Chapter 487: Probably Another Marriage Alliance

After Hong Yuye left, Jiang Hao finally relaxed.

He looked at his chest and noticed that the palm imprint was still there.

He didn’t know when the imprint would dissipate. It was too easy for it to fail. He just had to find a way to break off from the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison and have a relations.h.i.+p with other women.

If that happened, the One Heart Palm would completely lose its effect.

Regardless of who it was, if one person in a relations.h.i.+p caused trouble, the palm technique wouldn’t work.

Thinking back to the records in the book he had read about it, he wondered if both the people in the relations.h.i.+p had issues. Maybe that was why the palm hadn’t worked.

So, they both lived in guilt and thought that they had let the other down. It wasn’t impossible.

As for what it would feel like to leave an imprint, he would never know. Hong Yuye would never agree.

‘When you reach a certain level of strength and surpa.s.s worldly concerns, do you really care about physical intimacy?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled.

He cared now because he was still an ordinary person.

Even as a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator, his state of mind was still human. He couldn’t let go of it, no matter how much he convinced himself that he didn’t need it.

However, it was different for powerful individuals. Some formidable ancient experts didn’t even have a gender.

So, he had no idea how such existences would treat their partners and whether they would prioritize strength and benefits.

In some ancient texts, there were few mentions of relations.h.i.+ps between men and women. Most were about strength and personal interests.

Even in personal biographies, they were rarely mentioned.

In a grand scheme, relations.h.i.+ps between men and women seemed somewhat insignificant.

Perhaps those whose minds were preoccupied with such matters would find it difficult to become renowned immortal figures in the world.

This time, when Hong Yuye left, she didn’t leave anything behind. She neither told him to take care of her flower nor gave him anything, except that one mention of Red Azure tea.

That was a somewhat troublesome matter.

Firstly, it required spending ten thousand spirit stones. For him, that was a huge expense.

Fortunately, he was now at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, and buying it once wouldn’t attract too much scrutiny.

This was the change in status brought about by an increase in the cultivation realm.

The Golden Core Realm cultivators were generally a.s.sumed to have a lot of spirit stones.

However, the Golden Core Realm cultivators weren’t any better off than the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

The same applied to Primordial Spirit Realm and Soul Ascension Realm cultivators.

Jiang Hao had experienced this. Most of the time he was quite poor.

It was just by chance that some people left behind a few things, which gave him quite a few spirit stones.

Now, he had approximately 36,500 spirit stones.

After deducting 2,500 he owed to the Law Enforcement Hall, he only had the two thousand five hundred owed to the Peak Enforcement Peak, he had 34,000 left.

His task involved finding someone in Azure Mountain, but unfortunately, he hadn’t had the time to find out more about the person.

He had his own priority. He was pretty laid back about it. If he could do it along the way, all the better. However, if he couldn’t, he didn’t think much about it. In that way, he lost 2,500 spirit stones to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Fortunately, he still had quite a few spirit stones left for now.

Even if he lost ten thousand, he still had more than twenty thousand.

‘Finally, Dan Qingzi’s matter has come to an end. I obtained a clue about Feng Hua, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find him. Thankfully, this matter is not urgent.’

Regarding the tasks given by Hong Yuye, he didn’t dare to draw conclusions too quickly. It involved many factors.

First and foremost, the person concerned was too powerful. It wouldn’t do to meet them unprepared.

Even if Hong Yuye were to take action, he could face danger.

When powerful individuals clashed, the aftermath was something that would impact him too.

Apart from that, there was also Yin Wei and the situation overseas.

‘Yin Wei hasn’t appeared till now. I wonder what he’s waiting for.’

‘I don’t know when someone from overseas will come to investigate Senior Sister Yinsha’s matter.’

As for other things, he didn’t need to worry about them for the time being.

Senior Brother Qian Chen was also acting strange. After the last time, he hadn’t targeted Jiang Hao again.

It seemed as if there had been no grievances at all as if everything about the Blood Wish Path had also stopped after the incident.

Perhaps his goal had already been achieved.

In any case, there wouldn’t be any trouble for the time being.

‘Is this a rare period of peace?’ For Jiang Hao, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

He just didn’t know how long this peace would last.

After taking a break for a while, he could try to buy Red Azure tea.

For now, he couldn’t do it. He needed everyone to know that he had reached the Golden Core Realm before making the purchase.

That way, they would think it was normal.

At the southern border, Bi Zhu walked into a large courtyard.

There were some guards here, but they were all ordinary people.

Occasionally, there were a few with Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivation.

There was a pool and a rock garden in the courtyard, and the people living here were either rich or n.o.ble.

In the middle, a woman paced anxiously.

She sighed helplessly.

Unlike the guards, she was in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

“Auntie Qiao, what’s causing you a headache?” Bi Zhu walked in wearing a pink skirt. Her long hair flowed down her back.

“Your Highness, you’re back!” Auntie Qiao said with joy upon seeing Bi Zhu.

She hurriedly approached and checked her before heaving a sigh of relief.

“You’ve been gone for more than ten years. I almost told them that I couldn’t keep an eye on you.” Auntie Qiao said indignantly.

Bi Zhu tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled. “There are so many princesses. Surely, not everyone is paying attention to me.”

“Not many princesses can live to over three hundred years old…” Auntie Qiao stopped talking when she saw Bi Zhu’s fierce gaze.

“Have you been stationed at the Zhenzhou Prefecture all along?” Bi Zhu looked around.

“Yes. After the last letter that asked us to come to the southern border, we’ve been here all along. But why stay on the border?” Auntie Qiao was puzzled.

“Because the southern part could be destroyed in an instant, ” Bi Zhu said casually.

Auntie Qiao didn’t pay attention to it. She took it as a joke. “Princess, in all these years, did you find someone?”

“Why can’t I travel the south alone?”

“Hmm… you don’t have an aura of cultivation.”

“Maybe it’s just that you can’t see it?”

After hesitating, Auntie Qiao suddenly said, “Princess, are you worried about the five-hundred-year lifespan limit?”

Bi Zhu still maintained her soft smile. “Actually, I’ve never understood why the royal family has a five-hundred-year lifespan.”

Most of the royal family members lacked cultivation talent, yet they had extremely long lifespans. This was innate.

This was a question Auntie Qiao had no answer to.

She changed the topic. “Princess, it’s good that you’re back. His Majesty sent a letter and asked you to return.”

“Just me or everyone?” Bi Zhu asked.

“Everyone.” Auntie Qiao sighed.

“I guess it’s another marriage alliance,” Bi Zhu said indifferently.

“Probably.” Auntie Qiao nodded.

“I have to go back again. There are so many rules in the imperial city,” Bi Zhu said helplessly.

“By the way, there’s news from the imperial city. Your elder brother, Prince Bi You, has completed the Golden Core Realm and entered the Primordial Spirit Realm.” Auntie Qiao smiled.

“Big brother managed to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm? That means he can live for more than a thousand years.” Bi Zhu walked by the lake. She was surprised by the news. “What about my eldest brother?”

“No news yet,” Auntie Qiao said.

“That’s expected. My eldest brother might not even know about my existence. Even if he did, he wouldn’t care. For him, my lifespan isn’t even enough for a trip outside.” Bi Zhu placed her hands behind her back and smiled.

She didn’t care about being ignored by her siblings..
