The pitch-black night sky began to sprinkle the fine, salt-like snow again. It was not as spectacular as the feather-like snowflakes from before, but the rustling sound on the ground seemed to be louder, as if there were countless ants crawling on the ground. Yue Qianchou stretched out his hand and waved it outside the pavilion. He smiled and said, "I wanted to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Styx River, but now it seems that in order to avoid conflict with them, I can only borrow the path from Big Brother's Great Snow Mountain."
"That's right. You know that you can't do it, but you still do it. The one who suffers is still you." The Snow Emperor heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked to his side. He smiled and said, "When are you leaving? I will personally send you out of the Great Snow Mountain! "
"Let's go now! There's no need to send me off. It's too ostentatious to let the Snow Emperor send me off. I want to keep a low profile. Maybe it'll be convenient for me to seek refuge here one day. " As Yue Qianchou spoke, he chuckled with some pride. He crossed his hands behind his back and was about to step out of the pavilion when he suddenly turned his head and said, "I want to ask Big Brother a question. If one day I get into a conflict with the Heartless Palace's Wang Qing, who will you help?"
"This …" The Snow Emperor was speechless. After hesitating for a while, he said awkwardly, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. If there's any conflict between the two of you, I won't help you, but I won't help him either. I can only help neither side."
Yue Qianchou smiled and walked out of the pavilion. He stepped on the snow on the ice cliff and strode toward the Ice Palace. If the Snow Emperor said that he would help him, he would be on his guard. After all, Wang Qing saved the life of the family of three years ago. His kindness was more than what he was now. It was obvious that the Snow Emperor was trying to fool him. Now it seemed that the Snow Emperor's character was not too bad. He was naturally relieved …
The Snow Emperor thought that Yue Qianchou would be unhappy. Instead, he saw a knowing smile on his face. He didn't seem to be offended at all. He was startled at first, but then he understood the reason. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He thought that this kid was too cunning. But at the same time, it made him feel a little relieved. From this point, it could be seen that at least this kid would not be killed so easily, and the possibility of finding the fire spirit was greater.
On the ice cliff, Yue Qianchou, Cangyun Xin, Ding Xiang, and Shen You all came out. Ding Xiang took out a flying shuttle, and the four of them cupped their hands towards the Snow Emperor, saying, "Farewell!" The Snow Emperor regained his expressionless face, and nodded slightly with his hands clasped behind his back.
The four of them quickly boarded the flying shuttle, and Ding Xiang quickly drove it into the sky. "Ding Ling Ling Ling" sounds came from below. The few of them looked back, and faintly saw the mother and daughter standing beside the Snow Empress. In the blink of an eye, they were far away, and nothing could be seen clearly …
In a certain room on the twenty-second floor of the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Chamber of Commerce, there was a rare absence of the clattering sounds of mahjong. Several women sat around an empty mahjong table, discussing the matter of Yue Qianchou's trip to the Underworld to help the Fourth Prince of the Li Palace's Water Tribe leap through the Dragon Gate. Words of surprise, envy, and worry filled the entire room …
In reality, this legendary story had already spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm, but the women who were passionate about playing mahjong did not know about it. It was Nongzhu who came to tell them the news. However, when Nongzhu discovered that the mahjong tiles on the table were actually carved from her beloved purple bamboo from the Southern Sea's Purple Bamboo Forest, she let out a crazy roar. As a result, Wei Chunqiu came to reprimand her. Nongzhu lost her temper the moment she met him, and could only resentfully confiscate the mahjong tiles that the women were playing with.
"Coming, coming!" Zi Yi hurriedly rushed into the room with a wooden box in her arms. She placed it on the table where the women were sitting and opened the lid. The wooden box was opened and a pile of small pieces of white jade fell out with a rustling sound. Putting away the empty wooden box, Zi Yi excitedly patted her chest to show off, "I used the jade to make a new set of mahjong tiles to make up for my master's impulsiveness. Everyone can continue!"
The women took the white jade mahjong tiles and examined them carefully. They discovered that the size and the carvings on them were exactly the same as the ones made by Yue Qianchou. The cut surface was smooth, and the corners were polished smooth. It could be seen that Zi Yi had really put in a lot of effort.
An even clearer clattering sound rang out. It might have something to do with the material of the mahjong tiles. The four women continued to surround the mahjong tiles, but they did not seem to be as passionate as before. They all seemed to be absent-minded. Hibiscus took out a white board and worriedly frowned, "I heard that the Underworld is very dangerous. I wonder if it's safe for him there."
"Bang!" Zi Yi took out two white boards and touched Hibiscus' tiles. She angrily threw out a tile and said, "That big swindler trapped us here, but he went to such an exciting place like the Underworld to play. He must be up to no good again." As she spoke, she pointed at the women and said, "That big swindler is too fickle. Maybe when he comes back, he will bring another sister who can make up a table for you. Do you believe me?"
The Hundred Charm Beauty, who was watching from outside the mahjong table, shook her head and said, "He was right not to bring us. With our cultivation, we won't be of much help to the Underworld. Instead, we will be a burden to him."
The women nodded in agreement. Only Zi Yi said indignantly, "You guys only know how to protect him. Just you wait! It would be best if he can bring three of us back at once. We can make up two mahjong tables, and you guys will be happy. "
The women looked at each other. Yan Yu, who was sitting on Zi Yi's hand, threw out a tile and jokingly said to Zi Yi, "Why don't we wait for him to come back? We will persuade him to take you into his room as well."
Zi Yi's hand, which was reaching out to grab the tile, froze. Her pretty face instantly turned red. She was no longer the naive Zi Yi. She had mingled with these women for a long time. In addition, she had always been curious and didn't feel ashamed to ask questions. She understood the relationship between men and women very well. How could she not know what it meant to take someone into her room? She felt shy, but she still said with a strong voice, "Only you guys like that big swindler. You even want to be taken into his room. I don't care."
She clearly had a good tile in her hand, but she casually threw it out. This caused the Hundred Charm Beauty, who was watching from behind, to laugh so hard that she trembled. After being laughed by her, Zi Yi, who was staring at the tile, immediately reacted. Her face turned as red as an apple. She sat there embarrassedly and didn't say anything. According to her personality, if it was any other time, she would definitely say that she had made a mistake and snatch the tile back. However, she was afraid of exposing her thoughts in front of everyone, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened.
However, the Hundred Charm Beauty was secretly playing tricks and told the other three women about it. Immediately, the table burst into laughter. The Hundred Charm Beauty pressed her hands on Zi Yi's shoulders and laughed secretly, "If he takes the initiative to take you into his room, will you agree?"
"He dares!" Zi Yi suddenly stood up and glared at them. She was a little angry, but she couldn't say no. She could only fiercely say, "If he dares to take me in, I dare to agree. See how I deal with him in the future. I won't protect him like you guys, humph!" Then, she pushed the tiles on the table and shouted, "I'm not playing anymore. I'm not playing anymore. My good mood has been ruined by you guys." She turned around and quickly ran out with a red face. Her previous enthusiasm for playing mahjong was completely gone. She could only hear a disgusting laughter coming from behind her...
In the back garden of the External Affairs Grand Commander's Residence of the Immortal Realm of Bliss. Although Mu Tianjiao was already married and no longer participated in the affairs of the Immortal Realm, she still kept an eye on all the news in the Immortal Realm. After marrying Wu Xiong, due to Wu Xiong's authority, she was able to obtain more information than before. She didn't become isolated from the outside world just because she stayed indoors.
In the pavilion in the back garden, Wu Xiong's subordinate left after delivering a jade archive. Mu Tianjiao carefully read through the information in the jade archive, then put it away in her storage bracelet. Every day at this time, a jade archive would be delivered punctually. As long as it wasn't something taboo, the daily news of the Three Realms would be detailed in the jade archive. Naturally, there was no need to worry about the source of the news from the Immortal Palace.
Mu Tianjiao would store the jade archive after she finished reading it. It wasn't because she had any desire to win, but because she believed that since she was already married, she should try her best to maintain a common topic with her man and maintain their relationship. Therefore, it was necessary for her to pay attention to the happenings in the Three Realms every day.
After reading the information in the jade archive, Mu Tianjiao sat there in silence for a long time. Not long after, steady and familiar footsteps could be heard from outside the garden. She quickly stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and walked along the small path to welcome them. In reality, as long as Wu Xiong was still within the Immortal Realm of Bliss, he would return to his residence around this time every day.
As expected, Wu Xiong saw that familiar smile as soon as he stepped through the garden gates. The two of them exchanged greetings, then walked into the pavilion, hand in hand, and sat down. This had become a habit for the two of them. Every time this happened, they would sit down and chat for a while.
Similarly, every time this happened, Mu Tianjiao would start the conversation with words that warmed Wu Xiong's heart. However, today, Mu Tianjiao seemed a little absent-minded. Wu Xiong's gaze flickered as he studied her face. He smiled faintly and asked, "Is there something on your mind, Madam?"
Mu Tianjiao raised her head and looked at him for a while. She bit her lip and said, "I heard that my father has gone to the Underworld. I wonder if the Great Commander knows about this?"
Wu Xiong wanted to deny it and say that he didn't know. However, after a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "So that's what it is! Actually, my father-in-law has spoken to me about this before. I didn't approve of him going, but he insisted on going. Given his status and the fact that he's not an outsider, I couldn't stop him by force. Before he left, my father-in-law specifically told me not to tell you about this. I've been hesitating on whether or not I should tell you. Since you already know, it saves me a lot of trouble. "
"I know my father's temperament better than anyone else. I can imagine that he's determined to go." Mu Tianjiao's face was full of worry as she said, "But I'm really worried about his safety!"
Wu Xiong laughed heartily and said, "My father-in-law only said that he wanted to go to the Underworld to see if he could expand the Four Links Chamber of Commerce's business channels. I don't think there will be any danger. Besides, before he left, I told him that if he encountered any trouble, he could report my name to the Army of the Dark Underworld. I have some connections with the higher-ups of the Army of the Dark Underworld. It shouldn't be a problem for me to resolve some problems. So, you don't have to worry too much. There shouldn't be any danger. "
