My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

The night was silent, and moonlight draped the surroundings like thin gauze.

The little Daoist went to sleep in his clothes on the bed.

At the table, Gu Lan first found a container, ground one Nine Revolving Fire Spirit Pill into liquid, and soaked the Phoenix Egg from the space inside.

As soon as the liquid touched the Phoenix Egg, intricate and exquisite patterns on the egg lit up faintly. One could vaguely feel the rapid absorption of the fire elemental energy in the liquid.

It seemed like it would take some time...

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Lan took out another Nine Revolving Fire Spirit Pill and directly consumed it.

In the next moment, pure and violent energy surged into every part of his body!

Boom! Boom!!

The body's Saint Physique was being transformed and optimized by this energy, and Gu Lan was breaking through his shackles in the midst of this rampage. Continue reading on empire

"If it weren't for the Marvelous Yang Immortal Body, I'm afraid my body would burst and perish right now."

Gu Lan murmured to himself, grateful that his physique had undergone significant improvement in the previous period. Otherwise, even with the previous Marvelous Yang Immortal Body, he would likely have been extremely uncomfortable at this moment, far from the calm and ease he was experiencing now.

After a stick of incense, the internal heat gradually dissipated.

In its place was an unprecedented refreshing feeling!

Gu Lan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Phoenix Egg.

However, the eggshell did not crack, and there was not the slightest change. It was just that the liquid was empty, absorbed completely.

Damn! Mythical Creatures are really rip-offs; can't even satisfy you with a Saint-grade pill?

Gu Lan shook his head speechlessly and angrily patted it with his hand.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind!

"Master, don't hit me, it hurts!"

Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, but still not sure. So, he slowly raised his hand and fiercely slapped the Phoenix Egg again!

Slap, slap, slap!

"Woo woo, Master, why are you hitting me continuously?"

The voice of grievance came again.

This confirmed it. It was indeed the Phoenix inside awakening with a bit of consciousness!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It's nothing. I'm just playing around because I'm happy," Gu Lan lightly laughed, comforting it. "How much longer until you hatch?"

"Forty-nine days."

The Phoenix answered honestly.

Gu Lan: "…"

Is this a joke? You remember the date so precisely, and you're so straightforward. Are you sure you don't just not want to come out right now?

"What conditions can speed up the process?" Gu Lan asked with a frown.

"As for that, Master, there are none. It's a characteristic of our Phoenix Clan."

The Phoenix Heavenly Fire brews within the egg for forty-nine days, allowing the little Phoenix to possess extraordinary cultivation when it just hatches.

"Alright, then take your time hatching," Gu Lan said. After finishing speaking, he swept his hand, no longer wasting words with the little Phoenix, and threw it into the system space.

Forty-nine days... counting the days.

It should come out around the time of the upcoming New Year this year.

...

In the east, the fish turned white, and the first light of dawn appeared.

Gu Lan and his group continued their journey to the capital in the refreshing morning breeze.

On the way, Lin Tan'er occasionally glanced at Zhongren, unable to resist asking, "Young Master, where did this little Daoist come from?"

Gu Lan casually replied, "Picked him up last night. Bring him along from now on."

"Oh, he looks cute," Lin Tan'er said with a smile.

Zhongren, who had been staring somewhat absent-mindedly, noticed Lin Tan'er and instantly perked up. The Heavenly Maiden of Fate, golden Destiny! Since childhood, Zhongren knew that he needed someone with a great Destiny to help shield him from the heavenly condemnation on his body. A sense of familiarity surged in his eyes when he saw Lin Tan'er.

He eagerly approached, tilting his face upward and complimenting, "Sister, you're very pretty too!"

Lin Tan'er was momentarily stunned but smiled with joy, "Your mouth is really sweet."

Gu Lan chuckled.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly reserved little Daoist became quite lively upon encountering the golden Destiny of The Heavenly Maiden of Fate.

It could be related to the fact that his mental state improved after gaining the protection of a great Destiny.

"I'm not lying to you. I've only seen two others as beautiful as Sister here... but you look much better than the last one!" the young Daoist added.

The term "better" here left everyone puzzled. However, Zhongren clarified, "One day, while sleeping on the mountain, I was caught by that Sister, and she scolded me fiercely. She looked quite fierce... so you're much better, Sister!"

Gu Lan silently pondered in his heart but couldn't recall such a character in Tianji Pavilion.

At this moment, Zhongren looked at Gu Lan and asked Lin Tan'er, "Sister is so beautiful; is she Brother Gu's wife?"

"I'm not..." Lin Tan'er blushed, explaining in a low voice, "I'm just a maid. Madam isn't on this journey, but if you follow Young Master, you'll see Madam in less than half a month."

"Madam is much more beautiful than me!" Lin Tan'er wasn't lying. In terms of appearance, both had their unique charms, but in other aspects, Mu Yuyan, who was raised by Gu Lan, was undoubtedly superior!

"Oh!" Zhongren understood, nodding, "I see!"

With this little Daoist, the journey of the group became more lively, and unconsciously, they had covered nearly half of the distance. By tomorrow evening at the latest, they would reach the capital.

...

The capital, Dulcet Pavilion!

On the third floor, in front of a fragrant pavilion door.

"Mom, as usual, don't entertain guests this month. Don't let anyone disturb me," a charming and beautiful courtesan said as she closed the door.

"Alright, you can rest assured, there won't be anyone to bother you!" The madam looked at her with joy and then turned to go downstairs.

In an ordinary brothel, such a scene of a money-making tree not making money would be considered strange. But in Dulcet Pavilion, no one found it strange.

The courtesan, Xiao Fei'er, was known as the number one beauty in the capital. Since joining Dulcet Pavilion, she had never served any guests.

Even when she appeared, it was only on grand occasions, playing a piece of music on the qin and leaving the young lords in the capital with endless imagination.

The madam never dared to be the least bit difficult.

Firstly, even if she didn't serve guests, those who came to deliver messages to Xiao Fei'er would still have to pay a hundred taels of gold, enough to buy a house in the capital.

Secondly, it was said that Xiao Fei'er's background was unfathomable. Some even heard that Dulcet Pavilion was established because of Xiao Fei'er's existence.

Half a year ago, a nobleman's master, after drinking too much, broke into the third floor, arrived at Xiao Fei'er's boudoir...

The next day, their entire family went to the market.

The shocking news spread far and wide!

Knowing that this courtesan was not just for show, no one dared to act recklessly in front of her.

...

At this moment, Xiao Fei'er came to the table, took a sip of clear tea, and just as she put down the cup, knocking on the door was heard.

Xiao Fei'er frowned in displeasure, "Didn't I say not to let anyone come?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the person outside the door directly pushed it open.

"Little Fei'er, I've been following His Majesty outside. You're really living a good life here!" A narrow voice sounded, making Xiao Fei'er's expression freeze.

"Sister Xi?" Xiao Fei'er looked at the visitor in surprise. Wearing a green outfit, with a well-proportioned figure, it was none other than Liu Yexi, who had quietly come up to the third floor.

"Sister Liu is following His Majesty to do big things, and you all didn't take me with you!"

She pretended to be aggrieved, her big watery eyes fixed on Liu Yexi, showing a pitiful look.

Liu Yexi sat across from her, poured herself a cup of tea, scolded, "Pah! Don't! If those men outside see you like this, they'll want to kill me."

"Clearly, we're both close attendants. Back then, His Majesty let you stay in Dulcet Pavilion. It's definitely favoritism!"
