Imperial Cultivation

At this moment, inside the Qionghua Restaurant, Li Yuzhen quickly composed herself, hiding her surprise.

She knew that Her Highness was about to lose her temper.

Her Highness was extremely sensitive and couldn't bear being teased.

"Your Highness, then I'll be going," Li Yuzhen said, hurrying to retreat.

Li Miaotan huffed, "Tomorrow night!"

"Yes," Li Yuzhen obediently agreed and was about to leave.

Li Miaotan suddenly frowned, raising her head to look at the night sky outside the window.

In the night sky, a waxing gibbous moon was hidden among the silvery clouds.

The stars had already disappeared without a trace.

The faint moonlight of the crescent moon appeared particularly bright, illuminating the sky in a pale silver color.

A white figure could be seen streaking across the night sky, silently.

Chu Zhiyuan, dressed in white, came through the air.

Li Yuzhen's eyes were sharp, and she immediately recognized Chu Zhiyuan's figure. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "Your Highness, it's the驸马爺 (Imperial Son-in-Law)."

Li Miaotan paused, "Him?"

Li Yuzhen nodded quickly, "The 驸马爺 is coming over immediately."

Li Miaotan snorted, "What do you mean by this?"

"Then, shall we meet with the 驸马爺?" Li Yuzhen suggested, "And also talk about the matters of the extraterritorial battlefield."

Li Miaotan waved her hand, "Stop being long-winded. I know what to do… Just pretend I wasn't here!"

With that, she vanished from the room in a flash.

Chu Zhiyuan gracefully swooped down, entered through the window, and landed in front of Li Yuzhen.

His gaze swept across the room.

Inside the spacious private room, there were two sets of bowls, chopsticks, and wine cups on the round table.

"驸马爺," Li Yuzhen greeted with a fist salute.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Where is your Highness?"

Li Yuzhen coughed lightly and asked, "Did 驸马爺 see Her Highness?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The person who was disguised just now was her, right?"

Li Yuzhen solemnly nodded, "It was indeed Her Highness in disguise. I hope 驸马爺 will keep it a secret."

"You came out of the residence secretly?" Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her sideways.

Li Yuzhen looked back at him solemnly and calmly, "This subordinate has reported to Girl Youlan."

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Does Aunt Youlan know that you came to see your Highness?"

"Of course, I didn't mention Her Highness," Li Yuzhen said frankly.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "She was just here, why did she suddenly hide? Is it because she has a guilty conscience or…"

"驸马爺!" Li Yuzhen quickly interrupted him, not allowing him to continue speaking, otherwise, Her Highness would explode.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "We are already husband and wife, is there any need to be shy?"

He never thought that he could get along peacefully with the Twelfth Princess, let alone love each other.

They were originally from opposing countries, his status as a hostage, his terrible reputation, and the Twelfth Princess's extremely arrogant nature.

Many factors combined doomed the two to be husband and wife in name only, estranged or even like enemies.

It was just a title.

Moreover, the Phoenix Dynasty was different from the Jade Scenery Dynasty, and women had a higher status.

Especially the princesses, each of them was extremely noble.

The Imperial Son-in-Law was the weaker party.

As an Imperial Son-in-Law, he would definitely have excellent food and clothing, and his status would be noble, but his power was infinitely small.

In addition, he was still a hostage.

Just thinking about it, he would definitely be extremely useless and in a precarious situation.

He had already calmed down and didn't want to think about anything else, just wanted to cultivate.

It was good to be able to hide and cultivate in peace. With the Karma Stone Tablet, he was no less than cultivating at the Great Bright Peak. It was good to hide in the Imperial Son-in-Law's mansion to cultivate.

The premise was that he could hide in peace and not be disturbed.

Having arrived at the Phoenix Dynasty, the Twelfth Princess was the big tree protecting him.

She was considered a sugar daddy.

So, it was best not to offend her. Maintaining a good relationship was also beneficial to peace and quiet.

Otherwise, without her protection, he didn't know how much trouble awaited him.

As for falling in love with the Twelfth Princess, he had never thought about it.

He knew that he might not even have the chance to consummate the marriage with the princess. Being married was almost the same as not being married.

He comforted himself that this might not be a bad thing, and he didn't have to be entangled in grievances.

However, it had to be said that the Twelfth Princess was quite good to him.

She sent medicine, guards, and messages reminding him from time to time.

Although she might have ulterior motives, the fact was that she was better than his brothers and father.

So far, apart from Aunt Youlan and Consort Hui, Chu Zhen, Chu Qiao, and Chu Honglin, she was the best to him among the remaining people.

This had to be said to be a great irony and sadness.

He still remembered this kindness and was prepared to repay it in the future.

"驸马爺, of course, I'm not shy!" Li Yuzhen chided, "It's just that the time hasn't come yet."

"When will the time be right?" Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously.

Li Yuzhen said, "In our Phoenix Dynasty, women cannot see men without permission."

Chu Zhiyuan widened his eyes, "Really? Isn't the atmosphere in your Phoenix Dynasty more open and forthright? There's actually such a rule?"

"This is custom," Li Yuzhen huffed, "And 驸马爺, the women in our Phoenix Dynasty have a high status, but it's not chaotic. On the contrary, they are more pure and self-loving than the women in your Jade Scenery Dynasty!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Since she can't see the man, then why did she come here…"

"Of course, she has something to do," Li Yuzhen huffed, "驸马爺, has the errand been completed? Are you going out again?"

"I won't be going out again for the time being," Chu Zhiyuan said, "A blessed land is about to open, and I'm going to enter it."

He was uncontrollably excited at the thought of entering the blessed land.

Entering the blessed land, encountering demons, subduing demons and refining them, thereby increasing the power of the soul.

With the increase in soul power, the mental power will be stronger, and the speed of cultivation will be faster.

He was already at the seventh level. Could he step into the ninth level before the wedding?

If he could step into the Transformation God Realm and become a Venerable before the wedding, then he could truly reverse the predicament.

If he could really do this, would he still enter the Phoenix Dynasty?

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly glanced at the opposite window, "The show is about to begin, open the window and take a look."

"Yes."

Li Yuzhen got up, walked with her slender legs to the other window, and pushed it open.

Outside the window, one could see the high platform in the center of the courtyard. A group of women stood on the circular high platform, holding swords.

They were wearing a layer of black gauze, wearing black gauze scarves, and only their snow-white foreheads and bright eyes were exposed.

Holding a snow-bright and flawless long sword in their jade hands, they stood neatly, their bright eyes solemn.

Behind the high platform was a Xuan case, and a white-clothed woman with a black gauze covering her face sat in front of the case, her slender jade fingers resting motionless on the strings of the zither.

Chu Zhiyuan thoughtfully looked at this group of black-纱女子 (black-veiled women) and white-纱女子 (white-veiled women).

The Haoyang Subduing Demon Mirror had already revealed that they possessed demonic powers. Even without using their powers, he could clearly feel the aura of their demonic powers.

Moreover, the demonic power cultivation of these women was not low, and they had all reached the Transformation Intent Realm.

If these twelve black-veiled women and one white-veiled woman were to really make a move, I'm afraid that the guests on this floor would not survive.

The cultivation of the guests in this Qionghua Building was not high. There were not that many Transformation God Realm Venerables.

Even in the Imperial City, there were not that many.

Li Yuzhen summoned a waiter to add a jade cup, and then he filled it with wine.

Chu Zhiyuan took a sip and said, "What exactly did she come here for?"

Li Yuzhen shook her head gently, "This subordinate doesn't know."

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her sideways.

Li Yuzhen said seriously, "驸马爺, I really don't know."

"Tell her to be careful. There's not just one demon race in the blessed land. I encountered three last time.

There may be more."

"Yes!" Li Yuzhen immediately became solemn.

Chu Zhiyuan looked around, took out a seven-colored pearl from his sleeve and handed it over.

Li Yuzhen was stunned.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Give this to her, a Soul Pearl. She can sense the demon race through it."

With the Haoyang Subduing Demon Mirror, he didn't need them anymore.

Giving Li Miaotan one could be considered returning a favor.

More importantly, based on Li Miaotan's nature, he would definitely get a greater return.
