I have the best bloodline

"Grandpa, stop joking, I'm serious! A while ago I went to the Moon Rabbit tribe's territory. After getting drunk one night, I saw a handsome fox traveling with me and couldn't resist ravaging him all night."

Princess Wuxi spoke as if it were the truth, telling her grandfather about her upcoming marriage.

"Wasn't this your doing first?" The Third Prince threw the teapot back onto the table, leaned back in his wide chair, rested his hands on the armrests, and looked at Princess Wuxi, saying:

"You're so naive, talking to me about married women. Even if something really happens, just pay me off. If you give that thief any leverage over you, I'll order someone to beat him to a pulp and never let him be reincarnated."

"Seriously, if you won't tell me, I'll order someone to bring back our fox-like colleagues and question them myself."

The Third Prince had seen all sorts of storms, though he hadn't seen his granddaughter in a long time.

But I can still tell some things. When you lie, please act normal. When you talk about those things with your elders, there is no shyness of a young lady on your face. Instead, there is a cunning smell. Why do I feel like your grandfather is getting old and blind?

He started talking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You or he may want to get something, but your deception skills are not up to par."

The Third Prince spoke, his gaze lingering on Princess Wuxi's face as he observed her expression, blood flow, and heart rate, trying to discern whether his granddaughter was trying to deceive him or was being filmed by a fox spirit to threaten her.

Many things can happen among those who travel together. The fox might have secretly used the recording crystal to record the princess bathing, or it might have secretly recorded some of her embarrassing moments.

This was something the Third Prince could only imagine; there were many other, far worse things, but he didn't intend to dwell on it further at the moment. Instead, he asked the Princess to speak.

"Okay! I admit I lied."

As the Third Prince stared at her and exposed her lie, Princess Wuxi's toes curled slightly inside her embroidered shoes, and a hint of embarrassment, which she could hardly hide, appeared on her cheeks.

Chapter 326 So sexy! (Third and fourth updates.)

"Okay, I admit I lied."

Faced with the Third Prince's exposure, Princess Wuxi, after a brief moment of embarrassment, quickly admitted to lying and swiftly launched into another explanation, saying:

"But it's not entirely false. Generally speaking, it's more like I admired his abilities and wanted to recruit him as one of my right-hand men."

"Then you can just bring them under your command," the Third Prince said, frowning.

The definition of private soldiers by Yu the Great was very vague. He did not specify how many soldiers a class could have, but a household, regardless of its social status, could not have more than two thousand private soldiers. The Yu the Great dynasty basically did not bother to manage this.

A king of a different surname can command 80,000 troops, and princes and princesses with titles also have the right to command troops. Someone like me can have 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers under my command without anyone saying anything.

So, if Princess Wuxi wanted to recruit a cultivator as her capable assistant, why would she lie and claim that she was going to marry the fox who was traveling with her?

The Third Prince looked at Princess Wuxi with a puzzled expression.

"His identity is rather special."

"Ok?"

"It's a hybrid nine-tailed fox."

"so what?"

The Third Prince had no interest in making wild guesses and told Princess Wuxi to speak directly. Most mixed-blood nine-tailed foxes were not highly regarded by other nine-tailed foxes, a fact the Third Prince, who was half-human and half-fox, knew all too well.

"It is the child of Ao Renlin and Su Qing. I plan to bring him under my command," said Princess Wuxi.

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince clicked his tongue, clapping his hands together as he had been resting on the armrest of his wide chair. He immediately understood why his granddaughter had been rambling on for so long, and said:

"Your idea is quite heretical! Su Qing and Ao Renlin's child is a huge pitfall. The Qingqiu Clan doesn't know about its existence yet, but if they did, they would definitely want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Their child is simply slapping the Qingqiu Clan in the face!"

If Princess Wuxi hadn't spoken up, the Third Prince wouldn't have known about Su Yan's existence.

Although he didn't know Su Yan, he was very clear about the Qingqiu clan's opinion on Ao Renlin and Su Qing's marriage.

In short: Fuck you! You dragons want to corrupt the bloodline of our nine-tailed foxes!

"That's why I wanted to talk to you, Grandpa, to see if I could mention it to my great-aunt," Princess Wuxi said, sounding slightly embarrassed.

"Impossible."

The Third Prince leaned back in his wide chair, pointed upwards with his finger, and shook his head, saying, "The being sitting on the throne of the Xia Yu Dynasty is not your great-aunt. Its full name is Wusheng Wunian Wubian Xukong (无生无念无边虚空).

"Simply put, he has no value. Even if you marry him and have children, what difference will it make? We in Xia Yu are not without divorces. At worst, you'll be widowed. Widows are much more sought after in the upper class of Xia Yu than those naive young girls."

The Third Prince shook his head, rejecting the foolish suggestion made by Princess Wuxi.

Now sitting on the throne, existing in a formless, thoughtless, and boundless void, is the existence created by the Empress to maintain the eternal glory of the Xia Dynasty. She judges the world with a gaze devoid of thought, desire, and emotion, and is not a heartless and emotionless being that can be easily persuaded with a few words.

The Xia Yu system has a vulnerability, and the existence of the form of non-birth and non-thought is to fill that vulnerability.

It has no emotions and does not know how to show favoritism. All the interests and redistribution of the Xia Yu Dynasty from bottom to top are handled by Emperor Wusheng alone. Rewards and punishments are clear and there is no situation where emotions lead to decisions.

Even royalty would simply kick out anything of no value. Consider the Xia Dynasty's royal family: they were all incredibly competitive. Even someone as carefree as Zhou You, who dreamed of wandering the world and writing a timeless masterpiece, couldn't obtain the slightest bit of real support from the Xia Dynasty's royal family.

Unless something happens that the formless, thoughtless, and boundless void cannot handle, the true Emperor of No Birth will not appear before the world.

When the Third Prince saw that heartless and emotionless thing pretending to be kind and happy with the people, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Just one look at it can give you nightmares for three days straight.

"Don't you have a solution either?" Princess Wuxi asked, frowning.

"The pursuit by the Qingqiu Clan was expected. I also know from Su Yan's words that some of the Su Clan elders are prepared to favor Su Yan. However, before that, Su Yan should be subjected to a castration punishment. He still has the ability to control water, so why not ask the North Sea Dragon Clan to mediate?"

"."

The Third Prince pondered without speaking, feeling troubled by the matter his granddaughter had suddenly thrown at him.

Of course, it's just a tricky situation, not that there's no way to solve it. However, it doesn't seem worth going to such lengths for a hybrid nine-tailed fox.

"How about I find you two mixed-breed nine-tailed foxes, or perhaps one purebred?"

After thinking for a while, the Third Prince offered Princess Wuxi two better options.

"I want this one!" Princess Wuxi slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily, "I don't want any of the others!"

The seemingly optimal choice offered by the Third Prince is completely meaningless to Princess Wuxi. Whether they are mixed-blood or pure-blooded nine-tailed foxes, they all obey the Third Prince and will not completely obey her. When she escapes from Xia Yu, those stinking foxes will probably be the first to stab her in the back!

"All right!"

Seeing the resolute expression on Princess Wuxi's face, the Third Prince knew that if the conversation continued, his granddaughter might really do something crazy if she got angry. Therefore, he did not continue to try to influence Wuxi with rational thinking.

"There is a way, but even I would have to pay a high price. High price, you should understand what I mean by high price, right? Stop beating around the bush. I can guess what you're thinking. You just want to follow in your great-aunt's footsteps and go out to make a name for yourself."

"But is it worth it for me to make this trip? Why?" The Third Prince sat up straight and looked at Princess Wuxi, his smile completely gone. He looked at her with a serious expression and asked Princess Wuxi if that fox was really worth the high price he had to pay to protect it.

Is it worth it? Will the investment yield returns?

"worth!"

Princess Wuxi spoke in a deep voice, "Now."

"okay!"

The Third Prince interrupted the Princess, shook his head, and said, "Since you say it's worth it, you must have already made your own judgment, so I believe you."

Since Princess Wuxi has made her judgment, it means that the granddaughter believes there must be something about that fox that is worth investing in. The Third Prince doesn't need Princess Wuxi to explain anything; he just needs her to answer whether Su Yan is worth his time.

Since Princess Wuxi says it's worth it, let's make the trip and look forward to his growth!

Let's see if this deal will be a loss!

After agreeing to his granddaughter's request, the Third Prince did not stay in the tea room any longer. He left Princess Wuxi with a message that he needed to wait a while while he went to give some instructions before turning and leaving the tea room.

"."

Seeing the Third Prince leave, a bead of cold sweat trickled down the forehead of Princess Wuxi, whose face had been solemn. Her solemn expression could no longer be maintained, replaced by a look of utter agony.

"What the hell am I saying?! How did I get so worked up and start arguing?!"

The princess originally planned to lie to her grandfather and ask her great-aunt to tell the nine-tailed foxes.

However, it is quite obvious that the Third Prince is also unable to persuade the current Emperor Wusheng. To resolve the grudges and entanglements behind Su Yan, the Third Prince, with his status and power, would need to pay a high price.

Moreover, it must be a very big move.

At present, Su Yan has not yet revealed his dual-wielding method, nor has he revealed the Empress Dowager's power within him. For Princess Wuxi, the most worthwhile investment in Su Yan is that he seems to have some money-making skills, knows how to socialize, and is relatively trustworthy as a fox and would not stab himself in the back.

The fact that she wouldn't stab herself in the back was extremely important to Princess Wuxi!

However, it is quite obvious that Su Yan's only advantages are not enough to warrant the Third Prince's great efforts. The Third Prince agreed to take action because of Princess Wuxi's judgment.

"The arrangements have been made; let's just be patient for a while longer!"

About half an hour later, the Third Prince, dressed in black casual clothes, returned from outside the tea room with a warm and charming smile on his face. He sat back down at the head of the tea table and began to brew tea, saying, "Grand Tutor Si visited here a couple of days ago and brought me some pre-Qingming tea. Let's have a taste today!"

"What's the situation over there? Will they take any action?" Princess Wuxi asked the Third Prince.

Nothing much happened.

The Third Prince shook his head and didn't mention those things. Instead, he began to instruct Princess Wuxi:

"Anyway, I've already made the arrangements. It'll take some time for things to build up, but you should be careful to keep your distance and stay away from that kid!"

"Ok?"

Princess Wuxi slowly typed a question mark, feeling strange about the Third Master's contradictions. He had clearly spent a lot of money to protect Su Yan and clear away the obstacles within the Nine-Tailed Fox, so why was he telling her to stay away from Su Yan, whom he had saved at such a high price?

Seeing the Princess Wuxi's puzzled expression, the Third Prince also showed a puzzled look on his face:

"Didn't your lady-in-waiting teach you that nine-tailed foxes can also exhibit signs of false pregnancy? Your grandfather doesn't want to spend a fortune of spirit stones only to end up giving away his own granddaughter!"

False pregnancy symptoms are exactly what they sound like; they refer to the physical signs of pregnancy when one is not pregnant.

Nine-tailed foxes, including many canines, will exhibit very obvious pseudopregnancy symptoms when stimulated under certain conditions, or when they receive affectionate massages from males during their estrus cycle.

Pregnancy may be faked, but the signs of pregnancy, including a growing belly, cannot be faked.

That's why the Third Prince complained earlier, implying that he had made a bad deal this time.

However, judging from Princess Wuxi's reaction, her granddaughter seemed unaware that nine-tailed foxes can also experience false pregnancies. The nine-tailed fox clan has suffered greatly because of this, often seeing newlywed nine-tailed foxes mistakenly believing they are continuing their bloodline.

But after a period of happiness, apart from being able to drink two cups of milk tea, nothing came of it. The couple were often bewildered. Even now, the nine-tailed fox only invites other relatives, friends, and allies to the feast after giving birth to her cubs.

"We... Nine-tailed foxes can do this?" Princess Wuxi looked at the Third Prince with a look of astonishment, a slight look of fear on her face. She quickly reached out and touched her abdomen to examine herself.

"Huh? What's with that? Could it be that my casual remark is actually true?"

Seeing Princess Wuxi's actions, the Third Prince's face also showed a look of horror.

"Sleeping in the same bed shouldn't be a problem, right?"
