Chapter 299 Sharing the burdens of His Majesty is simply what Mu Jiu should do.
"Give it a try."
Jiang Qingyi's voice echoed throughout the room.
The longsword in her hand was trembling, as if it would strike at any moment and cut off the other person's head.
Their eyes met, and the room fell silent. Their combined spiritual energy created a heavy spiritual pressure, as if the air itself had solidified.
"Enough, enough. What's the point of us fighting to the death? In the end, it will only benefit the Lord of the Four Seas."
Qin Siyao sighed and said.
Upon hearing the other party mention Bai Ruxue, a glimmer of reason finally appeared in Jiang Qingyi's eyes, which seemed on the verge of losing control.
"When I met Sect Leader Jiang before, I proposed cooperation to him, but he didn't agree last time."
Today, I still maintain my previous opinion: Sect Leader Jiang should carefully consider the conditions I mentioned last time.
If the two of us don't join forces, neither of us will be in a good place.
Or does Sect Leader Jiang believe that the Myriad Swords Sect is large enough to rival the entire Four Seas?
Jiang Qingyi frowned, looking displeased, but did not refute.
"I'll give Sect Leader Jiang another month. I'll wait for Sect Leader Jiang's reply."
After saying that, Qin Siyao looked away and didn't argue with her anymore.
If we can't get anywhere with each other, why bother fighting at all?
Qin Siyao put on the clothes she had just taken off, tied the belt, and then gently helped Xiao Mo put on his clothes, just as she would help her husband change his clothes.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Siyao gently touched Xiao Mo's brow, and Xiao Mo frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
When Xiao Mo woke up and saw Qin Mujiu sitting next to him and Jiang Xianzi standing in the distance, he was slightly stunned, wondering what had happened: "Why is the Imperial Preceptor here?"
"Your Majesty's spiritual energy was a bit disordered just now, and he fell asleep. Mu Jiu was extremely worried. Hearing that the Imperial Preceptor's residence was not far from here, and that the Imperial Preceptor, Fairy Jiang, was highly skilled in cultivation, she invited the Imperial Preceptor over. The Imperial Preceptor just helped Your Majesty soothe his spiritual energy. Does Your Majesty feel any better?"
Qin Siyao answered for Jiang Qingyi, her worried eyes full of sincerity.
Although Qin Mujiu said that, Xiao Mo felt something was wrong. He looked at Fairy Jiang and asked her if it was true.
Jiang Qingyi sheathed her longsword and said coldly, "Just as she said, you should rest well these two days and it's best not to practice swordsmanship. Sometimes, when spiritual energy is disordered, it not only manifests as discomfort in the meridians and spiritual veins, but also as drowsiness and fatigue. Your Majesty falls into the latter category."
"I see." Xiao Mo nodded. "Thank you for your help, Fairy Jiang and Mu Jiu."
"Hehehe," Qin Siyao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why does Your Majesty need to be so polite to Mu Jiu? Mu Jiu will be entering the palace in a month, and it is Mu Jiu's duty to share Your Majesty's burdens."
Jiang Qingyi looked at Qin Siyao's sweet appearance, turned her head away, and felt a little disgusted.
Xiao Mo didn't reply, but just smiled and said, "It's already noon. Would Mu Jiu and Fairy Jiang like to have lunch together?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Qin Siyao's eyes: "Mu Jiu would like to dine with His Majesty, but at noon, a court lady will be teaching Mu Jiu the etiquette of Zhou Kingdom, so I'm afraid I'll have to excuse myself."
"It's alright, it will be fine next time. Let me see you out of the palace, Mu Jiu." Xiao Mo was just being polite.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Qin Siyao stood up and bowed happily.
Let's go.
Xiao Mo had a palace maid prepare a carriage and drove Qin Siyao out of the palace.
Xiao Mo thought that after he woke up, Fairy Jiang would leave.
But unexpectedly, Fairy Jiang followed them the whole time.
Jiang Qingyi sat opposite Qin Siyao without saying a word, while Qin Siyao chatted with Xiao Mo about some interesting things she had encountered in the capital of Zhou.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty! I'll come visit you again next time." Qin Siyao waved her little hand at Xiao Mo.
"You can come anytime." Xiao Mo nodded and waved goodbye to her.
After Qin Siyao's carriage had driven away, Xiao Mo turned around to return to the palace, only to find that Fairy Jiang was watching him the whole time.
"What's wrong with Fairy Jiang?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.
Jiang Qingyi looked at the red mark on Xiao Mo's neck and her small hands clenched involuntarily.
"It's nothing!" Jiang Qingyi turned and left, disappearing from Xiao Mo's sight in an instant.
"What's wrong? Is she angry?"
Xiao Mo didn't know what had happened, but he didn't care.
This Fairy Jiang is usually unpredictable; she'll be fine in a few days.
After driving back to his palace, Xiao Mo planned to enter the Book of a Hundred Generations again.
Although his wedding had been postponed twice, Xiao Mo believed that Princess Qinyang and the daughter of the Yan family would be able to enter the palace a month later without any further mishaps.
Otherwise, not only would the Empress Dowager be furious, but the Qin state would also be in a difficult position.
Fortunately, I have an extra month to see if I can clear another dungeon.
This time, however, Xiao Mo doesn't plan to use such an urgent method as he did in his previous life, but rather to take it slowly.
If it is not completed within a month, the timeframe will be extended.
As Xiao Mo's consciousness wavered, he entered the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes.
The two paintings from before reappeared in front of Xiao Mo.
That is, the moment the two paintings appeared, Xiao Mo's memories of reality were blurred by the Book of a Hundred Generations.
Every time, it was the same. Xiao Mo tried several times to recall which part of his memories the Hundred Lifetimes Book had blurred, but ultimately he got nowhere.
It was as if the laws of nature were restraining him.
"It's fine if I can't remember."
Xiao Mo shook his head, deciding not to waste any more effort.
After hesitating between the two paintings for a long time, Xiao Mo chose the one on the right.
The woman in the painting is dressed in white, her sleeves slipping off her jade-like arms, and she is playing a drum with her delicate hands.
[Does the host wish to enter the fifth life of the Hundred Lifetimes Book—Qin Siyao?]
The voice of Bai Shishu echoed in Xiao Mo's mind.
"Yes." Xiao Mo replied without hesitation.
The moment Xiao Mo made his selection, the scroll on the left was rolled up and disappeared before his eyes.
[Host selection complete. Please create a character name.]
"Xiao Mo".
[Character name creation complete. Host is about to enter the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes.]
[Countdown.]
【three】
【two】
【one】
As the countdown ended, Xiao Mo felt as if he had fallen asleep, and his whole body fell into a deep sleep.
When Xiao Mo woke up, all he could see was a blur.
"Wah wah wah"
Xiao Mo tried to make a sound, but found that all he could hear was the baby crying.
The crying sounded like...
My own?
