121: Practice? Only a fool wouldn't practice.
"Um, Imperial Brother, didn't you call me here to discuss the Alliance?"
"Let's talk about that instead," Duan Zhengchun said, changing the subject.
"Don't change the subject. Do you agree to this or not?" the Emperor said seriously.
"Imperial Brother, you're making things difficult for me. Besides, I already said that once I Breakthrough to the Land Immortal Realm, I can help you reshape your Meridians."
"There's really no need for this," Duan Zhengchun said helplessly.
"Land Immortal? Not just anyone can Breakthrough to that."
"I believe you have the potential, but it's not something that can be achieved overnight."
"Even the Old Ancestor back then couldn't Breakthrough to the Land Immortal Realm. You can afford to wait, but can I?"
"Now the entire court is starting to have opinions, so, Brother Chun, please agree. Your Imperial Sister-in-Law will also be grateful to you," the Emperor said.
"Let's talk about the Alliance contract instead," Duan Zhengchun said with a bit of a headache.
Even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
Besides, how could one mess around with such things?
"Since you've said it, we'll do as you say and just sign this contract."
"However, if the Mongol Yuan Dynasty really uses this as an excuse, can you really solve it?" the Emperor said, frowning.
"Of course, Imperial Brother, you can rest easy. As long as I'm here, the Duan Family won't fall," Duan Zhengchun said.
"With those words, I'm relieved."
"I didn't expect that my Duan Family would also produce a Dragon," the Emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, Imperial Brother, I have a Cultivation Technique here. If you Cultivate it, perhaps you can repair your damaged Meridians yourself without my help," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Oh? What Cultivation Technique?" the Emperor asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nine Yin Manual."
"What? The Nine Yin Manual? The top-tier ultimate skill of the Song Dynasty Martial Arts World, the Nine Yin Manual?" the Emperor asked in surprise.
"That's right, that's the Nine Yin Manual," Duan Zhengchun nodded.
"Where did you get it? You didn't steal it, did you?" the Emperor said, frowning.
"Imperial Brother, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person?"
"The source is definitely fine. So, are you going to practice it or not?" Duan Zhengchun said.
"I'll practice it. Only a fool wouldn't," the Emperor said directly.
Immediately, Duan Zhengchun took out brush and ink and wrote down the Nine Yin Manual.
"Imperial Brother, this Cultivation Technique can only be Cultivated by core members of the Duan Clan, and it can also be passed down as a Legacy technique," Duan Zhengchun said.
This Cultivation Technique is a top-tier one even in the entire Nine Provinces.
Of course, aside from Dog Brother's Taixuan Scripture, the Nine Yin Manual can definitely be considered a top-tier Cultivation Technique.
"We'll talk about that later. Since it's settled, there's nothing left for you to do here. Go back quickly. You've been away for a while and haven't reunited with your wife for a long time. Hurry back," the Emperor said.
"Wait, Imperial Brother, you're chasing me away just like that? Aren't you going to keep me for a meal?" Duan Zhengchun said dissatisfiedly.
"Eat what? Go back and eat with your Princess. There's no food for you here," the Emperor said directly.
"Fine, you Old Schemer, I'll leave, alright?" Duan Zhengchun curled his lip and turned to leave.
After Duan Zhengchun left the palace, the Emperor immediately picked up the Nine Yin Manual and began to Cultivate.
Returning to the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Min and the others had also returned. As soon as he entered, Duan Zhengchun felt a lively atmosphere.
"Princess, the Prince has returned."
"Ignore him... we sisters still have to chat," Dao Baifeng said crossly.
Little Red was speechless, but there was nothing she could do.
She could only go out with an embarrassed look to greet Duan Zhengchun.
Duan Zhengchun naturally heard Dao Baifeng's reply.
"If Phoenix is so unwelcome to my return, then I'll just leave," Duan Zhengchun said directly.
"You dare... just try leaving?" Dao Baifeng raised an eyebrow and looked at Duan Zhengchun.
"Heh... don't you know this Prince responds to persuasion but not coercion?"
"If you tell me to leave, I'll leave. You said it yourself. You want to see if I dare?" Duan Zhengchun retorted domineeringly.
"You..."
Dao Baifeng looked at Duan Zhengchun with anger on her pretty face. When she saw he wasn't joking, she felt a bit aggrieved.
You were gone for so many days, and now that you're back, I can't even have a little temper?
However, she was truly afraid that Duan Zhengchun would just leave in a huff. She didn't know when he would return if he left this time.
"Alright, Husband, Sister, you two really are a pair of bickering lovers. You miss each other when you're apart, but now that you've finally met, you're at each other's throats," Zhao Min said with a smile, trying to mediate.
"Hmph, men really are all scumbags."
"Once they've got what they wanted, see? They don't treasure it anymore," Dao Baifeng said with a hint of grievance in her voice.
"Sister, don't you know what kind of person Husband is?" Zhao Min whispered into Dao Baifeng's ear.
Hearing Zhao Min's words, Dao Baifeng's face turned red.
Thinking about it, Duan Zhengchun really was capable of such things.
You went out this time to propose marriage, didn't you? Why did you bring back so many?
Before, there were only Xiaodie and Zhao Min, but now there are suddenly so many more.
Xiao Zhao, A Li, Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Buhui, Tang Lan, and Daiqisi.
What left her even more speechless was Daiqisi's age; she had originally thought Xiao Zhao and Daiqisi were sisters.
It turned out she didn't expect them to be mother and daughter. At this, Dao Baifeng felt her worldview was about to shatter.
Although Daiqisi hadn't admitted to her relationship with Duan Zhengchun.
However, out of a woman's intuition, the relationship between these two was definitely not simple.
However, since Zhao Min had stepped up to speak, it wasn't appropriate for her to continue dwelling on these matters.
If she really didn't know when to back down, with so many women around, she, the Princess, might lose favor. If her status ended up being lower than these newcomers, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"I've come back this time to settle them in as well."
"I plan to hold a mass wedding and marry all of you into the family together."
"Do you have any opinions on this?" Duan Zhengchun said directly after taking a seat.
"Husband, you can decide this yourself. I don't mind," Zhao Min said with a smile.
"As long as I'm given a formal status, I have no other objections," A Li nodded.
"I don't mind. I'll listen to Husband," Tang Lan said with a smile.
The reactions of the women surprised Dao Baifeng.
She really didn't understand what means Duan Zhengchun had used to make them so obedient.
In this kind of situation, not a single one of them showed any sign of dissatisfaction.
She could tell that Zhao Min and the others weren't acting.
