"Senior Qinghuang, Shouzhe is only two hundred years old this year... I wonder how old you are this year?" Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said something salty.
Two hundred years old? What?
The pretty face of Qinghuang Demon Emperor was stunned...
Doesn't that mean that this so-called Great Demon King Shouzhe is much, much younger than Cuier?
Fierce beasts and other spiritual beasts have very different lifespans depending on their race. The Phoenix clan has a longer lifespan among the spiritual beasts. Even though Qinghuang looks young after she transforms, her appearance is
His actual age is much older than Longchang and Chaoyang Wang.
A mere two hundred years old, in her eyes, it is just a blink of an eye.
"What do you mean by this?" Qinghuang Demon Emperor said with some hesitation, but his tone was obviously not so tough.
"It's not interesting, why don't we settle the accounts first." Wang Shouzhe looked calm and counted with her on his fingers, "First, the medical expenses, lost work expenses, and compensation expenses for injuring our Majesty total three million immortal crystals.
Do you have any opinions?"
"I have an opinion. That old man from Longchang who doesn't cultivate the best spiritual veins of our Ten Thousand Saint Kingdom dares to speak rudely. I should beat him." The Qinghuang Demon Emperor was aroused with anger, and his phoenix eyes stood upright.
"That top-grade spiritual vein is still three thousand miles away from your country's traditional border." Wang Shouzhe took out a map of the Southern Wilderness, which clearly marked the border line of Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, as well as the location of the top-grade spiritual vein.
"According to international practice, the first to discover is first served, or the strongest is respected. Since you, Senior Qinghuang, have fallen into our hands, we naturally have the right to settle accounts with you."
"snort!"
Qinghuang Demon Emperor turned away and did not want to argue with him.
What is there to say when you are a knife-sitter and you are a fish-meat?
"Then let's talk about the second point." Wang Shouzhe continued to settle accounts, "Senior Qinghuang, you invaded our Wang family's territory without permission. During this period, you were suspected of organizing and participating in a variety of illegal and criminal activities, including 'espionage' and 'robbery.'"
, "crime of theft", "crime of illegal invasion of territory", "crime of endangering public safety", "crime of illegal invasion of the head of the family", "crime of attempted kidnapping of the head of the family", "crime of kidnapping of the guardian spirit beast of the family", "crime of resisting arrest with force"
"Crimes", "crimes of undermining friendly diplomatic relations with neighboring countries", "crimes of undermining racial harmony", do you have any objections to these charges?"
Listening to the series of accusations, Qinghuang Demon Emperor's eyes widened wider and wider.
She originally thought that she was defeated and captured, and she was mentally prepared to endure the traditional "beautiful woman defeated plot line".
But she never thought that the Great Demon King Shouzhe had no interest in her body at all, and instead listed her one crime after another.
She just walked around the city, how could she commit so many crimes? Is this kid just making nonsense?!
"Senior Qinghuang, don't think that Shouzhe is lying to you." Wang Shouzhe took out several thick volumes of Daqian law and a set of regulations on the management of Wang's territory from his storage ring, and piled them on Qinghuang.
In front of Demon Emperor Huang, "The relevant regulations are in these law books. You can study them carefully, and you can also defend yourself."
"..."
Although the Qinghuang Demon Emperor has lived long enough to be literate and can understand the writing of the human kingdom, he still feels overwhelmed when he sees these tomes of laws. He can't help but say: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine." What."
She has a certain psychological acceptance of even the plot of defeat, let alone legal accountability?
"Okay, please ask Senior Qinghuang to sign and certify the confession." Wang Shouzhe took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the charges one by one. Then he handed it to her and asked her to sign and certify it. "Proactively pleading guilty can reduce some of the guilt."
"Wang Shouzhe, you really won't force anything on me...?" Qinghuang Demon Emperor grabbed the pen and stared at Wang Shouzhe suspiciously.
"Senior Qinghuang, forcing a woman against her will is a serious violation of the law. Your Majesty, if he is not sensible, how can I still be ignorant?" Wang Shouzhe said with a serious face, "What's more, we are in a harmonious legal society today. I, Wang Shouzhe, have a wife and children, a happy and stable small family, and I am in a positive, healthy and progressive family. Let alone me forcing my seniors to do that, even if my seniors force me, I will not obey to the death."
"Am I forcing you?" Qinghuang Demon Emperor's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
"Ahem, I'm just giving an example." Wang Shouzhe said seriously, "What I mean is that it is almost impossible for the situation you imagined to happen between the two of us, so don't worry."
Hearing what he said, the stone in Qinghuang Demon Emperor's heart finally fell, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable humiliation and signed the confession with complicated emotions.
"Since Senior Qinghuang pleads guilty, the guilt can be reduced a lot." Wang Shouzhe collected the confession with satisfaction. "If you can actively compensate the merchants for their losses and actively pay fines and compensation, the punishment can be further reduced. Otherwise, just Those crimes are enough for you to serve a thousand years of hard labor."
"Then how much compensation do I need to pay in order to be free immediately?" Qinghuang Demon Emperor saw that Wang Shouzhe was quite "reasonable" and asked tentatively with his eyes bright.
"Three hundred million to five hundred million immortal crystals. The exact calculation will depend on the details." Wang Shouzhe answered truthfully, "The most likely number is around 300 million. After all, Senior Qinghuang admitted his guilt quite happily."
"How much?!" Qinghuang Demon Emperor's eyes widened, "Do you think I can afford this money?"
Although she was not very familiar with human currency, she also knew that this was definitely a huge amount.
"As the saying goes, the phoenix never falls without treasure. Senior, you are being too modest." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "If the fine from senior is not enough, you can sell some other things to pay for it, such as your green phoenix tail feathers, wings, etc." Yu, Qinghuang essence and blood, etc., are all very famous raw materials for refining weapons or elixirs."
"By the way, when I saw senior transform into his original form and fight fiercely, some of the wing feathers and tail feathers were about to fall off. Why don't we pull them out to deduct some fines. By the way, senior's storage equipment should also be inspected by me. See if there are any. What can be used to offset the fine?"
Qinghuang Demon Emperor's eyes widened and his whole body trembled when he said that.
Unexpectedly, it was not that Wang Shouzhe didn't care about her body, it was just that this body was not that "body".
After a stick of incense.
Wang Shouzhe broke the seal and walked out of the cave, and behind him came the indignant scream of the Qinghuang Demon Emperor: "Wang Shouzhe, you are truly a great devil. You have gone too far, why not just kill me!"
"
Hearing this, the four Lingxu Realm bosses guarding outside the cave all cast strange looks at Wang Shouzhe.
Especially Emperor Longchang, who winked at Wang Shouzhe and muttered secretly in his heart. Unexpectedly, Shouzhe, who is usually serious, can still be very resourceful at critical moments~~
"Ahem~" Yao Yuangang coughed twice and reminded, "Shouzhe, you should coax Qinghuang more, after all, you still have to live in the future."
"I think it's okay." Chaoyang King had a different idea, and continued to support Wang Shouzhe, "Qinghuang Demon Emperor has an unruly personality, so we have to give her a severe blow from the beginning to scare her.
Only then can we live a peaceful life."
"Seniors." Wang Shouzhe saluted helplessly, "Let's go back to the Wang family first."
At this time, it's not that Wang Shouzhe doesn't want to explain, it's just that the description is getting darker and darker, so he simply doesn't bother to explain.
"It doesn't matter, I'm still a little tired from this fight." Chaoyang King said he was tired, but he was full of energy. "Qinghuang is the king who will take her away. Along the way, I can also teach Shouzhe how to behave in her."
The principles of women.”
After what happened here, everyone naturally returned to the Wang family without mentioning it.
…
In the huge Liuping Mountains, there are towering peaks, deep valleys, and turbulent rivers running through them. It is like an ancient giant beast entrenched in the Southern Wilderness, occupying most of the area south of the Southern Wilderness.
The Kingdom of All Saints is located in the deepest part of the Liuping Mountains.
now.
In a dense forest close to the territory of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, a ray of green light passed through the dense forest like lightning and flew quickly towards the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
And at the same time.
Deep in the Liuping Mountains.
Halloween Valley.
A huge tree stands tall in the valley.
Its trunk is straight and towering, reaching straight into the sky like a pillar of the sky, and the top is even submerged in the flowing clouds.
Under the bright sunshine, the surface of those palm-sized fan-shaped leaves glowed with a warm and moist luster like jasper. As they swayed in the wind, the leaves collided with each other, making bursts of crisp sounds, like wind chimes, which spread far away with the sound of wind.
This "wind chime sound" seems to have a calming effect. On the lawn under the tree, many large and small ferocious beasts are lying in a group, falling asleep to the sound of wind chimes.
On the lush lawn next to the ferocious beast, the little ferocious beast cubs, which are no taller than the blades of grass, are playing and playing in groups, using the lying large ferocious beast as a barrier to play chasing games, and occasionally even playfully crawling up to the big ferocious beast.
On the body, he shouted proudly at his friends from a high position, as if he had accomplished some great feat.
The sleeping big ferocious beast was awakened by the roaring sound. He casually shrugged his shoulders and shook off the brave little cub, then turned over and continued to sleep.
On the canopy of the tree, there is an adult huge ferocious bird spreading its wings to dry its feathers. The gorgeous feathers glow like gold in the sun, and are more magnificent and gorgeous than the most exquisite works of art.
On the treetops nearby, flocks of baby birds were jumping around happily and chirping happily.
Further inside, close to the tree trunk, there are some ferocious beasts and birds that have reached the seventh or eighth level but have not yet transformed. They are shrinking into small ones, forming a circle obediently, listening to a white-bearded man.
The old man tells stories.
This old man looks very old. Not only his beard and hair are completely white, but his face is also full of wrinkles. However, there is no trace of twilight in him. Instead, he is kind and peaceful, like a still water and a deep lake, which makes people feel...
Seeing him, my mood seems to become peaceful and peaceful.
Bathed in the mottled light and shadow, the old man spoke in a gentle tone and told the story of "a righteous fox repaying kindness" in an unhurried manner.
Under the warm sunshine, everything seems to become soft and warm. From a distance, it looks like a peaceful time.
However, the arrival of a emerald green light broke the peace of the All Saints Valley.
Under the clear sky, the escaping light was so fast that it rushed into the valley at almost a desperate speed, heading straight for the towering tree in the middle of the valley.
Almost instantly, all the big ferocious beasts that had been taking their afternoon break in the tree were awakened. They all raised their heads and stared at the escaping light with bright eyes.
The old man under the tree also looked up.
He raised his sleeve and flicked it, and a light green light like spring breeze blew through the air. It seemed gentle, but it firmly blocked the escaping light.
The light dispersed, revealing a large emerald-green bird that was in a panic.
It was a slender green peacock with gorgeous feathers that shone brightly in the sun.
Maybe she was flying too fast along the way, and the feather crest on her head had become crooked. Even if she stopped now, she was still out of breath with her neck stretched out, looking like she was about to be exhausted.
There was a hint of surprise in the old man's kind eyebrows: "Xiao Cuier, why are you in such a mess? Where is Qinghuang?"
"Emperor, Senior Dixiu, no, it's not good, the ancestor of Qinghuang was captured by humans!" Green Peacock stumbled and rushed under the tree, her voice already filled with tears because of her anxiety.
The old man looked even more surprised: "With Qinghuang's strength... who did it? Did they leave any words?"
"ah?"
The green peacock looked at the old man in confusion, with an expression on his face that he didn't know what he was talking about.
The old man paused and asked in a different way: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Only then did the green peacock realize what had happened, and he quickly told the story while breathing heavily, and then said urgently: "Senior, please take the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor to rescue our ancestors quickly!"
While he was talking, the ferocious beasts around him had already gathered around him. They all showed expressions of indignation upon hearing the words, and some of the bad-tempered ferocious beasts even roared in anger.
"Humans are so cunning!"
"Senior Dixiu, as long as you give the order, we will immediately follow you to kill him and force humans to hand over the Azure Phoenix Demon Emperor!"
"Yes! Senior, we all listen to you!"
"Senior! Please give the order quickly!"
The green peacock Cui'er also looked at the old man eagerly, with a look of expectation on her face.
Looking at the pair of angry and impulsive beast eyes and listening to the bursts of angry roars, the old man suddenly felt dizzy.
He waved his hand.
A ray of light green light passed by accompanied by the sound of wind chimes. The ferocious beasts around him suddenly became quiet, and the anger in his heart seemed to be soothed and became less anxious.
The old man said: "Don't worry, everyone. The specific situation on the human side is still unclear. I will discuss it with Kyuubi first and then decide what to do."
"Then ancestor..." Green Peacock Cui'er paced her paws anxiously.
"Don't worry, I watched that girl Qinghuang grow up. I won't let anything happen to her. You should take a rest first and recover your strength." The old man kindly touched the green peacock's head to soothe her emotions.
However, some uneasiness and doubt arose in my heart.
The Human Empire and the Wan Sheng Kingdom have always been governed by separate territories, and they are on equal terms with each other. But now they suddenly arrest Qing Huang. If there is no other purpose in this, he definitely doesn't believe it.
As for the possibility that all this was a coincidence, he hadn't even thought about it.
After all, he knew very well the strength of Qinghuang girl. The two Lingxu from Donggan country were no match for Qinghuang even if they were put together. If they wanted to capture Qinghuang, they would have to recruit foreign aid.
As for Lingxu Realm experts, who are near the top in combat power among humans, none of them are easy to recruit. How could there be any coincidence?
I just don’t know what the hell the humans are doing.
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
I am just afraid that the long-lasting peace of All Saints Kingdom will be gone forever.
…
same time period.
The Wang family's main residence, Shouzhe's courtyard.
Wang Shouzhe has been living in this courtyard since time travel, even when he got married to Ruolan.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two hundred years.
Countless things have happened in this small courtyard, and even many decisions related to the changes in the world came from here.
After Wang Shouzhe captured the Qinghuang Demon Emperor, he temporarily detained her in Liuxian Valley, with His Highness Prince Chaoyang and his wife helping to guard her.
On this day, he was listening to Wang Anrui's work report.
Wang Anrui is the tenth son of An, that is, a few years younger than Wang Anye. He is one of Wang Shouzhe's direct great-grandsons. He is now a mature man in his 150s and 60s, and his cultivation strength will also enter the purple realm.
Mansion boundary.
Because his father Wang Guanghao has been restless since he was a child and is a man who likes to be the pirate king, Wang Anrui has been relatively mature and steady since he was a child. He has experienced and grown up in the family all the way, and now he has become the leader in charge of the affairs of the entire Qingluowei family.
Even Qingluo Guard's official [Lord Castle Guard] always looks up to him.
"Grandpa is very relieved when Anrui is doing things. Thank you for your hard work on Qingluowei." Wang Shouzhe nodded more and more as he listened to the report, feeling particularly satisfied with his great-grandson.
Because of the presence of Wang Anye, the An family has almost been robbed of the limelight of other An families. However, in fact, outstanding people from the An family emerge in endlessly, and now many An families have begun to stand alone.
"Great Grandpa is overrated." Wang Anrui, a steady young man, bowed respectfully and humbly. "An Rui's achievements are all due to Grandpa's daily teachings and the help of his elders and clan members."
Even though he seems to be inferior to the sharp-edged Wang Anye, in fact, based on the level of his bloodline qualifications, he is almost comparable to Wei Qingyun of the Wei family in Jing'an of the Immortal Dynasty, or Yu Tai'an of the Wang family of Chaoyang. The only thing he lacks is his age accumulation. .
If placed in a first-grade family of the Immortal Dynasty, it would be enough to become one of the heirs of the entire family.
In terms of ability and maturity in handling family affairs, Wang Anrui is much better than them. At least Wang Anrui never regards himself as a young master.
"By the way." While Wang Shouzhe was drinking tea, he suddenly remembered something, "Do you know that Prince Sheng, the son of Emperor Zi An, is going to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to propose marriage?"
Wang Anrui was stunned and then said: "Rui'er has heard about this. I heard that Princess Naluojia of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is extremely talented and is now looking for a son-in-law from the entire Immortal Dynasty. What do you mean, Grandpa?"
"This time, you should also go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty." Wang Shouzhe ordered.
"What?" Wang Anrui was surprised and excited, "Grandpa, this is absolutely impossible. Rui'er has been married for a long time and has a lot of children and grandchildren. Besides, I heard that Princess Luojia is twenty years older than me. I can't I'm sorry, madam. But if you force me, Grandpa..."
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Shouzhe glared at him and interrupted, "I just want you to accompany Prince Sheng to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to help him win the beauty back. This will definitely do more good than harm to our efforts. "
Wang Anrui wiped the sweat from his forehead in astonishment, suddenly feeling completely uninterested, and cried: "Grandpa, I was very busy at work when I was guarding Qingluowei Town. I really don't want to go."
"Didn't I just think of this?" Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "The main reason is that Emperor An sent a letter, asking us to send two outstanding disciples from the Wang family to support the scene."
"That being the case, Rui'er does have someone to choose from." Wang Anrui cheered up and started to blame the blame, "Compared to Rui'er, they are more than ten times more suitable."
"Let's talk about it." Wang Shouzhe became somewhat interested.
"One is Wang Anyuan, our 21st brother of An generation." Wang Anrui said in a salesperson, "Although Anyuan is usually low-key and just over a hundred years old, his cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, which is still rare. He is of Gengjin bloodline, specializes in swordsmanship and has extraordinary strength."
"Anyuan." Wang Shouzhe nodded and said, "This is a child from my second brother Shouyi's lineage. His bloodline and strength are indeed good. By the way, I remember that boy is not married yet?"
"My twenty-first brother is addicted to swordsmanship. He is still in the higher class and has not graduated from school. Previously, his family urged him to get married. He said that he could not get married if he could not get married with heaven and man. Later, he said that he could not get married if he could not get the Zi Mansion. I think he is He is a sincere scoundrel and refuses to contribute to the family." Wang Anrui completely betrayed his twenty-first brother, "Why don't we let him go to Northern Zhou to gain more experience, and maybe he can come back as a wife of a Northern Zhou family."
"Humph, what if we don't get married? I was almost fooled by him." Wang Shouzhe nodded with a dark face, "An Rui, who is the other candidate?"
"The other person is Wang Ning Yu, the third oldest member of the Ning generation, who is two years older than the twenty-first brother." Wang Anrui said.
"So you recommended Ning Yu." Wang Shouzhe nodded endlessly, "This is a child from my eldest brother's Shouxin family. Remember, he is the third awakened person of the Ice Phoenix bloodline in our Wang family, right? Even Longyan's ancestors treat him differently. Add up.”
"It's more than just looking at each other. I heard that our ancestors passed all the extra magical swords to Wang Ningyu." Wang Anrui sold his nephew very thoroughly, "That kid is as aloof as snow all day long. I can't look down on him." That one doesn't look right, it's said that the old man arranged blind dates for him several times, but he always got involved."
"Forget it, you can arrange this." Wang Shouzhe said with a serious face, "Tell those two incompetent boys that this time I will accompany Prince Sheng to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The first is to assist Prince Sheng in bringing the princess back. The second is to show off well. I will chase two Northern Zhou wives back."
"My great grandfather is famous." Wang Anrui said, "If our Wang family marries the Northern Zhou family, our Qingluo Guard Fleet can trade with the Northern Zhou Dynasty in a large scale."
After Wang Anrui flattered him, he said goodbye to his great-grandfather, and then turned around and held a banquet for Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu in a restaurant in Xinping Town.
Inside the restaurant box.
The two young heroes of the Wang family saluted Wang Anrui in awe: "I've seen Brother Ten/Uncle Ten."
Wang Anrui is a direct descendant of the family. Although he is only considered a direct descendant, he is still an important figure in Qingluo Guard. Naturally, he is comparable to the two scumbags who have not yet graduated from advanced clan studies.
"Anyuan, Ning Yu, don't be formal." Wang Anrui patted his brother and nephew on the shoulders in a kind manner, "We are all a family, let's sit down and talk."
Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu both breathed a sigh of relief, sat down respectfully, and began to toast and dine with Wang Anrui.
After three drinks, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
"Anyuan, Ning Yu." Wang Anrui said earnestly, "This time, I have prepared a good task for you in front of your great-grandfather."
"Brother Ten/Uncle Ten, please give me your instructions." Both of them straightened their figures.
"Accompany King Sheng on his mission to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to support the situation and help him win the favor of Princess Luojia." Wang Anrui said seriously, "However, that is only a secondary task. The main task is that Grandpa ordered you to show your style and marry a daughter-in-law. When I come back, the target is the princesses of marriageable age from the Northern Zhou royal family. Of course, in order to expand the scope, any princess under the age of 250 is acceptable."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu felt as if they were struck by lightning, and tears almost fell down. Tenth Brother/Tenth Uncle, do you want to be so cruel?
We are only in our early 100s, and we are still children who have not graduated from high-level ethnic studies. We don’t want to get married so early.
