I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World

Chapter 295  Let's Cook Rice?

Both Long Ming and Jiang Wanxue were stunned when they heard Qin Shuang's proposal.

" His Majesty, I am afraid I can't accept to this proposal." Jiang Wanxue replied instantly.

" Why though? I believe your and Long Ming's relationship is pretty good?" Qin Shuang probed. " Not to mention, both of your bloodlines are powerful, like matching pieces of puzzle. I believe your children would have a chance to gain the Imperial Bloodline of Ancient True Qilin, or might even awake the ancestral bloodlines."

" An ancestral bloodline is no different than a powerful Heavenly Physique. And both our Four Seasons Valley and Holy Qilin Empire would get benefit from it."

" So, Daughter, You won't agree?" Qin Shuang chuckled. " Go ahead, present your reason for refusal."

" His Majesty…" Jiang Wanxue clenched her teeth.

" Father, I just…Can't! It feels weird."

" Hey, You shouldn't use phrases like that." Long Ming cut in. " It hurts my fragile heart, you know?"

" Shut up!"

Jiang Wanxue glared at Long Ming as her gaze returned to Qin Shuang. " Father, I understand your reason. But… I want to serve the Imperial Family and help Second Brother."

" Wanxue…"

Qin Shuang rubbed his forehead as he looked at Jiang Wanxue. " Hah, So you are finally willing to call me father, eh? What a lass."

" Anyway, I have already decided and I shall talk with Sect Master Xia Yuqing about this."

" Since you didn't give me a solid reason, I shall not change my decision. However, I am not in a hurry to marry you both."

" So, Both of you, spend some time together like an engaged couple."

" Since His Majesty has willed, I shall obey it." Long Ming cupped his fist.

" I… I shall obey father." Jiang Wanxue sighed as she also cupped her fist and bowed.

" Both of you can leave now." As both Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming left, Qin Shuang chuckled.

" What do you think? He got a rather fascinating Blood Qilin Bloodlines."

" I never expected someone would refine the Blood Qilin Bloodline from the blood springs." An old man appeared beside Qin Shuang.

" Your Majesty's reasoning is right. Princess Qin and Long Ming's marriage can bring unexpected alliance to our empire."

" But, Aren't you being a bit hasty?"

" What hasty? It's not like they are some pure friends." Qin Shuang rolled his eyes. " I bet you have sensed that, right? It's not like Wanxue is completely against the marriage. She is just shy."

" Then, What about the Radiant Star Island? They…"

" They don't have any rights on Wanxue, or this Holy Qilin Empire." Qin Shuang snorted.

" Just wait till we assemble the sacred emblem. After that, we shall march back to the Ring of Thousand Islands."

" We have suffered enough. And it's time to return back to our homeland."

" As you wish, Your Majesty." The old man bowed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanxue pinned Long Ming on a wall outside.

" Why? Aren't you gloating earlier? Are you happy now?"

" Why should I not be?" Long Ming smirked. " If someone gets a beautiful wife like you, won't he be happy?"

" Yo-You!"

" And, Don't act like the Emperor didn't know about us?" Long Ming leaned towards Jiang Wanxue, whispering lightly near her ears.

" Sure, He might not know that we already cooked the rice. But he must have known that we already purchased rice, yes?"

" Shameless!"

Jiang Wanxue's ears turned red as she pushed Long Ming away. " Who cooked rice? Don't you think I don't understand innuendos!"

" Hehe, But I am not entirely wrong, am I?" Long Ming chuckled.

" Heaven forbid your father knows about my exploits. Else he will skin me alive."

" Hmph, I shall gladly watch that show." Jiang Wanxue snorted. " I mean, you can sure say not to marriage. But…" Long Ming held her waist, his voice taking a possessive glint.

" You are mine, Wanxue. I won't let another man go near you."

" I am not your doll. Why should I agree to you?" Jiang Wanxue rolled her eyes. But she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

" Well, go ahead. But believe me, all your suitors are going to die a very terrible death." " Is that so?" Jiang Wanxue chortled. " Fine, Enough of the chit chat. Come to my room. We can discuss it there."

" But you look pretty distant from your father. Sounds like your relationship with him isn't much smooth."

" It isn't…" Jiang Wanxue mumbled as she sighed.

" No wonder you still call yourself Jiang Wanxue, not Qin Wanxue."

" It's because I don't want to relate with the Qin Family. Other than brother Qin Chen, I don't like anyone else."

" Well, If you don't want to share, I won't force you." Long Ming replied.

" I know Imperial Family has some rather complicated secrets."

" Yes, For example, young emperor sleeping with the wife of Jiang Clan's junior patriarch."

" Well…"

Long Ming became speechless when he heard that. But thinking about all the world histories, it didn't sound much weird at all.

" It caused a huge scandal back then. Not to mention, my mother got assassinated afterward " Brother Chen's mother took me in and raised me as a daughter. But when I grew up a bit, I went to the Jiang Clan and remained with my adoptive father."

" It must be kinda awkward, eh?" Long Ming asked with a soothing voice.

" It was very awkward at first." Jiang Wanxue sighed. " But gradually, the Jiang Family accepted me."

" I felt very guilty. So, I vowed to pay back my adoptive father and Jiang Family the honor they lost."

" I only want to make Second Brother the crown prince. After that, I shall journey to the central plains and seek my own path."

" Why not the Myriad Star Ocean or the Ring of the Thousand Islands?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.

" Why should I?" Jiang Wanxue rolled her eyes. " I want to stay away from the Qin Family's affairs, not to be entangled in it." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As they entered the room, Long Ming pulled out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flames.

" Wine?"

" I shall have some tea." Jiang Wanxue was going to call a maid, but she was stopped by Long Ming.

" Say no more. I have something for you." Long Ming chuckled as he produced a small wooden box.

When he opened that, a faint yet calming aroma drifted out from it.

" These are…tea leaves?" Jiang Wanxue was stunned. " What kind of tea leaves are they?"

" Not fake."

" … "

Jiang Wanxue clenched her fist as she glared at Long Ming. " Can you stop reminding me about that incident for once?"

" Hehe, Alright." Long Ming chuckled. " This is Purple Sunlight Spirit Tea leaves. It's more than ten millennia old."

" Then, let me prepare some tea for my fiance?" Long Ming chuckled as he brought the cups and teapot.

" Bah…We aren't engaged yet."

Jiang Wanxue blushed as she scowled at Long Ming.

" Anyway, We have to be careful in the Sky Fountain Palace. Because, opening our ancestral vault shall determine who is going to be the Crown Prince." Jiang Wanxue spoke in a serious tone.

" Why? What are you hiding there?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.

" Before answering that, Let me tell you the history of the Qin Family." Jiang Wanxue sighed.
