The Western Phoenix Kingdom is located on the northern side of the entire Xuan Tian Continent. Its terrain is rugged and its climate is harsh, making it unsuitable for human habitation.
There are few people and few cultivators here, but the new leader of the Spirit Alliance defied all objections and moved the Spirit Alliance's headquarters to Xihuang, announcing that the grandest event in the entire cultivation world, the Spirit Refining Conference, would be held here.
This leader of the Spirit Alliance is named Xuan Kang. He is Xuan Yuanzhao's mentor and the only Spirit Emperor in the entire Xuan Tian Continent.
What a coincidence!
It seems I really need to make a trip to the Western Phoenix Kingdom.
[Host, just a heads-up, the male lead's tribulation is coming.]
Lin Zhenzhen then realized that Xuan Yuanzhao was about to break through to the Spirit Emperor realm and enter the first stage of the Spirit Saint realm.
He possesses the Chaos All-Elemental Root attribute, making him particularly attractive to heavenly lightning. While others experience one tribulation, he is struck by five lightning bolts.
Given that he had achieved such a high-level breakthrough, Lin Zhenzhen decided not to sleep that night. She would find a place to squat and enjoy the "fireworks" while waiting for an opportunity to make a big profit.
In the original storyline, after Xuan Yuanzhao experienced the tribulation of lightning, Chen Shu took good care of him, and their relationship progressed rapidly.
Oh, Chen Shu!
I almost forgot about her.
After a period of brainwashing treatment by Wu Nianmu, Chen Shu slowly opened her eyelids.
"Lingzhen?" She looked around. "How did I end up in your room?"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled with relief; it seemed the memory had been washed away very well.
She held up five fingers in front of Chen Shu and asked, "How many is this?"
Chen Shu looked at her suspiciously, then blurted out, "Are you crazy?"
Looks like he wasn't stupid, what a pity.
Lin Zhenzhen got up, opened the door to see the guest out, and said casually, "Get out."
After Chen Shu left, Lin Zhenzhen finally felt a bit tired. Her body had been depleted for too long and needed a long period of rest and adjustment.
"Brother Wu, I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't let anyone find you, okay?"
After saying that, she climbed into bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was pulled into a void by an endless feeling of falling, and slept like a dead pig.
When I woke up again, it was still a warm and breezy afternoon.
The sunlight streaming through the window gently fell on the floor, and a breeze rippled through the bed curtains.
The black ball of fur suddenly burrowed into the crook of her neck.
Wu Nianmu stood by her window, his expression somewhat indescribable.
“If you weren’t still breathing, I would have thought you were dead.”
"Huh?" Lin Zhenzhen touched her forehead and sat up. "Did I sleep for a long time?"
“Three days, a full three days.” Wu Nianmu frowned and looked her up and down. “A human sleeping for three days straight is truly unheard of.”
Little Blackie chirped twice in her ear, seemingly feeling extremely aggrieved.
"It's been so long." Lin Zhenzhen shook her head. Although she had rested for so long, her head still felt like it was filled with lead.
She seemed to be having many fragmented dreams, but she couldn't remember the specific details.
Has anyone been here?
"Several people came by, and I pretended to speak your voice, giving them a few casual replies to brush them off."
"well done."
A sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from the air, and two seconds later, Wei Wu's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Miss Ling, everything is ready. May we depart?"
Are we setting off already?
Lin Zhenzhen gave a perfunctory reply: "Okay, I'll be right out."
She stuffed a few pieces of underwear and Xiao Hei into her spirit bag, then turned to ask Wu Nianmu.
How did you keep up with us?
"I have my own way."
"Alright." Lin Zhenzhen patted his shoulder. "Brother Wu, be careful to stay hidden."
Lin Zhenzhen walked all the way to the reception hall, only to find that Chen Mao, Mu Shi, and Chen Shu were all gathered there.
Upon seeing her arrive, everyone turned their attention to her, especially Chen Shu, whose face was filled with undisguised resentment.
Chen Mao looked conflicted. Hadn't Ling Zhen already been jilted? Why would the Xuanyuan family make such a big fuss?
"Xiao Zhen, what happened? How could Young Master Xuanyuan...?"
"What did he do?"
A bad feeling rose in Lin Zhenzhen's heart. She quickened her pace and walked to the door, but was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Eight white horses, adorned with gold ribbons, stood in two rows, pulling a huge six-wheeled carriage that was entirely covered with red ribbons.
Seeing her unreadable expression, Wei Wu braced himself and stepped forward to ask, "Miss Ling, this was all done according to your instructions. Are you satisfied?"
What the heck is this...?
Seeing her troubled expression, Wei Wu quickly explained, "Young Master didn't come to greet you because he was thinking of your reputation, Miss Ling. However, he is already waiting in the suburbs and specially arranged for you to take a carriage around the city before you arrive."
Lin Zhenzhen twitched the corner of her mouth, pointed at the extravagant carriage in front of her, which was comparable to a moving palace, and asked, "Did I request all of this?"
"Yes, you said it. It's impolite for a man and a woman to travel alone without a proper name or status. You even said it should be in accordance with the highest standards for women getting married in Yunlong Kingdom."
Lin Zhenzhen realized that she must have made a mistake while she was sleeping.
Haha, is this what that thousand-year-old tree said, just brushing it off with a few casual words?
As more and more gossipy people gathered in the surrounding streets, Lin Zhenzhen drew the sword of one of her guards and cut the reins of one of the horses.
Then he mounted his horse and sped away from the scene.
Upon reaching the city gate, Lin Zhenzhen spotted a figure dressed in black in the distance.
Xuanyuan Zhao stood with his back to her, his hands behind his back. His long, ink-black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and the ends of his hair swayed slightly in the wind.
