Evil Emperor his wild consort (Regular Updates)

Picking Up A Little Monster 1

Outside the hall, a pale-faced Xia Zixi leaned against the doorway for support while he smiled weakly. His eyes swept across every face in the meeting hall, his voice was soft and gentle, like the quiet trickle from a stream of water.
"Xi'er!"
Master Xia fixed his gaze upon the man outside the hall and an excited smile appeared across his elderly face, "Xi'er, your body..."
"I'm alright now."
Hong!
Xia Zixi's words were like a violent commotion and pierced through the hearts of everyone in the room. A long time passed before they all regained their senses.
What did Young Master Xia say? Thought one of them.
His body is healed? Thought another.
One must understand that many doctors have issued Xia Zixi a death sentence and that even the Ghost Doctor found herself with her hands tied. Who could possibly be able to cure his disease?
Suddenly, everyone remembered Xia Qi's big revelation...
An eighteen to nineteen-year-old girl had actually been able to cure a disease that even the Ghost Doctor herself could not. Just where did she come from? The crowd thought in unison.
Xia Qi's face turned into a particularly ugly shade. He fixed his gaze onto Xia Zixi's gently smiling face as he clenched his fists and his eyes revealed a bone-deep hatred! Master Xia saw the hatred in his eyes when he turned to face him. Xia Qi had not been able to retract the sinister gaze in time and Master Xia's gaze sharpened.
At this moment, Xia Qi felt a great pressure next to him and a wave of nervousness swept up from deep within his heart. He quickly reverted to his usual expression, hanging a gentle smile on his handsome face.
"Big brother, congratulations on getting your health back."
Xia Qi smiled as he stepped forward and patted Xia Zixi's shoulder, "You've made us all very worried. It's a good thing that you're alright now, otherwise, the Xia Family would have plunged into chaos."
"Thank you for your concern, second brother."
Xia Zixi smiled and replied courteously, "Your big brother's life is much more secure than you think. I won't be dying anytime soon."
A hint of darkness flashed quickly through Xia Qi's gaze.
However, he cannot react blindly before the arrival of the Weapon Refining Sect.
"Haha!"
Master Xia laughed but upon noticing Master Hong, his eyes turned cold again, "Master Hong, is there anything else you'd like to add?" He asked coldly.
In that instant, the color on Master Hong's face changed from green to white. He took a deep breath and extinguished the raging flames in his heart.
"All will be as you command."
In a crucial turning point such as this, Xia Zixi is now cured! There wouldn't be so many issues if he had died instead.
As for the rest who stood on Master Hong's side, they all meaningfully moved their seats sideways upon realizing the sudden turn of events, as if the further they were from Master Hong, the better it was.
"Alright, since you have no other concerns, then you may return to make preparations. We will leave after one day."
The journey to Heaven Mountain would be rife with danger. Hence, Master Xia gave everyone a full day to make their preparations.
Hearing this, everything rose from their seats and took their leave respectively. No one paid any attention to Master Hong. They did not even bother to look at him...
...
Just as all the powerful families had returned to their respective homes to prepare themselves for the journey ahead, a group of people arrived outside the gates of Heaven City. The leader of the group was a pure and beautiful girl who held a saber in her right hand, accompanied by a rosy-cheeked little lord on her left. But the little lord had an unusually mature and serious air about him, his rosy cheeks did not have any of the childishness that most children his age would have.
"Go to the Xia Family and report... That the members of the Hundred Herb Hall have come for a visit." After a bit of thought, Moyu decided on using the name of the Hundred Herb Hall instead.
After all, not many people knew that the Devil Sect and the Hundred Herb Hall both belonged to the same person.

After the previous incident, the official guards did not dare to delay. They quickly issued a report to the Xia Family and soon sent a representative to lead the group into Heaven City.
Meanwhile, at the courtyard of the Xia Family home, Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing the new and chuckled, "Moyu and Bai Chuan are here? Just in time. I'm also very interested in the birth of this Divine Beast in Heaven Mountain."
Heaven Mountain has always been a dangerous area but it contained many treasures. If the Devil Sect could join in as well then they would be able to retrieve many rewards.
"Master."
Just as she was deep in thought, she heard a tender yet charming voice. Gu Ruoyun raised her head to find Moyu briskly leading a group people towards her.
Once she was in front of Gu Ruoyun, she held her saber with both hands and knelt down on one knee, "Your subordinate Moyu, greets her Master."
"Moyu, there you are."
Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly, then turned with astonishment to Bai Chuan, who was next to Moyu, "Bai Chuan, you're now a mid-level Martial Warrior?"
How long has it been? He had gone from a useless good-for-nothing to a mid-level Martial Warrior. Such skill would certainly surprise anyone on the mainland.
Bai Chuan blushed, "I... I know that I am not growing fast enough, but I will work hard. I won't let you down."
Obviously, Bai Chuan had assumed that Gu Ruoyun was not satisfied with the growth of his powers.
And it's no wonder. She had many powerful cultivators by her side, and he was only a Martial Warrior! In order to be worthy of her kindness in rescuing him a while back, he resolved to work hard in his cultivation.
"Bai Chuan, you're already very powerful. You have risen through the obstacles of the eight Qi Collection levels and reached the ranks of a Martial Warrior. From a person who has had no training, you've done it in such a short time, it's very impressive," Gu Ruoyun laughed. She definitely chose the right person as Bai Chuan was certainly very talented.
It was only a matter of time before his name would shake the entire mainland.
Bai Chuan's face grew even redder. He shyly lowered his head and fidgeted with the corners of his robe.
"Moyu, since you've arrived, don't leave just yet. Come with me on a mission," Gu Ruoyun raised her head to look at Moyu with a calm smile on her pretty face.
Moyu clutched her sword and replied respectfully, "Your wish is my command."
The day passed quickly.
The powerful families had finished their preparations and were heading for the Xia Family home. Prior to this, Gu Ruoyun had discussed with Master Xia to join the trial under the name of the Hundred Herb Hall. Because she was responsible for saving Xia Zixi's life, Master Xia (in gratitude) agreed to her request.
Furthermore, with her around, Yu'er safety would be ensured.
Meanwhile, outside the Xia Family home, people were whispering amongst themselves and stared curiously at Gu Ruoyun.
"Wasn't this young lady the one who hung around Little Master Xia? Could it be that she actually saved Xia Zixi's life?"
"What powerful family did this young woman come from? It would seem that she means to join the trials this time, too!"
"Hehe, surely you're joking? Have you seen her group? A fragile-looking woman and a ten-year-old boy? Including the rest of her weak-looking troops? No matter how you see it, they won't even be able to make it to Heaven Mountain. Just because she's skilled in medicine doesn't mean that she can go anywhere she wants. By the time she reaches Heaven Mountain, she'd probably be food for some random spiritual animal."
Two women, a child, and a few guards...
And they want to go to Heaven Mountain with powers like this? What else could this be, besides a joke? They have no ability to protect anyone.
