Yan Lingji would certainly not refuse Qing'er's kindness. After leaving the desolate continent and returning to the Great Earth Cave Heaven, she went into seclusion with the Fire Spirit Orb in her hands.

Physical transformation usually takes a relatively long time.

In the world of Shenzhou, Lin Zhu spent his time in Lingjiu Palace reading Taoist scriptures and keeping an eye on the group chat.

Yan Lingji provided real-time updates on Liangdu's situation, and once everything settled down, he felt relieved.

In the past month, Huang Rong and her companions have made quite a name for themselves in the Western Regions and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Min secretly went back to Beiyuan and found that it made no difference whether she was there or not, which made her feel a little disappointed.

However, he still showed up and met with his parents and brother.

All three were pleasantly surprised, but not too much, much like a daughter returning to her parents' home.

"Minmin, why are you back?"

Zhao Min's mother was holding a three-year-old girl. "Come and see, this is your sister."

Zhao Min looked a little strange. She hadn't been back for more than three years, and now she had a three-year-old sister. How amazing.

I think she's quite cute. "Mom, let me hug her."

“No, you’ve always been clumsy since you were little, don’t hurt your sister.” Zhao Min’s mother refused, “Baby, this is your older sister, Minmin.”

Zhao Min gave an awkward smile.

After meeting her parents, she didn't feel any particular warmth or care from them; she felt it wasn't as good as Lingjiu Palace.

It was as if Lingjiu Palace was her home.

So she stayed at home for only two days before leaving.

Before leaving, he left behind two top-grade spirit stones, saying he was going back to Lingjiu Palace.

Her parents didn't seem to notice anything amiss, though their gazes towards her were indeed less affectionate than before.

They were probably afraid that Zhao Min would implicate them.

After Zhao Min left, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The Northern Yuan will inevitably clash with the Great Zhou.

In the northeastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Guang expended a great deal of national resources to conquer three cities of Goguryeo.

Without the support of the Great Zhou, he was already running out of steam.

Then, some of the seedlings of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes were stolen by martial arts masters from Goguryeo, which enraged them greatly.

He had originally planned to withdraw his troops and recuperate, but he launched another fierce attack on Goguryeo and reluctantly reported the matter to the court.

He realized in time that he had been arrogant and that he could not defeat Goguryeo in a short period of time.

Those three divine artifacts absolutely cannot take root and flourish on the land of Goguryeo, at least not now.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhao did not hesitate at all, and subsequently ordered Yue Fei to go north to attack Goguryeo.

Lin Zhu learned all of this from the messages Xiao Meiniang posted in the group chat.

Yue Fei's campaign against Goguryeo was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a waste of his talents.

I believe that Goguryeo will soon be gone, provided that Emperor Yang Guang doesn't hold back.

Probably not. Yue Fei's command ability was unmatched by Yang Guang. Together with the Beiwei Army, they could unleash the full power of the Heavenly Realm.

The combined forces of the three armies are comparable to terrestrial deities.

Xiao Meiniang: Little Bamboo, do you think my prince can successfully win over Marshal Yue?

Before Lin Zhu could say anything, Liu Ruoxin sent a message: Yang Guang is dreaming. Marshal Yue is loyal to the court, so how could he be won over by him?

Xiao Meiniang: Is it absolutely impossible?

Lin Zhu: That's definitely impossible.

Xiao Meiniang seemed to foresee Yang Guang's downfall. He was too weak to bear that destiny, and she might have to make some arrangements.

At the very least, I need to arrange for my daughter to find a job; she's only seven years old.

Xiao Meiniang: Can you do me a favor? @Lin Zhu

Xiao Meiniang: I want to send my daughter Ruoxi to Lingjiu Palace. I'm worried that if things go wrong, she will be implicated by me and the prince.

Lin Zhu: Okay.

Xiao Meiniang: Thank you. When is it convenient for you to come over?

Lin Zhu: Anytime.

Xiao Meiniang: Please do it as soon as possible.

Lin Zhu: I'll go over there now.

Outside Lingjiu Palace, he took off on his sword and flew away.

The golden dragon pierced the sky and appeared in Daxingan City in less than half an hour, landing on the square of the royal palace.

Lin Zhu: I've arrived.

Xiao Meiniang was surprised: So fast? I haven't even finished tidying up Ruoxi yet.

"Who has trespassed into the royal palace?"

A golden light pierced the void, and a golden halberd thrust down towards Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu extended two fingers and pinched it.

Opposite him was a young general, quite strong, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with at least the combat strength of a Grandmaster.

"Lin Zhu has been invited."

As he spoke, he casually flicked his wrist, using the true essence of Tai Chi to easily toss the young general away.

The young athlete lost his footing and rolled several times after landing before finally standing up.

The young general wasn't angry. He stood up and asked in confusion, "The Heavenly King Who Protects the Nation?"

That guy's halberd strike was aimed at killing him; I only made him roll a few times on the ground. I showed mercy, okay?

"Do not make a move."

Deep within the palace, Xiao Meiniang, holding Yang Ruoxi's hand, walked through the snow.

Another New Year is approaching. The snow is heavy in the Tianshan Mountains, but it's even heavier in Northeast China.

The outside temperature was extremely low, and Yang Ruoxi was wrapped up in a small ball, round and chubby, with only her eyes showing.

Xiao Meiniang was wearing many clothes, so her appearance was not very clear, but she must have been a great beauty.

Yang Ruoxi's eyes weren't very big, but they were very beautiful, suggesting she was quite attractive. "What a beautiful older sister."

"Pfft." Xiao Meiniang couldn't help but laugh, and gently patted her daughter's head. "This is the older brother, not the older sister."

This was also her first time meeting Lin Zhu in person. If she hadn't been startled by her daughter calling her "sister," she probably would have lost her composure.

Chapter 538 So Cute

Yang Ruoxi looked puzzled. This was clearly an older sister, and an older sister who wasn't afraid of the cold, wearing so little.

Lin Zhu squatted down, stepped forward and patted her head. "Your mother is right, I am the older brother, not the older sister."

A seven-year-old girl, speaking her mind without restraint.

“But you are so beautiful, it seems like…” She looked up at Xiao Meiniang.

“She’s prettier than Mother.” Only Xiao Meiniang’s eyes were visible, but Lin Zhu knew she was smiling.

Lin Zhu looked at Yang Ruoxi and said, "Did your mother tell you that you're coming with me?"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Ruoxi nodded. "Mother said she'll go learn martial arts with you."

"Yes." Lin Zhu nodded with a smile. "Would you like to go?"

Yang Ruoxi looked up at Xiao Meiniang.

Xiao Meiniang also squatted down and asked, "What did I tell you before?"

“Alright.” Yang Ruoxi nodded and looked at Lin Zhu, saying, “Ruoxi is willing to go with her brother.”

Xiao Meiniang stood up and said to Lin Zhu, "Let's not delay, let's go."

Lin Zhu spread out his hands.

Yang Ruoxi naturally hugged him, sniffed him, and whispered, "You still say you're not my sister? You smell nice. Father smells bad."

Xiao Meiniang couldn't help but smile.

Lin Zhu picked up Yang Ruoxi and asked, "With such a thick fur coat covering it, can you still smell it?"

"Yeah, why?" Yang Ruoxi looked at Lin Zhu with a curious expression.

Lin Zhu sighed, not wanting to answer, and said to Xiao Meiniang, "I'm taking her away."

Xiao Meiniang bowed gracefully to Lin Zhuying and said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of Ruoxi from now on."

Lin Zhu nodded, looking curiously at Yang Ruoxi, who was nestled obediently in his arms. "Are you that Consort Yang?"

The Dragon Soul Sword flew out, and he took flight while holding Yang Ruoxi.

The golden dragon manifested, and Lin Zhu stood on its head, saying to Yang Ruoxi, "Say goodbye to your mother."

"Goodbye, Mother!"

Yang Ruoxi waved to Xiao Meiniang.

Xiao Meiniang waved her hand as well. She couldn't cry in the dead of winter, or her eyelids would stick together. "Goodbye. Remember to listen to your brother."

"Great!" It was Yang Ruoxi's first time standing in the air. Far from being afraid, she was actually quite excited and whispered, "We're flying!"

Lin Zhu waved to Xiao Meiniang, then slowly accelerated while controlling the Dragon Soul Sword.

Yang Ruoxi is still a child, so she can't go too fast all at once.

At the same time, it is also necessary to protect against the wind.

On the dragon's head, Yang Ruoxi asked, "Brother, can I see down there?"
