Volume 2 Chapter 20 [Return to the Kingdom of Zhou]
After being promoted to the foundation building, Wang Rui did not delay any longer, set up the magic weapon and returned to the palace of King Zhou. After his cultivation was improved, he found that the speed of the flying of the imperial object had greatly increased, and since the spiritual power was far more abundant than that of the Qi training stage, it seemed that the consumption had also decreased a lot.
After about half a day's effort, he entered the Zhou Kingdom from the deep mountains of the Jin Kingdom, and as soon as he crossed the border, he found two familiar rainbow lights passing by.
"Brother Rui......" Chen Qi pounced directly with a crying voice, and couldn't even take care of the magic weapon under his feet, so frightened that Wang Rui hurriedly reached out to hug her.
Chen Fuzhi smiled and came to his side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Are you all alright?" Wang Rui asked with emotion, although he was sure to defeat Liu Xi, but the two of them were really worried, probably thinking that Wang Rui was just deliberately tricking them to leave, but he was in danger.
Chen Fuzhi had injuries on his body, which had not yet healed, and said disapprerovingly: "The gang of the Ghost Mother Sect has been frightened, only two people escaped, and two others were too seriously injured and died, and the rest died on the spot, what about you?"
Wang Rui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Liu Xi is already dead and buried by me, but we said to the outside world that we didn't see it, anyway, I was chased and killed by her all the way and escaped, presumably many people think that my strength should not be as good as her."
Regarding Liu Xi's true identity, Wang Rui does not plan to tell the two for the time being, so as not to worry the two out of thin air.
Chen Qi complained that Wang Rui was too risky this time, and vowed that next time, no matter what danger he encountered, he would face it with him even if he faced Yuanying Monk.
The three of them then returned together and arrived at the palace, where there were still some traces of the aftermath of the day's battle, most of them had been cleaned up, and the efficiency was admirable.
When he saw the Son of Heaven again, the other party's complexion had changed greatly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time, the three real people have removed the big trouble for the Zhou Kingdom, and I will bring the entire royal family to thank the three." The Son of Heaven took the initiative to take the lead in bowing to Wang Rui and the three of them to thank them, including Princess Qinglan and the concubines, all saluted in a regular manner.
Chen Fuzhi and Chen Qi were a little at a loss, it was the first time they had encountered such a grand and grand thank-you, although the other party was only a secular world, but after all, everyone was also born in the secular world, and they were born in awe of the royal family.
Although Wang Rui also encountered it for the first time, after this period of growth, he also knew that he would have to adapt to all this sooner or later, so he finally accepted it calmly, but after the Son of Heaven bowed once, he quickly gave birth to a spiritual power that held up hundreds of royal family members.
After Chen Fuzhi and Chen Qi felt the changes in Wang Rui's spiritual power at this time, a trace of surprise and shock flashed in each other's eyes, from the peak of the ninth layer of qi cultivation to the foundation building period, in less than a year, the cultivation speed was quite amazing.
The Son of Heaven and the others also felt a gentle force to hold themselves up, although peaceful, they were extremely powerful, far from being able to compete with ordinary people, so they stopped bowing with interest.
Then there is the celebration banquet, singing and dancing, and staggering.
Princess Qinglan deliberately sat down next to Wang Rui and the others to toast the three of them respectively, and they were happy.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and when he returned to his residence, Chen Fuzhi was helped by Wang Rui to sleep, Chen Qi gave him water to scrub his face, and after all the arrangements were made, he came to Wang Rui's side.
"Brother Rui......" Chen Qi looked a little special today, and seemed to be particularly emotional.
In the face of her embrace, Wang Rui was not easy to refuse, and after a hot kiss, the two of them couldn't help themselves.
"Brother Rui, now that you have reached the foundation building realm, I don't know when you will be able to break through." The two of them were lying together, their clothes intact, they didn't go beyond the rules, they just kept warm.
Wang Rui comforted: "Sister Qi, at most three years, I will help you be promoted to Zhuji, and then we will set up a banquet in the Hundred Medicine Valley and invite some fellow disciples to participate, by the way, there are also Medicine Idiot Daoists and Qingying Dao people, they all have a good relationship with me."
"Really, Brother Rui?" Chen Qi suddenly rejoiced, the idea of becoming a Taoist couple became more urgent, and looking at Wang Rui's eyes was even more affectionate, which made Wang Rui cry out and couldn't bear it......
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Rui got up with a little yawn, and Chen Qi may have been satisfied, and his face was still sleeping soundly with crimson.
As a monastic, it is rare to be so tired. Although the two did not exceed the final rules, they also did everything else that should have been done, and Wang Rui was also a little greedy for this taste, but he still kept the bottom line, waiting for Chen Qi to break through to the foundation, and then the two of them would do Zhou Gong's gift.
Walking along Shenyue Lake, the morning light is only a little bit at this time, and the lake is full of green trees, and many places still look very dim.
A burst of sobbing sound came from the direction of the nearby cold palace, Wang Rui felt something in his heart and walked over.
In the garden of the cold palace, Princess Qinglan didn't know what she thought, and the pear blossoms that were crying were like rain.
"Princess......" Wang Rui suddenly thought of her physical curse, and couldn't help but sigh, but he also felt that it was really ridiculous in his heart.
is such a bright and lovely girl, but because of this curse, she will face the threat of death, and she will turn into a ghost?
"Brother Wang......" Princess Qinglan barely stopped crying, her eyes red.
Wang Rui walked up to her and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head, wanting to comfort her and make her not have to be so afraid.
"Brother Wang......" Under Wang Rui's comfort, Princess Qinglan finally burst out emotionally, threw herself into his arms, hugged him and continued to sob.
Wang Rui was also caught off guard, but he couldn't push it away at this time, otherwise he would completely hurt the princess.
After a long time, Princess Qinglan took the initiative to leave his embrace, and Wang Rui took out a clean handkerchief from his storage bag and handed it to her.
While wiping his tears, he said, "Brother Wang, I have figured it out, since my fate cannot be changed, I still want to ask you for one thing."
"You say." Wang Rui nodded in agreement.
Princess Qinglan's expression became firm at this time, looked at him and said, "Brother Wang, in fact, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that after death, I will turn into a powerful ghost and bring disaster to the world. So I hope that Brother Wang can kill me the moment I officially turn 16."
Wang Rui looked at her in surprise, Princess Qinglan nodded without hesitation, and continued: "I don't want to live as a walking corpse, if I have to die, I hope I can die at the hands of someone I like."
"You...... Princess...... Why ...... this" Wang Rui felt uncomfortable with the princess's confession, obviously a girl in the flower season and rainy season, but she made this kind of suggestion to herself. If you kill the princess with your own hands, then this will inevitably become an indelible flaw in your long cultivation journey, and even become your own inner demon.
However, can he refuse? This is what the princess would say with great trust in him, even admiration, and he found that he could not refuse.
