Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 231

[Chapter 231 Spirit Pet Awakens]

In fact, Lin Xiu’s goal

in the competition is to be second. With the strength he can show during the competition, there is no way he can beat Zhao Lingjun. After all, she is one realm higher than him, and she is absolutely overwhelming in terms of Yuanli. If he is allowed to use all his speed and other abilities, the outcome is unknown.

This can only be known after a specific fight.

The problem is that if a fight really breaks out, he will not be able to use his full strength.

But for him, second place is enough.

Second place can also marry Ning’er, get Emperor Xia to grant marriage, and win Lingyin’s kiss.

Forget it this time. Even if he practices faster than her, how can one year of practice compare to her more than ten years of practice.

In the next competition three years later, he must strive for the first place.

After being suppressed by Zhao Lingjun for so long, he must be on top once.

In the imperial study, Emperor Xia touched his chin, looked Lin Xiu up and down, and asked, “Are you confident that you can take the second place in the competition?”

Lin Xiu shook his head and said, “No.”

Emperor Xia said angrily, “No, what’s the point of saying that!”

Lin Xiu smiled embarrassedly and said, “People always have to have dreams. What if they come true?”

Emperor Xia thought about it and decided to spend more money to help him arrange the wedding. If he really took the second place in the competition, it would be a hundred times or a thousand times the return for the court.

This deal is a sure win.

He nodded and said, “Okay, I promise you that if you take the second place in the competition, I will give you three chances to grant marriage.”

In case he would not admit it at that time, Lin Xiu said, “Your Majesty, why don’t you write a letter to me?”

Emperor Xia was straightforward. He quickly asked Zhu Jin to grind the ink, wrote a few lines, and stamped it with a seal.

A moment later, Lin Xiu took the letter and happily left the imperial study.

He promised Ning’er that Emperor Xia would grant her a marriage, and he also solved Qin Wan’s problem, which was enough to put his mind at ease. Now he just had to wait for him to fulfill his promise in half a year. He

put away the document and walked towards the harem.

Since he was in the palace, he would go to the Imperial Concubine’s place.

She didn’t come to see him compete today.

When he arrived at Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu found out that the pet was sick.

The pet was given to the Imperial Concubine by her mother before she died. The Imperial Concubine regarded it as extremely important. It had been sleeping since last night.

The Imperial Concubine looked anxious. When Lin Xiu came over, she hurriedly said, “Lin Xiu, come and see what happened to Nannan?”

Lin Xiu walked over quickly and took the little guy from Shuangshuang’s arms. He found that it closed its eyes and did not move. Lin Xiu sent the healing power into its body, but there was no reaction.

However, Lin Xiu felt a kind of power from its body, which was exactly the same as the power in his body.

That is the power of thunder.

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment. Could it be that this little guy is about to awaken?

In this world, it is not only humans who can use special abilities. Some exotic beasts can also spit fire and water, fly underground, etc. Could it be that the ability awakened by the little guy is thunder?

Lin Xiu reached into his arms and secretly took out a first-level exotic beast Yuan Crystal from his personal space and put it into its mouth.

Crack!

The sleeping little guy subconsciously bit the Yuan Crystal. Lin Xiu felt the power in its body grow a little stronger.

Yuan Crystal can help humans practice, and can also help exotic beasts awaken and evolve.

Lin Xiu simply took out a handful of Yuan Crystals and fed it one by one. He only heard the sound of “crack” and “crack”. After a while, the little guy in his arms opened his eyes, and silver light flashed in his dark eyes like gems.

It left Lin Xiu’s arms, flew into the air, opened its mouth, and spit out a thunder, hitting the ground to create a charred pit.

The Imperial Concubine and Shuangshuang were both startled. Lin Xiu explained, “Don’t be afraid, your Majesty. It just awakened its innate ability. This is normal.”

After eating more than a dozen Yuanjing, the little guy became lively again. He was very curious about its ability. He flew around in the air and spit out a few thunders from time to time.

The noise it caused even alarmed several female officials in the harem.

The three female officials came to Changchun Palace and looked at the spiritual pet in the sky vigilantly.

Lin Xiu glanced at the little guy, and it seemed to have done something wrong. It flew into the arms of the Imperial Concubine again, looking well-behaved.

But in any case, the appearance of an awakened beast in the harem will pose a considerable threat to the safety of the concubines. In the past, it was just a cat with wings, but now it can no longer be treated as a spiritual pet.

A moment later, Emperor Xia, who received the news, hurried to Changchun Palace.

A female official said, “Your Majesty, this spiritual pet just spit out thunder, which is very dangerous. For the safety of the Imperial Concubine and other ladies, it can no longer be allowed to stay in the harem.”

The Imperial Concubine hugged the pet tightly and said, “Wherever Nannan is, I will be there.”

Emperor Xia fell into deep thought. He knew the significance of this pet to Mingzhu, but it was indeed inappropriate to keep a strange beast in the harem. Even if he agreed, the Queen, Concubine Xian, and other concubines would probably have objections.

He thought for a while and said, “The royal concubine is not feeling well, so I allow her to leave the palace to recuperate for a period of time. Zhu Jin, have someone clean up a royal villa. The palace maids and servants of Changchun Palace will move to the villa with the royal concubine. Also, have the Imperial Hospital send two imperial doctors to the villa to take care of the concubine. When the royal concubine feels better, she will move back to Changchun Palace…” The royal

concubine was delighted when she heard this, and said, “Your Majesty… is what you said true?”

Emperor Xia said, “Your Majesty is serious. You should take good care of yourself first, and we can talk about other things later.”

In addition to the imperial palace, the royal family also has some villas in the royal capital. Sometimes, they would reward them to meritorious ministers. Sometimes, the emperor himself would live out of the palace for a few days. He would let the royal concubine live out of the palace on the grounds of recuperating. No matter whether it was the officials in the court or other concubines, they had no objection…

Lin Xiu did not expect that the little guy’s breakthrough would give Emperor Xia a more sufficient reason.

There was quite a commotion in Changchun Palace just now. The maids from various palaces were wandering at the gate of Changchun Palace. They soon learned that the Imperial Concubine was going to leave the palace.

In Yongning Palace, the Queen frowned when she heard about this and said, “How can a noble concubine of a country live outside the palace?”

After a moment, she came to the imperial study, put a bowl of ginseng soup on the table, and said, “Your Majesty, as the head of the harem, I think it is inappropriate for Your Majesty to let the Imperial Concubine leave the palace. After all, she is a noble concubine, but living outside the palace is not only unsafe, but also likely to cause criticism…” Emperor

Xia said, “The Imperial Concubine is ill. The harem is too depressing and not suitable for her to recuperate. I let her live outside the palace for a while. When she recovers,

she will return to the palace.” The Queen wanted to say something else, but Emperor Xia said, “I will sleep in Yongning Palace tonight. Queen, please go back to the palace to prepare.”

The Queen was overjoyed when she heard this.

At this moment, the Imperial Concubine’s departure from the palace was immediately forgotten by her.

Although she was the queen, she was also a woman, eager to get the favor of her husband. His Majesty might not come to her Yongning Palace once a month. She looked forward to His Majesty coming every day. If he was displeased and changed his mind, it would be too late for her to regret it…

The imperial concubine could leave the palace if she wanted to. She could leave the palace as long as she wanted. It was none of her business…

Her face was slightly red, and she said, “Then, I will go back to the palace to bathe. I will wait for Your Majesty in Yongning Palace.”

The queen hurriedly left the imperial study. The imperial concubine came out from behind a pillar, looked at Emperor Xia, and said apologetically, “Thank you, my brother, for making things difficult for you…”

Emperor Xia sighed and said, “There is no way. If I don’t do this, how can she let it go…” Although

he said this, he was actually looking forward to it in his heart.

He ignored the queen, in fact, more reasons came from his dissatisfaction with the Zhang family.

But in fact, she is a dignified and virtuous queen during the day, but a seductive vixen at night. Few people can resist this contrast temptation, and he is no exception…

He cleared his throat, temporarily erased the images in his mind, looked at the imperial concubine, sighed, and said, “How do you think about that matter?”

The imperial concubine was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll think about it again.”

Emperor Xia walked to the imperial concubine and said, “If you are willing, I will buy a house for you in Jiangnan, so that you can live your life without worries and freely, and you will never have to set foot in this cage-like deep palace again…”

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief. This was indeed the life she expected.

The reason why she has not made a decision is because she still has relatives in Kyoto.

There is a royal brother who loves her and a royal grandmother who loves her. Although Jiangnan is good, she will be left alone if she goes to Jiangnan.

Moreover, there are people in Kyoto now that she is reluctant to leave.

She looked at Emperor Xia and said, “I will tell my brother when I make a decision.”

…

When Lin Xiu walked out of the palace, he was still holding the Royal Concubine’s pet in his arms.

The harem is where the concubines live, and no unstable or unsafe factors are allowed to exist. It had a good time, but it was also expelled from the harem.

The Royal Concubine still has to pack up and should not be able to move out until tomorrow.

Lin Xiu can only take care of it for one night.

It actually awakened the power of thunder. When Lin Xiu practices in the future, he can actually bring it with him, or he can release thunder himself to help it awaken again.

At that time, it alone can protect the Royal Concubine.

After returning to the new house, Lingyin and Qin Wan both loved it. The little guy is really cute. Under Lin Xiu’s teaching, he is also very good at being cute and can easily capture the hearts of girls.

Lingyin, Qin Wan, and Qianye Lin all surrounded it, touching it here, pinching it there, and taking turns to hold it. The little guy looked at Lin Xiu with a look of help, and Lin Xiu gave it a look, letting it lie obediently in Lingyin’s arms.

At such a young age, it didn’t know how lucky it was, and it didn’t know how much Lin Xiu envied it…
