"Will you only love me wholeheartedly in the future?"
Hua Chao's question left Ying Wuji speechless.
Will you only love me wholeheartedly in the future?
That's impossible!
Ying Wuji couldn't understand why he could be so shameless.
But when he thought about it, he realized that he couldn't help but be shameless.
I want to say yes, but what about Tang Tang?
Could it be that I'm really the only man in the world who falls in love with multiple women at the same time?
Huh?
Why does this sound familiar?
Looking at Hua Chao's expectant eyes, Ying Wuji made a bet in his heart.
And he remained silent for a moment.
But this silence made Hua Chao's heart race. Her eyes slowly turned red, and her voice began to tremble. "Have you fallen in love with Princess Yuanyang?"
Ying Wuji was startled and quickly assured her, "I absolutely haven't fallen in love with Princess Yuanyang. I can swear that if I fall in love with her, I'll be struck by lightning."
"Don't say such unlucky things!"
Hua Chao quickly covered his mouth. Ying Wuji's answer made her breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still extremely nervous.
She couldn't understand why she was so afraid last night, afraid to ask the most important question.
Fortunately, Ying Wuji didn't fall in love with Princess Yuanyang, otherwise, what would she be?
A fox spirit?
She nervously looked at Ying Wuji. "Then, have you fallen in love with someone else?"
Ying Wuji felt her trembling in his arms, and he could even feel her fear without looking at her.
In her expectant eyes, he smiled and said, "What are you saying? Of course, I will only love you!"
After saying this sentence.
He felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had fallen into a moral dilemma in an instant.
At the same time, his heart ached. Did I betray Hua Chao too?
But he could only answer like this.
They had just been intimate last night.
And now Hua Chao was lying in his arms without any clothes on.
What else could he say?
Should he answer, "Of course, I won't only love you. Before coming back, I slept with another sweet girl."
Not to mention that his inner demons would erupt on the spot.
Ying Wuji even suspected that Hua Chao might be unable to bear the humiliation and commit suicide on the spot.
"Really?"
Hua Chao's eyes were filled with joy, but she was still a bit cautious, afraid that Ying Wuji was just teasing her.
Ying Wuji nodded earnestly, "Of course it's true!"
"Mm!"
Hua Chao nodded, and all her anxiety disappeared. Tears that she had been holding back for a long time silently fell from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't want Ying Wuji to see her like this, so she quickly buried her head in his chest and wiped away the tears quietly.
Her voice was incredibly gentle, "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you!"
Ying Wuji stroked her smooth back and said, "You've only just woken up. Rest well. There are chefs in the mansion, I won't go hungry."
"Mm..."
Hua Chao softly responded, feeling an indescribable sense of relief.
But feeling the intimate contact of their bare skin, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, making her cheeks blush.
Last night was too indulgent.
Just now, she was too nervous.
Until now, she seemed to be able to fully immerse herself in this tender and sweet moment.
She wanted to experience Ying Wuji's passionate love again in a completely sober state.
But now, the sky outside the window had changed from pitch black to deep blue. What if it delayed his important matters?
And she couldn't harm his body.
She gently sniffed the scent on Ying Wuji's body and whispered, "You should rest too. Hold me tight!"
"I..."
Ying Wuji hesitated.
Hua Chao asked, "Do you have important matters to attend to?"
Ying Wuji nodded, "The Emperor wants me to attend the grand court meeting. I need to prepare in advance."
Hua Chao felt a little disappointed but still smiled and said, "Important matters come first. Let me help you get dressed!"
Saying that, she sat up from the bed.
The sudden chill made her shiver. She suddenly remembered that she wasn't wearing any clothes and was completely exposed in front of Ying Wuji.
Although they had already consummated their marriage.
Her pretty face still turned red.
But fortunately, it was still dark outside, so Wuji shouldn't be able to see clearly, right?
She didn't dare to think too much and quickly put on her robe, lighting the oil lamp on the table.
Then she took out a new set of clothes from the cabinet and asked Ying Wuji to sit up.
Ying Wuji was a little surprised, "Hua Chao, why do you have so many new clothes in your cabinet? Are they all for me?"
"Who else would they be for?"
Hua Chao gave him a glance, a hint of reproach in her eyes, but her expression was full of tenderness.
She looked at Ying Wuji's bare upper body, young and strong, which made her heart beat faster and her mind go blank.
So, this is what it feels like to be husband and wife.
With her blushing face, dripping with charm, she silently helped Ying Wuji put on his clothes.She had never dressed anyone before, and the clothes now were a bit complicated, so she seemed a bit clumsy.
But every movement she made was gentle and serious.
After dressing him, she straightened his collar.
Feeling Ying Wuji's breath from afar, she felt that the happiness in her heart was about to overflow from her eyes.
She gently hugged Ying Wuji and leaned on his shoulder, whispering softly, "Finish your business quickly and come back, I'll wait for you!"
"Mm!"
Ying Wuji nodded and tightly embraced her curvaceous body.
He enjoyed it very much.
But he felt that her clothes were a bit thin.
He smiled and said, "Go back to bed quickly, don't catch a cold. Have a good rest, I'll be with you all the time when I come back!"
"Mm! Go quickly, the important matters come first!"
Hua Chao nodded.
But she was reluctant to let him go.
She bit her lip and her voice was so soft that she could barely hear it herself, "Before you go, can you kiss me?"
Ying Wuji felt a sweet feeling in his heart, but at the same time, he was overwhelmed with guilt.
He gently held Hua Chao's face and kissed her deeply.
This kiss was gentle yet passionate.
They didn't know how long it lasted.
Hua Chao gently pushed him away and said, "Go quickly, I'll be waiting for you at home!"
"Mm!"
Ying Wuji nodded and pecked her forehead before pushing the door open and leaving.
Hua Chao stood in place for a while, a smile that couldn't be stopped appeared on her lips.
She glanced at the bronze mirror on the table. Her face was still the same, but the faint melancholy that had been there before was gone. Instead, she looked like a flower petal moistened by spring rain, exuding a charming and alluring beauty.
Although we can't have a formal status.
But I can consider myself a married woman now, right?
That's great!
She smiled and walked towards the bed.
Her steps were light, like a young girl in her teens.
Blushing, she changed the bed sheets stained with fallen petals, but she couldn't bear to change the blanket.
She lay down again, feeling the warmth in the bed, as if she was being held by Ying Wuji.
With a smile on her lips, she reminisced about the scene from last night and fell into a deep sleep.
So tired.
But so happy.
...
"Squeak..."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mi Xingli reflexively opened her eyes and quickly ran to the window, looking outside through the gap in the window.
Because she had left the gap open all night, the cold wind blew in, making her feel quite cold.
But this didn't affect her excitement of watching the show.
She saw Ying Wuji dressed in a somewhat disheveled manner. Although there was a trace of worry on his face, his complexion indicated that he had enjoyed himself to the fullest.
Hey!
Looks like my guess was right!
Ying Wuji is coming back to his own room!
And if I'm not mistaken, Princess Yuanyang is there!
Wow!
This is going to be exciting!
Outside the door.
Ying Wuji was extremely worried.
He didn't expect to experience the happiness of being a scumbag so quickly.
Although Tang Tang and Hua Chao were both traditional girls who didn't care about worldly affairs and just wanted to live a good life, their personalities were quite different.
One was a little girl, the other was an older sister.
One was completely innocent, but liked to have the lights on.
One could communicate with the women in the brothel with a smile, but was too shy to even show a glimmer of light.
One was mischievous and lively, unable to be locked away even in the deep palace.
One was so gentle that she could melt a person's heart with just a glance.
The happiness of a newlywed couple.
It doubled directly.
No wonder so many people want to be scumbags.
But scumbags, after scumming others, don't feel any guilt at all, they are very carefree.
Why am I so clueless about being a scumbag?
As long as these two meet, I will definitely explode on the spot.
Whether I explode or not is not the main issue.
The main issue is Hua Chao's demonic seed.
Even if she doesn't have a demonic seed, with her experience, if she finds out, it will probably cause a significant blow.
But fortunately.
Tang Tang has been living in the deep palace and rarely has the opportunity to come out.
The two of them shouldn't meet... right?
Ying Wuji was lost in thought as he pushed open his own door.
Although he was already dressed neatly, he couldn't wear casual clothes to the grand court meeting. Last night, his father-in-law said he had prepared an official robe for him, and it should be almost time for it to arrive.
What a pity.
Hua Chao spent so much time dressing me up.
And her fragrance is still lingering.
While the person delivering the official robe hadn't arrived yet, he decided to rest for a while.
He subconsciously walked towards the bed.
Then, he saw someone lying on the bed.
Not only was there someone lying on the bed, but this person also had their eyes open.
Ying Wuji: "..."
Zhao Ning: "..."
Ying Wuji's mouth twitched, "When did you come?"
Zhao Ning rubbed his temples wearily, "Last night..."
Ying Wuji forced a smile, "Look at the mess this has become. The lady of the house is back, and I didn't even realize it."Zhao Ning looked into his eyes and shook his head helplessly, "You were so focused at that time, how could you have the energy to notice me?"
Ying Wuji: "......"
Zhao Ning: "......"
There was silence in the room for a while.
Ying Wuji chuckled dryly and then sat on the edge of the bed, "You look really tired, why don't you rest properly?"
Why don't you rest properly?
How can you ask me that?
Zhao Ning felt a tightness in her chest. Last night, she wanted to sleep well, but every time she closed her eyes, images and sounds would appear in her mind.
Later, the images and sounds disappeared.
But she couldn't erase the scene of their wedding night.
She could even recall the feeling of Ying Wuji's body.
Who can resist this?
She had been disguised as a man for so long, never experiencing anything between a man and a woman, never even thinking about it.
But first it was their wedding night, and now tonight's experience seemed to awaken her suppressed instincts caused by national affairs.
Tossing and turning.
Unable to sleep.
Her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.
Of course.
She couldn't tell Ying Wuji about this.
She casually found an excuse and said calmly, "There was a lot of bloodshed in the Northern Expedition this time. Although there were no major injuries, there are still some hidden injuries in my body, so it's normal to look unwell."
"I see!"
A trace of worry flashed in Ying Wuji's eyes, and he quickly said, "Then lie down, I'll help you regulate your meridians."
Zhao Ning was taken aback, "Huh?"
Ying Wuji's expression became serious, "The grand court meeting later is very important. As the Crown Prince, especially the victorious Crown Prince, you should present an invincible image. Although you can conceal your condition, once you do, your aura will inevitably be restrained.
Wei Han are both cunning old foxes, and they are also strong.
Of course.
Even if they discover your physical condition, they won't do anything to you.
But since you want to establish your authority, the stronger your momentum, the better.
You said it yourself, you have hidden injuries, and instead of recuperating in the palace, you came to me in the middle of the night.
Lie down quickly, I have learned some healing spells, and I won't be worse than the imperial physicians!"
"Huh?"
Zhao Ning was a little confused. She felt like he was just trying to trick her into lying down, suspecting that he was trying to take advantage of her or change the topic.
But looking at his serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.
And what he said was right. This grand court meeting was indeed very important, and as the victorious Crown Prince, she shouldn't hide her sharpness.
In addition, she had just finished the battle, flew back on her sword all night, and hadn't slept at all. She was indeed exhausted.
After thinking for a moment, she lay down.
Ying Wuji nodded and took off his boots, then lay down directly and hugged her from behind.
Zhao Ning was startled, "What are you doing?"
Ying Wuji whispered, "Shh! Healing!"
Zhao Ning: "......"
Being hugged like this made her feel a little flustered.
But fortunately, there were thick clothes separating them, so she didn't feel too awkward.
Moreover, the warm true energy flowing into her body from every pore on her back made her unable to think about these issues.
It must be said.
Ying Wuji was indeed skilled in healing.
His control over true energy was exquisite, and the large amount of true energy flowed in, infiltrating countless tiny meridians without any sense of loss of control. Every meridian was nurtured to perfection.
Zhao Ning was somewhat shocked because Ying Wuji's control over true energy was actually superior to hers.
But thinking about it, although he was only a second-grade Spirit Fetus, he was only slightly inferior to her in terms of gathering spirit. It didn't mean that his essence and energy were weaker than hers. It was normal for him to have some advantages.
This feeling was like being ironed all over.
Although it was a bit painful, compared to the comfort brought by the rapid recovery of her hidden injuries, it was not worth mentioning.
Zhao Ning quickly lost the ability to think and cooperated with Ying Wuji to heal seriously.
Just a quarter of an hour.
The feeling of exhaustion was swept away.
Zhao Ning felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but let out a soft moan, but soon realized that something was not quite right and quickly sat up, "Brother Ying... Wuji! Thank you so much!"
"What are you thanking me for?"
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "pawread dot com"
Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand, "We're family, and if you're not feeling well, shouldn't I take care of you?"
It's true that Flower Blossom is indeed a miraculous healing technique.
If it were treated by the so-called imperial physicians, it would take at least ten times longer to achieve the same effect.
I'm so awesome.
Zhao Ning felt a warm feeling in her heart, but there was also a strange emotion lingering.
After hesitating for a moment, she still spoke up, "Wuji! I know you have deep feelings for Luo Xiang's illegitimate daughter, but I want to remind you not to be too high-profile.
If you were just marrying a princess, with the relationship between your father and Luo Xiang, they would probably turn a blind eye.
But you know my identity!
Allowing you to be with Cai Mei is already not easy. If Hua Chao were to interfere..."
Of course, even if the king finds out now, he won't say anything, but he will inevitably feel resentful.
But if you have a child with Miss Hua Chao, you might be fine, but Miss Hua Chao... Miss Hua Chao has Luo Xiang to protect her, so there shouldn't be any major issues, but it's still not ideal.
Sigh!
In any case, I need to restrain myself for these years. When I can prove to the king that I can secure the throne, this won't be a big deal anymore."
Ying Wuji: "......"
His headache worsened.
This is indeed a problem.
And his main wife doesn't treat him like a fool. It's already very difficult for her to be so frank.
"And also..."
Zhao Ning opened his mouth, but didn't say anything for a long time, looking hesitant. Eventually, he shook his head and said, "Forget it!"
Ying Wuji was curious, "Just say whatever you want to say!"
A blush flashed across Zhao Ning's face, and she earnestly waved her hand, "I wanted to say that I hope our child is the legitimate eldest son. But young people, once they have tasted the forbidden fruit, how can they restrain themselves? Let nature take its course!"
As she spoke, there was a hint of an old-fashioned tone in her voice.
But deep down, she was secretly bitter.
She didn't know what "tasting the forbidden fruit" meant before.
After a sleepless night of tossing and turning, she finally understood.
She was already troubled even before experiencing it.
Although she had some aversion to this expectation in her heart, she had to admit that it indeed existed.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Zhao Ning understood that the best way to avoid demonic cultivation was to face her own inner desires honestly.
She even regretted promising before that "after giving birth to a child, I will never have intimate contact with Ying Wuji again."
She herself couldn't even resist such desires.
If she forbids Ying Wuji from doing anything, with his personality, wouldn't he be furious?
Ying Wuji's mouth twitched. He didn't understand why his main wife could be so serious even when mentioning such matters.
However.
Abstinence is impossible.
It's impossible in this lifetime.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Letting nature take its course is certainly not wrong. However, the Mohist Society has made great progress, and it may be able to create miracles in the construction of the new land, which could save a lot of time."
"Really?"
Zhao Ning's eyes lit up, but she felt that something was not quite right and quickly explained, "What I mean is that the construction of the new land is of great importance. If it can be completed quickly, it would be a good thing. It's not just about wanting to... of course! If it really happens, it would also be a good thing for the royal family."
Ying Wuji: "......"
Although you're disguising your expression and tone well.
But you're explaining too much.
My main wife is really burdened by the responsibilities of the royal family.
As the legal wife.
She even proposed a reasonable request to give birth to a child first, and she has to explain it so seriously.
Zhao Ning felt a bit uncomfortable and pointed to a nearby cabinet, "The official robes that were rushed to be made last night have been delivered. Change into them yourself, I'll wait for you in the carriage outside!"
After saying that, she hurriedly got up and pushed the door open.
Just before leaving, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the bed.
Ying Wuji let out a sigh.
He thought that wearing these ancient clothes was really troublesome.
It took a lot of effort for Hua Chao to dress him, and now he had to change again in the blink of an eye.
Troublesome.
He shook his head and started changing into the official robes himself.
In another room.
Mi Xingli: "Huh!"
Princess Yuanyang has left, but she didn't leave with Ying Wuji. She must be angry with him.
But she didn't look particularly well last night.
But now she looks radiant.
They must have had a harmonious time just now.
And the carriage outside is still there, so she must be waiting for Ying Wuji. She's probably just throwing a tantrum.
Although Princess Yuanyang's status is not high, it's still too exaggerated for her to be "coaxed" by Ying Wuji in such a short time.
Could it be that Ying Wuji has some extraordinary qualities?
Mi Xingli instinctively widened her eyes, and after a while, she saw Ying Wuji coming out in official robes.
She didn't dare to ask Princess Yuanyang.
She felt embarrassed to ask Hua Chao.
Can't she even ask Ying Wuji with his thick-skinned face?
She quickly went out, stretched lazily, and pretended to have just woken up, calling out to Ying Wuji, "Good morning, Brother Ying!"
"Morning!"
Ying Wuji casually greeted her and continued walking without stopping.
After embracing Zhao Ning for so long just now, his body was a bit restless. It had just calmed down, and he really didn't want to have any entanglements with Mi Xingli... What kind of trouble does she have? It's better to avoid it, so as not to lose control of his true energy.
Damn it!
Why is the physical quality of a Superb Spirit Fetus so good?
If it weren't for my mental health, I would almost suspect that I have a compulsive need for intimacy.
He just wanted to leave quickly, but unexpectedly, Mi Xingli blocked his way.
She even held onto his wrist.
He frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"Mi Xingli smiled and said, "It's nothing! I just feel that Brother Ying's cultivation has improved. Coincidentally, I have gained some insights from the 'Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar'. So, I wanted to discuss it with you, maybe we can both gain some insights and make breakthroughs in our cultivation. Brother Ying, please don't be offended."
Ying Wuji shrugged.
According to Zhao Ji, whenever Mi Xingli had free time, she would study the 'Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar', as if she had gained some understanding from it.
Although the Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar was filled with pictorial characters, the efficiency of studying it was much lower compared to the modern jade slips. However, it contained profound knowledge about the universe, including the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, astronomy, geography, and spiritual abilities.
As long as one had high comprehension and worked hard, it was not surprising to gain insights from it.
Since it was not too late, Ying Wuji also wanted to see what Mi Xingli had gained from her studies. So, he allowed her to feel his pulse.
Tsk!
Can you even tell if I'm happy from my pulse?
Mi Xingli closed her eyes and felt his pulse for a moment. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes in shock and looked at Ying Wuji, "Brother Ying! You actually absorbed the essence of two women in one night. That's too much!"
Ying Wuji: "???"
Afraid that Hua Chao would hear, he quickly covered Mi Xingli's mouth and took her to a secluded place.
Threateningly, he said, "If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't ever stay in the Marquis's residence!"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Mi Xingli repeatedly apologized. She had indeed lost her composure just now.
But... the essence of two women, one of them must be Hua Chao.
The other one, Princess Yuanyang?
No way!
They should have already consummated their marriage on their wedding night, and her walking posture just now seemed natural.
So... there's another woman?
She lowered her voice and said, "But you're really promiscuous, aren't you? Hua Chao is really into you..."
Feeling Ying Wuji's threatening gaze, she quickly shut up.
Ying Wuji was somewhat surprised and asked in a low voice, "How did you find out? How did you do it?"
He was certain that Mi Xingli had only felt his pulse and did not invade his meridians with her true energy.
Even if she invaded his meridians, it would be impossible to determine whether she had absorbed someone's essence, let alone the exact number.
What people could sense was only the true energy emanating from others. To know what the true energy inside someone's body was like, one would have to infiltrate their true energy and cleanse their meridians and dantian.
Otherwise, even with Zhao Ning's perfect daughter's body, it would be difficult to hide the fact that she had transformed her essence.
But Mi Xingli, just by feeling his pulse, was able to deduce so much information?
Mi Xingli spread her hands and said, "Coincidentally, I gained some insights from the Yin and Yang section of the 'Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar'. It might be too detailed for you to understand, but in short, after absorbing the essence, the true energy in the body undergoes complex changes. If used properly, it can greatly enhance cultivation. It will also affect the pulse pattern when manifested externally.
Brother Ying, can you tell me who you were with before Hua Chao..."
"Don't look at me like that! I won't ask anymore, okay!"
"And don't worry, this is just my personal understanding. Others probably can't do it, and this pulse pattern will disappear within three days."
Ying Wuji snorted and didn't want to argue with her anymore.
He waved his hand and walked away.
However, Mi Xingli stopped him and said in a low voice, "Brother Ying, I have a favor to ask."
Ying Wuji looked at her displeasedly and said, "Speak!"
Mi Xingli whispered, "The 'Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar' is too profound. It's really inefficient to rely solely on personal understanding. Can you help me plead with King Li to let me use the Star Observation Platform? As a reward, I can transcribe my notes on the ancient calendar for you."
"The Star Observation Platform?"
Ying Wuji frowned slightly. Indeed, there was a Star Observation Platform in the Kingdom of Li, where the kings and star officials recorded celestial phenomena.
The ancient calendar itself was a calendar based on Yin and Yang principles, so studying it on the Star Observation Platform would greatly increase efficiency.
However, it was rare for outsiders to be allowed into the Star Observation Platform, so it would be quite difficult to apply for it.
Mi Xingli had been eager to use the Star Observation Platform for a long time. Seeing him frown, she thought he was going to refuse and couldn't help but feel anxious, "Brother Ying, please promise me! After all, you don't want Hua Chao to know about your... I was wrong, I was wrong! I promise not to tell Hua Chao, I swear!"
In the end, she retreated under Ying Wuji's threatening gaze.
Ying Wuji looked at her as if she were a person after all, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "I will discuss this matter with my father, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."
Mi Xingli was overjoyed, "Thank you, thank you!"
Ying Wuji helplessly shook his head, made a gesture for her to keep quiet, and then made a gesture of singing.
Mi Xingli nodded repeatedly and made a few "aba aba" sounds, indicating that she would act like a mute.
Only then did Ying Wuji breathe a sigh of relief, waved at her, and got on the carriage.
"Let's go!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The coachman responded and whipped the horses to drive the carriage.Zhao Ning had already freed himself from embarrassment and looked at Ying Wuji, asking, "Wuji, do you really want to wait for the Hanguang Sword? Although it is one of the top-grade swords among the Three Swords of the Merchant King, its quality is indeed much better than the Wuling King Sword.
But it is rumored that this once popular sword of the emperor has already surpassed the category of ordinary swords and has given birth to numerous sword spirits.
These sword spirits all have their own consciousness and are nurtured by the will of their original owners.
Since it is the sword of the Merchant King, it will definitely be influenced by the will of the Merchant King.
I'm not worried that you will become the target of the Ji clan because you fused with the Hanguang Sword.
I'm worried that your actions will contradict the sword spirits!
If your cultivation is hindered because of your differences with the sword spirits, then it would truly be not worth it.
Overall, the Wuling King Sword is more suitable for you!"
During this period of time, she had been continuously victorious on the battlefield, and her cultivation was steadily improving. She increasingly understood the importance of the harmony between a person and their weapon.
Not only could it integrate the insights of the previous sword masters, but it could also help a person quickly integrate with their weapon and enter the realm of a warrior.
If Ying Wuji really had conflicts with the sword spirits, it was very likely that he would never be able to break through to the realm of a warrior.
"No rush!"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Let's see how the Hanguang Sword is first. If it really doesn't suit me, then I'll give it up. But even if I give it up, I must snatch back the Merchant King Sword. It cannot be used by outsiders. Moreover... we might not necessarily win in the Sword Immortal Conference!"
Zhao Ning nodded, "That's true!"
Although according to Zhou Tianzi's dream, the probability of Ying Wuji becoming the master of the Hanguang Sword was higher, destiny could still be changed.
Because of Jiang Taiyuan's incident, the group almost encountered a major disaster.
Everyone no longer believed in fate.
The Hanguang Sword might not necessarily stay in Kingdom Li.
It was too early to worry about these things now.
Moreover, the Sword Immortal Conference was on the third day of the third month, and there were only two months left. There was no need to worry about it affecting their cultivation progress.
Ying Wuji pursed his lips and entered a state of introspection.
He had already been in the Embryonic Shedding Realm for some time, and his method of harvesting leeks had long been upgraded. Even if he harvested tough leeks in the future, it would still be a guarantee for his future cultivation.
Even if he really had differences with the sword spirits, he could still bring them back to his side using the value of his Embryonic Sacrifice.
【Sacrificial Rite】: 673317 (currently unavailable)
【Realm】: Sacrificial Rite Zero Layer (0/1)
【Hint】: When the target's emotional fluctuation value exceeds 90, randomly obtain the Ordinary Rank technique "Chicken Crow, Dog Steal."
【Hint】: When the target's emotional fluctuation value exceeds 90, randomly obtain the Ordinary Rank technique "Foot Repair Technique."
【Hint】:...
It wasn't that he had neglected the external cheats recently.
It was just that there had been too many major events recently, with a hundred thousand online students waiting to be fed. He was also a popular live streamer with a hundred thousand active fans, and every time he went live, he would display various strange skills.
In addition, the fire that burned in Wei and Han last night was caused by him, so there were many breaches.
There were too many prompts, and there was no time to read them all!
The previous Essence, Energy, and Spirit attribute points had also become the current Sacrificial Rite value.
In the cultivation of the Embryonic Shedding Realm, the most crucial aspect was the harmony between a person and their weapon. From the first layer to the ninth layer, as long as it was achieved, it would directly break through to the realm of a warrior.
And this Sacrificial Rite value could directly increase it in a straightforward manner.
In decimal form, as long as he obtained his own divine weapon, he could immediately reach the sixth layer of the Embryonic Shedding Realm and accumulate enough to break through to the realm of a warrior on the spot with one hundred million. He could even choose not to break through temporarily and accumulate ten billion to further enhance the grade of his divine weapon.
The current weapons were also divided into several levels: Ordinary, Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven.
Regardless of the level, the same Sacrificial Rite value could only increase one grade.
Of course, the higher the grade of the divine weapon, the better!
The Heavy Li Sword and the Wuling King Sword were both at the Earth level.
The Hanguang Sword, on the other hand, had already nurtured a sword spirit and was at the Heaven level. The Shadow and Night Training, which were also part of the Three Swords of the Merchant King, were also at the Heaven level, but they still fell short compared to the Hanguang Sword.
With himself, it was even possible to surpass the Heaven level.
He should wait!
And he must snatch it.
Ying Wuji was now very stable. When the time came on the third day of the third month, whoever tried to snatch the Hanguang Sword from him, he would deal with them.
Even if the sword spirits didn't like him, he could use the Sacrificial Rite value to make them like him. After all, the initial Sacrificial Rite value couldn't be negative!
Of course, one hundred million Sacrificial Rite value was still somewhat difficult.
He would still have to do crazy things in the future. But as his power grew, his decisions would affect more and more people. Moreover, with the Dream Fox entering his dreams, it might not be particularly difficult.
And now, he had already mastered two divine abilities: Sprinkle Beans to Form Soldiers and External Incarnation.
After breaking through, he might even be able to directly skip the realm of a warrior and become a big shot in the realm of Enlightenment.
Who would he need to please then?
Feeling extremely satisfied, Ying Wuji closed his eyes and checked his recent gains when he finally had some free time.
He had obtained too many miscellaneous skills.
He now felt like an all-around monster.However, most of these skills are useless.
But with such a large number of skills available, and the mentality of so many people from the Wei and Han families being disrupted, the unique skills of the Wei, Han, and Zheng families have almost all been used up.
The methods of causing trouble seem to have become more diverse.
Now, he is like a library, a veritable encyclopedia of the Great Li.
Wait!
Ying Wuji suddenly shook, his gaze stopping on a piece of news.
【Prompt】: When the target's emotional fluctuation value reaches 100, the skill "Heaven and Earth" will be obtained at the maximum level.
Ying Wuji: "......"
Hey!
What the heck?
Did the old man's skill also explode?
This thing is not a formation, but it is the original form of a formation, with the power to move mountains and fill seas. It is the fundamental reason why the Li Kingdom can suppress the Wei and Han families. This is a divine skill!
But more importantly...
External incarnation.
Turning beans into soldiers.
Heaven and Earth.
Three skills.
Could it be that after breaking through the realm of a soldier, I can become a saint on the spot?
Ying Wuji had heard that when one breaks through the realm of comprehending the divine, besides mastering three skills, there is another important condition. Otherwise, one can only be called a pseudo-saint and cannot establish a sect or recruit disciples. However, there is not much difference in personal strength compared to a true saint.
What is this condition? Ying Wuji is not particularly clear about it for now.
But being a pseudo-saint is still a saint!
Damn it!
Jumping three levels in a row!
Have you ever seen a contestant who directly becomes a saint after breaking through the realm of rebirth?
Will the upgrade flow directly become invincible?
Zhao Ning was a little confused: "What are you laughing at?"
Ying Wuji quickly shook his head: "I remembered something happy!"
Zhao Ning: "......"
This is the palace carriage. After Zhao Ning revealed his identity as Princess Yuanyang, he entered the palace unimpeded.
Then, he arrived at Princess Yuanyang's residence, changed his clothes and appearance, and left Qingjiang Palace directly.
He rushed to Chongli Palace.
The grand court meeting had not yet begun, but the area outside Chongli Palace was already crowded with people.
If it were an ordinary time, even ordinary low-ranking officials would do the same.
But for big shots like Wei Huan and Han Zhe, they would usually wait until after the officials to show their superior status compared to the people of the Li Kingdom.
Besides them, there is actually one person who has a similar status.
He is Zhao Ying, the Marquis of Changping.
Because the royal family and the Zhao family are originally one family, the Li Kings of each generation are the heads of the Zhao family.
But the head of the Zhao family does not have the same control over the royal family as other noble families, because what the royal family does cannot completely align with the interests of the Zhao family.
So besides the King of Li, there needs to be another person with high status and power to balance it out.
This person is the highest-ranking marquis in the Zhao family, with the oldest qualifications.
In terms of actual power, Zhao Ying is only slightly inferior to Wei Huan and Han Zhe.
Usually, these three are experts at being late.
But today.
They all arrived early and stood together with other officials, waiting for the grand court meeting to begin.
There is no other reason.
Last night was a sleepless night for countless people.
The conference halls of the Wei and Han families were brightly lit all night. Anyone with some status and position stayed up all night, afraid of missing any news from their own fiefdom.
Including Zhao Ying, he also closely followed the situation in the Wei and Han territories.
Because now, he is plotting to let the royal family alone take over the entire new territory.
The migration of the people from the Wei and Han territories is the last thing he wants to see.
Unfortunately, most of the intelligence resources of the royal family and the Zhao family are in the hands of Zhao Ji. Usually, most of the information can be shared with him, the Marquis of Changping.
But the news he received last night was pitifully little. He only knew that the people from the Wei and Han territories secretly migrated north during the big fire, and he didn't know any other details.
At this moment, he was hesitating whether to ask Wei Huan and Han Zhe.
But the conflicts between the Zhao, Wei, and Han families are already out in the open.
If he openly gets too close to Wei Huan and Han Zhe, it will definitely affect his image among the younger generation of the Zhao family.
After all... even if it is clear that he shares the same interests with the Wei and Han families in this matter, it cannot change the fact that the three of them do not like each other. How is it possible to ask for key information with a bad attitude?
It would greatly affect his image.
He has to endure it.
At this moment, the expressions of Wei Huan and Han Zhe were not very good either, because the situation in the Wei and Han territories was extremely unfavorable.
Although the houses that were burning out of thin air were all located in the downwind, there was no need to worry about the fire spreading.
But these houses were filled with various flammable materials, and it was not easy to extinguish the fire. Moreover, the Li Kingdom was located in the northernmost part of the entire Central Plains, and the weather was already relatively cold. The surface of the river was frozen, and clean water had turned into ice, greatly increasing the difficulty of extinguishing the fire.
Throughout the entire night, they failed to extinguish the fire.
They could only suppress the fire and wait for it to go out on its own.So, as the fire dwindled near dawn, they dispatched a portion of their troops and officials to search for the commoners who had fled amidst the chaos.
They initially thought that these troublemakers wouldn't have gotten far, and with such a large target, they would be easy to find.
However, up until now, they had almost nothing to show for their efforts.
Aside from a few unlucky souls who had lost their way, nearly ninety percent of the troublemakers seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, no matter how hard they searched.
Although they still didn't believe that all these troublemakers could have escaped to the new land, this situation had given them a great sense of crisis.
It seemed that this time, they could only cooperate with Zhao Ying.
As long as the Zhao family occupied all the temporary shelters they had set up, and then took the high ground at the grand court meeting, the matter of the new land falling completely into the hands of the Zhao people would be settled.
Zhao Ying must have thought the same.
Speaking of which, this fire might not necessarily be a bad thing.
It sounded absurd, but the Wei and Han families were actually standing together with old Zhao Ying.
Although they hadn't directly communicated with Zhao Ying.
But having Zhao Qi relay messages in between was enough.
They knew that Zhao Ji was both happy and anxious now.
But what use was that?
The matter of the royal family occupying the new land, we have decided!
The head of the Wei family.
The head of the Han family.
The Marquis of the royal family.
And a Lord of Pingling.
So many important people from various families, working together on the same thing, even if your prestige is high, Zhao Ji, you wouldn't dare to easily veto it, would you?
If you really want to go your own way, then we will lead the ministers to denounce you as a foolish ruler!
"Ah!"
Han Zhe suddenly laughed, pointing to the distance and said, "Brother Wei, Zhao Qi is coming!"
Wei Huan lifted his eyelids slightly, then immediately sent a voice message to Zhao Qi, "Lord Pingling! Today we must lend a helping hand to the Marquis of Changping, but after all, it's a matter of the Zhao family, so the main effort still needs to come from you!"
Zhao Qi: "......"
His facial muscles stiffened for a moment.
Nonsense!
Of course, I have to make an effort!
If I don't, I'll be exiled by my father!
