She already had a whisk, so why did the Empress send her another one?

And the one she was holding was a gift from her.

The Empress is being far too perfunctory.

Thinking about it, I still took the contents out of the wooden box. This whisk was strange; it became invisible under the light, as if it didn't exist.

She was secretly pleased; this was interesting.

I was just about to test the power of this whisk.

Suddenly I felt something was wrong.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The whisk transformed into a sword, its surface gleaming with a dazzling light, and a terrifying aura swirled around it.

She reached out and touched the blade, and came to a conclusion.

This is a divine weapon.

It's truly ingenious, combining the whisk and the sword into two forms.

She really liked the gift; she never thought that one thing could serve two purposes.

The Empress has so many tricks up her sleeve.

She really liked the gift.

She gently bit her lip, her eyes sparkling with joy, and transformed the sword back into a whisk, turning around with the whisk in her arms.

I plan to have a happy Lunar New Year with everyone.

...

Retirement village.

The Left and Right Prime Ministers also began to unpack the gifts Wu Xiao had given her. They each received what they wanted and were very happy.

Looking at your expressions, Wu Xiao smiled broadly, knowing that the Prime Minister and the Grand Preceptor must have already opened the gifts he had given them.

"Empress, what is yours?" the Left and Right Prime Ministers asked, suddenly noticing that the Sumeru Ring on Wu Xiao's hand had changed.

They all stared intently at the Sumeru Ring, asking Wu Xiao where it came from.

"Given by Li Ming."

"Huh..."

"I'm not telling you."

Wu Xiao secretly returned to her room.

She planned to see what her mother-in-law would give her.

I opened it with great interest.

I saw two words.

"The art of seduction."

"Why did she give me this? What's the use of it?"

Wu Xiao felt that her mother-in-law was a bit strange. Last time she gave her bedroom arts, and now she was giving her seduction arts.

None of them seem serious.

It'd better put it away quickly; it would be very embarrassing if Li Ming saw it.

...

Yunmeng Sect.

The scene was completely opposite to what was happening outside; there was no joy or celebration whatsoever.

On this New Year's Day, Li Ming was still a couch potato, and things were no different from any other day.

Mainly, he was used to the quiet.

"Brother, I have something for you."

Green Ivy trotted over, holding a seashell in both hands, and came to Li Ming, saying, "This thing makes a sound when you blow on it."

It was a seashell she found, and she carved something on it.

Thank you.

Li Ming gently rubbed her cheek, then smiled and said:

"Green Ivy, you're not a child anymore. You can't keep making excuses not to study. How about I teach you to read in a few days? I'll give you a set of practice questions first. Do them and I'll see what level you're at."

Green Ivy looked dejected and immediately drew a knife, intending to kill Li Ming on New Year's Day.

The black dog smiled from a distance.
