Jun Moli, who was just about to have his meal, heard from his subordinates that Gu Lingxi had arrived! A meaningful smile crept onto his lips! Who knows what that naughty girl is cursing him for in her heart! Heh!

What? Didn't Xi'er already get the contract? Why are you coming to see me again? Do you miss me?

Forcibly suppressing her anger, Gu Lingxi forced a smile and said ingratiatingly, "Your Highness is joking. I've come today to discuss the transfer of ownership of this jade mine!"

No rush, come on, sit down and finish your meal before we talk business!

Here we go again! Gu Lingxi frowned!

Your Highness, these are all Miss Gongsun's kind gesture towards you, so I won't eat them! Please enjoy them, Your Highness!

Jun Moli knew she had misunderstood. What? Is Xi'er jealous? Does she not want this king to eat things sent by other women?

Hmph! Jealous my foot! Whether you eat it or not is none of my business! I was furious inside, but I couldn't afford to offend this guy!

Hehe! Your Highness, you're overthinking it! Why would I be jealous? You can eat whoever's food you want!

Hehe, Xi'er is being very naughty! I'll give you one more chance. Speak your mind! I'll go with you right away! Otherwise, you won't have another chance!

Damn, this guy really deserves a beating!

Hehe! Your Highness, I really don't want you to eat the food that Gongsun Ruier sent, it's disgusting! Now Your Highness should be satisfied, right?

Hehe! You naughty girl, I don't believe I can't handle you!

So, Xi'er, are you admitting that you're jealous?

Haha! Whatever Your Highness thinks is fine!

Okay, let's sit down and have a meal together. Zhang Shilang will be here soon! Don't worry, the food was prepared in the kitchen!

Gu Lingxi... Wow, door-to-door service, it's so good to have power and influence!

Zhang Shilang, carrying documents and the official seal of the Ministry of Revenue, rushed to the Prince Li's residence with trepidation, fearing that the prince might take his dissatisfaction out on him!

Before they had even finished their meal, Zhang Shilang had already completed the property transfer! Gu Lingxi… that speed! If only she hadn't gotten up so early this morning to rush off to the Ministry of Revenue!

That's all settled. Was the prince just playing a trick on me by asking me to tell the truth and saying he'd come with me?

How could that be! I will definitely accompany you when you go to Lin'an!

What? So you meant you wanted to come with me to Lin'an City!

How about that? Touched, aren't you!

What a load of rubbish! I'll go by myself when I grow legs!

Hehe! That would be too much trouble! No need to trouble Your Highness! You are a distinguished person with many affairs to attend to; please go and do your own thing!

No trouble at all, I was just passing by! Sporadic outbreaks have been discovered in Lin'an City! My father has ordered me to go there!

It's settled then. We'll set off the day after tomorrow after the Muling Festival!

Seeing that this guy was too resolute and didn't allow for any argument, Gu Lingxi didn't bother arguing with him anymore! At worst, she could just run away and shake him off halfway! Hehe!

Inside the Imperial Capital Post Station!

Meng Qianqian complained to Jing Yiran again: "Senior brother, really, I don't know what the elders are thinking. Our spiritual veins and spirit stones are almost depleted, why do we still waste some every year for these mortals! Is a vague ancestral precept worth all this trouble?"

Hmph! Why don't we use the spirit stones here to enhance our own strength? Anyway, the elders don't know, and those mortals are even less likely to understand!

Jing Yiran really didn't want to talk to Meng Qianqian! But hearing her say such things, he simply couldn't stand it anymore!

No, regardless of whether the ancestral precepts are true or not! We must abide by them! For hundreds of years, the mission of every generation of holy sons and daughters has been this: to use the holy water flowing from the spiritual veins in conjunction with the celestial compass to find the one who can save the fate of my entire Dreamfall Valley clan!

Passed down from generation to generation! How could we possibly cheat on this? If we were to miss our destined one, wouldn't we become the eternal sinners of the entire valley?

Hmph! I'll just listen to my senior brother! A bunch of lowly mortals! This saintess really can't be bothered to serve them! Tomorrow we're leaving from the palace, and I have to sprinkle holy water on the float all day! It's exhausting! Why should a saintess like me have to do this! Just thinking about it makes me unhappy!

Jing Yiran frowned in disgust! Why would the Meng family choose someone like this as their saintess? The thought of marrying such a woman filled Jing Yiran with sullenness, making her feel as if her life was shrouded in darkness!

I've heard that in previous generations of Holy Maidens, this mission took three days and three nights, during which they would bathe and cuddle with everyone they encountered! They couldn't stop along the way! This is merely a temporary measure due to the depletion of spiritual veins! It's already incredibly easy!

If you feel tired, junior sister, and this task is not good enough for you, then Yi Ran can have the elders select a new Holy Maiden! I believe Yi Ran's words still carry some weight in the Elders' Hall!

Senior Brother Yiran, please don't! I'll be good, okay? Please don't tell the elders! Otherwise, my mother will skin me alive when we get back! Besides, I'm going to marry Senior Brother Yiran in the future, and I can only do so by becoming a Holy Maiden!

Then let's cultivate! Let's accumulate more spiritual energy today, otherwise we'll waste even more spirit stones tomorrow. We brought fewer spirit stones this time than last time!

"Okay! I understand!" Meng Qianqian reluctantly went to the inner room to cultivate.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, the streets were already packed with people! Everyone craned their necks hopefully, waiting to see when the carriage of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter would arrive!

Those who have participated in the Mu Ling Festival before firmly believe that this is a blessing bestowed upon them by the gods! Some people, even when they have serious or minor illnesses, are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, and they all wait for this Mu Ling Festival to bathe in divine blessings so that all their ailments will be cured!

At the East Gate of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Lin Yuan, accompanied by his officials and concubines, was burning incense and offering prayers!

Gods of the four directions, wise men of the eight directions; I now proclaim to Heaven, that it shines upon the earth below; that it gathers the spirits of the land, and bestows divine blessings; that all things and all living beings may find their proper place, without end. We worship the blessings of Heaven! This humble land, receiving the divine favor of Heaven; may it send forth sweet winds and rains, so that all plants and grains may flourish, and all may live in peace and tranquility. We revere the spirits of the Supreme God!

After the speech, everyone except the emperor knelt on the ground and waited for the holy maiden and holy son of Dreamfall Valley to bestow blessings upon them!

Meng Qianqian looked at the kneeling crowd with disdain. "Hmph, so what if they're royalty? They still have to kneel to greet me!" Seeing the fawning attitude of the emperors from various countries, Meng Qianqian became even more arrogant and domineering!

After the emperor was given the sacred spring water for internal use, the float departed from the palace gates and headed to the market!

Emperor Lin Yuan drank the precious holy water in the cup with excitement and trembling. This was something that could prolong life, something that any emperor would dream of!

It's a pity that it only comes to their Eastern Yu Kingdom every four years! Halfway through drinking, he suddenly remembered the request of the Northern You Crown Prince: to exchange half of the holy water for a city! Emperor Lin Yuan reluctantly poured the remaining holy water from the cup into a small porcelain bottle and handed it to the Northern You Crown Prince!
