Despite being comforted by its master, Ali still couldn't hide the horror on its face.
It didn't expect its master to have awakened to this extent. This shouldn't be a good thing for it. After all, it still had a long way to go before it could become a favored minister.
"I have to restrain myself more in the future."
Liu Haoming admonished himself. Fortunately, he was in his own Internet café. If that palm was on the street, there would probably be people checking his water meter on the same day.
Then he found a wooden board to cover the hole in the ground and planned to ask workers to fill the hole in two days.
"Little darling, are you still afraid? Come, let's go downstairs for dinner. Once you're full, you won't be afraid. "
Liu Haoming stroked Ali's soft fur, comforting it as he carried it downstairs and poured it a large bowl of cat food for dinner.
As for himself, he ordered takeout.
By the time the takeout arrived, the sky was completely dark. The street lamps lit up one after another, and the number of pedestrians decreased sharply.
It seemed that there was some kind of force radiating and affecting this area. Whenever night fell, pedestrians would unconsciously avoid this street. The residents of this area also extinguished their desires and closed their doors early to rest.
Liu Haoming sat at the counter and enjoyed his dinner. A certain anime was playing on the computer.
"I wonder if there will be any guests tonight."
He suddenly said, looking at the dark and bleak street outside the door.
He was actually a bit melancholy. When Extraordinary University was fully opened in the future, everyone would be busy cultivating to become Extraordinaries. At that time, the customer base of the Internet café would be greatly reduced, and he didn't have many customers to begin with.
"Is it really impossible to make money by opening an Internet café now?"
"I hope there will be at least one guest tonight …"
The young boss said in a low voice, talking to himself.
Ali instantly pricked up its ears and looked in the direction of the door with a serious expression.
His master had already spoken. Tonight, another contender for his favor would be knocking on his door.
I hope the other party will be easier to deal with than the scheming woman surnamed Luo last night!
…
…
The Cangxuan Continent had a total of five empires, namely the Great Zhou Empire, the Great Han Empire, the Great Qin Empire, the Great Qi Empire, and the Great Xia Empire.
In addition, there were dozens of cultivation sects of different sizes, standing at the peak of the Cangxuan Continent with the five empires, dominating the ups and downs of the world.
Great Xia Empire's Changmen Palace.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! "
In a cold palace, a yellow-robed girl was practicing her swordsmanship. Every move she made produced a piercing sound.
An hour later, the yellow-robed girl was tired from her sword dance and stopped to rest. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. She had a graceful figure, bright eyes, white teeth, and an extremely beautiful face. There was an unconcealable valiant spirit between her brows.
"My progress is too slow just by relying on myself. I still haven't entered the Weak Crown Realm."
The yellow-robed girl sat on the stone steps of the palace with her brows tightly knitted. She was very dissatisfied with the progress of her cultivation.
Her name was Xia Wan 'an and she was the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. However, she was different from the other princesses as she was the least favored by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Ever since she was a child, she had been living in the Cold Palace with her mother, Su Feng. There were guards who imprisoned and guarded them, so they had no freedom at all.
Five years ago, Su Fengran died of depression and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty finally released Xia Wanan from her imprisonment. However, she could only move around in a limited area and could not enter and leave the palace freely.
Xia Wanan only had resentment and hostility towards the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was her father in name. She did not have the warmth and affection of an ordinary family.
Her maternal grandfather, Su Changcun, was originally the Supreme Elder of a major immortal cultivation sect. His cultivation level had reached the Old Age realm and he was a top powerhouse in the mortal world. He was only a step away from breaking through the void and ascending to become a Saint. Back then, Su Feng married the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty precisely because of Su Changcun.
However, 20 years ago, when Xia Wanan was just born, Su Changcun unfortunately died in the process of exploring the mystic realm of the Great Snow Mountain. Hence, Su Feng lost her backing and was banished to the Cold Palace by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty in less than two years. She never regained her freedom until she died of an illness 13 years later. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty made another woman of another major immortal cultivation sect his empress.
Su Feng was the one who told Xia Wanan about those things before she died.
At that time, she caressed her daughter's face with a sorrowful expression and said that it was Xia Wanan's greatest misfortune to be born in the imperial family. She also said that she should escape to the Cold Palace if she had the chance in the future. She believed that those people would treat her well on account of her maternal grandfather.
What her mother said was exactly what Xia Wanan thought in her heart.
She had spent her entire childhood in prison. There was not a moment when she did not want to escape from this ice-cold palace and obtain true freedom.
She even often fantasized about the day when she could cultivate to the same level as her grandfather and return to the Great Xia Dynasty alone. She would make all those who had bullied her and her mother pay the price. That scene would definitely be incomparably satisfying!
Unfortunately, fantasies were just fantasies after all, and reality was cruel.
Not only could she not escape from the imperial city, but her cultivation talent was also extremely poor.
After Su Feng's death, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty lifted the imprisonment of Changmen Palace, and Xia Wanan was able to enter the Sutra Pavilion of the imperial palace. She found many cultivation methods in the Sutra Pavilion and studied them on her own, hoping to get the power to control her own life.
However, after cultivating for five years, her cultivation level did not make any progress, and she did not even reach the most basic Weak Crown Realm.
The cultivation realm was divided into the Weak Crown Realm, the Neutral Realm, the No Doubts Realm, the Fate Realm, the Sixty Years Realm, the Seventy Years Realm, and the Old Years Realm. The higher the cultivation level of each realm, the more difficult it was to cultivate. Xia Wanan's cultivation in the Weak Crown Realm was already extremely difficult. It was conceivable that the realms after the Weak Crown Realm were even more difficult for her, and it was almost impossible for her to cultivate.
However, Xia Wanan did not give up. Even if the hope was slim, she would fight against fate to the end!
…
…
After a while, Xia Wanan recovered some physical strength and stood up to continue to practice swordsmanship.
She was now cultivating a cultivation method called the Star and Moon Swordsmanship in the Sutra Pavilion. When she mastered it, she could prove her Dao with the sword. Since ancient times, the attacking means of sword cultivators were recognized as the strongest among the cultivators of the same realm!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of breaking through the air echoed in this cold palace again. The girl was like a tireless swordsmanship machine, constantly sweating and practicing hard.
"Haha, although the sword moves are beautiful, they are all flashy but impractical."
Suddenly, a sneer sounded.
Xia Wanan immediately stopped her sword moves and looked in the direction of the door with a solemn gaze.
"Who is it!?"
She asked vigilantly. As the least favored daughter of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, she did not have a large number of maids and servants like the other princesses and princes. She was the only one in the entire Changmen Palace.
Two masked men in night clothes immediately appeared at the door. They were holding sharp swords and staring at Xia Wanan with a playful gaze. They sneered and walked over.
"I'm afraid Your Highness will never have the chance to know our identities."
"You want to kill me?"
Xia Wanan's pupils constricted and she guessed the purpose of their visit.
