Chapter 1588: Chapter 97 The Wang’s Nursing Ho Plan Kicks Off
…
Happy, of course I’m 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 sothing could go wrong in the critical transformation mont for Li Xian. If his painstakingly raised daughter suddenly turned into a son, he wasn’t 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 ntality from childhood to now. At the critical mont, she had proven reliable for once.
“My Little Immortal Baby is as pretty as I imagined,” Wang Shouzhe pinched her cheek and ruffled her hair, delighted. “Since Little Kunfish has been diligently catching up recently, there’s a good chance he’ll pass this year’s exams. You can stay ho and be his study buddy, and the two of you can start advanced clan school courses together next year.”
Ad-vanced-Clan-School!
For Li Xian, the middle clan school was already akin to purgatory. The phrase “advanced clan school” was like a bomb detonating in her tender little heart.
In an instant, Wang Lixian’s 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. Couldn’t you spare from hearing such depressing talk?
“Congratulations, Shouzhe. Congratulations, Li Xian.” King Chaoyang and his wife flew in, extending their congratulations together.
To celebrate Li Xian’s transformation, King Chaoyang naturally presented a gift: “Shouzhe, I didn’t bring too many Divine Spiritual Treasures this ti, so I’ll just give sothing modest—a Spirit Stone red envelope. Use it to buy so daily necessities for Li Xian later.”
As he spoke, eight Spirit Stones already appeared in Wang Shouzhe’s hands. These Spirit Stones, each the size of a baby’s 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 Stones—this 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 seed to be looking for opportunities to take advantage.
anwhile, Emperor Longchang arrived in mid-air, dragging Master Jiang alongside him.
As soon as he landed, he exclaid, “Li Xian, my precious granddaughter, co here, co here. Let your grandpa emperor take a good look at you. My, aren’t you stunning!”
“…”
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 Xian’s 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 hadn’t expected Li Xian to advance this soon—he hadn’t had ti to save up, so the Wang family’s treasure house would have to cover it first. He’d repay it gradually later.
After delivering the “gifts,” Emperor Longchang began chattering with Jiang Zhencang, “Old Jiang, us poor old fogeys stuck at Early Transcendent Void Realm are already beneath Shouzhe’s notice. Why don’t 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.”
“I’m quite happy staying here with the Wang family,” Jiang Zhencang replied. “I don’t want to burden the Sacred Land with my pension demands.”
“Happy? What’s happy about this?” Emperor Longchang grumbled indignantly. “I rember back when the Wang family was weak, Wang Shouzhe practically begged to stay, eagerly offering a residence at Stay Immortal Residence. Now look, he sees as useless and discards like an old shoe!”
“Your Majesty, you are the one who clung to my Stay Immortal Residence and refused to leave…” Wang Shouzhe retorted helplessly, but seeing it was fruitless to argue with him, he waved his hand dismissively instead. “Fine, fine, there’s no point in further debate. Since Little Immortal’s advancent expanded the Formation Eye region by a whole circle, how about we construct so extensions and set up exclusive small courtyards for both you and Master Jiang?”
Emperor Longchang’s eyes glead brightly as he grabbed Wang Shouzhe’s arm. “Shouzhe, you said it. Don’t go back on your word.”
“Rest assured, Your Majesty. No one will take your exclusive courtyard.” Wang Shouzhe replied helplessly, “Shall we call it Longchang Xiaozhu?”
“Too cramped. I’ve decided that my posthumous title will be ‘Immortal Martial.’ Let’s call it ‘Immortal Martial Residence,'” Emperor Longchang declared solemnly, hands behind his back.
“Your Majesty, posthumous titles are determined collectively by ministers after a ruler’s passing. You can’t just assign one to yourself while you’re still alive,” Wang Shouzhe wiped his sweat and said, “Besides, don’t you think your chosen title is a bit too grand?”
“Too grand?”
“Not too grand?”
“I don’t care if it’s grand or not. I want it to be called Immortal Martial Residence.”
“Very well… Your Majesty, it’s your residence, as long as it makes you happy.” Wang Shouzhe blinked, his face calm. “However, Your Majesty, you should ntally prepare for sothing. Based on Shouzhe’s influence over the court… regarding your posthumous title, Shouzhe’s say… haha, you know what I an.”
“Wang Shouzhe, you shaless, power-hungry—”
Emperor Longchang’s 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. “I’m only joking with Shouzhe. You are my most trusted confidant—handso, incredibly capable, loyal to and Da Qian through and through. I often wonder what great rits I must have accumulated to deserve the assistance of a once-in-a-generation talent like Shouzhe.”
