Calamity Heaven Martial Arts, Princesses

Ji Shu brought Hua Qiangu into the Imperial Palace.

He used the divine power of Shrink and Grow, turning the two of them into thumb-sized figures. Clouds and mist gathered around them as they rode the wind, streaking across the sky like a beam of light. In an instant, they entered the Emperor's Imperial Study and met the Emperor again.

The Emperor had already finished the morning court session and was reviewing memorials. When he saw Ji Shu and Hua Qiangu, his eyes lit up. Daring not slight them, he immediately rose and performed a grand bow.

Although Hua Qiangu had grown up in Hualian Village, once she learned that the man before her was the Emperor, she became somewhat restrained and uncomfortable.

But the Emperor did not know Hua Qiangu's background. Seeing that she had come with Ji Shu, he assumed she too was one of the Celestial Immortals. He treated her with utmost respect as well, addressing her as Immortal.

"..."

Hua Qiangu blushed and waved her hands helplessly. I-I'm not...

The Emperor looked at Hua Qiangu in confusion.

Hua Qiangu was about to explain.

Ji Shu smiled and stroked her head, then looked at the Emperor and said,

"Starting today, I'll be going to the Library Pavilion to read. Have someone prepare a room near the Library Pavilion for the two of us."

The Emperor was overjoyed. Immortal, do you mean that you'll be staying in the Imperial Palace?

For a while.

Good. I'll have it arranged immediately.

The Emperor was exceedingly decisive. He at once summoned someone to handle the matter. Then he looked at Ji Shu with a slightly ingratiating expression. Does Immortal have any other instructions? So long as it is something I can accomplish, I will not utter a single word of refusal.
