"What's wrong with the Xiahou family's gift?" Miao Yi didn't understand why her expression had changed. He took out the storage bracelet and looked at it. He was also taken aback, and took out the item inside the storage bracelet. It was a stack of purple-gold bank notes, and the words' Trustworthiness Bank 'were written on top of the notes.
Miao Yi was no stranger to Trustworthiness Bank, but this was his first time seeing such a large denomination of bank notes. It was the kind with the highest value. Each one represented a hundred trillion Red Crystals, which was equivalent to a billion Basic Immortal Pills. He believed that the Xiahou family wouldn't go so far as to give him a fake bank note.
Would they honor it? There was no doubt about it! The tickets of Xin Yi native bank had existed for a much longer time than the establishment of the celestial heavens. There was nothing to say about their credibility. It was a solid signboard, which made it impossible for the celestial heavens to set up a comparable native bank. In addition, there was no doubt that Xin Yi native bank gave a promise of confidentiality, and the official native bank transactions were easily targeted by the officials. Therefore, to put it bluntly, even the ministers of the celestial heavens used Xin Yi native bank to secretly transfer large sums of money.
Ten purple-gold bank notes. Miao Yi counted them over and over again. There were indeed ten of them, which equated to a thousand trillion Red Crystals. This meant that the Xiahou family had given him a one-time gift of ten billion Basic Immortal Pills. "Gasp!" Miao Yi couldn't help but gasp after confirming it!
This generous gift was enough to help him push his cultivation up to Colored Lotus Fourth Grade. For someone like Miao Yi, who had never lacked cultivation resources before, this wasn't too much of an exaggeration. However, for an average person, most cultivators would be lucky if they could gather enough cultivation resources to break through to Colored Lotus First Grade in their lifetime. Even for a member of the Heavenly Court, if Miao Yi hadn't taken a lucrative position and made a fortune, he could only slowly accumulate resources over time. How could someone without power, influence, or luck so easily gather such a large amount of resources?
The gift from Marshal Shen Lu, Luo Mang, that Yun Zhiqiu had pointed out earlier was already generous enough. It was the most generous gift he had seen so far, with ten trillion Red Crystals, which was equivalent to a hundred million Basic Immortal Pills. However, the Xiahou family's gift was a hundred times that!
It was shockingly generous!
The gift Miao Yi prepared for the ten thousand surviving subordinates was one million Basic Immortal Pills each. Ten thousand of them would be ten billion. The Xiahou family's gift instantly filled the hole. He finally understood why Yun Zhiqiu said there was no need. The Xiahou family's gift was enough.
Yun Zhiqiu, who was dressed in a festive red dress, stood up. "Do you have a good relationship with the Xiahou Clan in private? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? "
Miao Yi silently shook his head, looking as if he couldn't figure it out. "I don't know why the Xiahou Clan is giving me such an expensive gift. I don't have that kind of relationship with the Xiahou Clan, and I don't have much interaction with them. Even if it was a gift, it should be given to the Kou Clan. If it was given to the Kou Clan, this gift wouldn't be considered much. However, if it was given to me … could there be a mistake? It was originally meant for the Xiahou Clan, but it was given to us instead. "
Yun Zhiqiu frowned and said, "Given the Xiahou family's capabilities, they wouldn't have sent the wrong gift."
Miao Yi nodded, but he was still a little worried. He said to Qian'Er, "Qian'Er, go and ask around. Ask if there's a mistake. "
"Yes!" Qian'Er answered and left.
Inside the house, the three of them waited for a short while before Qian'Er came back to report, "Milord, Madam, the Kou Clan has received the Xiahou Clan's gift."
Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu exchanged glances. Yun Zhiqiu frowned and muttered, "I don't understand what the Xiahou Clan is doing. Why does it look like they're trying to befriend us? But logically speaking, the Xiahou Clan should know that we're now members of the Kou Clan. As long as they're on good terms with the Kou Clan, there shouldn't be any problems on our side. What's the meaning of secretly giving us such an expensive gift? "
Miao Yi pondered for a while, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "If I can't figure it out, then let's not think about it. Let's wait and see what their intentions are. Since the Xiahou Clan has already done this, their motives will be revealed sooner or later. " He waved the ticket in his hand and continued, "But the Xiahou Clan's financial power is truly extraordinary. This is probably nothing to the Xiahou Clan, who have monopolized the underground world's trade! Oh right, did the Heavenly Dawn Star Sovereign, Pang Guan, send a gift? "
Yun Zhiqiu shook his head and replied, "I did. They were very careful and didn't send anything. They must have sent it to the Kou Clan. "
Miao Yi shoved the ticket into Yun Zhiqiu's hand and said, "Since we have this sum of money, I'll have to trouble Madam with the matter of the ten thousand old subordinates. Make arrangements for them as soon as possible. I know we're short on resources right now, but I truly owe them for what happened in the Youding Domain. I don't have the ability to compensate them for those who died in battle, so I can only express my sincerity and ask for peace of mind. "
Yun Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Why bother explaining things to me? I didn't say I wasn't willing either. I understand how you're feeling. I just wanted to remind you that we still don't have the resources to raise an army. We might be able to take care of this once, but we won't be able to take care of the next time. I hope you understand."
Miao Yi nodded and said, "I still have to stay here for a hundred years. The expenses for this period will not be a small sum. If you're really short on resources, can you think of a way to sell that Seventh Grade Core Formation and that divine herb? As for the black market … "
Yun Zhiqiu immediately rejected the idea. "No way! I've already sold most of the Glorious Star immortal herbs you obtained from Purgatory on the black market, but there's no way I can sell those two items. Those aren't things that just anyone can buy or sell. Without reaching a certain level of power, selling them would raise suspicions. Until we're truly at the end of our rope, we should at least keep some of our trump cards as a backup plan. You don't have to worry about this. With these gifts, we should be able to survive for a while. If we really can't handle it, we can stop consuming the mantises' Core Formation and have them spit out some high-purity Crystal Essence to sell. We should still be able to make up for it. Don't overthink it. I'll think of a way to settle things at home. " She then turned to Qian'Er and Xue'Er to continue counting the gifts. Once they were done, they would have to write down a list and return the gifts in the future.
Miao Yi watched from the side. Looking at Yun Zhiqiu's beautiful face, he couldn't help but get distracted. His thoughts drifted to Huangfujun? He didn't think too much about Y's money, but he wondered about Huangfujun? What would Y think if he found out that he and Yun Zhiqiu were together …
For a moment, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even know when they were done counting the gifts. He also didn't know when Qian'Er and Xue'Er had left.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Yun Zhiqiu looking at him lovingly. He couldn't help but smile. "Is there a flower blooming on my face? Why are you looking at me like that? "
Yun Zhiqiu didn't know what he was thinking, but she saw a rare hint of worry on Miao Yi's face. She thought he was worried about money. This was also the reason why she didn't want to tell Miao Yi that they were tight on money. She was afraid that he would act rashly for the sake of money and cause some trouble.
"Are you thinking about money?" Yun Zhiqiu asked softly.
Miao Yi shook his head. "With my current connections, money is a small matter. The Six Paths of Reincarnation have been accumulating wealth in the outside world for so many years. It shouldn't be a problem for me to take some money from them. I'm just thinking about what I should do from now on. Now that I'm caught up in the power struggle of the Heavenly Court's upper echelons, I'm afraid I won't be able to control many things. "
Yun Zhiqiu gently embraced him. "I told you not to act rashly, but you didn't listen. Since things have already happened, we can only take it one step at a time. With our current abilities, we can't plan too far ahead."
Miao Yi embraced her tenderly and breathed in the fragrance of her hair. He didn't say a word for a long time. Perhaps he felt that the atmosphere wasn't very good, so he teasingly whispered into Yun Zhiqiu's ear, "Madam, you've been alone for a long time. And now it's our wedding night …"
Yun Zhiqiu lifted her head from his chest and shot him a charming look. "Even the Four Heavenly Kings want to marry their daughters to you. Why would they still want me? I don't have any power, I don't have any money, and I don't have any beauty in the outside world. How can a wife who has gone through hardships compare to that Guang Mei 'er? I've seen her in the Li Palace before. She's the epitome of beauty. Even women are moved by her beauty, let alone men. No wonder our Niu Er fought over her in Yu Tian. Honestly, it's not too late for you to regret your decision. I'll abdicate my position and not hinder your future. "
Miao Yi's hand slid down her back and pinched her buttocks. He smiled and said, "Rivers of blood flowed for you, and hundreds of thousands of heads fell to the ground for you. Is that not enough to win a smile from your wife? Is that not enough to prove my sincerity? "
Instantly, Yun Zhiqiu's eyes turned watery. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
Miao Yi lowered his head and kissed her. Their bodies rubbed against each other, as if they wanted nothing more than to melt into each other's bodies. At the height of their passion, Miao Yi picked her up and pressed her down onto the bed. They rolled around, their clothes flying everywhere. Finally, Miao Yi and Madam Miao were in the throes of love.
Inside the room, red candles burned brightly …
In the middle of the night, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't help but ask about Miao Yi's encounter in the Primordial Wastelands.
Speaking of this, Miao Yi suddenly remembered something. He pulled Yun Zhiqiu to sit cross-legged and face him.
Yun Zhiqiu was still a little unused to seeing him naked like this. She covered her chest with her arms and glared at him. "What are you trying to do now?"
"A way to save resources!" Miao Yi chuckled. With a wave of his arm, he summoned a cloud of Orbs of Will.
He was originally empty of Orbs of Will. Fortunately, Wen Ze had given him a thousand years' worth of his salary.
Soon, the two naked people on the bed were engulfed in dense spiritual energy. Their voices could be heard from inside. "How did this happen?" Yun Zhiqiu finally gasped …
After the wedding, Miao Yi couldn't leave the Imperial Garden. So the Kou Family temporarily arranged for Yun Zhiqiu to stay in the Imperial Garden's guest house. Now that Yun Zhiqiu had become Kou Lingxu's adopted daughter, no one could say anything about her staying in the guest house. It was also to make it easier for the two of them to see each other.
Miao Yi's headache was that he had no choice but to stand more diligently now. On the other hand, the Heavenly Lady Ruyi often came to the Imperial Garden to tend to the fields. What made him even more speechless was that Zhan Ruyi often called him over to help her with chores, such as carrying buckets and watering the fields for her.
On the other hand, Zhan Ruyi didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, she acted so selflessly that it made Miao Yi's heart skip a beat. 'Why doesn't this woman know how to avoid arousing suspicion? Don't drag me down!'
