Chapter 179 This is called Rain and Dew are Evenly Distributed
Inside the palace.
Emperor Xia had been paying attention to Qin Bei for an entire day.
But what did Qin Bei do all day? Absolutely nothing!
It drove him crazy.
Bang!
The loud sound drew the attention of all the important figures present.
Emperor Xia looked at everyone and calmly announced, “I am going to rest as well. Please carry on.”
Everyone: ???
What? You’re resting too?
Is resting at night a royal family habit?
That can’t be right; which cultivator sleeps all day?
Though everyone was perplexed, they didn’t ask any further.
Of course, Emperor Xia wasn’t actually going to sleep.
At his level of cultivation, he had lost track of how many years he hadn’t really taken a break.
His rest consisted solely of meditation.
The reason he left the hall was entirely due to his irritation with Qin Bei.
Other sect geniuses had already secured a third-level soul pearl in just one day.
Yet Qin Bei spent the whole day just playing around and accomplished nothing.
However, once back at the Yangju Palace, Emperor Xia couldn’t resist watching Qin Bei’s recording again.
Emperor Xia still held some hope in his heart, believing that Qin Bei might genuinely be tired and would start revealing his comprehension talent after a good rest.
On this, Emperor Xia still had confidence in Qin Bei.
Getting ten third-level soul pearls in ten days was surely no challenge for his son.
Of course, the precondition was that Qin Bei had to take things seriously.
Yet, the more he watched, the angrier he got, eventually giving up and stopping the playback.
The truth was, Qin Bei was fully enjoying himself during the process.
Emperor Xia noticed that although Qin Bei had already woken up, he simply wouldn’t get up.
His playful attitude was far too obvious.
This left Emperor Xia utterly helpless.
Ultimately, he abandoned watching Qin Bei and decided to check on him after nine days.
If he couldn’t enter the inner circle, he’d just pull him out and give him a good beating.
…….
Inside the royal tomb.
Qin Bei lay on Mu Zhaoxue’s lap, fast asleep.
While Mu Zhaoxue felt it, she let Qin Bei be because she was focused on comprehending martial arts.
Time passed slowly.
The first night in the royal tomb elapsed just like that.
When the light appeared again, Ji Zhuyue was the first to open her eyes.
At the next moment, a ray of light shone from the tombstone before her.
Ji Zhuyue grabbed it.
The round, translucent object was indeed the soul pearl that Ji Zhuyue needed.
Looking at the three lines on it, she recognized it as a third-level soul pearl.
As soon as Ji Zhuyue obtained it, the first thought that crossed her mind was to show it to Qin Bei.
But when she turned around, she saw Qin Bei drooling on Mu Zhaoxue’s thigh.
Not only that, but after falling asleep, Qin Bei—whether intentional or not—was rather hands-on.
This infuriated Ji Zhuyue.
Here were two representatives from the Wu Kingdom striving to comprehend the techniques of the Great Xia, aiming to obtain a third-level soul pearl.
And this prince of Great Xia? He just slept all night and took advantage of Mu Zhaoxue!
Ji Zhuyue just couldn’t tolerate it.
Just as she was about to take action, Mu Zhaoxue stirred as well.
A flash of light erupted from the tombstone in front of her.
A third-level soul pearl also appeared in Mu Zhaoxue’s hand.
In just one night, both of them had managed to grasp this martial skill.
They were recognized for their efforts and successfully acquired the third-level soul pearl.
Noticing that Mu Zhaoxue had also completed her understanding, Ji Zhuyue halted her actions.
She subtly indicated to Mu Zhaoxue to glance at Qin Bei on her lap.
Mu Zhaoxue understood Ji Zhuyue’s hint.
However, after taking a look at Qin Bei, she said nothing.
She simply watched Qin Bei’s face in silence.
In this situation, as long as Mu Zhaoxue didn’t dislike Qin Bei, it was clear she wouldn’t wake him.
Evidently, Mu Zhaoxue had no intention of waking Qin Bei up.
She raised her head to Ji Zhuyue and proposed, “How about preparing breakfast first before waking your husband? He looks genuinely tired.”
Ji Zhuyue: …
Well, I guess I’ve truly become a real maid now.
This kind of dirty and strenuous work is now my responsibility.
After Ji Zhuyue prepared the delicious breakfast, Qin Bei finally stirred and got up groggily.
Mu Zhaoxue noticed the drool at the corner of his mouth and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.
This scene left the new arrivals around them green with envy.
They were all human; why was the treatment so vastly different?
Burp~
After letting out a satisfied belch, Qin Bei declared he was full.
“Let’s move on to the next place. There should be plenty of tombstones like this.”
He casually informed the two women.
“Husband, don’t you really want to give it a try?” Ji Zhuyue couldn’t help but ask.
“No rush.” Qin Bei replied nonchalantly.
This answer was clearly not what the two wanted.
But the current situation was as it was. If Qin Bei didn’t want to budge, there was little they could do about it.
“Let’s go, to the next place.”
The two women sighed helplessly.
What was even more frustrating was that Qin Bei still refused to move by himself…
Wasn’t this just causing trouble?
Though both women realized this was intentional behavior from Qin Bei, for some reason, they were still inclined to indulge him.
If it were someone else, not only would they not follow, but they wouldn’t hesitate to give him a good beating!
Qin Bei truly turned into an exception in their minds.
To be fair, Qin Bei made each of them carry him for an hour.
This way, both ladies enjoyed a chance to indulge him equally.
Wait a minute… this isn’t about resistance, it’s about fairness!
P.S.: I’ll take a break for now; I’m off to the Grand View Tower in Yibin to meet a beautiful woman.
