Xiao Sheng watched as the light surrounding Li Xingran gradually changed.
Is this a sudden progression from the early to the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul realm, and finally reaching the Deity Transformation stage?
Even more incredibly, Li Xingran's appearance changed.
She transformed from a naive little girl into a stunningly beautiful young woman whose beauty was captivating.
Li Xingran opened her eyes. She knew about the changes in her face; that face would be the face she would use from now on.
Li Xingran landed on the ground from the air and then stood up.
She grew to the size of an adult woman.
He is already much taller than Xiao Sheng.
Li Xingran felt that returning to the capital like this would definitely terrify everyone.
After thinking about it, I decided to revert to my appearance when I was six years old.
As Xiao Sheng watched Li Xingran grow up, he felt more fondness and amazement than anything else.
Seeing that Li Xingran had turned back into her original form, Xiao Sheng was about to go up and take her hand when he felt that he was about to break through as well.
So he had no choice but to sit in meditation and enter a state of mental fasting.
Seeing Xiao Sheng's movements, Li Xingran knew that he was also about to break through.
It released a powerful divine sense to protect the living room.
Li Ting is also making a breakthrough.
So, if you're stuck in a bottleneck, all you need to do is find someone to fight with?
Is it really like what's described in cultivation novels?
Now it's Li Xingran's turn to guard Li Ting and Xiao Sheng.
Monsters all have inner cores; I wonder if this newly hatched baby snake has one too.
Li Xingran suppressed her nausea and examined the corpses of the three giant snakes.
Yes, there really is.
Li Xingran put the three inner cores into the brocade pouch.
Looking at the snake's carcass on the ground, he thought that the snake skin could be made into clothes.
So he put the corpses of the three giant snakes into the still space of the brocade pouch all at once.
It's like a refrigerator; it won't rot or dehydrate.
After Li Xingran finished tidying up, Li Ting also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
Xiao Sheng is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
They had been in the living room for a while, looked around again to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything, and then left the living room.
With a wave of her hand, Li Xingran left the place looking the same as before, but Xiao Sheng knew that she had taken the original living room with her.
The living room we see today is nothing more than an illusion created by Li Xingran.
The three of them thoroughly inspected the entire imperial city, inside and out, and after confirming that there were no remnants of the Huangfu family or any other abnormalities, they returned to the place Xia Deqing had prepared for them—a temporary palace.
All three of them were extremely tired.
He didn't eat anything and just fell asleep.
Although she could stop sleeping after cultivating immortality, Li Xingran still insisted on sleeping every day without fail.
The next day, Xia Deqing arrived at the imperial palace early.
Upon learning that the emperor had returned late the previous night, the servants were instructed to prepare food and keep it warm so that it could be served directly to the nobleman when he woke up.
Xia Deqing sat in the hall, flipping through the documents recently submitted by various places.
And you know what? Crescent Province's economy has visibly grown.
It would be even better if the land could become fertile, so that agriculture and animal husbandry could be developed.
When the sun was high in the sky, Xiao Sheng woke up.
After washing up, a servant announced that Xia Deqing had arrived.
After changing his clothes, Xiao Sheng went to the main hall.
Xia Deqing bowed again.
Xiao Sheng helped him up.
"Lord Xia, please take a look at this booklet. It can improve the soil quality in Crescent Province."
Xia Deqing opened the booklet.
It contains detailed information on how to improve different types of soil.
This is a real lifesaver!
"Your Majesty, I thank you. I will certainly instruct my subordinates to improve the soil quality according to the methods in the book."
"I believe that in three or four years, we can transform the barren land of Crescent Province."
"Lord Xia, thank you for your hard work. Crescent Moon Province is far from the capital, and I cannot visit it often."
"If there is any emergency, you can go to a place called Kuai Da Escort Agency in Zhu Dan City and send a message to me."
"When Lord Xia is not busy with work, he can go to the capital for a visit."
"May I leave here and go to the capital?" Xia Deqing was quite frightened.
Xiao Sheng felt a bitter taste in his mouth; educating others was a long and arduous task! "Of course! Don't high-ranking officials have any freedom?"
"You not only have to go, but you have to go more often."
"You can't be complacent in anything you do. Go out and see more of the world so you can know your strengths and weaknesses."
"You can come by sea or by land. I plan to build a smooth road that leads directly to Zhudan within three years."
At this point, Li Ting led Li Xingran into the main hall.
After greeting everyone, Xia Deqing instructed his servants to bring up the food.
Xia Deqing is such a charming and shrewd person. She understands us so well!
[The arrangements are truly impeccable. Under his rule, Crescent Moon Province will likely surpass Southern Chen. Xiao Sheng needs to step up his game.]
Xiao Sheng's inner thoughts: Me, afraid of him? Does he even know who I have around me? Does Xia Deqing have anyone like that?
His arrogant expression was revealed, which was seen by Li Xingran.
I wonder what that person was thinking; their expression was so smug, like a victorious little rooster.
Xiao Sheng almost spat out his tea.
How can you use such an analogy?
Xia Deqing stood aside, watching Xiao Sheng and the others eat.
Xiao Sheng, however, did not touch his chopsticks for a long time.
"Your Majesty, is it not to your liking?" Xia Deqing asked, feeling extremely cautious.
"Lord Xia, please sit down and eat with us." Xiao Sheng's face showed displeasure.
“This is against etiquette,” Xia Deqing said hesitantly.
"Lord Xia, what do you think I'm doing?" Li Ting asked immediately after hearing Xia Deqing finish speaking.
“General Li is sitting,” Xia Deqing replied truthfully.
"Then why are you standing? In terms of official rank, we're practically equals, aren't we? If I can sit, why can't you?"
"Sit down, Lord Xia. These unnecessary formalities should be abolished from now on. I will issue a decree when I return to the capital."
[Oh my, what a spirited little emperor! I really misjudged you before. I thought you were incapable of standing on your own two feet.]
However, the fact that Xiao Sheng could be so patient and restrained in the book shows that he is not a simple person.
Finally, I've changed my fate.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have the good life we enjoy today!
The food in Crescent Province is also quite good. I'll write it down and recreate it for them when I get back.
Several servants nearby tried to serve dishes to Xiao Sheng, Li Ting, and Li Xingran.
Xiao Sheng stopped him again.
“We all have hands and feet; we don’t need servants to help us with such trivial matters. This is an act of oppressing ordinary people.”
"You may all leave now. You must not have eaten either. Go to the kitchen and eat all the food prepared there today."
"We mustn't waste food while we're with the kitchen staff!" Xiao Sheng ordered his servants to leave and go to the kitchen for their meal.
The servants went to the kitchen and relayed the emperor's orders.
The kitchen staff realized for the first time that being a cook could also earn them the emperor's favor.
So this is what the saying "all men are created equal" in the capital city means?
