After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Mu Qinghe held Xu Ze's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from his palm, and finally felt a sense of peace in her heart.

Her brother really came to save her!

That's great.

In the darkness of night, two figures moved like ghosts, quietly leaving the palace that had imprisoned her for so long.

On the bed, the puppet lay quietly, just as always.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Phoenix Palace.

Empress Dowager Mu Yan leaned against the phoenix couch.

She had been resting with her eyes closed, but the moment Xu Ze led Mu Qinghe through the palace walls and barriers, her fingers trembled almost imperceptibly.

A pair of tightly closed phoenix eyes slowly opened, and deep within them seemed to hold the passage of time.

Mu Yan looked in a certain direction outside the palace, her gaze piercing through layers of palace walls, landing precisely on that fleeting, faint shadow.

"You're here?"

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice so low it was almost inaudible, yet it carried a certain all-knowing calmness.

There was also a hint of fervor about to burst forth.

"I've missed you so much..."

But Mu Yan did not move.

He did not order an interception, nor did he personally pursue the enemy, and not even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation was released.

She sat there quietly, her gaze distant, as if she were simply admiring the scenery outside the window.

As the head of the harem.

At the very least, one must maintain a certain level of authority.

Moreover, Mu Yan knew that Xu Ze would definitely come back again.

after all.

The true form of the Heavenly Book is still within this palace.

"Next time you come, you're not allowed to leave!"

A very faint smile curved the corners of Mu Yan's lips.

The true form of that 'Heavenly Book' is still within the palace, under my control.

The fragment of the page that had been lost and obtained by Xu Ze was merely one of the 'keys'.

This is also why Mu Yan is so confident.

Whether it was the guidance of fate or the allure of the celestial book.

They will definitely bring Xu Ze back to their side.

"This 'strange fire' is indeed something only you can control."

The spiritual power within Mu Yan's body seemed to surge violently for a moment due to Xu Ze's arrival.

But soon, she directly suppressed him with her terrifying cultivation at the Mahayana stage.

Immediately, she slowly got up and walked to the window.

The moonlight, like water, shone on Mu Yan, casting a cool, silvery glow on her dark robe.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

……

The western part of the capital city is an affluent area.

The streets here are twice as wide as those in ordinary areas, and the ground is paved with whole pieces of white marble, as smooth as a mirror.

The mansions on both sides are magnificent, with vermilion gates and high walls, flying eaves and brackets, and stone lions or mythical beast sculptures in front of the gates, with faint array light flowing around them.

Xu Ze held Mu Qinghe's hand as they walked down this street.

The little princess has been completely transformed and now looks like a young lady from an ordinary wealthy family.

As they traveled together, Xu Ze had already told the little girl about what had happened in Beiju Luzhou and his current situation in Zhongzhou.

The other person didn't ask anything, but simply held her arm tightly.

"Brother, where are we going?" Mu Qinghe asked, looking up.

“Let’s buy a house,” Xu Ze said. “It wouldn’t be convenient for you to live with me in the Qin mansion.”

"Buying another house?" Mu Qinghe's eyes lit up. "Great! Qinghe can help brother choose one!"

Previously, when I was in Beiju Luzhou.

Xu Ze bought the house in Donghua City at cost price, and he lives there very comfortably.

I wonder how that little fox is doing now?

Mu Qinghe felt it was fine not to see her.

At least no one will be competing with me for my brother's affections!

As the two were talking, a commotion arose in front of a mansion ahead.

Xu Ze looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.

How much do you want in Chapter 140?

Not long ago.

Through Qin Yi's connections, Xu Ze found Wanbaoge, the largest brokerage firm in the capital.

He clearly expressed his desire to buy a house.

The young lady from the Prime Minister's residence immediately complied, demonstrating remarkable efficiency.

They soon learned some inside information.

In this wealthy area of ​​the capital, there really is a very grand mansion that has been empty for a long time.

The price is a bit high.

“Senior Xu, that house covers fifteen acres, has five courtyards and five entrances, and includes a spiritual spring and a martial arts training ground. It was originally the residence of Prince Kang of the previous dynasty.”

Qin Yi explained in detail, "Prince Kang had no heir. After his death, his residence was taken over by the royal family and has been idle for nearly twenty years. Now the Empress Dowager has ordered it to be sold. The starting price is... 18,000 high-grade spirit stones."

"Other prominent families have long coveted this house. The Qin family originally wanted to participate in the competition, but the price was too high, and since the senior wanted it, we gave up the opportunity to participate in the competition to the senior."

Xu Ze said, "I'm not short of money at all."

I want the most expensive one.

His storage bag was piled high with spirit stones, which were just sitting there anyway.

We have to spend a lot!

But unexpectedly, it turned out that we were destined to meet again.

"Oh, who do we have here?"

Xu Ze has just arrived.

Hu Zhilan was standing in front of the house, with several maids and servants beside her, as well as a middle-aged man with a goatee, who seemed to be the manager of the brokerage firm.

She was adorned with jewels today, pointing at the gate of the house and saying something, her expression haughty.

Seemingly sensing the gaze, Hu Zhilan turned her head.

Eyes facing each other.

She was taken aback at first, then her face revealed undisguised sarcasm:

"Isn't this that country bumpkin from the South Continent?"

"What, you can't fit any more room at the Qin residence, so you've come here to wander around?"

Her gaze swept over Mu Qinghe beside Xu Ze, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Although this young girl was simply dressed, her appearance was excessively exquisite.

Especially her eyes, clear and bright, which made people forget the mundane world.

Mu Qing and the Ninth Princess of the Dynasty had been living deep within the palace for a long time, and were not recognized by outsiders. Moreover, Xu Ze had specially concealed her appearance.

In addition, the [Immortal Concealment Talisman] also has the effect of concealing one's identity, preventing people from associating it with a princess.

"Which remote village did you abduct this sister from?" Hu Zhilan sneered. "Are all people from Nanzhou so fond of bringing their families to seek refuge with others?"

Mu Qinghe wrinkled her nose, shrank behind Xu Ze, and whispered, "Brother, this person is so unreasonable... I never thought there were such people in the Central Immortal Continent?"

Xu Ze patted her hand, signaling her not to be afraid, then looked at Hu Zhilan and said calmly:

"It's okay, dogs can be found everywhere."

"Who are you calling a dog?" The girl in the yellow dress immediately bristled.

Xu Ze sneered at this: "Whoever gets angry is a dog."

"You!" Hu Zhilan's pretty face flushed red with anger, her fingertips trembling. "A country bumpkin like you dares to be so insolent in front of me? Do you even know who my father is?!"

Who your father is is none of my business.

Xu Ze's tone remained calm, "It couldn't possibly be me, could it? I don't have an unfilial daughter like you."

"You, you..." Hu Zhilan was choked and speechless, her chest heaving violently.

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Xu Ze, he...

Hu Zhilan raised her chin and said, "The cheapest house in this wealthy area of ​​the West City costs five thousand mid-grade spirit stones, which is a full fifty high-grade spirit stones."

"You, a rogue cultivator from the Southern Continent, could possibly afford it? You probably can't even get your hands on it!"

Not long after, Cui Lin, the young master of the Cui family, also arrived.

As one of the four major families in the capital, the Cui family naturally coveted this former prince's residence.
