104: Go intercept the bride!
Lin Ziyan covered his head, his face crestfallen after Mu Wuchen branded his divine consciousness onto him.
Now, he was no longer his own master; he couldn't even control his own life, forced to rely on others and obey their commands.
He had only been looking at books, drawing pictures, and providing benefits to all the old perverts in the world while making a living, so how did he end up in such a predicament?
"Let's go, take me to the peach tree you mentioned earlier."
"Yes, Grandpa."
"Change the way you address me; it sounds awkward."
Lin Ziyan was slightly startled, then immediately changed his address.
"Yes, Master."
Soon, the two appeared three thousand miles away.
Mu Wuchen looked at the empty courtyard, his eyes shadowed.
There was no fairy, no peach tree, only emptiness.
"You tricked me?"
At this, Lin Ziyan completely panicked. The peach tree was clearly there before, so why was it suddenly gone?
"M-Master, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to deceive you!"
"Ever since I accidentally saw that Peach Blossom Immortal, I've come here more than once to look for her, and the peach tree has always been here. But this time, I don't know what happened!"
Seeing that he wasn't lying, Mu Wuchen nodded and left with Lin Ziyan.
However, just after Mu Wuchen and Lin Ziyan left, a lush, leafy peach tree materialized out of thin air.
Beneath the peach tree, a classical-style woman in a pink dress slowly appeared.
The woman was like a celestial being, as fresh and lovely as a lotus emerging from water, her beauty not inferior to Su Meier's...
The classical-style woman gently stroked her chest and exhaled a breath, seemingly very nervous.
"What a terrifying aura. Fortunately, that person didn't discover me..."
At this moment, Mu Wuchen had already left with Lin Ziyan, but the corner of his mouth was slightly curved.
A recording crystal was being fiddled with in his hand.
Something out of the ordinary must indicate a demon. What Lin Ziyan said was so convincing, it was clearly not a lie, so how could he not have a backup plan?
The appearance of the peach tree and every movement of the pink-dressed woman beneath it had already been captured by his Heavenly Eye.
And through the Heavenly Eye, he easily obtained information about the pink-dressed woman.
[Tao Yao: Demon race, reincarnated Peach Blossom Immortal, currently no realm, has lost most of her memories, temporarily in a critical growth period]
"A peach tree demon?"
Looking at the introduction, Mu Wuchen murmured to himself.
The peach tree's youthfulness, its blazing splendor.
When a young man goes to his bride, it is fitting for the family.
Mu Wuchen immediately became interested.
But there was no need to rush...
At this time, the entire Celestial Tome Dynasty, with its countless lands, was adorned with lanterns and streamers, bustling with activity.
Mu Wuchen was slightly puzzled when he first arrived, but now it seemed it was for the princess's grand wedding.
"Tell me, what do you know about that imperial son-in-law and the princess?"
Hearing Mu Wuchen ask about this, Lin Ziyan immediately became interested.
"You don't know, our imperial son-in-law is a truly great figure! Don't let his youth deceive you; he knows everything from astronomy to geography, is incredibly talented, and his appearance is exceptionally handsome. The Celestial Tome Emperor once said that, apart from his cultivation, in terms of strategy and knowledge, he is the best in the entire Celestial Tome Dynasty!"
As he spoke, Lin Ziyan leaned in closer, speaking somewhat mysteriously.
"And I heard that he was the one who planned and quelled last year's rebellion by the vassal lords. Now, storytellers throughout the entire dynasty are telling his tales!"
"The future Great Emperor!" Lin Ziyan's face was filled with admiration.
Mu Wuchen looked at his unpromising expression, also feeling helpless.
It was likely that Lin Ziyan at this time still didn't know that he would become a Great Emperor in the future.
Right now, he probably still considered himself a good-for-nothing from the bottom of his heart.
According to Yang Yi, Lin Ziyan would become Emperor in one hundred thousand years. Such a speed should be considered average; although not comparable to peerless prodigies, it shouldn't be slow either.
Mu Wuchen had a faint feeling that whether Lin Ziyan's brush could depict a target depended on his own talent!
Simply put, it was a case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Depicting someone with lower talent than him was easy, but if the other party's talent was higher, he would find it difficult to draw. And when it came to a monstrous talent like Mu Wuchen, he wouldn't even have the courage to complete the drawing...
At the same time, after listening to Lin Ziyan's narration, Mu Wuchen vaguely felt that the imperial son-in-law was most likely the Son of Destiny.
He was not only skilled in both civil and military arts, able to compose poetry and prose, but also capable of commanding armies, quelling rebellions, and even using public opinion through storytellers to build momentum for himself!
By all accounts, he didn't seem like a native who grew up in a fantasy cultivation world.
"Tell me, what about that little princess?"
If that imperial son-in-law was the Son of Destiny, then the little princess was very likely the Son of Destiny's female lead, or at least a female supporting character!
Mu Wuchen had already experienced the benefits brought by Yun Li, Xiao Ziyan, and others; after taking them, his Destiny Value directly overflowed, and the pleasure involved was also excellent.
Moreover, as the female lead of a Son of Destiny, her character, talent, and appearance were often not bad.
Not to mention a female lead of destiny, even a minor villain like Nalan Yuruo had 2000 Destiny Value!
Hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Lin Ziyan became interested again.
He swallowed, then continued.
"I once accidentally saw the imperial son-in-law, but as for the princess, I've never seen her."
"However, I learned some things about the princess from my clients!"
"It is said that Princess Shuyun's full name is Yan Zijin, and she is incredibly beautiful, a national beauty. Not only is she beautiful, but her talent is also high, and she has inherited the special bloodline of the Celestial Tome imperial family. The Celestial Tome Emperor loves her the most!"
As he spoke, Lin Ziyan's face showed a longing expression.
After hearing his introduction, Mu Wuchen nodded slightly.
"Green, green the collar, long my heart."
"A day without seeing you, like three months."
Mu Wuchen thought to himself that the Celestial Tome Dynasty was indeed the Celestial Tome Dynasty.
Its literary foundation was indeed deeper; even the name of a peach tree spirit and a little princess were more refined than those in other dynasties.
"Let's go."
After listening to Lin Ziyan's narration, Mu Wuchen no longer hesitated, directly got up, and prepared to leave.
"Master, where are we going?"
Seeing Mu Wuchen suddenly about to leave, Lin Ziyan asked with some confusion.
Mu Wuchen smiled faintly, then spoke.
"To emulate Prime Minister Cao, and intercept the bride!"
Hearing Mu Wuchen's answer, Lin Ziyan's expression immediately brightened, and he actually showed his long-lost perverted smile.
"Ah, this is good, this is good!"
"Master, whose bride are we going to intercept?"
"We're going to intercept Princess Shuyun, Yan Zijin!"
Upon hearing Mu Wuchen mention Princess Shuyun's name, Lin Ziyan's body suddenly stiffened.
Immediately, a chill shot directly from Lin Ziyan's toes straight to the top of his head, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
Their crime would probably warrant the nine-clan package, right?
