Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 117: Royal Blessings

"Have you found something you liked?"

"I have indeed! Thank you for this invitation!"

"No worries, I have to thank you for your help!" the woman smiled and thanked him before sending him away.

’Their cultivation concealing technique is quite good. Even better than what you would find on the market, regardless of where.

Hmm...

Since this inn is on our way to the county, then it might very well be sponsored by the empire.

To think they have spies so deeply in even such small counties...’

When he thought about it, he was worried.

Would there also be spies in the Stone Lotus County?

’There are likely many more spies there since its position is quite special while still not having a Royal Office.

Will they greet us when we enter the county?

Maybe not all, but at least a few groups should, right?’

His thoughts were focused on planning the optimal situation for his two children’s rise in that county.

Or rather, it was his own rise.

Once his children get their respective positions, Mu Yan will instantly gather the fortune of the entire county!

This thought brought him extreme excitement.

He returned to the room.

Feeling the breath of his children, he smiled.

"It’s just a small black market. Officially it’s not allowed, but in officially it centralises local criminality and gives us control over it.

You don’t need to worry.

Sleep and get your rest. From tomorrow on, the journey won’t be as peaceful."

The two nodded imperceptibly before turning in their bed, sleeping.

After all, they were still children. Staying up so long had already exhausted them quite a lot.

Mu Yan walked forward and kissed their foreheads, "I wish you eternal blessing and a prosperous life," he said.

In his dantian, the phoenix edict glowed for a moment with the dragon seal responding. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A small golden dot manifested on their foreheads. It seemed to glow a bit brighter than before. After a second, it disappeared again, as if it had never been there.

Mu Yan returned to his bed.

Taking out the jade slip, he pushed his spirit sense into it.

When it entered, nothing happened.

Everything was as normal as always.

’Either the opportunity isn’t suitable for me, or I’m too weak.’ Mu Yan trusted his own sense of fortune, so he thought of these two reasons.

’I will ask Yuanyun later to try it. If it’s a scholar’s inheritance, then it should fit him. If it still doesn’t work, then he’s likely too weak for now.’

Putting it away, he relaxed his body and fell asleep.

He didn’t need to sleep, but it was the best method to recover body and mind.

...

The next day, Mu Yan woke up and went down to eat breakfast with his two children.

When he came into the large room at the bottom, he saw the delighted wife being hugged by her husband.

"Has it been confirmed?" he asked.

"Yes! We went to the hospital and indeed, I am pregnant! My baby is growing well in the third week. Three weeks and two days to be exact!"

Mu Yan nodded and went to a table, sitting down.

The madam directly came and brought him three large bowls and several side plates filled with food.

Rice, eggs, a meat dish, vegetables and a light soup.

Then she opened her hand and handed a hundred and fifty spirit stones to Mu Yan, "This is a thanks for your help yesterday! You don’t need to pay for the food or accommodation!"

Mu Yan accepted it naturally, he smiled as he told in a whisper only they could hear, "Both of you have deficiencies and shouldn’t have given birth. But your accumulated Royal Fortune has manifested to give you a child.

You should pay homage to the Imperial Office and burn incense for the empire."

A look of shock appeared on the woman’s face, but when she saw the Royal Symbol appear on Mu Yan’s hand, she understood.

She bowed in thanks but didn’t say anything.

When he saw her go, Mu Yan thought she would keep quiet.

Right then he heard a very quiet murmur "Royal blessing, thank the emperor, thank the empire, thank the royal, light incense..." she kept repeating, a teardrop falling on the ground in front of her.

Only she knew how difficult it was in her youth.

Going from an orphan to the position of a Royal Servant and finally, at the end of her studies, she was transferred to the Royal Eye Bureau. Another round of studies came. She became a trained spy and became partners with another spy.

From the prefectural capital she was sent to this county.

Already a Foundation Building cultivator, she had to act like a lesser one and build a black market.

Her whole life was dedicated to the greater cause. Although she was mediocre, she had done everything she could.

But for so many years, the bureau only contacted her a few times.

She had long given up on further progress.

Marrying her partner, she hoped to start a family.

There was no path in this either.

Her heart had been devastated for a long time.

Who knew that after such a long time of servitude, her Royal Fortune finally manifested in the path she wanted to pursue the most!

She went into the kitchen and walked to her husband.

Telling him about what she just heard as well as the royal symbol, she finally couldn’t suppress it and cried for a long time.

The husband, too, wasn’t able to suppress it.

"My wife, our royal blessings have finally arrived! They always told us that we only need to work hard and it would come. All those loyal would earn it."

The two hugged each other for a long time.

This was the way the empire developed such loyal servants and spies.

Giving them room to form a wish and then fulfil it.

From then on, these servants and spies would be the most loyal to the empire.

There was nothing malicious, this was an open scheme no one rejected.
