The day of Chinese Valentine's Day was getting closer and closer, and the entire Da Qi seemed to be dyed with a layer of pink.
Although the atmosphere was much more open compared to the previous dynasty, unmarried women could also go out to play, and even when they met foreign men, no one would say anything. However, these were mostly happening at large gatherings.
At that time, there were many people, so naturally, no one would gossip.
However, unmarried couples who loved each other and wanted to meet up alone were extremely cautious. Privately giving and receiving things were still despised by people today, and if they did anything out of line before marriage, they would be ridiculed by the world.
The only exception was festivals like the Festival of Begging for Clever Skills.
On this day, they could travel together, admire lanterns, light river lanterns, and make a vow to spend the rest of their lives together.
Even the most old-fashioned pedants would turn a blind eye to this.
After all, who hadn't been at the age of young Mu Ai?
On the day of Qixi, the imperial court was on holiday, so Bai Musheng didn't need to attend court.
In the garden, Bai Musheng got up early to practice his swordsmanship as usual.
Even though he didn't need to attend court, he still insisted on his daily routine.
Around the garden, eunuchs and palace maids were waiting.
In the beginning, they were still relatively close to Tian Zi, but as time went on, Tian Zi seemed to be improving every day. His martial arts also became more and more powerful. Every time he swung his sword, the sword wind became more and more fierce.
In the end, these eunuchs and palace maids had no choice but to retreat.
Bai Musheng moved faster and faster. Every time he took a step, he would appear ten feet away in the next moment.
Clang!
As the sword stabbed out, Bai Musheng suddenly felt something strange about the longsword in his hand.
The next moment, a crisp sound came from the sword and it shattered into pieces.
"Huh?!"”
Did he break this sword?
Ai Ning, who was waiting at the side, saw this and quickly said,"Your Majesty is so brave. I'm afraid that ordinary weapons can't withstand Your Majesty's dragon might.”
He was truly impressed. These days, he had personally seen Tian Zi getting stronger and stronger.
And it was precisely this kind of emperor that the empress would occasionally come to spar with him, and they would actually be evenly matched.
Amidst the cheers from the crowd, Bai Muchuan lowered his head and looked at the broken sword on the ground.
There was naturally no problem with the sword.
Bai Musheng felt that something was different.
Today's sword practice was no longer like the past. Compared to yesterday, it was purely stronger, faster, and more agile.
Instead, there was something deeper that was about to transform.
(What is it…?）
On the other side.
Inside the Phoenix Palace.
After Bai Musheng left to practice his swordsmanship, Zhu Menghuang, who had finished washing up, had breakfast served. While waiting for breakfast, she walked around the Phoenix Palace.
In the beginning, Lian Qiao and the others followed them, but later on, Zhu Menghuang waved Lian Qiao away and stood alone among the flowers.
She squatted down and gently brushed her white fingertips against the flowers.
A golden light flashed in his eyes, and the silver moon between his eyebrows faintly appeared.
The Du Ying flower on his fingertip, which was originally a flower bud, actually bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It bloomed and withered a moment later.
Standing up, Zhu Menghuang smiled.
[After cultivating for so long, I've finally recovered some of my divine powers.】
Zhu Menghuang raised her head and looked at the birds that were jumping around in the treetops. She waved her hand gently.
The bird seemed to have understood what she meant. It flapped its wings and landed on Zhu Menghuang's fingertips. It tilted its head and curiously looked at the beautiful woman in the palace dress in front of it.
[Nine Phoenixes are reborn. The phoenix is the king of all birds and commands all living beings in the world…] With a thought
, many birds flew over from the garden. These birds landed around Zhu Menghuang and surrounded her as if they were worshipping her.
Feeling the heat rising from her lower abdomen, Zhu Menghuang knew that her first Nirvana was about to arrive.
Once he succeeded in the first stage of Nirvana, he would have achieved a small success in his Origin Power. At that time, he would be able to open the space of his soul imprint.
However…
[The Nirvana stage is very noisy. I can't stay in the palace. I have to think of a way to get out of the palace. How am I going to explain it to the young paparazzo
…]】
[No, I can't hide anything from Mother in the residence. If I leave the palace with the excuse of going back to my mother's house, Gou 'zi will definitely know.】
[Headache…
Why don't we sneak out?]】
Zhu Menghuang believed that with her current strength, although the Great Ming Palace's walls were high, it would not be difficult for her to climb over the walls if she wanted to.
He would sneak out of the palace at night and return after he succeeded in Nirvana.
The more Zhu Menghuang thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible.
It was to avoid being discovered by the young paparazzo.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a palace servant report that the emperor had come.
Zhu Menghuang waved her hand, and the birds on her body dispersed. The next moment, she saw Bai Mucheng walking toward her with his back facing.
Behind her was the rising sun. Zhu Menghuang looked at Bai Musheng and could vaguely sense a faint connection between the two of them.
As Bai Musheng got closer, this connection became clearer and closer. When Bai Musheng arrived before Zhu Menghuang, her breathing quickened.
"Husband…"
She couldn't help but throw herself into Bai Musheng's arms. Zhu Menghuang greedily breathed in his scent.
"Huang 'er, I practiced my sword today. That sword couldn't withstand my strength and shattered on the spot.”
Bai Musheng held onto Zhu Menghuang as the two of them slowly returned to the Phoenix Palace. On the way, he casually mentioned something to her.
He was secretly observing Zhu Menghuang's expression and saw a flash of shock in her eyes.
[Even the sword is broken?]
[How strong is this?]
[Is the young paparazzo here to show off?】
"Husband is getting more and more powerful.”
Zhu Menghuang said softly, her eyes sparkling and smiling.
"In the future, I'll have to use even more refined divine weapons.”
Bai Musheng chuckled.
"Speaking of which, Huang 'er has improved a lot recently. When will you spar with me?”
Zhu Menghuang couldn't help but blush when she heard Bai Musheng mention sparring.
She snorted and rolled her eyes at Bai Musheng.
Instead of saying that the two of them were fighting each other, it would be better to say that she was the one who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
However, she could not control her movements at all. She was like a swallow returning to its nest.
[Dog, why don't you just tell me to take the initiative to give you tofu to eat…
]】
[But…hmph, this Holy Maiden is about to go through the first stage of Nirvana. I don't believe that you can still win after Nirvana.】
[Hehe, I'll give you a big surprise!】
Bai Musheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhu Menghuang's muttering in her heart.
The first stage…Nirvana?
He thought of his unusual behavior this morning and fell into deep thought.
