I have the best bloodline

“It’s not just your son who has suffered misfortune; your family’s offerings and pets have also been affected.”

A calm voice interrupted the burly middle-aged man's angry roar, saying calmly, "Since the parents are here, that's even better. Take them all back to the Demon Suppression Division to give a statement!"

The burly middle-aged man, his hair standing on end in fury, turned around, about to unleash a torrent of curses. But upon seeing the newcomer's attire as a town magistrate and the well-organized ranks of over a hundred men, he immediately swallowed back the profanities he was about to utter, and said hastily with a face full of anxiety:

"No, are you mistaken? My son has been severely injured, even his manhood, which he is so proud of, is in such a state, and instead of arresting the culprits, you're arresting us to take statements? Is that reasonable?"

"Of course it's reasonable. Why wouldn't it be reasonable? When has the Demon Suppression Division ever needed to ask others for their approval?"

The town magistrate's cold gaze fell upon the man, his left hand slowly resting on the longsword at his waist: "Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, attempting to molest the young girl sent by the North Sea Dragon Clan, and disregarding the law by displaying the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator. I'll give you three seconds to prepare to confront our law enforcement!"

"They didn't say they were going to resist the law; they just wanted to know what law they had broken."

Faced with the earth immortal who had already shown murderous intent, the man immediately covered his head with his hands and squatted down on the ground. Under the circumstances of being locked on by the immortal's murderous intent, whether he had a son or not was no longer important. His first priority was to save his own life.

Take them all!

The town magistrate spoke calmly and gave his instructions.

Originally, it was just a minor matter that didn't require the intervention of the Demon Suppression Bureau's envoy. However, since the person involved was the daughter of an envoy from the North Sea Dragon Clan who was harassed by hooligans in Xia Yu, the nature of the case became slightly different.

The town government mobilized to make arrests, fining people three thousand catties of spirit stones even if there was no crime, and imposing the heaviest sentence if there was a crime, directly maximizing the amount of punishment and fines.

"If Wu violates the rules by using his cultivation in Xia Yucheng, he may face a fine of up to 300,000 jin of spirit stones. According to the law, harassing a girl will result in having his pants pulled down and being hung out to dry in Xia Yucheng's gate. That fox should also be punished with having his fur shaved and being locked in iron pants for seven years, right?"

Watching what was happening downstairs, Jiao Nanwu began explaining the law to Su Yan, Xiao Longnv, and Tu Shan Lingling, who were completely unfamiliar with Xia Yu's laws.

“Some people are alive, but they are already dead,” Su Yan said with a look of amazement.

For cultivators, hanging their pants on the notice board for three to five days wouldn't cause any problems, but for them, it's practically the same as being dead, right?

Little Dragon Girl looked calmly at the street, as if nothing was wrong, and said, "Boring, let's go home."

The defeated male should have died, but she had already given him a small punishment out of consideration for the human race's lack of manners. She wasn't interested in what happened afterward, and even felt that they were affecting her sleep quality.

"Ok!"

Seeing that the Dragon Girl had a long face and exuded an atmosphere of displeasure, Su Yan nodded in agreement. He went inside the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion and found the manager, asking them to arrange a high-class carriage for his group to go to the Imperial City and then return to Ruchun Garden in the eastern district of the city.

Little Dragon Girl dragged her celestial dog fur blanket, sat down in the carriage, and sprawled out, glancing sideways at Su Yan and saying, "I'll pay after a three-day trial stay if I'm satisfied."

To uncover the Dragon Girl's secrets, you need to find her a secluded and quiet place to stay for a month, where she won't be disturbed. The facilities don't matter, and it would be best if even her own father couldn't find her.

Faced with Xiaolongnu's request, Su Yan pondered for a long time but could not come up with an absolutely secluded place.

Just because he couldn't think of it doesn't mean others didn't. Su Yan's plan for this trip to the capital was to ask Princess Wuxi for a favor: to arrange a residence in the capital where no one would disturb Xiaolongnu.

"We're going to the Princess's residence."

Upon arriving at the imperial city gate, Su Yan reverted to her fox form and landed in Jiao Nanwu's arms, covering her cheeks with her two small fox paws. Jiao Nanwu then held Su Yan horizontally in front of the carriage window to show her the princess's official seal.

With the official seal of the princess, Su Yan, apart from not being able to directly go to the palace where Emperor Wusheng resided, was practically one of the privileged classes with unimpeded access within the imperial city, except for not being able to go to the national treasury.

"Princess! Princess!"

Arriving at the gate with the plaque "Eternal Life," Su Yan stepped down from the carriage and knocked on the door. A maid opened the solid wood door to check who it was, and only after confirming that he was a fellow Daoist familiar to the princess did she let Su Yan in.

"Please wait in the hall for a moment, Young Master Su. I will inform the Princess now."

The maidservant hurriedly ran to the dressing room to inform Princess Wuxi, Su Yan, of her visit.

………………

"Oh? Is there something you need in the middle of the night?" Princess Wuxi, who appeared as a little girl, walked into the main hall from the side hall with a smile on her face, holding a small rabbit in her arms.

"Did you run away from home, run out of spirit stones, and then, after much agonizing thought, decide to come and eat my rice?"

"Not at all, I just have a favor to ask." Su Yan simply explained his purpose, asking for nothing more than to give the Dragon Girl a temporary home.

"Are the requirements that high? When it comes to secluded and deserted residences, the only places that come to mind are the Cold Palace and the harem of Emperor Wusheng. If we're talking about a location that the Black Dragon wouldn't dare to enter, it would only be His Majesty's harem."

Princess Wuxi pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Playing that big?" Su Yan's eyes widened. "Living directly in the emperor's harem, aren't you afraid?"

Princess Wuxi shook her head and said, "Although it's called the harem, it's actually just wasteland. Years ago, His Majesty felt that renovations would be a waste of spirit stones, so he ordered the palace staff to stop the renovations long ago."

After the Nine Netherworlds left his body, Emperor Wusheng could indeed be called a heartless emperor. The annual maintenance of the harem required millions of spirit stones, and after rational consideration, Emperor Wusheng ordered the craftsmen to cease repairs.

She had no desire to reproduce, nor did she have the physiological needs of a normal living being. Therefore, every year she would throw millions of catties of spirit stones into places she didn't go. For Emperor Wusheng, this was a losing proposition. So, after a hundred years, the emperor's harem became a wasteland.

It was absolutely secluded there; there wasn't a soul in sight.

“Let her live in the inner palace!” Princess Wuxi said. “I’ll report this to His Majesty.” As she spoke, Princess Wuxi poked Su Yan’s chest and said, “I’ve done you such a big favor, are you planning to repay me in the future?”

"I'll help as much as I can!" Su Yan said after thinking for a moment.

"Go! Go! Go"

Princess Wuxi rolled her eyes at Su Yan and said, "I was just saying I'd be your slave in my next life! Don't think I'm all talk and no action just because I'm honest. Give me something real."

"Something more practical?"

Faced with Princess Wuxi's teasing and flirting, Su Yan pondered for a moment, but Princess Wuxi didn't give him much time to think before leering at him:

"What are you waiting for? Just bow down and acknowledge me as the leader of your sect, and then we'll elope!"

Previously, Su Yan had rejected Princess Wuxi and told her that the reason he could not escape Xia Yu with her was because he himself was in a lot of trouble outside. Therefore, he ran to the main city of Xia Yu and lived a low-key life in seclusion there.

Participating in her plan to escape Xia Yu would not only fail to help the princess, but could also bring her trouble.

This was Su Yan's reason for refusing Princess Wuxi. As for what trouble he was in outside, Su Yan didn't tell Princess Wuxi. Princess Wuxi tried to press Su Yan to tell her what trouble he had gotten into, but Su Yan kept his mouth shut.

Princess Wuxi wanted Su Yan to speak up and tell her in person what trouble he had gotten into. She didn't believe that she, the granddaughter of the Third Prince of the Xia Yu Dynasty and the grandniece of Emperor Wusheng, couldn't handle the trouble Su Yan had caused.

As long as she hasn't escaped, she will still be the Princess Wuxi of the Xia Yu Dynasty, the overlord of the Central Province, the grandniece of Emperor Wusheng, and the granddaughter of the Third Prince!

Even if Su Yan causes a huge disaster in the cultivation world, Princess Wuxi has the means to solve it. As long as Su Yan's worries are resolved, wouldn't he be willing to follow her?

At that time, I will wield the sharp and armored fox in my left hand and the benevolent rabbit with healing powers in my right, forming an invincible sect to recreate the glory of my nine-tailed fox ancestor and dominate the cultivation world for a generation.

Unfortunately, that stubborn Su Yan refused his kindness time and time again!

What are you afraid of, you stinky fox? With your honest and simple appearance, what kind of trouble could you possibly cause?

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

Seeing that Su Yan still didn't understand, Princess Wuxi didn't press the matter further. She simply laughed it off, kicked Su Yan in the butt, and then led everyone to the Palace Bureau, a palace agency responsible for managing the keys, goods entering and leaving the palace, and rentals.

Although the palace of Emperor Wusheng has been abandoned, it is still the emperor's palace after all. Normally, there are arrays and restrictions to prevent unauthorized people from approaching. Entering without a key will trigger an alarm, turning what should have been a simple matter into a major incident that disturbs the Twelve Imperial Guards.

The palace is not just large in area; it is extremely heavily guarded. There are imperial guards patrolling outside and imperial guards supervising inside. Once someone is identified as an assassin, they may die without even a chance to explain.

"It looks alright, not as bad as you guys said before, although I was originally prepared to sleep in this run-down house."

As Princess Wuxi stamped the seal and key in front of the main hall of the Emperor's harem, a transparent membrane of security slowly disappeared, and everyone finally saw what the Emperor Wusheng's harem was like.

Although it was late at night, the huge courtyard filled with flowers emitted a warm glow even without any artificial light. A faint, warm mist lingered on the road, and a palace complex, which was physically cast in gold, could be vaguely seen. Circular vermilion pillars supported a golden roof, and gold and red ribbons were wrapped around it, highlighting a joyous atmosphere.

The hot spring waterfall never stops flowing; even the legendary wine pool and meat forest couldn't be more impressive.

"This is wasteland? Then I might be living in Xia Yu's sewage pipe."

Upon seeing such a magnificent building, with chairs wrapped in top-grade animal hides all around and nine-tailed fox statues everywhere, Su Yan couldn't help but gasp and criticize Princess Wuxi's values.

"This place has not been repaired for two hundred years, so Your Majesty's description of it as a wasteland is indeed fitting."

Princess Wuxi said nonchalantly, "However, every few years, the officials in the court will spontaneously donate money or initiate donations from the people to renovate and repair the harem."

"When I saw it before, it seemed to be decorated with some kind of southern rainforest theme, right? Anyway, it wasn't very nice. It might have been renovated again recently, right?"

How could a sovereign be without a harem? Even if the officials of the court had to tighten their belts, they still had to make sure that Emperor Wusheng's harem was as beautiful as a paradise on earth. Otherwise, they would lose face. The sovereign actually thought that the cost of repairing the harem every year was too high, so he stopped doing it.

The people all hoped that a wise ruler would have an heir, so they would launch a fundraising campaign every now and then. Once the donations were enough, the palace would be renovated, with the hope that Emperor Wusheng would one day be able to use the palace.

Since it was the will of the people, Emperor Wusheng couldn't very well confiscate the donations to replenish the national treasury, so he just let them do as they pleased.

"That's fine!"

Although Xiaolongnu didn't like the style of the renovation, living here was better than staying with her constantly noisy father, so she was barely satisfied.

"I don't know who your parents are, nor am I interested in their past, but as long as you have dragon blood flowing in your veins, whether it's true dragon blood or sub-dragon blood, it doesn't matter."

After obtaining a satisfactory residence, Xiaolongnu, although not directly teaching Su Yan how to partially manifest, chose to reciprocate Su Yan's kindness in another way:

"You must preserve your golden core and use all your spiritual power every day to strengthen and polish it, so that it gradually develops a mirror-like luster, and then the dragon ball will appear."

After dragons form their golden core, unlike other cultivators who nurture their nascent soul through the golden core process, they choose to preserve their golden core and gradually strengthen and refine it into one of the most durable objects in the world: the Dragon Pearl.

This is one of the techniques in the Dragon Clan's innate abilities. Those who are not of Dragon Clan blood cannot refine it, and other races cannot refine the Golden Core into a magical artifact like they would a weapon.

These things are not secrets within the True Dragon Clan, but they are important information for Su Yan, who has no dragons around him. Even ordinary sub-dragons cannot obtain such cultivation methods.

"The Dragon Ball is the Dragon Clan's life-saving treasure and one of the guarantees of their powerful magic. As for how to cultivate it, that depends on whether you understand what's going to happen next."

"This is a transaction between us, not some kind of friendship."

After Xiaolongnu finished her telepathic conversation, she didn't give Su Yan a chance to react at all. She dragged her celestial dog fur and strolled into the inner palace, intending to find a comfortable palace to sleep in.

She was going to live in Xia Yu for the rest of the time. Seeing that Su Yan was so capable of using his connections to let her live in the most luxurious palace in Xia Yu, Xiao Longnv felt that Su Yan would be very easy to use and would ensure that her life would not be disturbed.

Therefore, when they parted, Xiaolongnu set a trap for Su Yan, hoping he would take care of any troubles or unpleasant things she might encounter.

Xiaolongnu, like a gentleman, deliberately made it clear that the reason she told Su Yan all this was because of a deal.
