Chapter 995: Imperial Family’s Imperial Son-in-law

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Imperial Family’s Imperial Son-in-law

If it weren’t for Lin Yingying’s request, Long Fei really wouldn’t want to bring along this troublesome little aunt.

Those eyes were curved, who knows what kind of bad ideas she was coming up with.

Long Fei stood up and said from a distance, "Behave yourself, I’m your brother-in-law, we need to keep our distance."

Lin Shanshan hooked the corner of her mouth and said, "My sister isn’t here, what are you afraid of?"

Long Fei gave her a look and said, "Afraid of what? What on earth are you thinking about?"

"Boring guy."

Lin Shanshan felt a wave of boredom, stood up, stretched herself and headed out the door.

Long Fei sighed with relief when he sent this person away.

He called the Ground Rat Demon King over to have it report the latest intelligence it had gathered.

Now, under Long Fei’s support, the Ground Rat Clan continually improved its bloodline, even turning the fur on the body of the Ground Rat Demon King golden.

Long Fei had once plundered a gene bank in the ocean.

Inside was a Brocade Rat gene, which Long Fei had extracted and given to the Ground Rat Clan.

The creatures of ancient times were much more formidable than those of the present.

After absorbing the genes in the bloodline, their bodies and brains had strengthened by at least tenfold compared to before.

The Ground Rat Demon King had also just returned, summoning its disciples to gather news from various places.

The Ground Rat Clan lacked many abilities, but they reproduced rapidly, establishing their own clans throughout Great Xia Country.

The news was extensive but, being Earth Rats, very few pieces of information they gathered were of importance, mostly trivial matters.

Long Fei listened to it for a while, and when it got to the news about the Old Emperor preparing a martial competition to select an Imperial Son-in-law throughout Great Xia Country, he slightly furrowed his brows and stopped the Ground Rat Demon King.

Bald Dog, rubbing his shiny head, chuckled and said, "The master is always the master, unconcerned with fighting and killing, but the moment someone’s recruiting a consort prince, he gets excited."

Long Fei glanced at it sideways, having summoned the Ground Rat Demon King for a report, and this fellow had come to join in the excitement.

He asked the Ground Rat Demon King, "Which princess is the consort prince being selected for?"

The Ground Rat Demon King said, "The Third Princess Ji Wanrong, the same one who caused a ruckus with you at the hotel at the foot of Mount Hua."

"Her?"

Long Fei smiled to himself, he had thought it was Ji Wanyu!

He had a plan that relied on Ji Wanyu to complete, and if it was the recruitment of a consort prince for her, then Long Fei would need to think things through thoroughly.

The Ground Rat Demon King said, "Master, you’re a natural genius, why not give it a try? The rewards this time are quite substantial. If you become the consort prince, not only will you be granted a mansion in the Imperial City, but also a fief outside, and I heard you might even be made a king!"

"Just this?"

Long Fei guessed that titles and benefits of the secular world probably weren’t that tempting to cultivators?

The Ground Rat Demon King smiled and said, "Indeed, you can’t hide anything from the master, but of course there’s more. It’s said that the Royal Family Secret Realm, which opens once every five hundred years, is about to open, and only descendants of the Royal Family can enter. It possesses rare treasures and various fortunes beyond count, always coveted by the Great Xia Country Cultivators. Previously, it was forbidden to those not of the Royal blood, but this time there’s an exception, the new consort prince can enter."

"A secret realm?"

Long Fei grew curious and frowned.

The Ground Rat Demon King said, "Yes, it’s a small fragmented space. The largest is as big as your world, the smallest no more than the size of a garden. The entryways to these secret realms are all controlled by the major sects and the Royal Family. Every now and then, they combine forces to send disciples inside for training. Every time, there are lucky individuals who emerge, obtaining fortunes that allow them to stand tall in the Cultivation World."

"Isn’t there any other way to get in?"

Long Fei listened with an itching heart.

The Ground Rat Demon King chuckled, "This is left behind by the ancients, to enter you need to expend a large number of Spirit Stones to activate the Teleportation Array, there’s no alternative route. Master, you should stop thinking about underhanded methods as soon as possible and peacefully assume your role as the Imperial Son-in-law."

Bald Dog clapped in agreement, "Master, I support you in becoming the Imperial Son-in-law. If we want to establish ourselves in this world, having the Imperial Family as our backing, surely no one would dare to provoke us."

"Am I the kind of person who craves vanity?" Long Fei rolled his eyes at the two of them.

The Ground Rat Demon King said persuasively, "Master ah, we know you’re a man who values loyalty and righteousness, has no lust for women, and is faithful in love. But given the situation, it’s all for the sake of cultivation resources. If we become the Imperial Son-in-law and then elope, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

Bald Dog felt disgusted upon hearing this and snorted disdainfully, thinking that this bootlicking was way too shameless.

As it understood, its master could be quite brooding indeed!

Long Fei glared at Bald Dog, a look of annoyance washed over him, and with a kick he sent the dog flying off the sofa, reprimanding, "What are you huffing about?"

Bald Dog rubbed its bottom, feeling aggrieved, but flattered with its mouth, "Master, I’m agreeing with Brother Ground Rat’s opinion, why did you kick me? In my heart, you truly are loyal and faithful in love, comparable to the modern-day Liang Shanbo, Romeo."

"Get lost!" Long Fei cursed laughing, rubbing his head, yet he was quite interested in the matter.

The cultivation resources in his Storage Ring were enough for his temporary use, but they were finite after all.

If he wanted to break through to the next level, the resources needed were unimaginable.

If he could scavenge some resources from the Royal Secret Realm, it would be a fine opportunity.

Soon, someone came to report from outside.

The Gongsun Family and Mo Family Descendants had all arrived, with the number around two to three hundred.

Long Fei wasn’t surprised; these families and Sects have hundreds to thousands of direct descendants alone.

These two to three hundred people were probably the elite Disciples of their Sects.

He told Bald Dog and Ground Rat Demon King to do whatever they wanted and went to greet these skilled talents.

Lin Shanshan had already struck up a conversation with these people, and the two leading old men were Gongsun Tai and Nangong Bei.

As Long Fei approached, Lin Shanshan immediately pulled him over and shouted excitedly, "Brother-in-law, you’re really awesome, how did you manage to recruit these impressive people? Guess what their educational backgrounds are? A Doctor of Physics from Stanford University! And him, a Doctor of Chemistry from Oxford University, currently working at the American Institute of Biochemistry. He’s even more amazing, a graduate student mentor from Harvard University, specializing in paleobiology!"

Her expression was that of a fan meeting an idol.

For a second-year undergraduate student, it was normal to be excited and admiring when meeting people of such caliber.

Long Fei smiled and nodded at these young people; he hadn’t expected the Gongsun Family and Mo Family to have such deep backgrounds.

These young people looked at Long Fei with curiosity, arrogance, and some bewilderment.

They didn’t know why their families had suddenly asked them to put aside their work and return.

Some were involved in national-level projects, and being summoned back by their family at this time meant huge losses.

Among the over two hundred people present, the lowest academic qualification was a master’s degree.

Lin Shanshan asked around and was nearly dumbfounded.

Usually, these people couldn’t be hired even with money.

"Greetings, Master!"

With curious looks from everyone at Long Fei, Gongsun Tai and Nangong Bei stepped forward and bowed with fists in salute.

Their voices weren’t loud, but they carried throughout the vicinity.

Even those in the back row could hear everything clearly.

Indeed, the Clan Leaders of their families were calling this man, who looked even younger than them, "Master"?
