MEIWITA Chapter 626: Ming Xiu’s Identity

Zhong’zhou Ming Palace.

Purple-gold auspicious clouds gathered over a palace, and the auspicious birds of the Ming Palace circled around the clouds. Such a sudden anomalous phenomena attracted the attention of many people.

In a luxurious palace, a handsome middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were dyed with deep joy, and he murmured: “Xiu’er’s returned!”

In a celestial-land-like courtyard, three young men wearing golden crowns were drinking wine together.

Seeing the anomalous phenomena appearing in the sky in the distance, an older-lookinh man narrowed his eyes and said: “That treasure of father’s has returned.”

“Isn’t this something that had long been expected?” A purple-clothed man smiled playfully: “With ninth younger brother’s return, the palace is going to be ‘lively’ again.”

“Indeed, with ninth younger brother’s smooth return, I’ll see how second brother and them jump about.” A young man, the youngest, chuckled, but the smile didn’t reach the depths of his eyes.

“As expected of ninth younger brother who’s the only direct son with the purest bloodline among father’s son in the Ming Palace Royal Clan. Among us siblings, only he could attract such auspicious anomalous phenomena upon return.” The purple-clothed man’s eyes were calm, unable to see merriment or anger.

The older man smiled self-deprecatingly: “Nineth brother is the only son of the former Empress. Even if he’s known as an inauspicious trash, father wouldn’t give up on him.”

What was more, Ming Xiu had excelling talents since he was born, and he also possessed the most talented bloodline among them brothers.

Who in the Ming Palace didn’t know that the former Empress was the most beloved woman of Emperor Ming, and she died for Emperor Ming that year, at the most beautiful age, leaving behind an indelible, precious memory within Emperor Ming’s heart.

From the day the former Empress died, Emperor Ming had never set foot in the harem again, and even made an oath that he wouldn’t crown anyone else as Empress in his life.

Ming Xiu was also conferred the title of Monarch Ming from the moment he was born, and he was also the only one among the princes who was conferred the title of ‘Monarch’. They, princes who were only conferred the title of ‘King”, were already inferior in status.

Ming Xiu was also the only one among the royal family in the Ming Palace who dared to not give face to Emperor Ming.

Which one of the other princes didn’t either fear or flatter Emperor Ming—only Ming Xiu had a casual and fearless attitude towards Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming treated other princes with indifference and coldness, and only in front of Ming Xiu would he act like a normal father.

Emperor Ming was the person with the most unfathomable cultivation among the royal family of the Human Realm’s Ming Palace Royal Clan. After the death of the previous Empress, he restrained his gentleness and elegance and began to act swiftly and resolutely without fear.

His methods were ruthless and rampant, and he washed the Ming Palace Royal Clan with blood, but no one dared to touch what was considered his ‘dragon’s reversed scale’.

All of them brothers were jealous, envious, yet also helpless towards Ming Xiu, but none of them dared to show any real intent to kill him. At most, they’d just play some small tricks behind his back to cause him some trouble.

Otherwise, the first person to not spare them and their clans behind them would be their own father who they could never figure out.

Two hours later, a flamboyantly dressed red-clothed, handsome young man approached the most mysterious and low-profile palace.

“Paying respects to Your Highness the Ninth Prince!”

As soon as he entered the palace, the guards and maids in the hall knelt down respectfully.

“Rise.” He said lazily and casually in a devilish voice, then disappeared into the hall.

A moment later, he appeared in a secret room filled with restrictions in the main hall.

Sitting cross-legged in the secret room was a man wearing an apricot-yellow prince’s robe who looked exactly like Ming Xiu.

“You’ve finally returned.” When he saw the man in red, he looked up with pleasant surprise in his eyes.

Ming Xiu looked at him indifferently, his eyes filled with coldness, “It’ll be fine not having a second incarnation who’s been poisoned by gu, wanting to kill the master.”

The man in the apricot-yellow clothes stared wide-eyed, obviously not expecting his original body to discover this secret. His expression was sullen, and there was a bit of madness in his eyes: “Since you know, then today’s your death day. This Monarch will completely replace you and remain in the Ming Palace to become the most honourable Ninth Prince.”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Ming Xiu’s reaction, he immediately turned into yellow smoke and entered Ming Xiu’s sea of consciousness, intending to occupy his body.

There was a hint of ridicule on Ming Xiu’s lips. When the second incarnation wanted to completely devour his soul and become the owner, a gold-plated seal suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness and pressured heavily.

“AH!!” The second incarnation let out a scream of disbelief and was completely annihilated in his sea of consciousness.

Immediately, he released his natal spirit flame to envelope the ball of yellow smoke. Then after a long time, a drop of golden liquid fell in his sea of consciousness, and the gu curse was completely eliminated by the spirit flame.

With a thought, the sea of consciousness and that drop of golden liquid gradually merged.

After the drop of golden liquid was completely refined by him, he released the pure elemental energy he had suppressed in his dan’tian.

A month later, when Ming Xiu opened his eyes again, his cultivation had directly broken through from Core Elemental Realm to Earth Elemental Realm.

Long Yao’s figure appeared, faintly discernible. He looked at Ming Xiu and said: “I haven’t found any news about Female Owner.”

“Is there no trace of her appearance in every reception platform in the Human Realm?” Ming Xiu furrowed his brows and asked.

“They’ve all been checked, nothing.” Long Yao thought for a while and said: “The spatial node has been changed, so Female Owner may have been teleported to one of the other four States.”

The Human Realm was extremely vast. Even if the forces of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance were spread throughout, it’d still take a lot of time to find Lou Mu Yan.

It’d be even more difficult to search if the location of her ascension was in a remote place on the four states.

Ming Xiu looked into the distance with a deep gaze and sighed heavily: “Use the power of the secret unit of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance. We must find out Yan’er’s whereabouts as soon as possible.”

Then he said cautiously: “We can’t let anyone in the Ming Palace know about our search for Yan’er.”

His second incarnation was tampered with in a very secretive way. If it wasn’t for the gilded soul seal divine tool his old man gave him, it would’ve probably been difficult for him to discover the deeply hidden gu curse.

To think there was someone who dared to tamper with his second incarnation in an attempt to control his original body. He wouldn’t feel at ease if he couldn’t find that person or force.

Although his cultivation base rose to Earth Elemental Realm, but it still wasn’t enough. Only when the danger lurking around him was eliminated did he dare to expose Lou Mu Yan.

He would clear away any obstacles that would endanger Lou Mu Yan’s life. He just didn’t know when they’d meet again.

He touched the position of his heart. His longing for her had grown so crazy that it was about to overflow from his chest in discomfort.

“I understand.” Long Yao nodded, paused, then said: “By the way, Emperor Ming has been sending communications to summon you the entire time.”

Ming Xiu’s deep eyes revealed some warmth, and he said with a faint smile: “Let that old man wait a little longer.”

Long Yao couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his lips. Emperor Ming seemed to have nothing to do with the words ‘old man’.

Although the normal lifespan of humans wasn’t as long as the demon race, but judging from Emperor Ming’s cultivation base and its corresponding age, Emperor Ming was definitely still in his prime.

Each time he heard Ming Xiu call Emperor Ming ‘old man’, he felt terrified.

That domineering and arrogant man was someone that even the superior members of their dragon race’s royal family were terrified of. In this world, only Ming Xiu dared call him an old man.

But this was also a manifestation of the deep love between father and son.
