"I must apologize for making Your Highness laugh." Wang Shouzhe clasped his hands together with an embarrassed smile. "Our emperor truly is..."
"No need, no need." King Chaoyang waved his hand magnanimously and chuckled. "Longchang really is becoming more shameless as he grows older, almost like a playful old child. But in some ways, that’s good—keeping a relaxed mindset might just help him live a few more years."
"Your Highness, Your Grace, this way, please." Wang Shouzhe guided the two into the Stay Immortal Residence, introducing it as they walked. "The Stay Immortal Residence is located at the Formation Eye of our Wang family’s Spirit Gathering Array, making the Spiritual Energy highly concentrated here. Furthermore, with our house’s Li Xian overseeing the area, there is a unique aura of vitality. Long-term residence here can rejuvenate both the physical body and the Divine Soul. Kindly rest for a moment in the courtyard and enjoy some Spiritual Tea. Meanwhile, I’ve arranged for my inner household to tidy up the Stay Immortal Residence for your esteemed visit."
Having prepared in advance, it wasn’t long before Liu Ruolan arrived at the Stay Immortal Residence, accompanied by a group of her sisters-in-law and a host of maids. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Under her direction, the Stay Immortal Residence was swiftly cleaned until it looked brand new. The Wang family’s own-produced daily necessities were set up to demonstrate their regard for hosting King Chaoyang and his consort.
Liu Ruolan, as the foremost lady of the Wang family, was typically responsible for managing household affairs and receiving female guests. With King Chaoyang’s considerable status as an elder female guest, it was naturally appropriate for her to handle these arrangements.
Moreover, according to the letter sent in advance by their great-grandson Wang Anye, the visit seemed to be related to treating King Chaoyang’s illness. Having Ruolan on hand to assist could reduce many inconveniences.
"Your Highness, Your Grace, this is my wife, Ruolan," Wang Shouzhe introduced after Ruolan finished her preparations and came forward.
"Ruolan greets Your Highness and Your Grace." Liu Ruolan courteously offered a bow befitting a junior. "If Your Highness has any requests during your stay, feel free to command me at any time."
"Truly, Ruolan possesses celestial beauty and extraordinary composure—Shouzhe, you’re indeed fortunate, truly fortunate." King Chaoyang warmly took Ruolan’s hand, his smile positively affable. As he spoke, he smoothly produced a gift. "I have here a [Mystic Water Phoenix Hairpin], most suitable for Ruolan’s protection."
The Mystic Water Phoenix Hairpin was a deep bluish-green in color, slightly thicker than an ordinary hairpin yet exquisitely crafted. The phoenix bird on the hairpin’s end, wings poised for flight, appeared lifelike. Waves of energy surged around it, its surface shimmering with dynamic, flowing light.
Clearly, this was a rare Divine Spiritual Treasure.
"You are far too generous, Your Highness." Liu Ruolan hurriedly declined. "I’ve done nothing to deserve such an extravagant gift."
"They say a precious hairpin is best gifted to a beauty. Ruolan, we’ve hit it off at first sight—why shouldn’t you accept?" King Chaoyang affectionately looped Ruolan’s arm and personally placed the Mystic Water Phoenix Hairpin into her hair, explaining, "This hairpin was a personal reward from the Immortal Emperor when I achieved merit on the battlefield in my youth. When activated with God Sense, it transforms into a water-element phoenix to assist in combat. With sufficient energy, the phoenix can last for approximately one stick of incense in duration, with combat prowess akin to a Level Nine Fierce Beast within the early stage of Divine Power Territory."
"It’s ideal for keeping at hand for protection, Ruolan. As for the specifics of its use, you can communicate with its Artifact Spirit during your free time."
Liu Ruolan could no longer refuse and gratefully accepted the treasure, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity. To show my gratitude, I will personally oversee the welcome banquet for Your Highness and Your Grace."
Wang Shouzhe’s expression subtly shifted for an instant.
Yet King Chaoyang seemed delighted, gripping Liu Ruolan’s hand and exclaiming warmly, "What a thoughtful child you are!"
Although Liu Ruolan held the status of ’Grand Matriarch’ within her family, she was only just over two hundred years old. From the perspective of King Chaoyang, who had lived for over 3,300 years, she was still nothing more than a child.
Unaware of the metaphorical ’abyss’ Liu Ruolan represented, King Chaoyang exchanged a few pleasantries before transitioning to the main matter.
She produced a Xirang Bracelet and said to Wang Shouzhe, "Master Shouzhe, this is the Tree of Fortune entrusted to me by your family’s young master Anye to bring back to the Wang clan. He is presently tied up with mundane affairs in the Chaoyang Ji Clan and cannot return to Dongqian for the time being."
Meanwhile, King Chaoyang couldn’t help but reflect on how open-hearted the people of Changning Wang Clan truly were. Their trust and sincerity were remarkable—even when entrusting something as invaluable as the Tree of Fortune, they didn’t seem to fear it being misappropriated!
"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."
Wang Shouzhe accepted the bracelet with due respect. Upon lightly activating it, a spatial energy fluctuation followed, releasing the Tree of Fortune housed within the Xirang Bracelet.
It was a slender and graceful sapling, both its trunk and branches markedly thin.
The sapling was modest in size, just slightly taller than a person. However, its trunk appeared almost excessively fragile—so much so that it left an impression of weakness. Its leaves, slightly yellowed, hung limp without much vitality.
Evidently, years of being forcibly drained of its Innate Power Source had inflicted severe damage. A tree that should’ve been brimming with life and vigor now seemed frail and unsteady.
Arriving in this unfamiliar setting, with its most trusted guardian Wang Anye absent, the tree seemed nervous and fearful. Its roots and branches involuntarily curled in apprehension.
This sight stirred pangs of sympathy in Wang Shouzhe and the others, prompting silent curses against the misdeeds of the Wei Family.
Even King Chaoyang couldn’t help but feel moved.
Just then.
A stream of Spiritual Energy infused with traces of Immortal Spirit Qi descended from above. Gentle and nurturing, it enveloped the Tree of Fortune, making it feel as though it were submerged in warm, comforting waters.
