Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"Moreover, the concubine of Master Yu is very likely hiding in the Hehuan Sect. Since I have the Hehuan Saintess as a channel, my intelligence channels will be wider!"

The members of Wuzhong don’t really understand each other, and some even fear each other.

Those who sacrificed themselves to avoid the catastrophe have now safely hidden themselves away, fearing that their colleagues will come to them to claim their lives and take their knives.

If Chu Wuzhi wanted to get in touch with more members of Wuzhong, his only target was Yu Shiqi.

"A blacksmith must be strong himself. To prevent the Master of the Witch Tomb from being shameless, I must be even stronger! I still need to practice. The members of the Witch Tomb, the evil cultivators of the demonic path... are all good whetstones."

Chu Wuji was almost done meditating when he stood up and looked at the fishing rod, only to find that the bait had been stolen by the fish.

Damn it!

He replenished the bait and continued to meditate, but this time he was pondering the human body map of Kunlun Ruins and the "Heavenly Eye Technique" he performed in a panic.

This is exactly in line with the topic of retreat we talked about before. Once you get into the state, it is easy to forget the time.

When Chu Wuji came back to his senses from his meditation, ten days had already passed.

He looked towards the river, where a girl in a green dress was sitting and fishing. She had a slim back and round, smooth buttocks. From a distance, he could hear the splash of water as fish bit the hook.

Such a big splash, and it’s a big fish!

Chu Wuji couldn't bear to see his aunt doing so well, so he walked over and spoke loudly on purpose, intending to scare Yu'er away, saying:

"Auntie, you're really good at fishing!"

Aunt Green Snake held the fishing rod in her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she hooked the rod directly into the fish's flesh and dragged it ashore.

This is not a case of willing take the bait, it's a forced one!

When Aunt Green Snake saw that Chu Wuji had woken up, she stopped fishing. She was just doing it because she was bored.

"Have you gone home yet? Your 'Heavenly Eye Technique' is quite annoying to practice. I saw your forehead glowing like a lantern in the middle of the night."

Chu Wuji really didn't know that he had this reaction, and he devoted himself to improving himself.

"Okay, let's go back. I originally only planned to rest for two or three days, but I didn't expect time to pass so quickly."

When Mrs. Jiang heard Chu Wuzhi waking up, she walked slowly to his side. Seeing that the boy looked much better, the beautiful woman felt relieved.

"Madam Jiang, I'm really sorry for making you wait here for so long. Next time if you feel bored, you can ask Madam Baihu to take you back first. There are two maids in the palace to accompany you!" Chu Wuzhi said.

But this is just talk. If Mrs. Jiang wants to go back early, Queen Fox will probably be the first one to disagree.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm very comfortable staying in this Mountain Monarch Cave, and I can also listen to the guidance of the Sky Fox Goddess."

Chu Wuji came to Madam Baihu again and invited her:

"Madam Baihu, would you like to go with us to the palace to visit Xiaotu? Let's get used to being away from home in advance."

Mrs. Baihu had transformed back into a big white tiger after coming out of the bath. She thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, I'll go visit Xiaotu in a couple of days. I think she's having a great time.

By the way, recently a team from the Tianji Nation took the mountain road to the Lihuo Nation. It was quite a big event, and they looked to be distinguished figures from the Tianji Nation."

"Take the mountain road?" Chu Wuji was puzzled.

For normal diplomatic exchanges, it is much more convenient to take the official roads. The Tianji Kingdom does not have the power of a mountain god, and it has to escort distinguished people. Wouldn’t the nobles’ buttocks be numb from the bumps on the mountain road?

"They were escorted by a group of extraordinary people, and their speed was faster than that of carriages and horses. They probably wanted to reach Lihuo Capital quickly, but they didn't want to cause disturbance and onlookers among the people on the official road."

Chu Wuji still didn't understand, he didn't care too much:

"Then I'll go back to the capital to see what's going on. If it's something interesting, Madam Baihu will come to Prince Jing'an's Mansion in a few days and I'll share it with you~"

Chapter 384 It turns out that I am the one who makes fun

Chu Wuji returned to the capital and asked passers-by whether any foreign envoys had arrived recently, but the people and shop owners said they didn't know.

This made Chu Wuji wonder: "Could it be a surprise attack, a secret one?"

He didn't take it too seriously. Based on his understanding of the Lihuo Kingdom, even without the support of the immortals, the Lihuo Kingdom would still be able to gain a foothold among the other countries and would not be affected by a surprise attack.

"To prevent the trouble from getting too serious, we should talk to Queen Wen and have her take a message back to the palace to be on high alert."

He accompanied Madam Jiang back to Prince Jing'an's Mansion, and Madam Jiang discovered something different.

"There are new people living in the mansion over there. I don't know which family has moved to the capital." Mrs. Jiang pointed to a mansion diagonally opposite the Jing'an Palace.

The location of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion is naturally in the prosperous capital city, but far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The surrounding area is the residential area for kings, nobles, and aristocratic families.

"It seems to be true." Chu Wuzhi took a look and found that some people had really moved in.

The mansion was not uninhabited in the past. There were always more than a dozen servants working there to keep it busy and clean. Otherwise, after being left unattended for a long time, the garden buildings would have fallen into disrepair very quickly and would have required huge amounts of money to rebuild, and even then it would have been difficult to restore them to 80% of their original state.

Now she is indeed living in a certain family, with maids and guards all there. There are not many of them, but they are all capable.

"Okay, Madam Jiang, don't worry about that. If someone moves in, then they can. Let's go back to the palace and sit down first."

"Ah."

The mature and happy young woman with animal ears nodded slightly, followed Chu Wuji, knocked on the door and entered the palace.

When she came back this time, Xiao Yaoer did not perform the familiar act of a young swallow throwing itself into a man's arms. She ran to Chu Wuzhi, pouting her little mouth and looking at him with tearful eyes.

Chu Wuji was puzzled and asked nervously, "Yao'er, why are you crying? What wronged you?"

He suspected that the little rabbits were playing around, but the little tiger girl was holding a large summer watermelon and munching on it. She was in a stable mood and seemed to have no interest in playing around, but was just busy with her greed.

The delicate and graceful little Princess Yao'er raised her arms and asked Chu Wuji to hug her. After lying on his shoulder, she explained:

"My mother and aunt said that my brother is going to marry a princess! From now on, he will love the princess who is marrying and not Yao'er."

The white snake and the green snake both poked their little heads out from Chu Wuji's collar. Snake Xinzi kissed Yao'er's face to comfort her, but they were completely confused.

Even if the sky falls, I would never have thought that Chu Wuji would want to marry a foreign princess. Who would dare to give him such a task?

Madam Jiang also didn't understand: "Yao'er, you can't talk about this casually."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Aunt Queen said that this was the order from the Holy Queen!" In Yao'er's heart, the Holy Queen Lihuo is the highest authority in the country who has the final say.

Chu Wuzhi walked into the house holding Yao'er in one hand, and when he passed by Xiaotu, he picked her up as well.

Madam Jiang trotted to Chu Wuji's side, her conservative high collar fluttering like water, perfectly displaying her womanly warmth and tolerance. She said:

"Let me hold Xiaotu, or you'll get tired."

Chu Wuji knew that Madam Jiang liked these two girls, but he advised:

"Let's wait for Xiaotu to finish eating the melon, otherwise it will definitely dirty Madam Jiang's clothes~"

It's funny to say, Xiaotu is very determined when eating meat, and eats very quickly. People watching are afraid that she will choke. However, she is much slower when eating fruits and vegetables. She also opens her mouth wide to bite, but each time she only causes a small bite on the watermelon, which is very funny and cute.

From the perspective of strength, it is actually because the fruits and vegetables cannot be torn, so Tiger Girl's natural bite force is of no use.

But Mrs. Jiang didn't understand so much. She just thought that the little rabbit was naive and very pleasing.

At this moment, Xiaotu finally finished eating the watermelon. She unbuttoned Chu Wuji's robe, gently pulled out his shirt inside to wipe her mouth and remove the watermelon juice.

"Wow, Xiaotu, you girl, do you still know not to dirty my outer robe?" Chu Wuzhi said.

Xiaotu nodded proudly, and was very concerned about her little friend. She continued to pull Chu Wuzhi's clothes and helped Yaoer wipe away the tears.

Chu Wuzhi put Xiaotu in Madam Jiang's arms, and they went to the hall together. They found Princess Jing'an and quickly learned about this sudden marriage.

Princess Jing'an was also surprised by Chu Wuji's reaction and said:

"The Tianji Kingdom sent you a princess as a marriage partner to curry your favor. Don't listen to Yao'er's nonsense... Wuji, don't you know about this?"

The princess explained the marriage to her daughter, but Wen Yaoer didn't understand and insisted that Chu Wuji was going to Tianji Kingdom for marriage.

The reason was that a certain black-hearted Queen Aunt was trying to scare the little girl.

"I don't know. I haven't had much contact with the Tianji Kingdom." Chu Wuji was confused and quickly recalled what had happened along the way.

Excluding the realm of immortals, the place where he stayed the longest was Ganglie Town. Wouldn't this be enough to attract the attention of the royal family of Tianji Kingdom?

After thinking about it, Chu Wuzhi felt that the problem lay with the Fish Priest.

Chu Wuji had no interest in this unexpected marriage candidate and said:

"Can you send him back? Why didn't you ask for my opinion and just sent him here..."

Queen Wen was just in the inner room. She was not going out today and was too lazy to dress up. When she heard that Chu Wuji had returned, she asked her maid to help her dress up and change clothes. She only appeared at this time.

"It's fine for Wu Ji to reject this marriage proposal, but if he sends her back, I'm afraid that won't work." The graceful and elegant queen appeared, and the hall was filled with a dazzling and elegant beauty.

"Why?"

"Looking at what Tianji Country is saying, they're planning to keep the princess here as a hostage to prevent conflict between the two countries. Unless there are only two of us left here, it won't be our turn to attack anyone else."

"..."

After Chu Wuji pondered deeply, he vaguely knew the reason. It was probably because his battle with the Wuzhong members caught the attention of Yu Jijiu, who regarded him as the trump card of Lihuo Country and was wary of him, so he directly offered him a marriage to make peace.

After analyzing the situation with Queen Wen and others, they all agreed with his guess.

"This is too decisive. They are a powerful country that ranks among the top. How can they just agree to a marriage and bow their heads so easily?" Chu Wuji still found it unbelievable.

Who would have thought that upon returning to Lihuo Capital, the news I heard was this...

Queen Wen replied:

"It should be said that the stronger the development, the easier it is to see clearly on some key issues, so as to avoid sabotaging the development efforts of many years due to insignificant emotions."

Princess Jing'an put it more bluntly:

"The main reason is that Wu Ji's current power is a bit excessive at the national level, and unlike the immortals, there are not so many restrictions. If you, Wu Ji, appeared in Tianji Country, the one who should be worried now is Lihuo Country.

Perhaps even Empress Wen will arrange for you to marry her."

Under normal circumstances, Queen Wen would have refuted the princess's ridicule, but this time she remained silent, as if she was willing to sacrifice herself, saying, "If Wu Ji really rises in the Tianji Kingdom, then I can only accept the humiliation of marrying into the country."

Wen Yaoer fluttered in Chu Wuji's arms and said:

"Then I will go to marry my brother. If it's not my brother, I won't go!"

Xiaotu hadn't understood what they were saying these past few days. She didn't know what they were so anxious about, so she said in confusion:

"What kind of chicken is 'Di Ji'? Is it short for free-range chicken? And what is 'Heqin'? Is it a technique for kneading dough?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled like an aunt and explained to her patiently. After Xiaotu listened for a long time, she caught the key word "the marriage can have a banquet".

Chu Wuji scratched his head and said:

"I definitely won't agree to the marriage proposal from Tianji Country, but since they're here because of me, I'll go meet them anyway and express my opinion."

Madam Jiang speculated, "Is it the family across from the palace who just moved to the capital?"

Queen Wen nodded helplessly, shrugged her fair shoulders, and said:

"It's not just one family. The Tianji Kingdom has made quite a thorough investigation and settled directly across from the Jing'an Palace."

...Yu Jijiu mentioned the "Idle Prince's Mansion" at the time, so how could he not know the address? There's no shortage of intelligence gathering between these countries!

Chu Wuji wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but after thinking for a while, he stood up and prepared to go out:

"Since I'm right across the street, I'll go show up and express my attitude."

Princess Jing'an wanted Chu Wuji to rest first, so she said with concern:

"There's no need to be so anxious, right?"

"It'll only take a little while, it won't take much time, and there's this marriage issue that has happened out of nowhere. If I don't deal with it, I'll always feel like something's undone and I won't feel at ease~"

After Chu Wuji finished speaking, he remembered what he had said before leaving the Mountain Monarch Cave. He had planned to share the fun with Madam White Tiger, but for a long time he was the only one...

Wen Yaoer was afraid that her brother had been deceived, so she said in a strong voice:

"I'll go with my brother, Yao'er will help him take control!"

Chapter 385 This Princess Is a Little Too Young

In fact, not to mention Chu Wuji, even the princess and others were very curious.

After the princess from Tianji Kingdom came here, Princess Jing'an had never met her, but Queen Wen had met her once. As a member of the royal family whose status was second only to the Queen of Lihuo, it was reasonable for her to approach the envoy of the neighboring country.

Princess Jing'an asked her out of curiosity yesterday, but Empress Wen started to pretend.
