Mortal Mage

Chapter 216 Taihe Harem

Taihe Palace, Huaxi Hall.

Shi Manman sat alone on the cushion in the center of the hall, practicing quietly.

A divine sense swept over her, and she raised her eyelids to look outside the door.

Move your palms and end the exercise.

She stood up and walked out of the palace, stood in front of the door of Huaxi Palace, and looked at the gate of Huaxi Palace.

"Dangdang"

There was a knock on the palace door.

"Enter."

Shi Manman responded softly, as if she already knew who was coming.

The door was blown open, and a tall, heroic, and stern-looking woman dressed in the attire of a Xianyuan Sect disciple walked into the courtyard.

It is the melody.

"Deacon Shi."

Xiyun's eyes met Shi Manman's.

"I have abandoned the Xianyuan Sect's skills and am no longer a disciple of the Xianyuan Sect. Don't call me Shi Deacon anymore."

Shi Manman turned around and walked into the hall, waving to signal Yun to follow her.

Inside the palace.

"Did Weiwei give you any trouble?"

Shi Manman snapped her fingers and put the cushion on the ground into the ring in her hand.

Xiyun shook her head slightly and her eyes fell on the ring in Shi Manman's hand.

The ring was the storage ring she left for Zhang Mingxuan, containing 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

"Then I'll tell you straight."

Shi Manman took off the ring in her hand, put it on the table beside her, and said coldly, "Zhang Mingxuan is a rare genius in formation attainments. No one can refuse him."

"Humph."

Xiyun snorted lightly and didn't respond. Her eyes were always on the ring on Shi Manman's desk.

"Let me tell you, Zhang Mingxuan alone is as powerful as an entire sect."

Shi Manman threw the ring to Yunyun.

"I don't care about his attainments in formations. It has nothing to do with me whether he can defeat several sects."

Yun borrowed the ring, wiped it with her fingertips, and added, "I came back just to see if Canglang Continent is really safe."

She probed her spiritual sense into the ring.

The spirit stones are all there.

"It has a lot to do with you."

Shi Manman looked at Yun and said, "You know, there is no heavenly law here, and there will be no thunder tribulation. If he really dies, hundreds of millions of people in Canglang will be buried with him."

After hearing this, the fingertips that were wiping the ring trembled slightly.

She had a premonition that there might be no constraints from heaven here, so she had the guts to swear not to kill Zhang Mingxuan.

Because Ye Yu never avoided prophecies when speaking and often made casual oaths, hundreds of years had passed, and Ye Yu had never been affected by thunder tribulation once.

If this were the case, Shi Manman, Qingling, and Huayu could have killed Zhang Mingxuan without being condemned by Heaven.

"so."

Shi Manman narrowed her eyes slightly; "Why do you think we have to marry a useless spiritual root?"

"why?"

Xiyun had already guessed about 70% of the answer, but she still decided to let Shi Manman continue speaking.

Soul searching can only search memories, but cannot search other people's thoughts and understanding.

"Zhang Mingxuan's value is far beyond what you and I can estimate."

Shi Manman paused and continued, "He is only nineteen years old, but his attainments in formations are already unrivaled in the world. Protecting him will only benefit you and not cause you any harm." She stood up and looked at Yun Yun with a sharp gaze. "I asked you to come back to tell you that I saw through the mess between Cuiyun's sects five hundred years ago. What they pursued is nothing but a joke in front of the teleportation formation."

Yun was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and slowly said: "I understand."

"Immortal...immortal..."

At this time, Liu Zhong's low voice came from the courtyard gate. His voice seemed to be afraid that no one inside could hear it, and also afraid of disturbing people.

Shi Manman waved her sleeves, and the gate of Huaxi Palace was blown open by a breeze.

Liu Zhong held a memorial in both hands, bowed his body, walked to the door of the palace, and said tremblingly; "Immortal, this is the title proposed by the previous dynasty for you and other immortals. I hope you will take a look at it."

"Has Zhang Mingxuan seen it?"

Shi Manman looked at Liu Zhong outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, please act according to the law."

Liu Zhong knelt down hurriedly.

Shi Manman opened her palm and took the memorial into her hand.

She waved her hand to signal Liu Zhong to leave, and then she began to write a memorial.

-

Royal study room.

The white fox rushed in.

Zhang Mingxuan hurriedly put away the jade slip in his hand.

He didn't know what level of technique this "Dong Huazi's Secret of Immortality" was, but it was definitely a thousand times stronger than his breathing technique.

"Master, Yun is back and is going to Huaxi Palace to look for Shi Manman."

The white fox strolled close to Zhang Mingxuan.

"Are you in danger?"

Zhang Mingxuan stood up and looked down at the white fox at his feet, while putting the jade slip into his arms.

"There is no danger, but I found that there are many more monks near the Western Dynasty Palace, and they seem to be monitoring the imperial city."

After hearing this, Zhang Mingxuan frowned and speculated, and figured out most of it.

Qing Ling said that the spiritual energy in the Eastern and Western Dynasties was thin, and no one would be willing to stay there. When he went to the Western Dynasty, Qing Ling did not find any cultivators around the imperial palace. Now that so many cultivators have appeared innocently, there can only be one reason.

Coming for him.

The Western Dynasty's teleportation array is in the secret room of the imperial palace. Although it is protected by a formation, it is not foolproof. Once someone with bad intentions enters, the news about Canglang's jade slips of martial arts will definitely not be kept secret by these mortals in the palace.

Once the news leaks, it will inevitably bring irreparable disaster to the entire interface.

And he has no ability to protect Canglang now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingxuan jumped out of the imperial study in three steps and went straight to the harem.

Huaxi Palace.

Zhang Mingxuan quickly jumped in, glanced at Xiyun who was reading a memorial in the room, and then his eyes fell on Shi Manman. He said solemnly, "Give me the ring."

Shi Manman stood up and bowed to Zhang Mingxuan, then turned her gaze to Xiyun.

Xiyun closed the memorial slowly, stood up, bowed symbolically to Zhang Mingxuan, and presented the ring in his hand to Zhang Mingxuan.

"Why don't you ask me why?"

Zhang Mingxuan originally thought that getting the ring back would be a hassle, and there was even a possibility that he would not be able to get it back.

"Your Majesty's actions are beyond my control."

Yanyun raised her red lips and smiled.

There is a sense of motherly rule in her words.

"Where is Hua Yu Qing Ling?"

"I'm getting dressed for tomorrow's wedding."

Shi Manman responded.

"Oh, you don't mind if I put away the things in the Qionghua Storehouse?"

Zhang Mingxuan grabbed the ring and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

He originally thought that the things in the Qionghua Storehouse would be strictly controlled by Shi Manman, or directly snatched away by Qing Ling, but he did not expect that he could enter the Qionghua Storehouse again.

There were hundreds of thousands of jade slips of martial arts techniques placed there, and he didn't believe that these old monsters would not be tempted.

This is indeed a bit abnormal.

"As your majesty wishes."

Shi Manman responded softly.

"Transgender?"

Zhang Mingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, asked in confusion, then took the ring from Yuyun's hand and went straight to Huaxi Palace.

After Zhang Mingxuan walked away, Shi Manman and Xiyun looked at each other.

"Then let's see who can get pregnant with Taicang's dragon seed first."

Shi Manman squinted and looked outside the door.

Yanyun smiled and said nothing.

They are all confident in controlling a doll.

-

After Zhang Mingxuan put all the jade slips of skills and magic weapons in the Qionghua Library into the ring, he returned to the imperial study again.

Liu Zhong held a stack of memorials in his hands, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids followed him in.

"Your Majesty, you will be getting married tomorrow. The Ministry of Rites has drawn up a procedure that needs your review."

Liu Zhong reported hurriedly.

"I won't read it. Just give me a brief introduction and remind me anytime and anywhere tomorrow."

Zhang Mingxuan squatted in front of the desk in the imperial study again. Two young eunuchs had spread out a piece of brand new rice paper on the desk.

He has a new formation idea that he is ready to design.

"Your Majesty, at 3 p.m. tomorrow, you need to get up early, change your clothes and prepare for the wedding ceremony. At 4 p.m., the imperial edict will be issued to announce the names of the people who will be canonized. At 7 p.m., the Ministry of Rites will send out a sedan chair to welcome the bride. At 9 p.m., the empress's imperial sedan will arrive at the palace first and then go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. You will personally canonize the empress with the golden seal and book. At 5 p.m., the imperial concubine, noble concubine, and imperial concubine will go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in turn, and you will also bestow the silver book and silver seal on them. At 5 p.m., the wedding ceremony will be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with civil and military officials, foreign envoys watching the ceremony and a banquet. At 11 p.m., the empress will enter the bridal chamber, and the imperial concubine, noble concubine, and imperial concubine will each enter the palace."

Liu Zhong finished speaking in one breath while holding the memorial.

The Ministry of Rites had already prepared all the items needed for the wedding, including the phoenix crown, bridal veil, jewelry, etc. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had also arranged the decoration of the palace half a month in advance.

"According to your wishes, the wedding will be kept simple."

Liu Zhong bowed and added.

Zhang Mingxuan shook his head, his thoughts all on the rice paper on the table, thinking about how to start designing the battle formation. He didn't hear a word Liu Zhong said.

He didn't take marriage seriously at all. It couldn't be said that he had no emotional foundation with these old weirdos, but he didn't even have a financial foundation.

Wang Mingde Mansion.

backyard.

Wang Wan'er, wearing a bright red dress, sat in front of a bronze mirror. She gently removed the rouge from between her lips and carefully took care of the blemishes on her face.

"Miss, you are as beautiful as a fairy among fairies. The fairies in heaven would be so jealous of you if they saw you."

Jin'er was beside Wang Wan'er.

"Don't talk nonsense. The people in your majesty's harem are all real immortals. How can I compare to them?"

Wang Wan'er was smiling.

Seeing Wang Wan'er's smile, Jin'er was also secretly delighted and said with a smile, "So what? Miss, you are the real Queen of Taicang. When you are in the harem, those immortals will have to obey your orders. I also heard that the palace has collected many treasures from the people in recent years. We can also benefit from them when the time comes."

"Jin'er, don't mention the treasures in the palace anymore. You can't covet them. Be careful not to get into trouble."

Wang Wan'er suddenly stopped smiling and spoke seriously to Jin'er.

"Oh, let's not talk about it."

-

Northern Pacification Office.

"Old Guo, His Majesty is getting married tomorrow. You and I must ensure that there is no chaos in the city."

Wang Han walked into the inner hall of the government office and stared at Guo Zhuoran in front of the desk. "What is this?"

On the table in front of Guo Zhuoran, there was a side spirit crystal.

This spirit-detecting crystal is clear and cool.

"Eunuch Liu gave it to me. He said it was a reward from the immortals in the harem. It is used to help you and me establish the Taihe Sect. It can be used to measure spiritual roots."

Guo Zhuoran stared at the crystal ball nervously.

"What? Let me test it!"

After Wang Han finished speaking, he slammed the long knife in his hand on the table with a "pa" sound, squatted beside Guo Zhuoran, and stretched out his dark big hand to touch him.

"Don't move. Eunuch Liu didn't tell me how to use this thing."

Guo Zhuoran hurriedly stopped him and stopped Wang Han vigilantly.

"No matter how he uses it, it's okay to touch it. If the immortal wants to harm us, why would he need such fancy means?"

After Wang Han finished speaking, he placed his big hand on the spirit-detecting crystal.

The dim crystal instantly lit up, lightning flashed inside the crystal, flames ignited, and green plants grew.
