like it so much!!"“...Now everyone understands the reasons why逍遙 loves rarities and unique editions, as these are invaluable items!And now, Xiao Ya feels that she should come and participate in this....Chapter 497: Sleeping King Rainy 1

"I'm not very clear either, but I can confirm that the Divine Farmer Scripture is only the initial part. Wang Yan Yu shook her head and said this; she had already mentioned it to Free-and-Easy before—when she recited the Divine Farmer Scripture, she also stated that there should be more after.

"I recently obtained a nameless cultivation technique with some missing parts. It seems like the Divine Farmer Scripture could continue from here. I'm not sure if this is the legitimate continuation, but its effect is still very good, allowing me to directly advance from King Rank to Emperor Rank." Free-and-Easy looked at Wang Yan Yu as he took a sip of tea she had brewed. The tea was fragrant and though it wasn't top-tier, it left an endless aftertaste.

"What cultivation technique Recite it for me to hear; I might have seen it before." Wang Yan Yu immediately said. She had read too many books—many were nameless, and there were numerous incomplete ones. Even she didn't know where these books came from.

"Alright then, let me recite it…" Free-and-Easy nodded as he started to chant the unnamed cultivation technique, filling in some of its missing parts himself. He explained what was added too; if anyone else heard this, they wouldn’t understand his meaning, but Wang Yan Yu had no trouble at all.

"This cultivation technique feels very familiar…" Wang Yan Yu frowned. She seemed to have come across a similar cultivation technique or seen part of it before.

Seeing Wang Yan Yu like this made Free-and-Easy extremely happy; she must have some clues on her, and if she had nothing at all, there would be no clue whatsoever.

"I remember. This cultivation technique's philosophy is very similar to a certain cultivation technique from the Free-and-Easy Sect," Wang Yan Yu said.

“Free-and-Easy Sect” Free-and-Easy frowned slightly.

"Yes, the Free-and-Easy Sect. The sect is quite strange; it has many branches and different styles of martial arts and cultivation techniques among them. They’re completely different from each other without any connection." Wang Yan Yu said.

“I've heard about that before too; this is because everyone in the Free-and-Easy Sect operates independently. Even their sect leaders don't exist, as they are all free spirits who came together to form the sect. This isn’t abnormal, and most of their cultivation techniques and martial arts come from outside sources, brought by members joining the sect, so their methods are quite chaotic with little connection between different branches,” Free-and-Easy replied.

“Yes, that’s how strange the Free-and-Easy Sect is. But this is typical for demonic sects; they all act freely and usually only represent themselves, never representing the sect. They generally cooperate when there's an external threat.” Wang Yan Yu said.

"What cultivation technique were you talking about" Free-and-Easy asked.

“It’s called the Free-and-Easy Decision; this is a cultivation technique originally from the Free-and-Easy Sect. However, in recent times, it's rather strange that none of their martial arts are being practiced. It’s said to be because these original techniques are too difficult to cultivate,” Wang Yan Yu explained.

“Do you know what’s inside this Free-and-Easy Decision” asked Free-and-Easy. This was key; if he knew, then it would allow him to verify.

"I don't know that. They didn’t let me look at the original manual. If you ask about other sects’ methods, I might have some knowledge," Wang Yan Yu said while shaking her head.

“Queen, can you introduce me to the Free-and-Easy Sect I want to join it,” Free-and-Easy said.

"Huh You want to join the Free-and-Easy Sect" Wang Yan Yu was taken aback. "Think carefully; this is a demonic sect. If you join, righteous sect members will definitely reject you. Though they won't go as far as the dark path to exterminate you, it's not a pleasant experience," she warned.

"I don’t care what the righteous sects think. I’m not going to live with them anyway; this Free-and-Easy Sect suits me just fine. My name is also Free-and-Easy!" Free-and-Easy said nonchalantly, as if his reason for joining the Free-and-Easy Sect was simply the name.

"That's true. Your personality doesn't care about others' opinions, which is similar to those in demonic sects. You act according to your heart rather than principles, something that also aligns with demonic sect values. However, you don’t need to join a demonic sect for this reason. Although you fit the Free-and-Easy Sect well, you can also thrive in righteous sects; joining our Great Virtue Gate would be best," Wang Yan Yu said with a smile.

As she said, apart from the dark path, Free-and-Easy was suitable both for righteousness and evil. He was someone who could switch between being righteous and demonic as needed.

"If I don’t join the Free-and-Easy Sect, will they show me their cultivation techniques" Free-and-Easy asked in return.

“That’s unlikely; even with my connections, it's not possible. So if you want to see that manual, you probably have to join them,” Wang Yan Yu frowned.

"Not necessarily. I just like the name!" Free-and-Easy said casually, as if his intention was merely because of its name.

“Didn't you just say you wanted to see it Why isn’t this necessary now” asked Wang Yan Yu.

“My current techniques can already be refined up to the god realm, and when I reach there, who knows how long it will take. Perhaps I’ll have another revelation of a new technique then. So seeing that manual is not essential,” Free-and-Easy answered.

"Oh, right; with your talent, you'll still need at least two or three decades to reach the god realm. Once there, cultivation techniques won’t be as crucial anyway," Wang Yan Yu nodded and said. After reaching the god realm, if he wanted to see the Free-and-Easy Decision, joining the sect would immediately allow him access.

The Free-and-Easy Decision was off-limits to outsiders, but those with some status within could easily come across it; a god realm existence would always have a certain standing.

“So, for its name’s sake, I’ll still go there,”

"..." Wang Yanyu wanted to scold Xiaoyao.

After that, as usual, Xiaoyao and Wang Yanyu talked until late at night. Eventually, Wang Yanyu fell asleep while talking, and initially, Xiaoyao was going to say goodnight but then realized something wasn't right.

How could Wang Yanyu fall asleep She never slept before; did someone cure her illness during this period of time It must have happened because it had been more than half a year since they were apart, and anything might have happened in between, including the possibility that she got better.

Xiaoyao carefully carried Wang Yanyu into his inner room, placed her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then went outside to meditate and keep watch over her sleep.

Wang Yanyu slept very deeply for this whole night and continued sleeping for seven days without waking up. This long rest seemed like she was trying to make up for past lost sleep.

Xiaoyao checked on her body; there were no abnormalities, only that she had been too tired after not sleeping for so many years. So let her continue resting.

During these seven days, the Lu family completed most of their royal power transfer and some people in the clan became potential successors. The head of the family's succession right was also the royal succession right; otherwise, it would cause unnecessary trouble if they were separate.

Of course, being a king didn't necessarily mean doing everything personally; one could delegate tasks to others.

Xiaoyao naturally had no claim on this inheritance because he refused to change his surname. Lu Yunqing and the Third Master had discussed this with Xiaoyao these past few days, but Xiaoyao still disagreed.

Therefore, for now, Xiaoyao didn't have any inheritance rights. If he changed his mind one day, he could gain them. The head of the family's position was always held by capable people; as an outstanding person in this generation, regardless of military prowess, Xiaoyao could be the head even at the Imperial level.

The head of the family wasn't determined solely by martial arts strength, but it also couldn't be too low or else controlling things would become difficult.

However, although they didn't give Xiaoyao inheritance rights, they did grant him a prince title—Prince Xiaoyao.

Of course, these titles of princes and princesses were nominal; almost the same as young masters and mistresses. The Lu family now had countless princes and princesses, which was fair because even those without inheritance rights could be called such.

Xiaoyao saw Lingyu and others and would call them Princess, while they'd address Xiaoyao as Prince Xiaoyao. Everyone seemed to find this amusing for the time being; however, after some time, no one might continue using these titles.

The Lu family's management didn't intervene in this matter, considering it just a youthful novelty. Even if people continued with such titles, there was nothing wrong since they were originally like that.

"Hey, isn't this Prince Xiaoyao What are you still doing here" Lingling ran over and smiled at Xiaoyao.

"Princess Lingling, what do you want from this prince" Xiaoyao said with a smile, feeling natural about the title without thinking it inappropriate.

"It's not that I need you. Just letting you know Uncle is going to ascend to the throne at noon. Would you like to attend the ceremony" Lingling asked; it was still an hour before noon, but some people were already waiting there for things to start.

"No thanks, this kind of setting doesn't suit me." Xiaoyao rejected.

"How could it not You're Prince Xiaoyao after all." Lingling said with a smile.

"Go away, there are too many princes around here. I'm not important." Xiaoyao replied.

"You really won't come"

"Yeah!"

Lingling looked at Xiaoyao and asked: "Are you worried about the woman inside"

Xiaoyao was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lingling to ask this. He shook his head and said: "She's just sleeping, what do I have to be concerned about I don't want to go because I feel like my presence would cause trouble."

"What does that mean" Lingling was a bit confused.

"Whenever I attend such events, some unpredictable incidents occur. So, it's better for me not to participate." Xiaoyao said with a smile, though the statement had an element of self-deprecation but also reflected reality since he did face problems during similar occasions before.

"Tch, that's no excuse; this time there definitely won't be any problem. Come with me, I'll protect you." Lingling said irritably and pulled Xiaoyao along., and the nearby people couldn't help but laugh. Did these two come here to perform a stand-up comedy act"Brother Tiao, don’t argue anymore! This person must be crazy; why not pay more" That flirtatio...
