I am a madman ◆ Ten thousand more

  "What? Show off your talent? Has the empress dowager gone senile and lost her memory or something? I'm not a lady from the Feng family, what talent do I have to show off?"

  Phoenix's slender fingers emerged from the golden-edged sleeve, her left elbow propped against the dragon chair, her palm supporting her cheek, her face calm and serene, her tone light and detached, as if she were talking about someone else.

  Her eyes held a faint, cold smile, and a strand of hair fell on her shoulder. A delicate, bright hairpin with a cloud-patterned golden tassel was inserted at an angle into her hair. The workmanship of the hairpin was extremely fine, with every thread visible. The golden elegance set off her beauty even more. Under the snow-white veil, a faint red lip color appeared and disappeared.

  "Besides, I have no talent and no virtue, with no ink in my chest, this is a well-known fact! Can the Empress Dowager be so ignorant and isolated to such an extent?"

  A sweet and clear voice, like a gentle breeze blowing over ripples on a quiet brook, producing heavenly music.

  "How dare you!"

  The empress dowager was so enraged by her words that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She hated it most when people mentioned her age, and Feng Mianxue not only said it outright, but also with such righteousness and confidence!

  "How dare you! This is insolence!"

  Princess Duanming slapped the table with a loud bang, stood up abruptly with her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew scolding people on the street.

  "How dare you! This is insolence!"

  Tian Ce Emperor grasped the wine jug on one side with one hand, and in a voice that was somewhat childish, he said angrily. It seemed like he was imitating Mo Meng Xiang's tone, but in reality, he had even more momentum than her.

  "How dare you!"

  Seeing the wine jug in his hand, Princess Duanyun's face turned pale and she involuntarily took a step back.

  Tian Ce Emperor used actual actions to tell her whether she dared or not, grasping the wine jug in his hand and smashing it towards Mo Manqing's direction, the movement was quite swift.

  In her haste to dodge, she accidentally knocked over the Empress Dowager's most treasured pot of peony, and suddenly became flustered.

  "What's wrong with you guys? Still standing there like a fool? Hurry up and get out of here!"

  Duan Ming Gongzhu tightly pinched Bi Lu, a palace maid of Yun Shang Gong, who was attending to her side. The long hairpin pierced into her waist, causing her to gasp in pain.

  "Yes, Princess!"

  Bixia lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, suppressing the resentment and anger in her heart. She curtsied and began to pick up the shattered flower pot. Her gaze swept over Erwangye Mo Shucheng, who was staring at Fengxue with his mouth agape, and she tugged on the handkerchief in her sleeve with a hint of jealousy.

  "Today all the beauties showed off their talents. Mei Xue excelled at whatever she performed, otherwise it would be an insult to everyone present!"

  The empress dowager cast a hateful glance at Mo Manqian, then turned to Feng Muxue and said in an overbearing tone, not allowing Feng Muxue to lose face in public, but she was still resentful.

  She used to be a famous and talented woman in her heyday, now she wants to see what kind of skills Cold Qinghuan's daughter has.

  Everyone saw the empress dowager today and vowed not to give up until they achieved their goal. One by one, they stretched out their necks, wanting to see if Feng Yuxue would be scared to tears.

  Feng Mei Xue was still young and in their eyes, she certainly wasn't a match for the cunning and experienced Empress Dowager.

  Bai Yulan covered her face with her sleeve, pursed her lips and smiled, seeing the Empress Dowager pointing the spearhead at Feng Mianxue, a vicious and gloating expression floated onto her face.

  "Oh? If I don't put on an act, I'll offend everyone at once. The Empress has really pinned a big crime on Mei Xue!"

  Under the dense and heavy eyelashes, a pair of bright eyes gazed at those ugly faces, the corners of her lips slightly raised, drawing a cold and ruthless arc.

  "A Xue, don't bother with that old witch! She's a bad person!"

  Tian Ce Emperor saw the Empress Dowager's behavior, his face rose with an uncontrollable anger, he stretched out his hand to pull Feng Miao Xue's sleeve corner, and pointed at the Empress Dowager loudly.

  They used to bully him, and for the sake of the overall situation, he could bear it. Not to mention that the current power is in the hands of the various kings and major families, if a power struggle breaks out, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed, destroying the foundation of the Tianyao Empire and giving other empires an opportunity to take advantage of it.

  Because he is a fool in the eyes of all, it can maintain a temporary peace. He hastened his pace, secretly reclaiming the power of the various kings, for the empire, for the people, and for stability.

  However, it was bitter for him himself!

  He had always suspected that the Emperor was not dead, and at the time of the Emperor's death, there were many suspicious points. Before returning to the palace, he personally went to the imperial mausoleum and did not see the Emperor's body. Therefore, while secretly reclaiming power, he also sent people to find the Emperor's whereabouts.

  He had endured for so long, silently bearing it all along, but when they wanted to bully Ah Xue, he couldn't tolerate it no matter what.

  Even if it means exposing his hidden strength, he would spare no effort to protect her.

  "Don't worry, I can handle these jokers myself!"

  Feng Mei Xue gently patted his shoulder and whispered in his ear. The warm air like orchid, lightly sprayed on his earlobe, made him shudder and numb, and his whole soul trembled with it.

  The tension on her face also relaxed in her soft and gentle words, and she naturally trusted what she said.

  He felt that she was really different from before, with a calm and composed demeanor, no matter where she was, always confident and calm, with a hint of arrogance that didn't take anything seriously.

  A jade stone is polished by the trials of wind and frost, but ultimately it will shine with a brilliant light that dazzles the world.

  "Everyone is waiting for you alone, what are you still dawdling about! A fool, a bumpkin, we really can't look up to you too much!"

  Duan Ming Gongzhu sneered and said, seeing that the Empress Dowager was not present, she left and tore off her disguise, revealing a domineering and overbearing side.

  In the imperial palace, she was used to being unscrupulous and saw that idiot daring to refute her today, immediately scolding him mercilessly without considering any royal dignity.

  "It's not that easy to watch me perform, my talent requires everyone's participation, otherwise I won't play along!"

  Feng Mei Xue slowly stood up, her colorful clothes changing colors with the light, presenting different hues. The deep purple that was rich to the extreme and subtly revealed a hint of pink, intertwined with the bright red and golden color, was so luxurious that it was hard to imagine.

  "Alright! Let's all join in and see what tricks you have up your sleeve! Which one of music, chess, calligraphy or painting do you want?"

  Princess Duanming thought that even if she agreed to it, it wouldn't change the fact that Feng Mei Xue was fundamentally untalented and would still end up embarrassing herself.

  Feng Mei Xue turned her head to instruct a nearby palace maid, who hastily walked out. Everyone was waiting to see what she would do next, and then several palace maids and eunuchs moved in a long table, stretching across the grand hall of Yun Shang Palace.

  "What exactly do you want to do?"

  The empress dowager stared at the long table with an inexplicable expression, her face showing a few shades of impatience, and shouted in a loud voice.

  "Aren't you asking me to perform my best skill? Mei Xue is not talented, I only know this one trick of gambling! Whoever comes next will have a share, as long as someone wins against me, whatever they want me to perform, I'll do it!"

  Feng Mei Xue walked up to the long table with a flourish, ordering someone to arrange a set of dice cups in sequence, dazzling everyone's eyes.

  "The rules of the dice game are simple, I'm sure everyone has heard of it. We'll just compare the size of the numbers! The bet for each round cannot be less than 1,000 purple stone coins. Of course, if you don't have money, then there's no need to participate..."

  After a simple explanation, everyone enthusiastically participated, and the originally reluctant beauties all joined in after hearing her last sentence. If they didn't participate, they would be ridiculed by others for not being able to take out 1,000 purple stone coins.

  When the time comes, it's not just personal shame, but also the family will be humiliated together.

  These young ladies from wealthy families mostly have money to build relationships, and each one is well-prepared.

  Among them, Yě Hòu and Duān Míng Gōngzhǔ were the most excited, Bái Yùlán and several young ladies from the Fèng family were also in high spirits. If they won, they could humiliate Fèng Méi Xuě thoroughly!

  With so many of them, can't they defeat Feng Meixue alone?

  Just thinking about it makes them burst out laughing.

  Feng Mei Xue saw the smiles on their faces and shook the dice cup in her hand.

  The casino is open!

  Everyone looked up and waited, and they all pressed their money on him.

  Tian Ce Emperor saw several princes also competing to suppress the lotus stone coins they brought, and his heart was anxious. Looking at these people with ulterior motives, if Ah Xue lost, it would be troublesome!

  Feng Jia's master, Feng Yun Han, looked at several daughters competing to come forward, and his heart chilled. He seemed to have understood a little about Feng Mei Xue's resolute departure. However, he couldn't understand why Feng Mei Xue would abandon Leng Qing Huan and cut off all ties with the Feng manor!

  There was a very ominous feeling in my heart, and my throat felt like it was being tightly grasped by a pair of hands, suppressed to the point where I could hardly breathe.

  "Bang bang bang——"

  The crisp sound of the dice shaking, in the Cloud Palace, echoed and attracted the Empress Dowager who was about to enter the palace for a rest, standing behind the curtain in the distance, looking at the crowd.

  "This round is whoever has fewer points!"

  Feng Mei Xue stood at one end of the long table, her pale wrist shaking lightly, the movement casual and seemingly without any regularity. She only shook it twice before putting it down.

  Everyone exerted their utmost efforts and started shaking the dice cup. Seeing others put down their cups, they followed suit.

  "Open!"

  When everyone opened the dice cup in their hands and looked at their own points, a smile spread across their faces.

  However, when he lifted his head and saw the vertical row of dice in front of Feng Yuxue, with only one dot on top, he was immediately stunned.

  "Excuse me!"

  Feng Mei's snow-white hand patted the table lightly, and the dice standing upright like pillars were arranged in a row, each one showing a single dot.

  "Quickly, go collect the money!"

  "Alright!"

  Tian Ce Emperor took out the large bag brought by the palace maid, and with swift movements, swept all the money on the long table into the bag. Looking at the pale faces of the crowd, they were all filled with disbelieving expressions, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh.

  "Come again!"

  The empress's face was like an overturned palette, with colors that were exceptionally bright and vivid. The old face had a faintly visible green vein jumping up and down, so angry she almost jumped out of her shoes.

  "Damn it! How can she be so lucky!"

  Duan Ming Gongzhu felt the suffocating air stuck in her chest, it was as if she was about to explode. Especially when she saw Tian Ce Emperor happily packing up piles of Lian Shi coins, she had a strong urge to kill him!

  Everyone else's face was extremely ugly.

  Only Feng Mei Xue's face was floating with a confident and arrogant smile, one person single-handedly taking on all the others, without a hint of fear or retreat. The golden sunlight falling from above couldn't compare to the dazzling brilliance that shone from her body!

  The pale face under the mask of Emperor Tian Ce showed a delighted smile. Looking at her free and unbridled behavior, he couldn't help but laugh, his expression full of indulgent pampering.

  "Come on! I don't believe she'll be this lucky all the time! If I win, let her give me a kiss in public!"

  The Second Prince laughed loudly and said, "I'll show you my wealth!" He pressed down a large sum of money, far exceeding the minimum bet.

  Seeing the Second Master betting so much money, everyone didn't want to be outdone by him and also hurriedly added more bets.

  Time slipped away unnoticed as everyone lost game after game, from initial incredulity to final despair.

  The crowd that lost so badly they didn't even have their pants left, only then did they realize where Feng Miao Xue's luck came from! It was clearly a godly gamble!

  "It's getting late, Mei Xue will accompany you all to here today. If you're interested in the future, welcome to Zui Huan Lou!"

  Feng Mei Xue's sweet and clear voice calmly said. If she hadn't seen Ce Er already collecting several large bags of Lian Shi coins, how could she let them off so easily!

  Due to the large number of lotus stone coins, Tian Ce Emperor was busy alone and couldn't keep up. Later, he called Xue Qing and Qing Ying to come and help, and they were just in time to collect these lotus stone coins.

  Aren't these people looking for their own jokes? Now let's see who is fooling whom.

  "Qing Wei, Xue Zhang, take these lotus stone coins back to the building!"

  "Yes, miss!"

  Qingwei and Xueqiang bowed and said respectfully. The admiration for the young lady in their hearts grew even stronger.

  The two of them watched as Feng Mianxue and Tian Ce Emperor left, their faces filled with confusion. They couldn't help but feel that Tian Ce Emperor's figure was extremely familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before. However, the top priority for now was to properly store these lotus stone coins.

  Swipe

  Her slender fingers, like green onions, stretched out of her sleeve, and on one of them was a ring with an unusual symbol carved on it. With a sweep of the ring's light, the piled-up lotus stone coins disappeared before everyone's eyes.

  "That's a storage ring!"

  Those who know their goods immediately exclaimed in surprise.

  Storage rings are not something that ordinary people can possess, even among the four major families, only the head of each family has the qualifications to own a storage ring. A small servant girl beside Feng Muxue had such an item, and everyone's heart couldn't help but "thump" with guesses about Feng Muxue's identity.

  "What a shrewd little girl! Not willing to take even the slightest loss!"

  The Empress Dowager stood behind the curtain, looking at the crowd's flustered appearance, and the wrinkles on her old face unfolded in a smile, suddenly looking younger.

  "Pffft!"

  Watching Qingyi and Xueqiang leave with the money, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't bear the fishy smell in her throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted, scaring the palace maids into a flurry.

  "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

  Princess Duanming was also frightened out of her wits and let out a loud shriek.

  A grand ceremony of selecting imperial consorts ended abruptly with the empress dowager fainting and vomiting blood. But everyone knew that the empress dowager would not let Feng Mianxue off easily, and the feud between them was thus formed, impossible to resolve.

  The sunset dyed the sky red, and the fiery orange-yellow color was like molten iron in a furnace, carrying a scorching warmth. The vast sky stretched out in all directions, with the breath of a summer dusk, accompanied by a warm wind that made people feel drunk.

  After leaving Yun Shang Gong, Feng Mei Xue felt that her breathing had become smoother, the smell of gunpowder inside was too strong, and staying there made her feel uncomfortable.

  Tian Ce Emperor walked beside her, the two of them strolling slowly onto the long bridge, gazing at the emerald green water caltrops and fragrant lotus flowers, their hearts also relaxing along with it.

  "Where does Ze want to go?"

  Feng Mei Xue glanced at him and felt that his breath was a bit off, seemingly too weak.

  "A Xue, I want to go see plum blossoms!"

  The Emperor Tian Ce's lips moved slightly, and his soft voice fell slowly. His bright eyes were full of longing, looking at Feng Miao Xue.

  "Alright, I'll accompany you to see the plum blossoms!"

  Feng Mei Xue didn't feel at ease with him being alone, so she nodded and walked alongside him shoulder to shoulder.

  The golden dusk, the faint evening light, fell on both of them, looking so beautiful.

  Through the artificial hill of Yuhua Garden, walking through the sea of flowers with misty clouds, stepping on soft grass leaves, breathing in clear air. The two walked quietly among the hundred flowers, stopping under an ancient plum blossom tree.

  Looking up, one can see the sunlight filtering through the flowers, and a petal gently floating down on the breeze, landing on the two people under the tree.

  "A Xue, Zhe'er really likes you!"

  Tian Ce Emperor leaned against the ancient plum blossom tree, sitting on a thick turf, his red clothes were like blazing flames, giving people a strong visual impact. His clear eyes, in the glow of the sunset, seemed to be filled with large clusters of golden flowers.

  Soft and mellow voice, like the gentle white clouds at the end of the sky, lightly reflected on the lake shore, extremely gentle, extremely quiet, without a hint of sharpness.

  "Hehe! Does Cai'er know what 'liking' means?"

  Feng Mei Xue's slender hands slightly lifted her skirt, her hands clasped around her knees as she sat beside him. Listening to his gentle voice, speaking softly romantic words, a stone seemed to have fallen into the calm lake of her heart, stirring up ripples and waves.

  A strand of black hair floated before his eyes, expressing countless tender feelings.

  "Of course I know! Don't underestimate me, Ah Xue! I've grown up already!"

  Tian Ce Emperor listened to her tone and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Was he really just a child in her heart?

  "Hehe, kids who refuse to grow up usually say they've already grown up!"

  Feng Mei Xue smiled kindly, her beautiful eyes curved into a crescent moon shape, adorned with starlight like the Milky Way, but none of the stars shone as dazzlingly as she did.

  The lush green wisteria hangs down from the plum blossom tree like a swing gently swaying in the breeze.

  Drifting with the wind was also her voice, like a clear spring rippling in his heart, flowing endlessly into the deepest part of his soul. It was as if light feathers were gently stirring his heartstrings.

  He closed his eyes, quietly savoring the faint warmth and hard-won sweetness of this moment. The world seemed to have become more vibrant in color. Even the fragrance of flowers he had never noticed before became several times thicker.

  "Put out your hands!"

  Feng Mei Xue turned her head and gazed at the Tian Ce Emperor, who was within arm's reach. As if she had thought of something, she opened her mouth to speak.

  "Hmm!"

  The Emperor Tian Ce stretched out his slender white hand, and the sunlight fell on his palm, making his pale skin almost transparent. The bright golden dark patterns spread out on his sleeves, and the needlework embroidery seemed somewhat familiar.

  "Here, this is yours!"

  Feng Mei Xue took out the Quan Ling Guo from her bosom, which was wrapped up nicely, and placed it in his hand. Her movements were filled with determination, and her tone was tinged with a hint of heartache.

  She should have noticed it long ago, his body wasn't in good condition. Whether it was his light footsteps or the endurance between his words, they all revealed this information.

  The Quanling fruit can only be kept for one day, and it's useless even if she keeps it in her hand. Now he needs this spirit fruit more than himself.

  "A Xue, let's eat together! You have half, I have half!"

  The Tian Ce Emperor held the Quanling fruit in his hand, and his heart suddenly trembled. He didn't expect her to return the Quanling fruit to him again. Had she discovered something?

  A dark energy flowed quietly from his hand, splitting the Spring Spirit Fruit in two. A strange fragrance wafted out, and the fruit's flesh shimmered with tiny, sparkling lights.

  "If you don't eat, Zhe'er won't eat either!"

  Feng Mei Xue listened to her stubborn voice, took over the half of the Quanling fruit in his hand, and put it to her lips. This time she did not use a silver needle to test for poison, having an inexplicable trust in what he gave her.

  As soon as the spiritual fruit touched her lips, it turned into a warm current and surged into her body, making her feel warm all over. Even the feeling of hunger in her abdomen disappeared instantly, and the golden light in her pupils became even clearer.

  The Heavenly Emperor did not remove the mask, and the Spirit Fruit transformed into strands of fragrant gas that accompanied his breath, surging into his body and calming the pain in his chest. The icy chill throughout his body was instantly dispelled by the Spirit Fruit's spiritual energy, and he felt as if he had crawled out of the Avici Hell, reborn.

  After taking a few deep breaths, his complexion gradually became rosy. The effect of Quanling fruit on suppressing the burning god's blood toxin was immediate and obvious. It seemed that from now on, he had a considerable amount of time to search for Lingjiao Lianzhu!

  The master once said that only by finding the nine Lianlian Lotus Beads can one thoroughly remove the Burning Spirit Blood Poison and obtain the Three Lives Lotus. Without the guidance of the nine Lianlian Lotus Beads, no one can find the location of the Three Lives Lotus.

  "A Xue, when will you be married?"

  The Emperor Tian Ce asked curiously, his small lotus-leaf-like eyes sparkling as he blinked. He liked sitting together with her like this, shoulder to shoulder watching the sunset, flowers blooming and falling, time seeming to stand still.

  "Hmm, let me think!"

  Feng Mei Xue heard his question, the delicate face under her veil was dyed with a cloud-like blush, accompanied by a rare girlish shyness. A scorching heat burned continuously at the base of her ears.

  She didn't know why she had such a reaction, but when she heard his words, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

  When she comes of age, it will be the day she marries him!

  It suddenly seemed like a dream, and she couldn't snap out of it for a moment.

  "It seems like it was about a month later!"

  "What a month!"

  Tian Ce Emperor's thin lips moved slightly as he savored the past month, happiness had come too quickly, and he was almost caught off guard.

  This month, he wants to make good preparations and give her the most beautiful and grand wedding.

  She will be his only wife in this life, and their wedding ceremony must not be taken lightly!

  He will tell her with his actions that choosing him is the best decision she has ever made in her life!

  Even if it means exhausting all his resources, he would give her a lifetime of happiness and endless pampering.

  "Hmm! One month!"

  Feng Mei Xue raised her head, gazing at the sunset slowly falling in the sky, and her heart couldn't calm down.

  "It's getting late, I should go!"

  "Goodbye, Ah Xue!"

  Tian Ce Emperor gazed longingly at her receding back, a huge smile floating on the corners of his lips. In the past, he dreaded hearing about marriage, but now he looked forward to that day arriving soon.

  Originally, I had never met someone who made me willing to give up everything, so I didn't understand what marriage was all about!

  A thousand sails have passed, willows are dark and flowers are bright, only then did I realize, holding her hand, how happy that moment was!

  All his life, he just wanted to hold her hand, and walk with her until the end of time, without ever feeling bored.

  Feng Mei Xue walked lightly and familiarly to the palace gate, the sky had already darkened.

  Stars twinkled like pearls scattered on a jade plate, delicate cloud threads clustered around the goose egg-like moon, the moonlight was hazy and intoxicating.

  Qingwei and Xueqiang were already waiting at the palace gate. The luxurious carriage also shone with golden light under the illumination of the palace lanterns.

  As soon as they saw Feng Mianxue walking over, the two of them immediately went up to greet her.

  "Miss, Mr. Nalan has been waiting for you in the carriage for a long time!"

  "I got it!"

  Feng Mei Xue nodded, lifted the curtain and walked into the carriage. The large carriage was extremely spacious, with various flower patterns and colorful paintings on the walls. Several lotus-shaped lanterns hung from the ceiling, burning with bright red flames.

  In the carriage, silk curtains hung low, and a jade-inlaid bed was arranged, with a small incense burner emitting a faint fragrance.

  Nalan Fengyin sat leisurely beside the peony-wood desk, her pale face gleaming with a soft luster, her eyes closed, and her expression as calm as a lake. Her raven-black hair was tied up with a feather-shaped pin, half of it bundled up, while the other half cascaded down, looking elegant and refined like an immortal.

  In the midst of wafting incense, he wore a sea-green cloud-patterned long gown with carefree floral embroidery on the collar, which seemed to flutter without wind, filled with an otherworldly air that was hard to find in mortal life.

  "Prince Nalan! Long time no see!"

  Feng Mei Xue sat in front of Na Lan Feng Yin, removed her veil and placed it aside.

  The horse carriage moved slowly forward, with a special permit token from the Palace in the Clouds, and several people left the imperial palace smoothly.

  "No harm done, what clues did you find in the palace?"

  Nalan's gentle and elegant voice was like a soft breeze that lightly brushed past.

  He usually doesn't like to interfere with others' business and rarely stays in one place for so long, but this time he made an exception for her several times.

  "Damn it to heaven!"

  Feng Mei Xue leaned against the soft pillow, with a few words of determination, slowly fell down.

  "It seems my guess was correct! The Mystic Sea Flower blooms on the Blood Moon Sky Sea, and only those from the Heavenly Realm can pick it!"

  Nalan Fengyin slowly spoke, he had traveled through the nine heavens and six realms, and was quite familiar with many things. Especially since he also had a Medicine God Master, regarding these secrets that ordinary people did not know, he was even more well-versed.

  "What is the Heavenly Kingdom? Why does everyone mention it with a mysterious tone?"

  Feng Mei Xue was worried about her mother's whereabouts and asked the way. If she could go to the Heavenly Realm, she would definitely go find her mother.

  "Haha, that's not somewhere you can get to now!"

  Nalan Fengyin had expected her to ask this, and he shook his head, advising her in a calm tone. Seeing Feng Xue still filled with confusion, he patiently began to explain.

  "Does Snow Maiden know where our Heavenly Dynasty is located?"

  "I don't know!"

  Feng Mei Xue shook her head and said that her understanding of this world was limited to the Feng manor. She didn't understand many things, which was also a sorrow for those women in the inner chambers.

  "The world here is much broader than what you have seen, the Tianyao Empire is located on the Yunhuan Continent, but this is just a continent. There are other unknown continents, and I know of the Ji Yuan Continent and the Xianlian Continent."

  Nalan Fengyin told Feng Mianxue about his experiences, and she immediately thought of the Earth in her previous life, where there were also different continental plates separated by oceans. Therefore, she immediately understood what he meant.

  "Hmm. But how come I didn't hear you mention the Heavenly Realm of the Gods? Is that on another continent?"

  Feng Mei Xue propped up her head with both hands, gazing intently at Na Lan Feng Yin, wanting to know more information from his mouth. At present, she still didn't know many things and needed someone to guide her.

  "You think too simply! The Heavenly Realm is not a continent, but another space, the realm of the gods! I'm telling you this, but you don't understand now, in short, it's not a place ordinary people can go!"

  Nalan Fengyin didn't say too much, because he could see that Feng Muxue was just an ordinary person, not a cultivator, and as long as she lived a simple life, it would be enough.

  "What should ordinary people do if they want to go to heaven?"

  Feng Mei Xue really didn't understand what a sacred place was. In her concept, there was no such thing as a god or not in this world. If she had to say what god she believed in, it would be herself!

  Everyone is their own god, believing in oneself is the royal way!

  "I've heard from Master that if you collect nine Lianlian Lotus Pearls, you can open the passage to the Heavenly Realm of the Gods. I haven't tried it myself and don't know if it's true!"

  Nalan Fengyin looked at her eyes full of desire for knowledge, and couldn't help but say it out loud. When he realized what he had said, his face changed slightly.

  Have I gone mad? How could I have told others about Linglong Lianzhu's affair?

  Nine Lianlian lotus beads are crucial, Master Yaoshen once said that if the nine beads gather together on a certain day, it's unknown what will happen!

  "Beautiful Lotus Pearl!"

  Feng Mei Xue silently took note of this name. She knew how to observe and listen, so she didn't continue asking questions.

  "Alas—"

  The sound of a horse's whinny came from outside, followed by Xue Zhang's voice.

  "Miss, we've arrived at Zui Huan Lou!"

  "Thank you, Mr. Nalan, for your repeated help. Mei Xue has nothing to repay you with, so I'll give you these three plum blossom jade hairpins. With these hairpins, Mei Xue promises to fulfill three of your wishes, as long as they are within my power."

  Feng Mei Xue took out a delicate wooden box from the cabinet in the carriage, opened it, and inside, on the yellow silk fabric, lay three identical plum blossom jade hairpins. The jade hairpins were translucent throughout, made of rare and precious xuanhan jade. The golden flower stamens on the jade hairpins were inlaid with crimson flame gold, one-of-a-kind in the world.

  Three wishes: first, thank him for saving Mother; second, thank him for telling the news of the Spring Spirit Fruit; third, thank him for searching for Mother.

  "I'll take this gift!"

  Nalan Fengyin's face revealed a smile as bright and clear as the moon, and he tucked the box into his sleeve. The box disappeared without a trace. His sleeves could hold countless things, and others had never noticed that they were capable of containing so much.

  "This time we part ways, don't know when we'll meet again, take care!"

  "If fate permits, we shall meet again!"

  Feng Mei Xue nodded slightly and the two of them stepped out of the carriage, bidding each other a casual farewell.

  They were just people who met by chance, hastily gathering and hastily parting ways. At the time, neither of them had put each other in their hearts, but rather regarded it as an unexpected encounter in life, like the wind coming and going.

  No one would have expected that life is unpredictable, and meeting each other was just a beginning.

  "Miss is back!"

  Feng Mei Xue put on a veil, walked into the Zui Huan Building under the bright lights, and immediately attracted a sea of admiring glances.

  Especially those who were defeated by Feng Mianxue and willingly stayed in the Drunken Delight Building to help her manage the casino, one by one saw Feng Mianxue return, their eyes shining brightly like a large red lantern.

  "Miss, Liu Li has prepared a table of dishes and is waiting for you to come back and eat! Was everything smooth today?"

  Asakusa ran over and asked with concern when she saw Feng Yuxue return.

  "It went smoothly!"

  Feng Mei Xue hesitated for a moment, nodded and said. She walked upstairs with her footsteps, leaving all eyes on her back.

  If it weren't for unexpectedly agreeing to marry Ce Er, everything would have gone smoothly!

  Looking back now, she was indeed a bit impulsive at the time, but she still doesn't regret it. If given another chance, she would still make the same choice.

  Because he's worth it!

  Yes! She deserves it!

  "Asakusa is going to be busy tonight! This time, missy has really stripped those bloodsucking leeches of a layer of skin!"

  Wen Wancai's snow lotus, after following Feng Mianxue for a long time, also learned to speak in a way that belittles others.

  A few people walked into Feng Mei Xue's bedroom, and then Xue Jing took out the lotus stone coins she had obtained from the gamble, making Qian Cao's eyes light up suddenly.

  "Wow! Miss is so awesome! Went to the Imperial Palace once and made a clean profit of so many lotus coins, might as well go a few more times!"

  Asakusa held those bright lotus stone coins and said with a happy face.

  "Please, in front of the young lady, don't show off your greedy side, okay?"

  Xue Qing said with a bad temper, while helping Feng Xue remove her makeup. Carefully removing her hair accessories, simply tying her hair with a ribbon. Found a comfortable dress for her to change into, shedding the heavy one.

  "It's okay, miss is so nice! Of course, she won't dislike Asakusa!"

  Asakusa stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, took out the account book and started calculating the accounts, her movements were exceptionally skilled.

  "You're just taking advantage of Miss's good temper!"

  Xue Qing said discontentedly, looking at Qian Cao's happy appearance, and a warm smile also floated on her lips.

  After being with the young lady for so long, she naturally also knows the young lady's temperament. If you are good to her, she will also be good to you in the same way. She is a very simple person and is very easy-going. As long as you don't cross her bottom line, she never gets angry.

  "Miss, the meal is ready, I'll bring it up!"

  Liuli brought out dish after dish of home-cooked food, and soon the table was filled. Stir-fried lettuce, cucumber soup, golden tofu, minced meat eggplant, cabbage rolls...

  The aroma is so enticing that it makes people salivate just by smelling it.

  These dishes are all very simple and unpretentious, but each one is delicious, full of the natural flavors of the ingredients.

  After a simple wash, Feng Yuxue wore light clothes and sat in front of the dinner table. She removed her veil, revealing her absolutely beautiful face. The lamp light outlined her delicate contours, no matter how many times she looked at it, she couldn't help but be enchanted!

  "You've all been busy all day and haven't eaten yet, come over and eat together, I won't be enough for one person!"

  "Thank you, miss!"

  Qingwei, Xueqiang, Liu Li and Qiancao also sat down without restraint upon hearing this. The few of them looked harmonious and didn't appear cold and deserted.

  The indoor oil painting, under the refraction of starlight and moon shadow outside the window, shines with a faint glow. The ink jade screen, light blue smoke gauze, crystal bead curtain, all give people a sense of beauty to enjoy.

  A few people ate quietly, outside the window was a deep night, only the moonlight flowed silently.

  "Xueqiang, teach me how to sew a wedding dress tomorrow!"

  Feng Mei Xue took a sip of her soup and said slowly.

  A faint voice, like a stone breaking the sky, immediately broke the silence around. As if a thunderbolt, it suddenly fell down, making everyone stunned and numb, their heads losing the ability to think.

  It wasn't until half a while later that Xue Zhang finally managed to open his mouth and asked in surprise and doubt.

  "Miss, are you going to embroider your wedding dress?"

  "Hmm! To be completed within a month!"

  Feng Mei Xue gave her a definite reply. This was the first time in her life that she would be getting married, and she also wanted to try what it felt like to sew a wedding dress. It shouldn't be difficult, right?

  "Miss, you're getting married?"

  Asakusa heard her words and asked in surprise. She hadn't thought that the young lady would get married, but this was too sudden!

  "Hmm!"

  Feng Mei Xue replied very calmly, immediately making several people's mouths open in unison.

  "I wonder who has such good fortune to be able to marry our young lady?"

  Liu Li opened her big eyes and asked curiously.

  Qing Wei and Xue Jing were outside the hall at that time, and they didn't understand what was happening inside either. They curiously looked towards Feng Mian Xue.

  "You will naturally know in a month!"

  Feng Mei Xue smiled mysteriously, her face filled with a faint sense of anticipation.

  "Miss, you're being too unreasonable!"

  Several people's faces fell, gazing at Feng Mianxue with a resentful look.

  "Oh dear, who could it be? Could it be the young master?"

  "Could it be those few princes?"

  "Don't be one of those scumbags!"

  “……”
