Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 177 Return to the Palace

It was early winter in a blink of an eye.

After the turmoil outside the city ended, people around Zhuoyan City returned one after another, slowly restoring the previous order.

Zuo Lingquan and others stayed temporarily in Zhuoyan Sect's small blessed place. With Shangguan Lingye's identity, Zhuoyan Sect did not dare to neglect and gave up the entire hot spring lake to Shangguan Lingye to recover from his injuries.

Shangguan Lingye's meridians and energy were injured by the shock. There was no abnormality on the outside, but it would take a lot of time to recover as before.

During these days, Zuo Lingquan did not disturb Shangguan Lingye again, and practiced his spells carefully to prepare for the war for the Nine Sects Alliance.

Shangguan Lingye didn't teach many spells. Apart from the 'Rain-seeking Technique' and 'Mist Transformation Technique', which are essential small spells for water-based monks, he only taught two powerful moves.

One is the 'Flying Frost Technique', which is equivalent to the 'Fire Ring Technique' in the water method, but the flames become ice thorns, which break through the ground and stab the surrounding enemies. The range and power depend on one's own cultivation. It is said that the strong can Thousands of miles of ice has the same disadvantage as the ring of fire, it only works on targets on the ground.

Another one is the signature skill of the Iron Arrow Mansion, 'Greedy Wolf'; Greedy Wolf symbolizes powerful rule. This technique was created by the ancestors of Shangguan. It is considered the pinnacle of imperial object art. Thousands. The ancestor of Shangguan condensed a metal Flood Dragon over Qihuang Valley, using this technique; Zuo Lingquan is definitely not as powerful as the ancestor, but as long as he learns it, the effect is also not small.

As for the realm, Zuo Lingquan has already reached the sixth level of Linggu, and it is a bit urgent to rush to the seventh level, so apart from practicing spells, he did not improve his realm in his spare time, but helped Qingwan practice.

As for how to cultivate, it is self-explanatory.

However, it is obviously impossible to repair Wanwan for two months at a time. He and Wanwan can bear it, and the house can't bear it either.

After all, Qingwan didn't officially confirm the relationship, and she still had to act like a teacher, especially when Shangguan Lingye and Tang Jingxun were in front of her, she didn't dare to let go. Every time she practiced, she had to ensure safety before starting, and Zuo Lingquan was given a time limit , the two of them can't be missing for too long, lest Tang Jingxun think wrongly.

Apart from practicing, Qing Wan studied at the Burning Mist Sect, learned some wind, wood and thunder techniques, and the basic knowledge of refining weapons.

Ever since she learned that the instigator of the tiankeng was her second uncle Wu Zunyi, Wu Qingwan felt a sense of frustration in her heart of 'disgrace to the Wu family'.

After all, even the second uncle dared to fight with the eight masters, but she could only be pressed and licked by the juniors. If she didn't learn some skills on her, she wouldn't have the nerve to recognize her relatives in the future.

But refining weapons is more difficult than practicing. They are all piled up with natural materials and earth treasures, and they are very talented. Wu Qingwan didn't have a chance to get in contact with it in Phoenix Phoenix Valley before, but now even with the support of Tiancaidibao, after two months, she still hasn't made a qualified Law Weapon.

The only thing that can be used is probably a glowing white tail, but Zuo Lingquan encouraged her to make it. She knew it was not a good thing, so she didn't dare to take it out.

Tang Jingxun was rather boring during this time. Eating, sleeping, and playing in groups are all about cultivation, so you don’t need to bother yourself. After two months, you will reach the sixth level of Linggu without knowing it. If there is no accident, you will soon overtake Zuo Lingquan. Shangguan Lingye, who is so talented, will do it ashamed.

Maybe it was too easy to get, but Tang Jingxun herself didn't feel anything special, and she was most concerned about her relationship with Zuo Lingquan.

Because he was worried about attracting Shangguan Patriarch again, Shangguan Lingye discovered that Zuo Lingquan was very honest these days. Apart from holding hands and talking about love, he did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Tang Jingxun was actually not greedy, but by not bullying her when it was time to bully her, it was depriving her of the right to be bullied.

With Tang Jingxun's character of never forgetting to hold his money box even in the sea of ​​fire, he suffered a loss if he didn't come when he was supposed to. This resentment was naturally vented on the Shangguan Patriarch, and he secretly taunted the Shangguan Patriarch in the room for half an hour every day.

The Shangguan Patriarch may have become autistic and never responded to Tang Jingxun.

The sun rises and sets, and time flies by to mid-October.

After Shangguan Lingye had almost recovered, he took the boat and took the three of them on their way back.

The ship belonged to Shangguan Lingye, so he naturally didn't care about the fairy money that drove the ship. He set sail at full speed and returned to Dayanjing City in about two days.

There was only one compartment in the boat, where Shangguan Lingye replenished his spiritual energy and healed his injuries, while Tang Jingxuan and Wu Qingwan stayed in the cabin.

Although the cabin was large enough to accommodate three people, with Shangguan Lingye in front of him, it was not easy for Zuo Lingquan to get together, so he sat alone on the bow of the deck and meditated.

It's early winter, the earth is a little more desolate, and the sky is even more cold and windy.

Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, the round dumpling squatting between his legs in a daze. The wind in the sky was very noisy, and the white fluff on the dumpling's head was blown to one side.

The reason why Tuanzi didn't go back to the cabin was because Shangguan Lingye was around these days, and Xiao Yugan came at all times. He fed him too much and gained a lot of New Year fat. He was disliked by Tang Jingxuan and was a little unhappy.

The journey was very boring. One person and one bird just sat outside in silence. I don’t know how long it took before Tuanzi became more energetic. He looked at the sea of ​​clouds in front of him, raised his little wings and pointed:

"Jiji~"

Zuo Lingquan calmed down, opened his eyes, and glanced ahead - at the end of his field of vision, there was a Xianjia ferry sailing among the sea of ​​clouds. The ship was very large, and there were many people walking back and forth in the corridor, with peach blossom marks on it.

The Huafang took the channel opened by the Moon-covering Forest, and it was very fast. It was not unusual for it to catch up with other ferries from behind.

Zuo Lingquan glanced briefly and recognized from the sect's emblem that it was the ferry boat from Taohuatan, one of the nine sects. He thought he was going to participate in the nine sects' alliance.

The painted boat was concealed by a blinding method, and it was difficult to detect it when it was flying far away in the air. The disciples of the sect on the other side's ferry did not notice the painted boat.

Zuo Lingquan quickly caught up with the ferry from behind, with a distance of one mile between them.

Zuo Lingquan heard from Grandma Shangguan that the relationship between Lord Peach Blossom and Ancestor Shangguan was not good, so he naturally wanted to see what was going on on the ship. Unfortunately, the other party's ship also had a concealment formation, so he could only see the blurry outlines of the people on the ship, but not the others. Can see anything.

The two sides passed each other quickly, Zuo Lingquan withdrew his gaze, rubbed the dumplings that were still looking back at him, and prepared to continue meditating.

In the cabin behind, they seemed to have noticed some movement. The cabin door opened, and Wu Qingwan, in a white dress like snow, came out and looked back a few times:

"A ship just passed by?"

"Yes, it seems to be the boat in Peach Blossom Pond."

"oh……"

Wu Qingwan looked away and did not return to the cabin. Instead, she walked to Zuo Lingquan and sat down. She pursed her lips and hesitated to speak.

Tuanzi still liked the soft place, so when he saw this, he jumped onto Wu Qingwan's large breasts and let out a "chie~" in pleasure.

Zuo Lingquan saw Wu Qingwan's face and knew that she had something to say, so he asked:

"What's wrong?"

Wu Qingwan twitched the hair beside her ears, thought for a while, and then said:

"When you get back, you and Jiang Yi should get married. Don't delay it any longer. The whole family, except Jiang Yi, won't know about your relationship with me."

There are only five people in the family. In fact, now there is only Jiang Yi as master and servant. I don’t know about my aunt’s preemptive attack.

Zuo Lingquan nodded at this proposal and said:

"I will stay in the capital for a longer time this time. I will go back and discuss it with Jiang Yi. She promises me to arrange the marriage as soon as possible."

Wu Qingwan nodded slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed softly:

"You two are finally married, and things can be talked about. Then I won't have to pretend to be a teacher or aunt, and I can be tougher in front of Jingxun. Otherwise, Jingxun will talk about "Qingwan girl" now, and I will be embarrassed to talk back. "Obviously I was the one who did it first. Even if I accept Jiang Yi as my sister, even if I pay off my debt, no matter what I do, I'm the youngest..."

Zuo Lingquan was a little funny: "Wanwan is the biggest one in my eyes."

"Um?"

Wu Qingwan blinked, thinking that there was something else in the words, she frowned and said:

"What's the biggest?"

Tuanzi was very communicative and rubbed his head on the big pillow:

"Ji~"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan couldn't help but laugh. Before he could laugh out loud, Wu Qingwan pinched his waist severely. He gasped in pain and said quickly:

"There is no big or small, they are all the same size. I am second to last and Tuanzi is the smallest."

Wu Qingwan was too lazy to answer these nonsense anymore, stuffed the dumplings back into Zuo Lingquan's arms, got up and walked into the cabin...

——

The Nine Sects Alliance is equivalent to the imperial examination for the young monks of the entire Nine Sects. The elders of the Nine Sects start to select candidates during the winter solstice. The competition among the monks has already started last year.

As the date of the winter solstice approaches, all the monks who are here to watch the fun have arrived. Even if only a very small number of people come over half of Yuyaozhou, it is hard to count them all together.

Although the location is in the Iron River Valley, Linyuan City hundreds of miles away is already overcrowded, as are the surrounding counties and counties. It can be said that there are more cultivators on the streets than ordinary people.

The Dayan Dynasty was only a dynasty within the Nine Sects. For the Dayan Court, most of these monks came from outside the country, and they had no idea of ​​their identity, background, moral character, and the security pressure was extremely high.

Tieyong Mansion is nearby, and Lord Linyuan is keeping control of it. No monk dares to cause big troubles, but there are countless trivial things.

As the acting head of the Demon Hunting Department, Jiang Yi had a headache these days and was almost losing her temper due to the extraordinary cases.

For example, a monk had a mortal heart and went to spend the night in a secular brothel. Afterwards, he threw ten white jade bahts away in the wind. As a result, the brothel madam did not recognize him and regarded him as a prostitute for free.

There is also the Immortal Realm monk who went to a fortune teller to tell his fortune on a whim. The fortune teller said that he could live to be eighty years old, but he was already one hundred and sixty. So the newspaper official said that the fortune teller was fooling the people to cheat money.

Especially recently, when the Nine Sects Alliance and monks gathered around Linyuan City, the chance of something strange happening in the vast crowd was too high, and there were even immortals being jumped by immortals.

They were all trivial matters in the first place, but the case files involving mortals in the Monster Hunting Department must be reviewed by the Crown Princess.

Jiang Yi looked at these messy things and felt numb.

It was already dark, and the withered leaves and sparse people in the Dowager Palace were filled with a touch of loneliness.

In the Tianji Hall, Jiang Yi, who had finished her business, walked towards Canyang Pond with her fattened white cat in her arms. She let out a long sigh and looked tired.

Leng Zhu was already a little wilted from the boil, and he walked beside him listlessly, feeding the dried fish to Ah Mao, and said brokenly:

"Princess, we won't stay here forever, right?"

"No, the concubine should be back in a few days."

"The princess has said this many times. A few days later, it has been more than two months. For the sake of convenience, the people of the Demon Hunting Department have privately called the princess 'Three Saints'..."

Jiang Yi's eyes were also helpless: "The Queen Mother gave me the opportunity because she trusted me and cherished it. Furthermore, what can I do? I can't just give up. How can we practice in Canyang Pool if we give up our choice? "

Leng Zhu also knew that there is no free bath in the world, so he stopped complaining and followed Jiang Yi outside the dormitory.

Shangguan Lingye had been able to stay awake for a long time. In the past, during his free time, he would take a nap in the main hall and never went back to the dormitory to sleep. During this period, Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu stayed together and slept on the phoenix bed a few times.

The Canyang Pool is on the side of the dormitory. It looks like a large-scale bathing pool. The pillars on the outside of the palace are decorated with exquisite mantras. The water inside is filled with mist. The pool is made of white jade, with a faint glow at the bottom. With the rose-red light, you can feel a rush of heat just standing by the pool.

Canyang Pond has the effect of removing impurities from the body and improving the physical condition. It is the best place for monks to practice in the Qi Refining Realm. It is suitable for monks like Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu who are not very good at their level.

Jiang Yi put the white cat on the ground and let it play by itself, then entered the empty Can Yang Pond. Her red dress slipped off, revealing the carp among flowers and brocade thin pants.

Leng Zhu also took off her palace skirt, revealing her slender figure. He stood behind him and helped Jiang Yi untie the bellyband. After folding the clothes and putting them in the tray, Jiang Yi had already plunged into the pool. , start backstroke.

Two bulging jade mountains floated over the water...

"..."

Leng Zhu lowered his head and glanced at his chest, with a hint of envy in his eyes. He stood by the pool, holding his nose, ready to jump in and wash with him, when suddenly a voice came from outside:

"Meow~"

After finishing their busy work, the maids went to rest separately. Shangguan Lingye did not need anyone to wait on him in the past, and there was no one around the bedroom.

Jiang Yi emerged from the water and looked outside in confusion:

"Why did the cat come back? Is there something you want to see me for?"

"I gonna go see."

Seeing this, Leng Zhu stopped jumping in, picked up his clothes and walked towards the outside of the bath.

But as soon as she turned around the screen and before she could put her bellyband over her head, her body bumped into the arms of a very tall person...

! ! ——

A little earlier.

After a long journey, the painting boat finally arrived at Linyuan City and slowly descended in the Dowager Palace. Because it was dark at night, there was no maid to greet him in the square outside the main hall.

The four of them got off the boat together. Wu Qingwan didn't want to ruin Jiang Yi's long-awaited reunion, so she said:

"You go pick up Jiang Yi, Jingxun and I will go back first."

Tang Jingxuan took Tuanzi, who didn't recognize his mother, back from Shangguan Lingye's shoulders, and went out of the palace with Wu Qingwan first.

His home is just outside the city wall, only a few steps away. After Zuo Lingquan watched the two people go away, he looked at Shangguan Lingye next to him:

"Senior, where is Jiang Yi?"

"At Canyang Pond, I'll ask Li Nu to take you there."

After two months of training, Shangguan Lingye's body has mostly recovered, and his expression is as dignified as usual, just like a noble concubine returning from a trip, leading her guards to the main hall. The golden slim-fitting phoenix skirt outlines the waistline and hip line, and the steps are graceful and swaying.

Zuo Lingquan followed, not wanting to stare at Shangguan Lingye's sexy waist and hips. He raised his eyes and looked at the roof of the main hall - there were only a few auspicious beast statues on the top of the palace under the moonlight, but on the roof, there seemed to be On a small table, a man and a woman were sitting, drinking and talking.

Shangguan Lingye also looked up, involuntarily slowed down his steps, tilted his head and said;

"want to drink?"

Zuo Lingquan smiled: "If you want to drink, you can call me anytime, but I just came back today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to drink."

"A little separation is better than a new marriage, I understand."

Shangguan Lingye walked up the white stone steps, looked at the empty main hall, and said:

"I have nothing to do every night. You can come over anytime. Chatting with you is very interesting. It is more interesting than being alone."

Well……

Although Zuo Lingquan didn't pay much attention to etiquette, he wasn't particularly presumptuous either. He turned to look at Dayan Imperial City not far away and asked:

"I'm a man, and I run to the empress's bedroom every night, will I let the court..."

Shangguan Lingye stopped and turned to face Zuo Lingquan, his eyes were clear and majestic:

"Apart from drinking, what else do you want to do to Bengong?"

Zuo Lingquan cupped his hands and saluted: "Just drink, how can this junior have any unreasonable thoughts."

"Then it's all right, the Qing Dynasty is self-clearing, are you worried that the Dayan royal family will suspect that you stole their grandma?"

"Uh... I don't dare, this junior."

"Hmph~"

Shangguan Lingye didn't tease Zuo Lingquan anymore, he raised his hand, and the white cat ran over from the thousand-step corridor, and squatted obediently in front of him.

"Junior, please take your leave first."

"Go ahead."

Shangguan Lingye turned around and entered the main hall.

After Zuo Lingquan bowed his hands and said goodbye, he followed the white cat through the corridor and aisle, and arrived near the sleeping hall.

At night, all the lights around the sleeping hall were turned off, only the Canyang Pond was still brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of "哗啦啦——".

?

Zuo Lingquan was going to give Jiang Yi a surprise, but Jiang Yi unexpectedly gave him a surprise too.

His steps subconsciously slowed down and he came to the steps outside Canyang Pond. The white cat barked, wanting to remind the two women inside, so he quickly "shushed".

The white cat is very smart, so he didn't bother Zuo Lingquan, turned around and went to find his master.

"I gonna go see……"

There were small words coming from the palace.

Zuo Lingquan opened the door silently and entered the large steaming bathtub. He was about to take a peek, but he didn't expect to see a girl turning around the screen and covering her face with her gloves.

It was very hot in Canyang Pond, and the white mist covered the view, but it was still so close that it could be seen clearly.

When Zuo Lingquan was in a daze, Leng Zhu crashed into his arms, making a soft muffled sound.

Leng Zhu froze in place for a moment.

Zuo Lingquan looked down and didn't know whether to hug him or retreat, but in the end he didn't move at all.

Leng Zhu did not yell in panic as he expected, but instead pulled down his bellyband and took a look.

After discovering that the consort in front of him was longing for him, Leng Zhu's face quickly turned red. He bit his lower lip in embarrassment, silently covered the parts that should not be seen with his hands, squatted down, and He hugged him tightly and looked down at the ground.

Jiang Yi's hearing was not bad and she obviously noticed the movement behind the screen. She hurriedly got into the water and looked at the screen with a frown:

"Leng Zhu, what's wrong?"

"No...nothing..."

Leng Zhu's heart was like a deer, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't breathe, but he didn't dare to have any good intentions towards Zuo Lingquan, so he could only mutter something to hide it.

Jiang Yi knew what happened after hearing this shy tone, her face changed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment:

"Zuo Lingquan?!"

Zuo Lingquan took out a robe, knelt down and put it on Leng Zhu, and said with a smile:

"How did the princess know it was me?"

"Ah~! You... Gulu Gulu..."

Jiang Yi jumped directly into the bottom of the pool. She didn't know what she was talking about, but her tone was quite intense anyway.

Leng Zhu stood up wrapped in his robe, his face was as red as blood, and he didn't dare to look at Zuo Lingquan. He was afraid of being punished by Jiang Yi, so he pretended to be a loyal maid and said, "Prince-in-law, the princess is taking a bath, don't come in." , then ran back to the screen and handed the skirt to Jiang Yi...

I just turned day and night upside down and wrote this chapter. It’s not very good. I originally wanted to post it tomorrow, but I’ve already asked for leave twice this month, so I posted it anyway. This chapter may have to be refined tomorrow.
