Chapter 172: My name is A-Mei, and I am a Soft-Bone Charm Rabbit

As a Son of Luck, Lin Mo naturally didn't want to kneel and pay respects to the Emperor, so he hid in the shadows and didn't go out.

"Strange, why would the Emperor appear here?"

Lin Mo had a somewhat bad premonition.

However, Jiang Rong had said that the Jiang family had an Imperial Consort and belonged to the Imperial relatives, so the Emperor's appearance was also very normal.

Lin Mo hoped he was overthinking it and that it wasn't the situation in his mind.

From Lin Mo's perspective, Li Chen should have just arrived in Shanghe City.

As for what purpose the Emperor had in coming to Shanghe City, Lin Mo didn't want to know; he just hoped the Emperor would leave quickly and not ruin his good things.

Immediately following, Lin Mo secretly began to observe the Emperor Li Chen from afar.

Li Chen arrived in the living room, and Jiang Rong's mother, Xie Minjun, stood up to pour tea for Li Chen. Even though Lin Mo felt somewhat envious, this was very normal; after all, the other party was at least the Emperor.

Next, another stunning beauty appeared; hearing it, it seemed to be an Imperial Consort, which was the Emperor's woman.

Lin Mo thought to himself, the Emperor truly had good taste.

Li Chen chatted in the hall for a while, then took the Imperial Consort into the room to rest.

As of now, everything was normal; this was the scene Lin Mo observed from the shadows.

It was getting late, and since the Emperor had already returned to his room, Lin Mo also intended to return to his woodshed to rest.

But just at this moment, the appearance of a figure made Lin Mo start to become vigilant.

Looking at this figure, it should be the Jiang Fu's young daughter-in-law, Dong Zhiqing; it was said that her husband had already passed away.

Just now, Lin Mo had fantasies about her.

But why did Dong Zhiqing appear here?

Lin Mo suddenly slapped his head; he only then remembered that Dong Zhiqing's room was nearby, and appearing here was very normal; she should also be returning to her room to rest.

Just as Lin Mo figured it out, he saw Dong Zhiqing enter the Emperor's room.

This left Lin Mo full of question marks.

At this time of night, what was the Jiang family's young daughter-in-law doing entering the Emperor's room?

Perhaps there was something to say to the Emperor, Lin Mo could only think this way.

But Dong Zhiqing didn't come out of the room for a long time, which gave Lin Mo the idea of going up to investigate.

Just as he was preparing to act, he saw the beautiful lady Jiang Ningyue, whom he had fantasized about countless times in his dreams, appear.

The clothes Jiang Ningyue was wearing were very beautiful, making Lin Mo, who was observing from the shadows, feel that it was a feast for the eyes.

This was the benefit of being a servant at the Jiang Fu; he could see these stunning beauties.

Lin Mo hadn't watched for long before the beautiful lady Jiang Ningyue disappeared from his sight.

He was stunned on the spot, because the beautiful lady entered the Emperor's room.

The beautiful lady's daughter-in-law had just gone in, and now why was she going in too?

A sense of unease began to spread in Lin Mo's heart.

Could it be?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo shook his head, feeling it was unlikely; these two looked like very chaste and proud women; it should be impossible for them to be so shallow.

In order to confirm his thoughts, Lin Mo quietly came to the side of the door, preparing to find out the truth.

But before he even got close, he heard the sounds coming from inside.

Lin Mo's heart seemed to fall to the bottom of a lake in an instant, and his fantasies about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Jiang Ningyue, were directly shattered.

At this moment, he definitely knew what had happened inside.

He couldn't understand; this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were actually serving in bed?

If it were one, he might be able to accept it, but this was two!

I only dared to think about this in my dreams; Li Chen could actually play like this?

At this very moment, Lin Mo's heart was incomparably filled with emotion and a little bit of loss.

It was as if something that should have belonged to him had been snatched away by someone else.

Especially since he was eavesdropping here, he knew how proactive the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were.

This was something Lin Mo couldn't envy.

The appearance of footsteps scared Lin Mo into quickly finding a place to hide.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast; otherwise, he would have truly been discovered.

But seeing this person who came from the shadows, Lin Mo was shocked.

Wasn't this his own mother-in-law, the beautiful mature woman Xie Minjun?

In the eyes of a Son of Luck like Lin Mo, Jiang Rong should already belong to his woman, so the mature woman Xie Minjun was his mother-in-law.

Seeing his mother-in-law coming over, Lin Mo shouted inwardly: Don't enter the Emperor's room! Don't enter the Emperor's room!

Sometimes things just go against one's wishes; what one fears is what comes.

Without exception, Lin Mo's mother-in-law also entered Li Chen's room.

With Xie Minjun's plump and full figure, Lin Mo didn't even dare to think about what it felt like.

But the problem was, that Emperor named Li Chen could actually possess it!

"Damn it, why is this happening!"

Lin Mo, who was listening to the sounds outside, felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.

His heart was even gloomier than the sky.

After a while, Lin Mo cheered up; at least his goddess wasn't that kind of person.

As long as Jiang Rong didn't come, Lin Mo could still accept it.

Anyway, other women were just his fantasies when he was bored; only Jiang Rong was his goal.

After a few hours, he still hadn't discovered Jiang Rong's figure.

Lin Mo's heart finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had a thought: "I knew she wasn't that kind of person."

After cursing those three women for being shameless in his heart, Lin Mo intended to leave; he couldn't just keep listening here.

The next second, Lin Mo felt that he should have left earlier; if he had left earlier, he might not have seen this scene.

It wasn't that Jiang Rong wasn't coming; she had just finished her work and hurried over.

Looking like that, she seemed to have run over, adjusted her emotions at the door, and only then walked in.

Pain! Too painful!

Lin Mo only felt a heart-wrenching pain; his whole heart was broken.

It hurt so much he couldn't breathe.

Lin Mo gnashed his teeth in anger, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He had a feeling that he had been cheated on.

I've worked so hard for so long, and coming to the Jiang family, I can only listen to the sounds?

If Xiao Ming knew he thought this way, he would definitely say: It's good enough that you can listen; I can't even hear it!

Lin Mo felt the most ridiculous thing was that even if these ladies and misses of the Jiang Fu showed signs of being coerced, he could understand.

But the problem was, they were still proactive; what kind of situation is this!

Lin Mo didn't feel he was very bad; he was just not as handsome as Li Chen, his strength was not as strong as Li Chen's, and his status was not as high as Li Chen's. Besides that, he was not completely useless!

Unable to figure it out, Lin Mo had no choice but to return to his room in low spirits and solve the problem himself.

The next day, when the other two servants came to the Jiang family, they asked Lin Mo how he spent last night and why his complexion wasn't very good.

Lin Mo made up a random reason, indicating that he had cultivated too much and his body was uncomfortable.

He couldn't tell you people what I heard last night, could he?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo still had a bit of inexplicable pride.

At least I can hear it, and you two can't!

Anyway, Lin Mo had to find a reason to comfort himself; this was the reason.

After breakfast, the three servants began to do some miscellaneous work.

In the hall of the Jiang Fu, Li Chen was enjoying a delicious breakfast.

At the dining table, the relationship between the mother and daughter and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jiang Fu was also becoming closer and closer.

Before, it couldn't be said that they were opposed to each other, but they also had their own small circles.

Now, because of Li Chen's reasonable mediation, it was also very, very harmonious.

However, Li Chen still had things to do today; there were still a few days until the Immortal Ancient Spirit Lake event, so he intended to resolve the matter of Xie Minjun colluding with demons.

Anyway, since he was idle, he had been in this world for a while; Li Chen had indeed seen many demonic beasts, but he hadn't seen the demon race yet.

Xie Minjun began to tell some things about the demon race.

Powerful demonic beasts would eat some heaven-and-earth treasures that could transform their forms and change into the appearance of humans.

Here, demonic beasts would have two choices.

The first was to retain their own strength, intending to quickly break through to a higher realm.

Then there would be demonic aura on their bodies, making it easy for human cultivators to detect them.

So this type of demon race would find ways to hide themselves.

But at least it was a human appearance; if it weren't for powerful cultivators, they wouldn't be able to detect it.

Generally, passing through certain places, people nearby wouldn't care too much.

The second was naturally to disperse their strength and cultivate starting from an ordinary person.

Because they were originally powerful demonic beasts, if their bloodline was powerful, to a certain extent, it was equivalent to a cultivator with a Sage Body.

The speed of cultivation was naturally fast; this kind of demon race was not easy to be detected.

But becoming an ordinary person, if there was no reliance, it was very likely to be beaten to death in cruel competition; the risk was still relatively large.

The demon race Xie Minjun knew was the first type.

Last time, the Zixiao Tiangong sent experts to encircle and suppress them, and this demon powerhouse luckily escaped. However, Xie Minjun had a way to find her; in order to avenge her late husband, she found this demon powerhouse and provided the demon powerhouse with some cultivation materials, and she agreed to help.

Speaking of this, Xie Minjun used a sorrowful tone: "Your Majesty, that demon race is very loyal and hasn't done anything harmful to heaven and reason; I ask Your Majesty to show mercy."

Xie Minjun knew that with Li Chen's level of action, the demon race she knew would definitely be executed.

But that demon race had always been helping her, and she didn't want to betray a friend.

This was a matter of principle.

As the Emperor, Li Chen naturally understood why the May Tian Ce Dynasty treated colluding with demons as a major crime.

Of course, he asked Lin Yue'e yesterday, and Lin Yue'e told him.

As everyone knew, powerful demonic beasts were full of treasures; catching a demon race that had turned into a human could bring benefits, but these were secondary.

The most critical thing was that some demon races mixed into the human race just to eat people.

This kind of thing was something the human race absolutely could not tolerate.

So as long as a demon race was caught, they were basically handled directly.

!

Those who helped the demon race would also be treated as colluding with demons.

Let alone the May Tian Ce Dynasty, other dynasties were the same.

Once these demon races couldn't be controlled, the consequences would be endless.

So the continent's anti-demon policy had always been very clear: you can keep demonic beasts, but not the demon race.

But rules were rules; there was one type of person who could be excluded, and that was the human supreme of the Sage Realm.

These people had the right to independent judgment and could make decisions themselves to a certain extent.

If a Sage Realm person wanted to keep a demon race, they could still do it; after all, they could control them.

In order to let Li Chen show mercy, Xie Minjun began to tell the story of this demon race.

"Your Majesty, I only know a little bit about the story of that demon powerhouse; I ask Your Majesty to listen."

Hearing a story, Li Chen felt a headache.

He still remembered that when Lin Yue'e first told him a story, she told it from the moment she was born.

He was prepared to listen to a long story, but Xie Minjun just briefly said that the demon powerhouse turned into a human form to protect her daughter, preserved her strength, and had always been in the sect, never harming anyone.

"That's it?" Li Chen asked suspiciously.

"Yes, when she was in the sect before, she didn't have much contact with us. The cultivation resources she wanted us to offer were just grass and fruit types; it seems she is a vegetarian demon race and doesn't eat meat." Xie Minjun answered seriously.

"Then what is her strength?"

"It should be the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm."

This strength was indeed the strongest realm below the Sage Realm; some small sects might not even have such a powerhouse.

Perhaps from Li Chen's perspective, the Heavenly Abyss Realm didn't count for much.

But when the Second Prince showed his cultivation of the Observing Heaven Realm, it had already surprised countless court officials.

The number of Sage Realm people in the May Tian Ce Dynasty was just that many, and it was already considered very many on the continent.

The Sage Realm wasn't that easy to appear; the latest Sage Realm person was still the old man of the Wu family.

The so-called Golden Great Age had started, but that was just the starting stage; it would only be a true great age when most Sons of Luck cultivated to the Sage Realm.

Li Chen was actually about the same age as Sons of Luck like Xiao Ming and Lin Mo, but he cultivated too fast while staying at home, so he became the boss in everyone's eyes.

Xie Minjun didn't know who the demon powerhouse's daughter was; this was also a means for the demon powerhouse to protect her daughter.

However, Xie Minjun knew one thing: the demon powerhouse wouldn't leave this place even after her identity was exposed; it should be because her daughter was nearby.

From her account, Li Chen felt that this demon race should indeed be a vegetarian, but some things, how could one know without seeing them with one's own eyes?

Seeming to see through Li Chen's thoughts, or perhaps not wanting her benefactor to be harmed, Xie Minjun came to Li Chen's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, that demon powerhouse is extremely beautiful. The Sage Realm has special privileges and can keep demon races; why don't you take her in, Your Majesty?"

Li Chen took a look at Xie Minjun and said: "How does she compare to you?"

Xie Minjun patted her full chest and guaranteed: "Only bigger, not smaller!"

"Good, good, good, then I'll go take a look at what 'only bigger, not smaller' means; if she's smaller, see how I punish you!"

Li Chen originally intended to say that demon races couldn't be allowed to mix into the human territory, and as the Emperor, he had to ensure the safety of the people.

But that kind of talk was only for when there were more people around; here, they were all his own people, so he simply stopped pretending.

Xie Minjun secretly apologized to that demon powerhouse in her heart: Good sister, it's not that I'm selling you out; I'm also saving you!

After breakfast, and after letting the Jiang family's young daughter-in-law Dong Zhiqing serve him well, Li Chen left the Jiang family with Xie Minjun.

On a hillside in the north outside Shanghe City, there was a hidden small temple.

This was the place where Xie Minjun and the demon powerhouse met.

She originally intended to wait for news before returning, but because she encountered Ding Tianming's scheme, she returned early and gave herself to Li Chen.

Ding Tianming could also be considered to have helped Li Chen in a roundabout way.

Without him, Li Chen wouldn't have had such a good experience.

In fact, it should have been the opportunity of the Son of Luck Lin Mo; who would have thought that Li Chen would pass by and intercept it all.

Perhaps even if Li Chen said it, no one would believe it: I really just passed by.

Li Chen arrived in the depths of the northern woods and saw a dilapidated small temple.

The temple door was half-closed, and the door axis made a harsh creaking sound due to years of disrepair.

Walking into the temple, the light was dim, and only a few rays of sunlight passed through the broken tiles, dappling the dusty ground.

The air was filled with the smell of dampness and mold.

The statue of the deity enshrined in the temple had broken in half, having long lost its former majesty.

Xie Minjun was looking for a mark here; if that demon powerhouse had been here, she would definitely have left a mark according to the agreement.

After searching for a while, Xie Minjun saw a mark carved recently on the eaves.

Different marks also had different meanings; many sects had their own marks.

Some were being followed, or needed support, and would all make corresponding marks.

The mark Xie Minjun saw showed that the demon powerhouse told her that her enemy had been killed and she needed to pay the subsequent reward.

Having avenged her great hatred, she was naturally very happy, so she took a jade flute from her bosom and began to play.

A strange fluctuation spread out, seeming to trigger some kind of resonance.

Li Chen watched her playing the flute and understood that her daughter had indeed inherited a certain talent from her; Li Chen had a deep understanding of this point.

After a while, a woman with excellent temperament walked into the small temple.

The woman was wearing a white long dress, and her age seemed to be around thirty.

A head of azure long hair was draped behind her, possessing a beauty that was like the essence of heaven and earth.

Beautiful enough to be suffocating; in an instant, everything else lost its color.

The point was, Li Chen felt Xie Minjun hadn't lied; this woman was indeed "only bigger, not smaller."

Seeing the strange face in the temple, the woman was very guarded.

She asked Xie Minjun with her eyes what exactly was going on.

"Sister, you don't need to be nervous; this is the Emperor of our May Tian Ce Dynasty in the Sage Realm."

Xie Minjun came to the side of the demon powerhouse; these words seemed to want to make her relax a little.

But it would have been better if she hadn't said it; once she did, the demon powerhouse was even more shocked.

What do you mean! Bringing a Sage Realm person is enough! He is also the Emperor?

I haven't offended you either; you are trying to kill me!

When the demon powerhouse intended to escape, a powerful force covered her, locking her firmly here.

The demon powerhouse determined at this time that the person in front of her was not only in the Sage Realm but not an ordinary Sage Realm person.

Having such momentum in every move, that was a powerful existence.

It's over; the May Tian Ce Dynasty's official policy is to kill all demon races; now that she's been caught by the Emperor, isn't she dead for sure?

Despair and unwillingness gradually appeared in the demon powerhouse's eyes.

Facing a Sage Realm person of Li Chen's level, she couldn't even move.

She didn't understand why Xie Minjun wanted to sell her out.

Xie Minjun hurriedly began to explain: "Sister, you misunderstood; His Majesty has a broad mind and, upon learning that you only eat vegetables, came over just to confirm it."

Speaking of this, Li Chen withdrew his momentum, and the demon powerhouse let out a sigh of relief, only then being able to move.

She looked at this extraordinary Emperor while continuing to listen to Xie Minjun's explanation.

Xie Minjun explained the matter of their transaction being known to others; when Li Chen learned that she had stayed in this dangerous place to protect her daughter, he was also deeply impressed, so he stopped the government soldiers' investigation and came up to ask personally.

Then she kept saying how good Li Chen was, saying Li Chen was different from other Emperors.

If you explain things clearly to Li Chen and get Li Chen's special permission, you won't have to hide like this in the future.

And His Majesty is in the Sage Realm; if you rely on His Majesty, you can even seek benefits for your daughter.

This statement by Xie Minjun moved the demon powerhouse somewhat, because her soft spot was indeed her daughter; as long as she could do good for her daughter, she could indeed consider it, but whether Li Chen thought so was another matter.

Under Xie Minjun's instigation, the demon powerhouse thought that she couldn't run away anyway, so she came to Li Chen, bowed, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my name is A-Mei, and I am a Soft-Bone Charm Rabbit."
