Now that her belly had grown, she couldn’t figure out when the little ones would arrive. But thinking about the Demon Soul situation, she still hadn’t prepared!
However, she quickly comforted herself. This was her first ti being a mother, and there were always things she would miss. Now that she had realized this, she would prepare everything promptly.
But for the mont, the most pressing concern was treating Ao Zhaozhao’s injuries and changing her ragged clothes.
She nodded. "Then let’s go to the Bai family."
Nanli took out the Heaven Star Brush and drew a huge teleportation array.
Siheng saw them from a distance but couldn’t make it over in ti before Nanli and the others had already disappeared.
But Xin Chuan, on the other hand, was kicked out of the teleportation array.
Xin Chuan muttered curses in his heart at Bai Hao. If he still had the cultivation from back in the day, would this old man dare to humiliate him like this?
The Bai family was nothing special! Did they really think he’d care about visiting them?
Just then, a figure appeared next to him. Xin Chuan looked up, and it was none other than Siheng.
Siheng’s expression was grim, clearly displeased with Nanli’s sudden departure.
"They went where?" Siheng asked.
Xin Chuan’s mind raced, and he imdiately replied, "To the Bai family. Ah! On such a cold day, Celestial Sovereign, you’re still busy here. Why isn’t your sister waiting here instead?"
Upon hearing this, Siheng’s face darkened even further.
Just when Xin Chuan thought he had succeeded in his sche, Siheng made a slight move with his hand, and with a resounding slap, he struck Xin Chuan’s face.
The force was overwhelming.
Xin Chuan was sent flying, tumbling across the icy ground until he ca to a stop.
His face turned red and swollen, and his head rang with a dull pain.
Before he could rise, Siheng was already standing in front of him.
His voice was icy, laced with a hint of mockery.
"I’ve tolerated you for a long ti."
"You think you’re soone special, trying to get close to A’Li?"
"Xin Chuan, just because you call her sister, do you really think you have a close relationship with her?"
Anyone who dared to sow discord between him and A’Li’s relationship deserved to die!
Xin Chuan saw the sword intent gathering in the air. His pupils contracted, and only then did he realize why Bai Hao and Cinian never dared to speak against Siheng.
This man truly wanted to kill him!
He had provoked the one person he shouldn’t have.
Regret filled his heart, but he couldn’t bring himself to beg for rcy.
At that mont, Siheng’s actions paused slightly.
He pulled out a Telestone, and Nanli’s voice ca through, "Siheng, we’ve arrived at the Bai family. Co over once you’re done here."
Just a mont ago, Siheng had been full of killing intent, but now, his brows softened, and his tone beca gentle.
"Alright."
He put away the Telestone, and the murderous aura that had been suffocating Xin Chuan eased.
However, Siheng’s eyes still remained cold as he stared at Xin Chuan.
"You’ve been at Jialan Celestial Mountain long enough," he said.
Siheng was waiting for Xin Chuan to make a mistake so that he could end his life.
With the suppression of spiritual power gone, Xin Chuan finally managed to breathe normally and speak.
"I... I understand." His voice was strained.
Siheng retracted his sword intent, turned, and left, continuing with his own tasks.
It wasn’t until Siheng had walked far away that Xin Chuan could finally breathe freely again. He touched his forehead, covered in a cold sweat.
His cheek still throbbed painfully. Every movent made him gasp in pain.
"Siheng, you really went that far!" he thought bitterly.
"What do you have aside from your good looks and powerful cultivation? Without Nanli’s help, how could you have reached where you are now?"
"Today, you’ve humiliated . I will make sure to repay this double in the future!"
Filled with hatred, Xin Chuan stood up, still feeling the sting in his cheek. His face was swelling, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.
Just then, his Telestone vibrated again.
It was Nanli.
He was still seething with anger, and his voice was unclear due to his swollen face. "What is it?"
"What’s wrong with you?" Nanli asked, sounding puzzled.
"My business is none of your concern!" Xin Chuan snapped back angrily.
Nanli, upon hearing this, imdiately hung up the Telestone.
Xin Chuan froze for a mont, and after waiting for a while without any response, his temper flared. He recited her telepathic incantation.
When Nanli picked up, she sarcastically said, "What? Didn’t you just say that your business had nothing to do with ?"
Xin Chuan replied, "Call Xin Xiaodi, and then my business won’t concern you anymore."
"Forget it." Nanli firmly rejected him. "I just wanted to inform you that Asura Palace has already selected a location to rebuild. You can go to the Capital to ask my Second Brother for the exact location. Your subordinates are already waiting in the Capital."
Xin Chuan felt a pang in his heart.
He didn’t respond for a long ti.
Nanli, thinking he was dissatisfied, added, "I told you before. I’m giving you Asura Palace a place to stand. As for Spirit Mines and the like, you can forget about it. Also, Asura Palace better change its na to sothing the common people can trust. Don’t engage in dirty business dealings anymore. If you break the rules, even if the heavens don’t punish you, I won’t let you off."
Xin Chuan’s heart beca even more sour, as if sothing was stuck in his chest.
This ant that it would be hard for him to see her again.
Siheng would surely keep her tightly guarded.
He finally spoke, his voice bitter, "Will your child’s birth be celebrated? Can I co to congratulate you?"
Nanli laughed. "You? Co to congratulate ? You, who’s always so stingy, are willing to give my son a full month gift?"
"Of course."
"Then you have to prepare three gifts, no favoritism!" Nanli added.
Xin Chuan’s resentnt from earlier completely dissipated at this mont.
He chuckled softly, his swollen cheek hurting as he did. "It’s a deal then."
He used a talisman to ease the pain in his face and set off on his journey.
Upon arriving at the Chu family, Chu Shuo imdiately notified Nanli. To his surprise, less than an hour later, Xin Chuan arrived.
Although Xin Chuan’s face still looked acceptable, his right cheek was swollen, making his appearance less than perfect.
"Lord Xin," Chu Shuo said, accustod to handling business. Seeing Xin Chuan’s grim expression, he wisely refrained from asking any questions.
He pointed to a location on the map, which was in the direction of Qing State.
Xin Chuan’s subordinates had already inquired, and they learned that while Mu Nation was vast, the best states were only a few.
Qing State was one of those, known for its abundant spiritual energy and the presence of Spirit Trees.
His heart ward as he muttered, "Qing State? Asura Palace can actually take root there..."
Chu Shuo said, "Doesn’t Asura Palace have a Spirit Boat? Qing State is considered the center of Mu Nation. This was decided after discussion between Third Brother and Fifth Brother. When the ti cos, we’ll need Asura Palace to transport sothing. Don’t refuse."
Xin Chuan was taken aback. "You’re even returning the Spirit Boat to us?"
This was sothing he hadn’t anticipated.
Chu Shuo nodded. "Of course. We’re not thieves."
Even if they had taken it, they wouldn’t have used it.
There was no need to forcibly keep the Spirit Boat.
Xin Chuan was deeply moved.
When he had co to Mu Nation, he had prepared for the worst. But to his surprise, the Emperor of Mu Nation was returning everything!
Asura Palace had always relied on dirty dealings and ruthless plundering to survive in the Immortal World. He knew that in order to survive and grow stronger, there were no rules to follow—one had to rely on oneself!
Now, Mu Nation was following the rules and extending an olive branch. If he had any sense, he would follow these rules from now on. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Asura Palace to remain in Mu Nation’s territory in the future!
This was the wisdom of the Emperor of Mu Nation!
Truly, the Human Emperor!
