Chapter 977 5 Drops of Golden Dragon Marrow
"What's going on? Why is Wu Xuan suddenly so angry?"
"Perhaps he saw Brother Zhao kissing someone else!"
"There's no need to get so angry. It's not like we don't know that Brother Zhao has other women."
Takeda and the others whispered among themselves with strange expressions.
"Hey you guys, can you stop chatting and pull me out of here?"
Wu Ling interrupted their conversation, somewhat speechless.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot!"
"Haha, Wu Ling, you're just unlucky to have run into the line of fire."
Seeing Wu Ling's disheveled state, the group couldn't help but laugh. They grabbed him from either side and pulled him off the wall.
"Let's go back to the inn and wait."
After the martial arts contest to choose a husband ends, there will inevitably be a wedding night. The golden dragon marrow will probably have to wait for some time before it is handed over, so there is no point in them staying here any longer.
Moreover, it won't be long before the Great Xia Imperial Palace closes down and everyone is asked to leave.
......
The Imperial Garden.
After that, Zhao Mu followed Xia Shang, Xu Qingyan, and Xia Ningzhi to this place.
"This is....."
As soon as he sat down, Xia Shang took out a purple jade box and placed it in front of Zhao Mu.
"Golden Dragon Marrow!"
Xia Shang gave a direct answer.
"So fast?"
Zhao Mu was somewhat surprised. He had thought that it would take some time for the Great Xia Dynasty to hand over the Golden Dragon Marrow, but he hadn't expected it to be so quick.
As soon as I opened it.
roar~
Five miniature golden five-clawed dragon phantoms rushed towards us.
Five drops!
This number surprised him greatly. He looked at Xia Shang and Xu Qingyan with disbelief and asked, "So many?"
"What? You think it's too much? Then don't take it."
Xia Shang was about to snatch the purple jade box back when Xu Qingyan reached out and slapped it.
slap~
Xia Shang immediately withdrew his hand.
Xu Qingyan smiled faintly and said, "Your father-in-law specially went to discuss it with the ancestors on your behalf. Of course, he used the name of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace before the ancestors reluctantly agreed."
"According to the original plan, there were actually only three drops."
"But Xiao Jiu said that you have already promised to give away four drops. At first, this girl lied to me and said that you promised to give away six drops. She is like water spilled out after marriage. She is wholeheartedly thinking about you."
"You brat, don't you even think about it? This is all your dowry."
Xu Qingyan pretended to be angry and gently tapped her daughter's forehead before looking at Zhao Mu again and continuing, "For this reason, your father-in-law went to discuss it again with the ancestors."
"That's how we got the five drops we have today."
"this....."
Zhao Mu was somewhat moved and thought about taking one drop back, since even with Wu Xuan's daughter, only four drops would be needed.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law must have paid a considerable price to negotiate with the ancestors of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Their status is not actually as high as one might imagine.
Otherwise, Xiao Jiu wouldn't have almost become a victim.
"Don't worry, the name of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is very useful, it's all taken care of."
Xu Qingyan naturally knew what Zhao Mu was going to say. He was indeed a good boy. She held her son-in-law's hand, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said, "Take them all. Remember to give the remaining drop to the sect, after all, it used the name of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace."
Zhao Mu nodded; he hadn't really considered that.
"Also, don't be silly and hand the thing over to the sect directly. Remember, give this Golden Dragon Marrow to the Yan family or your master's wife. In the end, this drop of Golden Dragon Marrow will still be yours. It's just a formality, and the people from Hunyuan Taiqing Palace won't say anything."
"If we were to hand it over to someone else, it would be a complete loss."
"This is Xiao Jiu's dowry, don't be foolish!"
uh~
Zhao Mu looked at his father-in-law, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with some shock. He really had a lot of ulterior motives.
However, how could someone become the Xia Emperor without some ability?
"Thank you for the reminder, Father-in-law!"
Zhao Mu smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and accepted all five drops of golden dragon marrow.
"Alright, go do whatever you want, don't get in the way."
Xia Shang wore an "out of sight, out of mind" expression, as the two were touching hands under the table. Did he really think he didn't see it?
"Then Father and Mother, we'll be taking our leave now!"
Xia Ningzhi got up with a smile, took Zhao Mu's arm, and gradually moved away from the Imperial Garden.
"Hey~"
Xia Shang sighed deeply and said with emotion, "My daughter, whom I've raised for so many years..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Qingyan said speechlessly, "Compared to Xiao Zhao, what are you? Xiao Jiu entered the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace at the age of twenty, and for the past ten years or so, it has been Xiao Zhao who has been taking care of her."
"Besides, we'll all be relying on Xiao Zhao from now on, so what are you lamenting about here?"
Compared to Xiao Zhao, you're nothing.
uh~
Xia Shang was speechless for a moment, then suddenly felt that perhaps it wasn't such a loss after all, and even...
"Do you think our dowry was too small? Should we give some more?"
"Xia Shang, you're such an idiot. No wonder you were beaten half to death by Chi Yanyun back then."
Xu Qingyan couldn't help but complain, "Hey, he's a human being! Does Xiao Zhao care about your dowry? He cares about Xiao Jiu. Keep your little treasures for later, to pamper your grandchildren!"
"Haha, that's true!"
Xia Shang immediately began to look forward to it.
The curse of grandparents' excessive affection for their grandchildren is inescapable in any world.
......
late at night.
Inside the palace.
Xia Ningzhi leaned against Zhao Mu's chest with a relaxed expression. She had been sitting there for several hours and was quite content.
"What's the deal with Wu Xuan?"
Back then, she lived in a small courtyard with Zhao Mu and knew a bit about the affairs of Wudi City. She knew that Zhao Mu and Wu Xuan didn't get along well, and the reason was, of course, Wu Yao and Wu Shu.
"To be honest, I'm not too sure either."
Zhao Mu shook his head somewhat blankly and said frankly, "I suspect it's very likely that Yan Bingqing and Wu Yao found me a concubine."
"what!"
Xia Ningzhi was stunned for a moment, looking completely bewildered.
Weren't they supposed to be mortal enemies?
Listen to it yourself!
Zhao Mu didn't explain anything, but instead played Wu Yao's telepathic message for her.
After listening, Xia Ningzhi stood there stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment. She could only agree with Wu Yao and say, "Sister Wu Yao is right. We can't just let Wu Xuan have it for nothing. Golden Dragon Marrow is so precious."
"Husband, you should sleep with her a few more times; after all, you spent a lot of money on her."
puff~
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but burst out laughing. He flicked the woman's nose and retorted, "What do you mean by spending money? Do you think I'm visiting a brothel? I have my own plans for Wu Xuan."
"Husband, you're not planning to give away the Golden Dragon Marrow for free, are you?!"
"No, that won't do. It's part of my dowry. I don't agree."
"Sister Wu Yao is right, you should sleep with her."
"Um......"
"No, to prevent you from disobeying, I need to witness it with my own eyes."
???
Zhao Mu looked at the Ninth Princess in shock and said strangely, "Zhizhi, you don't have any special fetishes, do you?"
"No, don't talk nonsense. I just don't want others to use the Golden Dragon Marrow for free."
Xia Ningzhi retorted angrily, "Such precious things are only for our own family to use. Although I have no proof, there's definitely something going on between you and that Xia Ruoxi."
"But don't worry, my husband, I won't tell anyone."
