(I sent the wrong proofreading version just now, friends who have already subscribed reload it.)
With Lu Tianxing's memories of the last 15 years, Xu Ran walked into the City Lord's Mansion, as if he was returning to his own home.

As usual, he came to the courtyard where the new house was located, pointed out some insignificant arrangements, and sent Lu Fang some benefits, then turned his hands behind his back and leisurely turned to the backyard of the new house.

There are three main rooms and two side rooms in the backyard.In the main room, two women and maidservants were persuading Gu Qingqing with trembling tongues.

"Miss Gu, our fifth son is definitely one of the best talents in the generation of teenagers in Immortal City. How many families can't ask for a marriage proposal..."

"The fifth son of our family is handsome, with good cultivation talent, and his parents are among the top five in the city..."

A woman stretched out her white and fat fingers, shook them vigorously in front of Gu Qingqing, and said in an extremely envious tone: "When they ascend to the fairy world in the future, the position of the city lord will not belong to your young couple..."

The two women couldn't stop chattering earnestly, their mouths were dry, so the maid brought tea, took a sip, moistened their throats and continued to persuade.

Gu Qingqing was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face was as usual, her eyes were calm, she was extremely calm and calm, the words of the women could not enter her mind at all.

Her attitude aroused the fighting spirit of the two women at first, and they became more and more enthusiastic when they talked, but because they couldn't get a response, they gradually became more and more discouraged.

In the end, the chubby old woman sighed and threatened: "Miss Gu, think about it carefully, don't toast and eat fine wine.

We are all women, if you say something that shouldn't be said, even if you don't want to, so what?
Rather than being used by others, it is better to take the initiative and end up comfortably, right? "

These words finally stung Gu Qingqing, her calm eyes suddenly froze, as if a ball of flame jumped, and soon hid in the dark pupils again.

The fat white woman was staring at her, wanting to see submission in her eyes, but she shivered subconsciously due to the chill.

Are all women from the outside world so fierce?

The fat woman couldn't help but think of the wife of the city lord. When she married the city lord, the two of them sparred like desperately, and beat the city lord until he vomited blood...

She and the other woman looked at each other, they shook their heads, and said "Think about it carefully, as a woman, you can't be strong in some aspects", so they wobbled and withdrew.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the small courtyard, they met Xu Ran's transformed Lu Tianxing head-on, and hurriedly saluted with smiles on their faces, "I have met the fifth son, congratulations to the fifth son!"

"Oh? Xu Ran smiled lightly, "Congratulations?That woman is willing? "

The fat white lady hurriedly said: "Hey, look at what you said, even if she agrees to this kind of thing, she would be hard to say. With your talent, appearance and means, fifth son, are you afraid that she won't follow?
Another woman also echoed: "That's right, twisted melons are sweeter when they are cooked."

"Hahaha." Xu Ran really wanted to slap them both to death, but he said with a smile: "Two unscrupulous old bastards, get out of here quickly."

After scolding them away, Xu Ran walked into the small courtyard, the two servant girls rushed out to greet them, Xu Ran signaled them to go down, and then entered the main room alone.

……

Gu Qingqing's face is calm, but her heart is extremely anxious. She is trying to break through the cultivation level sealed by the monks at the peak of the ninth realm.

If she was just an ordinary eighth-level peak cultivation base, she would naturally be helpless, but her full body was a mid-level ninth-level cultivation base, so giving her some time would be enough to unseal the seal calmly.

But what she lacks the most is time. Tomorrow is the wedding day, and there is not much time left for her.

And Feng Yin is not here. With her own strength, she can at most fight against the ninth-level monks. Like the ninth-level peak surnamed He, she is helpless.

Thinking of this, feeling that the seal was only a little bit close to being broken, she stopped.

Only when everyone is the most relaxed, at the moment when the seal is broken, can a hostage of enough weight be subdued to have the capital to negotiate. Otherwise, even if her cultivation base is fully restored, the situation here may not be changed.

The best hostage is the Fifth Young Master who wants to marry him wishfully. He has only entered and exited the Ninth Realm. With the combat power shown by the monks in this realm, there is at least a [-]% to [-]% chance of success.

Gu Qingqing, who had made up his mind, took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

At this moment, two servant girls came out to greet her, followed by the sound of footsteps outside the door, it sounded like a man had walked in.

If it's that Fifth Young Master, do you want to do it now?
Gu Qingqing's beautiful eyes swept across the room, now is indeed a good time.

……

Xu Ran closed the door with his backhand, not wanting to reveal his true identity right away. After all, the current wife of the city lord is Yao Zuo Huang, and Gu Qingqing has a monarch-subject friendship with her for hundreds of years. If Yao Zuo Huang can come forward to dissolve this marriage, it will not damage her relationship.

From Lu Tianxing's memory, Xu Ran learned that Yao Zuohuang and City Lord Lu Xian didn't know about it, so this was Xu Ran's soft plan.

If Yao Zuohuang's path fails, he will start a violent plan without hesitation and cut off this family in one fell swoop.

At that time, even if Yao Zuohuang is killed, Gu Qingqing will not feel ill at ease.

Xu Ran sat down on the chair opposite Gu Qingqing, and said softly: "Listen to them, do you still disagree?"

I didn't know that Lu Tianxing on the opposite side was Xu Ran, Gu Qingqing took a look at him, and said: "With your identity, appearance and cultivation, why don't you have a good woman you want, why use such a despicable woman?" Means, force me?"

She took a breath and was ready to break through the seal at any time. As long as the person in front of her showed any malicious intentions and tried to lose some foundation, she would take him down. If not, at least she had the ability to expose her soul.

Unexpectedly, the man on the opposite side changed the subject and didn't get entangled in the marriage. He only heard him say: "What is the purpose of your cultivation?"

Gu Qingqing didn't understand what he meant, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xu Ran didn't intend to ask her to answer, and continued: "Your purpose, I'm afraid it has something to do with your coming here, it should be to find Dao Fruit?"

Gu Qingqing was not surprised by these words. There must be a lot of Dagan monks who entered this place, and they knew it was normal.

He heard the other party say indifferently: "There is indeed a Dao fruit here, and the aura of Immortal City is particularly strong. The rapid progress of the residents in the city is all related to that Dao fruit."

"Really..." Gu Qingqing was finally moved, "But why did you tell me this?"

Xu Ran said: "Every time a person who can obtain the Dao Fruit, in addition to the requirements for cultivation, he also needs to obtain a precious quota, and my father is the city lord, who has the right to allocate quotas. As long as you are willing to marry me, you can get the precious quota. You can also get the support of our family to help you practice with all your strength."

"no!"

Gu Qingqing flatly refused, emotional matters cannot be traded, not to mention that she only has Xu Ran in her heart, "If this is the condition, the young master should be spared."

Xu Ran smiled knowingly, "Do you have someone in mind?"

Seeing that his demeanor was not frivolous, Gu Qingqing nodded, "Gu Mou already has a marriage contract, so I'm sorry."

"Ok."

Gu Qingqing was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"I said okay, I believe you will agree willingly," Xu Ran smiled slightly, and then changed the topic, "You are from the outside world, and you have a demon body, and my mother is also a demon body. Her old man came from the outside world 300 years ago. To Immortal City.

When I first came here, my cultivation level was comparable to yours, but now I am only one step away from Ascension to the Immortal Realm, I hope you can meet her, maybe you will change your mind..."

"Who is your mother?"

Gu Qing stood up immediately, her face turned red slightly, she was very familiar with the high-level demon clan who entered Taohua Mountain 300 years ago to look for spiritual fruits, whether it was from the Yaozuo Kingdom or the Water Demon Kingdom, maybe This thing really turned a corner.

Xu Ran smiled faintly, "You'll know it when you've seen her."

Gu Qingqing lightly saluted, "Please trouble Mr. Lu to lead the way."

Xu Ran said meaningfully: "I forgot to mention, we have a customary rule here, three days before the marriage, the daughter-in-law who has not married is not allowed to see her parents-in-law, so I have to wait until after the wedding tomorrow, ha ha."

"you……"

Dare to lie to me, Gu Qingqing was furious, she wanted to forcefully break through the seal, and fight to the death with the person in front of her.

Xu Ran was at level 87 at this time, and his cultivation was far beyond that of ordinary ninth-level monks. He immediately felt the abnormal fluctuations in Gu Qingqing's mana, and guessed what she was going to do.

The joke is too big, not to this point.

Quickly and calmly added a forbidden magic to Gu Qingqing, the trace of mana that made her forcibly transferred froze again, and said: "I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously, my mother once told me about her In the past, she was the emperor of the demon country and ruled thousands of demon clans in Daqian, if you are from Daqian, you should know about it, right?"

His mother is His Majesty? !
Gu Qingqing stared at Xu Ran's Lu Tianxing, and took a while to look away, not seeing that he was lying, "Take me to see Your Majesty, I am her prime minister, and I have something important to present to you in person. .”

Unable to tease her anymore, Xu Ran got up and made a gesture of invitation, "Please, Miss Gu."

……

Yao Zuohuang didn't know about his precious son, so he cheated on his father first, and privately promised others a place to enter the Daoguo Lingguan. This is the biggest taboo in Immortal City.

What's more, he didn't know that he was cheating again, and the wife he was going to marry was actually his prime minister.

As soon as she and the city lord left the customs, she heard from the eldest son Lu Tiancheng who was in charge of affairs that the old son was going to get married suddenly, and that he was going to marry a female cultivator at the peak of the eighth realm from outside. She was about to ask him to ask for clarification. That woman, if she likes it, she will allow the marriage.

The maid who was sent to look for Lu Tianxing came back immediately, bowed and said: "Madam Qi, the fifth son has already brought the young lady and is already waiting outside the door, saying that he wants to pay his respects to the lady."

Yao Zuohuang was very happy, his cynical son finally grew up and became sensible this time.

He smiled and said, "What does that woman look like? What is her cultivation?"

The maid hurriedly said: "Congratulations, madam, young madam is unparalleled in beauty, and has an extraordinary temperament. Except for you, madam, Xiaoyu has never seen such a beautiful woman. As for cultivation, Xiaoyu can't see through it. I'm afraid at least eight above the border."

"Okay, really good," Yao Zuohuang said several good words, "please come in quickly."

Not long after the maid went down, she saw the precious son walking in with a spring breeze, and behind him, followed by a slim young woman in a light yellow dress.

In Yao Zuo Huang's eyes, she could see Gu Qingqing's face clearly just by looking at her face, she stood up suddenly, and walked up quickly, "Gu Xiang, is it you?"

Gu Qingqing also saw clearly that the gorgeously dressed noble lady who walked over quickly was indeed the Yao Zuohuang who had not been heard from for 300 years!
Hastily bowed down and said: "Chen Qingqing, I pay my respects to my emperor. All these years, thousands of people in the Yaozuo Kingdom have been looking forward to you..."

Yao Zuo Huang hurriedly took her hand, invited her to sit down, and said happily: "Now I am no longer Yao Zuo Huang, but the wife of the city lord in a tiny place, you and I should be called sisters."

Gu Qingqing was a little moved, and said: "Sister, how did you become the wife of the city lord here?"

"It's not urgent, it's a long story."

Yao Zuohuang sighed, and said: "When I led the people to look for spiritual fruits, I accidentally stumbled into this place and found that the spiritual energy here is particularly strong, so I planned to practice here, but it didn't take long before I found out that this is a sleepy place. , can only come in, but can’t get out no matter what.”

Seeing that Gu Qingqing was puzzled, she said again: "Actually, it's not that you can't get out, but if you want to go out, there is only one way to go, and that is to ascend to the fairyland.

But how can it be so easy to achieve the peak cultivation of Sanxian?

In addition to the aura advantage here, you can only master all kinds of cultivation resources as much as possible, and what more resources can you master than being a city lord?hehe. "

In just a few words, Gu Qingqing understood that she must control power wherever she goes. In Dagan, she is the monarch of Yaozuo Kingdom, and in Immortal City, she will be the city lord. This is in line with her personality.

"Congratulations, sister." Gu Qingqing didn't bother to ask about Feisheng Immortal Realm at this time, and the topic turned to the present, "Is this Mr. Lu really your son?"

Seeing Yao Zuo Huang nodding affectionately, Gu Qingqing was overjoyed, "You and I are both monarchs and ministers, and sisters, so there is no reason for a nephew to marry an aunt. I originally disagreed with this marriage, and this is even worse. I hope my sister will tell Mr. Lu."

Who knows that Yao Zuohuang laughed and said: "You and I are both practitioners, so why bother to stick to trifles?
Needless to say, my son's talent, cultivation and appearance, even if he rises to the top in the future, my sister will have to rely on the resources of Immortal City, right? "

Gu Qingqing's smile suddenly froze on his face, is he threatening him with the matter of ascension?
The hundreds of years of friendship between monarchs and ministers can't stand this test?

She sat up straight and said decisively: "Sister, this matter must never happen. You know about my sister's past, not to mention that I have opened my heart to that person and have a marriage contract."

"My sister is confused, that person is just a mortal, let's not talk about the longevity, let's just say right now, you can't get out of this world at all, with that person's ability, how can you get in here?

It is better to live in the present than to be in name but not in reality.

In the future, if we ascend to the fairy world, we will only be separated from that person forever, let alone have a chance..."

Yao Zuohuang's smile became deeper and deeper, as for Gu Qingqing, who was a little dizzy looking at it, she said again: "I know this, you won't understand it for a while, and the marriage is not in a hurry, you go back first think about it."

Seeing that someone issued an order to evict guests, the maid Xiaoyu made a gesture of invitation, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to take back the words that came to her lips.

Just as Xu Ran was about to go with her, he heard Yao Zuohuang say: "Xing'er stay here, I have something to tell you for my mother."

Watching Gu Qingqing go out, Xu Ran turned around, "Mother, please tell me."

"Things that don't grow!"

Yao Zuohuang looked annoyed, and said in a low voice: "Do you know that her seal can be broken at any time? Although your cultivation base is higher than hers, if she gives it a go, you may not be an opponent. I'm afraid It ended up being a chicken-flying-egg-beating, fish-and-death end."

Xu Ran felt chills in his heart, Yao Zuo Huang called one sister at a time, it was so sinister, but he pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said: "Since Mother has noticed it, it seems that there is no serious problem."

Yao Zuohuang looked in the direction of the gate, "Hmph, don't worry, I've already done something wrong just now, so don't worry about what you want to do."

Xu Ran hurriedly asked: "What kind of method did my mother use? Tian Xing will know how to use it when the time comes."

Yao Zuohuang sneered and said: "If she breaks through the seal forcefully, it will trigger my new seal. Unless there is a Sanxian-level expert to help her, it is impossible for her to break it."

"Thank you, my lord!"

He also heard Yao Zuohuang say: "She is Gu Qingqing, with outstanding talent, but if you can get Gu Qingyin, then it will be perfect."

Xu Ran pretended to be dazed, "What do you mean, Mother?"

Yao Zuohuang narrowed his eyes, "You arrange people to search for a woman named Feng Yin in the whole city. If she is together with Gu Qingqing, it will be Gu Qingyin."

"Tian Xing will do it!"

Xu Ran gave a salute and hurried out, but he was already greeting Yao Zuo Huang in his heart.

What you did to Qingqing today, Xu will repay you double!
