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 ept to this proposal." Jiang Wanxue replied instantly.


    " Why though? I believe your and Long Ming''s rtionship 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 red 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 ass."


    " 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 ispletely against the marriage. She is just shy."


    " Then, What about the Radiant Star Ind? 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 Inds."


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


    " 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 dly 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 rtionship 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 rte 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 ratherplicated secrets."


    " Yes, For example, young emperor sleeping with the wife of Jiang n''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 n 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 epted 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 ins and seek my own path."


    " Why not the Myriad Star Ocean or the Ring of the Thousand Inds?" 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."


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


    " Wine?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " 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 red 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 Pce. 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.
