Looking at Sky Ling 'er sitting on the hammock, swaying happily just like in the past, Zhong Shan couldn't help but recall the past. An inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
Nie Qingqing hid in the dark at the right time and hid in the small forest.
"This is the osmanthus cake I made. In the story, Sky Ling 'er liked to eat it the most. After eating it, your fingers will still be wet." Zhong Shan took out a small box that he had made in the past two days.
With a trace of curiosity, Sky Ling 'er grabbed a piece and threw it into her mouth. As soon as she ate it, her eyes lit up. It wasn't that she had never eaten anything better than it, but she suddenly liked it. There was an inexplicable liking in her heart, as if this osmanthus cake was her favorite thing to eat. She couldn't help but wet her fingers that had just grabbed the osmanthus cake.
With that, Sky Ling 'er suddenly paused. She looked at Zhong Shan with some panic and immediately stopped wetting her fingers. She threw away the osmanthus cake and stopped eating.
What's going on? Why am I the same as Sky Ling 'er in the story?
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan continued to talk about the story between him and Sky Ling 'er.
When he talked about the casino, Sky Ling 'er took out the dice and was curious. When he talked about how Zhong Shan used his fingerprints to identify the murderer to save Little Wolf, she looked at her thumb curiously.
When he talked about Zhong Shan's family, the Blood Bodhi, and the strange person at the bottom of the magma. When he talked about how the two of them used the air cannon to soar into the sky. Sky Ling 'er's eyes were filled with surprise.
This story sounded really interesting.
When he talked about how Zhong Shan was buried in the snake's stomach, Sky Ling 'er's heart tightened. She clenched her fists.
When he talked about the Eight Gate Mountain, Sky Ling 'er was even more curious.
When he talked about how the two of them were trapped in the Thunder Scorpion Valley. Sky Ling 'er was completely immersed in the story.
When the Osmanthus Cake was mentioned again, Zhong Shan gave the hope of survival to Tian Ling'er and blocked the cave entrance by himself.
Tian Ling 'er's tears could no longer be stopped. They kept flowing down. Even in the depths of her heart, a kind of heart-wrenching pain seemed to have been relieved. It kept tearing at Tian Ling' er's heart, as if it was blaming her.
Zhong Shan couldn't continue.
Nie Qingqing also walked out, supporting the teary-eyed Tian Ling'er. When she looked at Zhong Shan, her gaze became extremely complicated.
"Come back tomorrow!" Nie Qingqing said.
"En!" Zhong Shan nodded and left.
He called out to the Fiery Wolf General. Then, he returned to the Southern Ming Tribute Hall.
Inside the Nanming Tribute Hall.
Zhong Shan looked at the Fiery Wolf General and asked, "How are you today?"
"Ugh, it's alright!" the Fiery Wolf General said, a little puzzled.
"En!" Zhong Shan didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Zhong Shan continued his story. Zhong Shan saw that Tian Ling'er's feelings toward him had changed slightly. She was more alert, and at the same time, more complicated.
Following that, Tian Ling'er didn't eat the Osmanthus Cake anymore. Instead, she listened to Zhong Shan talk about those touching memories.
Women were emotional. It wasn't just Tian Ling'er. After hearing this series of stories, Nie Qingqing also became sentimental. Her attitude toward Zhong Shan improved a lot.
He talked for four days. After all, the two of them had been together for too long. There was a lot to talk about. However, four days was enough for them to talk about it.
"Elder Sister, I'm going back. I need to think about it. I won't be coming here for the next few days," Tian Ling'er said with reddened eyes.
"En." Nie Qingqing nodded.
Just as Tian Ling'er was about to hug Xiao Hong … Zhong Shan walked over.
Zhong Shan grabbed the Vermilion Bird's food and asked, "What are these?"
Inadvertently, Zhong Shan also threw in a few grains of rice that were almost the same size.
It was also something that Zhong Shan had specially asked Mr. Shi to make for him.
"This is Flame-Gathering Rice. Xiao Hong's food! "Tian Ling'er put away the Flame-Gathering Rice and left with the Vermilion Bird.
Seeing Tian Ling'er leave, Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
Nie Qingqing shook her head and sighed, "It won't work. The Phoenix Sovereign's seal can't be broken so easily."
"Regardless of whether it works or not, I still have to thank you!" Zhong Shan said to Nie Qingqing.
"Sigh!"
Zhong Shan bade farewell and returned to the Southern Ming Tribute Hall with the Fiery Wolf General.
Zhong Shan looked at the Fiery Wolf General and asked, "How's the task of seducing Qing Hong coming along?"
"Uh, it's alright!" Fiery Wolf said.
"Alright? What do you mean 'alright'? "
"Uh …"
"What does Qing Hong look like?" Zhong Shan looked at Fiery Wolf with a hint of uncertainty.
"Uh …" Fiery Wolf hesitated.
Zhong Shan stared at the Fiery Wolf General.
"Don't tell me that it's been four days, and your so-called 'alright' hasn't even seen Qing Hong's face?" Zhong Shan stared at Fiery Wolf General.
The Fiery Wolf General lowered its head helplessly. It nodded in shame.
"Damn!"
Two days later, at the morning assembly of the Great Li Dynasty, Zhong Shan waited patiently below the Li Fire Sacred Palace.
"Summon the envoy of the Great Havenlaw Dynasty to the Li Fire Sacred Palace!"
Zhong Shan stepped onto the sky stairwell again and walked up to the Li Fire Sacred Palace.
When he reached the entrance of the palace, he suddenly heard some voices in the palace.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Great Cheng Empire's crown prince, Zhao Tiansha, just arrived at the Li Fire Sacred Palace last night. He said that he brought the Great Cheng Empire's sincerity to seek an audience with Your Majesty. He has already been arranged to be in the Siyang Palace."
"The Great Cheng Empire's sincerity? The Great Cheng Empire and my dynasty have been at war for years. What sincerity do they have? "
"Summon him," Nie Fanchen said.
"Yes!" Everyone fell silent.
Zhong Shan stepped into the palace. At the same time, an old eunuch stepped out of the palace, clearly going to find Zhao Tiansha.
Inside the palace, civil and military officials stood in two rows. At the center was the Great Li Emperor, Nie Fanchen. Just like the Great Havenlaw Dynasty's imperial court, it was so solemn, so grand, so sacred, and inviolable.
Zhong Shan only recognized two of them. One was Marquis Xiaoyao, who was sneering at him. The other was Marquis Shao Fei, who had a kind smile on his face.
"Great Havenlaw envoy, Zhong Shan, greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty enjoy immortal blessings and live as long as the heavens!" Zhong Shan bowed slightly.
"Great Havenlaw envoy? You represent the Great Havenlaw Dynasty. What business do you have here? "Nie Fanchen asked.
"Both Daluo and Dali are the Celestial Empires of the Divine Lands. They are the role models of the world, but they are very far apart. The Emperor of Daluo and the Emperor of Dali used to be old friends, so he sent Zhong Shan here to promote the friendship between the two empires and deepen the relationship between the two empires. He brought countless unique spirit fruits of Daluo, and at the same time, he also wanted to ask the Emperor of Dali for a Qianqiu Fruit to show the friendship between the two empires," Zhong Shan said.
"Permitted!" Nie Fanchen said indifferently.
Following that, several eunuchs came over with a tray.
Zhong Shan took out the Great Havenlaw Dynasty's spirit fruits and placed them one by one.
There were countless spirit fruits, and the entire palace was filled with a tranquil air. Just a whiff of it would make one's pores open.
Most of these spirit fruits were seventh-grade spirit fruits, and were very precious.
But in the end, they were just external objects. Everyone in the imperial court had seen the world. Looking at these spirit fruits, they were a little surprised, but more than that, they were calm.
After all the spirit fruits were handed over, a eunuch came over with a silver fruit.
The fruit was the size of a fist and was covered with countless thin scales, as if it was wrapped in a layer of snake skin.
It was an eighth-grade spirit fruit, the Millennium Fruit.
Seeing this fruit, Zhong Shan recognized it at a glance.
He immediately took out a small jade box and solemnly put it away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After doing all this, Zhong Shan bowed respectfully.
"I heard that Duke Dongfang of the Great Havenlaw Dynasty obtained a bottle of Elixir of Immortality. Is that true?" Duke Xiaoyao suddenly said in a strange tone.
Elixir of Immortality? The courtiers' expressions tensed up, and they all looked at Zhong Shan with great anticipation.
"How should I address you?" Zhong Shan asked Duke Xiaoyao.
When Zhong Shan asked, Duke Xiaoyao's face turned red with anger. You hit me twice, and now you're pretending not to know me? He did it on purpose.
"I am Duke Xiaoyao of the Great Li Dynasty, Nie Kuang!" Duke Xiaoyao said in a low voice.
"Oh, Duke Xiaoyao! Zhong Shan noted it down. I didn't expect to meet another Great Li official here. If you have time, come visit my Tribute Hall. I, Zhong Shan, love to make friends, "Zhong Shan said with a smile, not mentioning the Elixir of Immortality.
Everyone was stunned. What nonsense was this? He asked you about the Elixir of Immortality, why would you make friends? As for Duke Xiaoyao, he was quite angry. Friends? Friends my ass. I want to skin you, pull out your tendons, and drink your blood.
Perhaps Nie Fanchen remembered their old friendship and couldn't bear to see Nie Kuang being trampled on.
"Zhong Shan, I also heard that you obtained a bottle of Elixir of Immortality. Is that true?" Nie Fanchen said in a dignified manner.
In the court, all the courtiers looked at Zhong Shan expectantly.
"Your Majesty of Dali, there is no such thing," Zhong Shan denied.
Zhong Shan's words made the courtiers choke.
"You're lying!" Duke Xiaoyao said angrily.
Zhong Shan didn't even look at Duke Xiaoyao.
"However, I did obtain a miraculous item. Zhong Shan isn't sure if it's the Elixir of Immortality, but I heard that if you eat it, your lifespan will increase by at least a thousand years. I don't know if that's true or not, "Zhong Shan said.
"Wow ~ ~ ~"
The court was in an uproar. The courtiers were whispering to each other. Was there really such a thing? At least a thousand years of lifespan? Elixir of Immortality?
"Oh?" Nie Fanchen was surprised.
"Zhong Shan's eyes are poor and can't tell. I wonder if Your Majesty can help Zhong Shan determine its effects," Zhong Shan said.
As soon as Zhong Shan said this, all the courtiers looked at Nie Fanchen. Nie Kuang suppressed his anger and was puzzled.
"Okay!" Nie Fanchen's answer was very direct.
"That item seems to have a soul and can't be stored in a storage bracelet. It's at the bottom of the stairway. One of my subordinates is carrying it. I hope Your Majesty will allow him to bring it up," Zhong Shan said again.
"Permitted."
Soon, Lin Xiao, who was at the bottom of the stairway, walked into the Li Fire Sacred Hall with a purple tray. On top of it was a nine-dragon crystal carving.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on the Nine Dragon Crystal Cover. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
