Chapter 131 Did I hear that right?
Although Mu Yunjian obtained the essence of the Nine Infants, it only accounted for one-ninth of the essence of the Nine Infants.
Not to mention, he didn't even have the ability to completely consume one-ninth of that essence blood.
He's stuck here now, only able to maintain this size of rabbit form.
Transformation into human form is out of the question; he can only become human again after he has survived the tribulation of transformation.
Mu Yunjian was trembling with anger.
Blood ties are an insurmountable barrier for him in this lifetime.
Only if the true form of the Nine-Headed Serpent is present can the imperial edict be made to yield.
Moreover, this is based on the premise that Jiuying possesses ten thousand years of cultivation.
If Jiuying and Dizhao were both ancient demons, it would be difficult to determine the winner in a battle between them.
Yun Yici reached out and gathered the ruffled rabbit, then brought it back to her side.
After all the trouble on the way, we are finally arriving at the City Lord's Mansion.
Yun Yici was relieved to see that the Emperor's edict was indeed true and that there was no intention to harm Mu Yunjian.
She also had a little dog, Xiao Ba, hidden in her sleeve. Luckily, Xiao Ba was quite obedient, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.
With the imperial edict in sight, Mu Yunjian shouldn't even think about getting close to Yun Yici.
Before the two siblings could get close, the man in black, a subordinate of the emperor, was already waiting for orders in front of the sedan chair.
The emperor promptly passed the troublesome rabbit to his subordinates, then got out of his sedan chair and reached out to help Yun Yici.
Yun Yici's lips twitched, and she nimbly jumped to the ground, avoiding his hand.
Then, seeing the little rabbit struggling in the hands of the man in black, she couldn't help but plead with the emperor, "My senior brother and I are like siblings. It's alright for him to be with me."
Ignoring the still throbbing pain in his finger bones, the emperor chuckled and said, "You underestimate your senior brother."
Yun Yici regarded the dead rabbit as a sibling, but the little rabbit didn't think so.
The cold-hearted demon treats the opposite sex as his possession. Isn't that clear enough?
If it weren't for Yun Yici's presence, he would have killed the demon who coveted his partner right there in the sedan chair.
The sedan chair behind the two arrived a little late. After it stopped, Yu Suqing climbed down from the sedan chair with a dazed look on her face.
When she saw Yun Yici, her eyes reddened and she felt like crying again.
She didn't want to enter the city lord's mansion. If Yun Yici hadn't been there, she would have turned around and fled long ago.
Yun Yici couldn't care less about Yu Suqing at this moment.
She was worried that if she wasn't careful, Mu Yunjian would be killed by the Emperor's subordinates, so she kept a close eye on the Emperor and his subordinates' actions.
However, her expression only fueled the emperor's jealousy.
Fortunately, the disappearance of Yun Yici and Yu Suqing caused quite a stir.
As soon as they arrived at the city lord's mansion, Wen Fuyue and the others were already waiting for the city lord in the reception hall.
Rong Xuan informed Wen Fuyue, and Wen Fuyue and Ning Tinglan both arrived, while the little fox demon Wan Nian stayed behind on the spirit boat to keep watch.
As for Lin Zhao, he was naturally also in the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as Yu Suqing saw him, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and burst into tears. The grievances and frights she had suffered before finally had a place to be released.
Wen Fuyue and the others naturally focused their attention on Yun Yici.
Wen Fuyue frowned when she saw the handsome imperial edict beside Yun Yici and the black-clad man who exuded a threatening aura.
Not to mention Mu Yunjian, who was struggling in the hands of the man in black.
Yun Yici breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Wen Fuyue. She said to Di Zhao, "Senior Di Zhao, my master is here. Why don't you hand my senior brother over to my master?"
The subordinate in black, observing the situation and receiving permission from the emperor, respectfully handed the little rabbit to Wen Fuyue.
Once Mu Yunjian was in Wen Fuyue's hands, she stopped struggling, but couldn't help saying, "Master, he..."
Yun Yici quickly said, "Why don't we find a quiet place to talk?"
Not to mention that there's an incompetent city lord watching over this city lord's mansion, there are spies and informants everywhere, both inside and outside the mansion.
Yu Suqing and Lin Zhao couldn't wait to leave this place of trouble.
Lin Zhao suggested, "If you don't mind, our benefactors, please come and sit at my shop for a while."
Emperor Yuan was somewhat displeased with Yun Yici's neglect, but thinking that he had to please her first before she would agree to be his partner, he had no choice but to endure it.
The group then returned to Lin Zhao's shop in a grand procession.
The city lord originally wanted to arrange for a grand sedan chair carried by eight men to escort her, but Yun Yici, having been terrified of being tricked, quickly declined.
When they arrived at Lin Zhao's closed shop and opened the door, the cheerful birds immediately surrounded the imperial edict.
Lin Zhao, unaware of his origins, praised him, saying, "This fellow Daoist must be of pure and kind heart to have won the favor of the spirit birds."
Lin Zhao tamed the spirit bird that was about to pounce on the emperor's edict and led everyone to the quiet back hall.
Yu Suqing was still shaken, but she and Lin Zhao still helped prepare tea for the guests.
Yun Yici first introduced Wen Fuyue and the others: "This is Senior Di Zhao, and..."
The emperor decreed: "His name is unimportant; he is my servant."
The man in black had no objection whatsoever, standing aside like a mindless puppet, respectfully awaiting the emperor's decree.
Wen Fuyue carefully examined the man in black and asked, "You and this person..."
This man in black is clearly a living person. To use a living person as a servant, isn't that the work of an evil cultivator?
The emperor readily agreed, “We have signed a master-servant contract. I will be the master, and he will be the servant.”
Wen Fuyue's expression changed drastically, and she stood up, asking, "Who exactly are you?"
The emperor seemed to have anticipated this, and he said, "He did it voluntarily."
"He was captured by the demons and suffered endless torture. When he was about to die, he chose to sacrifice his soul to me."
"If you don't believe me, I can terminate the contract."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the man in black knelt down and kowtowed to him, begging the emperor not to abandon him.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
Seeing that he came from an extraordinary background and was well-informed, Wen Fuyue quickly realized the true identity of the imperial edict.
He asked with surprise and doubt, "You can sign a master-servant contract with someone by using your soul as the basis for your cultivation?"
"Could it be that you are...?"
The emperor decreed, "Yes, I am like your disciple. I have come here to take her away and to make her my partner."
Wen Fuyue:?
Rong Xuan: ? ?
Ning Tinglan: ? ? ?
Wen Fuyue was startled. He asked, "Which of my disciples are you referring to?"
Of his four disciples, only Mu Yunjian had any connection with the auspicious beast, the Imperial Decree.
His other three disciples were all human cultivators, and of them, only Mu Yunjian and Yun Yici had any dealings with the imperial edict.
But as for a partner, it's impossible for the emperor to fancy someone of the same gender as him.
That leaves Xiao Ci.
Yun Yici, now the center of attention, immediately revealed a pained expression; she genuinely sensed that Emperor Zhao's mind was somewhat unstable.
Although she was with Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba had been in the villain's Happy Ball, which, according to the system's explanation, meant she was in a "mimicry" state.
She's a perfectly normal person; she can't possibly be mistaken for a bird.
The Emperor decreed, “I sensed the presence of my kind in her, and she possesses extremely high talent among demons.”
"Although I do not know how she ended up in the human world, you no longer need to hide her identity. I have come here today to sincerely ask for her hand in marriage."
