That's what villains are like

Chapter 117 The Dao Fruit of the Year, Will You Marry the Present Emperor Xia?
Xiangguo Mansion, the courtyard of the inner mansion.

Jiang Lan stayed overnight in Yuxianfang yesterday, and as soon as she returned to the courtyard, she saw a pretty girl standing in front of her.

She seemed to have been there waiting for herself.

Seen from a distance, his skin is icy and his bones have a jade-like luster under the moonlight. He is far fairer and more delicate than ordinary people, like a sculpture made of ice and snow.

If you look closely, you can even see the almost transparent skin, which can be broken by blowing a bullet.

"Not bad." He casually praised.

You'er is still wearing a black skirt with a plain belt around her waist, and the top edge of myrobalan is cut into a petal shape, which is beautiful and makes her figure very slender and exquisite.

The blue silk is like a daisy, the light can be seen, and it quietly hangs down to the waist, looking cute and lovely.

There is no trace of scar on the whole body, the face is white and delicate, the eyebrows and eyes are as depicted in a painting, and the eyelashes are thick and long, fluttering like a small fan.

Hearing Jiang Lan's praise, the roots of his ears quickly became hot and red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, Lord...Master..." She pinched the sleeves of her skirt and followed behind Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan turned her head and reached out to rub her head, saying, "Xueyu Shengji Cream combined with Xisui Pill, the effect is much better than I imagined."

"However, this is also due to the exquisite and beautiful facial features of your own, so don't be too surprised."

You'er's face became hotter and hotter.

When she first saw her appearance like this, she was so shocked that she almost couldn't recognize her.

The person in the bronze mirror seems to have stepped out of a picture scroll.

All the scars on her face were gone and she was as smooth as a peeled egg.

In addition, many hidden wounds and old diseases on the body have almost recovered and healed.

The arm that was broken that day in the arena was also intact.

It's a pity that she waited anxiously for Jiang Lan to come back yesterday, wanting him to see the changes in her body, but it's a pity that he didn't come back.

She waited in the courtyard all night until the cock crowed at Mao Shi, but Jiang Lan was nowhere to be seen.

In the past two days in Xiangguo Mansion, she lived like a dream, with the best food and clothing, comfortable and warm silk quilts, clean and delicious food, and no need to be called to fight with others A big battle, causing scars all over her body, and a very good... master.

"Do you like this kind of life?"

Jiang Lan casually pushed open the door of the bedroom.

The current change in You'er's mentality is still within his expectations.

Her own nature is very simple and simple, and she is grateful to whoever treats her well, and she will not say anything in her heart.

"Hi...like..." You'er silently followed behind him.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "As long as you like it, but I asked you to follow me, not to put you as a vase."

You'er followed him to the bedroom, the lights were brilliant, the mist filled the air, and the golden lamp and censer were lit, it was very warm.

She raised her amber eyes when she heard the words, and stammered, "Master... what does Master want You'er to do?"

"You...You'er, you can do laundry, cook, boil water...servant..."

When it came to serving the bed, she was a little coy and shy, and didn't say it out, or maybe she felt that she didn't have the qualifications.

"You don't need to do these chores. I want you to do other things for me."

"Here are several exercises, and you have learned them all during this time."

"If you learn it, you can do things for me."

With a wave of Jiang Lan's hand, several jade slips wrapped in flowing light fell in front of You'er.

He had already prepared these exercises before. These are the exercises that Lin Fan adapted to You'er's physique and talent in the original plot, Youming Youjue, Yanxia God-shaped Step, Illusory Moon Body, Hollow Spirit Rhinoceros Finger ...

You'er right now is just a piece of rough jade waiting to be carved, these martial arts and supernatural powers are just enough to allow her to fully display her current talents.

You'er stared blankly at these jade slips, then hurriedly took them.

"You...You'er...you must learn it soon." She showed determination and persistence.

When she was in the gladiatorial arena, she had never been exposed to cultivation techniques, and often relied on her talent and skills to fight against the death row prisoners.

Although those death row prisoners were imprisoned, almost most of them were stronger than her.

If she had the strength in cultivation, it would not be so difficult to deal with those condemned prisoners, but the arena would not waste resources such as spirit stones on her...

So until now, You'er has not really set foot on the practice, but she has a mana cultivation level in her body that is comparable to the third spirit sea realm.

Jiang Lan knew this, so he wasn't worried, if You'er only started to practice now, would it be too late...

As a ghost family, her strongest point lies in her void talent.

When she is a little stronger, she will be able to do many things for Jiang Lan.

It is still in the investment period.

And after getting these jade slips, You'er began to devote all her attention to them, trying to learn them as soon as possible.

Jiang Lan didn't bother her, and let her study by herself.

In the next few days, an undercurrent began to surge in the imperial capital.

With the arrival of the Nanshou drill, a fleet of extremely luxurious cloud boats and chariots came from all over the place, the haze bloomed, the five-colored light filled the air, and was shrouded in the fairy mist, which can be described as extremely magnificent.

In order to participate in this Nanshou exercise, all the immortal sects and Taoists, led by many elders, brought the younger generation, all gearing up and excited, trying to make a name for themselves.

In the imperial capital, there was also a result regarding the whereabouts of the strange stone suspected of being a fairy fetus that was auctioned that day.

In the end, it turned out to be bought by that mysterious woman from Yijian Palace's disciple named "Zhang Yuan".

This news caused many people to be surprised and shocked. They didn't know how the mysterious woman persuaded "Zhang Yuan" to buy the strange stone.

And many people also got the news, even some clan members of the royal family were paying attention to that strange stone, wanting to explore its mystery.

Unfortunately, the mysterious woman disappeared without a trace afterwards, and no one knew where she went.

The whereabouts of the strange stone is like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace.

Many people thought that she was worried about being robbed by Jiang Lan's revenge, so she left the imperial capital early.

After all, at the auction meeting that day, Jiang Lan personally threatened her in full view.

Many eyes that had been secretly watching "Zhang Yuan" were also withdrawn one after another, secretly regretting.

On the contrary, many people want to know where the life-sustaining fetish on his body came from, and they have been paying a visit these days.

But the imperial capital is an imperial capital after all, and the rules are strict. Although some old guys are very eager for life-continuing things, they dare not mess around. Breaking the rules of Daxia.

And his name, in just a few days, spread all over the alley teahouses in the imperial capital, attracting many people's attention.

Many younger generations secretly remembered this name.

Jiang Lan practiced during the day and listened to music at night. His life was boring and boring, but during these few days, he also received unexpected surprises.

The second Qi Luck Dao Fruit, which was already close to maturity, finally matured.

He sensed that it was Chu Chan who had gained a lot, so he also received a huge amount of luck back.

Jiang Lan's consciousness was immersed in Niwan Palace.

A vine carved from emerald green and seemingly flawless jade, shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere, took root there.

The vines are not thick, the leaves are green and crystal clear, like jade, shimmering and lustrous, with strands of mist-like substance lingering around.

Each leaf is different, some are shaped like swords, some are like blood emeralds, and there are also many shapes such as white tiger and red bird, filled with mysterious light.

In the middle of several branches and leaves, there is a fruit-like thing hanging there.

Now it is the size of a fist, filled with a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.

On the other side of this Qi Luck Dao Fruit is the Fate Dao Fruit that Jiang Lan has already integrated, but even if it is fed back by a strong luck, it will take a lot of time and luck before the third stage.

"What kind of talent will be brought after the fusion of the second luck dao fruit?"

Jiang Lan was looking forward to it, and as his mind sank away, he began to merge with the luck fruit, and a mysterious and mysterious aura began to emerge from him.

Fortunately, it is daytime now, he screened everyone away, and no one in the palace could notice the abnormality on him.

Suddenly, Jiang Lan felt that his consciousness seemed to be drifting in a boundless and mysterious river without knowing its vastness.

The river is sparkling, sometimes calm, sometimes deep, and occasionally stirred up waves, but it seems to contain some broken marks, vicissitudes and long history, reflecting the past, present and future.

That river has countless branches, running through countless universes and time and space, as if it is eternal and eternal, and it seems to be changing with every breath.

"The river of time?"

Jiang Lan instantly understood the existence of this river. His consciousness was like a ray of light, wandering in the long river of time, experiencing the scouring and baptism of the years, sitting and looking at the past, present and future.

This process lasted for an unknown amount of time, like a moment, but also like a long time.

When Jiang Lan woke up, the sky outside had already dimmed, and the moon was hanging high, cold and bright.

He glanced at the misty Dao Fruit that seemed to have some kind of lingering breath of time, and after a little thought, he named it the Dao Fruit of Years.

In addition to the Dao Fruit of Fate, he now has another Dao Fruit of Years, and this Dao Fruit has obviously touched the realm of time.

Although he can't control time at present, he can slightly control the flow of time in a certain area within the small area covered by his consciousness.

Just like he manipulated life before.

Jiang Lan pushed open the door of the palace and came to the courtyard. With a sweeping gaze, he noticed a green grass growing between the gaps in the rockery beside the green pool.

As his thoughts moved, the void there seemed to blur, and an inexplicable power descended.

Then the green tender grass grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it was taller than the surrounding tender grass.

This process is not reversible, and at the same time, it has no effect on the time outside that range.

The area there seems to be separated from the world alone.

Jiang Lan continued to try again, detaining a spirit fish in the blue pool. With the same method, the size of the spirit fish grew rapidly, and it was several times larger than the other spirit fish in a blink of an eye.

As Jiang Lan's thoughts deepened and the time flow speeded up on his body, an aging breath began to permeate the spirit fish, and its lifespan came to an end.

"In addition to time, in fact, in this process, there is also the manipulation of life. As time goes by, life is constantly changing until it decays..."

"This is acting on other living individuals. If it is on me, it may really change a person's lifespan in the future."

Jiang Lan thought to himself, the current Sui Zhi Dao Fruit is only the first stage, but it has already reached a terrifying level.

In this world, even the eighth, ninth, or even stronger existences cannot manipulate and change time.

Then, Jiang Lan tried to turn back the time, but compared with the normal passage of time, it was very difficult to turn back the time. After just manipulating it for a while, he felt slightly dizzy in his head.

Jiang Lan didn't continue to try, he already understood how to manipulate and use it.

However, this method of rebelling against nature still needs to pay a high price.

However, with the strength of his cultivation base, this method of manipulating time might not be able to be used as a hole card.

Even if it is an existence with an extremely advanced cultivation base, it will be impossible to guard against.

"After a while, a third luck dao fruit should grow..."

"How many will there be in the end?"

"However, after one more Dao Fruit of Years, the maturity of the Dao Fruit of Fate to the third stage is much slower. The same amount of luck is still unable to supply and supplement the growth of these two Dao Fruits. consume."

"Right now, I can only play Emperor Xia's idea, but she has been in the palace these days and never shows up..."

Jiang Lan suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't support these two Dao fruits.

He was lost in thought.

Moreover, Su Qinghan, as the heroine of the original plot, why has there been no feedback for so long?Logically speaking, after returning to Daocang Sword Sect, she should also start exerting her strength.

Could it be that because of his relationship, Sword Immortal Yuqing began to alienate her, creating a estrangement for her?
Why don't you just let her go to the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountain?
But with her current strength, it is very likely that she will die there.

Jiang Lan shook her head slightly, trying to perceive her current situation through the weak luck fed back by Su Qinghan, and then she didn't know what to say.

"The love brain is really unreliable..."

Although he had been to Daocang Sword Sect for many days, it was only these few days that Su Qinghan calmed down a little and began to focus on cultivation.

Some time ago, she had been thinking about how to resolve her master's misunderstanding of Jiang Lan, which also caused her to not focus on her practice.

Jiang Lan didn't want her to resolve any hatred for him. If he practiced honestly, he would get more chances and luck, which would be the best reward for him.

In the original plot, Su Qinghan didn't think much about her children's love at all, but she was all focused on her cultivation.

"In the end, only Chu Chan is the one who is completely focused on her career now."

"Looking back, I need to give Su Qinghan some motivation and urging, even if I'm too used to her..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan remembered, to perceive what kind of luck Chu Chan got.

Just now, I was so focused on the second Dao fruit that I didn't pay attention to her.

The next moment, with a slight movement of thoughts, Jiang Lan followed the power of luck gathered in the dark to perceive Chu Chan's situation.

"As an outsider, I safely entered the family land of Beiming Chen's family, and obtained the approval of the vase left by Beiming Ancient Heavenly Venerable through the imprint of the gods left by him."

"Afterwards, through the Beiming Aquarius, Chen Ning condensed the soul-controlling curse, and let Chen Ning spread it in the Beiming Chen family, controlling the life and death of many people in the Chen family..."

"So I also took the opportunity to control part of the Beiming Chen family's clan land. With the help of its resources, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and I have refined many rare treasures and learned a few rare secret techniques."

"The luck that brought me back also came from one of the exercises called Tianzun Yushu Gong..."

After Jiang Lan felt what Chu Chan had done during this period, she expressed her deep appreciation.

In just a short time, earth-shaking changes have already taken place. After she truly controls Beiming Chen's family, she will probably be able to obtain the true inheritance of Beiming Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

"This guy has great ambitions, but no matter how big he is, he is still under my control."

"This time the Nanshou drill, Yaowanggu will also participate. By the way, let's see if Xiao Yingyue can come over."

Before Jiang Lan asked Xiao Yingyue to help him refine the Soft Soul Huaxian Powder.

But until now, there has been no news, and it is not known whether she has refined it.

The Soft Soul Transforming Immortal Powder can even be tricked by monks in the seventh realm.

After being recruited, one's cultivation base will disappear, and one will become an ordinary person. Without an antidote, it is basically impossible to resolve it.

If Xiao Yingyue has already been refined, then after the Southern Hunting Conference, Emperor Xia will invite the immortals from all over the world, maybe I can prepare a... scare for her?
……

"Ah..."

In the depths of the majestic palace, Emperor Xia, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and crowned on his head, was reading and correcting the memorial carefully behind the copybook.

In the huge Chengming Hall, it was very quiet, only the crisp crashing sounds of the memorials she threw down from time to time.

In her arms, a white cat with pure white hair and different eyes lay lazily on its stomach, with its big fluffy tail sweeping from time to time, looking very comfortable.

"Has Your Majesty caught a cold?"

"The servant girl will order the maid to bring up the stove."

The maid standing behind Emperor Xia stepped forward and asked.

Emperor Xia shook his head lightly, and said, "I have dragon energy to protect my body, so why would I catch a cold? The little white tail brushed my nose just now."

Hearing this, the white cat in her arms immediately rolled its eyes, could it be her fault?
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, let's rest and go to bed, these memorials are endless."

Chunlan, the maid behind her, said with distress.

"It's okay, it's not time to be ugly yet."

"There are quite a lot of memorials accumulated in the past few days. I don't know how long they will accumulate until they are corrected."

Emperor Xia waved his hand, his eyes continued to fall on the memorials in front of him, his brows were furrowed and relaxed from time to time.

Although the expression on the face is calm, the changes in his emotions can be clearly perceived.

Obviously, when she saw some of the memorials, she was a little angry, but she still restrained herself after years of cultivation.

Seeing this, Chunlan behind her sighed uncontrollably, feeling very distressed.

In the past few days in the imperial capital, people from various immortal sects and orthodoxy have come one after another. While planning the Nanshou drill, His Majesty has to arrange the residence of various immortal sects and orthodoxy.

Among them, if there is a lineage of immortals who are close to the royal family, she will have to meet them in person.

In addition, we must pay attention to the people of the Blood Immortal Sect, and beware of the secret tricks of the Xiangguo Mansion and other vassal kings and county kings.

At the same time, Emperor Xia had to deal with the assassination and attack of the younger generation of the rich and powerful families some time ago.

Just as the big event of Nanshou's rehearsal was imminent, it was impossible for her to send people to thoroughly investigate the entire imperial capital.

Not to mention the current imperial capital, where fish and dragons are mixed, and many people have come. Once a thorough investigation is made, it will definitely affect people's hearts.

As Emperor Xia's personal maid, Chunlan could clearly see that Emperor Xia had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

If you take off the magic weapon of Yirong, you can see that her face has lost a lot of weight, it is really about the size of a slap.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being overwhelmed.

In the past few days, Emperor Xia didn't even have a bite of breakfast, and today he was reviewing the memorial from noon to the current morning ugly hour.

The advantages of any Mingjun can be seen in Emperor Xia, who is dedicated, hard-working, diligent, and caring for the people. Unfortunately, the situation in Great Xia is still not optimistic.

"Chunlan, what's the result of my investigation at the Dark Flower Pavilion?"

At this time, as if thinking of something, Emperor Xia suddenly put down the memorial in his hand and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Hu Heng has already inquired about his junior sister, and there is indeed no record of Jiantiansi and the son of Xiangguo's mansion."

"Judging from the news, it should have been destroyed more than ten years ago, but I also learned some useful information from it." Chunlan said respectfully.

"Oh? What useful information?"

Emperor Xia seemed to be quite interested in this matter. While asking, he also stretched his somewhat sore waist, and under the bright yellow dragon robe, an incomparably astonishing curve suddenly appeared.

"Young Master Xiangguo's Mansion once had an older sister," Chunlan said.

"elder sister?"

Emperor Xia's eyes suddenly narrowed, and with his slender, white and slender hands, he knocked on the copy in front of him unhurriedly.

"And what else?" she continued.

"Young Master of the Xiangguo Mansion...he should be practicing for the second time."

"The second time? For what reason did he lose his cultivation before?" Emperor Xia was slightly taken aback, and then asked.

"I don't know this servant, Hu Heng only learned about this matter through his junior sister..."

"His junior sister is a rare genius in Yushou Mountain for thousands of years. She has been able to communicate with insects, fish, birds and beasts since she was a child. It is said that she has deduced information from various birds and beasts."

"Xiangguo Mansion kept this matter very strict, almost no news was leaked out, even Jiantiansi's files were destroyed." Chunlan replied.

Emperor Xia nodded thoughtfully.

……

Breakfast the next day.

Jiang Lan asked about his father's plan for Nanshou's drill by the way.

The barbarian's original strategy had changed, and he felt it was still necessary, so he reminded his father to avoid too much loss at that time.

The kung fu practiced by his father needs to carry the fate of the country to cultivate humanity, and then apply the method of luck to the dynasty to condense the foundation of the feather.

This meant that his father could not let Daxia be ruined, but instead tried to maintain the stability of the situation.

Therefore, even though he is the prime minister and has the right to dominate the world, he has never destroyed the foundation of Daxia, let alone changed the dynasty.

Let's not talk about whether it can stabilize people's hearts after doing this, even if it is done, it will cause all kinds of troubles.

The rest of Kyushu will immediately compete with Zhongtian Prefecture and compete for resources. When the new dynasty is established, it will definitely collapse.

There are no eggs under the covering nest.

His father understood this truth, so he didn't completely break up with Emperor Xia, but kept weakening his power secretly, making him a puppet emperor.

Emperor Xia was naturally unwilling to be reduced to a puppet, and deliberately held the power of the central government in his own hands. This was also the reason why the internal situation in Great Xia had been turbulent for so many years.

"Lan'er, are you telling me to try my best to accommodate Emperor Xia before Nanshou, so that she will have more thoughts to deal with this matter?"

Jiang Lintian was surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Lan to remind him like this.

"Let the royal family meddle in this matter. There is no need for father to make a mess. The Blood Immortal Cult and the barbarians will not make the royal family comfortable."

"If father believes in me, just watch the show honestly before going south," Jiang Lan said.

Jiang Lintian naturally believed Jiang Lan's words. Hearing what he said, he started to think.

In that corner of the fragment of the future, Xiangguo Mansion was destroyed. Although it was caused by Lin Fan, but now that Lin Fan is dead, will the future really not be changed?

Although Lin Fan said that he had great luck and was reincarnated from an ancient power, under the general trend of the world, he could only be regarded as a speck of dust at best.

During this period of time, he was actually thinking about this matter.

What kind of cause is planted, what kind of fruit will be obtained, Jiang Ruxian was the best example back then...

The bad results of the treatment of the royal family have already been forged. If you want to change this general trend, you still have to improve your own strength.

"What Lan'er said is correct, there is indeed no need to waste your own strength because of this kind of thing."

"This Nanshou rehearsal is just a matter of watching a play, and I don't want to get involved in this muddy water for my father." Jiang Lintian said.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

At this time, Jiang Lintian also seemed to suddenly think of another matter, which Ji Shi had mentioned to him before.

"Speaking of which, Lan'er, your cultivation base is improving rapidly now. I originally planned to discuss this matter with you after you broke through the three realms."

"But your current understanding of the situation in Great Xia is beyond my father's expectations, so my father will ask you, would you like to marry the current emperor of Xia?"

Jiang Lan was drinking tea when she heard this, she almost spit out the tea in her mouth.

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

He coughed a few times before looking at Jiang Lintian, but he didn't expect him to ask himself so seriously.

I was a little greedy for the luck of Emperor Xia, when I saw her in the boat that day, I tried to find out her fate, but failed.

Longyun protects the body, and the luck is strong like transpiration.

As the current lord of Great Xia, Emperor Xia's luck includes not only the luck of the people, but also the luck of the country and the dragon.

But... I really didn't want her body.

The crime of bullying the king?The crime of riding the king?
"Emperor Xia is a daughter. This matter is not a secret to me. Although she tried her best to cover it up, she couldn't hide it from someone who cared. However, for the current situation in Great Xia, no one will reveal it."

"Master Ji made a point that day. After discussing with your mother, I think this method is feasible."

"After you and Emperor Xia got married, gave birth to an heir and became the Crown Prince, it doesn't matter whether the Great Xia's surname is Jiang or Xia in the future."

"After having an heir, Emperor Xia probably won't have too many complaints, and it won't have much impact on the current situation in the court." Jiang Lintian said seriously.

Jiang Lan intends to deal with Emperor Xia, but it's just for her luck, but his father wanted him to take her as well?

"..."

Seeing that Jiang Lan has remained expressionless and silent since hearing this.

Jiang Lintian thought that he was resisting. After all, since the founding of Daxia, it was the first time that a queen appeared.

Once this matter is revealed, it is said that Jiang Lan is to marry Emperor Xia, but in fact it is for Emperor Xia to "marry" Jiang Lan.

It sounds a little weird, but if you really care about your face, it might be a bit embarrassing for a man.

"If Lan'er thinks it's inappropriate to suffer from this matter, then he should be his father and didn't say anything. There are ways, and this one is not bad..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Lintian changed his tone and spoke seriously again.

"No, father..."

"The child thinks this method is feasible."

When Jiang Lan heard the words, she also recovered from the subtle surprise just now, and interrupted.

Jiang Lintian looked at him in a daze.

"This is indeed a good idea. For the sake of my father's plan, this loss is nothing." Jiang Lan also said seriously.

"Lan'er can think so, I feel very relieved for my father."

There seemed to be a somewhat relieved smile on Jiang Lintian's face.

It's just that with Emperor Xia's personality, it will take some work to force her to agree to this matter.

But for him, it's only a matter of time.

"As long as you agree, Lan'er, I will leave the rest to my father."

He smiled, stood up and patted Jiang Lan's shoulder.

Jiang Lan watched Jiang Lintian leave, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

With Emperor Xia's character, if he knew that his father and son were plotting against her like this, his lungs would probably explode.

But what Jiang Lintian said really reminded Jiang Lan that since he wanted luck, wouldn't this be a good way to take a shortcut?
He didn't think about it this way before, mainly because he felt that the feasibility was too low, and his parents might be more skeptical.
