Li Xuanmen looked at the back of the figure and said nervously, “Fairy w.a.n.g, I have already ordered the servants to prepare the banquet. I wonder if I can invite you to the banquet?”
“You don’t need to be polite. I am not in the mood.”
A clear voice rang in Li Xuanmen’s ears, causing his heart to tremble.
Fairy w.a.n.g was indeed an immortal-like figure. Not only did she have unparalleled looks, even her voice sounded like a celestial voice.
“Prince Li, don’t bother about Yuyan. Just go and have your meal.”
However, this celestial voice revealed a cold rejection.
Li Xuanmen was still unwilling to give up after being rejected. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he saw the figure with her back facing him turn around and face him.
When he saw w.a.n.g Yuyan’s face, Li Xuanmen felt his heart skip a beat. That was an incomparably beautiful face. Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth were all beautiful. When combined together, they were a match made in heaven. Even the fairies in the sky were no better than that.
Li Xuanmen’s gaze was dazed. He stared blankly at the beauty in front of him and even forgot what he wanted to say.
w.a.n.g Yuyan could not help but furrow her brows when she felt Li Xuanmen’s gaze. This Prince of Xia Kingdom was just a shield that could eliminate a lot of trouble. Who knew that things would turn out like this… After thinking for a while, she said, “Prince Li, the reason why I boarded your flying shuttle was because the wild bees and wild b.u.t.terflies outside were too annoying. If Prince Li also harbors the thoughts of those wild bees and wild b.u.t.terflies, then I can only bid you farewell.”
When Li Xuanmen heard this, he quickly explained, “No, no, no. Fairy w.a.n.g, don’t misunderstand. Li Xuanmen is different from those wild bees and wild b.u.t.terflies. He doesn’t have the slightest bit of blasphemy. From now on, Li Xuanmen will not come and disturb Fairy w.a.n.g.”
After saying this, Li Xuanmen turned around to leave.
When w.a.n.g Yuyan saw that Li Xuanmen looked like he knew very well, she thought that her words were too harsh. This matter was within the borders of Xia Kingdom. After all, Xia Kingdom was the overlord of the southern mountain range… If she offended him because of this, it would probably be a troublesome matter.
After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth and called out to Li Xuanmen.
“Wait, doesn’t Prince Li Want to know why I came to Great Xia this time?”
Li Xuanmen was just troubled that he had no reason to get close to w.a.n.g Yuyan. When he heard these words, his eyes lit up, he blurted out, “Of course I want to know. Fairy, speak quickly… No, Fairy, please speak slowly. As long as it’s within Great Xia, what I, Li Xuanmen, say is still very useful.”
As long as he could talk to w.a.n.g Yuyan, Li Xuanmen felt that he could agree to anything.
w.a.n.g Yuyan said lightly, “I wonder if Prince Li knows about the Xiaoyao Grand Sage?”
Li Xuanmen was obviously stunned for a moment. He frowned and said, “The Carefree Grand Sage? Funny, I’ve never heard of him. But I do know a Daoist named Xiaoyao Zi. I’ve seen him in ancient books by chance.”
“The Xiaoyao Grand Sage and the Xiaoyao Zi are the same person. He was a cultivator from the Southern Territory ten thousand years ago. It is rumored that he was a chess master in the secular world, but later on, he comprehended the Great Dao of Yin-Yang transformation in chess. Then, in just a thousand years, he ascended…”
“Have we ever had such an immortal here?”
Li Xuanmen could not be blamed for being so shocked. It had been 10,000 years since a cultivator had transcended the tribulations.
w.a.n.g Yuyan did not reply. Instead, she continued to introduce, “The Xiaoyao Grand Sage was also a member of your Xia Kingdom back then… Of course, your Xia Kingdom had not been established back then.”
“There’s actually such a thing?” Li Xuanmen was even more shocked. After thinking about it, he understood why w.a.n.g Yuyan had come. “Fairy w.a.n.g, are you here for the Xiaoyao Grand Sage?!”
w.a.n.g Yuyan nodded her head lightly, she replied, “Yes. A few months ago, someone obtained a jade slip that seemed to be left behind by a descendant of the Xiaoyao Grand Sage. The jade slip indicated that the Xiaoyao Grand Sage’s important abode was here. Now, not only me, the entire southern mountain range is going crazy over this matter.”
“No wonder I saw so many unfamiliar faces on the way here. So their goal was to come here for the Xiaoyao Grand Sage,” Li Xuanmen muttered.
“Before I came here, I had already looked at the changes in the terrain over the past ten thousand years. I discovered that the cave abode is located near the current Grand Moon Sect,” w.a.n.g Yuyan said coldly as she looked at Li Xuanmen.
“Prince Li, are you congratulating the Grand Moon Sect’s Daoist Master Zhu Zhao for breaking through to the Dharma Idol realm this time? We might as well reveal this information to him when the time comes. When the time comes, we can cooperate with him. With one more Dharma Idol cultivator, our chances will be much greater. Prince Li, what do you think of Yuyan’s plan?”
Li Xuanmen was already mesmerized by w.a.n.g Yuyan’s appearance. How could he object? He immediately agreed.
“Fairy w.a.n.g, don’t worry. As long as the Grand Moon Sect is still within the borders of Great Xia, they will definitely agree to it. Furthermore, I brought a congratulatory gift to their doorstep this time. The collaboration will definitely be a done deal.”
Although w.a.n.g Yuyan was a little dissatisfied with Li Xuanmen’s att.i.tude towards the Xiaoyao Grand Sage, she still held it in. She smiled slightly and said gently, “Then I’ll leave this matter to Prince Li. Yuyan still wants to…”
Li Xuanmen’s entire body softened because of w.a.n.g Yuyan’s smile. When he heard the G.o.ddess’ refusal, he quickly said, “Alright, alright, I understand. Xuanmen will leave now. I won’t let the servants disturb you anymore.”
He turned around and left. However, one could see his reluctance from his back.
Looking at Li Xuanmen’s back as he left, w.a.n.g Yuyan took out a jade slip that she had placed on her body.
“This is the last of the chess books that my sect has collected. Back then, the Xiaoyao Grand Sage’s chess skills soared, so the restrictive mechanisms in his cave abode must have something to do with chess. Now that I have read all the chess books in the world, it will definitely be useful for cracking the traps. When the time comes, I will definitely have the upper hand in seizing opportunities.”
“With the Second Prince of Great Xia and Zhu Zhao of the Grand Moon Sect as a guarantee, it will not be difficult to break the other traps that require brute force.”
“And when I have conflicts with others, I’ll also have helpers. In addition, I’m a disciple of the Zhongliu Island in Gusu, I’ll definitely be able to reap a lot of benefits.”
“w.a.n.g Yuyan, who had clearly figured out her plans, immersed her mind into the jade slip and began to study the chess book.

On the other side, Liu Changgong was cooking at home.
Gulp, gulp, gulp–
The black iron pot was simmering meat. Liu Changgong casually sprinkled the system reward spices, and a tempting aroma immediately spread out.
