Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 284 Gong Yuanzheng 71

Upon seeing the Cloud Lotus emanating ethereal mist, Xuan Yuan Chen paused for two seconds, realizing that this lotus was no ordinary flower.

Gong Yuanzheng: "This is the Cloud Lotus. As long as there is still a breath left, it can pull a person back from the brink of death, and the body will recover to a state of health even better than that of a normal person."

"Regular use can increase internal strength and break through stagnant martial arts skills."

Xuanyuan Chen knew this lotus flower was extraordinary, but he didn't know it was extraordinary in such a way that it meant he had an extra life!

He took the Izumo Lotus from Gong Yuanzheng and examined it carefully.

"Is it really as miraculous as you say?"

At this moment, Qingyue spoke up: "It's true. I've already taken one, and it does have these effects."

"Royal sister, can you still break through?" Xuan Yuan Chen moved to Qing Yue.

He remembered that his elder sister's martial arts skills had reached their peak. If she continued to cultivate, unless she broke through to the level of immortal cultivation described in the book, she would not be able to take another step forward.

Qingyue shook her head: "It's not my martial arts that broke through, it's my physical strength. It has indeed changed my physical resilience. You know, there are very few tonics that can replenish my body."

Xuan Yuan Chen was now completely convinced. As his elder sister's martial arts skills grew stronger, taking tonics was as ineffective as drinking water.

This Izumo Lotus can restore the Empress's body, so it must contain what Gong Yuanzheng mentioned.

"Does your palace have many Izumo Lotus flowers?"

Gong Yuanzheng said regretfully, "I accidentally discovered a few seeds a few years ago. It took several years to cultivate one flower. Now I have only cultivated seven flowers. Four flowers have been consumed, and I have brought the remaining three with me."

This was something Qingyue had instructed Gong Yuanzheng from the beginning: to ignore the flower left at the palace gate and not to reveal everything, but to keep it a secret.

Even if you know that the Izumo Lotus has been used, it's useless now; what's useful are the ones that haven't been used yet.

Gong Yuanzheng bent down and took out the two boxes containing the Cloud Lotus from the trunk.

Xuanyuan Chen opened the other two boxes; the three flowers looked exactly the same, extremely beautiful, and extremely useful.

"Can you cultivate the Cloud Lotus? I can offer a high price to buy it from your palace."

Gong Yuanzheng shook his head: "It can't be cultivated anymore. I've been searching for its seeds for many years, but I haven't found any. These are the last few plants."

Hear this.

Xuan Yuan Chen carefully closed the box. Such a treasure was now extinct; it was truly a pity.

These three flowers are now incredibly valuable, even beyond estimate.

However, having three flowers is also good. You could say he has three extra lives. Unless he dies of old age naturally, no one can cut off his life midway.

Three flowers would be a lot, and even if there were only one, he would be delighted, as he could use the Izumo Lotus to trick someone.

The Izumo Lotus alone is enough to show sincerity in marrying the princess.

Not to mention that his elder sister also has feelings for him. Even if she were the Princess Zhenguo, he would have to agree to the marriage.

Now that the Imperial Sister has reached this level, there's no need for arranged marriages between powerful families; family background is no longer important. What matters is personal ability.

Even if Gong Yuanzheng's family doesn't hold official positions, it's enough to make up for it; he has the potential to create so much more.

"As expected of the person my elder sister has chosen, the rumors of a young genius are true. Brother-in-law, you did not call me 'I' wrong."

"So, you've agreed?" Gong Yuanzheng asked with a look of surprise.

Xuanyuan Chen: "I agree. I have already chosen an auspicious day for you, which will be the ninth day of next month."

"Great, Qingqing, we passed the test." Gong Yuanzheng happily picked up Qingyue from the side.

Gong Shangjiao, Gong Zishang, and Princess Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were terrified.

I thought the wedding was going to fall through.

Qingyue glared at Xuanyuan Chen, then touched Gong Yuanzheng's little face: "Put me down, we're still in the main hall!"

"Oh, yes, yes."

Gong Yuanzheng put Qingyue down and lowered his head shyly, not daring to look up at them.

"Hahaha—!!" Xuan Yuanchen burst into laughter.

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes can see many things clearly, but his heart is very pure. No wonder the Empress has only taken notice of him now. He is truly a very good young man.

Qingyue: "Yuanzheng, tell Xiaochen about the remaining pills, so that he can broaden his horizons."

"There's more!?" Xuan Yuanchen's eyes widened in surprise.

He thought he had reached the end of the road with Izumo Chonglian, but he didn't expect there to be a surprise waiting for him.

“Your sister’s worth is not just these. He wants to use all his good things to ask you to marry me, so naturally he brought everything that the palace has.”

Qingyue smiled sweetly at Gong Yuanzheng.

“Yes, Qingqing deserves all the best things in the world.” Gong Yuanzheng looked back at her.

"We'll be all lovey-dovey later," Xuan Yuanchen interrupted the two, "Let's talk about that pill first."

Gong Yuanzheng first introduced his self-developed herbal extract and explained its uses to Xuan Yuanchen.

Xuanyuan Chen examined the tiny pill in his hand; such a small pill could cure all poisons.

Are the imperial physicians just sitting around doing nothing?!

They're so old and they still haven't figured it out. Gong Yuanzheng is only 20 years old, and his achievements are already unmatched by others. He has reached a height that ordinary people cannot climb.

"And this is cicada grass. It may not be of much use to you, but I brought some anyway."

Gong Yuanzheng took out the bottle of cicada grass from the bottom.

"What is its function?" Xuan Yuanchen asked.

Gong Yuanzheng replied, "It will put people into a state of apparent death for three days."

"It's useful, and very useful."

Xuan Yuanchen immediately picked up the bottle and looked at it. This medicine could handle a lot of things secretly!

The more Xuan Yuanchen looked at Gong Yuanzheng, the more satisfied he became. He really wanted to keep him by his side; he was simply too amazing.

Unfortunately, he wasn't bold enough to snatch someone from his elder sister's hands.

"Have you finished speaking?" Qingyue smiled kindly.

Xuan Yuan Chen, unaware of what would happen next, nodded repeatedly.

“Yuanzheng, you guys go outside and wait for me for a while. I need to have a good talk with Xiaochen.”

Qingyue bent her fingers, and the bones made a creaking sound that reached everyone's ears.

It's best not to let others see this and make a fool of themselves; the emperor's dignity must be preserved.

"Ok."

Gong Yuanzheng and the other three, along with Xi En, obediently pushed open the door and went out, then considerately closed the door behind them. Seeing Qing Yue's state, the emperor was in trouble.

By the time Xuanyuan Chen realized what was happening, only he and his elder sister were left in the main hall.

His Adam's apple bobbed twice as he swallowed.

"Your Highness...please don't act rashly..."

“You schemed against your own sister, you tricked your own sister. It’s been a while since I disciplined you, and you’ve been itching for a beating. Let me give you a good thrashing.”

Qingyue didn't give Xuanyuan Chen a chance to react and gave him a good beating.

Except for his face, he wasn't punched anywhere else.

"Ah—uh—!!!"

An uncontrollable scream rang out.

The person outside the door shrank back, clearly in pain just listening to it.
