Chapter 109 Shui Rou in a Dilemma
"Your Majesty is too kind. I am not worthy of being addressed in such a manner by Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, you can just call me Manager Shui."
After giving instructions to a group of chamber of commerce managers, Shui Rou stepped forward and smiled slightly.
Her beautiful eyes held a hint of disdain.
"Ugh!"
"Rou'er, what are you saying!"
"Your Shui family and my royal family have been friends for generations, and your aunt is the wife of my uncle. Our two families are as close as can be, like in-laws!"
The man speaking was a refined middle-aged man, dressed in a gleaming yellow robe.
He sported a small mustache and exuded an air of nobility in every gesture.
This is Murong Yunhe, the ruler of the Northern Wind Kingdom.
He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, his refined face filled with excitement, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
At this moment, Shui Rou, dressed in a light blue dress, exuded the unique charm of a young and beautiful woman with her upright and proud figure.
Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, with perfectly delicate eyebrows.
Her skin was snow-white and delicate, as captivating as spring snow.
The beautiful snow-capped peaks stand out proudly, while the flat belly is as gentle as a willow branch.
Her black hair was piled on top of her head, and the jade hairpin shimmered.
Every gesture she makes exudes a breathtakingly voluptuous charm!
So beautiful!
So beautiful! No wonder she's the head of the Shui family, Shui Rou!
My dear Rou'er!
He was incredibly excited inside, but on the surface, Murong Yunhe only showed a slight smile, appearing mature and composed.
"Rou'er, look what I've brought you."
With a mature and charming smile, Murong Yunhe gently opened the exquisite mahogany box in his hand.
Inside was a beautifully crafted hairpin that shimmered with luster.
"Rou'er, this is a fine hairpin that I had specially made for you by a royal guest."
"It contains the essence of water, which perfectly matches your attributes, Rou'er."
Murong Yunhe looked at Shui Rou, his eyes gleaming.
As expected of his Rou'er, she is impeccable!
She's as beautiful as a fairy!
Murong Yunhe liked him more and more the more he looked at him, and his love for him grew stronger with each glance.
This is the kind of revered queen mother he should be in the Northern Wind Kingdom!
As for whether the other party is a widow?
For the head of the Shui family, it doesn't exist.
The first partner chosen by each successive head of the Shui family, even if they didn't die, would be divorced.
There's no other reason than that his first Daoist partner was just a tool, a complete live-in son-in-law.
Its purpose is simply to produce exceptional offspring with the talent for water manipulation for the Shui family.
Because of the Shui family's special talent, their descendants will only be female.
Therefore, in order to maintain his daughter's exceptional talent in water sports.
The first Daoist partner of the Shui family patriarch must be a man with top-tier talent in water cultivation and also be handsome.
However, men with exceptional natural talent in water sports generally lack masculine vigor.
To put it simply, they're all effeminate men, hermaphrodites.
Shui Rou's first husband is unknown to others.
Murong Yunhe knew that after Shui Yue, who possessed the Water Spirit Body, was born, Shui Rou secretly killed her.
The reason is simple: this effeminate tool will never win Rou'er's heart and will only disgust her!
Only his second Daoist partner was the head of the Shui family, his true Daoist partner!
Shui Rou glanced at Murong Yunhe, smiled charmingly, and instructed the old steward to put it away casually.
"I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness."
Shui Rou bowed slightly, a hint of disdain and helplessness flashing in her eyes.
She couldn't refuse, after all, her Biyue Trading Company still needed to do business in the Northern Wind Kingdom.
"Haha, Rou'er, there's no need for thanks between us. This is all just what we should do."
After a hearty laugh, Murong Yunhe said with deep affection, "If Rou'er likes it, I can give her the entire land of my Northern Wind Kingdom."
"Rou'er, after all these years, you understand my feelings."
"Do you really want the hundreds of millions of people in my Northern Wind Kingdom to remain without a queen mother forever?"
After delivering the gifts, Murong Yunhe probed again.
Top-grade magical artifacts are extremely precious; this time, Rou'er will definitely agree!
Shui Rou's beautiful face darkened slightly.
She glanced at the other party and replied perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, my status is too lowly to sit in such an important position."
"Your Majesty, I still advise you to find another good man and not to be fixated on me, a widow."
Top quality hairpin.
Perhaps she would have been a little happy when she received it.
But ever since Elder Xu appeared, he has been providing top-grade magic weapons and an unlimited supply of Divine Refining Pills.
She felt that she no longer cared about those dozens or hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
In terms of sheer extravagance, this king was far inferior to Elder Xu, making Shui Rou shake her head inwardly.
The more I look at it, the more I feel...
"what?!"
"Rou'er! My feelings for you are truly sincere!!"
"If you marry into my royal family, I promise you that Shuiyue will be immediately granted the title of Grand Princess, and your Shui family will also have land for generations to come."
"Isn't it a good thing that our two families are now even closer through marriage?!"
Upon being rejected, Murong Yunhe panicked.
If it weren't for the disapproval of his family elders, he could have easily passed the throne to Shuiyue!
Shui Rou shook her head apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, please return. The business is busy, and I have important matters to attend to."
"Rou'er!"
Murong Yunhe's heart was bleeding.
He failed again!
But he will not give up; Rou'er is his dream!
It was his greatest pursuit besides the path to immortality!
"Hahaha!"
"King Murong, please step aside."
Xiao Muhe, who was watching Murong Yunhe stumble and fall with amusement, stepped forward with a big laugh and said, "Since Manager Shui disagrees, King Murong, don't be too sad."
"The king has countless beauties in his harem; it doesn't matter if he has one more or one less."
Having said that, he looked at Shui Rou with a gleam in his eyes, "Shopkeeper Shui, it's been a few days, and you've become even more beautiful!"
The two looked at Xiao Muhe, and Shui Rou's disdain deepened.
Murong Yunhe was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
That damn Xiao Muhe!
He had already heard in the past few days that this shameless scoundrel, just like him, was pursuing Rou'er!
As for the others, they are not a significant threat.
But Xiao Muhe, the new leader of the Polar Demon Sect and the number one talent in demonic cultivation, is his greatest threat!
"Haha, so it's Sect Leader Xiao. I didn't expect Sect Leader Xiao to know Rou'er as well." Murong Yunhe said with a forced smile.
He wanted to see what Xiao Muhe was capable of that could move Rou'er!
"This humble servant greets Sect Leader Xiao." Shui Rou gave a slight bow, her beautiful eyes containing a hint of disgust.
These past few days, Xiao Muhe has been coming to his place to buy things every day, his eyes fixed on her without any attempt to hide it.
Everyone's tired of seeing her.
She despised such lecherous and arrogant men the most.
Moreover, the other party didn't spend many spirit stones at all...
"No need for such formalities, shopkeeper."
Xiao Muhe's lips twitched slightly, revealing a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
Then, he opened the agarwood box, inside which was a golden pill.
"I came to see Manager Shui today because I want him to help me auction this Refining Spirit Pill."
"This pill was made by the Supreme Elder of my Polar Demon Sect, and it is quite rare."
"No matter how much the shopkeeper auctions, I, Xiao Muhe, will only accept one hundred high-grade spirit stones. The rest can be considered as a reward for the shopkeeper's hard work."
Xiao Muhe sneered inwardly.
Sending gifts directly?
How stupid Murong Yunhe is.
For a beautiful female cultivator of this caliber, a few dozen or even a hundred high-grade spirit stones are nothing.
He wants to gradually cultivate feelings for the other person; this is called "love grows over time"!
That's something a simpleton like Murong Yunhe could never understand.
Shui Rou looked at the low-quality Refining Spirit Pill and let out a soft sigh.
If the Refining Spirit Pill were graded, the other party's pill would be at most a mid-grade, while Elder Xu's was a top-grade!
At that moment, she thought of Elder Xu.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that this handsome old man was exactly her type...
"In that case, Sect Leader Xiao, there's no need for an auction. My Biyue Chamber of Commerce will simply accept it for one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
"Manager Li, bring the spirit stones."
After Shui Rou finished speaking, the old steward immediately took the wooden box and placed a storage bag containing one hundred spirit stones inside.
Xiao Muhe was completely dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, that fast?!"
Murong Yunhe chuckled beside him, his eyes full of mockery.
If you want to pursue Rou'er, maybe in your next life!
at this time.
A series of loud shouts came from downstairs at the Biyue Trading Company.
"Old dog Xu committed murder in the city and must be executed!!!"
"Blatantly violating the rules of my human race, he must be executed!!!"
"Only execution will appease public anger!!!"
"Old dog Xu, die!!!"
"Old dog Xu, die!!!"
The sound was deafening, with hundreds or even thousands of people shouting.
The three of them were slightly taken aback, and as if realizing something, they immediately went to the window to look.
At this moment, the most bustling cross street in Iron Curtain City downstairs was occupied by a huge crowd.
In the middle of the crowd, several cultivators held up a huge banner and led a group of cultivators to occupy the street and denounce Xu Xiao.
"This old dog must die! It's an outrage against heaven!!!"
"This is outrageous!!!"
"This is outrageous!!!"
"..."
