"Then let's study the Bloodline Chapter together, shall we?"

A warm breath brushed against Zhao Ning's earlobe, giving her a peculiar sensation that surged through her entire body.

She couldn't quite describe this feeling.

It was somewhat comfortable.

But it was the kind of comfort that would easily reveal embarrassment and lead to indulgence if one wasn't careful.

It was like on their wedding night when Ying Wuji asked her to do something excessive.

Her heart raced.

Her cheeks flushed.

She glared at Ying Wuji, her expression slightly annoyed.

Knowing Ying Wuji as well as she did, she was certain that this rascal did it on purpose.

Her mind was currently filled with cultivation, preparing for the upcoming Sword Immortal Conference.

So even though she didn't dislike Ying Wuji's actions at all, she still had to refuse.

But as she prepared to reject him, she realized a problem.

Throughout her life, she was skilled at rejecting women. After all, there were countless families seeking marriage with the royal family, and many beautiful women were infatuated with her handsome appearance.

Rejecting women was something she had experience in.

But rejecting men?

She really wasn't familiar with that!

Yet this mischievous boy was still leaning against her shoulder, showing no intention of leaving.

Zhao Ning mobilized her true energy, carefully controlling her breathing and heartbeat, and sighed lightly, saying, "Wuji, how about we focus on the important matters first? We have already paid respects to heaven and earth, and besides you, I won't submit to anyone else.

Right now, I just want to become stronger as soon as possible, or else I won't have the confidence to defeat Ying Wuque.

The Hanguang Sword is of great importance, and I must keep it in the Kingdom of Li and win it for you."

Ying Wuji smiled, "You're so preoccupied, how can you calm your mind and comprehend? The Confucianists emphasize doing without doing. You constantly bear a heavy burden, which greatly affects your cultivation.

Moreover, it's just a sword. How could I bear to let my wife engage in battles and killings for me?

Don't worry, my strength is stronger than you imagine, and with Han Juan by my side, Ying Wuque might not be able to defeat me!"

Zhao Ning naturally knew of Han Juan's existence. With the assistance of the number one spiritual cultivator, Ying Wuji's chances of winning would indeed increase. However, when facing a First-Rank Spiritual Fetus and even higher, the Zhuan Xu Emperor's Body...

It wasn't that Zhao Ning looked down on Ying Wuji.

It was just that she had a deep understanding of it. She herself was a First-Rank Spiritual Fetus and had also assimilated a drop of Zhuan Xu Emperor's Blood.

No one understood better than her how terrifying these two concepts were.

They could only be described with two words: War God!

On the battlefield, they were invincible.

In terms of individual combat power, she believed that there were not many below the Martial Realm who could surpass her.

And she was only a First-Rank Spiritual Fetus who had assimilated a drop of Zhuan Xu Emperor's Blood.

What about the Zhuan Xu Emperor's Body?

What if Ying Wuque broke through to the Thirteen Layers of Essence Refinement?

She was genuinely worried about Ying Wuji and also worried about the Hanguang Sword being left behind.

At this critical moment.

If anyone tried to stop her cultivation, she would definitely reprimand them loudly.

Even if Zhao Ji proposed it, she would firmly refuse.

But Ying Wuji's words just now, "How could I bear to let my wife engage in battles and killings for me," made it impossible for her to refuse.

Since she was young, she had been raised and trained as a prodigy. For the first time, she felt the sensation of being cared for as a woman.

She enjoyed this feeling.

But she couldn't help but be vigilant.

She was afraid that one moment of weakness would lead to the erosion of her will.

Zhao Ning took a deep breath, "But..."

Ying Wuji shook his head, "There's no 'but'! I am the authority when it comes to comprehension! Think about it, why did our father, the king, not comprehend it after the Zhuan Xu Ancient Calendar was released? Why was it me who comprehended it?"

"Why?" Zhao Ning was also a little curious, but subconsciously, she was convinced by Ying Wuji.

In this aspect, he was indeed an authority!

Ying Wuji smiled, "It's because all of you have too many concerns. Each person carries a heavy burden, and cultivation is not for the sake of cultivation but to achieve a certain goal for the Kingdom of Li. Can you comprehend anything like this?

For thousands of years, not a single lord has become a saint, but the various schools of thought have produced countless saints.

People say that this is a curse on the lords, but is it really true?

If the lords could be as pure as the scholars, nurturing a noble spirit like the Confucianists, comprehending the heavenly path like the Daoists, adhering to selflessness and universal love like the Mohists, could they not become saints?

Even the military strategists focus solely on studying battle formations and military systems. How could they have the same dedication as a king?"

Zhao Ning vaguely understood, "That makes sense!"

Ying Wuji stood up and gently kneaded her shoulders, "I thought about it. Why was I able to comprehend it? It's because after the Hundred Schools Conference, I had nothing else to do and focused solely on comprehending the mysteries of these things. That's why I was fortunate enough to have a sudden enlightenment. So, the most important thing for you right now is to completely relax. That's your task!"

Zhao Ning couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling that it was a waste of time, "Actually, I'm not that tired..."

Ying Wuji asked, "Ning'er, how long has it been since you last rested? I mean, the kind of sleep where you sleep when you're tired and wake up when you're not?"

Zhao Ning: "..."

How long?

She couldn't remember.

Even during the Hundred Schools Conference, when Zhao Ji specifically asked her to rest, she was busy with various matters outside the palace.

Rest?

Do I deserve to rest?

This was the first time Zhao Ning was asked to sleep properly, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

In a daze, she felt that Ying Wuji seemed to be doing something.

When she turned around to look, she found that he had taken out a large and comfortable-looking bed from his bracelet.

No!

That wasn't the point of focus.

Zhao Ning was shocked, "Wuji, why did you bring this in?"

Ying Wuji smiled, "Of course, it's for you to rest!"Zhao Ning: "Okay, okay..."

Ying Wuji directly grabbed her wrist: "There is still more than a month until the Immortal Sword Conference, one day won't make a difference. If you really don't want to waste time, listen to my recent insights before bed.

I won't talk about the sky and the earth, you are more familiar with that than me.

But as for Zhuanxu's ancient calendar, you haven't comprehended much, and I learned a lot from Mi Xingli.

Each person has different understandings of the same chapter.

Let me just say it.

You just listen.

Time won't be wasted, but your main task is to rest well, understand?"

His tone was very gentle.

But it revealed an indisputable meaning.

Zhao Ning couldn't refuse either, so she could only nod and quickly lie down on the bed, clutching her clothes tightly, her heart pounding.

She was sharing a bed with Ying Wuji again.

But for some reason, this time she was even more nervous than on their wedding night.

It was like, last time they shared a bed as brothers, but this time it was with... a confidante?

Could it be because of what Wuji comforted her just now?

She wasn't sure.

All she knew was that her heart was beating fast.

Especially when she felt Wuji lie down beside her, his breathing also became rapid.

He!

He turned towards her!

Zhao Ning quickly said, "I think you're right, let's sleep!"

Ying Wuji chuckled, "How can you relax with such thick clothes on?"

"Then..."

"Take them off!"

"But..."

"In terms of comprehension, I am the authority!"

"Okay, okay..."

Zhao Ning bit her lip and reluctantly took off her outer clothes.

Ying Wuji said again, "Just taking off the outer clothes is not enough, the cotton robe inside is still so thick!"

"Okay..."

"How many layers are there? But it's true, it's quite cold in the north, continue taking them off!"

"Um..."

"Why is there still a lining inside? Keep going..."

"Wuji!"

Zhao Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore, "There's only one layer left, I can't take off anymore!"

She hadn't even been so open with Ying Wuji on their wedding night, how could she easily do it now?

Ying Wuji finally laughed, "You sound so trembling, I just want you to rest, not do anything inappropriate. If you don't want to take it off, then don't, just lie down quickly.

This bed is made of specially crafted goose down, it's very soft, specifically for you to rest, so hurry up and praise me?"

Zhao Ning smiled and tried the bed, it was indeed quite soft.

"It's really good!"

She praised with a smile and lay down again.

But she found that there was an arm lying across the pillow, and as soon as she lay down, Ying Wuji hugged her in his arms.

Both of them were only wearing a thin inner lining, unable to block each other's temperature and breath.

Zhao Ning's emotions became somewhat out of control, feeling even more like she had fallen.

Feeling her slight resistance, Ying Wuji spoke in a warm voice, "Relax, I won't do anything to you! We're just brothers, don't you trust me?"

"Pfft!"

Zhao Ning was inexplicably amused by the phrase "just brothers", unable to help but laugh out loud, and her emotions relaxed a lot.

She pondered for a moment, "Of course I trust you! But Wuji, I still want to ask you, are you really talking about comprehension, or do you just want me to rest for a while?"

Ying Wuji didn't answer, but asked, "What if it's the former?"

Zhao Ning said seriously, "I will listen to you!"

Ying Wuji asked again, "And if it's the latter, will you not listen to me?"

Zhao Ning thought for a moment, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "I will still listen to you!"

Ying Wuji grinned, "Since the answers are the same, why did you ask me?"

"They're not the same!"

"What's different?"

"They're just different!"

Zhao Ning pondered seriously about the difference between the two, and added, "The former is a matter of public affairs, while the latter is a private matter. Which one are you referring to?"

Ying Wuji smiled, "Which one do you prefer?"

"I'm asking you!"

"Of course, I care about you!"

"..."

Zhao Ning's heart softened a bit, unable to help but shake her head. No wonder he could coax Li Caimei like a silly girl, he really knew how to talk.

But... it should all be true, right?

After staying in the new land in the north for so long, feeling exhausted and nowhere to rest, she finally found solace at this moment.

She smiled lightly, "Thank you, Wuji!"

"No problem!"

Ying Wuji tightened his arm and whispered, "You sleep, I'll talk about Zhuanxu's ancient calendar, just treat it as listening to a story!"

Zhao Ning lazily hummed, "Okay! Make it sound more interesting."

Ying Wuji smiled and began to tell, "Zhuanxu once said that humans are born from their mothers, while demons are born from their demon mothers, but ultimately, humans originated from demons, so there is the concept of bloodline..."

His voice was very gentle, like telling a story to a child.

Zhao Ning seemed to be very receptive to this, her breathing becoming more and more steady, and she fell asleep after just hearing the beginning of the bloodline chapter.

She fell asleep so quickly for the first time.

Feeling at ease.

This was the first time she understood the feeling of "falling asleep in her husband's embrace" that Li Caimei mentioned.

"Ah..."

Ying Wuji gently stroked her back, feeling a bit emotional.

Honestly, Zhao Ning's figure was amazing.

There was not a trace of excess fat on her body.

Her long legs were straight and unaffected by horse riding. In her current sleeping position, they happened to be wrapped around his waist, making his heart flutter.

And there were other places.

Like touching her belly button with her hand, or placing a coin on her collarbone, she had no problem with any of them.

Even her feminine assets were extremely abundant, she didn't know if binding her chest would promote development.

Although she couldn't compare to Mi Xingli, she could definitely surpass most women in the world.

What was even more extraordinary was her face.It is said that girls with masculine features are more likely to have goddess-like faces.

Zhao Ning is probably the best example, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips.

Unfortunately, this kind of restrained and studious appearance is so enticing.

It makes Ying Wuji have the urge to prepare black silk high heels and gold-rimmed glasses for her.

Such a beauty in his arms.

It is impossible not to be moved.

But Ying Wuji feels her peaceful breathing and can't help but feel heartache.

He slowly adjusts his energy.

He calms himself down.

Let her rest!

Besides, he still has important matters to attend to!

Ying Wuji smiled and slowly closed his eyes.

Entering the dream, he chose a familiar star from the starry sky and gently pulled her into the dream.

Dreams!

This thing is strange.

Some dreams, after you wake up, leave no impression at all.

Some dreams can only leave a few images in your mind, often flashing back in an inadvertent moment.

Some can make your memory incredibly clear, as if you have experienced it firsthand.

During this time.

Ying Wuji has been using the Tianhu Dream Technique intensively, and he is already very familiar with controlling dreams.

He naturally knows how much space there is for manipulation.

Since condensing the Superb Spirit Fetus, his divine consciousness has surpassed all experts in the Transformation Realm, and only Juezi Ge can compete with him.

It is easy to manipulate Zhao Ning.

So.

Zhao Ning had a strange dream.

The scene in the dream was the stone room where she was in seclusion.

In the dream, she was holding Zhuanxu's ancient calendar and meditating, occasionally looking up at the formation in the stone room that was painted like stars.

Soon.

She understood!

She didn't know what she had realized.

But she had a feeling: I definitely realized something.

Then she felt a warm breath suddenly appear in her blood, the temperature getting higher and higher, from warm to scorching, rushing through her blood vessels and meridians.

At this moment, she felt that her life had sublimated.

The last time she experienced this was when she condensed the Superb Spirit Fetus.

In this dream, it felt like being in her mother's womb.

Every breath of time, she could feel the world becoming more vivid, waiting for her spiritual body to be completed.

She didn't know how long had passed.

Zhao Ning suddenly opened her eyes, feeling the noble blood flowing in her body, and she was in a state of extreme joy, eager to share it with Ying Wuji.

This method actually worked.

Just by vaguely hearing Ying Wuji's insights on bloodlines, it had such a terrifying effect.

Although she was still far from truly becoming Zhuanxu's body, this change made her ecstatic.

Moreover, she had already realized it!

She could refine Zhuanxu's body solely through cultivation.

But when she looked at Ying Wuji, who was lying on his back snoring, she hesitated to wake him up.

"Cough, cough!"

Ying Wuji seemed to have been choked by saliva, and quickly sat up, coughing a few times to clear his throat.

He turned to look at Zhao Ning, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "How long did you sleep before waking up? Go back to sleep!"

"I'm not sleeping! I'm not sleeping!"

Zhao Ning grabbed Ying Wuji's hand excitedly and said, "Wuji! I realized something, look!"

As she spoke, she activated the Zhuanxu Emperor's Blood in her body.

In terms of concentration, it was more than ten times stronger than when she broke through the Transformation Realm just now.

Ying Wuji was taken aback, "So strong? Are you not injured?"

"No!"

Only then did Zhao Ning remember that when Ying Wuji had his realization, he went berserk and almost died.

She only learned about it later from Li Caimei's letter, and she wasn't scared to death.

"Are you really okay? Let me check!"

Ying Wuji looked worried and pretended to carefully examine her.

Zhao Ning blushed, thinking that he was worried about her, and allowed his little actions.

After a while.

"It's really okay!"

Ying Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said somewhat sourly, "The Superb Spirit Fetus is really powerful, huh? The effect of my realization was not even one-third of yours, and I almost lost my life. Your effect is so good, and your body is fine. By the way, do you remember what you realized?"

"I remember!"

Zhao Ning was very confident because in the dream, the feeling of "I realized it" was very clear.

Ying Wuji quickly said, "Then quickly tell me, I don't want to be weak!"

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Of course, it's not difficult! It's just..."

She paused.

She clearly remembered that she had realized something.

But she couldn't remember what she had realized in the dream.

"Ah, this, this, this..."

She was a little panicked. How could she forget the technique she realized to refine Zhuanxu's body?

Ying Wuji couldn't help but chuckle.

What can you realize!

Isn't it something I filled you with?

He asked softly, "Forgot?"

Zhao Ning felt a bit dejected, "Forgot! I can't remember anything."

Ying Wuji gently embraced her and said, "Forgetting is normal. At least you remember that you realized something. I directly lost my memory when I had my realization! I guess heaven doesn't want us to remember, after all, it's too heaven-defying. If everyone in the Zhao clan had the Emperor's body, it wouldn't be good, right? Don't be discouraged, at least you have no side effects. Maybe you still have a chance to realize it. It's still early, before the Sword Immortal Conference, there is a good chance to fully achieve the Emperor's body."

Speaking of which, he also wanted to accomplish everything in one fell swoop.

But Zhao Ning's ability to withstand the Superb Spirit Fetus was indeed much worse than his.

Only one-third of the blood energy was infused into her body, and she couldn't digest it.

But as long as she cultivates diligently, half a month should be enough.

Zhao Ning sighed softly, "It's just that this kind of opportunity is hard to come by..."Ying Wuji waved his hand: "At least it proves that our method is correct! So, for the time being, during the day, you can study the ancient calendar and practice cultivation. Don't think about anything at night, just rest well.

Do what you can and leave the rest to fate!

If the "Two Saints" of the Yang Zhu lineage are true, you will definitely gain a lot, and maybe even I, as a scholar, can benefit from it.

Don't worry, I'll hold you and you'll sleep soundly!"

Zhao Ning: "......"

Although she didn't know the principle behind it, she felt that Ying Wuji was probably right.

This kid is just a bit narcissistic.

But narcissism is narcissism.

And he does sleep soundly.

Just thinking about being able to cultivate and rest without thinking about anything for a period of time, with this kid by her side, she actually looked forward to it.

She bit her lip and smiled lightly: "Okay!"

Ying Wuji, however, was a bit in pain.

Of course, it's happy to live with a beautiful wife.

But it's a bit annoying to live together and do nothing.

There's no way.

In order to stabilize his little family.

He can only take it slowly.

When Zhao Ning gives birth to the body of Emperor Zhuanxu, there should be no more grievances between him and the Zhao family.

Kingdom Qian?

Not even worth mentioning!

Go back and fight with Ying Wuque for food?

The last time Lao Bi Deng did that, it really disgusted him.

In the next few days.

It can be said that these were the happiest days for Zhao Ning.

Although there was no day or night in the stone room, they could still determine the time through the formation.

During the day, she would discuss the ancient calendar and practice with Ying Wuji, feeling like she could let go of all burdens and focus on cultivation, and her comprehension would improve rapidly.

At night, she wouldn't think about anything.

The two of them would lie on the bed and chat, sleep when they were tired, it was truly enjoyable.

Not every day could she have insights in her dreams.

But in ten days, she had three insights.

She was so happy that she felt silly.

The only thing that troubled her was that she was becoming more and more sensitive to Ying Wuji's body. The long-sealed male and female consciousness had gradually been released.

So when she slept in Ying Wuji's arms, her mood became more and more shy and uneasy, and it became more difficult for her to fall asleep.

She could even often feel the changes in Ying Wuji's body, but she didn't dare to easily reveal it, afraid that something uncontrollable would happen if she did.

Finally.

Ten days passed.

In her dream.

Zhao Ning had a sudden intuition, her whole body's blood vessels completely connected, and the somewhat stagnant Emperor Zhuanxu's blood in her body completely merged with her.

Every inch of her skin seemed to tremble with pleasure.

She suddenly opened her eyes from her dream.

Her heart was filled with endless joy.

Ying Wuji was awakened by such a big movement, and he opened his sleepy eyes: "Ning'er, did you have another enlightenment? Has the body of Emperor Zhuanxu formed?"

Of course it has!

Zhao Ning was extremely delighted, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back.

If I say it has formed.

Does that mean this period of time is over?

Ten days in the stone room, without sunlight, felt like an eternity.

When she was young, she was most afraid of seclusion in the stone room.

But now, she was somewhat reluctant to leave this place.

Here.

She couldn't feel any pressure, there were no ministers urging her to review memorials, no king and queen mother admonishing her not to slack off, and no Di Kingdom army that could attack at any time on the front lines.

There was only Ying Wuji, who had a gentle personality.

Although he sometimes crossed the line, he still had his limits.

And she didn't dislike Ying Wuji crossing the line, she even... looked forward to it!

If I say it.

Will these days be gone?

Outside, there's the king, the queen mother, and countless people watching her.

The only place where she can freely interact with Ying Wuji is in the Qingjiang Palace and the Marquis Mansion.

But in these two places.

On one side, there's Li Caimei.

On the other side, there's Hua Chao.

Ying Wuji saw her silence and asked, "Has the body of Emperor Zhuanxu formed?"

"No!"

Zhao Ning denied it, but she felt her emotions becoming a bit excited, and then explained, "What I mean is, it's just a little bit away. If I can have another enlightenment in my dream, maybe it will completely form. Anyway, we still have time, right?"

Ying Wuji: "......"

He couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, my silly wife!

Do I know if your body has formed?

He rubbed Zhao Ning's face with sleepy eyes: "Got it! Then let's stay a few more days, we still have plenty of time! I'm sleepy, let's continue sleeping!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Ning softly responded and nestled in his arms, listening to his steady breathing.

Her heart was in chaos.

What am I...

Maybe what the king said is right, love between a man and a woman does make people weak?

But this feeling, I really can't resist it!

Ying Wuji held her shoulders and his heart was also bubbling with joy.

Originally, he planned to quickly achieve their goal, helping Zhao Ning achieve the Emperor's body with one "enlightenment in a dream", but because the energy was too immense, it took ten days.

But unexpectedly.

There was a pleasant surprise.

Although he had always regarded Zhao Ning as a woman, her words and actions always carried a bit of "princely air".

Sometimes it felt like he was messing around with a guy.

But now.

"My Ning'er is completely a girl!"

Ying Wuji's mouth couldn't help but curve up, he wanted to pat his waist, damn it, I'm so awesome.

At this moment.

Zhao Ning suddenly raised her head: "Wuji!"

Ying Wuji drowsily responded: "Hmm?"

Zhao Ning bit her lip and whispered, "You... have you been enduring a lot these past few days?"

Huh?

Ying Wuji suddenly became alert.

What did she say?

What did she mean by that?He coughed lightly, "Indeed, it's a bit difficult, but the overall situation is more important. Although the Taixing Transformation is the number one method in the world, it's really hard to conceal the fetal energy..."

Zhao Ning whispered, "But you're enduring a lot of discomfort!"

Ying Wuji's heart started beating faster, "Then..."

Zhao Ning bit her lip and leaned close to his ear, whispering, "I, I can try again. It won't be as rough as our wedding night."

Ying Wuji: "..."

Seeing that she was about to do something excessive, Ying Wuji acted on impulse and kissed her directly.

As their breaths became heavier and heavier, he couldn't hold on anymore.

Damn the fetal energy, he just wanted to throw it away.

"Ning'er, can we..."

"No!"

Zhao Ning covered his mouth, her breathing becoming rapid, but there was still a smile on her lips.

...

Three more days passed.

"Boom!"

The stone door opened again.

Zhao Ning took a lingering look inside, gently hugged Ying Wuji, and smiled, "Let's go!"

These last three days felt like a dream.

Even without crossing the bottom line, it was...

It could only be said that Wuji was too knowledgeable in bed.

"Mm!"

Ying Wuji smiled and responded.

Zhao Ning nodded and activated the Taixing Transformation, returning to the appearance of the Crown Prince.

Elegant and handsome.

Ying Wuji grinned, fortunately he also mastered the Taixing Transformation and could see through her true appearance at any time. Otherwise, it would really feel like doing something inappropriate.

But now, even though Zhao Ning had returned to the appearance of the Crown Prince, her gaze towards him seemed somewhat different compared to before.

He couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.

Ying Wuji shook his head and said, "Let's go!"

The two of them left the underground palace side by side and returned to Chongli Palace.

Zhao Ji was currently sitting opposite Luo Yan, with three cups of wine on the table. There was no formal etiquette between them, it was like two old friends chatting.

However, Luo Yan's appearance had aged a bit.

There was a hint of worry in their conversation.

The formation in the underground palace was connected to Zhao Ji, so when the stone chamber opened, he had a faint sense of it and heard footsteps. He pointed to the side, "Hasn't he already arrived?"

Luo Yan followed the sound and saw Ying Wuji coming out, and the anxiety in his eyes finally eased.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Prime Minister!"

The two of them bowed side by side.

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "No need for formalities! How was the closed-door cultivation this time?"

Ying Wuji smiled and looked at Zhao Ning.

Without further delay, Zhao Ning stood still and swiped her fingertip in the air, sending out a strand of fresh blood from her palm.

Under the surging blood, a strong pressure spread out, making people unable to help but feel a sense of reverence.

Zhao Ji's eyes widened, and even though he was usually composed, his voice couldn't help but become excited, "Has the Emperor's Body been achieved?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty! Yes, it has!"

Zhao Ning smiled faintly.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Zhao Ji repeated the word "good" three times and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In fact, he had already had this feeling these past few days.

Because for more than ten consecutive days, these two children had shown no signs of progress.

If they hadn't realized anything at all, they wouldn't have stayed motionless for so long.

Something must have happened in these past ten days!

Zhao Ji thought that Zhao Ning might have had a breakthrough, but it was only a possibility. He never dared to think that the Emperor's Body had completely awakened, because even with the increase in Wuji's bloodline concentration, he almost lost his life.

Unexpectedly, it had really happened.

His mouth almost reached his temples, and he turned to look at Ying Wuji, "What about you?"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "Thanks to Your Highness, when she had her realization in her dream, it somehow affected me. I was lucky enough to benefit from it once, and my bloodline has improved, but it's still far from the Emperor's Body!"

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand to comfort him, "Don't be disheartened. Victory and defeat are common in warfare, especially for a literary person like you!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Right!

I'm a literary person, why should I be disheartened?

His father-in-law was really... too real.

But his behavior also confirmed Ying Wuji's guess.

With the awakening of the main wife, the grudges between him and the Zhao family should be gone.

Ying Wuji turned to look at Luo Yan, "Luo Xiang! Weren't you supposed to leave for the new territory a long time ago?"

"Ah!"

Luo Yan sighed deeply, "Since the Marquis hasn't come out of seclusion, how can I go to see my daughter alone? I can't let go of my worries, and I'm always reluctant to leave."

"I see!"

Ying Wuji didn't know what to say when he saw the cautious appearance of this old man. He also felt a complex feeling in his heart.

In fact, he had long lost the disdain he had for Luo Yan in the beginning.

This person, besides being a bit confused in his emotions and easily getting close to the people around him, couldn't be considered bad at his core.

And now he had truly realized how he had wronged Hua Chao in the past, otherwise he wouldn't have refrained from secretly meeting her for so long during his closed-door cultivation.

"As for the new territory..."

"The new territory is temporarily taken care of by my son, Luo Ming. That kid is quite talented, and the tasks in the new territory are not too heavy."

"I see!"

For the full version, visit [ pawℝead.com ].

Ying Wuji turned to Zhao Ji, "Your Majesty, is there anything else? If not, I'll take Luo Xiang to see his daughter!"

Zhao Ji nodded, "Go ahead!"

Luo Yan quickly stood up and bowed to Zhao Ji, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he grabbed Ying Wuji's arm and eagerly left Chongli Palace.

His steps were fast.

But he looked shaky, as if he would fall apart if he wasn't careful.

Inside the palace.Zhao Ning couldn't help but glance at their backs. This was the first time he had been separated from Ying Wuji in thirteen days, and he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Thinking back to the uncontrollable scene of the last three days, she couldn't help but doubt: was that really me?

Except for the last step, she had done everything she could.

Originally, she had only heard a few words from the secret conversation between Li Caimei and Wuji, but unexpectedly, she and Wuji had put it all into practice.

I must be crazy.

"Ninger?"

"Ah?"

Zhao Ning snapped back to reality and quickly bowed, "Father King!"

Zhao Ji looked at her quietly. He had raised this daughter from childhood and knew her personality well, but he had never seen her in such a distracted state before.

This appearance made him somewhat uneasy.

But seeing Zhao Ning's eyes return to clarity, still the handsome and awakened Zhuan Xu Emperor, he felt slightly relieved.

He asked in a deep voice, "Do you remember the method of awakening?"

Zhao Ning sighed lightly, "I only remember having some vague insights in my dream, but I forgot everything when I woke up!"

Zhao Ji had already anticipated this result.

How could such a terrifying secret technique have no restrictions at all?

It was already good enough to have some insights!

Zhao Ji smiled, "That's great! With your awakened Emperor's body, the Great Li will no longer fear Kingdom Qian. With your bloodline and the offspring you and Wuji will have, it's possible for them to awaken the Emperor's body as well."

Zhao Ning paused for a moment, feeling a warmth in her heart, and nodded, "Yes!"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Ji's eager gaze slightly diminished, but he still smiled, "Wait for another three months. When the new barren land is developed, you and Wuji can prepare for the offspring!

After giving birth to the offspring, you can completely free yourself from the troubles of love and focus on politics.

By then, I will arrange for you to ascend the throne!"

Freeing herself from the troubles of love?

Zhao Ning stiffened for a moment, suddenly recalling the conditions set on the night of the arranged marriage. Zhao Ji made her swear that after giving birth to the offspring, she must make a blood oath to never have any intimate contact with Ying Wuji again.

Thinking of this, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

Bitter!

Too bitter.

But she knew that Zhao Ji was right.

That kind of feeling was too captivating and could easily erode one's will.

It had only been three days, and she hadn't even crossed the bottom line yet, but it had already made her so obsessed.

If...

If it was someone else who had a physical relationship with her, she wouldn't be so terrified, because even if it affected the interests of the Great Li, she could just kill them directly.

But Ying Wuji...

She didn't know if she could bring herself to do it. She had never felt that kind of feeling of being cherished as a woman from anyone else.

She knew what Zhao Ji was worried about.

Even if Ying Wuji didn't have ambitions, there would still be people around him who would make him ambitious.

So.

The best choice was for her to maintain absolute rationality and always keep the most appropriate distance from Ying Wuji.

This would be good for Ying Wuji.

Good for Li Caimei.

Good for Kingdom Li.

Good for herself.

Especially now that she had awakened the Zhuan Xu Emperor's body, everything would follow the correct path.

She must not ruin the most beautiful ending that she should have because of her personal feelings.

Moreover, even if Wuji lost her, he still had several true confidantes who cared for him.

It's not bitter.

Just a moment of hesitation.

She took a deep breath, "I understand, Father!"

Zhao Ji nodded in satisfaction, "You may go! Cultivate well. The Hanguang Sword must stay in Kingdom Li for this Sword Immortal Convention!"

Zhao Ning nodded, "Yes!"

...

Outside the Minister's Mansion, a carriage was parked.

Ying Wuji leaned against the door frame of the carriage, feeling at ease.

After waiting for a while, a series of footsteps sounded.

An old and young couple walked out of the Minister's Mansion hand in hand. Compared to the last time they appeared together, Luo Yan had aged a lot, and Hua Wanqiu seemed to have lost some of her youthful charm. Although she was still beautiful, she had become haggard and sensitive.

Perhaps it was because she had been confined at home for too long.

Speaking of which, he was also partly to blame.

Ying Wuji sighed and jumped off the carriage, solemnly bowing to the two, "Uncle and Miss, please!"

Hearing the word "Uncle," Luo Yan couldn't help but take another look at Ying Wuji.

Hua Wanqiu also paused for a moment, then smiled at Ying Wuji, with a complex expression on her face, a mix of gratitude, eagerness, and a hint of resentment that may or may not exist.

But it had to be said.

"The Soul Crossing of Danqing" was a major turning point in her life.

Since then, her life had collapsed, and she had been confined to the Minister's Mansion.

Today was the first time she had come out.

She had blamed Ying Wuji before because it was Ying Wuji who had forbidden her from going out.

But later, she thought about it. Her life was also saved by him.

Moreover, his demands were also for Hua Chao.

That girl who felt so familiar to her.

"Ah!"

She let out a sigh and got into the carriage with Luo Yan.

Ying Wuji acted as the coachman, flicked the whip, and the carriage headed towards the Marquis Mansion.

There was silence for a long time.

Ying Wuji felt a bit anxious. He was certain that Hua Chao also wanted to see this couple, not to return to the family, but to bring closure.

To give this "family relationship" a dignified ending.

She didn't want to hate Luo Yan. Her childhood experiences made it impossible for her to face Luo Yan as a father.

She also wanted to have a final meeting with Hua Wanqiu, the memories of their time together.

To bid farewell properly.

But...

Would this meeting resolve her inner conflicts?

Luo Yan suddenly spoke, "Wuji!"This time, he didn't call him "son-in-law", which seemed somewhat cordial.

Ying Wuji didn't correct him, and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "In this Sword Immortal Conference, both Hongchen and Danqing will appear. Hongchen is targeting you, and although Danqing is not, he has depicted a very powerful character who harbors deep hatred towards you.

Perhaps you should not participate in this Sword Immortal Conference?"

Ying Wuji asked, "The person you're talking about, is it Ji Su?"

Luo Yan nodded, "Yes! Nine Flames Absolute Vein, a first-grade spirit embryo. In just one month, under the name of Ji Sanxi, he has become the top expert among the royal family of the Flame Kingdom."

Ying Wuji curled his lips.

This sect of mine, it's really damn noisy!

They're everywhere!
