Reincarnation and Rebirth

Chapter 229 "Swindling and Deceiving"

Upon hearing this, Su Wan'er was completely petrified.

"So, you've been spending the last few days seducing women?"

"Pah, pah, pah, Master, please don't say such nasty things."

Su Wan'er shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin. "Be careful not to catch a disease."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's fur stood on end. "Master, I am very chaste and self-disciplined. Please don't talk nonsense."

It turns out that in the past few days, Xiao Bai had been seducing Jiao Jiao while also appearing in Mingyue Kingdom, posing as a charlatan and swindling a lot of benefits, all of which he then gave to Jiao Jiao.

When the people of Mingyue Kingdom learned that a deity who was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography and could predict the future had appeared in their country, the emperor of Mingyue Kingdom could not sit still and received Xiaobai with the highest honors.

The emperor sought out a fortune teller—what else could he possibly be asking about but the fate of the nation and destiny? Little Bai was quite thorough, explaining everything in detail and even using a bit of his magic to amaze them. Moreover, his predictions were incredibly accurate, finally convincing the Emperor Mingyue.

When asked about the fate of the Bright Moon Kingdom, Xiao Bai gave an answer that greatly pleased the Bright Moon Emperor.

"However..." This sudden gasp almost made the emperor tumble off his dragon throne.

"Just what?"

Xiaobai pretended to be serious.

The Emperor of Mingyue Kingdom gritted his teeth, but suppressed his anger, and asked, "Then, what if this person disappears?"

Xiao Bai gave him a cold look. "If it's not her, it will be someone else. Your Majesty had better not have such thoughts, otherwise, you may bring disaster upon yourself."

The Emperor of Mingyue Kingdom was now in a state of near collapse; he couldn't kill him, nor could he spare his life.

"Your Majesty, have you already sent someone to assassinate that person?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed the Emperor of Mingyue Kingdom's eyes. "If that's the case, what should we do?"

Xiao Bai sighed softly, shook her head, and made as if to leave.

"Immortal, please wait."

"I apologize for my incompetence, Your Majesty, may you have good fortune."

"No, no, no, please enlighten me, immortal! I've heard that during the war between the Purple Flame and Purple Cloud kingdoms, an immortal also offered guidance. Could it be you?"

Xiao Bai smiled without saying a word.

Emperor Mingyue persisted, saying, "I beg the immortals to help me and lend me a hand."

"If you want to ensure the Mingyue Kingdom lasts for thousands of generations, Your Majesty should have worked hard to govern the country, instead of engaging in bloodshed and killing, which would diminish your blessings."

Seeing that Emperor Mingyue still didn't understand, Xiaobai simply said, "I've said all I need to say."

After that, he was about to leave.

Emperor Mingyue was terrified and hurriedly cried out, "Immortal, please wait! I hope you can enlighten me!"

Xiao Bai sighed softly, "Alright, since we are destined to meet, I will give you a heads-up. Since Zi Yun Kingdom has a master protecting it, if the two countries can become friendly, even to the point of being as close as blood, I imagine the master will also protect Ming Yue Kingdom."

Emperor Mingyue's eyes lit up. Yes, if the two countries could form a marriage alliance and he could marry Ziyun's daughter, then even if he couldn't unify the world, he could still ensure that Mingyue became the leader of the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Someone, summon the Crown Prince to the palace."

Mei Lan is currently disguised as a female general, gathering information in the Ziyun Kingdom. The one in the palace is a fake Dongfang Daoming.

Hearing that the Emperor had summoned him, he turned pale with fright and was completely at a loss. He said to the person next to him, "What should we do? Why did the Emperor suddenly summon us? Where is the master?"

The palace maid, who was personally arranged by Mei Lan, calmly said, "What are you afraid of? You've seen the Emperor many times over the years, how can you still be so frightened?"

"Don't you know? I heard that old man is incredibly skilled. What if he figured out I'm not the real crown prince? It's not a big deal if I lose my head, but it would be a real problem if I ruined the master's plans."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid became a little worried. "You go see the Emperor first, I'll go find the Empress right away."

In any case, if something really happens to the Crown Prince, the Empress will also be implicated.

The moment Xiao Bai saw the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom, she knew that this person was not the Crown Prince of Mingyue.

First, he is a real man; second, he is not surrounded by dragon energy and is not the chosen one.

He looked meaningfully at the fake crown prince, until the guard felt a chill run down his spine and stiffly knelt down to pay his respects to the emperor.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Your Highness, this is a highly accomplished master who is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography."

The fake prince forced himself to bow to Xiaobai.

"Hmm, the Crown Prince seems a little afraid of me?"

The fake prince lowered his head and said, "You are an immortal, and I am but a mortal. I naturally feel awe, not fear."

"Hmm. Your Majesty, since you have family matters to discuss, I will take my leave now."

Xiao Bai couldn't be bothered with a fake prince.

The master is really something. If he wanted to expose the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom's female identity, he could have just stripped naked. Why did he have to make such a fuss?

After hearing Xiaobai's report, Su Wan'er gritted her teeth in anger. She had indeed considered having Mei Lan come to Ziyun Kingdom for a marriage alliance, but she had no intention of selling herself off.

Little White received its master's piercing gaze and hurriedly explained, "Master, weren't you just about to refuse that arranged marriage? If you do that, they'll definitely fight over you, wouldn't that be better?"

"For me? To wage war? And then the people will suffer? Little Bai, where has all your cultivation gone?"

Little White was taken aback and said weakly, "Master, Little White was wrong."

"Alright, alright, let me think about how to achieve this without the enemy having a chance to strike."

"How's Jiaojiao doing?"

Xiao Bai trembled again. "With me here, what can't be done? I've already found out that her superior is General Fu."

"Have you found Fu Liheng's whereabouts?"

Little White said mysteriously, "Master, he's not in Bright Moon Kingdom right now."

Su Wan'er raised an eyebrow. "Could he be in the Purple Cloud Kingdom? Zi Xingchen has already ordered a nationwide manhunt. Who would have the audacity to harbor him?"

"you guess."

"No guessing."

"How boring, he's at the Minister's residence now."

"You mean that Minister of War? The one from Consort Hui's family?"

Seeing Xiaobai nod, Su Wan'er smiled and said, "Then it seems that the female general of Mingyue Kingdom must also have some connection with Minister Xiang."

Before Xiaobai could react, Su Wan'er vanished on the spot. There was a tough battle ahead, and she needed to intensify her cultivation.

The news that Zi Xingchen wanted to make Su Wan'er his empress spread quickly. It was already late at night, but the old Su family house was still brightly lit. A large group of people were sitting in the house, including not only members of the old Su family, but also Su Cuihua's family and Su Hehua's family. They all had greedy and jealous expressions on their faces.

Xiang nudged Su Youcai with his elbow.

Su Youcai coughed lightly and said to Old Madam Su, "Mother, Su Wan'er is a member of our Su family after all. We can't let outsiders laugh at her, can we? She must marry into our Su family."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen angrily retorted, "Second brother, what are you saying? You're going to provide the dowry?"

When Grandma Su heard this, she was not happy at all. Their shop had not been doing well lately, so where would they get spare money?

Su Cuihua rolled her eyes and said, "The Emperor's wedding is definitely handled by the palace, unlike our ordinary family."

"Yes, what my older sister said makes sense."

Naturally, Madam Chen did not want Su Youlu's family to return. Her daughter was now a Noble Consort and her son was a General, so she could be considered the absolute ruler of the Su family. But if that vixen Madam Wang came, as the Empress's mother, she would definitely suppress her. How could that be allowed?

Similarly, Su Youlu shared the same idea.

The family argued fiercely to prevent Su Youlu's family from returning, completely disregarding the fact that it was merely wishful thinking on their part, and whether the family even wanted to come back.
