My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

Qianyuan Dynasty.

Imperial capital [Yuanjing City].

Rather than saying it is a city, it is more like a giant pyramid.

The entire Yuanjing City is built on a giant transformed mountain.

The mountains are smoothly divided into five gradients, each representing a different class.

Living below the foothills are common people.

Going up are the areas where farmers, merchants, warriors, and nobles live.

There is a height difference of hundreds of meters on each floor, and there are only a limited number of roads that allow people to go up and down, creating a situation where the distance between them is not far, but it seems like a world away.

Zhao Mu's first impression when he arrived in Yuanjing City was that the local class system must be very clear.

The common people living at the foot of the mountain are destined to look up to the powerful people living on the top of the mountain all their lives.

In this environment, countless people would try their best to climb up.

Every step up means a huge leap in class.

In the second district, in a luxurious manor full of extravagance.

Wang Yuxuan, the queen in black stockings, respectfully invited Zhao Mu to her home.

To be precise, this is the residence of Wang Zhen, the prime minister of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Wang Yuxuan is the daughter of the prime minister.

In the Qianyuan Dynasty, such an identity could definitely be considered as the best of the best.

"Yuxuan, what are you wearing?"

As soon as they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, a tall, upright, middle-aged man with an upright face walked out, glared at Wang Yuxuan and scolded her.

"father……"

Wang Yuxuan blushed in embarrassment.

It’s all Mr. Zhao’s fault. He gave her black stockings and asked her to wear them all the time.

Now, I was caught red-handed by my father as soon as I got home.

At this time, Wang Zhen also saw Zhao Mu and An Jing returning with their daughter, and his eyes lit up.

"This young man is quite handsome. I wonder which family he belongs to and what is his relationship with my Yuxuan?"

The prime minister of this dynasty is quite gossipy.

An Jing coughed twice and said with a straight face, "Sir Wang, this is a distinguished guest invited by the Empress. It would be best if you do not ask about her without permission."

"So this is the Empress's distinguished guest. I apologize for not welcoming you. Yuxuan, quickly take the guest to Qinghua Garden and make sure to treat him well. I have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Wang Zhen left quickly.

An Jing muttered beside Zhao Mu, "Prime Minister Wang has always been upright and never formed cliques. The Empress has tried to win him over several times but failed. He's just trying to avoid suspicion."

Wang Yuxuan said, "Father is timid. He doesn't dare to get too close to any faction, but he also doesn't dare to offend any faction."

"You're wrong about that."

Zhao Mu tapped Wang Yuxuan on the forehead. "Your father was able to survive the battle for the throne because of his cautious attitude. To reach his position, he always insists on avoiding mistakes rather than achieving anything. You still need to learn from him."

Wang Yuxuan stuck out her tongue playfully: "Mr. Zhao is right."

On that day, Zhao Mu temporarily stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion under Wang Yuxuan's arrangement.

An Jing went into the palace first.

It is not appropriate for Zhao Mu, an outsider, to enter the palace rashly. After all, Ju Jinhua has just taken the position of queen and her foundation is still unstable. It is impossible for her to treat the palace as her own home.

If you want to see Zhao Mu, you still have to do it secretly.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should meet Zhao Mu privately tonight.

Of course Zhao Mu wouldn't mind.

In this huge Qianyuan Dynasty, there are countless eyes watching us, both openly and secretly. It is always better to be careful.

Qinghua Garden.

This is the place specially used by the Prime Minister's Mansion to entertain distinguished guests. It is decorated extremely luxuriously and there are hundreds of servants alone.

Zhao Mu took a short break and then asked Wang Yuxuan, "Do you know Li Xiaoxiao?"

"Of course I know. *** disappeared seven years ago and there has been no news since then. It's unknown whether she's alive or dead. The old emperor died because he missed her so much."

Wang Yuxuan asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly mention ***?"

"I met Li Xiaoxiao's ghost in the ghost nest. She was killed by the Jiuxuan Sect."

"what!"

Wang Yuxuan was shocked.

"what happened?"

Seeing Wang Yuxuan's emotions fluctuating so violently, Zhao Mu was a little puzzled.

Wang Yuxuan swallowed her saliva and said, "Young Master, you don't know this, but Li Xiaoxiao is the most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou. She has countless admirers, even the Sword God Ye Changqiu is her bootlicker. Ye Changqiu used to have a good relationship with the Qianyuan Dynasty, but after Li Xiaoxiao's death, Ye Changqiu broke off relations with the Qianyuan Dynasty completely. Even now, Ye Changqiu is still searching for Li Xiaoxiao's whereabouts."

Uh...is this true?

Zhao Mu admitted that Li Xiaoxiao was indeed good-looking, but it was too exaggerated to call her the most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou.

Could it be because of Li Xiaoxiao's current spirit body...

Wang Yuxuan added, "Ye Changqiu also publicly announced that whoever can find Li Xiaoxiao's whereabouts will be given a great opportunity."

"Sir, this opportunity cannot be missed. Let's go to the ghost nest and retrieve the ghost's soul!"

"No, I've already brought her back."

Zhao Mu said lightly.

"Ah? I have a special physique and am born with the ability to sense spirits. How come I don't feel anything at all?" Wang Yuxuan said in disbelief.

Zhao Mu returned to the house and transferred Li Xiaoxiao's spirit out of the Void Ring.

She was floating in the air with a dazed look on her face, her brows slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little unhappy.

"What a ****!"

Wang Yuxuan was stunned.

"Sir, can you let the demon attach itself to me? I can help her regain consciousness."

"can."

After getting permission, Wang Yuxuan began to activate the power of her innate spiritual body without saying a word. A bright light emanated from her whole body, directly submerging Li Xiaoxiao.

The next second, Li Xiaoxiao's spirit was pulled into Wang Yuxuan's body.

"I...where is this?"

Wang Yuxuan slowly opened her eyes, and her tone and expression changed drastically.

Li Xiaoxiao successfully possessed the body.

"Damn, I'm Wang Yuxuan, the daughter of Prime Minister Wang Zhen. I held you in my arms when you were a child."

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard another voice coming out of her mouth.

When she heard Wang Yuxuan's name, she reacted immediately.

"Yes, I remember you were born with psychic powers, so I am... Oh, I remember now. It was the Great Elder of the Jiuxuan Sect, Xue Chen, who killed me and took away my Supreme Divine Bone. I want revenge..."

As she spoke, a deep sense of hostility erupted from Wang Yuxuan.

Zhao Mu immediately took action to suppress it.

"Li Xiaoxiao, calm down. You are just a lonely ghost now and can't do anything."

Zhao Mu's words were like a wake-up call, and Li Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly became clear again.

She raised her head and stared at Zhao Mu.

"It's you... I remember you. It was you who brought me out of the ghost nest. And Sister Xingqiong... She was just chatting with me. She praised you for being very handsome, saying that you were no less handsome than Master Fusheng."

"It's quite nice, let me take a few more looks..."

As she was talking, Li Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and fell asleep.

It was only after a while that Wang Yuxuan regained control of her body.

"Sir, I checked ***'s soul memory and made a major discovery!"
