"Isn't that old boner supposed to be the number one defensive soul master on the continent? I'd like to see if he can withstand my current poison."
Mu Ci looked at the furious Dugu Bo with a helpless expression.
"Grandpa Dugu, if you do it this way, won't the others be even more curious about the secret?"
"It's better to guide than to suppress. Just like with spirit rings and whale glue, if we publicize it, people won't be curious anymore."
Dugu Bo was no longer angry, and he and Dugu Yan looked at Mu Ci together.
"Then what do we do?"
Mu Ci did not explain in detail to them.
"I'll discuss this with His Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow. Ning Fengzhi is his teacher, and we'll need his help with the specific procedures later on."
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Yan's worried expression and touched her pretty face.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. With me here, nothing will go wrong."
Chapter 65 Meeting Emperor Xueye
The next day, at the Tiandou Imperial Palace.
A luxurious royal carriage carried Xue Qinghe and Mu Ci at high speed along the palace road.
"Brother Xue, do you think Xue Ye can accept what we discussed before?"
Xue Qinghe replied to Mu Ci without much thought:
"Of course, no problem. Except for the matter of the fiefdom, which you need to discuss with Xueye, I'll take care of everything else for you."
"But, little brother, are your pills really that miraculous? I've done so much for you, shouldn't you show me some appreciation?"
Mu Ci smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course I won't let Brother Xue help for nothing, but Brother Xue should still have some expectations."
"Pills are not a panacea. In terms of martial soul evolution, the lower the bloodline level of the martial soul, the greater the benefits."
"For someone like you, Brother Xue, I can only help you slightly increase your soul power and fire attribute."
Xue Qinghe nodded; he didn't really care much about things like martial soul evolution.
After all, six-winged angels are already the pinnacle of humanity, and there are very few who can compare with them.
He was just a little resentful because everyone else had it but he didn't, which made him feel awkward, so he said those words.
As the two were chatting, the carriage stopped in front of a palace gate.
The moment the two stepped out of the carriage, a eunuch came forward and bowed.
"Your Highness, Young Master Mu Ci, His Majesty is already waiting for you two in the palace. Please follow me."
Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded to the eunuch, then reached out to invite Mu Ci beside him.
"Please lead the way, sir. Young Master Mu Ci, please!"
Mu Ci followed behind him through the winding corridors, finally arriving at a grand hall.
Looking up, Mu Ci saw Emperor Xue Ye sitting in the main seat.
Dressed in luxurious royal attire and wearing a crown symbolizing imperial power, this outfit could have fully showcased the majesty and imposing presence of a great emperor.
But now, with his ashen face and cloudy pupils, Emperor Xueye looked like a terminally ill old man, lacking any of the demeanor expected of an emperor.
"Greetings, Father Emperor!" "Greetings, Great Emperor!"
Xue Qinghe and Mu Ci approached Emperor Xue Ye and bowed respectfully.
"Ahem, no need for formalities, please have a seat."
Emperor Xueye, seated on the throne, saw the two men bowing and quickly waved for them to stop.
During this process, he coughed violently a few times, which startled the eunuchs and maids serving him, who rushed over to soothe his back.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ci looked at Xue Qinghe with a puzzled expression.
Didn't you say Xueye's illness wasn't that serious? What happened? Did you poison him again?
Xue Qinghe caught a glimpse of Mu Ci's expression out of the corner of his eye and quickly shook his head slightly to indicate that he did not know.
After waiting for a while, Emperor Xueye gradually recovered with the help of palace maids, and then looked at Mu Ci and asked:
"I wonder if His Majesty Changsheng is still in Tiandou City?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my grandfather returned to the academy after the exchange meeting. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye remained unmoved, which was within his expectations.
The royal family currently has no titled Douluo-level retainers, so they have to extend invitations to these titled Douluos who are temporarily without a home and inquire about their wishes.
Currently, the only publicly known Title Douluo in Heaven Dou City, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, is only on the side of the royal family because he owes Prince Xuexing a favor, and favors are something that are used up and then gone.
Therefore, even knowing that the Changsheng Douluo family had connections with the Spirit Hall, they still had to ask about it as a matter of routine.
Still somewhat unwilling to give up, Xueye asked Muci again.
"Is Young Master Namu Ci currently married? My daughter Xue Ke is about the same age as you. If you don't mind, I can grant you marriage right now."
Upon hearing this, not only did Mu Ci's face show some helplessness, but even Xue Qinghe's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to accept this marriage. I am already engaged to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from Tianshui Academy, and I am also in a relationship with Huo Wu from Chihuo Academy."
"Your Majesty, please find another suitable husband for the princess!"
Mu Ci looked at Emperor Xue Ye and politely declined.
"A beauty deserves a hero. If Young Master Mu Ci can attract so many beauties, then adding my daughter to the list is nothing."
Mu Ci quickly interrupted Emperor Xue Ye from continuing his speech.
Although I have never met Princess Xue Ke, I can tell from the description in the original work that she is definitely a stunning beauty who is no less beautiful than Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
But Mu Ci simply couldn't accept her, after all, if what she did succeeded, she would become someone else's father's killer.
Although there are ways to keep Xue Ke from finding out, Mu Ci's conscience still finds it hard to accept.
"Your Majesty, I was invited by His Highness the Crown Prince to treat your illness. Let's take care of business first."
Seeing that Mu Ci's refusal was very firm, Emperor Xueye did not say anything more about it.
"Then I would be grateful if Young Master Mu Ci could take a look at my work."
Mu Ci did not get up, but her martial spirit and spirit rings had already manifested on her body.
The first and second spirit rings lit up, and a golden ear of wheat radiating emerald light appeared in his hand.
Mu Ci, holding the golden tassel, swept it towards Emperor Xue Ye.
The golden-green radiance, carrying unparalleled vitality and purifying power, struck Emperor Xueye's flawed body.
"what!"
Feeling the effects of Mu Ci's soul skill, Emperor Xue Ye felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, with endless warmth nourishing every part of his body.
As the soul skill took effect, wisps of gray mist, barely visible to the naked eye, continuously emanated from Emperor Xueye's body.
The Poison of the Broken Clan is indeed powerful, and very few people can cure it. However, in the face of the Power of Abundance, these are nothing but child's play and not worth mentioning.
As time slowly flows by.
When Emperor Xueye's complexion returned to its rosy hue and his body was free of any major problems except for a slight deficiency, Mu Ci withdrew his soul skill.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling now?"
Feeling his body recover, Emperor Xueye immediately got off his seat and quickly walked around the palace.
"Okay, okay!"
Emperor Xueye, his face flushed, sat down again and repeatedly said "good" to Mu Ci.
"Although Your Majesty has recovered your health thanks to my soul skill, you are still recovering from a serious illness. Please take good care of your health and take some nourishing medicine."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye nodded in agreement, then, remembering the rumors about Mu Ci among the common people, he quickly asked.
"Does Young Master Mu Ci have any recommendations?"
Mu Ci was waiting for the other party's question.
"I have already prepared a elixir for Your Majesty when I came. It can replenish your vital energy and allow Your Majesty to regain the state of youth and vigor."
As she spoke, Mu Ci took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage soul tool and handed it to the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid presented the porcelain bottle, and Emperor Xueye immediately opened it without hesitation.
A crimson pill was poured from the bottle and rolled onto Emperor Xueye's wrinkled hand.
Upon seeing this, the old eunuch standing nearby quickly spoke up to stop it.
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Xueye certainly understood what the eunuch meant.
As emperor, everything he consumed had to be tested by a designated person before it was allowed to enter his body.
However, at this moment, Emperor Xueye, whether to show his trust in Mu Ci or for some other reason, waved his hand dismissively at the eunuch.
"It's alright, I trust Young Master Mu Ci."
As he spoke, he slapped the crimson pill in his hand into his mouth.
Chapter 66 Reward
The elixir enters the abdomen.
At first, Emperor Xueye did not perceive any effect.
But as the pill was rapidly digested, Emperor Xueye felt as if a small sun radiating energy had appeared in his abdomen.
The subtle medicinal power began to stimulate the life force within Emperor Xueye's body, revitalizing his aged body and bringing him back to his peak condition in his twenties.
Under the influence of the elixir, Emperor Xueye finally experienced the feeling of his youth again.
He was intoxicated by the feeling of being clear-headed and full of energy.
"How is Your Majesty feeling?"
