Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2356: Chapter 18: My Grandson Is Just Too “Filial” (Part 3)

“I dare not, I dare not. I will immediately go and invite Master Shouzhe.” The guard was startled, hastily accepted the order, and left quickly.

…

An hour later, the sky had already darkened.

Wang Shouzhe was led onto a flying carriage by an old matron, and flew all the way to the highest point of the Immortal Court.

It was an immortal palace that seemed carved from Bai Yu, exquisitely crafted, full of immortal aura, overlooking the vast Sea of Clouds with a lowered head, and reaching for the Stars with a raised hand, truly a wondrous heavenly palace beyond words.

The Immortal Court, suspended above the Sea of Clouds, was already full of immortal charm, but this palace was more delicate, magnificent, and filled with more immortal aura than any place in the Immortal Court.

“Wait a moment!” As his gaze swept across the plaque above the palace gate, Wang Shouzhe suddenly realized, “Isn’t this His Majesty’s ’Celestial Habitat Palace’?”

The matron didn’t say much, but pointed at his [Immortal Order], then gestured towards the direction of the Immortal Emperor’s sleeping quarters.

Wang Shouzhe was about to say something when the voice of the Immortal Emperor came to his ears: “Is that Shouzhe? I have been handling myriad affairs today and am a bit weary. Come in and speak of whatever matter you’ve come for.”

Wang Shouzhe hesitated slightly, but eventually followed the matron to the Celestial Habitat Palace.

The matter Wealth spoke of was quite urgent, requiring the swift assistance of the Immortal Emperor, or else the consequences would be severe.

Soon, the matron led Wang Shouzhe to a celestial platform surrounded by veils.

The four corners of the celestial platform were adorned with exquisite wind chimes, and the decorative style maintained consistency with the overall grandeur and elegance of the Celestial Habitat Palace. The draping veils were light and supple, making the entire celestial platform even more ethereal, adding a touch of daydreaming.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was observing his surroundings, the matron suddenly vanished without a word, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Wang Shouzhe was left bewildered, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

“You’ve come all this way, why stand there pretending?” A lazy and coquettish voice of the Immortal Emperor came from within the celestial platform, “This celestial palace is cold at night, come in quickly to talk.”

Wang Shouzhe steadied himself and lifted the veil to enter.

In the next instant, he froze in place.

The Immortal Emperor was bathing in an Immortal Pool… though she wore a bellyband and rainbow garments, her long, jade-like beautiful legs were propped up on the edge of the bath, causing him to hurriedly turn his head and close his eyes: “Your Majesty, I did not know you were… um…”

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

“Halt!” the Immortal Emperor said with mild irritation, “You’ve already come, what are you running for? Speak, what is your business with me?”

“It’s Wealth who asked me to come over, to deliver a letter to Your Majesty, saying it contains something of great importance.” Wang Shouzhe said helplessly with his eyes shut, “Your Majesty, might you put on some clothes before we speak? I’m afraid I won’t be able to restrain myself.”

The Immortal Emperor rolled her eyes at him coquettishly.

If you can’t restrain yourself, then don’t restrain~

But by now, she naturally understood that Wang Shouzhe was not here for her, but tricked by Wealth.

She, the dignified Immortal Emperor, believed in mutual attraction with Wang Shouzhe and saw nothing wrong in enjoying intimate pleasures together, yet would not shamelessly thrust herself upon him.

Immediately, she waved her jade arm, and a white robe with gold trim enveloped her body.

Simultaneously, a surge of Immortal Spirit Qi enveloped Wang Shouzhe, instantly transporting him to a Zhaixing Platform.

The palace maids presented fine wine, delicacies, and various Immortal Fruits, and the Immortal Emperor and Wang Shouzhe took their seats as guests and hosts, proceeding to discuss serious matters.

“Have a look, Your Majesty.” Wang Shouzhe handed over the letter.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at the letter, immediately furrowing her brows: “That boy Wealth is right, something is indeed amiss with the Wei Family. Those missing members of the Demonic Clan, along with the peculiar traces found, remind me of a certain item.”

“Your Majesty is referring to…” Wang Shouzhe glanced at the letter, and somewhat guessed.

After all, he had dealt with the immortal monsters from the Divine Martial Era extensively, possessing related information that was not comparable to that of Zhou Hanmo.

“The Blood Soul Jade!” said the Immortal Emperor, “This is one of the most tenacious fugitives from the Divine Martial Era, a technique invented by the Evil Array Immortal, capable of extracting the blood, flesh, and Divine Soul of living beings through formations. Using the innate original power within those living beings to refine into Blood Soul Jade, its efficacy can reverse bodily aging and the decline of the True Spirit, quite miraculous.”

“Of course, this technique is extremely cruel and inefficient, harming countless beings for the benefit of one. It’s a method not allowed to be propagated in any normal society.”

“But eternal youth, strengthening the True Spirit, attaining a longer lifespan,” Wang Shouzhe looked at the Immortal Emperor and said, “Doesn’t Your Majesty find it tempting?”

“Naturally, it’s tempting.” The Immortal Emperor sighed, “Especially for a True Immortal like me, who has reached the transitional period. To retain eternal youth and live longer is something I greatly yearn for. Unfortunately, the Blood Soul Jade refined through such means is too demonic, full of malice, and easily corrupts the mind. Who knows when one might fall completely into madness.”

“Moreover, my Yun ancestry, entrusted by the Saint Emperor, must protect the fire of the human race. If I were to do such a thing, wouldn’t it disgrace the countless ancestors of the Yun family who have perished? And be unworthy of myself after six to seven thousand years of efforts for the survival of the human race.”

“Your Majesty’s will is firm.” Wang Shouzhe raised a cup in her honor, “I deeply admire you.”

After the toast.

The Immortal Emperor earnestly looked at Wang Shouzhe and said: “In truth, I greatly admire you as well. The achievements you’ve made in just a few hundred years are beyond even my reach. Shouzhe, Shouzhe, I believe you surpass the Saint Emperor. The future of our Divine Martial World rests upon you. I toast to you.”
