Pleasant Goat Hot Pot Restaurant.
With the arrival of spring, hot pot restaurants are booming, attracting many customers and forming long queues.
But amidst the pervasive aroma of hot pot, the small figure with blindfolds, ill-fitting clothes, and frequent grease stains was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Chulong changed into a satin skirt with blue floral patterns and was washing her face in the backyard. Aunt Mei told her that this was the outfit her mother wore when she first entered the martial arts world.
It was early spring, Princess Little Jiang raised her face, as bright and beautiful as a white forsythia carefully blooming.
Her features were exquisite and beautiful, and her black hair was loose and flowing.
No one would have imagined that a year ago she would have been that dying little beggar in Mud Horn Alley.
"Stuttering sister... Sister... You're so beautiful!"
Ironically, it was the little beggars working in the shop who became stutterers.
"Aunt Mei, is it... good-looking?"
Jiang Chulong lowered her head and asked cautiously.
"It looks... it does look like it..."
Mei Yun's expression was complicated, and her eyes were glistening with tears. She wiped her eyes, trying to suppress the memories that were about to well up.
Just then, a gasp came from outside the hot pot restaurant.
It seemed like they were calling out something like "Cold Fairy" or "Little Tyrant."
Jiang Chulong's eyes lit up with excitement. She ran behind the curtain, but then stopped. It was so lively outside! She usually didn't dare look the guests in the eye...
Oh, right, Big Brother Li said...
She touched her chest.
"Brother Huang, are you coming to the Imperial Capital with me? My cloud is quite large; you should be able to fit it in."
"Forget it, if I sit down, there will be too many people."
"It's okay, Ice Block can sit on my lap."
"?"
The Flying Poison Two-Faced Turtle was instantly confused by the Divine Hammer Little Overlord, who was using abacus beads.
Well, when you tell the story later, you can say that he was defeated by Li Mo with a single hidden weapon.
Huang Donglai a wry smile, "I think I'll just have to go on my own."
"What's wrong?"
"I always feel unsafe following you; something's bound to happen sooner or later, and it won't be a small matter..."
Huang Donglai politely declined.
Flying Poison Two-Faced Turtle, as expected of you, still so steady!
"..."
Li Mo found himself unable to refute it.
But that's a bit unfair to him. What does the incident have to do with him? It's definitely because of Ice Block. Isn't the path to becoming the Empress of Destiny always full of thorns?
Little Li said he was also one of those who were caught in the crossfire.
But that didn't stop him from clinging to the Ice Block's jade-like legs...
Where is Chulong?
Ying Bing's calm eyes swept around the hot pot restaurant.
"Oh right, I didn't see her."
Li Mo was taken aback, then wondered if Aunt Mei had run away with Princess Little Jiang.
But just then, the curtain was lifted.
The huge hot pot restaurant fell silent for a moment. A regular customer recognized who had come from the backyard and stared in disbelief.
Princess Little Jiang stood there, her eyes looking weak, pitiful, and helpless, but all of that was hidden by sunglasses.
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking every bit the arrogant, emotionless killer.
"Did Aunt Mei say anything?" Li Mo asked.
Princess Little Jiang panicked and shook her head emotionlessly.
"That's strange."
As Li Mo was speaking, he saw Mei Yun through the curtain, her expression complex. She seemed to have a lot to say, but only sighed.
That's true...
Chulong has made it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking, it's no longer possible for her to remain anonymous. Even if she doesn't enter the martial world, the martial world will come to her.
At least in Mei Yun's eyes, having a mysterious and powerful mentor behind her made her feel somewhat safer.
"Aunt Mei, we will come back safely," Li Mo said earnestly.
"Yes, come back soon."
Mei Yun took a small box out of the Sumeru Object and handed it to Li Mo:
"If any of you manage to enter the Heavenly Human City, open this and take a look. After you've seen it, remember to burn it."
"Good."
Li Mo knew that Mei Yun came from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa and had once been Chulong's mother's sword attendant.
It is said that the things here are related to the Heavenly Human City Realm, which is the transformation of the Heavenly Phoenix Domain.
Two weeks later.
Springtime is in full bloom.
Standing atop the clouds, Li Mo gazed into the distance, where a magnificent landscape slowly unfolded before him.
Under the blue sky, there is a magnificent city wall reflecting the brilliance of crystal. It is full of ever-changing scenery, with towering pagodas standing tall, some of which are even more magnificent than the skyscrapers of the past.
The city's area extends beyond the horizon, and one can vaguely see a snow-covered mountain in the distance behind it, towering like a corner of the sky.
The city center should be the imperial city, the residence of the royal family. What comes into view is a jade wall painting like a canopy, as if a screen covers the entire imperial city.
A divine object came to mind for Li Mo.
The Heavenly Fortune Dao Artifact - The Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Suddenly, the figures around him who were also flying down landed straight down.
"We haven't arrived yet, have we?"
Li Mo stood on the cloud, stunned.
"The extraordinary nature of this Heavenly Fortune Dao Artifact has rendered the area surrounding the city airspace closed. Anyone who gets too close will be forcibly pushed back to the ground, unless they are at the Profound Mastery Realm... Hmm?"
Qin Yuzhi was taken aback; the clouds beneath her feet showed no sign of dissipating.
"Just a trivial tactic."
Little Li adjusted his sunglasses.
"Big Brother Li is really amazing..."
Princess Little Jiang, who was cold and emotionless, broke down in an instant.
"These clouds don't look like those on the Cloud Mist Avenue..."
The Ice Block wearing sunglasses tilted its head slightly.
"So why are you all wearing these dark glasses?"
"Because we are a shaver."
"Then why didn't I?" Qin Yuzhi protested.
"Sister Qin, don't always think about what the Sect Master should give you. Think more about what you can do for the sect. I've already given you a job, and you still want me to provide work clothes?"
Li Mo certainly didn't really think that way; he was just joking.
The real reason was that he forgot about Qin Yuzhi when he was making sunglasses.
"Alright, then you can manage the Power of All Living Beings in Southern Border yourself."
Over the past two weeks, under the management of Master Qin, the Power of All Living Beings has been steadily improving.
In addition, the Demon Summoning Cult Sect has inexplicably added the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda, which has now reached thirty-two levels.
With only four levels remaining, the Great Dao Divine Form can be projected.
"... Just kidding. Actually, I don't think sunglasses suit you very well. How about I get you an eye mask instead?"
That's more like it.
As they talked, Li Mo landed on his Somersault Cloud, took out his long-unused Bronze Chariot, and entered the city gate for inspection.
An ordinary city guard was actually Divine Observation Realm.
At the same time.
Red walls and green tiles, standing side by side in the imperial city.
Purple smoke rose from the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
The young man, carrying a heavy sword case, was led by the sword attendant, Azure Bird, through the many palace walls and into the inner palace's Sword Repository Pavilion, where gleaming swords were displayed on both the upper and lower floors.
Mystic Weapon) are the most common among them.
Jiang Yu held a Mystic Weapon in his hands; its sharp light was accompanied by the faint roar of a dragon.
Snap--
Suddenly, the Mystic Weapon sword broke in half, and its Sword Qi scattered in all directions.
Jiang Yu's face suddenly darkened.
"Your Highness, all the swords from the Sword Manor's annual Weapon Forging Conference are here."
The fragments of the sword passed around the young man who was speaking, but were suddenly stopped and then coalesced into a long sword covered with cracks.
"In recent years, blacksmiths at the Weapon Forging Conference have become increasingly commonplace."
Jiang Yu looked at the sword box he had placed on the ground. "None of them can withstand the power of the Sword Bone."
"It has nothing to do with the Sword Bone."
The young man shook his head. "It's because of you. To wield a sword, one must first master oneself. If one encounters a wise ruler, even grass and trees can become divine weapons."
To put it another way: If the person is no good, don't blame the sword.
Jiang Yu's eyelids twitched.
The Azure Bird looked flustered. "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
The young man surnamed Xie acted as if he hadn't heard, staring directly into Jiang Yu's double pupils.
At this moment, a servant entered the room and whispered something in Jiang Yu's ear.
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow, a chill creeping over him:
"Didn't you always say that you once saw a little girl in the Sword Mound whose swordsmanship talent surpassed yours? Now that she's here, she should be heading to the Cloud-Stepping Tower."
"Oh?"
The young man's eyes lit up, and without saying goodbye, he turned to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the Sword Pavilion, he heard Jiang Yu behind him say:
"If you can drive her out of the Imperial Capital, I'll help you arrange a private Hua Nongying for drinks and music, to spend a wonderful night together."
"..."
The young man paused for a moment, then took to the air on his sword.
Xie Xuan both a sword fanatic and a sword saint, loving both swords and beautiful women.
Of the ten people in the Imperial Capital, eleven knew that he liked the fourth-ranked Hundred Flowers Beauty Ranking in the world, and the contemporary head of Wind and Moon Cottage.
