Chapter 201 Imperial Family’s Plan

Chapter 201 Imperial Family's Plan

" To think you actually noticed the shadow guards. Your divine sense is pretty kneen." Jiang Wanxue sat on a chair elegantly as she looked at Long Ming.

" Well, Everyone got their own secrets, no?" Long Ming laughed lightly as he sat before Jiang Wanxue.

" So, Miss Wanxue, Did you miss me?"

" Why should I?" Jiang Wanxue poured some tea into a cup as she spoke in a placid voice. " Young Master Long, I have much more important work rather than thinking about you."

" Ouch! Miss Jiang is hurting my fragile heart." Long Ming rubbed his chest as he feigned an expression of pain.

" Can you stop acting so shameless? Just how thick your skin is?" Jiang Wanxue couldn't help but mutter as she looked at Long Ming's expression.

" Well, I believe you felt my skin thoroughly last time."

*CRACK!!*

Cracks appeared on the teacup as Jiang Wanxue's calm expression remained on her face. " Were you saying anything?"

" I was saying...Why drink tea when I got something better here?" Long Ming laughed lightly as he took out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flames.

Unsealing the urn, Long Ming poured wine into two glasses. Jiang Wanxue raised her eyebrows when she inhaled the fragrance of the wine.

" Meeting after so long, Why waste time with tea?" Long Ming grinned as he poured wine and passed to Jiang Wanxue.

*After two glasses*

" Hooo, This wine is really...strong." Jiang Wanxue felt her cheeks turning red as she took a deep breath. She was shocked to feel the richness and intoxication of Four Seasons True Wine.

" So, I don't think the only reason you called me here is to introduce me to your brother?" Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue.

" Almost, but there is something else too." Jiang Wanxue took a light sip as she looked at Long Ming.

" The Sky Martial Tower and other forces are also going to participate in the battle tournament." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming. " Not to mention, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain are already hostile towards Four Seasons Valley. This Battle Tournament might be tough for your sect."

" Is that so?" Long Ming smiled. " Don't worry, Miss Jiang, Four Seasons Valley still has many tricks under its sleeve."

" Two core disciples of Sky Martial Tower already reached Harmonization Realm. Not to mention, They even went through their Royal grade Minor Physique Tribulation."

" However, the most terrifying one is Li Yunhai, The saint child of Sky Martial Tower."

" I heard he got acknowledged by a True Imperial Treasure, Azure Crescent Halberd."

" But what's even more, he even found an Imperial Physique cultivation technique and cultivated it till the Minor Completion stage. He can easily suppress any cultivation in Harmonization Realm with ease."

Long Ming was startled when he heard that. Sky Martial Tower and Four Seasons Valley's relationship was like fire and water. If Li Yunhai continues to grow, he will be a threat to Four Seasons Valley.

However, Mu Qinglian also hid her strength pretty well. Therefore, if a fight breaks out between Mu Qinglian and Li Yunhai, it would be hard to tell who is going to win.

' But if we talk about quality, Sky Martial Tower has grown across the years while Four Seasons Valley declined. No matter what, the gap between them is significant.' Long Ming pondered inwardly.

" Are you scared?" Jiang Wanxue's cheeks flushed as she looked at Long Ming with amused eyes. " You know, the Imperial Family will support Four Seasons Valley if you submit to us."

" I am not in the position to decide that." Long Ming shook his head.

" Then join the Imperial Family. The resources here are more abundant than Four Seasons Valley." Jiang Wanxue proposed instantly. " If you agree, We can arrange to give you a True treasure of Grand Heaven Ascension Realm."

" You are very generous, Lady Jiang. However, I have no intention to do so." Long Ming shook his head.

" Besides, Why does the Holy Qilin Empire wish to win over Four Seasons Valley anyway?"

" You don't know?" Jiang Wanxue raised her brows. " Being the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, I thought you knew about this open secret."

" Well, I hope you can enlighten me."

Jiang Wanxue sighed as she leaned back. " Listen, The path of Grand Dao is simply limitless. There are infinite paths to reach the same summit."

" An Emperor is called as the son of heaven. As you know about the fortune of a nation, the greater the land, the more fortune will gather, and the more blessed the Imperial Family and Emperor will be." Jiang Wanxue explained to Long Ming.

" Four Seasons Valley is a powerful Imperial Lineage, blessed with the karmic luck of three Heavenly Emperors. If we manage to get the domain of Four Seasons Valley, my father... The current Emperor will become more powerful, and so will the princes and other imperial family members."

" Not to mention, our reach will spread across the Westward Bay, and using that as a springboard, we can even target the Ring of Thousand Islands."

Suddenly, Long Ming felt like he grasped something.

Meng Zhi already told him that the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire might have some connection with the Ring of Thousand Island. Now, hearing Jiang Wanxue, Long Ming wondered if returning to the Ring of Thousand Island was the goal of the Holy Qilin Empire.

' Why do I feel like I suddenly grabbed a clue of a big conspiracy spanning across millions of miles?' Long Ming rubbed his forehead.

However, Four Seasons Valley can't submit to the Holy Qilin Empire as it would be a shame for their ancestors.

" Well, Four Seasons Valley isn't the only place filled with karmic luck." Long Ming chuckled. " I mean, Why not attack other places?"

" But Four Seasons Valley is currently the weakest."

Long Ming became speechless when he heard that. But it does look like Four Seasons Valley is currently the weakest powerhouse sitting atop a mountain of treasures. No wonder why so many powers are trying to be hostile against Four Seasons Valley.

" So, What is the stance of the Imperial Family?" Long Ming finally asked the question. Jiang Wanxue's lips curled as she looked at Long Ming.

" Unless Four Seasons Valley can pull a miracle, Blissful Heaven Temple and Sky Martial Tower will do?their best to crush the Four Seasons Valley." Jiang Wanxue closed her eyes. " And, if the situation becomes unfavorable for Four Seasons Valley, then Imperial Family will definitely side with Sky Martial Tower."

" That means there is a chance that Imperial Family might not go against Four Seasons Valley?"

" As I said, depends upon the situation." Jiang Wanxue answered.

" Well, That's assuring. I hope I can manage to get the Imperial Family to my side." Long Ming got up as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.

" Let's see..."

Jiang Wanxue shook her head as she answered vaguely. However, suddenly, she felt her Long Ming held her waist and pulled towards him.

" Wh-What are you doing? Let me...go..."

Jiang Wanxue was startled as she tried to push Long Ming away. However, the Four Seasons True Wine showed its effects as Jiang Wanxue felt tipsy. Her struggles were like a cute kitten scratching on Long Ming's body.

" Well, Enough of serious topics." Long Ming grinned as he held her tightly. " Shouldn't you treat me with more affection? My dear bed warming maid?"

" Yo-You! How dare you..."

" Did you not promise to be my bed warming maid?"

" I..."

Jiang Wanxue's face flushed when she heard that. However, as she wanted to protest, Long Ming suddenly kissed her.

" Mnnn..."

Jiang Wanxue sighed as she felt Long Ming's lips sealed her lips tightly, his tongue slowly prying her mouth open and teasing her tongue.

Slowly, instead of resisting, Jiang Wanxue lets Long Ming do whatever he wants. nOVe-lB.1n

" I... I don't love you at all. Just because... we had sex, that doesn't mean...we are in a relationship." Jiang Wanxue bit her lips as she glared at Long Ming.

However, Long Ming only smiled as he kept holding her. " No matter what you say, after that moment, you are my woman, Jiang Wanxue."

" No matter what, I won't let you go."

Jiang Wanxue felt a strange feeling in her heart, making a small smile appear on her face. However, it soon faded as she looked at Long Ming.

" I am already bethroed to someone."

" Don't know, don't care."

" You will regret it."

" Let's see..."

" Haaah..."

Jiang Wanxue sighed, but before she could say anything else, Long Ming kissed her again.

' This rascal...He isn't letting me go at all.' Jiang Wanxue grumbled.

But, strange enough, she didn't feel like resisting much.

" Fine, You should go back now. It's not I mind if some gossip about us starts flying though." Long Ming said playfully.

" Rouge! You are simply a rouge!"

Jiang Wanxue spat as she pushed Long Ming. Although her steps were staggering, she focused and walked away.

Long Ming smacked his lips as he could feel the aftertaste of Jiang Wanxue's winey lips.

" Huh?"

The moment he walked out of the courtyard, he was startled when he saw a girl standing before him. It was the same girl who escorted him here.

" Young Master...Will you spend your night in my boudoir?"
