Making Leidong totally drunk and falling off the Gantian Mountain’s peak made Zong Shou feel really satisfied.

The pressure that Gong Xinran brought to him was reduced.

Thinking to himself about what he needed to be afraid about, he would just take everything on the chin! Anyways, there would be close a year before this woman appeared…

During that period of time, he would just think of a suitable method.

——

Feeling a little drunk, Zong Shou strolled back into his sleeping quarters.

Xuanyuan Yiren was sitting on a chair, frowning and worrying about something.

Zong Shou found it weird, so he directly walked over to ask, “Do you think husband handled the Pill Fountain Sect matter wrongly?”

Xuanyuan Yiren at first didn’t respond, then her face flushed red, thinking to herself how shameless he was. It was obvious that the two of them weren’t married yet, but he called himself her husband already!

However, she was in no mood to correct him, and she even liked it a little, shaking her head, “Little Shou you are the Ruler of the country, you naturally have your decisions and you need to be able to answer to your subjects. Even if I am not happy, I know the rules and won’t interfere in politics.”

Zong Shou instantly understood that she was a little angry, but it wasn’t that bad. she frowned and said, “Just now master already told me the method to solve the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Technique. The idea he had was to get rid of it, reshape the foundations and rebalance the five elements. That was why these last few years he was in seclusion, making use of the formation to defend against those Shadow Demons.”

She then described the entire matter and situation. “Actually, my Pill Fountain Sect’s Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance method was lost six thousand years ago. That Xundan and Edan brought it back to the sect and said that they found it when they were searching a ruins. Our Pill Fountain Sect’s techniques were special, using the pill to seek the path. However, the few methods we had could only last to the God realm, we wouldn’t improve any more. This one was created by the ancestor during the Cloud Desolate Era and could reach the Saint realm. When master got it he saw it as a treasure only, he didn’t expect that after he cultivated it that there would be mistakes. He trusted the few junior brothers too much and wasn’t guarded against them. After checking it he realized the complete cultivation method didn’t have problems, but that those people were purposely using it as a trap…”

Zong Shou was fully focused as he listened to the Pill Fountain sect matters, even though he didn’t care that much. However it was related to Xuanyuan Yiren, so he had to pay attention to it.

“Master said that the amount of strength our Pill Fountain Sect lost this time was even more than Lingyun Sect. Forty percent of pill profits can’t be compared to the protection and support of Gantian Mountain. Apart from which, listening to what master meant, he wanted me to give up on my internal energy and soul ocean to choose another method to cultivate. Only he had Grade Nine cultivation and didn’t use the Mysterious Moon Brilliance Method as his foundation, which was why in just a short few years he regained his old strength. From the start I used it as the foundation to cultivate to such a level, to do so again wouldn’t be easy, which was why I have been finding it hard to decide…”

When she said those words, Zong Shou burst out into a laugh, “Restarting cultivation? Why does it need to be so problematic?”

He walked in front of Xuanyuan Yiren in a wobbly manner, touching her brests with a proper expression on his face, dotting the area beneath her nipples and then drawing around.

“You see, from here to here…”

Zong Shou pressed each acupoint on her abdomen.

At the start her face was red, thinking that there were still people here! Ruoshui was at the side.

Even if he wanted to be all lovey dovey with her, why didn’t he choose another spot?

Slowly she felt that wherever his fingers passed, a cool feeling rose up, her meridians felt extremely comfortable. She couldn’t help but moan, feeling that his fingers had a demonic power to draw out her soul.

Only when he got close to the bottom area did Zong Shou stop, he said in a low voice filled with doubts, “As they say, focusing on one nature alone, things won’t grow. The weakness of this Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance method can only be solved by this method. Wife, why not test it out with me? At this moment is really a great time…”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s eyes were blurred, wondering to herself what he meant.

A moment later Zong Shou picked her up, lowering his head to kiss her before she said anything, recalling that actually she wanted to dual cultivate with him.

She was really willing in her heart, but she instantly struggled and jumped out, like a rabbit bouncing away. Her face was slightly red as she said, “Don’t even think about it!”

She was afraid that Zong Shou would be sad, adding in another word, “Can’t you just wait a few days?”

After she said that she didn’t even dare to turn around her head, hurriedly running to her room and slamming her door shut.

Zong Shou laughed out loud, but in his heart he found it a waste. This righteous and kind girl was good at everything, only Xuanyuan Tong had taught her wrongly. She cared too much about tradition… today he was able to solve everything.

——

During this month, as long as most of the Donglin Sects and factions were wiped out, he would be able to ascend and establish the country. At that time, it would be perfect to marry her.

He had never loved complicated rituals. If he was going to establish the country he would keep things simple. However, he was totally willing to give Xuanyuan Yiren a majestic and big wedding.

Oh! Wedding, isn’t that a good reason to increase taxes? The Ruler getting married, shouldn’t the people give him a present?

——–

The triumphant return ceremony the next day left the entire Gantian Mountain City abuzz. People were cheering on both sides of the street.

Twenty thousand elite cavalry all raised up their chest, filled with pride. They rode on their tall horses, guarding a bunch of carriages as they headed into the city.

Zong Shu had a frozen smile on his face, like that of a statue as he sat in the slowly moving jade chariot.

Luckily the area around him was covered in a thin veil. People outside couldn’t see his face behind it.

Xuanyuan Yiren and Xuan Yunlan beside him knew the reason, they covered their mouths and giggled secretly.

Zhao Yanran naturally couldn’t keep it in and wanted to gloat and pour salt into his wounds. She mocked coldly, “You were asking for it, giving the power to others. To raise taxes now would obviously not be easy…”

Just half a day ago Zong Shou gathered the cabinet, wanting to use the marriage matter and coronation to increase taxes.

In the end the officials of the cabinets all didn’t hesitate to refute him. The meeting hall also turned on its head, all of them opposed.

It made Zong Shou feel really depressed, so furious that he grit his teeth. He thought that after the victory his prestige would be sky high and able to convince everyone.

In the end, the hundreds of people in the meeting hall whom he had selected were all opposed.

At this moment Kong Yao was slightly distracted as she looked outside of the veil.

She could clearly see the red eyes of the Gantian Mountain people. They all cheered out from the depths of their hearts, their eyes were filled with respect and awe.

She was stunned. What did this Zong Shou do to make his people love him and treat him so well?

When she heard that, she turned around and looked on coldly, ready to see how Zong Shou was going to deal with this matter.

The officials holding the Ruler hostage, it was obvious that these few officials held too much power, their large tails obstructing action.

Even if what they said was correct, they didn’t hold the power of the king.

If it was His Majesty he would use the prestige from that huge victory to clear out the officials in the court. Even if he didn’t, he would wake them up and change a few cabinet members.

Actually, she found it really weird that Zong Shou would give the power of the royal family to others.

Zong Shou’s generation was still okay, his prestige was great, and naturally the people would respect him.

But if his descendants were useless, wouldn’t the cabinet take over completely?

Zong Shou clenched a fist and grit his teeth like he wanted to rip off the skin and tendons of Renbo and all those people participating in the meetings.

Moments later, he turned expressionless once more, “My words are worth its weight in gold. Since the laws I made gave them power, then naturally I won’t break the rules! Forget it, however, this Renbo is really annoying…”

Oh?

Kong Yao was slightly startled as she looked over. She shook her head. As a Ruler, naturally reputation and credit was important. However, sometimes one must be willing to adapt.

In such a situation, one had to be more decisive!

Zong Shou taking a step back now was him dropping a little more power. This cabinet and meeting hall would only become more bold and arrogant, not bothering about the orders of the Ruler.

She suddenly understood something, like Zong Shou’s luck at this moment had changed a little.

It shocked her, but she hesitated and didn’t dare to take a look. First was because her soul injuries hadn’t fully healed, using that secret technique used up too much strength. Second, she was worried that she couldn’t take another blow..

Zhao Yanran laughed coldly, “If it was me, anyone that isn’t happy, I would stab them with a sword! Then who will dare not to agree? You are such a sentimental person, you are not straightforward enough!”

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t speak. Xuanyuan Yiren smiled happily, “That’s good, if the taxes were raised just because of our marriage, I would feel uneasy.”

Zong Shou laughed out, already thinking. Since this method didn’t work, then how would search for new financial sources.

A loud shout spread in from outside the jade chariot.

“Great! A man should do that! Protecting the people of a land, respected by all! Only such a Ruler is good enough to lead millions, worth you and I working for him!”

Zong Shou looked out curiously, only to see a burly man standing on a roof looking over. Beside him was a really scholarly teen, eyes focused on the jade chariot. His eyes were deep in thought.

The two of them had different auras, even among the tens of thousands of people, they were like peacocks standing out among chickens.

However, there were too many weird people in this world, Zong Shou took a look and found that they were familiar, but he couldn’t recall anything. He only knew that he hadn’t met them before and thus didn’t care much.

On the side of Kong Yao, her brows furrowed. She felt that there was someone from the same school as her looking at Zong Shou’s energy…

She opened up her spirit eye, and was startled.

Was this the Dragon Supporting Fate Divination? Should I remind him?

Forget it, she hated him to the bone and was too lazy to inform him…
