I have the best bloodline

Princess Wuxi received the Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword from Emperor Wusheng with a solemn expression. Only after Emperor Wusheng finished speaking and left through the spatial gap did a smug look appear on Princess Wuxi's face. She then held up the Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword and fiddled with it in front of Su Yan, saying:

"Red Jade Hairpin Sword successfully acquired!"

"It feels like it wants to punch me twice," Su Yan said, looking at the crimson mist rising from the Red Jade Hairpin Sword.

"Because you haven't used blood to refine it yet, the Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword is currently unclaimed. Not to mention you, if it weren't for my superior cultivation, this demonic sword would probably want to punch me twice."

Princess Wuxi brandished the red jade hairpin sword, then nonchalantly stuffed it into her storage bracelet, saying:

"There are too many people around here, let's find a quiet place to conduct our behind-the-scenes deal."

Princess Wuxi had no interest in the Red Jade Hairpin Sword; she participated in the competition solely to benefit Su Yan.

Now that I have acquired the Red Jade Hairpin Sword, there is naturally no reason for me to leave it in the garden.

"Um, Your Highness, would you please wait a moment while we take your measurements?"

Just as the princess was about to leave, several people from the organizers of the fox tasting event called out to her, looking embarrassed as they pulled out a measuring tape and pointed at Su Yan standing to the side.

Since Su Yan won first place at the tasting event and received high praise from Emperor Wusheng, the fox craze that Xia Yu will start next year will definitely be for a cute fox like Su Yan with snow-white skin and blue eyes.

"No, stop! Get out of here!"

Princess Wuxi glanced at the group and dismissed them with disdain, preventing them from approaching Su Yan to spout nonsense. She then turned to Su Yan and said, "Remember these people. If you have the chance in the future, put a sack over them, take out the hardest object from your storage ring, and beat them to death!"

The tasting event was not organized by a single entity, but rather jointly funded by the owners behind Xia Yu Hu Fang.

There was nothing wrong with them measuring Su Yan, but since they were in the fox business, they naturally had a habit of lewdly harassing Su Yan during the measurement process.

They then pulled out a large amount of spirit stones and asked Su Yan if he planned to rent out his wisdom root. If so, they would start putting up signs after returning to the Fox Farm, saying that they had fox spirit seeds that Emperor Wusheng had praised for sale.

Princess Wuxi had sharp ears and couldn't stand such things, so she immediately started cursing.

"Uh"

The organizer looked at the princess with a wronged expression, but in return, the princess drew her sword and chased after him, slashing him.

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

Princess Wuxi, carrying Su Yan, chased after the organizers of the tasting event, who were running around the garden with their swords drawn.

Although the masters were highly skilled, they didn't dare to disobey Princess Wuxi. They could only helplessly run around, letting Princess Wuxi and Su Yan chase after them.

After they had finished playing, Princess Wuxi picked up Su Yan and said she would take him home.

The voting for the tasting event took place in the evening. After the awards ceremony, we continued to chase after the owner of Fox Farm, which has now made it almost midnight. If we don't send the little fox back soon, my aunt will come and yell at us again.

"By the way, Princess, how is Little Dragon Girl?"

Once seated in Princess Wuxi's carriage, Su Yan looked at Princess Wuxi, who had also revealed her true form and was lying on the cushions with her legs crossed, and asked a question he had wanted to ask when they met earlier that day.

"That sleepyhead living in the harem?" Princess Wuxi stopped eating grapes, and the lady-in-waiting beside her quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the princess's mouth and helped her up so that she could look directly at Su Yan when she spoke.

"How would I know how she is? She's probably already fast asleep. Anyway, last time I followed her to the inner palace, I spent a whole day and night trying to wake her up, but I couldn't."

It would be better if Little Dragon Girl wasn't mentioned, because as soon as she is, Princess Wuxi is filled with anger.

The little female dragon ran into the palace of Emperor Wusheng, lay down on the lawn, used a tree trunk as a pillow, and covered herself with a blanket made of tanned celestial dog fur, and fell fast asleep. Princess Wuxi tried all the harmless methods but could not wake the sleepyhead.

"Uh"

Su Yan's forehead creased with annoyance, and he thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Given Xiaolongnu's lazy nature, it's impossible for her to come looking for him for no reason. It would be best if she were in Wusheng Emperor's harem, sleeping until almost home, and then coming to see him before going home to tell him about the method of condensing the Dragon Pearl and the ability to partially transform the body.

"I'll leave you here. Go home and rest for a while to get yourself in good condition before you can refine the Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword, understand?"

"I still have rabbits to take care of in my residence. I need to feed them dried spiritual plants later."

Princess Wuxi escorted Su Yan to the back of the brothel. A fox's head peeked out from the carriage window, repeatedly urging Su Yan to make sure he was in good health before he could refine the Red Jade Hairpin Sword.

Strictly speaking, the Red Jade Hairpin Sword should be classified as a type of weapon called a demonic sword.

Refining spiritual artifacts is extremely mentally taxing, let alone refining highly offensive demonic artifacts. If Su Yan is not careful during the refining process, he may have to stay in the Imperial Medical Bureau for half a month.

"Before I begin refining the Crimson Jade Hairpin Sword, I will have my aunt come and protect me."

Su Yanren stood up to respond to the princess's concern, raised his hand and waved goodbye to Princess Wuxi.

"."

Standing by the fourth-floor window, the aunt watched Su Yan bid farewell to Princess Wuxi. Overhearing their conversation mentioning the Red Jade Hairpin Sword, her cheek twitched slightly. She immediately sent a telepathic message to Su Yan: "You accepted the Red Jade Hairpin Sword?"

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Su Yan looked up at the window sill on the fourth floor of the building and immediately saw her aunt standing by the window.

"Aunt, I initially refused, saying that the gifts I had given before were already quite precious, and I still didn't know how to reciprocate. If I said anything more, the princess would get angry."

"Either you carry the sword, or you swallow it, or I'll stick glue to your butt."

Su Yan said helplessly, "I can't pay it back. I owe the princess so many favors. It doesn't matter now."

Just as there are differences between people, there are also vast differences between foxes.

Faced with a wealthy and cunning woman like the princess, Su Yan, who originally came from a good family, suddenly felt dejected.

"Let's set a date for your wedding?"

The aunt couldn't help but complain about Su Yan, saying with a helpless expression, "Let's not talk about the princess for now. There's another problem waiting for you in the brothel. You'd better figure out how to deal with her!"

Confused, Su Yan ran from the back gate to the main hall. Looking up, he saw Jin Lin sitting on a bench with his eyes closed, resting.

Upon seeing Jin Lin, Su Yan was taken aback.

"We still have an unfinished duel between us."

Jin Lin, sitting in the brothel, opened his eyes and looked at Su Yan, who had just returned home, and said:

"I will be setting off back to the Eastern State tomorrow. I don't want to leave any regrets or obsessions in Xia Yu. Excessive worries will only dull the sharp blade in my hand."

"Fox demon, come and fight!"

Jin Lin rose from his seat, his gaze sharp as a sword as he looked at Su Yan and said, "You will be my last victory in Xia Yu's triumphant reign!"

"?"

Wow, what a competitive person.

Chapter 158 Su Yan: What about the children's table?

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Seeing Jin Lin draw her sword with fierce fighting spirit, Su Yan quickly raised his hand to refuse, saying, "In terms of magic and martial arts, I am sure I cannot defeat Fairy Jin. Therefore, I am prepared to change the subject of our fight. Does Fairy dare to agree?"

Having just returned from the fox tasting event, Su Yan, exhausted from half a day, had no desire to fight. However, seeing Jin Lin's high fighting spirit, he estimated that Jin Lin wouldn't give up until they had fought for hundreds of rounds.

The Golden Fairy only wants to decide the winner; she doesn't necessarily need to use magic to fight, does she?

Su Yan didn't want to be electrocuted by the Golden Scale White Lightning.

"Set a question."

After staring at Su Yan for a moment, Jin Lin confidently asked Su Yan to name the competition event.

"Let's compete in this."

Seeing that Jin Lin had agreed, Su Yan transformed into a young man in human form, turned around, walked into the mahjong area, took out a brand new set of dominoes, held it up in front of him, looked at Jin Lin, and said:

"It's a 32-card Pai Gow game, a common gambling game in the Xia Yu territory. A cultivator's life revolves around four things: wealth, companionship, law, and land, with wealth being the most important. So let's compete in [luck]!"

The four essential elements of cultivation are wealth, companion, Dharma, and location.

The word "wealth" refers to riches, but it can also mean luck. As long as a cultivator's luck is strong and unwavering, the cultivator will never lack money.

Just like my aunt, although she kept complaining that she was so poor that she was paralyzed, she was always a model of having plenty of money, even if she was paralyzed in a brothel and did nothing, she would still have no worries about food and clothing.

"interesting."

Jin Lin looked at Su Yan and chuckled, saying, "The fox demon's cunning is on full display. State the rules."

"Everyone randomly draws two dominoes, and the one with the higher sum of the dominoes wins."

Su Yan, who was exposed for being lazy and not wanting to compete, did not show any embarrassment. He simply followed Jin Lin's words and explained the rules for winning Pai Gow.

"Give me some extras."

Jin Lin raised his hand and waved it, and several earthenware jars appeared inside the brothel from his storage bracelet, their clear liquids rippling slightly: "They are all filled with spiritual spring water. Since you, fox demon, say you want to compete in [luck], then luck has its ups and downs, and as the saying goes, it's all about timing and fate. So let's settle this once and for all!"

Just as everyone experiences periods of prosperity and decline, so too does fortune have its periods of decline and prosperity; luck is not a constant value.

Playing dominoes to determine the highest rank was too childish, so Jinlin added some extras to the game.

The hundreds of earthenware jars were filled with spiritual spring water, which was the water that Jinlin used when he went out hunting. It tasted sweet and refreshing, and could quench his thirst. However, drinking too much of it would cause him to vomit because of the intense coldness of the spiritual spring.

"please!"

Seeing this, Su Yan smiled confidently, casually placed the brand-new Pai Gow deck on the table and shuffled it, then had Jin Lin cut the deck, and immediately all thirty-two cards were spread out on the table.

Su Yan blindly selected two Pai Gow cards and turned them over. The cards revealed a total of 20 points for the double eleven.

Jin Lin glanced at Su Yan, then flipped over two cards, revealing a total of twenty points (two red-headed tens).

Su Yan's confident smile froze slightly. He looked down at the tie score, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He felt that things might not be so simple.

"If it's a tie, then one jar each!"

Jin Lin had never played gambling before, but after the score was tied, he raised his hand and beckoned two earthenware jars, and each of them drank from one jar.

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

The next morning.

"Auntie, I feel so bad."

Unable to maintain his human form, Su Yan lay on the threshold of the brothel entrance, spitting out a stream of clear, transparent water from his fox mouth, which splashed onto the completely soaked wooden steps: "Much worse than drinking."

"Pfft."

Seeing the little fox with its belly bulging out, revealing the soft flesh beneath its fur, whimpering and drooling, Auntie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
