They'd give him a couple of polite words and send him away like a beggar, but if they didn't give him any face, they'd just kill him without hesitation.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Ghost Xi'er held most of the royal family in contempt, bluntly stating that they were all incompetent and using the name of Jiuyou to glorify themselves. Jiuyou was not a babysitter for the royal family.

If you see someone who can help, then help them; if you can't, then forget about it.

Although Su Yan admired Emperor Wusheng, his admiration stemmed from envy of Emperor Wusheng's strength.

"what?"

Jiao Nanwu listened to Su Yan and her aunt exchanging cryptic remarks, and a question mark appeared in her mind.

Why is His Majesty the Emperor of No Life paying attention to Su Yan? Jiao Nanwu was full of questions about this.

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

Although Jiao Nanwu was full of questions, neither Su Yan nor her aunt would explain them to her in detail.

As the second day approached, Hua Yu arrived early at Ru Chun Yuan and knocked on Su Yan's bedroom door, asking Su Yan to knock on his aunt's cultivation room door.

As soon as Su Yan got up and opened the door, the communication jade in his storage ring received a communication message.

"Little nephew, hurry up and call your aunt to have breakfast. You'll be going up to the arena to draw lots later!"

Hua Yu picked up Su Yan, who looked like a fox, and walked towards the top floor of the walled building. Su Yan took a moment to glance at the communication jade.

Yes, it's a message from Queen Bee Qinyuan. Mei'er said she came to Xia Yu by riding on the roots of the divine tree and asked where Su Yan was and if he wanted fresh royal jelly.

Royal jelly is extremely nutritious, and regular consumption can improve physical health, but its taste is...unpleasant.

Su Yan had tasted both the fresh and canned royal jelly, and they were all sour. He had only drunk a few ounces of the dozens of kilograms of royal jelly he had brought back from the Western Mountains.

"Alright, Hua Yu!"

The aunt slowly walked out of the cultivation room. Inside, the dog was still nestled there, wagging its tail contentedly, showing no intention of going to work or going out.

My aunt said with a smug look on her face, "I don't need your predictions this year, I have a new treasure!"

After the Xia Yu ancestral worship ceremony, there will be a seven-day imperial martial arts competition to determine the ten winners. During the Lantern Festival, Emperor Wusheng will personally appear to award prizes to the winners of the imperial martial arts competition.

In previous years, when Su Yan wasn't around, my aunt would have to go to great lengths to gather information about the contestants when she went to participate in the Imperial Martial Arts Competition. In the end, she always had to rely on the Wan Hua Pavilion's intelligence network to obtain some secret information.

Let my aunt earn some hard-earned money at various gambling dens.

But this year, with the secret method of the fox spirit guiding the way, Auntie felt that she no longer needed to find out any information. She could just have Su Yan point with his finger and that would guarantee a great victory!

"Let's go!"

The aunt snatched the little fox from Hua Yu's arms, held it high in front of her, and rubbed it against her with a happy expression. Su Qing really gave birth to a good son! He's especially good at bringing wealth!

"What a woman who uses and then discards." Hua Yu said speechlessly, watching her aunt who had already slipped away.

"Senior Hua Yu, how do we get up there?"

Jiao Nanwu was slightly taken aback when she saw her aunt run away, and then she remembered that she didn't know how to get to the floating city.

"If it's nearby, go to Luohe Residence; if it's further away, you can go up through the roots outside the city."

Hua Yu shook her head helplessly and said, "So, are any of you going to the Imperial City? Let's all go together. I'm in a hurry to find your manager to have some fun."

"We're all going!"

The talented women said in unison.

They all knew that Su Yan would participate in the Imperial Martial Arts Competition through the Black Iron Token. Although not everyone liked activities in the Imperial City, today was the day the little fox was participating in the competition, so of course they had to go and cheer her on!

Chapter 110 The Xia Dynasty Royal Family

"Is this big tree a living organism?"

Xia Yu belongs to the no-fly zone, and only a few people can fly in the air. Auntie brought Su Yan to the pavilions and towers on the roof of Luohe Residence. She raised her hand and touched a tree branch. The next second, the world spun and the two of them appeared directly inside the floating city.

Su Yan and her aunt landed in the platform-like city. The city was empty, but as the officials of the Ministry of Rites took out their pens and drew lines on the ground, the giant trees grew some uneven steps according to the lines, which directly connected to the altar that had already been set up.

The palace maids would lay a red carpet with white embroidery on it when the steps were created.

The aunt seemed to be used to this and didn't pay much attention to the busy officials. Like the other cultivators who came to participate in the Xia Yu Ancestral Ceremony, she casually found an area that the Ministry of Rites officials were marking and walked over. A very large seat was directly generated on the tree platform.

Sitting on her aunt's lap, Su Yan could even jump onto a chair that resembled a daybed and run around.

"The seats in the Imperial City are not fixed. As long as you walk into the designated area for cultivators, it will arrange seats for us according to your cultivation level and the number of people." Auntie looked at Su Yan with a sly smile, raised her hand and waved it. A vine-covered backrest grew from the long bench that resembled a daybed, gently supporting Auntie's waist. A low table appeared faintly in the middle of the daybed, with small wooden dishes on it.

Vines with flower buds grew from the bottom of the daybed to the low table and bloomed, spewing out fresh tree fruits and fresh nuts that had not been dried. A steaming teapot landed steadily in the spot where my aunt could easily reach.

After doing all this, the vines with flower buds closed the buds again and retreated back to the bottom of the Luohan bed.

Su Yan was greatly surprised to see this, and she also raised her hand and waved, just like her aunt.

The vines at the bottom of the bench poked their heads out again, but instead of spitting anything out of the flower buds, they circled around Su Yan, looked him up and down, and then slapped the flower buds directly onto Su Yan's head, raising their heads and retracting them.

"Hahaha"

Auntie looked at Su Yan, who had been slapped on the head, and laughed so hard she almost fell over. She said, "Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above can use the facilities of the Imperial City at will, but cultivators whose cultivation level does not meet the standard will have to pay money if they want to order extra food."

Su Yan had put all his spirit stones in his storage ring. The flower bud circled around Su Yan, asking him for some spirit stones, but Su Yan didn't respond to the flower bud's request for a long time. When the time was up, the flower bud naturally stopped paying attention to Su Yan and shrank back to wait.

Originally, the flower buds wouldn't hit people, but as more and more cultivators started to act recklessly, the vines developed a self-protection mechanism. If they didn't get the reward money, they would angrily slap the cultivator and then go back with a resentful look on their faces.

Having learned the mechanism of the flower buds and vines, Su Yan was immediately enraged and stood up, holding a spirit stone weighing about half a pound high in his hand: "Hey! I'm very angry!"

The flower bud snatched the spirit stone away, and then a large number of vines emerged from under the seat, lifting the fox up. Wriggling tree knots grew on the vines and began to massage it, while tea and snacks were fed directly into Su Yan's mouth.

They treated Su Yan like a baby.

"A region obsessed with money!"

Su Yan rolled her eyes and said, "A tree that grows from soil that's obsessed with money will still be obsessed with money."

………………

Su Yan was still testing the vine's integrity and discovered that as long as the spirit stones were available, the flower bud vine really had no morals to speak of, and could even dance for him.

While Su Yan was having a great time, the Ministry of Rites had already completed all the planning.

As the time for the ancestral worship ceremony gradually approached, cultivators from all over Xia Yu and cultivators from various sects who came from other places to participate in the ceremony had all arrived.

As it turned out, just as my aunt had said, the stronger a cultivator's cultivation level, the bigger the chair they sat on.

Body Refinement cultivators can only sit on small stools, Qi Refinement cultivators can sit on proper benches, and only Foundation Establishment cultivators are entitled to sit on a chair with a backrest.

The areas where the sects and factions were seated not only had large chairs, but were also surrounded by vine-covered cordon lines and wooden soldiers guarding the area.

Each one was more outrageous than the last; cultivators who didn't want to sit cramped on small stools had to pay to upgrade their seats.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Three deafening drumbeats rang out in succession, instantly silencing the chaotic noise within the imperial city. Those who continued to make noise were silenced by flower buds and vines.

"Welcome, Your Majesty the Emperor of No Life."

A flamboyant man dressed in a deep crimson official robe flew out of the imperial city through the high-altitude gate, loudly announcing the arrival of the Emperor Wusheng, before stepping aside to await orders.

Su Yan looked in the direction of the city gate, and the floor lamps that were originally placed on both sides of the red carpet gradually lit up. Inside, one could vaguely see the wailing souls. A cold and evil aura spread outward from the lamps, and a tall and beautiful figure exuding coldness appeared at the gate of the imperial city.

She wore dark clothes underneath and a red robe embroidered with gold and jade on top. She walked slowly up the carpeted steps toward the altar.

The Emperor of No Life has arrived.

When Su Yan tried to look at the face of the Emperor Wusheng, he was shocked to find that he could not see the Emperor Wusheng's face directly from any angle.

Seeing Su Yan's actions, her aunt slowly said, "Her Majesty is a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Even after concealing her divine abilities, she still has an immeasurable and terrifying influence on the surrounding creatures. No one can look directly at her face without Her Majesty's permission."

Although the You Su clan does not possess the same innate supernatural power to bewitch minds as the Tu Shan clan, the fact that the You Su fox clan is considered the most alluring is not based on false advertising.

If the cultivators present look directly at Emperor Wusheng, then there is no need to hold any ancestral worship ceremony.

A chaotic, irrational brawl erupted on the scene.

After Emperor Wusheng stepped onto the steps, the figures of three people in the second row, dressed in crimson official robes, gradually approached.

The Three Masters of Xia Yu were three living first-rank officials.

The power of a first-rank official is second only to that of the Emperor Wusheng, and their influence even far surpasses that of the imperial relatives. It is precisely because their power is so great that only the deceased can be posthumously granted the title of first-rank official, but the three teachers of Xia Yu are extremely special exceptions.

The three masters followed closely behind Emperor Wusheng, and eight kings of different surnames, including royal heirs, entered the arena.

But from a perspective unseen by others, Su Yan could see familiar figures. Behind them, snow-white nine-tailed foxes swayed slightly, and their faces were hidden behind white cloths with red lettering.

Instead of following the main group, they walked together from the side of the gate. Among them, a figure with the character "囍" (double happiness) written on a white cloth smiled and waved to Su Yan.

Xi'er's sudden action drew the attention of the other Nine Netherworld beings, who all looked in Su Yan's direction.

Sister Xi'er turned to the side as if she was saying something, but the distance was too far for Su Yan to hear.

The kings of different surnames and their heirs ascended the steps, followed closely by a middle-aged man in a red robe, leading a large procession of members of the royal family.

They were also members of the Xia Yu clan. After Xia Yu established the kingdom, the clan members evolved into the current members of the Xia Yu royal family.

They are not descendants of the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen. They are powerful and promising members of the royal family who have been granted the title of heir apparent, fiefdoms, or participation in court affairs.

However, a very strange phenomenon appeared in the royal procession. The people in the procession were wearing sacrificial robes, but some royal members wore masks on their faces, completely covering their appearance. Some were even covered from head to toe in a thick, airtight veil.

To prevent others from seeing his face and figure.
