Chapter 4: The White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art

Jiaotai Hall, another inner room.

Emperor Zhengyong had a gloomy expression. The flickering candlelight made his thin face look even uglier.

With a creaky sound, Wang Zhongyi pushed the door open and walked in.

"His Majesty."

"Is it settled?"

"That person has been sent in. I guess he is now..."

Wang Zhongyi was halfway through his words when Emperor Zhengyong said calmly, "For the sake of the Great Yu, I have no choice but to do this."

"A shadow... For the rest of your life, you can only be a shadow!"

"Even if it's his son..."

Wang Zhongyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured that no one else will know about this."

"I think after tonight, the rumors in the court will fade away. If the maid can really get pregnant, the rumors will be broken on their own."

"If I can give birth to a prince..."

Emperor Zhengyong glanced at him and said coldly: "Prince... If she can really give birth to a prince, he will be the next monarch of our Dayu Dynasty!"

"Then there will be no need for shadows to exist."

Wang Zhongyi immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Half an hour later, a eunuch from the Imperial Household Department called out at the door in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's almost time, you..."

"Ok?"

Wang Zhongyi rushed over and waved his hand to signal the eunuchs in the Jingshifang to retreat.

"Eunuch Wang, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty is in high spirits, there is no need to disturb him."

"Yes, Eunuch Wang."

After another half an hour, there was finally no movement in the room.

Wang Zhongyi nodded slightly, and the eunuch in the Imperial Household Department hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the time has come. The servants are coming in."

After getting familiar with the situation, several eunuchs came in one after another and wrapped Bihe up again.

Zheng Yi also looked a little embarrassed as he looked at the eunuchs and Bihe, whose face was flushed and full of shame.

"Your Majesty, do you want to stay or not?"

Zheng Yi then remembered that these were the rules for concubines to sleep with the emperor.

Only what is left... Of course it must be good things.

Before he could say anything, Wang Zhongyi said, "Of course we have to keep her. Send her back to the palace first."

"Yes!" The eunuch in the Imperial Household looked at Zheng Yi and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Then several people carried Bihe away and retreated quickly.

Soon, Zheng Yi and Wang Zhongyi were the only ones left in the room.

"Eunuch Wang, this..."

"How does it taste?"

Zheng Yi said awkwardly: "It's, it's okay..."

"This is a great blessing for you!" Wang Zhongyi said half-threateningly and half-enviously, "You can taste all the girls in the Heavenly Family in the future. This is a blessing that you will never get in your entire lifetime!"

"If you can give birth to a boy or girl, they will be the future crown prince or emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty!"

Zheng Yi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Wang. I will be loyal to Your Majesty for the rest of my life and I will never have second thoughts!"

"You are very smart... Only smart people can live longer."

Wang Zhongyi said: "Take a good rest, don't run around, and don't talk nonsense."

"Yes."

After Wang Zhongyi left, Zheng Yi's expression finally changed.

"Oh no...Giving birth to a child for the emperor, what the hell is this!"

"So did Emperor Zhengyong get kicked in the head by a donkey, or... is he a eunuch?"

Zheng Yi's mind turned, and he thought of the gossip he had heard in the palace during this period.

During the three years since he ascended the throne, he had only one empress and four concubines. He was diligent in state affairs and seldom went to the harem.

The most important thing is...Emperor Zhengyong is almost thirty years old, but he doesn’t have a child!
Even the princess... doesn't have it!

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengyong came up with such a method.

Let me complete the emperor's work on his behalf and sleep with the emperor's women!
Isn't this just a defiled harem?

Even if this matter doesn't get out, he will die sooner or later!
Regardless of the emperor's majesty, the royal family's reputation, or a man's face, he must die!

"When Bihe becomes pregnant, or gives birth to a child... at the latest, she gives birth to a prince. By then, I will definitely die!"

"But it's okay..." Zheng Yi forced himself to calm down, and his eyes began to become excited.

"If it was before, I might have no choice but to wait for death. But now, I seem to have figured out the function of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror..."

Just now, when he and Bihe completed the ceremony of coming of age, the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror in his mind finally moved!
Zheng Yi lay on the bed, his mind returning to its original state.

The Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror was still floating quietly, but the difference was that there were two strange auras lingering on the back of the mirror and were being gradually absorbed.

"What is this?"

Zheng Yi's tone was a little strange.

When he completed the coming-of-age ceremony with Bihe for the first time, he felt the vibration of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror in his mind.

He didn't pay attention at first and thought it was an illusion, so he pulled Bihe and did it again.

After it was done, there really was another strange aura that appeared in the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror!
"Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, Yin Yang Treasure Mirror... No wonder it's called Yin Yang, it turns out it's for women..."

"But what's the use of this?"

He held his breath and focused his attention on the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

Soon, with the integration of these two auras, the pattern on the back of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror became darker in color.

Then, lines of words appeared on the mirror of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

【Absorb pure Yin energy, lifespan +16. 】

[Absorbing pure Yin energy, learning the "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art". ]

[Absorbing Yin Qi, [White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art] internal strength +5. ]

[Absorbing Yin Qi, [White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art] internal strength +1. ]

"This……"

Zheng Yi blinked subconsciously. What the hell is this...

Life expectancy increased by 16 years?
And have you learned the "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art"?
Why is this name so strange?
White Lotus, White Lotus Sect?

Damn it...

The first rebellious sect in all the universe!
When it comes to rebellion, no one is as professional as them!

wrong……

I have the ability to study the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

Zheng Yi quickly calmed his mind and began to concentrate on observing the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

"Increased lifespan? And increased internal strength?"

"In other words, if I practice dual cultivation with a woman, I can increase my lifespan and gain the skills and inner strength that she practices?"

"But why was there 5 points of internal force the first time, but only 1 point the second time?"

"It only works for the first time, or virginity?"

"Doesn't that mean I just need to keep practicing dual cultivation with women?"

"Insufficient information, no way to find out..."

He suddenly said, "Mirror, mirror, can you show me my current strength? Just like the attributes in the game?"

The Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror seemed to understand what he meant. The mirror flashed again, and lines of words appeared on it.

[Owner: Zheng Yi]

【Talent: Yin and Yang】

【Lifespan: 24/58】

[Kung Fu: The first level of "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art" (6/100)]

[Overall strength: not good enough]

Looking at the instructions of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, Zheng Yi quickly figured out its use.

"58 lifespan points? That's because 16 points were added. Could it be that I can only live to 42 years old?"

"Damn! Such a short life."

"But I gained an extra 16 life points by relying on dual cultivation?"

"That is to say, every time we practice dual cultivation, I can gain benefits from the woman."

"But the benefits may be determined by the favorability of both parties, the current state, or the difficulty of the technique."

"The first time you gain longevity, the second time you only gain the internal energy of the technique."

Zheng Yi murmured, "It seems that I have the capital to resist. As long as I continue to practice dual cultivation, I can gain longevity and proficiency in martial arts!"

"Increase your lifespan, and immortality is in sight!"

"Mastery of martial arts... Then let's set a small goal first, and cultivate to the Grandmaster level first!"
