Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1187: Inside the Ziwei Palace
It was almost noon, when Liu Changxu and Duan Yuwei and his wife were leisurely drinking tea and chatting in the hall.

Suddenly, the maid Zi Ling, who was wearing a lavender silk dress, walked lightly in front of the two of them, bowed slightly, and reported softly:
"Master, lunch is ready. Please come and have your meal."

Duan Yuwei raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and nodded slightly, saying:
"Okay, I got it, let's go now."

After that, she turned her head, her eyes full of tenderness, and said to her husband Liu Changxu beside her:

"Husband, let's go eat first!"

"Okay!"

Liu Changxu's face was full of smiles and his eyes were full of doting.

As he spoke, he gently took Duan Yuwei's hands, which were white, tender and smooth, like bones. The two of them walked together along the corridor covered with gorgeous carpets towards the restaurant.

As soon as you step into the luxurious and spacious restaurant, you will see a large white jade table. The jade table is white and radiates a soft luster. At this moment, the table is already filled with hundreds of exquisite and tempting spiritual meals.

Each dish is carefully presented, like a piece of exquisite art. Some dishes are carved into the shape of flowers and birds, with delicate petals and lifelike feathers; others are paired with precious spiritual materials, colorful and fragrant.

Although Liu Changxu was a person who knew how to enjoy life on weekdays, he was still slightly stunned by the scene before him. It seemed that he had never been so extravagant before.

Of course, upon closer inspection, although the spiritual dishes on the jade table were rich and varied, there was not a single eighth-level spiritual dish that would be beneficial to Liu Changxu's cultivation. They were all sixth- and seventh-level spiritual dishes.

For Liu Changxu, these spiritual foods could not help him in his cultivation, they could only be used to satisfy his appetite.

Liu Changxu and Duan Yuwei came to the table and sat down slowly. Then two stunning maids in purple silk dresses came to them lightly.

With a faint smile on their faces, their movements were gentle and skillful. They first picked up the jade pot and poured fragrant wine for the two of them. Then they picked up the jade chopsticks and carefully picked up the delicious dishes on the table for them.

Duan Yuwei looked calm and graceful, enjoying the attentive service of the maid. When the maid gently picked up food for her, a change in her eyes could tell the maid what she liked, so that she could eat the dishes she liked.

However, Liu Changxu was not used to being served so meticulously. Facing the maid who was serving him food, he waved his hand slightly and said with a polite smile:
"Thank you, I can do it myself."

In addition to being able to accept the wine pouring service provided by the maid, he was more accustomed to doing it himself, which made the maids beside him very helpless, fearing that their master Duan Yuwei would punish them. Obviously, Duan Yuwei, this master, made them extremely afraid!

"Husband, how does today's spiritual meal taste?"

Duan Yuwei asked with a smile:
Liu Changxu raised his eyes, with some admiration in his eyes, nodded and said:
"Well, this spiritual food is excellent in color, aroma, and taste. It seems that Zi Ling is really talented in making spiritual food!"

Duan Yuwei's eyes slightly curved, a different look flashed in her eyes, and she continued to ask:

"I heard that sister Lian'er's spiritual food skills are very impressive. Husband, in your opinion, how does Zi Ling's spiritual food compare to sister Lian'er's?"

Liu Changxu groaned for a moment, his eyes briefly focused on the air, as if he was carefully recalling the uniqueness of the spiritual meal they had made. After a moment, he said cautiously:
"Well, the spiritual food prepared by Zi Ling and Lian Er each has its own merits and tastes delicious!"

"Zi Ling, come here quickly and thank your husband for his compliments. You may not know that your husband is a genuine eighth-rank spiritual chef. It is a great honor to receive such praise from him."

Duan Yuwei said to Zi Ling who was standing quietly aside with a reserved look.

When Zi Ling heard this, she raised her eyes, which had been drooping, with a hint of surprise and awe in them. She walked lightly to Liu Changxu, bowed slightly, and said in a clear and sincere voice: "Thank you, Master, for your compliment! Zi Ling knows that she still has many shortcomings. If there is anything she does not do well in the future, I hope that Master will teach her. Zi Ling will definitely learn carefully."

Liu Changxu looked at the gentle and beautiful Zi Ling in front of him, and he felt a sudden attraction in his heart. His tone softened unconsciously, and he patiently instructed:
"Well! With your current level, you have done quite well. Spiritual food is closely related to cultivation. As long as you can improve your cultivation, your spiritual food skills will definitely reach a higher level."

Duan Yuwei heard this, her eyes wandered to Zi Ling, and then she said to Liu Changxu:

"Husband, you must give Zi Ling more guidance in her cultivation in the future. Zi Ling has been in the late stage of refining emptiness for five hundred years, but she still can't break through this shackles. It's really worrying."

Liu Changxu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Zi Ling carefully with a sharp gaze. After a moment, he said firmly:

"In my opinion, Zi Ling is in excellent condition now, and is very close to breaking through the bottleneck. She has accumulated enough knowledge on her own, and she can successfully break through as long as she lets nature take its course, and she does not need my guidance!"

"Zi Ling, thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Zi Ling was very excited after hearing this and quickly thanked him:

Liu Changxu continued to enjoy the food, chatting quietly with his wife Duan Yuwei from time to time, and occasionally chatting with the maids with a smile. For a while, the atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and joyful, with laughter and joy.

After lunch, a maid came forward and prepared spiritual tea for the couple.

But not long after, high-ranking figures of Xuantian Sect came to pay their respects one after another.

Duan Yuwei is one of the only two supreme elders in the Xuantian Sect who have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Although she is a woman, she has accumulated a huge number of supporters and followers through her meticulous management in the sect for thousands of years.

The people who came to pay their respects were the representatives of Duan Yuwei's followers. Most of them were in the fusion stage. Among them were Duan Yuwei's disciples and elders of the Xuantian Sect who firmly supported her and had shared honor and disgrace with her for many years.

These people hold various key positions within the Xuantian Sect, some holding great power, and some holding important posts.

It is with the support of these people that Duan Yuwei actually controls half of the power in Xuantian Sect and competes with another supreme elder, Chu Ping, in the sect.

It is precisely because of the existence of these loyal supporters that Duan Yuwei resolutely chose to stay in Xuantian Sect after getting married.

After all, this is not only the result of her hard work over the years, but also the stage for her to realize her ambitions.

In comparison, the Liu family's assets are really not worth mentioning in Duan Yuwei's eyes.

She chose to be a Taoist partner with Liu Changxu because she valued Liu Changxu as a person, not the Liu family's assets on Penglai Island. She didn't want to share a man with other women on Penglai Island.

In fact, Duan Yuwei’s biggest wish now is that her husband can spend as much time with her as possible.

This time, she carefully arranged for her supporters to come and pay her a visit, hoping to use this opportunity to establish a good relationship between her disciples and her husband.

For a while, the Ziwei Palace was bustling with people coming and going. Every high-ranking member of the Xuantian Sect who came to pay a visit had respect for Duan Yuwei and curiosity about Liu Changxu. They came forward one after another, bowed respectfully, and their words were full of respect and friendliness.

Due to the large number of people coming, these people did not stay for long after paying their respects and just said goodbye and left.
