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

Phoenix Imperial Clan.

As soon as Zhao Mu walked out of the teleportation array, he saw his father-in-law Feng Wannian walking towards him.

Feng Wannian was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "My dear son-in-law, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came? Where is that girl Huang Xi?"

"Huang Xi is at home. I came over for something, but it's nothing serious, so I didn't want to disturb my father-in-law."

Seeing Feng Wannian traveling with his armor on, holding a divine weapon, but without any of his clansmen by his side, Zhao Mu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is my father-in-law going out?"

Feng Wannian's face froze. He cautiously glanced back to make sure Jiang Ting hadn't noticed. He hurriedly pulled Zhao Mu to the corner of the teleportation array and whispered, "My dear son-in-law, if you run into your mother-in-law later, don't mention that you saw me."

Want to avoid your mother-in-law and act alone?

Zhao Mu seemed to understand something and immediately showed an expression that said, "I understand."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I didn't see anything and I don't know anything."

After saying that, Zhao Mu summoned the Sky-Patrolling Purple Gold Gourd and flew north out of the Phoenix Valley.

As a man, everyone has those little thoughts.

In other words, the mother-in-law has a strong personality and usually keeps a close eye on Feng Wannian. Otherwise, with Feng Wannian's strength and status, there would be no need to be so secretive.

Soon, Zhao Mu flew to the paradise where Ji Zi lived.

With just one call, the gate to the cave opened immediately.

Now Ji Zi's favorability towards him has reached over eighty, which can be considered very close. Things are different now, so it is naturally impossible for her to reject Zhao Mu.

After entering the cave, Zhao Mu walked all the way to the lakeside and saw Ji Zi lazily basking in the sun on a small boat on the lake.

Zhao Mu flew over without any hesitation, sat down next to Ji Zi, and stretched comfortably.

Ji Zi lay on the thick plush cushion, turned sideways and glared at Zhao Mu angrily: "You, a married man, are not at all decent. You can just lie on the bed of a young girl waiting to be married."

"We're friends, what's wrong with sleeping together?"

Zhao Mu is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. As long as he is sure of an 80% favorability rating, it is impossible for Ji Zi to really lose her temper with him.

"You are truly shameless."

Ji Zi knew that she could not do anything to Zhao Mu, so she could only give up.

She sat cross-legged, took the fishing rod and threw it into the calm lake, and began to fish leisurely.

"Tell me what you want me to help you with."

"Can't I just come and chat with Sister Ji Zi?"

"Don't come on, you have so many women around you that you can't even handle them all, how can you have time to chat with me? You must have something you want my help with. If you have something, just speak up. Don't dither. I don't like it."

"Hehe, Sister Ji Zi is really quick-witted."

Zhao Mu smiled and told Ji Zi that he was planning to dive into the abyss.

He did not hold back and gave Ji Zi a copy of the information about the abyss that Xiong Tianming had handed over.

After Ji Zi finished reading, he showed a thoughtful expression.

"I don't know much about the abyss, but there's one thing I'm quite interested in."

Ji Zi said, "Our Divine Phoenix Empire once had a great sage. Thousands of years ago, he journeyed alone into the abyss, attempting to find the lost bloodline of the Phoenix Clan. That Phoenix bloodline was once incomparably noble, but due to certain factors, their bloodline became polluted, and they degenerated into dark phoenixes. The last time anyone saw them was in the abyss."

"That's perfect. You help me go to the abyss, and I'll help you find the Dark Phoenix."

Being stared at by Zhao Mu with eyes full of expectation, Ji Zi was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Never mind, I'll just help you."

Ji Zi muttered again, "It seems that the people of the Divine Emperor Kingdom have discovered my whereabouts recently. They might come to me soon and ask me to return to take the throne. I don't want to go back. This is a good opportunity for me to hide in the abyss."

It turns out there is this reason. No wonder Sister Ji Zi agreed so readily.

Zhao Mu became a little curious.

"Sister Ji Zi, why are you leaving your position as Empress behind and instead hiding away in the lower realm?"

Ji Zi sighed softly, "You don't understand. The situation in the Upper Realm is turbulent right now. The Divine Phoenix Empire can no longer remain isolated as it once did. The Elders' Council wants to ally with the Spirit Pavilion, but I refuse. The other day, I had an argument with the ten elders of the Elders' Council, but I lost. How can I still have the nerve to sit on the throne..."

amount……

It’s okay as long as we haven’t had any quarrel.

Sister Ji Zi is really cute.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. When are you planning to leave?"

"Now you can."

Ji Zi thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll get ready first. Wait for me."

After saying that, Ji Zi flew back to his cabin.

Zhao Mu took the fishing rod and lifted it up, and a big golden fish jumped out of the water.

The divine fire burned out and rose up, and in an instant a fragrant grilled fish came out of the oven.

After taking two bites, Ji Zi flew back and threw a blood-red jade pendant into Zhao Mu's hand.

"What is this?"

"The protective jade, a treasure forged by the current sage of the Phoenix Empire, can help you ward off disasters and difficulties."

"Thank you, Sister Ji Zi!"

Zhao Mu leaned over and quickly kissed Ji Zi on the cheek.

Ji Zi opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared at Zhao Mu in disbelief.

"You are so bold! You deserve a beating!"

After saying that, Ji Zi swung her pink fist and hit him.

The blow was so powerful that even though Zhao Mu was prepared, he was knocked off the boat and plunged into the lake.

hiss……

Zhao Mu surfaced with a distorted expression and quickly clasped his fists and begged for mercy: "Empress, I know I was wrong and I beg for mercy!"

Ji Zi was amused by Zhao Mu's exaggerated expression. She couldn't help laughing for a moment, but she pretended to be angry and said, "If you do it again next time, I will aim my punch somewhere else."

As he spoke, Ji Zi's gaze moved downwards.

Zhao Mu immediately became timid.

A moment later, the two left the cave and flew towards the teleportation array on the purple gold gourd.

According to the information provided by Xiong Tianming, there is a large canyon spanning 36,000 miles at the junction of the Southern Region and the Western Region. In the deepest part of the canyon, there is an extremely hidden space crack that leads to the abyss.

This canyon was created by Emperor Xuanyuan when he fought against the first demon king of the demon clan with a single sword.

Because this sword is so powerful that it can tear the rules apart, it leaves behind such a gap in space.

After arriving at the teleportation array, Zhao Mu was directly teleported to the Jiang family. After several transfers, he arrived at a small town northwest of the Jiang family. Then he continued to make the Sky-Surveying Purple Gold Gourd and set off.

The journey is quite long. Even at the speed of the Sky-Seeking Purple Gold Gourd, it will take two days and two nights to arrive.

Ji Zi had nothing to do, so she started cooking in the purple gold gourd. She prepared many ingredients, stewing and frying them. She didn't eat the cooked food, but kept it directly in her ring.

"Here, I'll give you some. Don't eat it now. Save it for when you get to the Abyss. I brought these ingredients from the Divine Emperor Kingdom. They have the effect of resisting the power of demons and will help you better adapt to the environment of the Abyss."
