The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 44

Eh? Girls who really listen to instructions?” Jiang Chen's snake-tongued personality was revealed as soon as he saw Princess Gouyu. “It looks like you agreed to trust me. I know your condition is much better than it was a few days ago. At this rate, you will reach eleven meridians of true qi in a month. Congratulations earlier.”    

Jiang Chen's tone of voice was light, as if breaking through eleven meridians true qi was a normal thing like eating and sleeping, and there was nothing to fuss about.    

Princess Gouyu was originally full of hope, waiting for Jiang Chen to praise her with a few words. It's okay though it's a purposeful and general compliment – things like his incredible potential or being a rare genius in martial dao.    

However, tragically, she discovered that this man did not even seem to know that women needed to be praised.    

Seeing Princess Gouyu looking at him with wide eyes, Jiang Chen smiled tiredly. “So tell me, what do you need me for? These last few days have really tired me out. If nothing else, I'll go home and sleep.”    

Princess Gouyu felt angry as well as amused by his attitude.    

“Jiang Chen, looking at your current state, is your father okay?”    

Jiang Chen blinked his eyes. “Do you want something wrong with it?”    

“Of course not,” Princess Gouyu's jade lips moved quickly as she seemed to vent her anger a little. “Am I really evil in your heart?”    

"alright then. We're all in the same boat now. I have to cover my nose and live side by side with the good and bad sides of you, right? Right, you come to my house every day, what urgent business?”    

Princess Gouyu really did not know how to deal with this person and could only answer honestly, “Of course I had a reason when I came looking for you. Follow me."    

"To where? You're not trying to be a crib robber, are you?” A look of caution appeared on Jiang Chen's face.    

“Tear your ass! What do you think I am?" Princess Gouyu almost directly slapped her face.    

“Hmm, you are fierce and look tomboyish... You like women?”    

Princess Gouyu was completely defeated. If sight could kill, Jiang Chen would have already died at least ten times by this time.    

She follows Princess Gouyu along her journey and the two arrive at a large warehouse surrounded by heavily armed guards on all sides.    

They all bowed to each other as they looked at Princess Gouyu.    

Jiang Chen, come in with me.    

Jiang Chen was still staring at Princess Gouyu in front of everyone else as he obediently walked in. This is actually a huge treasury.    

The gold, silver, and other treasures inside were stacked into a small mountain. All sorts of strange and precious treasures were piled high on the shelves on both sides.    

“What do you think this is?” Princess Gouyu asked.    

“Didn't that make no sense? I'm not blind.” Jiang Chen responded quickly.    

“This was all raided from Du Ruhai's house. They sit here, untouched.”    

"Ah? This office dog is greedy?” Jiang Chen started to curse loudly when he heard this was Du Ruhai's loot. “So, the pay is that big to be an official in the capital? I should really consider moving to the capital and becoming an official. What is the importance of being a duke? Warring every day, shedding blood and sweat, and ultimately having to face oppression. How fun it is to be an office. An insignificant and small official like Du Ruhai could hoard so much wealth! I asked, what is your purpose in bringing me here? Are you trying to ruin me? In that case, I only have one sentence — you won, quickly move all this stuff to my house.”    

Princess Gouyu was so comforted by her attitude that she involuntarily smiled.    

He suddenly realized that it was quite calming to be with this damned character. This person always performed a dirty trick whenever he got the chance to do so, and his open optimism always masked his timid-looking attitude.    

“Jiang Chen, my brother has instructed me that you can choose the items that are here.”    

“You really plan to ruin me?” Jiang Chen had not expected Princess Gouyu to bring him here for this purpose.    

“You can't really want everything?” Princess Gouyu's eyes widened.    

“If I wanted this gold and silver, I wouldn't take it from the mouth of a corrupt official. But I could consider spending it on you.” Jiang Chen said with a carefree laugh. “If I remember correctly, there have been successive floods in recent years in the Jinshan dukedom region, and the community is in a difficult time. Nine out of ten empty houses. If the stolen goods can be used to alleviate their suffering, then it can still be considered charity. The only thing unknown is, is the ruler of your house willing to do it?”    

“Are you... are you serious?” Princess Gouyu never expected such words to come out of Jiang Chen's mouth. This allowed him to gain a better understanding of Jiang Chen.    

Jiang Chen said with a grim face, “Do you think I would joke with the lives of millions of natural disaster victims?”    

Princess Gouyu felt a surge of vertigo as Jiang Chen's astonishing truth had left her slightly out of breath. Finally, his phoenix eyes twitched, “Alright, I will make a decision on behalf of my brother. If I remember correctly, the rank of a Jinshan duke and your rank are old friends of the family?”    

“Saving victims is a benevolent act of government. It benefits the face of your royal family. What does this have to do with our two families?”    

Jiang Chen's rebuttal caused Princess Gouyu's face to redden. He also felt that his words were less precise and worth reprimanding.    

After a moment of awkwardness, Princess Gouyu finally found the topic. “Jiang chen, this Du Ruhai is a collector of divine weaponry. These weapons are all amazing, why don't you pick one or two items?”    

"Oh? I definitely won't be polite here.” Jiang Chen did not resist and went to the rack filled with weaponry.    

It would be a bit exaggerated to call this ordinary weapon a god weapon.    

Jiang Chen turned his gaze to that place. Most of these items were trash in his eyes. There were some items that were barely worth looking at.    

Yet Jiang Chen's memories over millions of years of his past life allowed him to slightly realize that there was a wild and pent-up force hidden behind his ordinary outward appearance.    

It was a sort of disparaging reservation showing its superiority in ordinary and ordinary matters.    

It was an understatement of arrogance wallowing in the mud with ordinary weaponry.    

“That's it!”    

Jiang Chen had chosen this sword at his first glance. It will remain a subtle dormancy when it comes time to not stand out. When the tip of his spear needs to be revealed, it will, unabashedly, display peerless brilliance!    

This was Jiang Chen's personality, and also this sword personality.    

A pleasant personality means coincidence!    

Princess Gouyu was a little surprised to see Jiang Chen ignoring the cutting of a sharp blade that was emitting a brilliant beam of light, and choosing a blade with a completely ordinary exterior.    

“Jiang Chen, this is a piece of Gold Crystal Plated Feather and is an amazing material for making weapons. Why didn't you decide?” Princess Gouyu could only bite her finger and make a recommendation.    

If Jiang Chen had only chosen the sword, Princess Gouyu felt that this gift would have been very pale in comparison to the help Jiang Chen had given her.    

"Oh? I think I can only choose one. Then I'll choose that too. But I have this sword and therefore, for a while, I do not need another weapon.” Jiang Chen stopped and suddenly thought of something, his words changed. “The Hidden Dragon Trial is about to begin, therefore I have to make some preparations. Your connections are vast in the capital, aren't they? Help me forge a flying dagger from this material.”    

“Forging flying daggers?” Princess Gouyu started and felt that such an incredible material should be used in refining the god's weaponry. It was a pity to use it to make a small weapon like a flying dagger.    

“Yes, judging by the amount of material, make a set of nine flying daggers.” Jiang Chen did not care the slightest bit about wasting something. To be able to become his flying dagger, belonging to Jiang Chen – this could be said to be the luck of the Gold Plated Feather Crystal.    

Seeing Jiang Chen so firmly, Princess Gouyu would naturally not oppose Jiang Chen's desire to obtain a piece of Gold Plated Feather Crystal. He nodded, “I will try to prepare it for you in the next few days.”    

“Mm. Being friendly and kind is preferable, right?” Jiang Chen had a tone like he was lecturing a little girl.    

Princess Gouyu now did not have the strength to challenge Jiang Chen and rolled her eyes at him. He suddenly thought of something again. “Oh right, Jiang Chen, Pill King Garden will be holding a pill exhibition the day after tomorrow. This is included in the news I received. This Pill King Garden had great ambitions and most likely had a Hall of Healing in its crosshairs. Your Jiang Family has a partnership with the Hall of Healing, so you better be vigilant.”    

“Heh heh, I have also heard of this. It must be interesting.” Jiang Chen flashed a harmless and innocent smile, thinking absolutely nothing of the matter.    

He carelessly spread his hands. “I'll go if nothing else.”    

Princess Gouyu was furious to see Jiang Chen not caring in the slightest. But his mind suddenly changed, wasn't this person always like this?    

In Soaring Dragon palace last time, didn't he also not care at all?    

And what was the outcome? Bai Zhanyun had been punished with one fight, and was now obedient and obedient towards Jiang Chen, as if he was a completely different person.    

“Could this kid not show his face for a few days because he secretly prepared a good scheme?” The more he interacted with Jiang Chen, the more Princess Gouyu understood his acting style.    

When this child showed a harmless and innocent smile, perhaps that was when a plot was being made.    

Recalling this thought, Princess Gouyu inevitably felt anticipation, even though she felt Jiang Chen had no hope of winning against the Pill King Garden.    

Yet this Jiang Chen often performed astounding and shocking actions – who knows what new trick he will do this time?    

Seeing the sight of Jiang Chen's back about to disappear, Princess Gouyu finally suddenly recalled something. “Oh right, Jiang Chen, the situation in the capital has been very complicated all along. Commander Tiandu has decided to arrange for some of his best people to be sent to your Jiang Han palace who will answer your orders. This will avoid you being short of people when you need them.”    

Let them come tomorrow. Jiang Chen recklessly waved his hand, taking advantage of someone but still pretending otherwise. “I say this first – don't just send me some wooden sticks, I will reject the goods if it is not good to use.”    

Princess Gouyu really wanted to take off her shoes and beat up this brat. He was nice to her, even sent her a boy and gave her a gift. How dare he not say a single good thing in return, and instead choose?    

“Bags, this boy bastard.” The trace of a slight smile curved across Princess Gouyu's lips as she gently scolded her with a few words.    

Princess Gouyu could not hate Jiang Chen when she thought of the changes that had occurred within her over the past few days.    

Because, the spell to refine the qi Jiang Chen had given him was too useful. Coupled with the help of a prescription spiritual medicine, and in just a few days, Princess Gouyu could sense that the evil spirit within her was being dispelled and overcome at a speed that could be observed with the human eye.    

The true Qi within his body was also slowly changing from his original wildness into a state capable of being controlled and handled easily, compared to his previous experience.    

All his confidence, self-esteem, and confidence that had been lost, has now recovered.    

The most important thing was that when he did all of this, the true meaning of martial dao also reappeared naturally.    

Eleven true qi meridians…    

A strong sense of desire enveloped Princess Gouyu's eyes – eyes that were as bright as stars.
