Chapter 166: The Pei Family's Token Only Recognizes the Capable
As soon as Pei Xiaoxing said this guess, his parents were stunned. They raised their voices to stop his arrogant guess: "Shut up!"
The mission of the entire Pei family is to be loyal to the Holy Female, and they are not qualified to question the Holy Female's identity.
Pei Xiaoxing's remarks were extremely disrespectful to the Holy Female. If they were heard by outsiders, the status of the entire Pei family would be in jeopardy.
"Pei Xiaoxing, stop talking nonsense!" Pei's father was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, his hands shaking as he pointed at him. "If you want to rebel, forget it, but don't drag us down with you!"
Everyone in the entire Central City knew that Sheng Ran had long been judged to be a useless female of the Void Rank without a beast form. How could she be a Saint Female that only appears once in a thousand years?
Maybe she found some way to provoke Pei Xiaoxing's curse by accident.
The Pei family is very grateful to her for being able to do this and will definitely reward her handsomely, but as the most capable young man of this generation, Pei Xiaoxing cannot be tied to her forever.
He is a smart man and should know this, so why is he so stubborn?
"I won't let your brother attend your birthday party this time. From now on, you will be the young master of the Pei family and serve the Holy Female." Pei Xiaoxing's mother had already arranged everything. "As for Sheng Ran, I will find a way to convince her to enter into a marriage contract with you and give her a considerable fortune."
Pei Xiaoxing still shook his head, his eyes determined, "I can't possibly leave my wife."
"I've already identified her."
There was no intention of joking in his tone. He could see that his parents were still at the stage where they could communicate. Pei Xiaoxing advised seriously.
"Think carefully about what good deeds Sheng Jieyue has done to benefit the country and the people over the years, and what extraordinary talents and abilities has she demonstrated?"
His questions were so tricky that Pei's parents were speechless.
Not long after, he began to argue defiantly, "What about Sheng Ran? Are you sure she will replace Sheng Jieyue and become the holy female that our Pei family should support?"
I even dared not say the last guess out loud.
Pei Xiaoxing replied in a deep voice, "Have you noticed the Yulanhua that has appeared in the city recently?"
"Yulan flowers can only grow in Yuhua City, thousands of miles away. Given the loss of flowers during transportation, they simply cannot appear fresh in our central city."
"But Sheng Ran did it. These flowers have all passed through her hands, and she personally found a way to keep them fresh." Pei Xiaoxing forced a smile, "You still don't believe it?"
Magnolia is not an ordinary flower.
It is closely related to the God of Flowers who appeared in the Beast World thousands of years ago.
"Sheng Ran... can you really do this?" Mother Pei asked in a trembling voice, her expression becoming serious.
Pei Xiaoxing nodded and extended his hand to Pei's parents, "The reason I told you all this is because I planned to come here to ask for something."
"Pei's token."
He wanted to help his wife consolidate her position in the central city.
He wanted everyone to know that their Pei family was indeed loyal to the Holy Female, and the Holy Female they identified was Sheng Ran.
"You unfilial son!" Father Pei looked at him in shock, trying to dissuade him, "No, you can't give him the token!"
However, Pei Xiaoxing's mother pondered for a long time and finally sighed.
"Forget it," Mother Pei held the token tightly and finally threw it to Pei Xiaoxing as she wished. "According to the rules, your curse is lifted and you should inherit our clan's token as the young master."
"It's just that I hope that before making any decision in the future, you will consider us and the Pei family more."
Pei Xiaoxing nodded and thanked his parents.
Although they have no feelings for this family, they are essentially an inseparable whole.
Pei Xiaoxing was also unwilling to push the Pei family into an irretrievable situation. Everything he did was to save them.
As the memories faded away, Pei Xiaoxing tightened the token in his hand and looked at the guests in the Liuli Palace.
His gaze finally fell on Sheng Jieyue's face, and Pei Xiaoxing spoke in a cold tone.
"Rebellion? Lady Saint has probably forgotten that the Pei family's token has always only been used to recognize capable individuals."
"My wife is able to worry about the people in the west of the city and save lives with her own strength. She has great love and ability, and she deserves this token."
"And you, who only care about your own pleasure, watched the people die of illness and remained indifferent. Such a 'holy female', the Pei family disdains to be loyal to."
Sheng Jieyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Pei Xiaoxing and said, "You're talking nonsense! I'm the Holy Female! No one can shake my position!"
She pulled Situ Yu and said, "Ayu, we must report this to the Beast King and punish them!"
Situ Yu had not expected that things would develop to the current situation, where even the always loyal Pei family was going to rebel.
He was about to bite his teeth off, staring at Sheng Ran and the beastly men around him with a sinister look.
"Of course, I will report all your crimes of defiance to the Queen Mother. Just wait and see."
Having experienced countless worlds together, he and Sheng Jieyue's protagonist halo has never been threatened like this.
"We might as well not attend this birthday banquet!" Situ Yu squeezed Sheng Jieyue's hand, his expression dismissive. "What's the point of having a banquet in this Glazed Palace? The Beast King has organized a grand hunting event for you, in three days at Danxue Mountain."
Situ Yu said to the guests, "Everyone is welcome to attend the banquet."
The orcs present were all a little excited.
"Danxue Mountain, isn't that the legendary home of the mythical bird Phoenix?"
"Hasn't it been closed off for many years, with no one allowed to enter?"
"Don't you understand? The Beast King values the Holy Female so much that he made an exception and opened Danxue Mountain to her. I didn't expect that we could also benefit from it!"
"I want to go! I want to see this legendary bird's dwelling and see how it differs from other mountains!"
…
Seeing this scene, Situ Yu curled his lips proudly, his goal achieved.
He just wanted to disrupt the banquet and make Sheng Ran's life difficult.
"When the time comes, you can invite my sister and her beastly husbands to the banquet together." Sheng Jieyue said finally.
They thought that once Danxue Mountain was revealed, they could turn the tables on her. But unexpectedly, Sheng Ran didn't even listen to what they were saying.
She automatically ignored the irrelevant people around her and focused her attention on the six beastly husbands around her.
Today is her first birthday in the true sense. Sheng Ran looked at the pile of gifts in front of her, her eyes slightly red.
She reached out and touched them gently. Each one was heavy with care and love from the beastly husbands.
"Thank you." Her voice was choked with sobs.
Finally, he looked up at Tu Shanyi and said, "I know that you left during this period of time to prepare a surprise for me."
She shook her head. "But I don't need such a grand birthday party."
"This banquet is too extravagant. I want to transfer all the manpower, financial resources, and orchids used by the Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce to the west of the city."
She recalled the miserable scenes she had witnessed in the west of the city these past few days, her tone filled with anxiety and anticipation. "Thousands of years ago, the God of Flowers used a sea of flowers to purge the Black Death. Perhaps these jasmine flowers can be used as a medicine."
"We first used spiritual spring water and magnolia flowers to control the plague, then built temporary resettlement sites and delivered hot meals to the people."
"My dear wife, are you going to use the spiritual spring water?" Huai Jun asked in disbelief.
Just now, when Sheng Jieyue was so angry that she couldn't say a word, Sheng Ran didn't even take a sip for herself.
The guests around originally wanted to leave, but when they heard Sheng Ran's decision, they all widened their eyes in shock.
This notorious evil woman is actually willing to sacrifice her own banquet to benefit the suffering people in the west of the city?
Also, where did the spiritual spring water she mentioned come from, and how did she get it?
Moreover, aren't these what a saintly woman should be doing? Why is she doing all this, which is thankless?
Their eyes unconsciously fell on the Pei family's token, and a bold guess spread in everyone's mind.
