Chapter 1

"My name is Hong Xiaobao, and I'm a very high-class and impressive professional second generation. However, on a dark and windy night when I can't even see my own fingers in front of me, I was kicked to this place by my dad for no reason …"

"At the moment of transmigration, I remembered the language I learned in school — I don't know any of them …"

…

Tianyun Continent, Scarlet Cloud Kingdom's palace, Emperor Hong Wenqing's study, Profound Clarity Pavilion.

"Your Majesty," a guard hurriedly reported, "The Grand Tutor who has been traveling for 12 years has returned. He is now waiting for Your Majesty in the Profound Yang Palace."

"Oh? The Grand Tutor is back? " Hearing the guard's words, Emperor Hong Wenqing was stunned at first, then he put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and smiled, "Inform him that I will arrive soon."

Hong Wenqing, the 18th Emperor of Scarlet Cloud Kingdom, was born with a square face, big ears, and a dignified appearance. He loved the people as if they were his own children and was deeply loved by the people. He could be considered a wise ruler who governed the country well.

"Yes." The guard received the order and was about to leave, but after leaving, he suddenly paused and then said, "By the way, Your Majesty, in addition to the Grand Tutor and his daughter, Miss Yun Caixiao, there is also a young man. According to my secret inquiries, this person is said to be Ye Jinning, the son of Leiyin Pavilion's Second Elder, Ye Feihong. "

"The son of Leiyin Pavilion's Second Elder?" Hong Wenqing frowned, then gently waved his hand, "You can leave first."

"Yes."

After the guard left, Hong Wenqing thought for a while and deliberately put on casual clothes instead of the dragon robe. Then, he touched the beard on his chin and murmured, "The Grand Tutor has been traveling for 12 years, and now he is back. Could it be because of that marriage? Hmm, according to his age, he should be. However, what is this son of Leiyin Pavilion's Second Elder doing here? "

…

Inside the Profound Yang Conference Hall.

"Haha, after 12 years, the Grand Tutor is even more elegant than before. His martial arts must have improved, congratulations." The moment Emperor Hong Wenqing entered the meeting hall, the first thing he saw was a man in a green robe. He hurriedly took two steps forward, and the two of them shook hands and laughed heartily. Hong Wenqing said, "It's been twelve years, I've really missed you!"

The middle-aged man held a goose feather fan in his hand, had a green scarf on his head, and three long strands of beard on his chin.

To be treated like this by Emperor Hong Wenqing, this person was none other than the Martial God Protector of Scarlet Cloud Country, Yun Shengxuan!

"Your Majesty is too polite." As the Martial God Protector of the State, Yun Shengxuan had always had a good relationship with Emperor Hong Wenqing. They had always been on equal footing, so he was not surprised. He smiled and said, "I've returned from my travels this time for the marriage of my daughter, Cai Xiao."

As expected!

Hearing Yun Shengxuan's words, Hong Wenqing immediately looked at a young girl who had been standing not far from Yun Shengxuan.

The young girl was wearing a light green dress and was about 16 years old. Her eyes were like water, shining brightly. Her skin was smooth and white with a hint of pink, as if water could be squeezed out of it. Her fingers were slender and soft, as if there were no bones in them. She was gently holding a green jade flute. Her waist-length hair danced in the wind, making her look like a fairy.

"Yun Caixiao greets Your Majesty." Seeing Hong Wenqing looking at her, the young girl immediately bowed.

An extremely beautiful person with an extremely good background.

It was the Martial God Yun Shengxuan's only daughter, Yun Caixiao!

"Aiya, I haven't seen you for twelve years. Caixiao has become so beautiful!" Hong Wenqing had already noticed this beautiful young girl. Hearing her confirmation, he was even happier. He smiled and said, "We're not strangers. Call me uncle. It will make us more intimate."

Yun Caixiao replied with a soft "En", which could be considered as an agreement.

After Yun Shengxuan and Yun Shengxuan exchanged greetings, Hong Wenqing looked at the young man mentioned by the guard and asked with a smile, "This young hero is …"

Hearing Hong Wenqing's question, the young man hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed. "One of the six orthodoxies, the son of the second elder of the Leiyin Pavilion's Blue Moon Mountain Range, Ye Jinning greets Your Majesty." This Ye Jinning had a dignified appearance. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His clothes were as white as snow. He had a good appearance. However, although he was bowing to Hong Wenqing, his eyes would sneak glances at Yun Caixiao from time to time. His behavior was strange.

"En, heroes come from young. Not bad, not bad." Hong Wenqing noticed Ye Jinning's expression and instantly understood what was going on. His brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed and nodded his head. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Cai Xiao was sent to one of the six orthodox sects, the Thunder Sound Pavilion, to cultivate because of her exceptional talent. Now that she's back, she actually brought along such a person. It seems like today's matter isn't as simple as it seems."

"Hehe, Your Majesty." Now that they had met, Yun Shengxuan gently waved his feather fan and reminded him in a low voice, "According to the engagement from back then, is the Ninth Prince still well?"

In the Crimson Cloud Country, every Emperor and the current Martial God Protector had to enter into an engagement to strengthen the friendly relationship between the two parties.

If the Martial God Protector chose a man, then the Emperor would choose a princess to marry. If the Martial God Protector chose a woman, then the Emperor would choose a prince to marry.

The current Martial God Protector, Yun Shengxuan, only had one daughter. Therefore, Hong Wenqing had to choose a prince to marry. The prince that was chosen was the Ninth Prince, who was the same age as Yun Caixiao and was the most beloved by Hong Wenqing. He was the Ninth Prince, Hong Xiaobao!

The reason why he was named Hong Xiaobao was because the Ninth Prince's body was relatively thin when he was born. Moreover, he was the youngest and most treasured child. Therefore, he was named Xiaobao in hopes that he would be as sturdy as a family heirloom. Speaking of which, this name was personally given by Yun Shengxuan in the past.

"Sigh, this child of mine, Xiaobao," Hong Wenqing was slightly gloomy when he mentioned his most beloved but also most troublesome ninth son, "He is quite happy every day. It's just that he doesn't attend to his proper duties, which gives me a headache."

"Oh? Doesn't attend to his proper duties? " Hearing this, Yun Shengxuan instantly frowned and said, "Could it be that he has never cultivated the Flowing Cloud Eagle Claw that I left for him?"

Yun Shengxuan knew that Hong Xiaobao had a weak physique. Before he left, he had specially left a secret technique for Hong Xiaobao to cultivate so that he could strengthen his body. However, according to Hong Wenqing, he didn't cultivate this technique?

"Sigh, it's a long story." Hong Wenqing let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly. He said, "Grand Preceptor, you should come with me and take a look first."

What's going on? Something doesn't seem right.

Yun Shengxuan and his daughter, Yun Caixiao, looked at each other and nodded in unison. "Alright." Then, they left the house and headed towards the Mysterious Sky Pavilion where the Ninth Prince resided. Along the way, Ye Jinning followed closely by Yun Caixiao's side. Hong Wenqing saw this and understood what was going on.

In the end, as soon as they entered the Mysterious Sky Pavilion, they saw countless servants carrying iron shovels and shovels running all the way. At the same time, a foul smell wafted over. Hong Wenqing and the others turned their heads to look and saw a few servants pushing a manure cart!

Yun Shengxuan, who had always had a sage-like demeanor, was immediately dumbfounded. "What's going on?"

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary. Seeing such a situation as soon as they entered the door, the four of them were no longer anxious. Hong Wenqing stopped the servants who were about to pay their respects and made a shushing gesture. He then followed behind them to see what was going on.

As they moved forward, the four of them quickly heard a slightly young voice — —

"Sigh, be careful with your movements. Did you all hear me? This is the most crucial step. There can't be any mistakes! " That voice sounded like it was around twenty years old. Although it wasn't deep and strong, it was still quite comfortable to listen to. Hong Wenqing laughed. "Xiaobao, this child, I wonder what he's doing. Let's take a look at him first!"

Yun Shengxuan and Yun Caixiao were also curious. Ye Jinning's lips curled up, revealing a trace of disdain. The three of them, together with Hong Wenqing, endured the foul smell and found a hidden place to secretly watch.

This place was located in the backyard of the Mysterious Sky Pavilion. It was surrounded by lush green trees, a small bridge, and a flowing stream. The scenery was extremely beautiful. As for the Ninth Prince, Hong Xiaobao, he was directing the servants to dig something underground. There were many iron pipes, ceramic pieces, wood and other utensils at the side. The most amazing thing was that, not far from Hong Xiaobao, there was a strange object made of white porcelain placed on the table!

That object had an oval opening. Below it was a pedestal. There was also a square box behind it. No one knew what it was used for.

But soon, the four of them found out. Hong Xiaobao said, "Be careful. This is my newly developed toilet bowl. It's very expensive. It's made of ceramic. Don't damage it!"

Toilet bowl? What's that?

Suppressing their curiosity, Hong Wenqing and the others continued to secretly watch.

"Yes, yes, yes. Just like that. Continue to dig. En, dig deeper, bigger, straight up and down!" Hong Xiaobao continued to command. Unexpectedly, while the servants were digging, a servant suddenly shouted, "Ninth Prince, I dug out something!"

Hong Xiaobao asked curiously, "What is it? Let me see! "

"It's here." The servant quickly handed the thing to Hong Xiaobao, the Ninth Prince. It was very dirty and covered in mud. Hong Xiaobao didn't mind. He used his sleeves to wipe it clean. Then, he finally saw what it was.

It was a very beautiful bracelet. It was inlaid with jade stones of nine colors — red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white. The jade stones even exuded a faint mist. It felt warm in his hand. It was very magical.

"Good stuff!" Hong Xiaobao was overjoyed. He wore the bracelet on his wrist and smiled. "Everyone will be rewarded with two taels. Collect them yourselves later!"

The servants were overjoyed. "Thank you, Ninth Prince!" Then, they continued to dig!

They dug for almost an hour. Finally, the big hole was dug. The Ninth Prince first asked someone to fill the hole with about six feet long ceramic pieces. Then, he buried the hole with soil. Then, he pushed the dung cart over. Hong Xiaobao covered his nose and asked the servants to pour all the stinky feces out of the cart — the result was even more stinky …

After this was done, it was time to fix the top plate. Finally, they fixed the toilet bowl. A gentle breeze blew, and everything was finally done.

"Xiaobao, what are you fiddling with?" Seeing that the servants had started to build small houses around them, Hong Wenqing and the other three came out. Hong Wenqing pointed at the toilet bowl and asked, "What is this thing for?"

Seeing that his father was asking, Hong Xiaobao smiled and answered, a little embarrassed, "I call this thing a flushing toilet. It's very useful. When you go to the toilet, you just need to sit on it. After you're done, you just need to press the switch, and the water in the water tank will flow down. Then, you can flush it clean. It's very practical!"

"After fiddling with it for so long, you made a toilet?!" Hong Wenqing and the other three were all stunned!

Especially Yun Shengxuan and Yun Caixiao, they were even more stunned! On the other hand, Ye Jinning turned around, his shoulders trembling.

Hong Wenqing had previously said that the Ninth Prince did not do proper work. Now, it seemed that it was true!

"Ah, of course, it's not just a toilet." Hong Xiaobao was very proud and said, "This is a new invention of mine. I call it a biogas pond! To put it simply, when these … um, yellow and white substances ferment in this pond, they will produce a type of gas that can be used to make food. It's convenient, environmentally friendly, and very useful! "

Yun Shengxuan could not bear to listen anymore. Instead of practicing martial arts, what was the use of doing all this nonsense?

"Um, Xiaobao," Yun Shengxuan took a step forward, "the Flowing Cloud Eagle Claw that I left for you, have you practiced it?"

Seeing Yun Shengxuan, Hong Xiaobao hurriedly went forward to greet him, "You are Uncle Yun? Long time no see, Uncle Yun! I must practice the martial arts that you left for me! "

"How's it going? Can you show it to me? "Yun Shengxuan asked anxiously.

"Ah, I'm afraid I can't." Hong Xiaobao replied with a face full of embarrassment, "I've practiced it, but I haven't succeeded yet!"

At this moment, Yun Caixiao could not bear to listen anymore. She frowned and turned around. Ye Jinning snickered and moved closer to Yun Caixiao's ear, whispering, "Looks like this fiancé of yours is indeed as the rumors say. Not only does he not do proper work, he's also a good-for-nothing!"
