Chapter 416: Chapter 414 The First Chip
“Then we wait three months. If the task is deemed a failure after three months, we’ll head back to the Beast World.”
“Alright, Xiaomei will follow the host’s arrangement.”
“Where is Tianhu Mountain? I want to go see the two kids.”
“It’s very far from here. Kunhuang City is actually considered part of the new Divine Clan’s Divine Realm, occupying the area with the densest Divine Qi in the Divine Realm. Tianhu Mountain is located in a peripheral Divine Realm, mostly inhabited by members of the Ancient Divine Clan, where the Divine Qi is thin.”
“What? My son and daughter are living on the fringes?” Sally’s tone became displeased all of a sudden, “Is Qing Linghuan even getting by in the Divine Realm… and is this You Hao ancient or new?”
“Ancient Divine Clan, but he’s powerful and a ruler of a region, so the new Divine Clan doesn’t dare to provoke him easily.”
Yunjiao Beauty Pavilion.
The place where Sally and Fan Qiqi were staying.
A central room flanked by east and west wing rooms, quaint and elegant. The yard housed a small pond, with lotus flowers blossoming and several koi fish swimming around.
“Someone will send food and necessities on schedule every day. The Noble Consort may settle here in peace and wait for the Divine Monarch’s favor,” Sun Fuxiang told Sally.
Sally nodded, “Thank you.”
Then she said to Fan Qiqi, “Take this as a reward.”
Sun Fuxiang hurriedly said, “No, no need.”
Reluctantly, Fan Qiqi took out two semi-transparent golden mid-grade Divine Crystals from her space bracelet and handed them to Sun Fuxiang, “The Noble Consort rewards you.”
“Thank you, Noble Consort.” Sun Fuxiang took the mid-grade Divine Crystals, bowed to Sally, and left.
After Sun Fuxiang had left, Fan Qiqi immediately exploded, “What do you think you are doing, making me give him money?! Two mid-grade Divine Crystals, that’s almost half a month of my allowance.”
Sally replied, “You could have given him lower-grade Divine Crystals.”
“Lower-grade! I am a Noble Consort, how could I hand out something so cheap?” Fan Qiqi scorned with a curl of her lip, “From now on, this will come out of your monthly allowance.”
“Monthly allowance? What’s that?”
“A Noble Consort gets three thousand lower-grade Divine Crystals a month, that’s mine. A Palace Attendant gets three hundred lower-grade Divine Crystals a month. For these two mid-grade Divine Crystals, I’m docking you two hundred.”
Sally nodded, since she couldn’t go out, the Divine Crystals were of no use to her anyway.
After settling in at Yunjiao Beauty Pavilion, Sally, as the Noble Consort, was not convenient to leave. Thus, she meditated every day, breathing in the purest Divine Qi from the heavens and the earth.
And the Nascent Soul within her Dantian actually cultivated faster in the Divine Realm, which was an unexpected gain.
Since Fan Qiqi swapped identities with Sally and became a Palace Attendant, she didn’t have to stay in the Yunjiao Beauty Pavilion all the time.
Not cultivating, she went out every day to listen to gossip and idle chatter, then came back to regale Sally with it, never forgetting to add that they were all minor figures and she was truly of noble birth, the real Yaochi Goddess.
Sally didn’t know what to say and chose to speak less.
But the news she brought was all the latest, saving Sally the trouble of going out to inquire.
Divine Monarch You Hao returned to the Divine Mansion a month ago but went into seclusion as soon as he did.
Now a month had passed, and the Divine Monarch had exited seclusion. Yet, he paid no attention to the Noble Consorts in the backcourt.
According to Fan Qiqi, it was because the other Noble Consorts were of too lowly status and too unsightly, that the Divine Monarch did not visit the backcourt.
She encouraged Sally to take the initiative to seduce the Divine Monarch and conceive an heir as soon as possible.
Sally: …Take the initiative to seduce? Impossible!
She had already held out for one and a half months, and in another one and a half months, they could go back to the Beast World. Absolutely not.
Sun Fuxiang passed through a Barrier gate and came to a valley where birds sang and flowers fragranced, and in front of him lay a waterfall in Dense Shade Mountain Stream.
The Divine Qi here was exceptionally dense, more than ten times denser than outside the Barrier.
Suddenly, behind the waterfall, a tall and graceful silhouette appeared, as if hidden and yet distinguishable.
“What’s the matter?” asked a calm and low voice, which wasn’t drowned out by the clear sound of the waterfall.
Sun Fuxiang said, “There are seven more Noble Consorts in the back courtyard; does the Divine Monarch intend to…”
If one desires offspring, one must actively sow the seeds. Merely inviting the ‘fields’ over and not tilling, how can there be a bountiful harvest?
“You pick one and send her to Yuhua Palace.”
“Your servant obeys,” Sun Fuxiang bowed and left the blessed land of the mountain stream.
After Sally finished her cultivation, she sat beside the small pond in the courtyard, her feet soaking in the cool water, which was incredibly refreshing.
Sun Fuxiang came over, saw Sally soaking her feet without any Palace Attendant by her side, and hurried forward. He took out a brand new soft gauze towel from the Storage Bag and handed it to Sally.
