Shen Zhao, who transmigrated into the Immortal Martial Continent, was forced by the system to humbly fawn over the Empress for nine lifetimes.
However, what he thought was true love that coul...
"No problem, we really need to ask Hundred Flowers Valley about this."
Ding Bu'er couldn't stop smiling.
With this matter settled, Shen Zhao looked at Liang Hao again: "Brother, now that you and Miss Huang have consummated your marriage, you can't mistreat her."
In a few days, pick any items you like from here, go to Chunyang Palace to take care of your business, and after you welcome Miss Huang back, call your fellow disciples over.
Your older brother will personally arrange your wedding.
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao immediately said, "Brother, I was planning to ask you to let me know when we're going to Chunyang Palace these past few days. Since Ting-mei is willing to come with me, I won't let her down."
As for the bride price and such, I've already prepared them, and I guarantee I can bring Tingmei over smoothly.
"What dowry? I don't know anything about that."
Shen Zhao asked suspiciously.
Liang Hao took out a box and placed it heavily on the table.
"The head of a quasi-emperor—such a generous gift! I think the people of Chunyang Palace will definitely not refuse it, and they will be overjoyed to let me bring Tingmei back~"
The entire venue was deathly silent.
Shen Zhao stared at Liang Hao as if he were an idiot, then patted him on the shoulder after a long while and said earnestly, "Brother, why don't you reconsider? Take my advice and change the bride price, okay?"
"Brother, there's no need to persuade me!" Liang Hao said proudly. "The resources of Saint Monarch Rock were hard-won by us. How can we let them go to Chunyang Palace for nothing?"
"I'm using this head to show them one thing: I, Liang Hao, am capable of taking care of Tingmei, and I have the ability to give her the happiness she wants!"
"Hiss~"
Shen Zhao gasped, and seeing Liang Hao's confident expression, she felt too embarrassed to try to persuade him further.
So he tactfully said to Linghu Ming and Fahai, "Brother Linghu, Master Fahai, would you please accompany Brother Liang to Chunyang Palace?"
Linghu Ming immediately understood Shen Zhao's intention and said, "Alright, I'll go with Brother Liang then."
Fahai: "Amitabha, don't worry, benefactor. They are all brothers. Buddha will protect him."
Shen Zhao nodded and continued, "Come on, everyone, have a good meal and drinks today."
He then whispered to Su Yunying, "Yunying, I'll make you suffer for a few more days. After you've had some time to rest, I'll go and take down the Supreme Peak of the Demon Realm for you too."
Su Yunying blushed and quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't want to. Brother Shen, you know I simply..."
"Shh, don't refuse. You'll hurt a lot of people's feelings if you say that."
"Um……"
"By the way, about your mother."
“She went to Qifeng Mountain, Brother Shen. I don’t want to mention her for now.”
"Okay, then let's not talk about it."
"Um."
Su Yunying lowered her head, took the wine cup from in front of Shen Zhao, and replaced it with a cup of spiritual spring water.
"Brother Chen, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. You should drink some water instead."
"Okay, whatever you say..."
For the first time in nine generations, Shen Zhao experienced the feeling of being cared for by the person he admired.
Su Yunying thought to herself: Shen Lang can no longer drink too much alcohol in the future, I must take care of his daily life.
Clearly, Su Yunying herself was unaware that the idea of restraining Shen Zhao had already begun to sprout deep within her heart.
...
Chang'an City, Huangji Palace.
Yu Xiyan stood in the back garden, amidst the flowers, and closed her eyes in deep thought.
A single thought can stir up a storm around you.
She suddenly opened her eyes and slightly raised her jade-like arm.
"The Seven Arts of Yin Fu: Nourishing the Spirit Tortoise's Will!"
In an instant, his protective true energy erupted, completely destroying the surrounding sea of flowers.
After the first move, her eyes were filled with surprise.
"The drop of blood that Shen Zhao dripped into the depths of my soul before his death in his previous life could actually unleash such power."
This move contains an unknown power; I vaguely sensed a scene of the Great Dao resonating within me.
This feeling far surpasses that of an innate Dao body; what exactly is it?
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists slightly, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"Ice Phoenix - Song of the New Year and Morning Rainbow!"
With another sword move, the sea of flowers in the Imperial Garden burst into bloom, and the power of the sword instantly shocked Yu Xiyan.
"If it weren't for the loss of his innate Dao body, this sword technique, which only used 30% of his Yuan Gong, could have directly destroyed the entire Imperial Garden."
"Your Majesty~"
Just then, Shangguan Qiuyue jogged over to Yu Xiyan's side and handed her a copy of the latest issue of Hundred Flowers Valley newspaper.
"What's this?"
"Your Majesty, this is a newly printed commemorative tale from Hundred Flowers Valley, stating that Su Yunying, the young master of Qifeng Mountain, has become the new owner of the Seven-Colored Saintly Monarch Rock."
Now, she is grandly summoning all the skilled craftsmen in the world to go to the southern region and build a new city called Luoyang.
"What!"
Yu Xiyan snatched the newspaper and carefully read its contents.
"hateful!"
In her emotional outburst, Yu Xiyan blew a gust of wind through her palm, instantly turning the newspaper in her hand to ashes.
"Su Yunying doesn't have that ability, it must be Shen Zhao, only Shen Zhao could do it! Damn it, he actually helped Su Yunying take down Saint Monarch Rock!"
Her pent-up resentment turned into boundless rage, and the surrounding scenery instantly transformed into a frozen, snowy landscape due to Yu Xiyan's emotional fluctuations.
"I will not let you succeed, Shen Zhao. You can only belong to me, and you can only fight for me on the battlefield."
You can only run errands for me; only I am the one who loves you the most!
Since you intend to betray me, I will certainly not let you get away with it.
I want you to always remember that I am the one you should truly love.
After a long while, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Autumn Moon!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"After bathing and changing, I will personally present him with a grand gift to congratulate him on retrieving the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock for Su Yunying."
"Yes, sir."
