I have the best bloodline

Hua Yan thought about it and agreed. It would be very easy for the two parties to disagree on managing the workshop together. Moreover, Su Yan was worried that after he left, he would lose actual control of the workshop. Therefore, it would be better not to just retain the power to make changes to various aspects of the workshop.

The workshop's accounts were thoroughly settled, as for the wages for recruiting temporary yamen runners and the kickbacks from the Red King.

The two sides only exchanged a few casual words, about things that couldn't be discussed openly, so they couldn't be too particular about them. In short, everyone was just trying to make some spirit stones.

Hua Yan didn't take any of the money; she just let Su Yan use it all as wages so she could have some fun.

Normally, the Crimson King rides on his head, but now he can eat his spirit stones. No matter how many he eats, he's definitely won this time, and the Crimson King has lost money.

"The little fox has grown up quite a bit; it knows how to fight for what it deserves!"

The fox mother, who had barely spoken throughout and hadn't even introduced herself, hugged Su Yan from behind with a beaming smile after leaving the Hua family, nuzzling him affectionately.

"Before coming here, I was thinking that you might lose the verbal battle, making those old men blush with embarrassment, and then, like before, you would turn back into your true form, crawl under my skirt, and whine and beg me to beat you back!"

"I never expected this from you."

"mom!"

Seeing Fox Mom reminiscing about her growth, but then bringing up her past embarrassing history, Su Yan's fair cheeks immediately turned red. She quickly pinched Fox Mom's cheeks and started pulling, trying to stop her from continuing to talk about her past.

"That happened so many years ago, don't even mention it! It was only once, how could you still remember it!"

At that time, Su Yan was only about a year old when Fox Mom and Dragon Dad took her on a picnic.

Su Yan was hopping around in the grass when he happened to encounter a cultivator flying on a sword. As soon as the man saw Su Yan, he immediately sensed the demonic aura on him. In order to prevent Su Yan from growing up and causing harm to the area, the man prepared to kill the little demon.

Su Yan sensed the malice and saw the escape light, so he ran and rolled towards the fox mother.

The bluestone was slippery, and Su Yan slid down to the fox mother's skirt and grabbed her thigh to stop herself.

Although their first meeting wasn't pleasant, after the fox mother and dragon father intervened, Su Yan spent a fairly pleasant time with the cultivator, who even taught him how to glide on the grass.

The cultivators lay on the grassy hills, and the fox mother placed Su Yan on their backs, letting them slide down.

If you get my son's fur dirty and don't clean it up and make him happy, you're going to get rid of him! Understand?

........................

Three days have passed.

In the void of the main city of Xia Yu, not far from Emperor Wusheng, a ripple-like pattern appeared in the space, and pieces of severed limbs poured out from the spatial gaps and fell to the ground.

Finally, a fair arm carrying a large glass jar reached out from the spatial gap and threw the jar, which imprisoned Dao Hua Zhenjun, onto the ground of the Jingxin Hall.

The owner of the fair arm did not appear. After throwing Dao Hua Zhenjun in front of Wu Sheng Di, he withdrew.

"."

The Daoist True Lord, sealed inside the jar, raised his head and met the eyes of the Unborn Emperor. Those eyes held no trace of life, only indifference.

It was as if she was saying that everything was meaningless to her, and nothing was important.

Upon seeing the Emperor of No Life, Dao Hua Zhenjun revealed an extremely forced smile:

"Junior Dao Hua Zhenjun greets Senior. May I ask what instructions Senior has given me in this special recruitment?"

Although he did not recognize Emperor Wusheng, the female cultivator dressed as an emperor in front of him was an existence he could not disobey. Dao Hua Zhenjun immediately slid down to his knees and respectfully asked Emperor Wusheng what she wanted to see him about.

Emperor Wusheng did not speak, but raised his hand and instructed the guards outside the Jingxin Hall to pick up Dao Hua Zhenjun's soul and send it directly to the Zhenmo Division for soul searching.

Eunuchs and palace maids followed. The eunuchs picked up the remains of Dao Hua Zhenjun, while the palace maids took out water and rags from their storage rings and cleaned up the bloodstains seeping from Dao Hua Zhenjun's remains on the ground.

Emperor Wusheng did not speak, nor did the imperial guards, eunuchs, and palace maids, yet they handled the situation with remarkable skill, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

After half an incense stick's time, the Tranquil Heart Hall returned to its former peace and tranquility.

Dao Hua Zhenjun's sixth sense was quite accurate; he was indeed not important to Wusheng Di.

Therefore, Emperor Wusheng did not say a word, but ordered his guards to take Dao Hua Zhenjun away for a soul search.

The speed and decisiveness of his actions left Dao Hua Zhenjun speechless, unable to utter a single word of probing or pleading.

Dao Hua Zhenjun was completely stunned, not even realizing what had happened.

The physical body he possessed wasn't very strong, so he had just sat down in the teahouse to rest and hadn't even had a sip of tea when a dizzying sensation struck him as a bright blue meteorite crashed directly into the teahouse where he was resting.

The moment Dao Hua Zhenjun uttered the words "Falling Star City," he was instantly torn to pieces by the cultivators of Falling Star City.

When he came to his senses, he appeared before Xia Yu and had someone throw him in front of Emperor Wusheng.

So what exactly happened? I've never had any dealings with Falling Star City before, so how were they able to find me through astrology? And who exactly is the woman dressed as an emperor in front of me?

Before being subjected to the soul search, Dao Hua Zhenjun was wondering which deity he had offended.

With the capture of Dao Hua Zhenjun, the wanted poster with his name on the golden list was also removed.

Sister Xi'er also leisurely returned from her trip and went to Princess Wuxi's residence:

"Little lazy fox, wake up! We're about to set off!"

"Don't go crazy in the middle of the night!"

Princess Wuxi had Xi'er lift her by the hind legs, glanced at the dark scenery outside the window, and then used her little fox paws to hold onto the bed sheet and kick her legs, telling Xi'er to stop making a fuss.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 273 In short, just don't find me a stepmother!

In the government office of Flower City, Red King's Territory.

"Finally found it! It was hidden here!"

As Su Yan reached an agreement with the indigenous clan, Hua Yan, the head of the Hua clan, spoke up for the government and helped recruit workers. The security pressure on the government was greatly reduced. The cultivators recruited by Hua Yan were originally responsible for patrolling Flower City and the mountains.

They didn't even need training. After arriving at the government office and receiving their yamen runner uniforms, they would go to work carrying knives.

After dealing with these important matters, Su Yan finally had time to handle another matter!

We need to find that Little Dragon Girl who's always radiating negativity and loves to make empty promises!

She came to Flower City with her elderly father, chasing after the mythical beast Bai Ze.

Su Yan returned to Flower City from Binhai City and searched around but couldn't find Xiaolongnu. Everyone thought she had already left Flower City, but Su Yan learned from Zhou You that Xiaolongnu hadn't left. Occasionally, he would see Xiaolongnu going out to eat late at night.

Unfortunately, Su Yan couldn't find Xiaolongnü's whereabouts, but he knew that Xiaolongnü was still staying at the Flower and Plant Bureau.

Are you playing optical camouflage here?

Located at the entrance to the cellar steps of the Flower Office, Su Yan looked up at the top of the entrance with a speechless expression.

The visibility in the cellar was already low, and after the cellar door was opened, the area above the pavilion became even darker under the light from the doorway. The Little Dragon Girl had stretched a black cloth over it and set up a concealment and tranquility formation to shroud herself in it.

The black cloth, like a hammock, hung across the door, blending into the dim light around it.

If it weren't for Little Dragon Girl's restless sleep and kicking her fair little feet outwards when she turned over, Su Yan wouldn't have noticed that a real dragon was hiding in his blind spot.

"Wake up, it's time to eat!"

Su Yan looked around, picked up a wooden rake used for raking rice, walked to the cellar entrance, grabbed the wooden rake, and used the handle to push it upwards.

"Well"

After Su Yan gave her a good thrashing, Xiaolongnu reluctantly opened her eyes in the black hammock. Her gaze was unfocused and somewhat dazed as she looked down at Su Yan and said:

"What happened? Why did you come to my bed and poke me with something so early in the morning?"

"Didn't you say you were going to teach me magic?" Su Yan took two steps back and looked at Xiaolongnu, who had just been woken up but hadn't fully recovered from her dazed state.

I've been looking for you for days.

"Oh"

Xiaolongnu responded to Su Yan, thought about it for a moment, and realized that there really was such a thing. She said, "Let's talk about it after I wake up."

After saying that, Xiaolongnu lay down on the hammock again and picked up a black pillow to cover her ears.

When will you wake up?

"We'll talk about it later tonight."

Dragons usually operate at night, reveling all night before returning home to rest. For Su Yan to wake up Little Dragon Girl so early in the morning was like dragging someone who hadn't slept for days out of bed. Apart from getting some vague "uh-huh" answers, it was impossible to get any meaningful information out of her.

"Okay, I'll come see you again tonight."

Su Yan glanced at Xiaolongnu, muttered "spider demon" to himself, and then closed the cellar door.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiaolongnu raised her hand and used her telekinetic power to pick up the wooden rake that Su Yan had just stabbed her with.

Tonight she's going to retaliate; those who disturb people's sleep deserve their retribution.

........................

After leaving the cellar, Su Yan returned to the courtyard of the government office. The mother fox was sleeping on a recliner, enjoying the sun with a relaxed and contented expression. The little foxes that Su Yan had adopted were squatting beside the recliner, guarding the mother fox with solemn expressions.

"Medicinal pills really shouldn't be taken indiscriminately."

The twenty or so little foxes were quite lucky. Back then, when the Flower and Flower Bureau was attacked by the Wedding Dress Puppet, all the elixirs stored inside were destroyed and fell into the muddy water, becoming filthy.

In the spirit of not wasting anything, Su Yan picked them all up and used them as snacks to feed the little fox.

As a result, one or two foxes became clever and, as if they had become spirits, learned how to please people.

Currently, among the officials, the fox mother has the strongest cultivation. These little foxes circle around the fox mother and even perform some simple talents for her, such as jumping in a circle.

Su Yan exclaimed that they had no morals.

"Little fox!"

Fox Mother sensed Su Yan's approach, moved the fan off her face, sat up, and looked at her eldest son with a smile, saying, "I'm going to visit your father later. Is there anything I can tell you?"

If the avatar is too far from the original body, the magical power within it will dissipate after it is exhausted.

The fox mother had played with the little fox for many days, and had already consumed two-tenths of her magical power. Therefore, before her external avatar dissipated, the fox mother planned to take a trip to the cosmos to visit the hardworking dragon father.

To ensure that Su Yan's side was safe, Fox Mom naturally had to go to the cosmos to visit Dragon Dad.

The child's father works so hard, isn't it all for the sake of reuniting the family as soon as possible? If the child's father knew that I ran away from the clan's territory just to take care of my son and not visit him, he would probably be unhappy, right?

The thought of Dragon Dad being short, arms crossed, and grumbling with a displeased expression made Fox Mom unable to help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Is there anything you need to tell me? I don't think so, right?"

Su Yan hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.

He originally wanted his father to work harder and be careful not to get caught by the dragons. He didn't want to have a bunch of stepmothers on his head for no reason, and a bunch of younger brothers and sisters crawling all over the place.
