"You mean, you eat my food, live in my house, and if you're not satisfied, you'll kill me?"

"Damn it, bro, can you stop being so domineering? I'm the ruler of a country, you're making me lose face."

Liang Hao clenched his fist: "What, you dare to make demands of me? If you have any complaints..."

It's better to say it all at once. As for what will happen afterward, I can't give you a satisfactory answer.

Wu Yousheng immediately backed down: "What I mean is, can we discuss this matter? At least save me some face."

"Just tell me if you can do it or not."

Wu Yousheng met Liang Hao's malicious gaze, immediately shrank back, and whispered, "Logically speaking, this is quite difficult to handle..."

"Um?"

"But it's not that we can't set a precedent. If you want to live in the palace, you'll need a reason."

Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to those old fogies in the court, and you won't be able to live in peace either.

After thinking about it, Liang Hao realized that it made some sense.

"So what do you suggest we do?"

Wu Yousheng immediately laughed and said, "Since you're so skilled, why don't you teach me some exercises to strengthen my body?"

"This way, I'll have a reason to keep you in the palace. What do you think of this deal?"

Liang Hao sized up Wu Yousheng for a few moments, then pointed at him and asked, "How old are you this year, and what is your cultivation level?"

"Fifteen years old, with a cultivation level of the fourth grade of the Body Tempering Realm."

"Pah, trash!"

"Can't you give me some face? Don't make me lose face."

"Alright."

Liang Hao was unusually easy to talk to, and directly tossed out a copy of "The Qi Condensation Technique".

"This cultivation technique will greatly help you comprehend spiritual energy. You should take it and study it slowly. At the latest, you will be able to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm in three to five years."

Wu Yousheng was overjoyed, tightly gripping this treasure that Liang Hao considered introductory trash, but which he saw as an unparalleled skill.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange the palace immediately. May I ask how many immortals are visiting?"

"Including me, there are three of us."

"Understood. When are you coming?"

"You'd better make arrangements in the next couple of days."

"Very well, I guarantee the immortal will be satisfied."

"Yes, remember this: the person who came this time is no ordinary person. You must show him your utmost sincerity."

"How sincere are you? Are you going to treat them like your own parents?"

"This proposal is perfect. From this moment on, they are your parents!"

You don't need me to teach you how to treat your parents, do you?

"Although it sounds outrageous, I will still try my best to give them face."

After finishing his business, Liang Hao was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a book left on the bedside table and immediately asked, "What's this?"

"N-nothing..."

Wu Yousheng blushed and immediately tried to pick up the book.

As it turned out, Liang Hao got there first.

"The Plum in the Silver Vase? With illustrations?"

Liang Hao flipped through a few pages, then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Oh!"

Then, in a serious tone, he said, "Why would a ruler of a country spend all his time looking at these things?"

"Well... when you're growing, it's inevitable that you need to release some energy..."

"Damn it, you're the ruler of a country, do you really need this kind of thing?"

"I haven't taken any concubines yet, and I'm inexperienced in matters of the heart. I rely entirely on this book to satisfy my needs."

"Then you can find a few palace maids to practice with."

“It’s not that I’m afraid I won’t be good at it. If I can’t satisfy them, and word gets out that I’m not good enough, wouldn’t I lose face big time? So I’m practicing my skills first.”

"No, as the ruler of a country, one should set an example for all the people under heaven."

This kind of lousy book will only lead you to debauchery and a loss of ambition.

In order to help you become a wise and benevolent ruler, I will reluctantly keep this book safe for you.

After saying that, he stuffed the book into his pocket.

Wu Yousheng wanted to get his money back, but faced with Liang Hao's sinister gaze, he could only choose to remain silent.

"Alright, I'll bring your father and mother to visit you in a couple of days for a family reunion. Make the arrangements now, and I'll be leaving now!"

Wu Yousheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after Liang Hao left.

He felt both indignant and helpless at the thought of his comic books being taken away.

But when he looked at the Qi Condensation Technique in his hand, he felt relieved and couldn't wait to open it and start practicing.

An hour later, Wu Yousheng broke through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, and immediately felt radiant.

"Great! As long as I latch onto this powerful figure, let's see who dares to disrespect me in the future! It's just a matter of calling someone 'father' or 'mother'!"

My father said that a ruler must be able to bend and stretch; even the King of Yue endured hardship and humiliation to achieve his goal. What does a mere "father" or "mother" matter?

Thinking of this, Wu Yousheng shouted angrily, "Great Elder, where are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in purple robes immediately knelt before Wu Yousheng: "Your Majesty, this old servant is here."

"What are you doing? Aren't you in charge of my safety? Why haven't I seen you around?"

"This old servant recently ate something bad and just had diarrhea. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Damn it, I really didn't expect that you, a dignified seventh-grade Soul Sea Realm cultivator, would actually have diarrhea?"

"Your Majesty's words are really going too far. This old servant is a cultivator, not a god. It's not a problem for me to have diarrhea, is it?"

"Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you, but if there's a next time, I'll deduct your spirit stones for half a year."

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"

"That's all. You can get lost now. I have a new powerful figure to rely on, so I don't need to count on you anymore, you old codger."

"Then this old servant will take his leave."
