We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 289: Your Majestyʼs Meaning Is, You Also Want to Bring Me Into the Rear Palace

The Condensing Light Long Sword was gripped in Xiao Moʼs hand.

Each time Xiao Mo swung it, the crimson light left a brief afterimage in the air.

Moreover, the longer Xiao Mo used it, the better the Condensing Light Long Swordʼs warming effect on the spiritual power within his body became.

Even the overly sharp sword qi seemed to be gently wrapped by this long sword, avoiding damage to Xiao Moʼs spiritual meridians and allowing him to have better control over his sword qi.

It must be said, this Fairy Jiang from Ten Thousand Swords Sect had truly given him a good item.

With this sword, plus his current talent, Xiao Mo was confident he could break through to Foundation Building within four months.

Just as Xiao Mo was practicing the Grass Character Sword Formula more and more smoothly, even gradually entering the Dao and falling into a state of selflessness, a white sword light fell before him.

Xiao Mo didnʼt stop, directly meeting this white sword light.

”Clang, clang, clang!”

The white long sword clashed with the Condensing Light Long Sword in Xiao Moʼs hand.
Both were using the Grass Character Sword Formula.

The woman also suppressed her realm to the eighth level of Qi Refinement. However, compared to Xiao Mo, the womanʼs every move was more composed, even carrying a hint of casualness but soon, a flash of surprise passed through the womanʼs eyes, and she gradually became serious.

”Clang!”

After exchanging fifty moves, the long sword in Xiao Moʼs hand was knocked away by the womanʼs sword.

The long sword pierced into the ground, shattering the floor tiles, its body humming.

The womanʼs long sword was also positioned at Xiao Moʼs neck.

The womanʼs brows furrowed slightly. She gripped the long sword and used its flat side to tap the acupoints on both sides of Xiao Moʼs shoulders, then took a step forward, extending her pale fingers to point at Xiao Moʼs heart.

Xiao Mo couldnʼt move, only able to feel the womanʼs domineering spiritual power penetrating his body, probing his spiritual meridians and bone structure.

Xiao Mo didnʼt resist, mainly because resistance would be useless.

Half a cup of tea later, the woman withdrew her jade fingers and unsealed Xiao Moʼs acupoints.

”Fairy Jiang, whatʼs wrong?” Xiao Mo asked.

The woman flourished her sword and sheathed it. Her thin lips beneath the veil parted, her tone as cold as always, ”Nothing. Itʼs just that your progress today is remarkably swift. Not only have you entered the eighth level of Qi Refinement, but the circulation of spiritual power in your body is exceptionally smooth. When practicing sword techniques, you also enter the Dao more easily. I suspected you might have used some unorthodox methods.”

”...” Xiao Mo was somewhat speechless but didnʼt show it on his face. ”Perhaps my recent cultivation has gradually entered a good state.”

Fortunately, whether it was the Dragon Thunder Liquid or the Great Dao Marrow Cleansing Liquid, once used, they would completely merge with the bloodline and disappear without a trace, undetectable by others.

Otherwise, he really wouldnʼt be able to explain.

Regarding Xiao Moʼs answer, Jiang Qingyi nodded thoughtfully.

Although his progress was somewhat inexplicable, this was the only explanation.

Indeed, in this world, there were all kinds of people. Some people made faster progress the more they cultivated.

Some people even languished in the Nascent Soul realm for a thousand years, until the last moment of their lives when they broke through to the Jade Simplicity realm, then soared continuously afterward, reaching Ascension.

”Why didnʼt I see Fairy Jiang yesterday?”

Xiao Mo looked at Jiang Qingyiʼs contemplative expression and changed the subject, afraid she still wasnʼt reassured and would insist on questioning him thoroughly.

”Yesterday I went to see someone.” Jiang Qingyi spoke, her expression carrying some displeasure.

”Someone?” Xiao Mo asked curiously.

”Princess Qinyang of the Qin Kingdom, Qin Mujiu.”

Jiang Qingyi held her long sword. Recalling yesterdayʼs conversation with Qin Siyao, she couldnʼt help but rub the corners of her eyes, as if feeling somewhat troubled.

”However, speaking of which, Your Majesty truly has remarkable romantic fortune.”

Jiang Qingyi raised her head, looking at Xiao Mo with a half-smile.

”Your Majesty can not only marry Yan Ruxue, the Zhou Kingdomʼs foremost talented lady, but even that princess of the Qin Kingdom will also enter the palace to serve Your Majesty.

Your Majestyʼs cold and quiet rear palace seems to be becoming more and more lively.”

”Fairy Jiang, please donʼt tease Us. One daughter of the Yan family is already more than We can handle. Now with another Qin Kingdom princess, who knows how much more trouble there will be... Comparatively speaking, itʼs still more comfortable getting along with Fairy Jiang.”

Xiao Mo shook his head helplessly.

”Oh?” Jiang Qingyi blinked at Xiao Mo. ”Your Majestyʼs meaning is, you also want to bring me into the rear palace?”

”We donʼt mean that...”

Xiao Mo looked at the woman before him and joked.

”However, if Fairy Jiang wants to play at being a consort, thatʼs not impossible. You may choose whatever title you like.”

”Hehe?” Jiang Qingyi laughed coldly. ”If Your Majesty wants to take me to fill the rear palace, thatʼs fine. Wait until the day you can defeat me in combat.”

As her words fell, the long sword in Jiang Qingyiʼs hand thrust out. Xiao Mo was startled and drew the sword beside him that was stuck in the ground to parry.

Jiang Qingyiʼs sword speed was somewhat faster than before, and every time she found an opening, she would tap Xiao Mo with the flat of her blade.

Xiao Mo suffered terribly.

”Boom!”

An incense stickʼs worth of time later, Xiao Mo was forced into a corner against the wall. Jiang Qingyi thrust her sword beside Xiao Moʼs ear, pinning him against the wall.

The two were very close.

A light breeze blew past, and the womanʼs veil could gently brush against Xiao Moʼs chin.

Xiao Mo was certain.

She was in a bad mood.

She had just been venting on him but Xiao Mo couldnʼt guess the reason.

”Does Fairy Jiang have some grievance with that Princess Qinyang of the Qin Kingdom?” Xiao Mo asked directly.

”No grievance. Itʼs just that I dislike all women in the world!” Jiang Qingyi said coldly. ”Including myself.”

Xiao Mo was speechless.

”It seems Your Majesty currently has no way to bring me into the rear palace. Your Majesty should cultivate for a few hundred more years before trying.”

Jiang Qingyi withdrew her long sword and turned to leave the Dao Inquiry Platform.

”Fairy Jiang.” Xiao Mo called out.

”Does Your Majesty have something else?” Jiang Qingyi turned her head slightly, glancing at Xiao Mo.

”Tomorrow is Fairy Jiangʼs birthday. I wonder if Fairy Jiang has time? The Zhou Kingdom is willing to hold a banquet for Fairy Jiang to celebrate your birthday.” Xiao Mo asked.

”How does Your Majesty know tomorrow is my birthday?” Jiang Qingyi asked.

”Fairy Jiang is, after all, the National Preceptor sent by Ten Thousand Swords Sect. The Zhou Kingdom naturally must know Fairy Jiangʼs birthday to avoid being impolite.”

”The birthday banquet is unnecessary.” Jiang Qingyi said coldly. ”I donʼt like liveliness.”

”Then what kind of birthday gift would Fairy Jiang like? Otherwise, it would truly appear that the Zhou Kingdom has been negligent.” Xiao Mo asked again.

Jiang Qingyi thought for a moment and spoke, ”An osmanthus cake.”

”Osmanthus cake?” Xiao Mo was stunned.

”Yes, just one osmanthus cake will do, but it should be as large as a millstone.”

Xiao Mo was speechless.

”Whatʼs wrong?” Jiang Qingyi turned around. ”Canʼt it be done?”

”Thatʼs easy enough, but just one osmanthus cake?”

”Mm.”

Jiang Qingyi nodded, looking directly into Xiao Moʼs eyes.

”One osmanthus cake... will do...”
