I have the best bloodline

Princess Wuxi led Su Yan around the crowd and directly into the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion through the VIP passage.

Although the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion is named after a pavilion, its area is not like that of a pavilion at all. It is located in the middle of the Imperial City Avenue, and its land area is measured in acres. The entire Treasure Appraisal Pavilion spans the Imperial City Avenue, and a wooden bridge connects the two buildings on the second floor.

Princess Wuxi didn't even glance at the first floor before leading Su Yan straight to the third floor. Even the owner of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion personally came out to greet Princess Wuxi.

"Welcome, Princess Wuxi! I, Huang, have failed to greet you properly, and this is a grave offense!"

Manager Huang, who manages the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion in Xia Yu's main city, scurried up with a fawning expression. Before he could say anything, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Princess Wuxi.

This princess was not only of noble status, but also incredibly generous.

If the princess could come to patronize the business every day, Manager Huang would really kowtow to the princess every time he saw her.

"Guards, bring out genuine leather chairs! How could a noblewoman like the Princess possibly step on our broken floor! And bring out all the treasures from the secret vault! Have the servants carry them! You who haven't eaten, get out of the way!"

"Princess Wuxi, please take a look. These treasures were collected by our Treasure Appraisal Pavilion. Some of them are even prepared for auction, but as a VIP customer of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, you may choose some first."

Manager Huang waved vigorously, directing the two Nascent Soul stage attendants of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion to use their power of artifact manipulation to control six treasure cabinets, each four meters long and about two and a half meters high, covered with a layer of glass, and gently place them in front of the princess.

Each compartment inside the cabinet has something like a brief description, but those descriptions are probably only for internal staff of the appraisal pavilion, and they simply indicate the name and serial number of the item.

After placing the actual items in front of Princess Wuxi, Manager Huang happily took out a catalog and let the princess choose her favorite items from the catalog. Then he took out the actual items from the treasure cabinet for Princess Wuxi to see.

Aside from the manager of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion personally entertaining her, the maids were busy preparing tea and refreshments. They set up a living room right next to Princess Wuxi, providing her with a large single sofa made of black beast hide for her alone.

The leather seats aren't worth much. The reason the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion arranged the seats this way is to make Princess Wuxi feel that she is valued by the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion and that no one else can be compared to her. Not to mention the shopkeeper, even the Nascent Soul stage commander of the Demon Suppression Division will be punished by standing in the corner!

"See what you like!"

Princess Wuxi casually flipped through the illustrated guide, glanced at the items inside, then pulled Su Yan, who was standing next to her, to sit on the left armrest. She then slapped the guide onto his lap: "Forget about weapons, I've already found you a hairpin sword. Find some suitable robes, cultivation techniques, and pills. If you don't like them, you can just ask the shopkeeper to send over a different batch!"

Princess Wuxi leaned back in her chair, her hands resting on the armrests, seemingly relaxing, yet exuding a sacred and solemn aura that commanded respect without anger, completely different from her carefree and playful demeanor in private.

The main hall on the third floor of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion also quieted down. When Manager Huang saw Princess Wuxi's actions, a slight look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not show it.

According to high-ranking officials in the court, Princess Wuxi was so self-centered that she could not tolerate being disobeyed. All her friends were either rich or noble. Moreover, most importantly, apart from her personal guards, there was never any news of Princess Wuxi traveling with any men.

Could this handsome young man before me be the perfect match the princess has found when she was in love?

Well, this young master is truly an exceptional individual. He managed to win over even the notoriously difficult Princess Wuxi. He could easily win over a Casanova like Xia Yu.

"Do we really want to choose?"

Looking at the prices, Su Yan was a little embarrassed to ask the princess. After flipping through the entire encyclopedia, he found that the cheapest herbs cost more than 3,000 catties of spirit stones, and the most expensive item was a large immortal ship called "Patrol".

It is equipped with a large number of formations and magical artifacts, and it is clearly marked that it can kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. If a Deity Transformation stage cultivator does not dodge and takes the hit head-on, he will also be seriously injured and fall.

Therefore, this ship, priced at 860,000 catties of spirit stones, will cost nearly 1 million catties of spirit stones when it lands, including other expenses.

There are no cheap items in this guidebook.

“Don’t like it? Just ask the manager to change it. There are plenty of treasures in the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion. Manager Huang hasn’t even brought out the really good stuff yet.” Princess Wuxi was very familiar with the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion. She was too lazy to go through the process of retrieving items from the national treasury, so she would come here to buy a new set.

Manager Huang looked embarrassed: "Princess, these are treasures besides the store's prized possessions. I've even given you the items that are going to be put up for auction. If we're going to upgrade the quality further, that's not up to me."

Like the Myriad Flowers Pavilion, the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion is a super-giant merchant guild that spans the entire cultivation world.

Those treasures that are the centerpieces of the cultivation world's tour exhibition are not something that Manager Huang can sell at will. Without the permission of higher-ups or the owner, the regional management has no right to make any decisions regarding the treasures used for the tour exhibition.

"Wrap them all up and send them to Ruchun Garden." Princess Wuxi, seeing that the shopkeeper had said so, looked at Su Yan who had not yet made a choice, raised her finger and pointed to several cabinets, instructing the manager to wrap them all up and send them to Su Yan's house.

"Okay!"

Shopkeeper Huang happily agreed and began packing the treasures himself.

They all had that same expression.

After Princess Wuxi finished shopping, she pulled the stunned Su Yan onto the terrace, raised her hand to stop the imperial guards and the commander of the Demon Suppression Division from approaching, and sighed:

"They wear masks of meekness, and I must wear a mask of royal majesty. It's so fake that it feels unreal. No matter how extravagant I am, I can't get a sense of reality."

Princess Wuxi had no valuables on her. When she made a purchase, all she needed was an official seal. The merchant would then take the stamped document to the Ministry of Revenue to settle the bill.

The gifts given to Su Yan were all less than ten million, while Princess Wuxi's highest expenditure was three hundred million catties of spirit stones in half a day.

However, it was as if the money had vanished without a trace. No one blamed Princess Wuxi for her extravagance. The Vice Minister of Revenue simply asked the princess, as was customary, whether she had made this expense. After confirming its existence, he directly settled the bill for the gambling house.

"Aside from childhood, when I could still enjoy some familial love, I haven't felt anything substantial since."

Princess Wuxi seemed to be speaking to Su Yan, yet also seemed to be helplessly mocking her own affectation. At the same time, her childlike figure was also changing. She started growing rapidly from a 1.5-meter-tall toddler, growing from half a head shorter than Su Yan to two heads taller than him. When she was barefoot, Princess Wuxi's true height was already close to 1.9 meters.

Her breasts stretched her originally luxurious long dress to the point of almost bursting. The adult version of Princess Wuxi looked somewhat similar to Sister Xi'er. Her four snow-white tails peeked out from the balcony railing and swayed gracefully in the wind.

Princess Wuxi, leaning against the railing, smiled and placed her hand on Su Yan's head:

“I really want to leave here. It’s not that I can’t leave the royal family, but I owe Xia Yu a debt of gratitude for raising me, so I naturally need to bear the corresponding responsibility.”

"Little fox, can you help me? It doesn't mean we have to escape right now; we'll wait for the right time."

Wu Xi likes the body shape of a child, not because she actually likes the body shape of a child, but simply because she is nostalgic for the past.

Wuxi felt that he had grown up and could step out of that aimless and unreal life to truly participate in the affairs of the Xia Dynasty.

However, the court did not need her. Instead, the arrival of Princess Wuxi caused a split among the officials, who wanted to support the princess, who was of legitimate royal blood, to ascend to the regency position now controlled by the Grand Tutor and gain merit for supporting the emperor.

Empress Wusheng did not manage state affairs every day. She did not attend court often unless there was something important to discuss. The Grand Tutor helped her with most of the trivial matters.

Rebellions are extremely rare in the cultivation world. Emperor Wusheng was able to sit in that position not because of the support of his officials.

On the contrary, the officials depended on Emperor Wusheng for survival, and the Xia Dynasty without Emperor Wusheng would fall out of the ranks of top powers.

Princess Wuxi is capable of vying for the position of regent.

"I'm very sorry, Princess. My troubles are probably far more complicated than you think, and I'll only be a burden to you in this matter," Su Yan said with a sigh.

If he were to truly ally with the princess and escape, it would be fine if the Su family found him; otherwise, he would have to grit his teeth and endure the unbearable pain of a male beast: die.

However, if the Black Dragon Clan were to come looking for him, Su Yan would be harming himself and others, and even causing the princess to have several children.

Xia Linghuan

Princess Wuxi sighed when Su Yan finally relented and revealed the reasons for her repeated rejections. As her body shrank back, she spoke her real name, and the next second, her figure transformed back into a child about 1.5 meters tall.

"How is it? Aren't my breasts absolutely stunning?"

Last night I planned to stay up all night to finish writing 10,000 words and update at midnight, but most of them became scrap, so I had to rewrite them this morning.

By the afternoon, I couldn't stay awake any longer and felt very dizzy, so I took a short nap to recover my energy before updating again.

Wu Geng is absolutely not bragging.

Chapter 104 The Big Cat (Fifth update, please subscribe!)

"See you at the Lantern Festival! I have to go back and take care of that dead rabbit."

Upon seeing her aunt and her entourage, who had arrived late, Princess Wuxi, seemingly in a good mood, patted Su Yan's bottom with a smile and then said goodbye:

"I'll take you to a fun place then."

After saying this, Princess Wuxi did not linger there and chose to return to her residence.

Although there was still no harvest today, the princess's gloom eased a little.

"My little nephew!"

From a distance on the street, Hua Yu, who hadn't appeared for a long time, smiled and raised her hand to greet Su Yan, who was standing in front of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion:

"Aunt Huayu, while I was recovering from my injuries, did the little fox miss me?"

Since the point-to-point teleportation array failed to be established last time, Hua Yu has not been to the brothel for some time, during which time she has been recuperating from her injuries.

The ability to create an external avatar is a skill of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. When an external avatar is created, the caster needs to use part of their spiritual vision and essence blood to create the avatar. If the external avatar is damaged, the original body will also suffer serious injuries.

Ever since Sister Xi'er erased her avatar, Hua Yu's injuries had actually been severe and had not healed. She had only managed to suppress the injuries by relying on her cultivation. Later, she could no longer suppress them and had to choose to go into seclusion to recuperate. Otherwise, Hua Yu would definitely have come to Su Suyan every day to ask him about her aunt's information.

"Come on, give Aunt Huayu a kiss."

Hua Yu didn't care about her aunt and the others at all. She immediately gave Su Yan a bear hug and then looked at Su Yan's tender face with a grin, saying, "It's been so long. Where would my little nephew like to put his lipstick mark?"

"No older women."

Su Yan ran back to her aunt's side with a smug look on her face, took her aunt's hand and said:

"Auntie, we might be in big trouble!"

My aunt's face showed a subtle expression as she said, "What big trouble have you gotten yourself into? You can't possibly become the consort of Princess Wuxi just because I'm gone for a little while, can you?"

Su Yan looked embarrassed and said, "Although we don't have any, we might not be able to afford a gift in return!"

Not long after Su Yan finished speaking, Manager Huang of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion pushed a cart full of exquisitely wrapped gift boxes piled up like a mountain, with the auction item catalog that Su Yan had previously looked through on top of it.

Shopkeeper Huang was taken aback when he saw Hua Yu and his aunt, and looked at Su Yan, saying, "What's going on here?"

"So what if he's my nephew? You greedy businessman!" Auntie snorted coldly when she saw Manager Huang.

"Fellow Daoist Insect really holds grudges." Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile, "You can't blame me for being greedy. At that time, medicinal herbs were scarce due to the weather, and those alchemists were charging exorbitant fees. Naturally, the pills were expensive. If you think they're expensive, I think they're tying up my funds!"

"Let's not dwell on those old stories. I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Chong on the birth of such a fine young man in your family. The position of future imperial son-in-law is within your grasp! The princess's generosity in spending so much money on this young master is truly impressive."

"Princess Wuxi asked me to choose a gift, but when I saw that the items in the catalog were too expensive, I didn't really want to accept them. So Princess Wuxi bought them all and threw them at me."

Receiving gifts is easy, but you have to reciprocate. Otherwise, a gift shouldn't be called a gift, but rather a trade in goods.

Returning a gift is a gesture of goodwill.

Su Yan didn't want any of the items in the auction catalog at the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, so he directly refused Princess Wuxi's gift.

The princess thought Su Yan was too embarrassed to accept the money, so she didn't say anything and simply copied a book, then had Manager Huang pack them all up and send them to Su Yan's house.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands"

Looking at the bill handed over by Manager Huang, Auntie was speechless and exclaimed:

"13.67 million catties of spirit stones, could there be some kind of elixir of immortality in this?"

"Small amounts can be expensive when added together; the total cost of hundreds of treasures naturally seems high." Seeing that his aunt seemed to want a refund, Manager Huang called out and pushed the cart directly towards Ruchun Garden.

"This probably isn't a wedding gift!"
