Chapter 1435: Chapter 59: The Wang Family Constructs a Site of Heritage

…

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Shouzhe flew back to the small courtyard with Liu Ruolan in his arms.

In that instant, his image seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light in the eyes of the spectators, appearing exceptionally majestic.

“This… this is too unscientific.” Emperor Longchang’s eyes widened like copper bells, “What tricks did that kid Shouzhe use?”

The Wang Family School has always emphasized science, naturally influencing Emperor Longchang.

Jiang Zhencang was even more annoyed.

If only he had known, he would have wagered his entire fortune against Longchang.

However, his frustration soon dissipated.

Even if he won the bet, so what? That old Longchang is now too poor, poorer than himself, Jiang Zhencang. Even if he won alone, that old fellow probably couldn’t pay up.

In another courtyard by the lake, Wang Ningxi and his uncle Wang Fugui gaped at each other, feeling as if their worldview had collapsed.

Soon, such eye-popping scenes quickly spread among the onlookers and swept across the entire Wang family at lightning speed.

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe took Liu Ruolan and dove into his Carry-on Cave Mansion.

The couple’s originally private and cozy dwelling–Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion–was now almost a tourist attraction. Only the small house in the Carry-on Cave Mansion allowed them to occasionally enjoy their private life.

“Wang Shouzhe, what dirty tricks have you used?” At this moment, the “Liu Ruoling” felt limp and weak as if her Divine Soul was numb, yet her watery eyes glared fiercely at Wang Shouzhe, “Does it feel like ‘Golden Toad Soul Dissipating Powder’?”

The formula for Golden Toad Soul Dissipating Powder, which comes from the Golden Toad Codex, had also been studied privately by the pair.

But with the materials that can be gathered now, the potency of this concoction is mediocre at best; it’s fine for bullying cultivators with a Bloodline below Level Five, but against exceptional individuals like Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan of the Purple Abode Realm, it’s almost negligible.

After all, it is a simplified version, and a Seven-Tier Bloodline with a Great Completion Sacred Body is ultimately no joke.

“My wife, do not take offense.” Wang Shouzhe gently placed her on the bed inside the house, chuckling, “Long Wuji, Brother and Shi Hao brought back a special Spirit Plant from Tianji Continent a few days ago called ‘Drunken Immortal Mushroom.’ This mushroom is one of the main ingredients of the complete formula for Golden Toad Soul Dissipating Powder. Hence, I asked Elder Jiang to help make up a batch as a precaution.”

“A precaution? I think you have ill intentions,” Liu Ruoling sneered, “Carrying it with you, were you planning to deal with that Transcendent Void Realm’s Great Tribute Ji Yueer?”

“No, I was planning to use it on my wife,” Wang Shouzhe smiled, hooking her chin with his finger, “Upon reflection, we’ve been married for one hundred and eighty years. I was worried that if I mentioned some novel ideas, my wife would be infuriated… Today is an excellent opportunity.”

“Wang Shouzhe, what are you planning to do?”

Liu Ruoling’s body shrank back, her gaze seemingly evasive.

“Ha ha ha, of course, I should have my way.” Wang Shouzhe, like a big bad wolf getting closer, playfully said, “My wife, I shall detoxify you.”

However, just as Wang Shouzhe was about to press close to her.

Suddenly!

Waves of water-colored light burst forth.

Liu Ruoling flipped over as if nothing had happened, pressing Wang Shouzhe down onto the bed.

Her slender wrist was soft and smooth, akin to fine porcelain, yet it seemed to contain the power of tens of thousands of jun, firmly pinning Wang Shouzhe unable to move.

“You you you… Ruoling, you’re not affected?” Wang Shouzhe met with this unexpected change, his expression turning to shock and astonishment, “Impossible! Elder Jiang said that the authentic Golden Toad Soul Dissipating Powder wouldn’t have much effect on the Void Realm but should work perfectly against the Divine Skills Territory. The normal Divine Skills Territory is just a Seven-Tier Bloodline anyhow, compared to my wife…”

“The effect is indeed slight. Isn’t that why I need my husband’s help to detoxify?” She looked down at Wang Shouzhe, sweat beads forming on her nose and a flush of red on her cheeks, appearing alluring.

But you aren’t enfeebled… If you aren’t enfeebled, how can I have my way?

Wang Shouzhe wore a look of utter dejection.

After several breaths.

According to laws and regulations, the camera moved outside the small house in the Carry-on Space, with only Wang Shouzhe’s voice faintly coming through the window slits.

“Ruoling, I have miscalculated this time, we are even… you you you, what are you doing?”

“Husband said you wanted to have your way this time, didn’t you?”

“Ruoling, what I meant was not for you to have your way…”

“Four zero four ah four zero four.”

…

Ten days later.

Inside Wang Shouzhe’s study.

Wang Shouzhe, who had just come out of a ten-day retreat, was happily sipping on revitalizing Immortal Spirit Rice porridge prepared with care by his wife, while reading through the Red Moon Demon Dynasty intelligence summaries organized by Wang Mei.

And Wang Mei had obediently made herself up to look like an ordinary beauty, sitting by listening to the Family Head’s guidance.

Liu Ruolan, with a radiant glow, was warmly caring for him on the side.

At this time, a voice from outside the house reported, “Family Head, the family’s Great Tribute Ji Yueer, Tribute Chen Yunlian, Tribute Jiang Qingsnow, and the Misses Ji, Zhiji, and Green Ji have arrived as summoned.”

“Please, have them come in,” said Wang Shouzhe.

“Yes, Family Head,” the voice outside responded.

“Husband is going to discuss official matters,” Liu Ruolan sweetly said, “I shall take my leave for now and go play mahjong with His Majesty at Stay Immortal Residence.”
