Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 184 Wang Xuyi

"Reward, reward?" Nangong Huaxue stared stupidly at Wang Ji's face that came close to her, her cheeks hot, and she was a little confused for a moment.

Wang Ji's face is really good-looking, with soft but not delicate features. Now with his crow-feather-like eyelashes drooping, under the gaze of his dark and sparkling eyes, there is always an illusion of deep affection.

Nangong Huaxue looked at Wang Ji's face and couldn't help laughing. She quickly covered her face to try to hide her sudden creepy laughter.

Wang Ji raised an eyebrow and looked at the emperor who suddenly covered his face and laughed, and for a moment he wondered if she had a mental problem.

"Is there anything so funny?" Wang Ji looked displeased.

"No, nothing." Nangong Huaxue's eyes were smiling into crescents, and she reached out and pinched his face, "Look at you, you look pretty."

Wang Ji was stunned. He had not expected such an answer at all, so he just let her pinch the soft flesh on his face.

"So, what is your majesty's answer?" Wang Ji held her wrist and refused to give in.

"...What do you want?" Nangong Huaxue saw that the topic was brought back, and she let go of his hand with a sneer, and the smile on her face gradually faded, "Treasure, spiritual plant?"

"I don't lack these, Your Majesty should know that." Wang Ji gently lifted her chin, his eyes deep, "What exactly do I want..."

“……”Nangong Huaxue looked away and said nothing.

Wang Ji saw her like this, and a bit of anger appeared in his eyes. He tightened his grip on her wrist and said, "Why, Your Majesty, what are you worried about? Can you tell me?"

Nangong Huaxue lowered his head, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head without saying anything.

Wang Ji's heart suddenly burst into flames, burning him with anxiety. He closed his eyes, let go of her hand, and said in a much lighter tone, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to, then that's fine."

Nangong Huaxue's eyes moved slightly and she slowly looked at him.

Wang Ji turned his head to avoid her gaze: "The king has given an order, and the minister shall obey it."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue's head started to hurt again.

It starts again...

In fact, Nangong Huaxue was not very resistant to doing that kind of thing with him, but perhaps it was because of her experiences in her previous life that left a shadow on her.

She would unconsciously feel scared when facing this matter, and coupled with Wang Ji's strong personality, he would always give her an irresistible sense of aggression when guiding her, and this suffocating feeling made her fearful and uneasy. So she was always afraid of this matter.

Nangong Huaxue rubbed his temples, held his hand, and tried to comfort him: "Don't always be like this..."

"How is your subject?" Wang Ji turned his head to look at her, his eyes like torches, "Your Majesty, do you think I am being unreasonable?"

Nangong Huaxue: ...

There is a little bit...

Although Nangong Huaxue didn't say anything, Wang Ji understood what she meant from her expression. He sneered for a moment and turned around to leave.

"Eh eh eh——"

Nangong Huaxue grabbed him and smiled, "Leaving so early? You've been here for less than ten minutes."

Wang Ji didn't say anything, still turning his head away to prevent her from seeing his expression at the moment.

"Don't be angry." Nangong Huaxue gently stroked his hand and said kindly, "Did you hear what happened today?"

"..."

Nangong Huaxue didn't get angry when she didn't hear his answer. She continued to speak softly to herself, "Pei Zhixing has really hit the wall this time. Qin Xiuyun has a soft personality and has been avoiding conflicts with the Pei family over the years, which has led to the Pei family's continued encroachment. Now that his son has such a tough attitude, what do you think Pei Zhixing will do?"

Listening to the steps given by the emperor, Wang Ji glanced at her, closed his eyes, and sighed: "Your Majesty is well-informed."

"This matter has spread." Nangong Huaxue smiled, "Even if I didn't tell you, you would definitely know it. Let alone the reputation of the Pei family, just the gossip from the past few years is enough to attract attention now."

Wang Ji seemed to have thought of something and sneered: "That kid didn't say anything wrong. The Pei family has been arrogant for a long time."

Nangong Huaxue saw that his attitude had softened, so she fell into his arms with relief, adjusted a comfortable angle, and looked up at him eagerly: "By the way, I remember you mentioned that kid before... What do you think of him?"

"Intelligent and forthright."

Unexpectedly, Wang Ji spoke highly of Qin Xiao: "He is a genius who is even better than Qin Jichen."

"You think so highly of him?" Nangong Huaxue was a little surprised and rolled her eyes, "But it doesn't mean that he has a cave--"

"That's not it." Wang Ji shook his head, lowered his eyes to look at the small round cheek in his hand, and rubbed it unconsciously with his fingers, "I have confirmed it."

"Really..." Nangong Huaxue felt relieved when she heard this. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, tilted her head slightly, and buried her cheek in his palm.

Wang Ji stared at the docile woman in his arms, wondering what he was thinking, and suddenly asked, "How is your Majesty's cultivation these days?"

When Nangong Huaxue heard this, her body stiffened and she buried her head in his arms guiltily.

Wang Ji narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, and held her chin up to look at her directly: "Your Majesty——?"

Wang Ji stretched out his voice, and although his tone was still gentle, Nangong Huaxue could still hear a hint of chill in it.

"I, I am working hard on my training." Nangong Huaxue rolled out of his arms and raised her arms to prove herself. "I am almost at the intermediate level and will catch up with you soon."

Wang Ji didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just looked at her meaningfully for a while, smiled and shook his head, without saying anything.

Speaking of this, Nangong Huaxue thought of something and asked, "By the way, when will you advance to the Heaven Realm?"

Wang Ji was startled and a little surprised, but soon calmed down: "Your Majesty cares so much?"

"Is there anything else that has not been prepared?" asked Nangong Huaxue.

Wang Ji looked into her concerned eyes, his eyes moving slightly.

After a moment, he smiled and sighed: "Yes, there are still some things that are not ready."

"What?" Nangong Huaxue asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, are you so concerned because you are afraid that I will succeed in advancing?" Wang Ji did not say it directly, but smiled and said in a roundabout way.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue took a deep breath.

She really could understand why Xiao didn't like Wang Ji.

"I'm talking to you seriously." Nangong Huaxue frowned, "You also know that there are countless people who have failed in the Earth Realm to Heaven Realm in recent years, and you have not yet made a breakthrough. Of course I care about you."

Wang Ji's eyes trembled slightly when he heard this, and he seemed to be relieved.

But soon, his eyes returned to calm and his tone remained the same.

"That's really my blessing." Wang Ji smiled, and looked at her for a long time before speaking again, "I lack a drop of magic beast's blood."

"Hmm?" Nangong Huaxue was surprised. "Are there any special requests?"

Otherwise, with the Wang family’s financial resources, it would be impossible for them to not even find a demon beast.

"It is a bit troublesome..." Wang Ji said this, his eyes half lowered, observing her expression in a subtle way, "It requires a magical beast that has lived for at least a million years, and it must be willing to be offered up in a healthy and strong body and with a good spirit."

Wang Ji said, rubbing his brows: "The latter can be discussed, mainly the million-year-old monsters."

Nangong Huaxue couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this.

The lifespan of the magic beasts in this world is much shorter than that of the spirit beasts in the previous life. Generally speaking, living for ten thousand years is the limit. This million years...

Nangong Huaxue looked embarrassed.

She had never heard of a magical beast that could live for a million years. She had read in a book before that among the magical beasts that had been discovered, the longest had only lived for more than 500,000 years, and they were encountered in the deep sea of ​​the other ocean.

"What do you want to do with this essence and blood?" asked Nangong Huaxue.

"... Strengthen your tendons and blood, so as not to become a useless person after failure." Wang Ji's eyes were deep, and he chuckled, "We can't leave no way out at all."

“Oh…” Nangong Huaxue nodded thoughtfully, frowning in confusion, “Then you—”

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this." Wang Ji seemed to have seen through her thoughts and smiled, "This is my own business. Your Majesty just needs to concentrate on practicing. If you feel tired, you can go and watch the competition."

"As for the competition..." Nangong Huaxue propped up her chin in boredom, "I heard that Liu Qingfeng lost."

"Yes." Wang Ji lowered his eyes and smiled, "The kid from the Xu family is also a bit dangerous. If he loses another round, he will be eliminated."

"Xu Junyi? That's really surprising." Nangong Huaxue said, "Didn't you draw a good lot?"

"Probably." Wang Ji smiled, and suddenly his eyes changed, slowly looking at the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't you want to ask Bai Shuheng?"

"Bai Shuheng?" Nangong Huaxue was stunned for a moment before she remembered, "I remember he is a Qi cultivator. Why is he participating in the competition?"

"He should still follow the path of Qi cultivation. It's just that the Bai family intends to compete for the limelight in this competition..." Wang Ji said, his voice becoming softer and softer, as if he was hinting at something.

Nangong Huaxue didn't think too much about it, but she thought of something and looked at him: "What about your son? I see he has won several games in a row."

Wang Ji's eyes fixed on her.

Nangong Huaxue didn't understand.

"Your Majesty...how do you know that I have children?" Wang Ji smiled warmly, like a spring breeze.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

It's a slip of the tongue.

Nangong Huaxue coughed twice, rolled his eyes, and snorted, "The whole world belongs to the king. I can find out whatever I want to know. Your child will certainly not be able to hide from my eyes and ears."

Wang Ji saw her pretending to be arrogant and laughed: "I thought you hid it well."

“Hehe…” Nangong Huaxue smiled proudly, then stopped smiling, “So what do you think of him?”

"Although he won, the monster was injured in the last game, which seemed to have given him some shock. He will not pursue the path of a demon tamer in the future." Wang Ji's smile faded a little when he talked about this. "This is also good."

"What state is he in now?"

"Middle level of Xuan realm." Wang Ji shook his head. "He started practicing late, so it's not bad for him to reach this level."

"Oh..." Nangong Huaxue nodded and said nothing more.

Wang Ji's eyes turned slightly, and he came closer with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you mind?"

"What do you mind?" Nangong Huaxue asked puzzledly.

Wang Ji stared at her for a while with a dark look in his eyes, but turned his head away: "Nothing."

Nangong Huaxue:?

Seeing that Nangong Huaxue was puzzled, Wang Ji didn't say much. He changed the subject and started talking to her about other things.

It was not until Wang Ji left that Nangong Huaxue realized that he was asking her if she minded his son.

Nangong Huaxue shook her head in amusement, took the huge queen bee from the secret guard's hand, looked around, and exclaimed: "Is this the... Guna Queen Bee?"

Nangong Huaxue met Xiao Mi's confused eyes and raised his eyebrows.

This little thing is like a plush toy, covered with fur. It doesn't react when its wings are touched. If Nangong Huaxue hadn't seen it slowly retract its feet, he would have really doubted its life or death.

The secret guard presented the sealed letters without saying a word. Nangong Huaxue took them and read the entire text at a glance.

"There are so many things I need to pay attention to when raising you." Nangong Huaxue smiled and nodded Xiao Mi's head, gently letting go. Xiao Mi flapped its wings and flew behind her, stretching its feet and landing on her back.

Nangong Huaxue just felt a little itchy, but ignored it and turned to look at the secret guard: "Did he say anything to you?"

The secret guard shook his head.

Nangong Huaxue waved his hand and let him go.

……

"Who do you say you are?" Qin Xiao's eyes sharpened and he looked straight at the young man in front of him.

"I, I said my name is Wang Xuyi, what's wrong?" The boy was startled and asked in confusion.

"Who did you say your father is?" Qin Xiao frowned.

"My father... Wang Ji." The boy didn't understand why he suddenly looked at him like that.

Mo Hanyu pulled Qin Xiao and shook his head gently, signaling him to calm down, then smiled at the boy and said, "I'm sorry, he was just a little surprised. Thank you for your help."

"Oh, nothing." Seeing him like this, the young man smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Mo Hanyu looked at the sky and invited him: "It's getting late, and we are also going to have dinner, why don't we go together?"

"Eh? Fang, is it convenient?" Wang Xuyi was surprised and seemed a little at a loss.

Seeing him like this, Mo Hanyu's eyes deepened slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Of course." As he said that, he also poked Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao glanced at him, his expression slightly relieved: "I don't care."

"After all, you just helped us out. It's normal to treat you to a meal as a thank you, right?" Mo Hanyu said with a smile.

It was more than just a rescue. If Wang Xuyi had acted a moment later, Qin Xiao would have killed someone.

Mo Hanyu thought about it and felt a little scared.

Because of Pei Zhixing's incident, Mo Hanyu thought that Qin Xiao was in a bad mood, so he asked him to come out to relax and calm down.

In order to avoid any more accidents, he specially chose a sparsely populated place like the riverside for a walk, but he didn't expect that Yu Yunhao had nothing better to do and came here, and they happened to meet each other.

After they met, the guy was irritable and rude, and he insulted Qin Xiao's mother again. After being stared at by Qin Xiao, he even wanted to attack.

The moment Yu Yunhao made his move, the murderous intent emanating from Qin Xiao made Mo Hanyu tremble with fear, as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The sharp and cold aura even made him dare not look directly at it.

Fortunately, before Qin Xiao made his move, Yu Yunhao was stopped by a spear.

"Article 32 of Chapter 12 of the Yuhua National Law stipulates that those who enter Luoyun are strictly prohibited from private fighting or provoking trouble in the streets. If anyone violates the rules, he will be imprisoned for seven days and fined three hundred silver coins."

The young man held a spear and after a brief fight with Yu Yunhao, he retreated several meters, stood firm and spoke sternly.

"Who are you? You are actually planning to attack a child. Do you have any shame?!" The young man's voice was clear, but full of hostility, as if he was mad.

"What does it have to do with you?" Yu Yunhao wanted to pester him again, but the young man seemed to have lost his patience and shouted coldly.

"I have recorded everything that happened just now with the photo stone. If you continue to pester me, I will report you to the Punishment Bureau and let them talk to you!"

The young man had an upright posture, an unusually straight spine, and a sonorous and powerful voice, which immediately stopped Yu Yunhao from saying anything else.

Although Yu Yunhao was unwilling, he could only leave in shame.

Mo Hanyu thought about this and glanced at Qin Xiao secretly, wanting to see what Qin Xiao's emotions were, but he only saw that the thick bangs covered Qin Xiao's eyes, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

"Well, I feel so sorry to let you two kids treat me." Wang Xuyi touched his head and smiled, "Forget it, I'll treat you."

"How can this be good——"

"Okay."

Mo Hanyu was about to refuse, but Qin Xiao nodded, his expression normal.

"Thank you." Facing Mo Hanyu's surprised gaze, Qin Xiao looked straight ahead and nodded at Wang Xuyi.

"It's okay." Seeing that he agreed, Wang Xuyi threw the spear onto his shoulder and waved his hand, "Then come with me. I know a delicious restaurant."
