Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 798: From now on, our harem will become more and more lively.

Gu Xu took Lu Shiyao to travel around the Great Wilderness for a few days, from the northern border to the southern border, from the East China Sea to Kunlun.

In the past, she either lived in seclusion in her mansion or stayed in Mount Yi, and seldom had the opportunity to go out and play.

The longest journey was when he escorted Gu Xu to Liangzhou as a bodyguard.

Now, after she came back to life, Gu Xu took her to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the wilderness.

He accompanied her to watch the sunrise over the sea, to face the morning sea breeze, and to listen to the sound of the tide; together they went to Jiange in Shu, to admire the steep cliffs and hanging waterfalls; and they also rode camels through the endless yellow sand in the northwest frontier.

Along the way, her smile became more and more charming, and her eyes showed a brilliance that she had never had before.

Whenever she arrived at a new place, she was as curious as a child, always excitedly pulling his hand, pointing and asking questions.

If we say that, as a snow girl, she is the independent Guanghan Fairy.

Now, she descended from heaven to earth, and was imbued with the worldly air of the human world.

"I'm going back to the palace." A few days later, when their footsteps covered every corner of the wilderness, Gu Xu looked at her and asked softly, "Are you willing to go back with me?

"If you don't want to deal with people, I can find a quiet place for you to live outside Luojing City. When I'm free, I'll come and accompany you."

"I will go back with you, sir." Lu Shiyao grabbed his sleeve and answered without thinking.

Although she is introverted and afraid of interacting with others, she still longs to stand beside the young master and announce to the world that she is his wife.

"Okay." Gu Xu said with a smile.

"Sir, you said you have other wives," Lu Shiyao said softly after a moment of silence, with some hesitation in her tone, "They... should all be easy to get along with, right?"

She wanted to live with Gu Xu forever, but when she heard that he had other wives and concubines, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

But she also understood that he was the emperor of Dahuang after all, and was destined to never belong to her completely.

Besides, compared to her father Lu Huan who had more than a dozen concubines, and Emperor Tianxing who had three thousand beauties in his harem, Gu Xu, who had made outstanding achievements but only had one queen and three concubines, could be regarded as a man of few desires and not obsessed with beauty.

In the past, Lu Shiyao could endure the darkness alone.

But now, she saw the sun.

So she no longer dared to imagine the days without Gu Xu by her side.

"They are all very good people," Gu Xu touched her head, "and they won't bully you.

"Besides, there's me."

…………

When they returned to Luojing City, there was already a huge crowd of people outside the city gate, and many people were waiting there early.

The procession was magnificent, with flags fluttering in the wind and colorful like clouds.

The drums and music played loudly, the sound was sonorous and powerful, shaking the whole area.

Soldiers lined up on both sides of the road, wearing armor and looking majestic, guarding the emperor's carriage in the center.

Of course, with Gu Xu's usual stingy character, he had already disbanded most of the guard of honor.

But this time, in order to let Lu Shiyao feel the honor she deserves, he used the power of Taoism and sent paper people to make up the numbers.

Gu Xu clearly remembered that when Lu Shiyao was in Longzhou, she had watched with envy the grand wedding procession of the daughter of the Longzhou prefect when she got married. She also fantasized that one day she would be able to marry the man of her dreams in a phoenix crown and a red wedding dress.

So today, he chose to take her home with a royal carriage.

Lu Shiyao stood beside him, looking at this grand scene, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The roar of the mountains suddenly sounded, like thunder shaking the heaven and earth, inspiring awe and making Lu Shiyao's eardrums slightly numb.

Before she could come to her senses, new shouts broke out from the crowd:

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu!"

Concubine Shu?

Are they...calling me?

Lu Shiyao's face turned red instantly, and she unconsciously took a step back, trying to hide herself behind Gu Xu.

At this time, a group of eunuchs headed by Han Shunxi appeared, bowed and greeted the two in unison: "Your Majesty, Madam Concubine Shu, please get in the carriage!"

Gu Xu held Lu Shiyao's hand and slowly walked towards the jade carriage.

As they walked, his blue shirt and her white dress seemed to be immersed in the festive atmosphere and gradually turned into bright and gorgeous red.

…………

Changchun Garden.

Zhao Yan stood by the lake, holding the star chart in her hand.

Ever since Gu Xu was promoted to the ninth realm and could cover the entire wilderness with his spiritual power without the help of external objects, he gave this star plate to her.

At this moment, she looked through the star disk and saw the magnificent procession on Tian Street in Luojing, as well as the fairy-like girl in a shawl beside Gu Xu.

Although she had long been accustomed to Gu Xu's hooking up with other women outside, she also knew that after he was promoted to the ninth level, he would definitely resurrect Lu Shiyao who had died for him.

But when she saw Lu Shiyao's pitiful and beautiful face, and Gu Xu's unique and gentle attitude towards her, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy.

Shangguan Jin, who was standing by, noticed her strangeness, tilted her head slightly, and asked with some curiosity: "Sister Zhao, what is bothering you so much?"

Zhao Yan's eyes were still on the star plate, and she said calmly, "In the future, our palace will probably become more and more lively."

…………

More than ten days later, Gu Xu came to Lingxiao Realm with Zhao Yan, Gu Qingyan, Jiang Zhaoyue, and the sleeping Shi Xiaohan in accordance with the previous agreement.

They first came to the Red Phoenix Altar of the Yanling Clan.

The place was already crowded with people. Not only were the people of the Yanling Clan waiting here, but even the leaders of other forces in the Lingxiao Realm had also rushed here after hearing the news.

Today, Gu Xu is the undisputed absolute ruler of the Lingxiao Realm. The survival, prosperity and decline of all forces depends on his thoughts.

Because of this, the leaders of these forces were unwilling to miss this opportunity and brought gifts with them, hoping to become familiar to him and gain a little favor.

The Scarlet Phoenix Altar is located at the core of the Flame Spirit Tribe's holy land. It is majestically situated and is surrounded by crimson volcanoes. The hot magma meanders through the valley, casting a layer of brilliant red light on the sky.

The altar itself was built of crimson firestone, its surface engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint flaming glow.

When the sacrificial ceremony began and the Yanling people chanted ancient prayers, the runes on the altar trembled slightly, emitting a mysterious and profound vitality.

Zhao Yan stood in front of the altar, feeling the blood in her body boiling like the tide, and seemed to have some kind of resonance with the power deep in the altar.

A moment later, the illusory wings of the Fire Phoenix quietly appeared behind her, the light became brighter and brighter, and gradually condensed into a substantial form.

Beside her, Gu Qingyan's figure was completely enveloped by blazing flames, demonstrating a powerful pressure.

Seeing this scene, all the Yanling tribe members present were shocked, with disbelief written all over their faces.

They never imagined that these two outsiders from the wilderness would display blood power even stronger than that of their own people, like real phoenixes descending to the earth.
