This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

"Hasty? This is the custom of my Tianwu Empire, so how can you say it's hasty?"

"Customs are customs, and this is not the original intention."

Ji Ruqing frowned. "So you think our engagement isn't what you wanted?"

Su Yu nodded. "I just think we're still young and should focus on cultivating our Dao."

"What happens after you begin cultivating the Tao?"

"The cultivation of Tao never ends; after one has finished cultivating Tao, one will naturally continue to cultivate Tao."

"......"

"Interesting." Ji Ruqing stared at Su Yu's face, a smile involuntarily curving her lips.

"The Mu family should have a martial arts training ground or something, right? Why don't you come with me to practice?"

"Your swordsmanship is clear and your cultivation is quite good. Let me see what you're capable of."

Su Yu's eyes lit up; he was also eager to see what made Ji Ruqing so formidable.

However, this is not the most important thing.

"Your Highness, let's go have some tea first, since my mother said she wants to entertain you first."

"No need, let's go straight to the training ground. Whether we drink tea or not doesn't really matter."

"No! I have to go. If I don't treat you well, my mother will blame me," Su Yu insisted.

This was the first time Ji Ruqing had seen Su Yu with such an expression, and he couldn't help but laugh again.

"Fine, fine, since that's the case, let's go have some of your so-called tea first..."

"You should still call me Ruqing, and I'll call you Qingyi. That way, it won't seem like we're being distant."

"Okay, Your Highness."

"Hmm?" Ji Ruqing narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, then stopped her foot, which she was about to lift.

Su Yu: .......“Yes, Your Highness Ruqing.”

Ji Ruqing was taken aback. He didn't say anything more, just shook his head slightly and followed Su Yu's steps.

Before long, they arrived at the flower pavilion in the backyard.

For some reason, the surroundings were quiet and deserted.

Su Yu gestured for Ji Ruqing to sit on the stone chair, and then went to make tea.

He originally planned to refine all the high-grade natural treasures into it.

However, he had used up most of the rare and precious materials when he broke through to the peak of the King Realm not long ago, and he was now in tears.

Now we can only mix in some of the remaining rare and precious materials.

Before long, Su Yu placed a cup of tea in front of Ji Ruqing.

Ji Ruqing: ....... "???"

Is this tea?

Although he was not often in the Tianwu Empire, he had drunk many famous teas.

This stuff has absolutely nothing to do with tea.

This involves incorporating a variety of rare and precious materials, creating a unique medley.

Ji Ruqing sniffed it.

No, he's wrong, there are even elixirs...

"This...this tea...did you brew this?"

Su Yu nodded slightly, "Drink it, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"......"

Ji Ruqing originally wanted to say she didn't want to drink it, but seeing Su Yu's expectant gaze, she swallowed it all in the end.

Gollum~

"How about it?"

"Ahem... Good, good tea!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful!]

[Investment Resources: Golden Essence Pill, Healing Pill, Shadow Moon Lotus, Shattered Spirit Jade; Investment Target: Ji Ruqing (Red Destiny), Rewards are currently being distributed...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Grade 5 Essence Pill, a Grade 6 Heavenly Treasure, the Hun Tian Xuan Leaf, and a Grade 7 Array Master's memory inheritance!]

"this......"

How did you get these after throwing in a few fourth-tier treasures?

The reward was actually alright, but it was clearly not good enough for Ye Xuan's red destiny.

Sure enough, my junior brother is still the best...

Damn it, Ye Xuan, go pick your old man!

I went to great lengths to recruit him, treating him so well, but he chose someone else, and all my efforts were in vain.

Okay, now everyone's unhappy, are you satisfied?

Damn, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Although Su Yu, who was sulking, looked extremely cute, Ji Ruqing was also very suspicious of her.

"What's wrong, Qingyi? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yu denied it. "It's nothing, I just thought of some things."

A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Ruqing's eyes, but she didn't think much of it. "In that case, let's go to the training ground."

Su Yu nodded; he no longer possessed any rare and precious treasures and had obtained what he wanted.

A fifth-grade pill plus a sixth-grade rare herb might be enough for him to break through to the Emperor Realm.

A seventh-grade array master's inheritance looks pretty good.

With Ji Ruqing by their side, the two arrived at Mu Qingyi's private training ground.

On the martial arts training ground.

Ji Ruqing took out a golden-patterned spirit sword. "Qingyi, unleash your full power and let me see your swordsmanship."

Su Yu nodded.

He knew that Ji Ruqing was already in the mid-stage of the Ascended Emperor Realm, and that he was no match for her, so it didn't matter if he used his full swordsmanship.

Immediately, the white crane was summoned, and the Azure Cloud Ethereal Sword Technique was unleashed.

Pure, ethereal, and unreal.

This was Ji Ruqing's first impression of Su Yu's sword intent.

His Azure Cloud Sword Intent surged, and he unleashed a sword technique to meet him head-on.

Two beams of light, one white and one blue, intertwined on the vast martial arts training ground.

The dazzling golden light shone on them.

Sword intent stirred up the wind and clouds, and countless sword techniques clashed.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, and the man was handsome and dashing; they were like a divine couple descended to earth.

Every time Ji Ruqing encountered this aloof, white-robed swordsman, she found it difficult to calm her emotions.

Half an hour later, it was clear that Su Yu's power was getting stronger and stronger.

"There's no need to be so serious, right?"

She didn't hold back with any of her sword strikes; the ferocity of her sword techniques was at least at the eighth-grade Saint level!

It seems that the Zhan Yue Sect values ​​her talent highly.

Perhaps they will meet in the four major tournaments soon...

Ji Ruqing narrowed her eyes slightly. Since she wanted to see the power of the Azure Cloud Sword Body, then so be it.

As her fiancé, he felt it was necessary to show her a strong side.

Wow!

The Azure Cloud Sword Intent soared into the sky, instantly increasing the pressure on Su Yu.

"Rivers are frozen solid!"

The Spirit Ice Breaking the Sky Sword was unleashed, and the ethereal sword energy condensed into ice, transforming into a glacier that crashed into the Azure Cloud Sword Intent.

A violent explosion rang out, and the glacier was destroyed in the vortex of azure sword energy.

The cyan sword energy pierced through the icy river and hurtled towards Su Yu.

"not good!"

This scene made Ji Ruqing's heart tighten; he seemed to be trying too hard to show off his strength.

The true Azure Cloud Sword Intent combined with the Ascended Emperor Realm is something Mu Qingyi simply cannot contend with.

The Azure Cloud Sword Intent flew towards Su Yu like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.

At a distance of no more than three feet from him, Su Yu used the Floating Light and Shadow technique, transforming into a phantom to evade.

However, one of the most prominent features of the Azure Cloud Sword Intent is its speed.

Su Yu was not completely free; his right arm was still pierced by a sword light as he dodged.

The white dress was torn, revealing smooth, delicate shoulders.

Blood flowed continuously from a deep, crimson sword wound.

"Qingyi!"

"Qingyi, are you alright?"

Ji Ruqing instantly appeared beside Su Yu, and upon seeing this scene, a trace of regret flashed through her heart.

He was careless; he didn't expect his sword energy to actually injure Mu Qingyi.

Fortunately, Qingyi reacted quickly, otherwise the injury would have been more than just to her right shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Qingyi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gone all out."

Su Yu said expressionlessly, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

"Come, let me heal your wounds."

"No need, I can do it myself."

Seeing that Ji Ruqing was about to make a move, Su Yu quickly stopped her.

A hint of anger flashed across Ji Ruqing's face. "I'll do it!"

“Your right shoulder is injured, and you can’t move your right hand at all. Let me help you.”

"Sit down properly!"
