Sheng Fu

Chapter 1184 The Aftershocks
Upon hearing such praise, Jing's father felt extremely restrained and lowered his head slightly, saying, "I am not very knowledgeable and dare not boast."

After speaking, Jing's father bowed slightly and then withdrew.

Yuwen Jun subconsciously spoke up for Jing's father, saying, "He comes from humble origins and has never seen anything like this before. Your Majesty need not make such a fuss."

The emperor calmly replied, "They are also my subjects."

Yuwen Jun was speechless for a moment.

Never mind, it's better to tell my parents-in-law the truth afterward.

So that they won't remain in the dark forever, and then blame themselves when they finally find out the truth.

Emperor Ling raised his cup and said, "I'll drink this in one gulp. This wine is quite flavorful."

The three of them raised their glasses at the same time and drank them down in one gulp.

Emperor Ling found it quite delicious, probably because he had never tasted the clear wine of a commoner's home.

Yuwen Jun took the opportunity to establish a connection with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying softly, "If Your Majesty likes it, I can present Your Majesty with a hundred bottles in the future. This wine was brewed by my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Emperor Ling's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he found it amusing. He laughed and said, "How can I ignore such a kind offer?"

The Emperor followed suit, saying, "I want a hundred bottles too."

"You have to treat everyone equally."

Yuwen Jun raised his eyebrows, almost bursting out laughing, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course."

In the blink of an eye, Jing's father brought over the chicken soup again.

As before, Mr. Jing put down the dishes, bowed slightly, and left.

These two guests seemed kind and approachable, but Jing's father always felt that they were unfathomable, like majestic mountains or deep seas.

"Now let's have a good drink." The Emperor said, handing the Emperor Sword to Yuwen Jun.

Within the Emperor's Sword lies a vast and powerful Purple Star True Essence.

If this sword were in Jing Peiyao's hands, its killing power would be doubled. However, the Emperor did not give any warning. It is not impossible for Yuwen Jun to wield this sword. Whichever of the two of them wields the Emperor's sword must be a decision made after careful consideration.

As an elder, there are times when it's best not to give young people advice that seems correct.

……

Inside the kitchen.

Jing's father and mother sat around the stove to keep warm.

"You have no idea, the charm and temperament of Jun'er's two guests are simply indescribable. Although they were kind to me, I always felt that I was as insignificant as a speck of dust in their eyes." Cold sweat beaded on Jing's forehead as he said guiltily.

Today, he finally witnessed the true power of a strong person in an outsider.

Seeing Jing's father like this, Jing's mother gently patted his back and softly comforted him, "The guest that Jun'er invited here must be no ordinary person. We should just do our duty."

Mr. Jing grinned slightly and said, "I almost knelt down when we were in close contact just now."

"If Jun'er hadn't been there, I would definitely have knelt down in front of them."

As he spoke, his legs continued to tremble.

Jing's mother subconsciously turned her head to look towards the main hall. Jing's father quickly reached out and put his arm around Jing's mother's neck, whispering, "Don't look. Even if there are several walls between us, they will notice us watching."

Upon hearing this, Jing's mother gasped in shock.

……

Half an hour later.

Jing's parents remained in the kitchen, not leaving the room from beginning to end, until a series of light footsteps approached, at which point they instinctively looked towards the door. Their son-in-law had finally arrived.

Jing's mother instinctively asked, "Where are the guests?"

Seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law so frightened, Yuwen Jun felt very guilty and forced a calm smile, saying, "They're gone."

"I'm leaving soon too."

Finally, Jing's father couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are these two guests, and why do they exude such a powerful aura? Even though they are full of goodwill towards me, I am still filled with trepidation."

Jing's mother also looked at Yuwen Jun with longing eyes.

Yuwen Jun lowered his head slightly, and after sorting out his thoughts, said, "The Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor are both His Majesties."

"What happened today must not be publicized."

Jing's father: "..."

Jing's mother: "..."

The elderly couple were stunned for a long time before they could recover from the shock. They couldn't believe that one day they would be able to see the faces of the two emperors.

"The person who praised me was the Human Emperor..." Jing's father asked, his face pale and his voice stammering.

Yuwen Jun nodded, and with a slight thought, two weak streams of chaotic imperial energy flowed into their bodies, gradually restoring their energy and spirit.

"They both think sake is delicious, and each wants a hundred bottles. It's hard on your parents to brew the sake over a period of time, and it's a way of building a relationship with them," Yuwen Jun said softly, trying to comfort them.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Jing nodded repeatedly, their expressions perfectly in unison.

At the same time, he felt that his son-in-law looked tall and imposing, even to the point of having to look up to him.

"I'm leaving now, but I'll be back in a while." Yuwen Jun bowed slightly to the elderly couple before crossing the void and departing.

……

Divine Realm, Vast City, outside the Daoist temple.

Yuwen Jun stood quietly under the eaves and waited. After a long while, Jing Peiyao, dressed in a black and gold dress, walked out barefoot with her hair down.

The Empress's successor's eyes flashed with a hint of bloodlust. After a brief moment of sensing, Yuwen Jun discovered that Jing Peiyao's true essence was surging abnormally, boiling at its peak. If Jing Peiyao wished, she could easily ascend to the Lingxiao realm in one fell swoop.

Clearly, the sword intent of the Purple Star Holy Sword was too powerful, affecting Jing Peiyao's state of mind, and her blood-red eyes revealed an extremely pure killing intent.

"Have you decided to attack the city?" Jing Peiyao asked Yuwen Jun, staring intently at him.

Yuwen Jun hummed in agreement, and then took out the Human Emperor Sword from the Boundless Bracelet and handed it to Jing Peiyao, saying softly, "Tonight we will attack the city together. When the time comes, we will draw our swords together and realize the feat you have always dreamed of."

When the Emperor's Sword appeared before the Empress's successor's eyes, the bloodshot color in her eyes faded visibly, and she regained her former clear and lovely appearance.

As expected, the Daoist essence of the Human Emperor Sword was pure and flawless, capable of suppressing all evil thoughts.

"You should rest and recuperate first. I'll go to Lianheng Mountain to issue military orders right away," Yuwen Jun said with a look of affection.

Jing Peiyao nodded obediently, accepted the Human Emperor Sword, and then returned to the dojo.

Yuwen Jun took a step and arrived at the courtyard at the foot of Lianheng Mountain.

Before he could even get his footing, Li Hongshan appeared in front of Yuwen Jun in an instant. The Grand Preceptor was excited and his face was flushed, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun subconsciously patted the Grand Preceptor on the shoulder and said softly, "There is no need to worry. The injuries of both His Majesties have been healed within the Nine Dragons Heavenly Origin Formation."

"The battle outside Iron Mang City is still at a stalemate, and we need to add fuel to the fire."

"Quickly summon Commander Yue Bo and his men; we will attack the city tonight!"
