I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Zhang brother, do you have any powerful martial arts here?" You Ruo leaned in and hugged Zhang Menglong's arm, rubbing her underdeveloped chest against his arm.

"Look, you gave me such a powerful cultivation technique, but if there isn't corresponding martial arts, wouldn't it be wasted? If Ruoruo runs into someone really strong in the future, she might even get robbed and killed."

"This girl, why so coquettish," Zhang Menglong immediately felt a bit helpless.

[What do you mean coquettish, today even if the Heavenly King came, she's still the good sister of the dean! Isn't she just trying to act spoiled to get some martial arts? Just give it to her!]

"Alright, alright, stop rubbing, there's none anyway, if you keep rubbing it'll turn into a washboard," Zhang Menglong really couldn't take it anymore, "Here, take it, the matching swordsmanship and palm technique, can you let go now?"

"Mua~" You Ruo jumped up and kissed Zhang Menglong's face, "From today on, you're my real brother too!"

"Ah, can't stop a grown girl." Qi Xiu sighed, "Let's head back to the royal palace first, look at me, do I look like a prince anymore?"

"Let's go! Zhang brother, I'll take you to our royal palace!" You Ruo didn't even glance at Qi Xiu, grabbed Zhang Menglong and headed in the direction of the royal palace.

...

"Wow, this really is the royal palace!"

Standing before the enormous structure, Zhang Menglong was truly amazed. He had visited many civilizations before, some with very advanced technology and spectacularly constructed cities, yet in front of this palace, they seemed to pale in comparison.

The palace was half built on the ground, half floating in the air, with waterfalls cascading down from the upper sections along artificial hills and other structures. The garden floating in the sky seemed like a wondrous illusionary realm, the layered, dazzling architectural masterpiece stretched endlessly beyond sight.

At the very center of the entire royal palace, a golden palace was floating, radiating an aura of mighty majesty, intimidating the entire royal city.

Before Zhang Menglong laid a dragon whose material for construction was unknown. As Zhang Menglong fixed his gaze on those azure eyes, he actually felt a powerful aura locking onto him.

With the power he possessed, almost comparable to the First Realm of Heaven Breaking, he was still sweating under the pressure of this aura.

"Zhang brother, you shouldn't stare at the eyes of this statue for too long," You Ruo reminded.

"What kind of gemstone is that?"

"That's not a gemstone," You Ruo laughed, "it's the eyes of a true dragon demon beast!"

"What? Demon beast's eyes?"

"Our Sacred Gold Dynasty's ancestor took them from a Dragon Clan demon beast at the Second Realm of Heaven Breaking. When our dynasty was newly established, demon beasts were rampant within the realm, with that beast as the leader. Our ancestor battled it bloodily for months before finally slaying it!"

"Wow."

"Zhang brother, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about whether the meat of that Dragon Clan demon beast would taste good, how to make the texture and flavor great," Zhang Menglong replied.

"Zhang brother, those are not creatures we can deal with. The most powerful people in our Sacred Gold Dynasty now are only at the Third Realm of Heaven Breaking."

"It won't be long before the two of you surpass your ancestor," Zhang Menglong smiled.

Both You Ruo and Qi Xiu were full of confidence, especially Qi Xiu. With an eight Spirit Root constitution and the powerful Azure Sky Dragon Transforming Secret, even if he spent every day eating and sleeping, he could effortlessly advance to the Heaven-breaking Realm within a year or two.

"Zhang brother, I'll take you to your room first, tomorrow I'll accompany you to explore the entire royal palace, and if you want to play and taste the delicacies in the royal city, I'll take you there too. Our Sacred Gold Dynasty has lots of fun and delicious places."

"Alright," Zhang Menglong didn't refuse, he really wanted to see the prosperity of these middle worlds.

Suddenly, a bell sounded, loud enough to be heard clearly throughout the royal palace.

"What sound is that? Is it mealtime?" Zhang Menglong glanced at the time; it should be considered the middle of the night in this world, "Does your royal palace provide midnight snacks?"

"No, it's different," Qi Xiu and You Ruo's expressions changed completely from just moments ago, "This is the warning bell of our Sacred Gold Dynasty, only rang in very serious situations."

As the bell rang, the entire royal palace became a bit chaotic, and figures began to rush toward the golden palace at the top from all corners of the royal palace.

"Could something have happened to father?" Qi Xiu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"That shouldn't be," You Ruo said, "Father is a martial artist at the Second Realm of Heaven Breaking, and there are several Grand Emperors in the palace, how could something happen to him?"

Although You Ruo said that, her expression had long betrayed her. If nothing had happened, the bell wouldn't be ringing.

"Stop speculating here, let's hurry over to see," Zhang Menglong said.

He wondered if he truly brought misfortune, as soon as he arrived at someone's palace, their emperor unexpectedly met a mishap? That's not how it's supposed to go, right?

The three promptly utilized Mystic Qi to fly to the golden palace, where many people had already gathered outside. These individuals were almost all royal kin or very important figures within the dynasty.

"Mother!"

Qi Xiu's mother and You Ruo's mother were together, and compared to other women of the dynasty, Qi Xiu's mother's attire was much more modest. Ever since Qi Xiu's Spirit Root was destroyed, their status plummeted, fortunately, thanks to You Ruo's family supporting them, they avoided bullying from others.

"Xiu er? Why do you look like this?" Qi Xiu's mother seeing Qi Xiu so down-trodden nearly guessed what had occurred, "They are too excessive; they already ruined your Spirit Root, now they want to drive us to the brink?"

Qi Xiu's mother was a very graceful woman; even after reaching a certain age, her youthful beauty was still apparent. However, with her diminished status, if she were in Legend of Zhen Huan, she probably wouldn't even survive one episode.

"Mother, don't cry. Isn't nothing wrong with me?" Qi Xiu consoled his already teary-eyed mother, "Oh, let me introduce to you my newfound brother, Zhang Menglong. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made it to the royal city this time, and my Spirit Root has also been restored thanks to him."

"What? Your Spirit Root is restored?" The woman showed a delighted expression. Their fallen status was due to Qi Xiu's damaged Spirit Root, and now with its restoration coupled with his governance talents, they had the chance to return to their peak!

"It's all thanks to Brother Zhang." Qi Xiu didn't mention that he now had eight Spirit Roots, this news if spread wouldn't be beneficial to him at present.

"Mr. Zhang, our mother and son thank you." The beautiful woman even attempted to kneel in front of Zhang Menglong.

"There's no need for such courtesy," Zhang Menglong quickly assisted the woman, "I'm friends with Qi Xiu, it was just a small effort. But what's happening now? Gathering everyone here in the middle of the night?"

"Ah," the woman sighed, "Xiu er, you don't know because you haven't been in the royal city. Something happened to your father."

"Something happened to father? How is that possible?" Even You Ruo looked surprised, Qi Xiu wasn't in the royal city, but she had been there the whole time.

"To maintain the stability of the dynasty, this news was kept hidden. But now, it's probably reached a critical moment."

Zhang Menglong mused to himself, "Wow, this isn't the sound for a midnight snack; it's the sound for a banquet feast!"
