiritual Qi within him.

However, with the horrible condition his body was in currently, any good thing was helpful.

Another misfortune he discovered was that, except for one, all of his spatial rings were gone, most likely due to the chaotic void making the space inside of them too unstable and making them explode from within.

Xue Bai liked to organize his possessions, and because of that, he usually carried about 4 or 5 spatial rings on his person. But now, all of them except for one got destroyed in the void. So the spatial ring that carried all of the natural treasures, his spiritual ores, and all of the other various natural treasures he had collected over the years were gone.

The only one to survive was the one he kept on his actual ring finger and also his most important.

Spatial rings couldn\'t be held in each other, so to hold all of his spatial rings, Xue Bai kept the ones filled with resources in a pouch inside of his robes\' breast pocket while only wearing the important one.

Sadly anything that wasn\'t directly attached to him didn\'t survive the void. So neither the pouch nor the spatial rings survived.

Xue Bai was indeed angry about the loss of resources, but with his memories and a new area to play in, as long as he was still in the Baishen Plane, he was confident he would be able to get the same amount, if not more.

And he was extremely happy that his important spatial ring survived, as it contained his most valuable possessions; The Azure Dragon God\'s cultivation technique, the Soul Sublimation Golden Lotus, the items that Huli Jing left for him, and the strongest talismans for protection he owned.

If he had lost that, Xue Bai wouldn\'t even know how to react. If anything, he might just go numb from anguish.

After finding that out, Xue Bai eventually got bored of the room he was in and decided to look around for his \'saviors\' himself, but just as he stepped out of the room he was in, he saw a woman walk into his line of sight from down the hall.

Giving the woman a deep look, Xue Bai did indeed confirm that he was no longer in the Southern Continent.

Walking over to him was an older woman who seemed to be in her early thirties and, from what Xue Bai could sense, also a mortal who couldn\'t cultivate.

Which in itself wasn\'t odd or gave away his location, but instead. it was her garb that did.

The woman who was walking toward him was in a maid costume, but on its chest was a symbol he hadn\'t ever seen before, not in this life or his previous one.

The symbol itself didn\'t look special as it only had a gold shield with a mountain on it.

But no matter how Xue Bai looked at it, he knew that it wasn\'t a faction that was on the Southern Continent.

As Xue Bai was still eyeing the symbol, the maid eventually noticed him looking at her and quickly shouted in surprise, "Prince Consort, you\'re awake!"

\'Prince Consort?\' Xue Bai was extremely confused about the odd manner in which he was being addressed, but since he had no idea where he was, he could only suppress his confusion and wait for more information.

"Prince Consort, please don\'t move too much. You\'ve only been eating fasting pills for half a year. And you\'re missing almost 70% of your blood essence, so your starved body is even weaker." The maid quickly spoke as she rushed over in concern. It looked like she was planning to help Xue Bai.

"Wait, miss. You said that I haven\'t eaten for half a year?" Xue Bai asked, "Then that would make today, what, the 4th month of 976?"

\'I look like I\'ve aged three years. There is no way that it\'s only 976.\' Xue Bai thought.

"Prince consort, I know that you have been unconscious for a while; however, it\'s still too much to act like you have two years missing out of your internal clock," The maid said with a disapproving tone, "Now quickly, her Majesty had given me strict instructions to take you to her as soon as you wake up."

"Who is this \'Her Majesty,\'" Xue Bai spoke with a frown as he dodged the maid\'s hands.

No one would be happy if, after they woke up, they were suddenly made a concubine to a monarch they didn\'t know.

Not expecting Xue Bai to have enough energy to dodge her even though he looked so thin and weak, the maid was caught off balance and almost tripped.

"Prince Consort, there is no time to play games," The maid was getting annoyed and soon lost her polite attitude, "Her Majesty is someone with more troubles than a gigolo like you could ever manage!"

Hearing such a rude word coming from a mortal woman, Xue Bai lost his friendly attitude and didn\'t bother speaking to this woman any longer. Obviously, she knew nothing about him and only knew how to follow instructions blindly. She didn\'t even know that Xue Bai was a cultivator and foolishly tried to manhandle him.

And with a wave of his hand, he sent the mortal woman flying back into a wall.

Though he didn\'t have any Spiritual Qi and he was extremely weakened, his physical body was still as strong as someone in the Blood Exchange realm, making him dozens of times stronger than a random mortal middle-aged woman who hadn\'t trained a day in her life.

However, he left her alive and only in a massive amount of pain. He couldn\'t bring himself to murder an ignorant mortal.

"I\'ll find her myself." Xue Bai coldly spoke to the woman who was now a wall decoration.

No longer bothering with her, Xue Bai walked in the direction the maid came from and planned to find this monarch himself.

"There is no need \'Prince Consort.\'" A cold ambiguous female voice came from around a different corner than the one maid came from.

Turning around to face this person, Xue Bai saw a pair of long white legs peek from the corner that was behind him.

The owner of the legs soon followed, and after looking at the face, Xue Bai thought that the girl\'s beauty didn\'t let down the beauty of her legs. From her figure to her face, the girl who walked out was definitely a beauty no worse than Jiang Xiaorou or Ye Rou.

In an imperial dragon robe that wasn\'t much inferior to Duan Zhen\'s, the woman identified as \'Her Majesty\' made her presence known.

She wasn\'t very old, only looking about 20 or 21 years old but stood at a tall height of about 1.75 meters. She had a long head of black hair that was kept up in a high ponytail held up by an imperial crown similar to the one Duan Zhen often wore.

"Your Majesty!" The maid suddenly sounded as if she had found a life-saving rope and called out in pain, "This gigolo didn\'t know his place and refused to meet you. Not only that, but he even hit me so hard!"

The maid cried out in pain as she tried to get herself out of the wall.

Yet Xue Bai didn\'t let her.

Making a grabbing motion into the air, Xue Bai exercised his right as a person who comprehended a Dao and directly manipulated reality.

Using the space element in the air, Xue Bai easily formed an arrow and sent it flying at the maid who had insulted him twice now.

"Your Majesty, help!" The maid shouted out in fear. However, the monarch didn\'t do anything and, alternatively, watched in interest.

Xue Bai\'s arrow went right through the maid\'s throat, killing her instantly without any pain.

"That\'s an interesting power." \'Her Majesty,\' spoke curiously.

"Aren\'t you angry that I killed a person under you?" Xue Bai asked with a raised eyebrow.

He could tell that this girl didn\'t care for that maid and, if anything, was indifferent to her pleas. Almost as if she didn\'t care for the woman\'s life or death.

"That wench was a traitor, so if anything, I should be thanking you rather than being angry." \'Her Majesty\' coldly spoke as she looked at the middle-aged woman\'s corpse.

Hearing such a ruthless sentence, Xue Bai couldn\'t help but give the monarch another look, but as he did, he suddenly realized something.

She didn\'t have a wisp of Spiritual QI in or around her. So it was either the girl only slightly older than him was a cultivator with a much higher cultivation base, or she was a mortal!

Xue Bai couldn\'t believe the former, so he quickly sided with the latter.

Slightly shocked, Xue Bai couldn\'t help but ask, "You\'re a mortal?"

However, the monarch didn\'t answer her question and merely shrugged her shoulders, implying her answer.

Xue Bai also didn\'t really expect an answer, as he was merely speaking out his own thoughts.

Seeing the conversation dry up and sensing the atmosphere being awkward, Xue Bai decided to change the subject.

"Who are you? Where am I? What day is today? And why the hell did that lady call me Prince Consort?" Xue Bai rattled off questions like a machine gun.

"Do you want me to answer your questions here while you\'re standing or in the Imperial Courtroom, where you can sit and eat some long-needed food while you listen?" \'Her Majesty,\' spoke as she motioned for Xue Bai to follow her.

Xue Bai nodded in response and followed the woman. Though he was in a foreign territory and somewhere he didn\'t know, Xue Bai was confident that there wouldn\'t be someone capable of hurting him.

He could still feel Yue Zifeng\'s soul imprint on him, meaning that no attack above the Law Engraving realm could hurt him. Yue Zifeng made it this way to help Xue Bai from attackers far above his cultivation realm, but also to not make him arrogant, since he could still die to a Dharma Idol realm cultivator or Law Engraving realm one.

And for attacks below that realm, Xue Bai could react and shift into the void safely before it hit him.

Following the monarch to the Imperial Courtroom didn\'t take long, and after about 15 minutes of walking in silence, they arrived.

Along the way, Xue Bai also noticed just how barren the Imperial Palace was. He hadn\'t seen a single person other than this girl and the maid from earlier.

Xue Bai planned to ask about that as well.

Entering the courtroom, Xue Bai made himself at home and simply sat down on the Imperial Throne, not caring about the monarch\'s opinion.

Nothing here could threaten him, so why should he be wary and passive? It was better to play the role of an arrogant genius than to act weak.

Seeing this, the monarch was about to get angry, but after remembering that this boy was her only hope, she stopped. And after a quick breather to calm herself down, she clapped her hands.

Following her actions, a small group of maids entered the courtroom, pushing a table that was already prepared with some delicious-looking dishes.

"You can eat while I speak," \'Her Majesty\' said, "I know you must be hungry after being unconscious for almost three years."

"This is the Mountain Province of the Northern Continent. I am the current Monarch of the Gen Empire, Feng Fei. It is the 4th month of the year 978. And you\'re being called Prince Consort by the maid because you are my Prince Consort. In other words, my concubine." Feng Fei calmly spoke as she waited for Xue Bai\'s response.

"Who the hell gave you the right to make me a concubine?" Xue Bai spoke as he chewed on a steak.

\'The food also doesn\'t have any Spiritual Qi in it. I know the Gen Empire, and it\'s rather prosperous, so why is their Monarch a beggar?\' Xue Bai thought as he swallowed the bite of ox meat.

However, while he did figure out where he was, he was extremely confused about how he got there.

\'But why the hell am I on the Northern Continent?\' Xue Bai still couldn\'t grasp how the hell he had traveled so far.

The Northern Continent was just so far away from the Southern Continent. Let alone two and half years, as Feng Fei said, even if Xue Bai were given ten years, he wouldn\'t be able to travel to the Northern Continent.
