Chapter 1038 - 1038 63 Autumn Wind Rises The Great Emperor

Chapter 1038: Chapter 63: Autumn Wind Rises! The Great Emperor Misses Wang Shouzhe (Seeking Monthly Votes)_6 Chapter 1038: Chapter 63: Autumn Wind Rises! The Great Emperor Misses Wang Shouzhe (Seeking Monthly Votes)_6 In front of the house, a tree several meters tall and brimming with vitality, was using her branches to handle a teapot and teacup, pouring a pot of tea and then serving a cup to Wang Shouzhe.

This tree was naturally one of Wang Shouzhe’s beloved daughters—Wang Lixian.

“Yiyiyayaya~” Wang Lixian was still young and not yet able to speak, but communicating with Wang Shouzhe was effortless. Drinking tea was like a daughter’s growth, the leaves that fell during her growth were turned into tea leaves by the Puppets of the Wang family.

Life Immortal Tree Tea!

Although Wang Lixian had not yet reached the level of a true Immortal Plant, her genetic makeup was powerfully that of an Immortal Seedling. Even the leaves that fell during her growth were filled with a unique life energy, which, after being turned into tea, had extraordinary effects.

Wang Shouzhe took a sip and instantly felt refreshed, his fatigue swept away, as his body and spirit were greatly revitalized.

Good tea, good tea.

Only, while the tea was excellent, every time Lixian used leaves shed through her metabolism to describe the tea, it always made Wang Shouzhe feel that something was slightly off …

Forget it, forget it, thinking too much is of no use.

Wang Shouzhe sipped his Spiritual Tea, half-closing his eyes as he began to recount the well-known story of Zhu Ba Jie carrying his wife on his back. However, his audience this time was not the Wang family’s mischievous kids but the Immortal Seedling Wang Lixian, and a “shield”.

Yes, a shield. It was a Blank Artifact Spirit Divine Spirit Shield that Wang Shouzhe had gotten from a new recruit training camp. A so-called Blank Artifact Spirit was one whose consciousness was unclear, as blank as a piece of paper.

Speaking of power, of course, it fell short compared to a Divine Spiritual Treasure with a mature Artifact Spirit. But being blank also had its advantages—it could be cultivated from scratch, shaping the Artifact Spirit’s personality to align well with oneself, ensuring it did not grow crooked. Of course, this process was also very lengthy.

“Yiyaya.” Hearing the story with great joy, Wang Lixian vibrated excitedly, shedding a dozen more leaves, contributing to the stock of Life Immortal Tree tea.

“Yingyingying.” The consciousness of the precious shield Artifact Spirit was still very weak, but it was already capable of some simple tasks, such as catching those falling leaves and collecting them.

“Good Little Tank.” Wang Shouzhe rubbed the Spirit Shield a couple of times, as if to encourage it.

“Yingying.” The shield, affectionately known as Wang Tank, responded excitedly.

Wang Shouzhe had always been interested in shield-type treasures because they represented protection and safety. Having Wang Lixian with her strong offensive capabilities, Wang Shouzhe needed to consider personal defense even more. As long as he remained undefeatable, he could continuously provide firepower for Wang Lixian, and they would be invincible.

A single shield was somewhat vulnerable, but with another Divine Spiritual Treasure Shield, they could adopt the legendary dual shield style.

“Yiyiyayaya.” Wang Lixian was also waving her branches, asking for scratches, hugs, and to be lifted up high—even though she was a tree, she was still just a child, wasn’t she?

Even so, this child’s personality was slightly fierce.

Although she was a Life-type Immortal Plant, her greatest passion was firepower, often urging her father to catalyze and upgrade her firepower seeds. Don’t ask how much firepower was enough for her—more was always better.

“Alright, alright, lift up high, hug and scratch.” Wang Shouzhe said in a relaxed and comfortable manner, “Lixian, oh Lixian, you need to grow up quickly. Once you can speak, Daddy will send you to the Clan School. Daddy tells you, the Clan School is really fun. There are many interesting kids you can grow up with.”

“Yayiyayi.” Wang Lixian was very happy, shaking down a few more leaves. Then, Little Tank quickly caught them and presented them to Wang Shouzhe like a treasure.

“Good, all good.”

…

Just when Wang Shouzhe had distanced himself from the secular world and the mischievous children, living half his days in carefree leisure.

Imperial Palace, within Zhuozheng Pavilion.

Emperor Longchang was half-reclining in a Taishi Chair, feigning a nap, looking somewhat drained of vitality. Those five little wolf cubs had already been enough to wear him out and cause headaches, but unexpectedly, during the past two days, the five little cubs had managed to meet up with the Three Little Ones of the Wang family.

This, therefore, wasn’t a simple case of one plus one equals two.

Within a matter of days.

One piece of “dire news” after another continually pushed Emperor Longchang’s limits.

Having just enjoyed a brief respite, Emperor Longchang wanted nothing to do with state affairs but to rest in peace for half a day. However, before two quarters of an hour had passed, a eunuch came to report, “Your Majesty, it’s terrible. The Three Little Ones of the Wang family, along with the five cubs and two members of the Imperial Household, have all suddenly disappeared.”

“What? I even had ‘Little Jizi’ personally supervising them, and they still got lost?” Emperor Longchang felt a sudden pang of foreboding, and urgently said, “Find them as quickly as possible, the sooner the better.”

Then, after another quarter of an hour, a court official came to report, “Your Majesty, they have been found.”

“That’s good, it wasn’t long. Where were they found?”

“To answer Your Majesty, in the rear mountain’s Immortal Medicine Garden…” The eunuch trembled with fear.

“What? Is the loss great?”

“Yes, we’re still tallying it.”

“Pfft!” Emperor Longchang nearly spat blood, feeling as though he had lost several years of his life. He turned back and spoke softly to Old Yao, “What is Wang Shouzhe up to? So many days have passed, why hasn’t he come to see me yet?”

“Your Majesty, it is said that he spends his days drinking tea, chatting, or wandering around the seed market to collect some rare and strange seeds… in short, very idle,” Old Yao softly said. “Your Majesty, are you summoning him?”

“Summon him my foot. What status does he hold, and what is mine? If he doesn’t come to see me voluntarily, should I beg him to come?” Emperor Longchang’s face grew darker, “The longer he delays, the more I resent him. The later he comes, the more he will have to bear my thunderous wrath.”

“Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe, I’ll remember you,” Emperor Longchang murmured.

Old Yao’s mouth twitched, and he said no more.

Meanwhile.

Wang Shouzhe, who had just emerged from his Carry-on Cave Mansion, sneezed twice.

Suddenly!

The Jade Talisman in his bosom trembled slightly.

Wang Shouzhe grabbed the talisman, his brows tightened briefly, then relaxed again. He rubbed his nose, looking up at the sky and muttered to himself, “The weather is getting cooler, another season of abundant grain harvests.”

Probably, it was time for snakes and rats to make their move.
