Naturally, Song Zhong couldn't be rude to such a strong guy, so he hurriedly returned the favor with fists in his hands, and after a few polite words from both sides. Ao Tian let the three people in with a smile. Fortunately, Song Zhong had changed his clothes on the way here and no longer looked like he was being beaten by the Queen. Otherwise, he would be really embarrassed to enter this gorgeously decorated palace.
This True Water Palace is worthy of being the residence of ancient monks. Although the total area is not very large, it is full of restrictions. There are all kinds of decorations, including flowers, birds, insects, and fish, and most of them are made of spiritual objects. As soon as people enter, the rich spiritual energy will hit their faces. The fairy sounds are heard in the ears, the beautiful scenery is seen in the eyes, the fragrance of flowers is smelled in the nose, and the smooth and comfortable jade is stepped on under the feet. Being in the only place, the whole person feels extremely comfortable.
Song Zhong and others were finally led into the most luxurious hall of Zhenshui Palace by Ao Tian, which was dozens of feet square, with a giant crystal lamp over one foot above their heads. The four people didn't distinguish between guests and hosts, so they sat together casually, about ten feet apart. There is a small jade table in front of everyone, which is filled with various fruits and a pot of good wine. Although the quality of these things is obviously not as good as the spiritual fruits on the golden dragon boat, they are obviously extremely high-quality spiritual things, and they are still good things.
After everyone was done, Ao Tian asked about Song Zhong's origin. Lao Fang quickly introduced, emphasizing two points. One was that Song Zhong was a powerful Nascent Soul monk who had injured humans. He also had a discussion with Her Majesty the Queen. Of course, in order to put some money on Song Zhong’s face, Lao Fang Fang Ke didn't say how badly Song Zhong was beaten, but how the Queen praised Song Zhong.
As for another point, the queen named Song Zhong the crown prince and decided to give him Zhenshui Palace to become the crown prince's palace in the future.
Hearing the previous point, Ao Tian kept exclaiming, showing great appreciation. And after hearing the next point, as expected by Lao Fang, Ao Tian was not surprised at all, and did not show an angry look. Instead, he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, speaking of it, besides His Highness the Crown Prince, this True Water Palace , there really is no one else worthy of it!"
When Song Zhong saw him like this, he must be lying if he said he wasn't moved. After all, it was a place rented by someone. It would be unkind to drive someone away as soon as you came. Therefore, Song Zhong clasped his fists in an extremely polite manner and said, "I'm really sorry. I occupied this place as soon as I came here, but it cost you money. But don't worry, I can pay for the cost of renting this place this time. I promise not to let you It’s just a loss!”
"Hey!" When Ao Tian heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. How can I let you spend money? Although I, Ao Tian, am a poor old man, I can still get this little thing!"
"This~" Seeing that people were so polite, Song Zhong didn't know what to say.
However, Ao Tian did not give him a chance to continue and said directly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are here to give me face. If you give me something again, wouldn't it be a slap in my face? In the future, I will meet brothers from the Xuanwu lineage. , I am too embarrassed to see anyone? Can you please spare me?"
Seeing what Ao Tian said, Song Zhong naturally couldn't push the blame anymore, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Well, in that case, I will live with it. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely retaliate!"
This was what Ao Tian was waiting for. Although those things were valuable, no matter how valuable they were, they couldn't compare to the favor of this future great master!
However, although Ao Tian thought so, he said boldly: "Your Highness, you are too polite, you are too polite! Isn't it just a little thing? Don't take it to heart! Come, come, drink, drink!" With that, Ao Tian Tian took the initiative to respect Song Zhong and others.
Song Zhong and the others naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly picked up the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
After finishing the glass of wine, Ao Tian rolled his eyes and suddenly asked: "Your Highness is in such a hurry, did you bring any guards with you?"
"Guard?" Song Zhong heard this and immediately smiled bitterly: "This, not yet!"
"Ouch!" After hearing this, Ao Tian slapped his thigh and shouted: "With your status, how can you not have any guards to serve you?"
"This~" Song Zhong was startled by his sudden shout and didn't know what to say.
But Ao Tian directly rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Your Highness, what do you think of the little old man? If you don't dislike it, let the little old man be your housekeeper and bodyguard, right?"
"Ah?" After hearing this, Song Zhong was immediately stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "You, you, a sixth-level senior, work as my housekeeper, what is going on?"
"This is normal! You are a Xuangui from Hetu! Not to mention having a sixth-level butler, even a seventh- or eighth-level housekeeper is normal! Could it be that you don't like the little old man?" Ao Tian then asked anxiously Lao Fang on the side said: "Lao Fang, could you help me to say a word?"
Hearing this, Lao Fang showed an envious wry smile, then shook his head, and then said to Song Zhong: "Your Highness, Brother Ao is a down-to-earth man, loyal and reliable, and meticulous in his work. Anyway, it's not good if you don't have anyone around to take care of you, so I'll accept it. Him!"
Upon seeing this, Lei Shan'er on the side also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Uncle Ao is a good man. He often takes care of Shan'er. Please accept him! He must be a loyal and reliable person!"
When Song Zhong heard what they said, he couldn't help but feel strange. Why did they sound like being his housekeeper was a very honorable job
In fact, what Song Zhong didn't know was that this was really a beautiful job. You know, although Ao Tian is currently at level six, this is almost his limit. The chance that he can reach level seven is no more than one in ten. As for level eight, don’t even think about it if a miracle doesn’t happen.
However, it would be different if he hugged Song Zhong's thigh. With the potential of the Hetu Miao descendants, Song Zhong will almost certainly reach level nine or above within ten thousand years. By that time, people don't know how many super treasures of heaven and earth they can obtain in other realms. Just a few rewards will be enough to transform Ao Tian. At least level seven is not a problem, and level eight is not impossible. This is his only chance.
Although ten thousand years is a long time, as a member of the Black Turtle lineage, a long lifespan is a huge advantage. Even the most common turtles can live for hundreds of years. And it is not impossible for a guy like Ao Tian who is an accomplished practitioner to live tens of thousands of years. But now, he is only seven or eight thousand years old, and waiting for another ten thousand years is nothing.
That is to say, Song Zhong is young and not strong now, and there are no elders to look after him. Ao Tiantian had this opportunity to take advantage of him. If he waits until he reaches level seven or eight, a descendant like Ao Tian with impure blood and low potential will definitely be ignored even if he takes the initiative to come to him.
Ao Tian is worthy of being an old guy who has lived for thousands of years. He is thoughtful and considers the long term, so he took advantage of this opportunity to be Song Zhong's housekeeper at the expense of lowering his status. As for the bodyguard, forget it. Now he can barely fight, but when Song Zhong reaches level 7 or 8, he will face super masters, and his old bones will not be able to withstand the torture. But being a housekeeper is different. You are close to your master and have a good relationship. You are the first to think of the benefits, but you can stay away from war. Absolute beauty!
Although Song Zhong didn't quite understand the meaning of it, one thing was certain, that Ao Tian had indeed sincerely surrendered to him, and Lao Fang and Lei Shan'er also sincerely hoped that they could accept him. In this case, why would Song Zhong bother to be a villain? Anyway, if an old guy at the peak of Level 6 becomes his housekeeper, he will not suffer any loss no matter what.
Thinking of this, Song Zhong couldn't laugh or cry and said, "If senior is really willing, then I will have the audacity to agree?"
"Oh, that's great!" Ao Tian was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly flew to Song Zhong, knelt down on the ground, and shouted, "Old slave Ao Tian has seen my lord!"
"Get up!" Song Zhong hurriedly helped him up, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't call me lord, it sounds awkward, you'd better call me, call me young master!"
"But the young master is a common thing. If you don't like the title of lord, then you should call me your highness!" Ao Tian said hurriedly: "Anyway, you are also the legitimate crown prince of the East China Sea Empire!"
"Okay, okay, it's up to you!" Song Zhong said with a wave of his hand.
"Congratulations!" Lao Fang came over to congratulate Ao Tian. After all, being able to become a steward of the Emperor's descendant would definitely have a bright future. If Lao Fang hadn't already followed the Queen, he might have wanted to take away Ao Tian's position.
Ao Tian was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile: "Join us, rejoice together! Come on, come on, everyone, sit down again and let's have a drink!"
This time, Song Zhong was forced to take the main seat by Ao Tian. Lao Fang and Shan'er were in the guest seats, while Ao Tian was accompanied by the Prime Minister.
After a few people had a few more drinks. Song Zhong suddenly put down his wine glass and said, "Old Ao, may I ask where the fragments of the magical artifacts outside the Zhenshui Palace came from?"
"That!" Ao Tian immediately apologized and said with a smile: "My children and grandchildren paid filial piety on my birthday, so as to add to the joy. Why, does His Highness think it's not good? If that's the case, I'll just let them take it away!"
"No, no!" Song Zhong waved his hand and said, "I have great use for these fragments. I wonder if you can give them to me?"
"Oh, what are you talking about, Your Highness? The entire Zhenshui Palace, including the old slave, belongs to you. You can just take those fragments. There is no need to tell the old slave!" Ao Tian said hurriedly.
"Hehe!" Song Zhong smiled slightly and said, "It's better to say hello! Besides, these broken pieces are not enough. I wonder if there are more?"
"Of course!" When Ao Tian heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "These things are all trophies left after fighting with the human monks of the East China Sea Alliance. Because they are shiny and have strong spiritual energy, all of them are collected by the children. Get up and play. After the war between us and the guys from the East China Sea Alliance that lasted for thousands of years, I don’t know how many things there are! What you want, it’s just a matter of words!”
