Chapter 1379: Chapter 45 Shou Zhe’s Concubine Tale (Requesting Monthly Votes) _4 Chapter 1379: Chapter 45 Shou Zhe’s Concubine Tale (Requesting Monthly Votes) _4 “Hmph! The likelihood is slim; any Prominent Family that gets the chance to excavate True Immortal Ruins would think about monopolizing it.” For a moment, Demon Lord Xietong’s face fluctuated between gloom and brightness, self-comforting with a phrase before solemnly saying, “But we can’t neglect this matter either. The longer we drag on, the more accidents can arise. I will immediately send a Teleportation Talisman to my true self, urging him to prompt the military forces of Qin and Jin to launch a full-scale attack. Compared to the importance of the Blood Venerate’s ruins, what’s the loss of some lives?”

“The Demon King is wise.” Shadow Snake Demonic Princess carefully flattered.

…

At the same time.

In Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard, the scenery was delightful, with meticulously cultivated Spirit Plants and flowers everywhere, and Tiger Head Spirit Bees fluttering about greedily pouncing on Spirit Flowers, joyfully gathering nectar.

Unbeknownst to all, the group of Tiger Head Spirit Bees that had moved their nests into Shouzhe Courtyard was only a Level One bee colony, yet they feasted on the nectar of Level Three, Level Four, and even Level Five Spirit Plants.

It’s as if a poor lad had hooked up with a group of beautiful female CEOs–a truly carefree and comfortable life, right?

“Kong!” Emperor Longchang excitedly shouted, “Everyone, get ready for a bloom off the Kong. Ah, just a bit short, what a pity~~~ Five of circles, nobody wants it, right?”

After a pause for two breaths, when Jiang Zhencang reached out to draw a tile, the voice of Wang Shouzhe, who was pruning branches behind him, spoke up, “Master Jiang, no need to draw anymore, you’ve won with the five of circles.”

“Ah? I’ve won?” Jiang Zhencang pondered over his tiles, then burst into enlightened laughter, “Tucking the five of circles, seems like I’ve won indeed. Longchang, pay up.”

“Master Jiang, His Majesty called a Kong Off the Wall, don’t forget the extra wager,” Wang Shouzhe reminded.

“Extra wager, extra wager.” Jiang Zhencang laughed with relaxed brows, “Longchang, it was your hand that brought me the chance for a win off a Kong.”

“Hmph!” Emperor Longchang, wearing a gloomy face, handed over a stack of Immortal Crystal notes, then fiercely glared at Wang Shouzhe, “Shouzhe, can you clear out those Tiger Head Spirit Bees in your courtyard? Just a bunch of lowly Level One Spirit Bees daring to gather high-level nectar, all this buzzing is interfering with my mahjong game.”

“Longchang, Shouzhe is just being just and fair,” Jiang Zhencang said with a smile, “You can’t be bullying me for being new to the game, can you?” Looking at the drawer in front of him, already filled with Immortal Crystal notes, it was clear his luck today was actually quite good.

“Let’s have another round,” Emperor Longchang grumbled as he shuffled the tiles and complained to Liu Ruolan, “Ruolan, take it easy. I see that boy Shouzhe is now totally obsessed with cultivating Spirit Flowers and plants; he can’t even control the myriad colors blooming in his garden.”

“I think he’s smitten by spring fever, unable to marry a concubine and decides to raise a few himself, with those unique Spirit Plant species that can transform with the Transformation Pill at Level Five.”

“Is the husband’s heart stirred by spring fever?” Liu Ruolan frowned slightly, “Then indeed I haven’t considered it carefully. I’ve heard that the girl named Yu Jun from the Tianfu Zhao Clan isn’t bad. My husband has even arranged for her to study at the Wang Family Clan School recently, a rare natural-born Sky Pride, who with just a bit of cultivation, will have considerable potential in the future.”

“Let’s forget it, I’ll visit the Zhao Clan and see if we can talk her into becoming my husband’s second wife, to bear a few more children.”

Blimey!

Even that Zhao Yuyun is known now.

Wang Shouzhe helplessly rolled his eyes at Emperor Longchang, your talent for tattling could reach the heavens.

“My lady, do not speak nonsense, that girl Yu Jun is only sixteen years old. My husband simply saw, due to the sincere cooperation of the Zhao Clan and the girl’s promising potential, kindly accepted the request to arrange her to further her studies at the Wang Family Clan School, as a way to cultivate talent for Da Qian,” Wang Shouzhe explained while pruning the branches, “Besides, the Tianfu Zhao Clan is also a Grade Five Prominent Family, asking their Direct Line to become a concubine is quite offensive, wouldn’t you say?”

“Husband need not be modest, you are an Unparalleled Heavenly Child, with boundless prospects for the future. Taking a Grade Five Prominent Family’s direct daughter as a concubine is not an insult to them.”

Listening to the couple’s back-and-forth conversation, Emperor Longchang’s mood improved a lot, you little rascal Shouzhe, calling you out for always offending me, I love to snitch, I love to make things difficult for you.

What are you going to do, you can’t beat me, are you going to bite me?

“My wife makes a very good point, I Wang Shouzhe am an Unparalleled Heavenly Child, and with the Immortal Plant Little Immortal protecting me, I may even have a chance at becoming a True Immortal in the future. At the least, I will be a high-ranking Transcendent Void Realm who will live a good many years,” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “For an unparalleled talent like me, marrying a Grade Five Prominent Family’s daughter as a concubine, what’s that? If I were to marry, it would have to be…”

Emperor Longchang felt a sudden heart-stopping moment, hurriedly interrupting, “Wang Shouzhe don’t you dare make a mess of things, whoever it is, I am staunchly against it.”

“Your Majesty need not worry,” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “Just that recently with the war clouds gathering, I might as well visit Return to Dragon City. Didn’t you say I’m smitten by spring fever… it does seem like I indeed fancy taking a concubine.”

Emperor Longchang felt his hair stand on end, he knew full well the tricks Wang Shouzhe was capable of, and with his fair outward appearance, if he really set his mind on seducing a certain Little Princess, probably not one could escape his clutches.

Although he, Longchang, could firmly oppose it, aren’t there plenty of stories in the world where uncooked rice gets cooked into a done deal?

Emperor Longchang hurriedly squeezed out a friendly smile: “Shouzhe ah, I was just joking with you. As the saying goes, it’s better to resolve enmity than to hold a grudge. You and I, as monarch and subject, should value peace above all else, peace is of the utmost importance.”

“Your Majesty, Shouzhe was also joking with you.” Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, “As the saying goes, a single laugh can shave off ten years, if Your Majesty laughs often, you can live a few years longer.”

“Thanks to Shouzhe’s auspicious words, haha, it brings me great comfort.” Emperor Longchang laughed heartily, but in his heart, he had already begun to ponder. Whenever he had the chance, he would have to write a ‘Manual for Wolf-proofing’ and train the unmarried Little Princesses at home well.

But at this moment.

The recovered Wang Ningxi hurried into the courtyard to report: “Great-grandfather, father has sent a message that he can’t deal with that Chimei Demon Master and needs you to take action personally.”

“Oh?” Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, “I didn’t expect that Chimei Demon Master to be so stubborn, indeed unexpected. Ningxi, what did your father say?”

“This…” Wang Ningxi cautiously glanced around the courtyard, seeming hesitant to continue.

“It’s all right, we are all family here.” Wang Shouzhe said calmly, “What do you have to say, just say it?”

“Well… Father said, the Chimei Demon Master wants great-grandfather to take her as a concubine as a guarantee, and only then she would be willing to surrender.”

“…?” Wang Shouzhe.

A cold aura began to rise within the little courtyard, like an invisible demonic hand grasping everyone’s heart.

Even someone as strong as Jiang Zhencang was suddenly taken aback, his gaze uncertainly looking at Liu Ruolan.

Ruolan, what is going on here? How is this aura possible?

Emperor Longchang’s face also changed instantly, sensing something bad, he hurriedly grabbed Jiang Zhencang, dragged Wang Luoyi, who was playing cards with them, and with a kick sent Wang Ningxi out of the courtyard: “We’ve had enough fun with the cards today. Let’s not disturb you and your wife’s conversation. We’ll take our leave.”

After saying that, Emperor Longchang fled the scene with his people, leaving Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard in haste.

“Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion, seven days!”

“Ruoling, I’m currently preoccupied with running state wars… I need to keep a clear head, to conserve my energy.”

“Ten days!”

“Liu Ruoling, don’t be too excessive, do you really think I, Wang Shouzhe, am so easy to bully?”

“Alright, let’s go to heaven.”

“Let’s go then.”

Then, from amongst the clouds in the sky, came echoes of violent energy clashes. The clouds burst now and then, space trembled, and the rain poured relentlessly.

Soon, Wang Shouzhe’s voice came through.

“Little Immortal, help.” “Hey hey, Little Immortal, don’t give me the silent treatment.” “Wang Lixian, you heartless little thing.”

Under a vibrant tree in Stay Immortal Residence, a porcelain-like little girl was struggling with math problems, seemingly oblivious to her dear daddy’s pleas for help.

What a joke, she definitely didn’t want to get beaten up by her mom together with her dad.
