Chapter 1588: Chapter 97 The Wangâs Nursing Home Plan Kicks Off
âŠ
Happy, of course Iâm happy.
Looking at his adorable and beautiful little daughter, Wang Shouzhe felt an indescribable sense of happiness welling up in his heart, accompanied by a reassuring sense of relief as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
The cautionary tale of Senior Brother Jinshan was still fresh in his mind. He had been terrified that something could go wrong in the critical transformation moment for Li Xian. If his painstakingly raised daughter suddenly turned into a son, he wasnât sure his heart could handle it.
Thank goodness, though Li Xian was mischievous in her daily life, she had always been a pure girl in mentality from childhood to now. At the critical moment, she had proven reliable for once.
âMy Little Immortal Baby is as pretty as I imagined,â Wang Shouzhe pinched her cheek and ruffled her hair, delighted. âSince Little Kunfish has been diligently catching up recently, thereâs a good chance heâll pass this yearâs exams. You can stay home and be his study buddy, and the two of you can start advanced clan school courses together next year.â
Ad-vanced-Clan-School!
For Li Xian, the middle clan school was already akin to purgatory. The phrase âadvanced clan schoolâ was like a bomb detonating in her tender little heart.
In an instant, Wang Lixianâs rosy, chubby cheeks stiffened, her small lips trembled, and tears began streaming down uncontrollably.
Dad, this is supposed to be my wonderful day of transformation. Couldnât you spare me from hearing such depressing talk?
âCongratulations, Shouzhe. Congratulations, Li Xian.â King Chaoyang and his wife flew in, extending their congratulations together.
To celebrate Li Xianâs transformation, King Chaoyang naturally presented a gift: âShouzhe, I didnât bring too many Divine Spiritual Treasures this time, so Iâll just give something modestâa Spirit Stone red envelope. Use it to buy some daily necessities for Li Xian later.â
As he spoke, eight Spirit Stones already appeared in Wang Shouzheâs hands. These Spirit Stones, each the size of a babyâs fist, were entirely crystal-clear and brimming with massive spiritual energy.
Top-quality Spirit Stones! Each one worth millions of Immortal Crystals.
King Chaoyang casually handed over eight stunning Spirit Stonesâthis could buy two Divine Spiritual Treasures. Such flamboyant wealth was a testimony to the incredible financial power possessed by an Advanced Peak Transcendent Void Realm cultivator, a level far beyond the poverty-stricken Jade Spirit True Monarch.
Within just a few days, King Chaoyang had gifted a heap of treasures to the Wang family. In stark contrast, the miserly Jade Spirit True Monarch always seemed to be looking for opportunities to take advantage.
Meanwhile, Emperor Longchang arrived in mid-air, dragging Master Jiang alongside him.
As soon as he landed, he exclaimed, âLi Xian, my precious granddaughter, come here, come here. Let your grandpa emperor take a good look at you. My, arenât you stunning!â
ââŠâ
Wang Shouzhe had a look of speechlessness. His Majesty sure knew how to seize opportunities to claim kinship.
Being elders and often enjoying the benefits of Li Xianâs Immortal Spirit Qi, the two Void Realm seniors naturally had to prepare gifts for her transformation celebration.
Yet, they were both extraordinarily frugal; Master Jiang reluctantly scraped together a gift worth millions of Immortal Crystals, while Emperor Longchang outright wrote Wang Shouzhe an IOU for three million Immortal Crystals!
According to the emperor, he hadnât expected Li Xian to advance this soonâhe hadnât had time to save up, so the Wang familyâs treasure house would have to cover it first. Heâd repay it gradually later.
After delivering the âgifts,â Emperor Longchang began chattering with Jiang Zhencang, âOld Jiang, us poor old fogeys stuck at Early Transcendent Void Realm are already beneath Shouzheâs notice. Why donât we go to the Sacred Land and seek refuge with Li Yao? I heard that Li Yao has been managing Lingyun Sacred Land quite well lately, with an air of growing prosperity.â
âIâm quite happy staying here with the Wang family,â Jiang Zhencang replied. âI donât want to burden the Sacred Land with my pension demands.â
âHappy? Whatâs happy about this?â Emperor Longchang grumbled indignantly. âI remember back when the Wang family was weak, Wang Shouzhe practically begged me to stay, eagerly offering me a residence at Stay Immortal Residence. Now look, he sees me as useless and discards me like an old shoe!â
âYour Majesty, you are the one who clung to my Stay Immortal Residence and refused to leaveâŠâ Wang Shouzhe retorted helplessly, but seeing it was fruitless to argue with him, he waved his hand dismissively instead. âFine, fine, thereâs no point in further debate. Since Little Immortalâs advancement expanded the Formation Eye region by a whole circle, how about we construct some extensions and set up exclusive small courtyards for both you and Master Jiang?â
Emperor Longchangâs eyes gleamed brightly as he grabbed Wang Shouzheâs arm. âShouzhe, you said it. Donât go back on your word.â
âRest assured, Your Majesty. No one will take your exclusive courtyard.â Wang Shouzhe replied helplessly, âShall we call it Longchang Xiaozhu?â
âToo cramped. Iâve decided that my posthumous title will be âImmortal Martial.â Letâs call it âImmortal Martial Residence,'â Emperor Longchang declared solemnly, hands behind his back.
âYour Majesty, posthumous titles are determined collectively by ministers after a rulerâs passing. You canât just assign one to yourself while youâre still alive,â Wang Shouzhe wiped his sweat and said, âBesides, donât you think your chosen title is a bit too grand?â
âToo grand?â
âNot too grand?â
âI donât care if itâs grand or not. I want it to be called Immortal Martial Residence.â
âVery well⊠Your Majesty, itâs your residence, as long as it makes you happy.â Wang Shouzhe blinked, his face calm. âHowever, Your Majesty, you should mentally prepare for something. Based on Shouzheâs influence over the court⊠regarding your posthumous title, Shouzheâs say⊠haha, you know what I mean.â
âWang Shouzhe, you shameless, power-hungryââ
Emperor Longchangâs face turned dark, and he pointed angrily at Wang Shouzhe, about to launch into a tirade. But halfway through, he suddenly softened, erupting into hearty laughter instead. âIâm only joking with Shouzhe. You are my most trusted confidantâhandsome, incredibly capable, loyal to me and Da Qian through and through. I often wonder what great merits I must have accumulated to deserve the assistance of a once-in-a-generation talent like Shouzhe.â
