Chapter 541: Chapter 541 : (Extra) Jiang Muchen’s Love Story (25)
Overcome with embarrassment, Jiang Muchen didn’t even know what to say.
Yang Jiali, on the other hand, was endlessly amused.
"There is no need to be ashamed, Palace Master Jiang. It is a normal reaction that healthy, potent alphas must show upon seeing beautiful omegas. If you managed to get through the dance without showing any physical reaction, I might think that something is inherently wrong with you."
She refrained from mentioning that she suspected the same whenever Xie Jianyu came to visit.
He was mesmerized by the alluring omega foxes, yes, but that was all there was.
He was never tempted to do anything untoward, such as stealing a kiss or forcing a hug.
Either the Crown Prince’s high cultivation level emphasized on asceticism or he harbored a physiological problem as an alpha.
Well, whatever it was, he ended up being transformed into an omega by the First Demon King. Now he was a blessed mother of three, and his position within the Golden Dragon Palace could not be stronger.
For now, the dragon clan’s claim upon the Dragon Throne remained uncontested.
Yang Jiali then turned her attention to a certain fox, who had not been back for many, many years.
"Qingyue."
Yang Jiali reached out and pinched the omega’s chin affectionately.
"Long time no see. I heard you laid five eggs after getting married to Zhou Guiying."
Shi Qingyue burst into tears and put her arms around Yang Jiali’s leg.
"Palace Master!" She sobbed. "Wahhhh, I missed Ling’an Palace so! I don’t want to go back to Qingyuan Palace!"
Yang Jiali let out a soft giggle.
"Don’t say that. Won’t you miss your husband and your children?"
Shi Qingyue pursed her lips full of indignation.
"That scoundrel is just going to make me lay a sixth egg. Can’t I take my children to Ling’an Palace?"
"Hahaha, you know that won’t be possible. Merchildren can only survive underwater."
Shi Qingyue broke into a howl.
Yang Jiali knelt in front of her and pulled her into a hug.
"There, there, don’t be distraught. Go spend some time with your sisters. I will arrange for you to come back to Ling’an Palace regularly from now on."
Sniffling to herself, the omega fox complied. She then turned toward Jiang Muchen.
"Palace Master Yang, Jiang Muchen needs your help," she said. "It is best discussed between alphas, so I will take my leave now."
Shi Qingyue barely disappeared from the door when she transformed into a fox and dashed away, leaving her clothes behind again.
Yang Jiali gestured for Jiang Muchen to take a seat.
"There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Your father and I belong to the same generation, and we are now both Palace Masters. If you need any help, I will not hesitate to provide my assistance."
Jiang Muchen heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Jiali’s words made him feel a lot better.
"I understand from Shi Qingyue that fox clan practices the art of dual cultivation for many, many decades."
"Correct."
"I wish to know the proper way of performing dual-cultivation with an non-cultivating omega, with the goal to stimulate their spiritual roots. Naturally, I do not wish for any pregnancy to happen."
Yang Jiali nodded in apprehension.
"Certainly, our clan has perfected the art of dual-cultivation to the point that we can tailor a manual according to requests. I need to inform you, though, that dual-cultivation with a non-cultivating omega is not enough to turn one into a Golden Lotus."
"Yes, I understand that much."
Omegas who reached the level of a Golden Lotus cultivated on their own, not solely relying on a partner to advance.
Otherwise, Ling’an Palace would be the one clan who bred Golden Lotuses for generations.
"Alright then. Let me fetch said manual for you."
Yang Jiali clapped with her hands once, and a servant hurried inside to serve him.
"Yes, Palace Master?"
"I need Scribe Xin to be here to provide her service."
"Yes, Palace Master, at once."
Only several minutes passed before the servant returned with a beautiful woman in tow. She must be the aforementioned Scribe Xin.
"Greetings to Palace Master," Scribe Xin said with a soft, melodious voice as she fell into a graceful curtsy.
"Say hello to Palace Master Jiang from Shuiran Palace," Yang Jiali said. "I need you to draft a dual-cultivation manual as per his request."
Scribe Xin slowly lifted her eyes and looked straight into Jiang Muchen’s eyes.
Her lips curved into a seductive smile, and she said, "With pleasure. Palace Master Jiang, nice to make your acquaintance. I am Scribe Xin, one of the senior scribes in Ling’an Palace. Please follow me to the Moonlit Dew Pavilion for a chat."
Jiang Muchen rose to his feet and cupped his fists at Yang Jiali.
"Many thanks, Palace Master Yang."
"No need to be so formal," Yang Jiali said as she dismissed him with a smile.
After Jiang Muchen left, Yang Jiali requested some stationeries from the same servant who rushed to her service just now.
Once she finished writing the short report, she sealed it using a spell and handed it over to the servant.
"Send it over to the Golden Dragon Palace and give it to no one else but Head Eunuch Lu."
Head Eunuch Lu was in charge of handling the Heavenly Emperor’s secret reports.
"Yes, Palace Master."
The letter arrived in Head Eunuch Lu’s hands within an hour. As soon as he found out that it hailed from Ling’an Palace, he understood its urgent nature.
Taking into consideration the importance of the report, he naturally did not dare to delay handing it over to the Heavenly Emperor.
Upon receiving said letter, Xie Jianshen read it once before sending it sliding across the study desk.
"Muchen actually plans to dual-cultivate with that omega wolf just because he doesn’t want to bow his head before me. Tell me, is he going through a rebellious phase? What the hell is wrong with this child?" He hissed in displeasure.
With a placating smile hanging on his lips, his husband Jiang Rufeng took the letter into his hands.
After reading the content three times in a row, he folded the letter and stuck it into his sleeves.
"Jianshen, don’t be too agitated. Let me handle Muchen."
