997 Celestial Venerable Mus Manor (2/2)
Qin Mu smiled. ”Sister, how long have you been following her?”
They didn't reply to him directly. Instead, one of them giggled and said, ”Celestial Venerable Mu, you are shameless. You peeped on us bathing with the emperor's lady a few days ago, but you seem to have forgotten about it.”
Qin Mu blushed and didn't dare to ask again. He sneakily glanced at Divine King Lang Wo.
Divine King Lang Wo looked normal and unfazed.
Shu Jun was excited and asked, ”Sisters, which of the emperor's ladies was the one bathing on that day? Was it that Heavenly Lady Qiang from just now?”
Qin Mu's face was as black as iron.
They didn't dare to answer. If they answered, they would probably die.
When Qin Mu opened the door to Celestial Emperor's chambers of concubines twice at the Void Bridge then, a huge ruckus was caused already. The emperor's lady imposed a gag order and killed a bunch of gossiping palace maids. They were lucky to survive, which made them naturally worried about their circumstances.
Celestial Emperor's chambers of concubines was vast. The palace maids led them down alleyways to avoid people and sent them out through the back door.
Qin Mu looked back and whispered, ”There seems to be a lot of secrets hidden there…”
Divine King Lang Wo vaguely said, ”And a lot of bathing ladies too.”
Qin Mu didn't say another word.
Shu Jun nodded and said, ”When he opened the door then, he just so happened to see the emperor's lady and palace maids bathing. There were a lot of them, and their skin was really white.”
Qin Mu glanced at Shu Jun, and Shu Jun shivered as if he fell into an abyss.
Qin Mu smiled. ”Sister Divine King, this is the celestial heavens. You wanted to see your ancestral court. Now you got your wish, right?”
Divine King Lang Wo looked around and saw the light beams above the celestial heavens being funneled together. It was odd for her.
It was the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge that Qin Mu designed. She didn't recognize it.
There were several more times the number of Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges here than when Qin Mu left. Various worlds and heavens like Youdu and Xuandu were likely connected by it. It was convenient for everyone, as well as for the celestial heavens' rule!
Divine King Shu Jun shook his head. ”This is the celestial heavens of the ancient gods, not our ancestral court. Divine King Lang Wo was young then, so she likely hasn't gone there before. It's not here.”
Qin Mu was stunned as he asked, ”The celestial heavens isn't your ancestral court?”
Divine King Shu Jun shook his head. ”No.”
Divine King Lang Wo said, ”I also feel like it isn't. I heard from our spirit ancestors that the ancestral court was extremely vast and filled with holy mountains and rivers on top of ore deposits of divine creation rocks. There were countless other precious minerals too. Although this place is filled with riches, it doesn't seem like the ancestral court my spirit ancestors talked about.”
Qin Mu frowned. His first impression of the ancestral court of the masters of creation was the celestial heavens. However, it seemed that he was wrong.
”This should be the ancient Celestial Emperor's birthplace.”
Divine King Shu Jun sniffed around, saying, ”I sniffed the fellow's Great Dao smell. There are big secrets hidden in his birthplace. From what I smelled, his birthplace is somewhere in the chambers of concubines.”
Qin Mu looked at him peculiarly, thinking, 'The smell of Great Dao? He can smell that too? Could Shu Jun's nose be different from ours? However, if Celestial Emperor's birthplace is the chambers of concubines, it would be a shocking secret! If only one could enter the chambers to explore…”
He shook his head. Although Celestial Venerable Qiang harmoniously ordered people to send them out, it would be difficult to enter the place again.
'Fatty Dragon and Yan'er are still in the Vermillion Bird Palace. I should pick them up first.'
Qin Mu calculated and thought, 'I have no properties here, and I don't have money to buy one. It's quite troubling…'
He led the two of them to the temporary palace of South Deity in the celestial palace. She originally had her own celestial palace called the Vermillion Bird Palace. However, it was moved to the South Pole. She left behind only a temporary residential palace that shared the same name. However, it wasn't as vast as before, for it was a mere normal palace.
Qin Mu arrived and saw that it wasn't big. There was another palace beside it that was extravagant and extremely vast. It was Qi Xiayu's temporary palace in the south of the celestial heavens called the Loyalty Submission Palace. It meant submitting oneself to loyalty.
Due to how Red Deity Qi Xiayu wasn't the original Red Deity of the celestial heavens but one who paid allegiance to them during the battle to eradicate the High Emperor Celestial Heavens, her temporary palace was called the Loyalty Submission Palace.
The Loyalty Submission Palace was more extravagant and tall than the Vermillion Bird Palace.
Qin Mu arrived at the latter but saw that the palace was locked. He asked the god guarding it what happened, and he replied, ”Oh, it's Celestial Venerable Mu. Mistress Yan and Master Pi have already left and returned to your Celestial Venerable Residence.”
Qin Mu was shocked. ”Celestial Venerable Residence?”
”Do you not know about it?”
That god smiled. ”It was a gift to you from the emperor. It's in the Jade Capital. Please, follow me, I'll lead you all there.”
Qin Mu frowned, for he was unnerved. 'I am poor here. How can I upkeep a large property like a Celestial Venerable Residence? I should stay at the Jade Pool and live off Celestial Empress, or else I won't be able to pay for my daily expenses…”
That god sent them to the Celestial Venerable Mu Palace at the Jade Capital. They saw that it was extremely vast and luxurious, and there was a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps! It was like a small celestial palace!
Qin Mu was stunned. He soon heard Hu Ling'er's voice from within. ”Quickly, quickly! Decorate this place before Master returns… This is a Celestial Venerable Residence, and it should feel like one to not throw away Master's face. We don't lack money. Fatty Dragon, come over here, this is your palace…”
Qin Mu walked into the residence and heard Hu Ling'er's voice get closer. ”Do you prefer the place to be decorated like a dragon's nest or a qilin's cave? Do you need a chain to sleep? Do you want Eternal Peace's Heavenly Workers to build a pure gold chain for you?”
