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

Chapter 422: How Can This Crazy Woman Be in the Palace?

”Fairy has helped me greatly. How could I harbor improper thoughts toward you? Please donʼt make such jokes.”

Xiao Mo smiled helplessly.

”Itʼs just that the night has deepened, and palace maids constantly come and go outside my bedchamber. Iʼm worried it might affect your reputation.”

”Iʼm a woman and Iʼm not worried, so what is His Majesty worried about?” Jiang Qingyi rolled her eyes at Xiao Mo.

”Letʼs go!”

After speaking, Jiang Qingyi strode toward the outside of the Dao Inquiry Platform.

With her back to Xiao Mo, Jiang Qingyiʼs lips couldnʼt help but press together, her expression seeming displeased.

”Doesnʼt even dare harbor thoughts toward me, coward!”

The woman whispered softly, only she herself could hear.

Two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Qingyi arrived at Xiao Moʼs bedchamber.
Jiang Qingyi raised her delicate nose and sniffed.

The bedchamber held Xiao Moʼs scent, with no other personʼs aura.

It seemed no other woman had stayed overnight here for long.

That made sense, the Empress Dowagerʼs precious ”granddaughter” hadnʼt even conceived Xiao Moʼs dragon seed yet. How could she possibly let Xiao Mo secretly favor palace maids?

”Dragon seed...”

Jiang Qingyi thought about those two words sheʼd just said in her heart and couldnʼt help but smile coldly.

As if it really were dragon seed!

”Is there something improper about my bedchamber?” Xiao Mo watched Jiang Qingyi examine his room with such a serious expression, as if examining some important ancient ruins.

”Nothing. I just feel His Majestyʼs room is different from what I imagined, very plain.” Jiang Qingyi casually found an excuse to cover up. However, Jiang Qingyi wasnʼt wrong. Xiao Moʼs room was indeed plain.

The bedchamber mostly contained Daoist law books, yin-yang fish diagrams, eight trigrams diagrams and other things related to Daoism, without much luxurious decoration.

Jiang Qingyi couldnʼt help but think of that small wooden cabin from three thousand years ago.

Although he was a sect elder, the cabin contained nothing more than a bed and a table.

”Iʼm just one person. I donʼt have many hobbies, so how many things could there be?” Xiao Mo answered.

Jiang Qingyi glanced at Xiao Mo, ”Living alone now, but before long, two stunning imperial consorts will enter the palace. Then through the long nights, accompanied by beauties, His Majesty will be quite comfortable. Just donʼt neglect cultivation when the time comes.”

Xiao Mo sighed softly, ”If it were possible, Iʼd rather be alone. Compared to women, cultivation is more interesting.”

”Hehe.” Jiang Qingyi laughed coldly a few times, clearly not believing Xiao Moʼs nonsense. ”Cultivation is His Majestyʼs own matter. As long as you know in your heart.”

Jiang Qingyi collected herself and took out nine longswords from her storage pouch.

The grade of these nine longswords was clearly extraordinary.

Each sword was carved with obscure runes.

”Fall!”

Jiang Qingyi waved her hand grandly. The nine longswords flew out, each inserting into nine different directions of the bedchamber.

Jiang Qingyi then took out a scroll.

The scroll unfurled. Jiang Qingyi formed hand seals. The formation diagram separated from the scroll, covering the entire bedchamber and concealing itself together with the nine longswords.

”This formation is my own creation. Within the formation are a strand of my sword intent and nine sword qi strands. Itʼs like a whetstone. When His Majesty rests at night, this formation will activate on its own and can polish His Majestyʼs sword qi and sword intent.

His Majesty can also carefully comprehend this strand of sword intent Iʼve left behind.

Perhaps over time, youʼll gain some understanding, which will be of considerable help to His Majestyʼs future foundation building.”

Jiang Qingyi explained to Xiao Mo.

”I see.” Xiao Mo bowed in salute. ”Thank you, Fairy Jiang.”

”His Majesty need not thank me. Foundation building ultimately still depends on oneself. External assistance is always just icing on the cake. If His Majesty can truly establish foundation smoothly, that will be His Majestyʼs own capability.”

”Though thatʼs true, during these days, Fairy has truly helped too much.”

Xiao Mo was quite moved, and what he said was also the truth.

If not for this Fairy Jiangʼs guidance, Xiao Mo felt his cultivation certainly wouldnʼt have progressed so rapidly.

He might still be stumbling somewhere.

”Too much?”

A trace of reminiscence flashed through Jiang Qingyiʼs eyes.

”Perhaps itʼs because long ago, someone also helped me like this. If not for him, never mind embarking on the path of cultivation, Iʼm afraid I would have already starved to death somewhere.”

”The senior who helped Fairy must certainly be a kind-hearted person,” Xiao Mo flattered. ”If thereʼs an opportunity, Iʼd like to meet this senior.”

As Xiao Moʼs words fell, Jiang Qingyiʼs beautiful eyes looked directly at Xiao Mo.

”Whatʼs wrong, Fairy?”

Xiao Mo asked in confusion.

Could he have said something wrong?

”Nothing.” Jiang Qingyi turned her head away, her tone cool. ”Whatʼs so good about seeing that kind of person? Only a fool would want to see him.”

”...”

Xiao Mo was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Just as the two in the bedchamber fell into silence, a mosquito that had long been lurking in the darkness spread its wings and flew toward Xiao Mo.

The Sky Horn Mosquito landed on the back of Xiao Moʼs hand. Its mosquito legs grasped that extremely fine silver needle, about to pierce Xiao Moʼs hand.

Just as the Sky Horn Mosquito was about to succeed, Jiang Qingyi suddenly turned her head.

The instant Jiang Qingyiʼs gaze fell on that mosquito, the sword qi around her body transformed into a fine thread, directly piercing through the mosquitoʼs body.

The Sky Horn Mosquito didnʼt even have time to react before its eyes went black and it fell from the back of Xiao Moʼs hand, dropping to the ground.

The Sky Horn Mosquitoʼs thin legs twitched a few times before quickly falling silent.

”Fairy Jiang?”

Although Xiao Mo didnʼt know what had happened, he sensed her intense killing intent.

Jiang Qingyi walked past Xiao Moʼs side, her skirt hem brushing by. She slowly crouched down and picked up the Sky Horn Mosquitoʼs corpse.

”Itʼs nothing.”

Jiang Qingyi carefully examined this Sky Horn Mosquito, then turned her head, her gaze passing through the window, her eyes narrowing.

”Just that a few ʼmosquitoesʼ entered the ʼhouse.ʼ”

At the same time, in a separate courtyard of the inner palace, the palace maids who had trained all day were all asleep.

Sili lay on her bed, carefully examining the pearl in her hand.

After continuously absorbing the Zhou Kingdom rulerʼs fresh blood for five days, this soul pearl was as red as a blood moon.

As long as she collected tonightʼs and tomorrow nightʼs blood, Sili would be able to know the Zhou Kingdom rulerʼs identity.

Raising her head, Sili looked at the moonlight outside the window, feeling it was about time to go but just as Sili turned to get out of bed, her fair jade foot just slipping into her embroidered shoe, Siliʼs spirit suddenly shook.

She abruptly raised her head, looking toward the direction of the Zhou Kingdom rulerʼs bedchamber.

She clearly sensed that her Sky Horn Mosquito had died.

The Sky Horn Mosquito dying was no matter.

Sili didnʼt care about that but the strand of sword qi that had killed the Sky Horn Mosquito made Sili feel as if facing a great enemy.

”It really is her!”

Recalling that night when the crazy woman chased after her and Wangxin, Sili clenched her delicate fist tightly, feeling great alarm in her heart.

”How can this crazy woman be in the palace?”
