Chapter 932 Mutual Compliments
Is Chi Yanyun pretty?
of course.
Zhao Mu had never seen a woman more beautiful than Chi Yanyun. Even his silly senior sister and the rich woman could only be considered her equals, not quite surpassing her.
It's perfectly normal for Xia Shang to be tempted.
only.....
"Uncle Xia, have you seen Senior Chi's true face?"
Zhao Mu looked at Xia Shang with some curiosity. Ever since he met Chi Yanyun, she had always worn a light purple veil and had never revealed her true face to outsiders.
He was lucky enough to see her, entirely thanks to the silly senior sister.
So beautiful.
Zhao Mu will never forget that night, when he walked through the fog and arrived at the pool.
Fortunately, Chi Yanyun didn't pay too much attention to this matter, otherwise he would probably be scattered all over the place by now.
"Uh~"
Xia Shang looked slightly embarrassed.
Xu Qingyan mocked from the side, "The funniest thing is that from beginning to end, he didn't even know what Chi Yanyun looked like."
"Stop talking, I have no pride."
Xia Shang tugged at his wife's sleeve under the table, telling her to shut up.
"What? You can do it, but I can't say it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you tell me, you tell me, okay?!"
Xia Shang decided to give up and stop interfering altogether, but surprisingly, Xu Qingyan stopped talking.
Xia Ningzhi sat quietly to the side. It was the first time she had heard her father’s embarrassing story. But then again, that Senior Chi was a stunning beauty just by looking at her back. No wonder her father was so infatuated with her back then.
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
Xia Shang cleared his throat and said to Zhao Mu with a serious expression, "Do you know what it takes to obtain the Golden Dragon Marrow and the Condensed Ganoderma?"
"Just beat everyone down, that'll solve the problem."
Zhao Mu shrugged and said with a relaxed expression.
"They've got quite the big talk, but I wonder how much real skill they have. Golden Dragon Marrow is no ordinary thing. Don't blame me for not warning you, this time, even an ancient power like the Ji family of the Blackwater River, with a history of millions of years, has sent someone."
"If you're scared, it's not too late to back out now."
uh~
Zhao Mu turned to look at Xia Ningzhi, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. He hesitated, wondering whether he should tell this Emperor Xia that, despite their many encounters, the Ji family had never gotten the better of him.
However, before he could speak, Xia Ningzhi stepped in to help, saying, "Father, don't worry. Zhao Mu is the most powerful. Even the Ji family you mentioned would turn tail and run when they see him."
"so smart?"
Xia Shang curled her lip in disbelief and said, "Could it be that you're blinded by love, girl?"
"Yes, this kid did perform quite well during the Fire God Festival, but what was his cultivation level back then? So many years have passed, and the situation is very different now."
"As far as I know, there is a young man named Ji Wenxuan in the Ji family. He crawled out of a pile of dead bodies and is incredibly strong. He is famous throughout the Blackwater River Basin."
Upon hearing the name, Zhao Mu was immediately delighted.
I never expected to hear news about an old acquaintance.
His first real rival was Ji Wenxuan, but that guy was completely outmaneuvered by Xia Ruoxi back then. He got nothing and was beaten up more than once. Later, he only heard Ji Haoxuan mention that he was thrown into some place and left to fend for himself.
It seems that, just like when Ji Xinyi came out of Lonely Moon Valley, Ji Wenxuan has also undergone a transformation and is somewhat different now.
"I wonder if this kid can take a beating now!"
Zhao Mu chuckled and muttered something under his breath.
"What are you babbling about?"
Xia Shang didn't hear Zhao Mu's murmur clearly, and reminded him with a serious face: "Don't underestimate anyone. There's a saying that being fat first doesn't mean you're fat, but being fat later can be overwhelming. Being ahead for a while doesn't mean you'll definitely be at the top in the future. You might just be someone else's defeated opponent."
"Been taught a lesson!"
Zhao Mu cupped his hands slightly, showing that Xia Shang truly regarded him as one of his own.
This is the Xia Emperor; we obviously don't know much about him.
If he knew that he had just destroyed several of the gates of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace before he came, he would probably feel much more at ease.
Of course, he didn't intend to bring it up himself.
After all, bringing it up would make it seem like he's showing off; he's a low-key person.
As the saying goes, a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him.
Xu Qingyan was just like that. Zhao Mu could feel it. This Empress of Great Xia liked him from the bottom of her heart. Perhaps this was a case of loving someone because of their love for them.
After all, in a sense, he was the one Xia Ningzhi chose.
It's a pity, though, that they were all fake.
"There's a lantern festival tonight. If you two are interested, you can go and take a look."
"it is good!"
Zhao Mu smiled and nodded.
The Great Xia Dynasty was not simply a cultivation power, but rather a mixture of immortals and mortals. Although there were quite a few cultivators in the capital, in reality, the majority were ordinary people.
These ordinary people would continuously provide newborns, supporting the renewal and iteration of cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Cultivation dynasties and sects are somewhat different; their forms are closer to family-based power structures.
Of course, Zhao Mu guessed that this lantern display was probably not a pure lantern festival, but rather contained some elements related to immortal cultivators.
Moreover, there's an 80% chance that something bad will definitely happen if I go to the lantern festival tonight.
One of the reasons Zhao Mu agreed was that he guessed Xu Qingyan's thoughts. She wanted to announce to the public that Xia Ningzhi already had someone by her side, hoping to persuade some people to back down in this way.
After all, the name of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is quite well-known in the Kunwu Continent.
After having dinner together, Zhao Mu bid farewell to Xia Ningzhi and then left the palace to visit the lantern festival.
The lantern festival was held on both banks of the Zhang River, some distance from the palace. Because this trip had a special purpose, they did not use the previous low-key carriage. Xu Qingyan prepared a very luxurious and conspicuous carriage for the two of them.
Putting aside how luxurious the carriage frame is, the two eighth-tier fire-feathered unicorn beasts pulling the carriage are already extravagant enough.
Although the Fire Feather Qilin Beast is not a Qilin, it contains a trace of Qilin blood and is a member of the royal family of demon beasts. Two ninth-tier Fire Feather Qilin Beasts pulling a cart would be quite impressive, not to mention in the Great Xia Dynasty, even in the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
inside the car.
Xia Ningzhi personally poured tea for Zhao Mu and said with a faint smile, "As expected, listening to Brother Zhao's arrangements was definitely the right thing to do. Father and Mother clearly did not suspect our relationship; they truly believed it."
"This also requires the Ninth Princess to cooperate well."
Zhao Mu chuckled lightly, not taking all the credit for himself. After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and asked, "After this matter is settled, will the Ninth Princess return to the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace?"
"It's natural."
Xia Ningzhi smiled and nodded, "After all, I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet. Besides, with my current cultivation level, I can't be of much help even if I stay in the capital. It's better to let my father and the others worry about it."
"It will probably take many more years before we can completely return to the Great Xia Dynasty."
"We should at least break through the Life and Death Realm before we talk about it."
