The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 257 A Gift for My Sister
Throughout the world, any powerful person who has reached the realm of heaven and man is an absolute mythical figure and the mainstay of a great country.

Most people will never see a powerful celestial being in their lifetime.

They are the ones who truly stand at the top of this world.

Each one of them is enough to change the life and death of countless people.

Suddenly, the news of the battle between the eight celestial beings spread, like a meteorite hitting the earth, shocking countless people and making them dizzy.

There has never been such a war in hundreds of years.

Countless discussions were heard in various countries.

Countless smart people analyzed more things from the massive amount of information.

For example, the game between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols never stopped.

For example, all the countries and powerful people in the world are wary of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the future of the Sui Dynasty.

Etc., etc.

The battle between the eight celestial beings will also affect the world situation. Except for the people at the bottom, few people will not be curious or care.

There was a boiling discussion everywhere, in big and small countries.

Not to mention the voices of other countries, the various voices in the Ming Dynasty were the most chaotic and complex.

The officials, forces, and martial artists close to the Ming Dynasty court were all happy and proud, but also a little worried.

Gao Xing was proud of the power of the Ming Dynasty and sent out four celestial beings at once, who defeated the four powerful celestial beings of the enemy.

His Majesty defeated one person with great force.

The visible strength makes them feel proud and confident.

The only thing I was worried about was the three powerful celestial beings who appeared out of nowhere and wanted to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty was powerful, no one dared to underestimate those three powerful celestial beings.

Most neutral people are proud of it.

However, many people also looked at Shaolin and Wudang with complicated expressions.

Master Zhang and the man who was recognized as a celestial being from Shaolin helped the Ming Dynasty court to take action.

This is obviously another more obvious choice.

Most of the righteous forces felt helpless and complicated.

Shaolin and Wudang are the two leaders of the righteous martial arts world.

These two leaders were clearly leaning more towards the imperial court, but they did not say it explicitly.

The most important thing is that the court’s policies will really damage their interests too much.

It's very unwilling for them to accept it like this.

Revolt?

Looking at Shaolin and Wudang, who have never made a clear statement, as well as the strength of the imperial court, they simply cannot bear that idea.

What remains is helplessness and complexity.

Countless forces or individuals who were friendly with Shaolin and Wudang sent letters to the two families, or even sent people to visit them in person.

Then the current abbots and heads of Shaolin and Wudang were all in a dilemma.

Finally, those who were truly hostile to the Ming court were solemn and surprised.

The power of the imperial court is growing stronger, and Shaolin and Wudang are leaning towards each other.

The four powerful celestial beings dispatched at the same time. Even if you didn't face them in person, just listening and thinking about them was enough to feel the suffocating oppression.

The surprise is that there are so many powerful celestial beings who are enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Not counting the Mongols, there are three powerful celestial beings as enemies. Even the Emperor Shengwu would have a headache, right?

They may be able to fish in troubled waters.

The turmoil in the world and the various emotions within the Ming Dynasty could not affect Zhu Houzhao.

On September 6, without anyone knowing, all the discomforts in his body were cured.

Those discomforts are definitely not injuries.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Fourth Level (76769/90000)

The fourth level of Mingshen Wudian (55932/120000)

Out of habit, he glanced at his talent and nodded with satisfaction.

Since returning to Beijing, I have been practicing the Thirteen Tai Chi Moves faster these days.

Originally, over the past month, the daily price had gradually dropped below two hundred, but in the past few days it has directly jumped to around two hundred and forty or two hundred and fifty.

The practice of Mingshenwudian has also accelerated in the past few days, from a drop to around 90 to around 130.

He had a vague feeling that it was related to what he said that day.

But he didn't think much about it, he was the best anyway.

Reaching out and grasping the two dragon balls that had been flying around him, Zhu Houzhao touched the two dragon balls reluctantly.

The two dragon balls seemed to have sensed each other and emitted golden light.

"Hey, you guys can't bear to leave me either."

Zhu Houzhao seemed to understand something, touched them again and smiled.

After laughing, he said seriously: "You two little guys, I don't need your help in my current cultivation. You have to play a bigger role, understand?"

The golden light of the two dragon balls dimmed.

"Your Majesty, you want..."

After the storm, Lian Xiuxiu, who had been dozing off, opened her eyes and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. I want to give the dragon ball to someone who needs it more." Zhu Houzhao saw that there was still some time before dawn, so he ran naked to Xiuxiu's couch and hugged the fragrant and soft Xiuxiu.

After more than a year, Lian Xiuxiu was no longer so shy. She lay peacefully on his broad and reliable chest with her graceful and delicate body covered with a light veil. She asked casually, "Your Majesty, do you no longer need the Dragon Balls for your cultivation now?"

"If all seven dragon balls were gathered together, they could have a significant effect on me. But if they were just one or two, the effect wouldn't be significant. Giving them to other people would help strengthen my court's strength faster." Zhu Houzhao said truthfully without giving it much thought.

One dragon ball can only increase his cultivation by two or three points every day. Two dragon balls together can increase it a little more, about six or seven points.

With each additional pill, the effect will be greater.

But in comparison, it is better to give the Dragon Balls to other people to use.

The Ming Dynasty needs more grandmasters and above.

"Yeah." Lian Xiuxiu responded without caring.

“It’s a pity that you, Xiuxiu, Mengyao, Bingyun, Zhenzhen, and Tianjiao are still far away from the realm of grandmaster. Otherwise, I could give you a dragon ball to use so that you can break through to the realm of grandmaster as soon as possible.” Zhu Houzhao said at this time.

"Where is Sister Tianxue?" Lian Xiuxiu asked curiously.

After more than a year, the concubines already knew the conditions for using the Dragon Balls.

Only kind-hearted people who come into contact with the Dragon Balls will not be tempted by them and let their desires overwhelm everything.

It also requires an extremely strong will to be able to use the Dragon Balls for long periods of time without hindrance.

Even these kind concubines in the eyes of His Majesty are not allowed to use Dragon Balls for cultivation, saying that their wills are not strong enough.

Only when they are close to the Grand Master realm can they use more Dragon Balls to help them break through.

But now, several kind-hearted concubines have spoken, except Yin Tianxue.

“There are some problems with Tianxue’s skills. Although the old man has helped her sort them out, they have not been completely resolved.

Tianxue said that if he wanted to solve the problem, he needed to go back to Yujian Villa.

He also said he would come back in a few years." Zhu Houzhao said directly.

Lian Xiuxiu nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a soft voice with some helplessness: "Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for you to tell me the secret of sister Tianxue like this."

"Is this a secret?" Zhu Houzhao asked, and then casually said, "We are all family, it's nothing."

Lian Xiuxiu was speechless. Suddenly, she realized something and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, you wouldn't tell my secret to the other sisters, right?"

"Xiu Xiu, do you have any secrets?" Zhu Houzhao was at a loss.

Lian Xiuxiu suddenly lost all hope.

I'm afraid the other concubines, especially those few, already know a lot about her.

Fortunately, it’s not a big deal.

Since Your Majesty is here, let them go.

Lian Xiuxiu, who had always been strong, hugged Zhu Houzhao's waist with some attachment and said softly: "There is no secret."

"Yeah." Zhu Houzhao didn't think much about it. He habitually played with the soft thing with one hand while thinking about the distribution of the dragon balls.

After a few breaths, he suddenly sat up and said seriously, "No, I have to get up. If I hold you, Xiuxiu, I won't be able to think about serious matters."

Lian Xiuxiu glanced at the tense situation below with her watery eyes and said with a slight frown, "You still blame me."

(Lian Xiuxiu)

With a blushing face, she helped Zhu Houzhao put on his clothes with her bare hands.

After breakfast, Zhu Houzhao left and went about his daily business.

In the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao came to the Yaoyue Palace.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Yao Yue said with curved eyes and a gentleness that was completely different from that of a different person.

"I'm here to find Lianxing." Zhu Houzhao said directly.

Yao Yue was subconsciously a little jealous, but still said, "Lian Xing is in the side hall, what does His Majesty want to see her for?"

"Let's go and talk after we meet Lianxing." Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly.

Pulling Yao Yue towards the side hall.

As the months passed, Lian Xing's temperament changed slightly.

She has gained more confidence, which comes from the recovery of her left hand and left foot.

After several months, with the help of the world's top medical skills, the magic of the dragon balls, and the effectiveness of the Mingyu Gong, Lianxing's left hand and left foot have recovered to their original state.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Lian Xing showed a gentle smile and bowed.

"Lianxing, I'm giving you a gift today." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, stretched out his hand, and a dragon ball lay quietly there.

"Dragon Ball!" Yaoyue and Lianxing were both surprised.

"That's right." Zhu Houzhao smiled happily and said, "Lianxing, you are not far from the peak of the innate realm. I will give you this dragon ball to help you break through to the Grandmaster realm as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yao Yue's eyelids twitched subconsciously and she frowned slightly.

Lian Xing seemed to have a telepathic connection with Yao Yue. A hint of fear flashed in the depths of her eyes as she glanced at him.

"If I use the Dragon Balls to break through to Grandmaster level first..."

“After you break through, you can become the master of a branch of a martial arts hall in a province and rule over the Ming Dynasty.

How about it? Lianxing, are you willing?
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be the head of the branch hall of the Martial Arts Hall. You are still my good sister." Zhu Houzhao smiled kindly.

After hearing these words, Yao Yue's expression softened a little, but she still looked a little solemn.

Lian Xing's mind was complicated, with countless thoughts flashing through it, including hesitation, happiness, expectation, fear, etc.

But when she saw the look in her 'brother-in-law's' eyes, she suddenly felt relieved.

He smiled openly and said, "Lian Xing thanks your Majesty very much. I will definitely live up to your expectations and break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible.

As for the head of the branch hall of the Martial Arts Hall, Lian Xing wants to think about it again, is that okay?"

Yao Yue's eyelids twitched again, and she clenched her hands tightly, her competitive spirit burning with anger.

"Of course, just think about it, don't be in a hurry." Zhu Houzhao said fondly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lian Xing said softly.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Zhu Houzhao turned his head and was immediately surprised.

(It's too late to finish the second and third chapters. I'll make up for it tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot more.)
