I have the best bloodline

Little did he expect that he would almost have drawn the image of Emperor Wusheng and recorded it in a book.

Upon thinking of this, Zhou You shuddered. His face, which was already flushed from the alcohol, turned deathly pale, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Brother Su, is your information reliable?"

The Wusheng Emperor that Xia Yu's subjects usually saw was a cold, ruthless, and dignified emperor with a difficult way of speaking. Apart from Xia Yu's three teachers and the kings of different surnames, even the royal family was afraid to see the living Wusheng Emperor. She was too cold, so cold and piercing that she was like an emotionless object.

The Emperor of No Life will not show any mercy; he will only reward or punish based on the right or wrong of the final outcome.

It's like losing humanity and having no emotions.

Although Zhou You was a member of the royal family, he was genuinely afraid of Emperor Wusheng.

"Zhou You! He resembles you!"

When Su Yan saw Zhou You peek out silently, an angry expression immediately appeared on her face. She jumped from her aunt's arms onto the long table, stood up, and pointed at Zhou You, who had deceived her feelings: "You little devil!"

"Brother Su, we can talk about that later. Is the information from earlier reliable?"

Zhou You looked anxious and, disregarding the Earth Immortal level seniors present, raised his voice two notches to ask Su Yan.

"Of course it's genuine! Why would I lie to you?" Su Yan was taken aback when he saw Zhou You's tearful expression, not quite understanding why Zhou You had such an expression.

"Row!"

After receiving Su Yan's reaffirmation, Zhou You took out a booklet from his storage ring without saying a word and ate it all in a few bites right in front of everyone.

The booklet contained information about Jiuyou, as well as Zhou You's recent visits to the streets and alleys to see the common people who claimed to have seen Jiuyou's appearance. From their accounts, he gradually sketched out Jiuyou's general form.

Now that Su Yan has provided a guaranteed piece of information, Zhou You naturally cannot keep this booklet.

They were afraid that the contents and illustrations inside would be leaked.

"cough cough"

After Zhou You finished swallowing the booklet, the feeling of something stuck in his throat made him cough. He quickly picked up the wine on the table and took a big gulp before he could calm down. He said, "Cough cough. What were you trying to say just now, Brother Su? Please continue."

"."

Su Yan looked at Zhou You with a dark expression and said, "I originally wanted to scold you for deceiving my feelings, but you interrupted me and I forgot my lines. I'll scold you next time!"

Zhou You looked embarrassed and said, "Actually, I'm not lying. My daily life is only slightly better than that of a beggar on the street. The royal family only pulls me in to make up the numbers when they're short-handed."

There are age restrictions for the Imperial Martial Arts Competition, and the royal family currently has few suitable participants.

They had no choice but to find those white-veiled women and spend a lot of money to hire them to show their faces, to demonstrate the face of the Xia Yu royal family and their invincible demeanor.

People like Zhou You, who are semi-detached from the royal family, have no special privileges and have to find ways to make ends meet even when it comes to living expenses. This time, the royal family gave them far too many spirit stones, so Zhou You could only grit her teeth and go to the imperial martial arts competition.

The inside of that money pouch was even shinier than Su Yan's fur.

"It's only because of poverty that they pay attention to those long-winded old men."

After leaving the main hall with Zhou You, they sat in the back courtyard of the brothel where no elders were peeking. Zhou You spoke freely about her arduous life in the royal family and her reasons for participating in the imperial martial arts competition.

"If they give me even a pound less spirit stones, I won't even give them a second glance!"

While royalty may seem to enjoy boundless glory, Zhou You's real life began at the age of six. He would start cultivating before dawn, eat two steamed buns and pickled vegetables to fill his stomach at noon, and then study music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs in the afternoon, while attending history classes at night.

The more glamorous they appear in public, the more arduous their lives are behind the scenes. The better the talent of royalty, the more miserable their lives become. Their lives are filled with customized cultivation and cultural courses, accompanied by harsh living conditions that hone their willpower.

Zhou You hadn't experienced having four dishes in three meals a day since she was six years old.

During the four-day break in January, they would rush to the academy to show off their prowess, sweeping aside all the students with the best scores in all subjects and achieving dominance.

Zhou You, her face full of resentment, complained about her experiences and explained her reasons for leaving the royal family:

"My request wasn't unreasonable. Stop treating pills as appetizers and just add a proper roast chicken to my table. Is that too much to ask? But those old geezers said I didn't deserve four dishes and a soup for one meal!"

The more talented a member of the royal family is, the more arduous their treatment will be, in order to hone their mind and strengthen their body. Judging from the combat power Zhou You displayed in the imperial martial arts demonstration, he probably doesn't deserve four dishes per meal. Comfort is for the dead in the graveyard. As an elite member of the royal family, you must hone your physique and will to perfection.

If you're hungry, you can eat pills. But are these pills more valuable than the food that satisfies your appetite?

After listening to Zhou You's account, Su Yan briefly put herself in Zhou You's shoes and immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

My mother and aunt are still the best to me. The royal family of Xia Yu is too miserable.

Not only do they not live a life of luxury and pleasure, but they can't even afford four dishes in a single meal.

Chapter 131 Go away, there are no male mothers here!

Ah, life!

Zhou You took a swig of wine with a melancholy expression. Born into the royal family, he enjoyed privileges that ordinary people could not enjoy. Naturally, he also needed to work hard that ordinary people could not imagine. Otherwise, how could he have entered the court and become a fourth-rank official? If he was unwilling to live a comfortable life in the royal family, he should get out of the royal family.

Zhou You didn't care about martial arts and preferred literature, but the royal elders couldn't stand such things. Therefore, despite not liking martial arts, Zhou You still acquired solid skills and ranked among the top three in martial arts competitions in front of the emperor, overwhelming a bunch of disciples from sects and clans.

"After this job, the spirit stones I get should be enough for me to wander around for a while. When that time comes, I will definitely compile a masterpiece and place it firmly in the main position of the national treasury's library!"

Zhou You seemed a bit drunk, and started talking nonsense.

Zhou You was a regular at Ruchun Garden. He would often come over, order a small snack and a pot of wine, chat with Su Yan, and discuss the customs and secrets of the various demon races.

It was New Year's Day, so Auntie instructed the monkeys to pour the remaining monkey wine from the wine jar from last night into a pot and serve it to Zhou You, so he could have something good to drink.

"A book passed down through generations, yet it remains even after people have passed away, allowing future generations to deeply admire the brilliance of our ancestors!"

"Forget about that imperial book of yours! I doubt anyone else besides Brother Wen would appreciate it."

"What imperial book? That's for the masses. If it's not written in a concise and engaging way, who will read it? Even the best book will end up in the trash! After I finish writing it, I'll just paint 'The Great Ceremony of Union' on the cover with gold paint!"

………………

After drinking with Zhou You until late at night, Su Yan returned to her dormitory and immediately sat down to meditate.

The Imperial Martial Arts Competition was held as scheduled on the third day. It was not suspended due to the influence of the Nightmare Suppression Sect. Because Emperor Wusheng was in charge, the lives of the Xia Yu people were not affected!

Emperor Wusheng is the symbol of Xia Yu's invincibility. If Emperor Wusheng can solve a problem, there is no need to run away. If Emperor Wusheng cannot solve a problem, he cannot run away either. Just be prepared to fight to the death. Having such a celestial protection makes the people of Xia Yu feel a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts.

His Majesty has said that the imperial martial arts exercise will proceed as scheduled, and it will certainly proceed as scheduled tomorrow.

No subject questioned Emperor Wusheng.

………………

"Waaah."

"Aww, aww."

"Who is it that's swearing so foully so early in the morning?"

Su Yan slowly opened her eyes, listening to the incessant noise and cursing outside. Quite puzzled, she got up from the bed and walked to the window to see what was happening in the backyard.

Su Yan jumped onto the windowsill, glanced out, and then the entire fox froze in shock:

"Has the zoo gone out of business?"

In the backyard of Ruchun Garden, one can see cute and charming domestic animals everywhere, with various adorable foxes being the most numerous, occasionally interspersed with a few mountain rascals interacting and spraying each other with three clever monkeys.

The monkeys and the mountain clowns were speaking human language, chasing and hacking at the mountain clowns with pig-slaughtering knives in their hands.

The little fox spoke in a soft, whiny voice. Although it had a slight accent, Su Yan, being a fox herself, could understand it. Therefore, the cute cries of the pets in the backyard all sounded like curses to Su Yan, with a few particularly vulgar ones.

"What happened?" Su Yan leaned out and asked.

"Squeak—Crack!"

When the monkeys saw Su Yan ask a question, they glared at a few of the mountain monkeys with resentment, then gesticulated wildly and began to explain the situation to Su Yan.

Yesterday, a vicious dragon crawled out from the depths of the Demon Suppression Bureau, its roar shaking the heavens and earth and sweeping across the main city of Xia Yu.

Humans naturally felt nothing, but as animals with keen senses, they could clearly perceive the anger contained in the dragon's roar. Domesticated pets, whose intelligence has not yet been developed, have never heard of such things.

Startled and losing their senses, the animals ran around wildly, some even venturing into the cold winter streets. Meanwhile, the warmth emanating from the fully heated Ru Chun Yuan apartment gradually attracted the startled pets from the street.

The monkeys were getting ready to go grocery shopping in the morning when the stray animals crowded in as soon as the door opened.

"Squeak-"

The clever monkey let out a long sigh. He'd gotten up early to buy the freshest vegetables, but now he still hadn't brought them back, and he still had to shovel poop for those unintelligent creatures: *squeak squeak squeak*

After saying that, the monkey sighed heavily again, saying that he was nothing but a burden and only made his work more difficult!

"Wait for me! I'm going to help."

Su Yan looked at the spirit monkey with a face full of laughter and tears. It was the first time she had ever seen such a hardworking and dutiful spirit monkey.

Su Yan leaped from the third-floor window sill into the backyard, using her aerial agility to land steadily. She took a deep breath, roared at the little foxes, and slapped the ground with her paw:

"Eek—"

Intimidated by Su Yan, the foxes immediately quieted down and stopped running around in the backyard.

"Go and put them all in cages."

Su Yan addressed the monkeys, telling them to ignore the few cheeky mountain foxes for now, lock the twenty or thirty little foxes in the backyard in the chicken coop, and deal with the cheeky, smug mountain foxes last.

"Eek?"

Several little foxes that were close to Su Yan tilted their heads and looked at Su Yan, who was squatting down. They tentatively stepped forward and nudged Su Yan's belly with their noses before burrowing into his arms.

There are no male mothers here.

Su Yan's eyes twitched slightly. He raised his front paw, pressed down on the little red fox's head, and pushed them away.

At first, Su Yan found it strange and didn't know what the foxes were trying to do by nudging him, until they started rummaging through their bellies. Only then did Su Yan realize what they were doing.

"Hurry up, or I'm leaving."

Feeling offended, Su Yan told the monkeys to be quick. The lively and active young foxes were not as easy to intimidate as the adult foxes. After a few scares, the young foxes ran to his arms and began to recognize him as their family.

"Stop looking, if I said it's not there, it's not there!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Yan transformed from a fox into a human, startling the little foxes.
