Chapter 45: The Story of Shouzhe Taking a Concubine (Please Vote for Me)
…
Almost at the same time.
In the huge Temple of the Bloody Dawn, Wang's construction team is busy working on the demolition project.
As the lair of a true immortal, this ruins is so huge that it is unrealistic to completely demolish it in a short time. Previously, the construction team only demolished some parts that were moveable and relatively easy to dismantle. The remaining parts, such as the walls, had to be carefully dismantled because of the formations inside, so the speed was slowed down.
Even if Wang's construction team is assisted by Ji Wuchen, a formation master, similar construction will still have to be maintained for a while.
However, the tribesmen and construction teams responsible for the construction are very excited.
After all, this is the legendary ruins of a true immortal, and every piece of brick removed is extraordinary.
According to the information revealed by the weapon spirit Da Xueer, the ordinary bricks used in the Bloody Dawn Temple are called [composite spiritual crystal bricks], which are made of spiritual stone slag, high-quality spiritual stone slag, spiritual clay, and several spiritual metal materials. Mixed in proportions and finally fired in an ultra-high temperature kiln.
Therefore, even in the Shenwu Dynasty, "composite spiritual crystal bricks" were a very expensive building material that ordinary units could not afford.
Each piece of finished masonry is about three feet long, more than one foot wide, and about five inches thick, which is equivalent to 0.05 cubic meters. Taken together, every twenty pieces is about one cubic meter.
These [Composite Spiritual Crystal Bricks] look warm and delicate, just like jade. Not only are they extremely strong in material, they can also block the detection of spiritual thoughts. Once built into a wall, even the Purple Mansion Realm monks cannot easily break through the wall. If it is attached with a formation, it would be even more amazing.
If not, they would not have been able to withstand the aftermath of the battles of the magical monks.
Of course, the Wang family is not the first family to discover the remains of a true immortal. Composite spiritual crystal bricks are also circulated in small quantities in the markets of Immortal Dynasty and Daqian. The currently recognized price is about one immortal crystal per brick.
They are very versatile and can be used to build important high-end buildings, such as martial arts training grounds, alchemy workshops, weapon refining rooms, treasure pavilions, etc.
Therefore, when the Wang family demolished the Bloody Dawn Temple, it felt like digging for fairy crystal mines. Every time a wall was demolished, a large amount of wealth could be added to the family.
Wang Anxin is very busy recently.
As an important direct member of the family, Wang Anxin has always had a heavy burden on his shoulders.
He was busy implementing specific cooperation matters step by step with the Yuanshui Qinglong clan, busy coordinating the activities of the demolition team and transportation team in Longze, and even took time to chat with the Chimei Demon Envoy.
Today's Chimei Demon Envoy is still blocked by a large group of [high-end blood nest warriors] in the Blood Sanctuary, complaining that the sky is not responding and the earth and the earth are not working.
Although the main body of the Scarlet Artifact Spirit has moved to the Wang family, it has left a simple branch in the temple to assist the Wang family and communicate with the Chimei Demon Envoy in the Scarlet Sanctuary.
After a series of adjustments by the Scarlet Artifact Spirit, the external communication channel of the Scarlet Refuge has been successfully established. Wang Anxin can directly talk to the Chimei Demon Envoy in the refuge through the spirit division.
At this moment, in a remote room, Wang Anxin was having a daily conversation with the Chimei Demon Envoy: "Fairy Jiang~Fairy Jiang, are you there?"
"Get out! Stop being so hypocritical!" The Chimei Demon Envoy has been imprisoned for so long, and his mood has already become violent. His tone is even more rude, "I don't believe it. At this time, you still believe that I am Fairy Jiang. "
"Okay, Senior Chimei... Then I won't pretend anymore and let's show off my cards." Wang Anxin calmly greeted the other person.
"What? You actually already know my identity?! So quickly?" The Chimei Demon Envoy sounded shocked.
"Senior seems to have underestimated his identity. You are a monk in the realm of supernatural powers. You are good at sneaking in under disguise and have ghostly movements. You are quite elegant." Wang Anxin smiled, "A big shot like you, He is also quite famous in the Demon Dynasty. After a little inquiry, you can get some rough information. What's more, the three disciples who came with you are now under our control at all times. If we haven't checked yet, If you reveal your identity, wouldn’t it look very incompetent?”
"Hmph!" Chimei Demon Envoy snorted coldly, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
Wang Anxin said calmly: "I, the Wang family, want to hire senior to serve the family. I wonder what your senior wants?"
The Chi Mei Demon Envoy was furious: "Get out! I will never betray Master or the True Demon Palace even if I die!"
"Senior's high righteousness makes this junior admirable." Wang Anxin was not surprised, and instead praised him, "It's a pity that the senior has taken a dead end this time. In the eyes of the Blood Boy Demon Lord, let alone Senior Chimei. You, even your master Yin Snake Demon Girl, is just a tool that can be discarded at any time."
"Taking a step back, even if you, senior, have really made a contribution to the Blood Boy Demon Lord, what's the use of returning to the Demon Dynasty alive? You are of the demon dynasty. To be honest, you are just being raised by the big shots of the True Demon Palace. The cauldron is just a tool to assist in breakthroughs, and it is a one-time tool. Once used, throw it back and let you continue to help cultivate the next generation of cauldron."
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it."
The Chimei Demon gnashed his teeth.
Although her tone was still angry, her voice was obviously weakened, and it was obvious that she had been touched on a painful point.
"Senior, you didn't have a choice before." Wang Anxin said, "Now that you have a choice and a chance to start a new and free life, why do you have to squat in that piss pit and not come out? You and our king I have also been in contact with the family. Our family has a decent style, treats others with respect and kindness, and can give you generous treatment and enough room for development."
Wang Anxin persuaded him for a while, but there was no response from the other party, not even the initial curse.
He stopped to take a sip of tea, moisten his throat, and was about to continue persuading, when the voice of the Chimei Demon Envoy suddenly came from the other side: "It's not impossible for me to betray. But I also have to make plans for my future. and guarantee. You must agree to a condition."
Wang An was filled with joy: "Say it."
The Chimei Demon Envoy's voice was deep and serious: "If Wang Shouzhe, the leader of your Wang family, is willing to marry me as his concubine to ensure my future safety and life, I might be able to help you fight against the Blood Boy Demon King."
Wang Anxin broke into a cold sweat.
He felt a chill on his neck, as if his great-aunt's cold sword had already reached his neck.
Senior Chimei, isn’t it good to be alive?
"Senior Chimei, you..." He was stuck for a while, and then he said with difficulty, "You are making things difficult for me. My great-grandfather is an upright man, and his relationship with my great-grandmother is as strong as gold. He is determined not to accept it. Concubine’s.”
"Then let's not talk about it." The Chimei Demon Envoy said decisively.
"Otherwise, senior, what do you think of me? I, Wang Anxin, am also a direct descendant of the Wang family."
"roll!"
…
About the same time.
Xinping Town.
Wang's Hotel Chain, Xinping Branch.
At this moment, the setting sun had completely disappeared under the horizon, and twilight enveloped the entire Xinping Town. However, there are a few streets in the center of the town that are still brightly lit.
The street where the Grand Hotel is located is one of them.
After dusk falls, it is the busiest time here.
Because it is close to the port, many businessmen traveling from north to south live nearby. Whenever night falls, the nearby snack street will gradually become lively. There is a dazzling array of delicacies from all over Daqian, and even the Immortal Dynasty, and the rich fragrance wafts out. Paired with the night, it has a different kind of atmosphere, which always impresses those who come here.
And just when the snack street was bustling, the daily "night class" had already begun in the hotel's underground classroom.
Today was a rare big class. The master of the night school specially invited a master with the title of "senior teacher" in Wang family studies to teach. The theme of the lecture was "Economy and Development."
At this moment, a gentle and beautiful lady wearing a flowing moire teacher's robe was standing on the podium, confidently and calmly teaching the dozens of night school students below.
This lecture did not have too in-depth content. It was mainly based on the Changning Wang family and explained the important role of economy in the development of aristocratic families, which is considered the basis of economics.
She has taught classes like this countless times, and she is already familiar with the content. During the lecture, she doesn't even have to look at the lesson plans on the table. She can pick up various cases at her fingertips, and her language is also vivid. Interesting and easy to understand what she explains.
In class, all the students listened attentively, and many even took out charcoal pens and notebooks to memorize something.
Qing Ji and Zi Ji were surprisingly sitting among the students. Moreover, the notebooks in front of them had already written a lot of content, and they were actually among the most serious students.
After one class, many students gained a lot.
While the lady was packing up the lesson plans, Qing Ji, Zi Ji, and a few other particularly studious students gathered around and asked several questions they didn't understand.
"Master, I don't quite understand what you just said, 'the economic base determines the superstructure'..."
After answering several questions in succession, the students finally dispersed, and the lady left the classroom with the lesson plan in her arms.
By this time, most of the people in the classroom had left, with only a few scattered people left.
While Qingji was packing her things, she looked at the writing on her notebook and felt satisfied and at ease.
There are not many big classes like this in night schools, and there is often only one class every one month or half a month. But after every class, she felt like a new world had opened up.
Much of the knowledge that Master taught in the big class was something she had never thought of before, but the content was to the point and extremely sharp. After only taking a few classes, she felt that her mind had become more flexible, and many questions that she had not understood before seemed to have been unveiled.
I heard that what is taught in these big classes is content only taught in the Wang Clan Academy.
The more lectures she attends, the more curious Qing Ji becomes about the legendary Wang clan science. If her status and conditions didn't allow it, she would really like to attend classes at Wang's clan school and experience it.
At this time.
Zi Ji's voice suddenly reached her ears: "Uncle Master has received a letter. See you at the same place later."
"knew."
Qing Ji's expression remained unchanged, she replied casually via voice transmission, and then continued to pack her things.
Soon, she put the scattered learning supplies on the table into a small school bag. She picked up her schoolbag and left the reef. She left the hotel as usual and blended into the bustling crowd outside.
A moment later, in the basement of a shop along the street near the snack street.
Two gray mists spread out from the shadows one after another, and in the blink of an eye they condensed into two figures. It was Qing Ji and Zi Ji who had just left the classroom.
Shortly after the two arrived, the light in the basement dimmed, and another figure suddenly stepped out of the shadows and appeared in front of the two.
It was a graceful figure with a quiet and elegant temperament, a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, especially her beautiful eyes, which were like flowing water, very moving.
Even in this dimly lit basement, she seemed to carry holy light, making people's eyes unconsciously focus on her.
"Uncle Yulian."
Seeing her, Qing Ji and Zi Ji were shocked and quickly bowed their heads in salute.
It turns out that this woman is the second disciple sent by the Yin Snake Demon Queen after the Chi Mei Demon Envoy, the Jade Lotus Demon Envoy.
When she raised her head, Qing Ji glanced at the clothes on the Jade Lotus Demon Envoy, and was suddenly startled: "Uncle, is the lobby manager who is about to take up the post turned out to be you?"
It turned out that what the Jade Lotus Demon Envoy was wearing at the moment was actually the uniform of the hotel lobby manager.
"Not bad." The Jade Lotus Demon Envoy raised his lips in contentment, "I was lucky. After a little competition with several male cultivators at the Lingtai Realm, I was selected."
"Master uncle is worthy of being a master uncle, he is really awesome." Qing Ji was full of praise.
Zi Ji also showed an envious look.
It turned out that the Jade Lotus Demon Envoy had found Qing Ji and the others not long ago, and under Qing Ji's introduction, he joined the Wang Hotel Chain as a distant relative, and even fabricated a miserable life experience for himself. He quickly won the sympathy of others in the hotel and blended in smoothly.
However, as "Lingtai Realm" monks, the night school that Yulian Demon Envoy attended was not in the same place as them, and there were not many opportunities to meet in public. In order to facilitate the exchange of information, the three of them found such a hidden and uninhabited basement. as a "joint" location.
If Yu Ji had the chance to slip out of the Wang family, she would also leave a message for them here.
"I have been busy with pre-job training these days and have no time to inquire about information. How are you two doing there? Have you obtained any important information?" The Jade Lotus Demon Envoy did not waste any time and chatted casually for a few words before getting down to the topic.
"Yes, I do have important information on hand." Zi Ji immediately said after hearing this, "A few days ago, Emperor Longchang and Holy Master Jiang of Lingyun Holy Land appeared at Xinshun Building on Xitang Street. There were many people present at that time, so the news should be conclusive Correct."
"This news has spread throughout Xinping Town in the past two days, and many people know it." Qing Ji opened her mouth a step too late, but Zi Ji took the lead. She couldn't help but glared at her in annoyance, and added by the way, "Two He was disguised and undercover for a private visit, but something happened in the restaurant, and his identity was revealed by Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family."
The Jade Lotus Demon Envoy frowned slightly when he heard this: "This is important information, I will inform the master immediately. What else?"
There is actually no other important information.
But how could Qingji tell the truth?
She immediately told some trivial information she had gathered, such as "The young patriarch of the Wang family, Zong'an, has not been favored since he was a child. Everyone secretly said that he is actually the illegitimate son of the head of the Shouzhe family and the great genius of Changchun Valley Luwei" and so on. wait.
Not to be outdone, Zi Ji also shared some information she had obtained.
As a result, this information exchange meeting unknowingly turned into Wang's gossip conference, which was also mixed with the two people's complaints. Then as they talked, the two talked about their work experience during this period, sharing learning experiences and tips for promotion and salary increase.
The Jade Lotus Demon Envoy listened with rapt attention and unknowingly joined the discussion.
The three of them chatted for an hour or two until late at night before finally leaving.
…
A few days later.
In the hidden barren mountains between Nanhuang Ancient Ze and Tianfu County.
The avatar of the Blood Boy Demon Lord, who was famous throughout the Demon Dynasty, was sitting cross-legged on a deserted rock and meditating.
Around him, there were some huge ferocious beasts lying here and there. They have been drained of blood and spiritual and flesh essence, and they appear to be skinny, shriveled and terrifying.
Suddenly.
A gust of wind descended rapidly from the sky, turning into the charming Yin Snake Demon Queen before landing.
She saluted the Blood Boy Demon Lord with a slightly solemn look and said, "Demon Lord, I have received information from my disciple Yulian. She has successfully sneaked into the Wang family's territory and successfully joined Zi Ji and the others."
The Blood Boy Demon Lord slowly opened his bottomless eyes and said coldly: "How is your disciple named Chi Mei Demon Envoy doing?"
"According to the intelligence sent back by Yu Ji who has infiltrated the Wang family, Chi Mei is still mixed in the Wang family's pioneering team, but no news has been sent back." Yin Snake Demon Girl said, "But Yu Ji relies on her own ability. We have picked up some clues from Wang's important figures. The pioneering team at Chi Mei's side is heavily guarded, so it should be inconvenient for her to spread the news back."
"Let Yu Ji find a way to contact Chi Mei. I need to know the information about Wang's pioneering team." The Blood Boy Demon Lord said coldly, "If it delays this important event of this Demon Lord, Jie Jie Jie."
"Yes, Demon Lord." Yin Snake Demon Ji hesitated slightly, "The news sent back by Yulian is not good."
The Blood Boy Demon Lord said coldly: "Say."
"Yes." Yin She Mo Ji said, "Longchang, the leader of the Dongqian Kingdom, and Jiang Zhencang, two Lingxu realms from the Holy Land, unexpectedly arrived and merged with the Wang family's territory, and they seem to have a good relationship with the Wang family."
"What?" The Blood Boy Demon Lord looked stern, and there was a hint of violence on his childish face, "How is it possible that two dignified Lingxu realms would actually run to the border countryside?"
"Demon Lord, is it possible that you are going for the Blood Venerable's ruins?" Yin Snake Demon Queen said, "If so, it is very likely that they will get to the Blood Venerable's ruins first."
"Hmph! It's not very likely. If any aristocratic family has the opportunity to discover the relics of a true immortal, they will think of taking it all for themselves." For a moment, the blood boy demon king's face was uncertain. He comforted himself and then said sternly, "But this matter is also We have to be on guard, the longer it goes on, the more likely accidents will happen. This Demon Lord will immediately send a teleportation talisman to me, asking him to urge the armies of Qin and Jin to launch a general attack. Compared to the importance of the Blood Lord's ruins, it would be better to die. What is a human being?”
"The Demon King is wise." Yin Snake Demon Queen flattered her cautiously.
…
same time period.
The scenery in Wang Shouzhe's small courtyard is pleasant, and there are carefully cultivated spiritual plants and flowers everywhere. The tiger-headed spiritual bees are flapping around, greedily swooping on the spiritual flowers, happily collecting nectar.
Unknowingly, the group of Steller Bees that had moved their hives to Shouzhe's yard was only a first-order bee colony. However, they can enjoy the nectar of third-level, fourth-level, and even fifth-level spiritual plants.
This is like a poor boy hooking up with a group of beautiful CEOs. What kind of carefree life is this?
"Gong." Emperor Longchang shouted excitedly, "Everyone, prepare for the flowers to bloom on the pole. Oops, it's almost, it's a pity, it's a pity~ Five barrels, no one wants it, right?"
After a pause for two breaths, when Jiang Zhencang went to touch the cards, the voice of Wang Shouzhe, who was pruning the flower branches, came from behind: "Holy Lord Jiang, don't touch the cards anymore, you are screwing up the five tubes."
"Ah? Is this nonsense?" Jiang Zhencang thought about the cards and laughed suddenly in realization, "It seems that the five tubes are embedded in it. Longchang, give me money, give me money."
"Holy Master Jiang, your majesty has a gun on his back, so remember to increase your stakes." Wang Shouzhe reminded.
"Add more, add more." Jiang Zhencang smiled so hard that his brows widened, "Longchang, you took advantage of my opportunity."
"Hmph!" Emperor Longchang handed over a stack of fairy crystal tickets with a sullen face, and then glared at Wang Shouzhe fiercely, "Shouzhe, can you clear out all the tiger-headed bees in your yard? Just a group of them. The high-level bees also dare to collect high-level honey, and their buzzing all day affects my playing cards."
"Longchang, Shouzhe is just speaking up." Jiang Zhencang said with a smile, "You can't bully me for not understanding how to play cards just now, right?" Looking at the small drawer in front of him, it was already filled with fairy crystal tickets, which showed that he was very lucky today.
"Come again, come again." Emperor Longchang complained to Liu Ruolan while rubbing the cards, "Ruolan, you have to take it easy. I'm guarding Zhe, that boy. Now he is obsessed with planting spiritual flowers and exotic flowers all day long. This is full of I can’t even control the flowers and colors in the garden.”
"Look at him, he's in a state of love. If he can't get a concubine, he's going to raise a few on his own. This kind of spiritual plant is special. It can be transformed into another form using the Transformation Pill at the fifth level."
"My husband is in love with you?" Liu Ruolan frowned, "That's really because I haven't thought about it well. I heard that the little girl named Yujun from the Zhao family in Tianfu is pretty good. My husband recently arranged her in the Wang family. In school, this is a rare natural talent, and with a little training, he has great potential in the future."
"That's all, I'll go and visit the Zhao family and see if I can be my husband's second wife and give birth to more children."
have to!
Even Zhao Yujun knew about it.
Wang Shouzhe gave Emperor Longchang a helpless look, "Your ability to complain is as good as heaven."
"Madam, please don't talk nonsense. Yujun's child is only sixteen years old. My husband also accepted Zhao's request for her honest cooperation and the child's good potential, and arranged for her to study in the Wang clan for further education. This can be regarded as training for Daqian. Talented people." Wang Shouzhe said while arranging flower branches, "Besides, the Zhao family of Tianfu is also a fifth-grade family. If you ask someone's direct descendant to be a concubine, aren't you trying to insult that family?"
"Husband, please don't be humble. You are a genius with a bright future. Taking a fifth-grade daughter as your concubine is not an insult."
Listening to what the couple said to each other, Emperor Longchang suddenly felt much better. Brat Shouzhe, if you tell me that you have nothing to do, I love to make small reports, and I love to wear small shoes for you.
What, you can’t beat me, why don’t you bite me?
"What Madam said makes sense. I, Wang Shouzhe, am a peerless genius, and with the immortal plant like Xian'er protecting me, there is a glimmer of hope for me to attack the true immortals in the future. At the worst, I will be a high-level Lingxu realm who can live for many years in the future. ." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "What is it like for a peerless genius like your husband to marry a daughter of a fifth-grade family as a concubine? Even if you want to marry, you have to..."
Emperor Longchang's heart thumped, and he secretly thought something was wrong. He interrupted angrily: "Wang Shouzhe, please don't mess around. No matter who makes the decision, I firmly oppose it."
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Just because the national war has been raging recently, I happened to go to Guilong City for a walk. Didn't you always say that I am in love... It seems that I really want to marry a concubine. .”
Emperor Longchang's hair stood on end. He knew all about Wang Shouzhe's tricks, and he also looked quite human-like. If he really wanted to seduce a little princess, he probably wouldn't be able to seduce a little princess. The Lord can escape his clutches.
Although Longchang can firmly oppose it, are there too many stories about raw rice and cooked rice in the world?
Emperor Longchang hurriedly forced out a kind smile on his face: "Shou Zhe, I am just joking with you. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. As you and I, the emperor and his ministers, harmony is the most precious thing, and peace is the most precious thing."
"Your Majesty, Shouzhe is joking with you too." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "As the saying goes, if you smile, ten years will be saved. Your Majesty, if you smile often, you will live a few more years."
"Thanks to Shou Zhe for your kind words, haha, I'm very pleased." Emperor Longchang smiled heartily, but secretly he had already begun to think about it. He had time to write a wolf prevention manual to give good training to the unmarried young princesses at home. Trained.
But at this moment.
Wang Ningxi, who had already recovered, went all the way to the small courtyard and hurriedly reported: "Grandpa, dad sent back the news that he can't deal with the Chimei Demon Envoy, and you need to do it yourself."
"Oh?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, "I didn't expect that the bones of the Chi Mei Demon Envoy were quite hard. It was indeed unexpected. Ning Xi, what did your father say?"
"This..." Wang Ningxi carefully glanced at the yard, but hesitated to speak.
"It doesn't matter, we are all our own people here." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"This... Daddy said that the Chi Mei Demon Envoy wants Grandpa Ancestor to marry her as his concubine. Only with this guarantee can he surrender."
"...?" Wang Shouzhe.
A cold breath rose up in the small courtyard, as if an invisible magic hand grabbed everyone's heart.
Even Jiang Zhencang, who was as strong as Lian, felt his heart suddenly freeze, his heart suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he looked at Liu Ruolan with doubtful eyes.
Ruo Lan, what is going on? How is this kind of breath possible?
Emperor Longchang immediately changed his face and secretly thought something was wrong. He hurriedly grabbed Jiang Zhencang and Wang Luoyi, who was playing cards with him, and kicked Wang Ningxi out of the yard: "I've had enough fun playing cards today, so I won't disturb you." You and your wife have been chatting, so take your leave."
After saying that, Emperor Longchang led everyone to leave Wang Shouzhe's courtyard as if he were fleeing.
"Shuiyue Tiange, seven days!"
"Ruoling, we are currently fighting a national war... As a husband, I need to keep my head clear and recharge my batteries."
"Ten days!"
"Liu Ruoling, don't go too far. You really think that I, Wang Shouzhe, are easy to bully."
"Okay, let's go to heaven."
"Just go."
Then, among the clouds in the sky, violent energy collision sounds were heard. From time to time, the clouds exploded, the space shook, and heavy rain continued.
Soon, Wang Shouzhe's voice came out.
"Xian'er, help. Hey, Xian'er, don't be silent. Wang Lixian, you little heartless person."
In the middle of Liuxian, under a big tree full of vitality, a little girl with pink and jade sculptures was struggling with math problems, as if she had not heard her dear father's request for help at all.
Just kidding, she doesn't want to be beaten by her mother with her father.
…
