Chapter 2012: Chapter 2011: Departure
"Give me a reason!" Zhang Xiaohao put down his chopsticks, took a deep drag on his panda cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said.
"Your kingly aura, majestic demeanor, and your powerful presence have completely captivated Ning’er. Is that reason strong enough?" Tianqing True Monarch said with a smile.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao chuckled playfully.
"Young friend, give me a straightforward answer! Do you agree or not?" Tianqing True Monarch asked.
"What if I don’t agree?" Zhang Xiaohao asked playfully.
"Only heaven knows that." Tianqing True Monarch said helplessly.
"And if I agree?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.
"As long as you agree, I am willing to give you half of Tianqing Giant City’s wealth!" Tianqing True Monarch said.
"Wealth is unnecessary; I’m not lacking Spirit Stones! Alright, time is tight, I’ll head over first. I will leave at this time tomorrow!" Zhang Xiaohao stood up and said.
With that, he turned and walked towards the rear courtyard room.
Once Zhang Xiaohao had completely left, Tianqing Zi looked puzzled.
"Father, isn’t this a loss?" Tianqing Zi asked.
"What do you understand? As long as he goes to Ning’er’s place tonight, haha! The future will be out of his hands." Tianqing True Monarch laughed like an old fox.
"Father, I still don’t quite understand." Tianqing Zi said.
"Hehe! Ning’er has cultivated a special Secret Technique; she’ll succeed with just one try. You just wait to hold a grandson! With the offspring of such a prodigy, I imagine the talent will also be extraordinary, even if slightly weaker, it won’t be much! By then, when he grows up, it will be the time for our Tianqing Family to fully rise!" Tianqing True Monarch said proudly.
"Ah! Father, is this true?" Tianqing Zi’s eyes lit up as he spoke.
"Nonsense! I met with Ning’er on my way here, and this whole thing was her idea! I wasn’t lying about one thing: Ning’er indeed got charmed by his kingly aura and willingly wants to have a child with him! Once this child is born, he will be completely tied to our Tianqing Family. With such talent, by the time he matures, even both the old ancestors in Divine City may not be able to contain him! Plus, with his child, the Bi Mu Divine Race will be our Tianqing Family’s domain in the future!!!" Tianqing True Monarch said enthusiastically.
"Father, could it be that Ning’er has cultivated the family’s Secret Technique?" Tianqing Zi said with a serious expression.
"Yes! It’s precisely that Secret Technique! Once this is done, Ning’er’s millennia of hard cultivation will dissipate overnight! She’ll probably have to start over. But it’s good this way, more practice will make her foundation even more solid. Thankfully, our Tianqing Family doesn’t lack cultivation resources!" Tianqing True Monarch sighed.
"Sigh! It’s really hard on this child!" Tianqing Zi said with a wry smile.
Then, the two of them picked up their wine cups and started drinking.
On the other side.
Under the guidance of a maid, Zhang Xiaohao had already entered Tian Ning’er’s boudoir.
"You’re here!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao arrive, Tian Ning’er removed the veil from her face and smiled slightly.
"With your talent, why would you go through with this?" Zhang Xiaohao sighed and shook his head.
"Better to be a chicken’s head than a cow’s tail! Alright, today is a joyous day, let’s not talk about things that spoil the mood." Tian Ning’er smiled slightly.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced around; the walls and the boudoir were adorned with red festive decorations. It seemed Tian Ning’er had put in a lot of effort for this day!
"My name is Tian Ning’er, what’s yours?" Tian Ning’er asked.
"My name is Zhang Xiaohao; Zhang from Zhang, Xiao from little, Hao from heroic!" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.
"Let’s drink!" Tian Ning’er suggested.
Speaking, she walked to the table, picked up a red wine pot, poured two cups, and handed one over.
Zhang Xiaohao accepted the wine cup unceremoniously and drank it all in one gulp.
Tian Ning’er did the same, finished the wine in her cup, waved her right hand, and instantly a barrier activated, enveloping the entire room as she looked shyly at Zhang Xiaohao.
Even though she had already made up her mind, at this moment, her heart still filled with awkwardness. She bit her lip and closed her eyes, appearing as if she was surrendering herself.
...
Without a word all night, the next day at this same time, Zhang Xiaohao exited the room.
Although he hadn’t slept all night, he felt refreshed and vibrant without any fatigue. After leaving the room, as he reached the back yard pavilion, Tianqing True Monarch and Tianqing Zi were still drinking.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohao come out, their eyes lit up as they scrutinized Zhang Xiaohao thoroughly.
"Well! Well! Well! I truly did not misjudge you!" Tianqing True Monarch laughed heartily.
With a wave of his right hand, a storage bag flew towards Zhang Xiaohao.
"No need!" Just as the storage bag was about to reach him, Zhang Xiaohao waved his right hand, and the flying storage bag flew back towards Tianqing True Monarch.
"In that case, I won’t be polite with you." Tianqing True Monarch laughed.
"Give this to her! When she wakes up, give this to her!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
He flipped his right hand, took out a storage bag, and handed it over.
"Okay!" Tianqing True Monarch agreed.
"Are you leaving now?" Tianqing True Monarch asked after receiving the storage bag.
"Yes! I have to go! The waters here are too shallow to hold me!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back.
"Safe travels!" Tianqing True Monarch said.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded, tapped his foot, and a golden cloud appeared under him, carrying him shooting towards the horizon.
"Visit when you can!" Suddenly, Tianqing Zi shouted towards Zhang Xiaohao’s departing figure.
"I will!" Zhang Xiaohao’s voice came from the horizon.
Then, after a few flashes, Zhang Xiaohao’s figure completely disappeared.
Once Zhang Xiaohao’s figure had completely disappeared, Tianqing True Monarch spoke towards a direction.
"Silly girl, he’s gone already, come out!"
As he finished speaking, Tian Ning’er’s figure came from behind.
"Did you hear what he said? Maybe he already knew you were coming, and that’s why he specially left this for you." Tianqing True Monarch said.
He tossed the storage bag over as he spoke.
"Ning’er, why don’t you open the storage bag and see what’s inside?" Tianqing Zi said curiously.
"Mm." Tian Ning’er thought for a while and nodded.
She held up the storage bag and poured it over the ground.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, a thousand Divine Stones and two golden jade slips appeared on the ground.
