Jiang Ping'an walked up to the Human Emperor Palace, shrunk to an inch, and disappeared in the street in the blink of an eye. After half a cup of tea, he stood in front of the Human Emperor Palace's main hall.
He had been to this palace once, and the last time he was picked up by Nine Clouds sent by Human Emperor, who was called "Future Human Emperor" inexplicably.
This time, he came as Nine Clouds Cultivation Partner.
The door of the palace was wide open, and the guards stood at attention. Jiang Ping'an stepped into the palace, and saw Human Emperor sitting on the high platform, and Sun Moon Stars on the black Emperor Robe is faintly glowing, with a majestic face and a bright gaze. Empress is sitting next to him, with a phoenix crown and a robe, graceful and luxurious, and his eyebrows are similar to Nine Clouds.
Nine Clouds stood aside, seeing Jiang Ping'an come in, a trace of guilt and worry flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Ping'an walked to the center of the hall, bowed and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. "Jiang Ping'an pays homage to His Majesty, pays homage to Empress."
Human Emperor did not let him get up immediately, but stared at him coldly for a long time. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and even the air seemed to be solidified.
"Jiang Ping'an," Human Emperor finally spoke, his voice low and stern, "When I sent Nine Clouds to Sky Demon Island to pick you up, it was because I trusted you. You just arrived. Primal Beginning Realm, I am not familiar with this place, but Nine Clouds guided you, helped you, and protected you all the way. I thought you were a person who repays kindness, but I didn't expect you... ruined her innocence!"
At the end, Human Emperor's voice suddenly rose, and a pressure of the Dao Ancestor Realm pressed against Jiang Ping'an like a mountain.
Nine Clouds turned pale and was about to speak when Empress held him down gently.
Jiang Ping'an's expression remained unchanged, and he allowed the coercion to fall on him without moving at all. He raised his head, his eyes calmly met Human Emperor's eyes, and said word by word, "Your Majesty, Jiang Ping'an is sincere to Nine Clouds and has no intention of being scornful. Nine Clouds is the Cultivation Partner that I recognize in this life. I am willing to marry the right matchmaker and welcome her into the door with all the glory. I will live up to my expectations in this life."
Human Emperor's pressure stagnated slightly.
Nine Clouds's eyes filled with tears and he said, "Father Emperor, daughter..."
However, before she could say anything, she immediately received a stern look from Human Emperor. Empress also whispered, "Xia'er, don't talk."
Nine Clouds had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his lips.
Human Emperor and Empress looked at each other, and then their eyes returned to Jiang Ping'an. The anger on his face subsided slightly, but he still said with a straight face, "You said you would marry me?" Just marry my daughter, you can't just marry her off casually. I have two conditions. If you can do it, I will agree to this marriage. If you can't do it, you will never see Nine Clouds again in the future, and I will punish you severely!"
"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Ping'an said.
Human Emperor said solemnly, "First, within a month, we must marry Nine Clouds in a beautiful way. My daughter cannot follow you without knowing it. We must hold a wedding that all Human Race can see."
"As it should be." Jiang Ping'an nodded.
Human Emperor continued, "Second, you must buy a city in Human Emperor Cave Grotto-Heaven and make it your home. Nine Clouds grew up here since she was a child. I don't want her to be far away from her hometown after she gets married, let alone see her sleeping in the wild. You must settle down in Human Emperor Cave so that I and Empress can see her at any time."
"No problem." Jiang Ping'an agreed immediately.
Human Emperor snorted coldly and said, "You can agree simply, but do you know how much Source Crystal you need to buy a city? Nine Clouds is my daughter. If you use a remote small city to fool me, I will never agree!"
"You have to buy at least a medium-sized city. A medium-sized city costs at least 300 million Source Crystal. Where can you get 300 million Source Crystal?"
Jiang Ping'an heard this and felt a little confused: You obviously wanted me to marry your daughter, but I agreed but deliberately made things difficult for you. Are you asking me to beg you? Or are you asking me to marry you?
Suppressing his doubts, he said loudly, "How about a medium-sized city? Nine Clouds is so wronged. I want to buy a famous big city. Only in this way can it be worthy of Nine Clouds's status."
"Hmph!" Human Emperor suddenly snorted angrily and yelled, "What do you mean by this?! As my daughter, doesn't Nine Clouds deserve to be the head of a medium-sized city?"
Empress also looked displeased when he looked at Jiang Ping'an.
It turned out that they thought Jiang Ping'an was right and ridiculed them. After all, they believed that Jiang Ping'an couldn't even get 300 million Source Crystal, let alone more than one billion Source Crystal.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood." Jiang Ping'an said with a confident smile, "I really have the financial resources to buy a famous big city."
Empress couldn't help but said, "Ping An, do you know how much Source Crystal it would cost to buy a famous big city? More than a billion Source Crystal."
"Back to Empress, I roughly guessed the price." Jiang Ping'an smiled, "I can afford this Source Crystal."
"Absurd!" Human Emperor couldn't help but slapped the armrest of the throne, and angrily said, "You have only been from the lower realm to the Primal Beginning Realm for more than a year, how did you get so many Source Crystal? Do you think Source Crystal are those Essence Stones from the lower realm? Do you think Empress and I are fools?"
Nine Clouds couldn't help but said, "Father Emperor, Queen Mother, Ping An should be able to get so much Source Crystal."
Human Emperor and Empress couldn't help being surprised when they heard this.
Jiang Ping'an can also understand the unbelievable feelings of Human Emperor and Empress. It would be impossible for another person to do it. It is indeed beyond the scope of common sense.
At that moment, with a thought in his mind, an empty Storage Ring flew out from the Creation God Wheel hanging behind his head and got it into his hand.
The next moment, a large number of Source Crystal flew out of Creation God Wheel like a river, deliberately flew around in a circle, and then flew into Storage Ring.
Human Emperor and Empress looked at the numerous Source Crystal in surprise.
After more than ten seconds, 300 million Source Crystal was loaded into Storage Ring.
Jiang Ping'an said to Human Emperor, "Your Majesty, there are 300 million Source Crystal in it. I am not short of Source Crystal, but I am not familiar with the city of Human Emperor Cave, and I need your Majesty's help to find a seller."
With that said, he used Immortal Power to send Storage Ring containing 300 million Source Crystal to Human Emperor.
Human Emperor came to his senses and took Storage Ring.
Jiang Ping'an continued, "The price I offer is 300 million yuan Source Crystal and five pieces of Dao Artifact."
"Dao Artifact? Five pieces?!" Human Emperor couldn't help being shocked. Empress was also very surprised, and his mouth opened.
Immediately afterwards, Human Emperor asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you are right? It's Dao Artifact, not Celestial Artifact?"
Don't blame him for being rude, Dao Artifact is much rarer in Human Emperor Cave than in Tianque City. Human Race is currently weak in strength and has limited ability to obtain resources. It is extremely difficult to refine a Dao Artifact.
Among Human Race, one Dao Artifact is a treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years to suppress the clan or clan, and it is used to suppress luck. It will never be used lightly unless it is a matter of life or death.
"It's Dao Artifact, it's five pieces of Dao Artifact." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.
Empress couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Where did you come from Dao Artifact?"
Jiang Ping'an said, "The Profound Colorful Dao Robe on Nine Clouds is the Dao Artifact I gave to her."
Hearing this, Human Emperor and Empress immediately turned around and looked at Nine Clouds's clothes in surprise.
It turns out that before Nine Clouds entered Human Emperor Cave, she did not want to be too arrogant and restrained Profound Colorful Dao Robe's Dao Artifact aura. After she entered the palace, Human Emperor and Empress initially focused on Nine Clouds himself, but then they discovered that Nine Clouds's chastity was gone, and they didn't even notice Profound Colorful Dao Robe.
When Nine Clouds saw Father Emperor and the queen's eyes turning to her, Profound Colorful Dao Robe immediately released Dao Artifact's aura.
The next moment, the seemingly ordinary colorful dress suddenly changed.
Rays of nine-colored brilliance flowed out from between the clothes, just like the first ray of light in the morning sun, soft but not negligible.
On the placket, cuffs, and skirt, countless fine Dao Pattern light up one by one, intertwining into a mysterious pattern, as if there are stars flowing in it.
Profound Colorful Dao Robe shook slightly, and a vast and warm Dao Artifact pressure emanated from his clothes, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, but it made the air in the entire hall become a bit more solemn.
Nine-colored rays of light rose from Nine Clouds's body and condensed into a nine-color light wheel behind her, which complemented her own Rosy Light Dao Domain.
The spiritual energy in the hall was pulled by this breath, and actually formed a slowly rotating Primal Qi vortex on the dome of the hall.
The dress automatically moved without wind, and Nine Clouds stood in the hall, with fluttering skirts and nine-colored brilliance all over her body, as if Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens had descended into the mortal world.
Human Emperor and Empress stood up at the same time, their eyes full of shock.
They sensed that the dress was indeed a Dao Artifact. The key was that it perfectly matched the glow of Nine Clouds, as if it was tailor-made for her.
"This... this is really Dao Artifact!" Empress murmured, reaching out and gently touching Nine Clouds's sleeves, feeling the warmth Spiritual Light coming from his fingertips, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Human Emperor sat back on the throne, his eyes fell on Jiang Ping'an again, and he laughed happily, "Okay, okay, Jiang Ping'an, I really saw you right. Although I don't know how you did it, but since you are Future Human Emperor, you must be extremely extraordinary and superhuman!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Jiang Ping'an bowed slightly, "However, I disagree with Future Human Emperor's statement."
He still doesn't want to get involved in the power dispute among Human Race's top leaders. At present, he just wants to increase his strength quickly and kill Great Black Heavenly Devil God. Power disputes waste time and energy too much.
Human Emperor smiled disapprovingly, now that you have publicly married my daughter, you still want to stay out of it, how is that possible?
He returned to the topic and said, "I will help you look for the city. Five pieces of Dao Artifact are enough to buy Eternal Famous City."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Ping'an bowed and thanked.
Human Emperor thought for a while and said, "However, since you want to buy a Eternal Famous City, one month is too hasty. Let's relax the wedding gift to three months."
He originally intended to force Jiang Ping'an to marry into his wife, but he did not expect that Jiang Ping'an's ability far exceeded his expectations. Since Jiang Ping'an cannot be forced to marry into his wife, there is no need to rush the wedding, otherwise it will easily go wrong. A mistake would make a big joke. By then, not only Jiang Ping'an would be embarrassed, but Nine Clouds, him and Empress would also be embarrassed. He is a dignified Human Emperor, and face is a must.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Jiang Ping'an said.
Human Emperor nodded and said, "Go back and make preparations."
"Your Majesty, Empress, please retire in peace." Jiang Ping'an bowed, then turned and left.
Nine Clouds immediately chased after him and wanted to send Jiang Ping'an out of the palace, but Human Emperor and Empress did not stop him.
