Chapter 246

Is this the Three Radiance Divine Water?

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool looked at Ao Yifan's jade bottle with shock; as one of the masters of the heavenly realm, she had naturally seen such a supreme treasure as the Three Radiance Divine Water.

But that was also a gift sent by the Chan Sect when she and Haotian first took over the heavenly court; there were only nine drops, and in the end they had to be split evenly with the August Jade Emperor.

Even this was a rare treasure; ultimately it was awarded as a reward to those who had rendered service.

But now you tell me that this entire bottle in Ao Yifan's hand is actually all Three Radiance Divine Water?

Yeah, refining this stuff is quite a hassle, but fortunately your little treasury, Mother-in-law, has enough materials; otherwise I wouldn't be able to easily produce it.

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

Are you planning to give it as a betrothal gift to Haotian?

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool gazed intently at the jade bottle in Ao Yifan's hand, feeling that giving such a treasure to Haotian would be too wasteful.

"How come? Mother-in-law also wants it?"

Ao Yifan opened the lid of the jade bottle, and in an instant, a three-colored halo rose from within the jade bottle.

"If Mother-in-law wants it, just call out nicely, and I, the son-in-law, will gladly present it with both hands!"

Facing Ao Yifan's teasing gaze, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool naturally knew what scheme he had in mind.

"Hmph!"

She let out a cold snort, turned her head away, preferring to not see him, yet unwilling to comply with Ao Yifan's wishes.

But the next moment, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool felt a chill on her face; looking up, she saw Ao Yifan sprinkling the priceless Three-Light Divine Water onto her face.

"You……"

The temptation of the supreme treasure finally made the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool……

……

"Father, this is the betrothal gift my husband painstakingly sought; are you still not satisfied?"

Princess Longji said somewhat discontentedly.

Looking at the half-bottle of Three-Light Divine Water in his hand, the Heavenly Emperor could not help but admit that he was indeed moved.

He also admitted that this son-in-law of his had some talent.

But whenever he thought of his sister Yunhua, the Heavenly Emperor could not feel happy.

"Forget it!"

He waved his hand, accepted the half-bottle of Three-Light Divine Water, and said, "Three days from now, I'll make up a heavenly wedding feast for you; go ahead!"

The Heavenly Emperor indicated that he was truly tired.

There was no way; the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool, who should have stood united with him, suddenly turned against him and fully supported Ao Yifan, this convenient son-in-law.

Without the support of the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool, he alone could not manage Ao Yifan's side.

Moreover, according to the intelligence gathered over this period, Ao Yifan, his sister, and his daughter's children all possess considerable talent.

Especially Ao Qian, who at a young age already has the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and with his myriad divine abilities, will surely become a great general of the heavenly realm in the future.

Therefore, out of consideration for this nephew's face, the Heavenly Emperor decided not to make things difficult for Ao Yifan.

"Thank you, elder brother!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

Immortal Yunhua and Princess Longji exchanged a glance, then bowed to the Heavenly Emperor.

At the same time, Ao Yifan felt that the heavenly fate upon him, as well as the last trace of estrangement, had vanished.

After all, he is the brother-in-law and son-in-law personally acknowledged by the Heavenly Emperor; from now on, he can be considered a proper member of the heavenly realm.

"The fortunes of the three realms—heaven, earth, and the underworld—are united in my person; my efforts have finally borne fruit!"

Ao Yifan's face showed a hint of relief.

Not long after, the news that the Heavenly Emperor's sister and daughter would both marry the same person, and that a heavenly wedding feast would soon be held, spread throughout the three realms.

At the same time, the immortals qualified to attend the feast also received invitations one after another.

……

"I never expected the big boss to approve so quickly; I wonder what benefit he gave the big boss."

In the human world, in Chaoge City's palace, Venus received the invitation and couldn't help muttering.

After saying that, Venus raised his head, looked toward Queen Jiang, who was feeding pastries to Huo Ling'er, and said, "Lord Moon, there's business in heaven calling me back; could you let me go?"

Upon hearing that, Queen Jiang glanced at Venus and said, "This is merely one of your avatars; destroying it would suffice—why bother having me release you?"

"Er……"

Hearing that, Venus's face showed an embarrassed hue as he said, "Even if it's an avatar, the materials to craft one are still costly; these years the heavenly court's stipends are tight, you see……"

"Forget it!"

Queen Jiang waved her hand and said, "Considering you tricked my sister into coming, I'll let you off this time—but if there's a next time, I certainly won't be lenient."

Saying that, Queen Jiang waved her hand, lifted the restraint on Venus, then immediately scooped up the sated Huo Ling'er and walked into the inner chamber.

After glancing at the inner room, Venus shook his head, sighed, and then chose to run away in a most unrighteous manner.

There was no way; she hadn't lied just now.

These years the heavenly court's stipends have indeed been tight; even the Heavenly Emperor has had to tighten his belt to get by.

Therefore, even though it's merely an avatar, Venus cares about it greatly and will not easily discard it.

"Queen Sister, you've come; this woman is indeed tough—none of the moves I learned from the Prince Consort have managed to subdue her."

Seeing Queen Jiang enter holding Huo Ling'er, Consort Huang set down the magical treasure in her hand and said to Queen Jiang,

"Mother!"

Huo Ling'er, seeing her mother, immediately leapt from Queen Jiang's embrace and ran over on her short little legs.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Looking at Xi He, whose face bore a hint of red, Huo Ling'er asked with concern.

"Mother, I'm fine!"

Xi He shook her head, then turned to look at Queen Jiang and said, "Chang Xi, are you really going to be my enemy?"

"Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Queen Jiang feigned surprise, then handed a cup of tea to Xi He.

Feeling a little thirsty, Xi He didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip.

There was no way she could have imagined that she and Tai Bai Jin Xing would sneak into the palace, only to find that Queen Jiang had set up the Great Array of the Heavenly Stars throughout the palace.

Moreover, a large part of the array diagram touched on Xi He's blind spot in knowledge, which she could not possibly decipher.

Of course, if it were only the Great Array of the Heavenly Stars, though troublesome, with Xi He's strength she would not be in such a sorry state.

However, Xi He never expected that Queen Jiang held in her hand a magic treasure capable of mobilizing the Human Emperor's qi fortune, which could forcibly suppress her.

Facing that magic treasure, Xi He's strength was reduced to a tenth, and she easily fell under Queen Jiang's control.

Now her cultivation was sealed, and she even had to endure humiliation from the woman beside her; thinking of this made Xi He hate her so much her teeth itched.

It's all that stupid son's fault—if he hadn't dragged me out of seclusion, I wouldn't have run into so much trouble!

A certain crow locked in a cage was likewise unable to cry, tears dried up.
