"I admire Teacher Sun very much!"
Jiang Yuzhen magnanimously expressed her good impression of Sun Mo. "If Great Teacher Sun doesn't mind, I wish to interact more with Great Teacher Sun!"
The young geniuses present instantly revealed expressions of envy and jealousy when they heard this.
Jiang Yuzhen was a straightforward person. If she liked someone, she liked them. If she didn't like them, she would say that she hated them. Therefore, after she turned 16, she rejected countless men who chased after her.
Right now, Sun Mo was the first guy she had publicly expressed her feelings for.
If Sun Mo's EQ was higher and he knew how to make women like him, he would most probably become the prince consort of Qi Country.
Many men who became the prince consort were basically vassals of the princess. However, Sun Mo was different. He was brimming with talent and was also a super rising star in the great teacher world. He would definitely be able to obtain authority in the Qi Country.
If this fellow was a little more black-bellied and skilled in palace intrigue, he might even be able to occupy the magpie's nest. From then on, the Qi Kingdom would belong to the Sun family instead of the Jiang family.
Almost instantly, all the officials and nobles of Qi Country made up their minds to obstruct Sun Mo from becoming the son-in-law of the Qi King.
"This is bad!"
When Li Xiu saw this, she became anxious. She did some calculations and realized that although the Great Tang had princesses of marriageable age, whether it was in terms of beauty, talent, or status, they could not be compared to Jiang Yuzhen.
"I have to think of a way, or Teacher will be tricked away."
Li Ziqi also felt a little anxious.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess!"
Sun Mo tactfully rejected, "It's just that I already have a fiancée!"
No matter how Sun Mo wanted to have many wives in his heart, or even how he slept with women all day long, he had to be a moral model when it came to words.
This was the basic requirement for a master teacher.
"From what I know, An Xinhui is only making use of you, making you work like a cow or a horse for the Central Province Academy. If not, why hasn't she married you yet?"
Jiang Yuzhen asked.
An Xinhui was already 25 years old. Although to great teachers, the age of a woman's marriage could be a little older, at this age, she still had some signs of being a woman of advanced age.
"Honestly speaking, this has nothing to do with An Xinhui. I'm too busy and can't be bothered to talk about love!"
Sun Mo explained.
When the empress heard that Sun Mo had accepted the responsibility, not only did she not feel that he was insensible, but she also felt that he was loyal.
A man who can protect a woman is a good man!
Jiang Yuzhen smiled, liking Sun Mo even more now.
She admired this kind of man who threw his heart and soul into his dreams, because she was the same. She didn't know anything about love. She just wanted a talented son who would inherit the Qi Kingdom in the future.
"Let's talk about this later!"
Great Teacher Su interrupted everyone and stared straight at Sun Mo. "Teacher Sun, what's going on with that Spirit Wave Cannon?"
"Ziqi and I have researched it before and felt that all cultivation arts use spirit qi. The more powerful a cultivation art is, the more it can unleash the greatest prowess with the least amount of spirit qi. As for the Spirit Wave Cannon, it uses spirit runes in place of cultivation arts and directly uses spirit qi as energy!"
Sun Mo didn't keep it to himself and explained generously, "If you want the prowess to be great, then increase the output of the spirit runes!"
Many people were confused, but for people like Grand Tutor Su, these words were enlightening.
"I see!"
Great Tutor Su sighed ruefully and bowed deeply toward Sun Mo. "Many thanks to Teacher Sun and Teacher Li for dispelling my doubts!"
Such an answer was extremely forward-looking and enlightening. Ordinary great teachers wouldn't tell others about it. One could only say that Sun Mo was magnanimous.
"Teacher Su, you are too polite!"
Li Ziqi hurriedly dodged, but the admiration she had for Sun Mo grew even stronger.
This research was clearly the result of her teacher's research, but he was willing to give her his name. This would definitely increase her fame.
This was like publishing a thesis with an impact factor of 5.0. Even if she only had her name on the thesis and was the third author, she would have a great advantage when she was applying for a job, getting a promotion, or getting a raise in salary.
Some high officials and ministers who didn't cultivate didn't understand Sun Mo's words. But when they saw Great Tutor Su bowing to Sun Mo as a disciple, they understood the content of Sun Mo's words.
Xia Taikang and Wei Wuan accepted their fate and no longer argued if Li Ziqi's actions were against the rules. Hence, the Great Tang Empire obtained first place in the first round of the military battle.
Li Xuan's countenance was very pale.
He started to feel jealous of Li Ziqi. Why did she have such an outstanding teacher?
This battle was won purely because of the spirit runes Sun Mo had invented. It had nothing to do with his commanding ability or the combat strength of the soldiers.
If he had that kind of spirit rune, he would be able to win as well.
"Xuan-er, you seem to have a grudge against me?"
Han Cangshui's eyelids drooped as she asked.
"This student doesn't dare to!"
Li Xuan lowered his head, but he was grumbling in his heart.
...
On the day that the military battle ended, the Qi King grabbed Sun Mo.
"Subject Sun, don't reject me this time around. You have to sleep with me on the same floor!"
Sun Mo had no solution and could only agree.
He actually wanted to add, 'Don't you treat me as a brother? Then ask the empress and the other two to sleep together!'
The emperor would usually sleep with his officials to express their closeness. This was a treatment that only important officials would have.
Sun Mo knew that the Qi King coveted his God Hands, Imperial Sky Spirit Rune, and Spirit Wave Cannon. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to waste words and directly gave the Qi King the full package.
"I'm flying! Quickly look, I'm flying! "
The Qi King floated five meters in the air. He was so excited that he was like a 90 kg child, floating around.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
The eunuchs and palace maids were badly frightened. If His Majesty was injured from the fall, everyone would die.
"Subject Sun, is this empress worthy of a flying spirit rune?"
The Qi King's phoenix eyes stared at Sun Mo, exuding an imposing aura.
If this guy dared to reject, she would drag him out and behead him...
Of course, this wouldn't do.
She could only use beauties and money to rope him in.
However, Sun Mo probably didn't lack these things.
"The Empress is a precious princess. I still need Your Majesty's approval first!"
Sun Mo glanced at the voluptuous Empress and suddenly felt that he should do this job himself. There was no need to trouble Ziqi to do it.
"Your Majesty!"
The Empress acted coquettishly.
"Approved!"
The Qi King waved his hand. Right now, he really treated Sun Mo as a brother. "Subject Sun, what should I do with that xiu xiu xiu?"
"Just gather the spirit rune on your right arm!"
Sun Mo silently mused that the Qi King was truly unreliable. Luckily, he didn't have any bad thoughts. Otherwise, he could take the opportunity to plot against the Qi King many times.
Swoosh!
A beam of light shot out, hitting the fake mountain in the palace garden.
Rumble!
A large piece of the fake mountain crumbled.
"Haha, I'm also an expert now!"
The Qi King was very happy.
He was a little lazy and couldn't endure hardship. Hence, his cultivation base was very low. But now, he could destroy a fake mountain with a lift of his hand. This feeling was too amazing.
Wonderful!
"This empress wants this too!"
The Empress added a request.
Although Sun Mo didn't ask the unrelated people to leave, the Qi King knew the rules very well. He ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to leave. Hence, only Sun Mo, the Empress, and the Qi King were in the room.
The current Empress had already taken off her clothes and was lying on the bamboo couch.
When Sun Mo's hands were placed on the Empress' shoulders, her body trembled and she subconsciously moved a little.
"Empress, don't move, or you might make a mistake!"
Sun Mo warned.
"Oh!"
The Empress endured it.
Half an hour later, Sun Mo completed the sky spirit rune. As for why he took longer than the Qi King?
It was naturally because the Empress was a woman and had to pay more attention to aesthetics. Hence, Sun Mo tattooed a peony on her smooth back.
"This... isn't this a little too beautiful?"
The Qi King was astonished. After that, a ball of fire burned in his heart again. The love he had lost for the Empress was ignited once again.
"Quick, quick, someone come over to take the mirror. This empress wants to take a look!"
The Empress sat up in shock and urged loudly.
Sun Mo turned his head and shifted his gaze away.
The palace maids soon carried a huge full-length mirror in.
The Empress turned her head and looked at the spirit rune that appeared in the mirror. She then held her breath.
It was too beautiful!
As expected of the Hundred Flowers King.
No, it should be said that given Great Teacher Sun's skills, even a weed could have the aura of the Hundred Flowers King.
(I like it!)
The Empress was all smiles as she admired it. Suddenly, she was stunned.
(Wait a minute, isn't the sky spirit rune the one I want to tattoo?)
"Sun Mo, this..."
The Empress grew anxious. No matter how beautiful the peony was, it was useless if it couldn't fly!
"Empress, don't be anxious. This peony is actually the sky spirit rune. I made it this way for the sake of aesthetics!"
Sun Mo explained, "Just channel your spirit qi into the spirit rune on your back and you'll be able to fly."
The Empress immediately did as she was told. After that, she discovered that her body had become light. She swayed and left the ground.
"Ah, I'm flying!"
The Empress was so agitated that her face was flushed red.
"Sun Mo, if you can tattoo the peony, can you tattoo other things as well?"
The Qi King's gaze was a little aggrieved. "If I knew you had this ability, I'd definitely get you to tattoo a dragon for me!"
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo consoled. "I can do it now. My Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands can perfectly erase this spirit rune!"
Hearing this, the Qi King felt deep veneration.
After the Empress had flown enough, the Qi King laughed and invited Sun Mo to bathe together.
Sun Mo didn't reject. But less than 15 minutes later, when the Empress came in as well, he was stunned.
"Ah?"
Sun Mo jumped in fright and directly dove into the bathtub.
"Sun Mo, what's wrong?"
The Qi King was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Sun Mo felt awkward.
"Oh, to improve our relationship!"
The Qi King stretched out his hand and pulled Sun Mo up.
"You really don't treat me as an outsider!"
Sun Mo was convinced. He had a deeper understanding of the Qi King's debauchery.
In truth, the people in the aristocratic circle had always been very crazy. After all, they had already reached the peak of their lives. The only joy left in living was to seek greater stimulation.
Did the Qi King lack women?
Of course not!
What he valued more was his lifespan, health, and strength. After trying the ancient massage technique, he could clearly feel that his body was 30 years younger.
The most terrifying thing was that those minor ailments of his body, such as fat, stomach pain, and waist pain, had all been eliminated. This allowed him to not need to abstain from alcohol and could continue to binge eat and drink.
What was a Empress?
At most, he could just abolish her and appoint another one. However, if he could use a Empress to rope Sun Mo in, it would definitely be a great gain.
As long as he had a good relationship with Sun Mo, he could enjoy eternal youth.
Sun Mo didn't lack money and didn't like women. Hence, he could only use feelings, guilt, and taboos to rope him in.
To put it bluntly, the Qi King was a selfish person. The person he loved the most was himself.
Naturally, Sun Mo didn't do anything!
After massaging the two of them, he left.
"How do you feel?"
Seeing the door of the nursery room close, the Qi King's countenance turned cold.
The Empress' heart tightened. "Your Majesty!"
"Did I become 30 years younger?"
The Qi King looked at his Empress. Her skin was clearly tighter and more exquisite.
"Your Majesty, this empress..."
The Empress gulped down a mouthful of saliva, not knowing what to do.
"I've already sent people to investigate Sun Mo in detail. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's a great teacher that only appears once in 10,000 years. He has mastered several peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts and possesses a marvelous massage technique. He's also a great ancestor in spirit runes, a grandmaster in botany, and a grandmaster in puppetry. He even invented a few types of medicine packets with powerful effects and earned a lot of money."
The Qi King sighed ruefully. "The accomplishments of the Painting and Calligraphy Saints can't even be ranked in his resume! Such a person is an unparalleled nation scholar. With him, the strength of our Qi Country will definitely soar. "
"Your Majesty, aren't you thinking too highly of him?"
The Empress frowned.
"I'm afraid that I'm underestimating him!"
The Qi King smiled in self-mockery. "I'm really envious of Li Yingqi. He gave birth to a good daughter that Sun Mo likes!"
"True Jade isn't bad either!"
The Empress praised. Although Jiang Yu was the daughter of the previous Empress, their relationship wasn't bad.
"That Li Xuan's aptitude is mediocre and he likes to achieve great things. If he were to become the Tang King, the Great Tang Empire would definitely decline within ten years. But with Sun Mo, things might not be the same."
The Qi King sighed. "Could it be that the Great Tang Empire's national luck is really protected by the heavens?"
Who would have thought that a princess who was rejected by a secondary saint would actually become the most dazzling genius among the crown princes under Sun Mo's guidance?
Even Xia Taikang's head was filled with bumps.
"In the past, alchemy and weaponsmithing were important to the country and were the most popular professions. The former could prolong one's lifespan and maintain eternal health, while the latter was related to war equipment. Whoever's armor was sharper would be stronger. However, Sun Mo's spirit runes were going to change the world."
Soldiers could fly all over the world, tossing lightning rods or blasting spirit wave cannons. Who would be able to win against them?
Although Sun Mo didn't have any enmity, what if he was unhappy one day or went crazy and brought a group of people to fly above the Qi Country's royal palace and toss down a tremendous amount of lightning rods? Wouldn't the Empress be killed then?
The safety of a king shouldn't depend on the benevolence of his enemies. Rather, he should depend on the sharp blades in his hands to protect him.
Look at a certain country in the modern era. After they took the initiative to give up their nuclear weapons, what the hell had happened to them?
It was like a toilet bowl. No matter who wanted to pee, it wouldn't be able to hide.
The Empress saw that the Qi King was trembling.
"We must obtain Sun Mo's friendship!"
The Qi King looked at the Empress and patted her arm. "If you can't win against him, join him. It's not enough to become allies. You must become brothers!"
"What... what should I do?"
The Empress was a little afraid but also a little expectant.
"Help me persuade True Jade. This child has always had her own opinions since young, but this time around, for the sake of the Qi Country, she must compromise for once. Regardless of whether she likes Sun Mo or not, she must marry him."
The Qi King's words were filled with an undeniable tone.
