C97

Sometimes dripping wet, sometimes pitter-patter, the tides wet.

A very simple and unadorned carriage slowly advanced through the rain. In front of the carriage was a supremely handsome young man. Beside him sat a beautiful young girl.

The carriage was surrounded by eighteen red snow light riders. Each rider was a young man dressed in a straight black suit. The sharpened blades on his face carried a chilling aura.

Strangely, not a single drop of such heavy rain landed on their bodies.

This strange team came out of the Imperial City, passed through the Middle Mystery Gate, and finally turned towards the West City, arriving in front of Duke Chu's mansion.

Two lions were standing in the rain at the gate, and the vermilion gate was tightly shut.

There was nothing but rain.

"Crown Prince, Royal Concubine, we've arrived at Duke Chu's mansion!" Bing Sen's voice contained a hint of guilt. He hadn't expected to personally enter Duke Chu's mansion yesterday, but Duke Chu's attitude still hadn't changed.

Chu Moxie and Shang Chen exited the horse carriage. She stood atop the horse carriage and stared at the closed doors of Duke Chu's mansion, dazed for a moment. Her lips curved into a perfect smile, "Flower Butterfly, you've got the wrong door. Duke Chu's mansion's doors are only open for the direct line. Go to the side door!"

Shang Chen swept a cold glance at Bing Sen. If Duke Chu's attitude was like this long ago, he would have asked Bing Sen to use a forceful method to execute it.

"Yes …" Bing Sen pursed his lips. He really felt wronged! How could someone as astute as Madam Ye not see through it? At that time, it would be difficult for everyone.

The sound of the carriage clanging rang out again as it headed towards the side door of Duke Chu's mansion.

When they arrived at the side door, Lian'er was the first to jump down from the carriage. She then directly pushed open the side door and waited by the door.

Chu Moxi and Shang Chen alighted from the horse carriage and entered through the side door, followed by Bing Sen and the eighteen hidden guards.

The mottled bluestone path was only as wide as a carriage, and the ground was littered with broken leaves and water.

The only sounds on the way were the sound of rain and the sound of feet on water.

As usual, there was no change until a piece of ruins appeared in front of them. Only then did Chu Moxi stop her steps.

The ruins were the original location of Mo Xi's pavilion. On the day of Chu Moxi's wedding, Duke Chu ordered for people to be turned into ruins.

Chu Moxi quietly stood at the door that belonged to her.

Shang Chen stood behind her, tightly holding her hand.

"That year, mother died. That year, I lived here. That year, I was grounded. That year …" Chu Moxi's original memories were being recited one by one.

After finishing her chant, a smile appeared on Chu Moxi's face, "Let's go!"

These two words were filled with bitterness. After all, they were blood relatives.

He silently arrived and left. However, an earth-shattering reaction had already occurred in the Duke Chu Mansion.

No one from the Duke Chu Palace opened the doors, and no one came to greet Chu Moxi. However, everyone saw her standing in front of the Mortal Pavilion.

Eighteen guards accompanied by Prince Chen.

Some people even noticed that in the heavy rain, there wasn't a single drop of rain on their bodies …

"Stingy woman, where is this?"

"You stingy woman, when are you going to bring this pig back …"

"This pig is wrong, beautiful goddess. This pig promises not to cause trouble …"

Wasn't this Zhu Bajie making a ruckus at the restaurant? It had been thrown into the painting by Chu Moxi and then she had completely forgotten about it.

Poor Zhu Bajie had been trapped by the formation and hadn't left yet. It had been starving for several days. Until today, it hadn't found any pattern in the Peach Blossom Forest, and after walking out of the Peach Blossom Forest, it saw a very large immortal palace.

It stared at the three words, "Heavenly Dawn Palace", before it shuddered and fainted …

In the afternoon, the emperor ordered.

On the Spring Festival, the king and his subjects were having fun!

Prince Chen was on the list.

"Chenchen, look at Mu Hanyi's reaction. He's a bit excited!" His order is probably to declare war on you! " After returning from Duke Chu's mansion, Chu Moxi did not feel the slightest bit lonely or even happy.

"Even after all these years, his character still hasn't changed." There was not the slightest trace of surprise on Mu Shang Chen's face. On the contrary, he felt that it was very normal.

"Since it's Yuan Xiao, then let's give him a big present!" Chu Moxi bit her lips. Suddenly, she raised her head in shock, "Did I forget something very important?"

"You forgot about Zhu Bajie!" Shang Chen reminded her with good intentions.

"Holy shit, Zhu Bajie …" Then, Chu Moxie brought the dying Zhu Bajie out of the painting.

Every time, Shang Chen would not see Chu Mo Xi using the Spatial Ring. He had thought that she had hidden it somewhere. Today, he clearly saw that there was no Spatial Ring at all. Shang Chen smirked as he watched Chu Moxi frantically try to wake Zhu Bajie up.

"I'll do it!" In the end, Shang Chen poured some spirit essence directly into Zhu Bajie's body, and only then did Zhu Bajie wake up.

When it woke up, the first thing it said was, "This pig has starved to death!"

According to what Chu Moxi said, dogs couldn't stop themselves from eating feces!

Afterwards, Chu Moxi's original guilt immediately disappeared. With a dark face, she let Lian'er prepare some food for Zhu Bajie.

The table was filled with small porridge and barbecued meat.

"Zhu Bajie, you reincarnated a hungry ghost?"

A certain woman was tongue-tied.

Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes. He didn't even bother to look at this woman. It had truly starved to death!

Seemingly feeling that Zhu Bajie was really hungry, Chu Moxi obediently shut her mouth, staring at Zhu Bajie as she ate happily on the table.

Actually, if Chu Moxi hadn't cared about Zhu Bajie, why would she have people prepare so much food for him?

The capital was a big city, and it was also the imperial city of the Mu Ling Empire.

Since the day before the Spring Festival Gala, it had become very lively. Eat a Chinese Lantern Festival, watch the lights, guess the riddles...

After half a day of rest, everyone headed out in the evening.

On the Spring Lantern Festival, Chu Moxi gave everyone a break of two days. Of course, it was the Hall of Information's break. In accordance with Chu Moxi's goal, if one knew how to work, they would rest. Only when one had a good rest would one have a better job. She was not a slave owner, and all her people had complete holidays.

They were originally here to play, so everyone was very relaxed. Of course, they had also disguised themselves. Chu Moxi had directly put on the purple veil, and Shang Chen had restrained his aura, turning into an ordinary Duke Chen.

Even the dark guard, who had been in a tight spot the entire time, was wearing ordinary clothes. With Chu Moxi and Shang Chen at the center, they slowly moved with the crowd. Of course, they did not forget their duties and did not want anything unexpected to happen …

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala was very strong. Everyone seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the surroundings.

In front of her, Lian'er was chasing after Ouyang De's figure. The two of them, one cold, one fiery, one in front and one behind. Although Lian'er had never mentioned it before, Chu Moxi could smell a special scent.

"Chenchen, it's so lively in the capital!" Having been in this foreign world for so long, this was the first time Chu Moxi encountered such a lively scene.

"Like? "Then we'll have a good time today." Shang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"Alright …"

Suddenly, a loud sound of a gong was heard from the other side.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Chu Moxi and Shang Chen.

The person who struck the gong was a middle-aged man with a square face. Seeing that everyone was attracted by him, the smile on his face became even wider. If one answered a question correctly, they would get one point, but if one answered a wrong, they would be punished. They could even drink a bowl of wine. "In the end, let's see which team has the most guesses, and then the team becomes the champion. The champion's reward is 1000 gold coins."

The moment that person finished speaking, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.

A thousand gold coins was not a small sum. For ordinary families, this could be used for several years.

Many people's faces were filled with excitement.

As for Chu Moxi, her eyes flashed. Guess the riddle of the lantern? Who would have thought that in this world where the strong were revered, there would be such a graceful matter.

"You wish to participate?" Shang Chen whispered in her ear as he felt Chu Moxi's excitement.

"Yeah, but follow them …" Seeing that everyone present had gone for the reward, she felt a little embarrassed!

"Yes." Shang Chen glanced at Chu Moxi and saw a green robed elder whispering to a few people on the stage.

Below the stage, a well-dressed man had a bunch of young masters behind him, all of whom had a proud smile on their faces. In just a few breaths, the old man who was talking to the young man on the stage hastily got off the stage, walked to the young man in traditional Chinese clothing, and stuffed something inside before leaving in a hurry.

He had originally thought that with so many people present, no one would be able to see him. But the truth was that this was not the case. Everything they had done was done by Chu Moxie and Shang Chen.

"Shit, I'm participating!" It was a complete blow to him! " The corner of Chu Moxi's mouth slightly curled up under her veil. She could imagine his expression turning ugly later.

"En!" Shang Chen nodded in agreement, "As for the matter of drinking wine, I'll leave it to Bing Sen!" As he spoke, the corner of Shang Chen's mouth curved into a smile.

Bing Sen, who followed behind, immediately froze. Just who was he messing with? Why did he get shot even as he was lying down!

Ever since he was forced to write the marriage contract by the people of the Luo Ying clan, Bing Sen had started to feel a shadow over drinking.

However, from Asgard Master's gaze, he felt that it would be better for him to obediently obey.

"Hmm, Zhu Bajie, your mouth is sewn shut?" Chu Moxi placed Zhu Bajie, who was in her pocket, on her shoulder. She discovered that ever since Chu Moxi had forgotten about him, Zhu Bajie had been much more obedient. However, Chu Moxie was still not used to it.

"You're the one who got stitched up! This pig is called resting, what do you know? " Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes. This woman had a venomous tongue.

"Recuperate? Incredible! So Zhu Bajie is actually so cultured! " Chu Moxi looked at Zhu Bajie in astonishment, as if a pie falling from the sky was a strange thing.

"Stingy woman …"

"Clang …"

At this moment, the sound of the gong on stage pulled everyone's attention back to the stage, and Zhu Bajie also shut his mouth.

Even Lian'er, Ouyang Ziyun, and the others walked behind Chu Moxi. The hidden guards only stood around and didn't come over.
