What If I Can't Die?

373 Endless Troubles In The Future

Most importantly, she realized that she could not reject this suggestion. If she really had a son who could be the emperor, she would definitely not reject it.

As a member of the royal family, she was naturally fond of power. It was difficult for her to resist being the Empress Dowager of a country.

“Let’s go. Come with me and familiarize yourself with the environment of your in-laws’ house.”

Song Shi waved his hand and flew past the crowd. He glanced at Wu Xi and said, “It’s all your fault. I’m afraid we can’t play in the city anymore. Let’s go outside the city.”

“Wu Xi is too selfish.”

“There’s no need to apologize. I’ll punish you tonight.”

“You… you won’t let me marry over first?”

“Haven’t you heard that practice makes perfect?”

After a day of sightseeing in Jinzhou, Song Shi made it official with Wu Xi at night, adding another person to the family.

“Bring Xue’er and Yue’er over in a few days. The house will be livelier.”

Song Shi pondered.

Wu Xi lay in Song Shi’s arms with a flushed face. She blew on the fragrance and said, “Husband, the surrounding countries have more or less occupied some territories. They’re really taking advantage of our current weak state.”

“You haven’t even married him yet, and yet you are already trying to get me to do things What will happen in the future?”

Song Shi rolled his eyes at Wu Xi. “I’m just in charge of Jinzhou, Silken City. I’m not interested in other places. I’m not the Emperor of Great Qian.”

“Don’t you want our child to be the emperor in the future? You can’t lose the empire now.”

Wu Xi used Song Shi’s words to remind him.

“…”

Song Shi slapped himself. “Why is my mouth so cheap? What nonsense was I spouting?”

“Among the few countries, the Li Country is the most ferocious. They have already occupied the six northern provinces. If not for Father leading the army north, I’m afraid they would have invaded even more territories.”

Wu Xi’s slender fingers slid across Song Shi’s chest and a map of Great Qian appeared on her fingertips. As she mobilized her Nomological power, the light changed and evolved into the current situation of Great Qian vividly.

In the north, the Li Nation was aggressive. In the southwest, there was the Sword Nation hanging above their heads. In the west, there were the Wind and Thunder Nation. In the east, there was the Medicine Nation and the Water Nation to test the waters. In the northwest, there was the Sand Nation and the Li Nation. They all did not hold back.

The eight nations were on the move. It seemed like they were going to split the Great Qian Empire among themselves. The situation was indeed not optimistic.

Song Shi had a headache. He was still preparing to travel to the Heavenly Demon World. Why was there so much trouble in his hometown?

Looking at the map on his chest, Song Shi said coldly, “You’re creating momentum for me just to intimidate them?”

“Yes, the biggest trouble within the Sky Demon Cult has already been resolved. The danger now comes from the outside.”

Wu Xi smiled bitterly. “We don’t have any trump cards left.”

“I don’t want to move now. Let’s wait for a while.”

Song Shi was not in a hurry to make a move. He was not the caretaker of Great Qian and would attack whenever something happened.

“Then husband, please don’t mind me using your name to scare people.”

Wu Xi said coquettishly.

“Suit yourself. I don’t even care about my reputation. I like to talk with my fists.”

Song Shi shook his head.

“What about our marriage?” Wu Xi asked. She was actually in a hurry to marry into the Song family. When the time came, it would be justifiable.

“In half a month. When the time comes, we’ll have a few more women joining us. You guys can marry me together.”

Song Shi was prepared to settle the matter in one go.

“Then who’s older and younger in the family?” Wu Xi asked with a smile.

“All living beings are equal. There’s no difference in status. The rest is up to you.”

Song Shi stood up. “I’m going out to cultivate. I have to cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire outside.”

Taking a step into the sky, Song Shi bathed in the sunlight. He circulated his cultivation technique, and golden flames quickly appeared around him. The surrounding light gathered around him, turning into another sun.

The Supreme Yang True Fire continued to purify and began to attempt to transform into an even stronger spiritual fire.

Song Shi cultivated for a week. The true fire kept compressing and condensing, but he ultimately did not succeed.

It was not that he did not gain anything. Not only had his cultivation reached the perfected Nascent Soul realm, but he had also gradually fused the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Pure Yang Sutra, the Immortal Sutra, and the Sun-Moon Brilliance Art in the past few days.

Although the focus of different cultivation techniques was different, he only needed to circulate them at the same time to gather all his advantages.

The price of such cultivation was that it consumed a lot of resources. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was not enough at all. He could only satisfy it by taking out the spirit stones drawn from the system.

“There’s not enough Spiritual Qi in this world.”

After cultivating like this, Song Shi’s greatest takeaway was that the environment of this world could not satisfy his basic needs.

After darkness fell again, Song Shi thought about the transformation of the true fire and returned home from the sky.

Bai Xiaoqin had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. Bai Yu’er and Wu Xi, with one of them being a Demon Venerable, while the other was a princess, naturally, they did not know how to cook, so they were all helping out.

“After dinner, all of you come to the room. Let’s go together tonight.”

Song Shi’s words were shocking. He was prepared to call the three women over to cultivate with him.

Although he was still at the Nascent Soul realm, his foundation was actually comparable to the late-stage Soul Transformation realm. It was easy for him to carry three people.

The three girls looked at Song Shi one after another. Their faces were red, and their thoughts were all twisted.

“What are you thinking about? It’s for serious cultivation.”

Song Shi corrected him. “While I’m still in this world, I’ll help you guys increase your cultivation.”

“Young Master can be indecent too.” Bai Yu’er’s eyes were like silk as she deliberately teased him.

“Am I that kind of person?”

Song Shi pursed his lips. “When I break through, I’ll bring Xue’er and Yaoyue back. The six of us will cultivate together.”

“Young Master is so bad.”

Bai Yu’er chuckled.

“Let’s eat, let’s eat. Although we don’t need to eat anymore, since we’re family, we still have to have dinner. Only then will we feel like we are at home.”

Song Shi walked to the dining table. This was a rule he had set.

While eating, Wu Xi received a message and immediately became a little distracted.

Song Shi frowned. “Don’t think so much in a day. After all, how can a Golden Core cultivator like you solve the matters of a country alone? You’ve done enough.”

“Thank you for your concern, husband. I’m worried about a big matter. Something happened in the Heavenly Prison. The impact is quite big.”

Wu Xi sighed.

“What else happened in the Heavenly Prison?”

Song Shi was puzzled. “The biggest problem was killed by me. What other problems are there?”

“The Heavenly Prison is actually not only the place where the Heavenly Demon World is sealed, but there’s also a spatial passageway that connects to the Heavenly Demon World. I don’t know if the passageway has been widened by the Sky Demon Saint or something, but Demonic Qi is constantly surging out of that passageway. Even repairing the Array Formation can’t seal it.”

Wu Xi smiled bitterly. “If this continues, the entire Imperial City will become a demonic land.”

“Even the Heavenly Prison’s Eight Gates Spirit Suppression Array can’t suppress it?”

Song Shi’s expression turned solemn. “Then this is not a matter of a city. It might affect the entire continent. It’s even possible that the Heavenly Demon World will invade again like in the ancient times.”

“If that’s the case, who can stop the demon army?”

Bai Yu’er’s expression changed. “Young Master, why don’t we think of a way to leave this world? With our strength, we should be able to bring our sisters to the Black Spirit Realm.”

“It’s not that bad yet.”

Song Shi shook his head and frowned. “Sigh, the matter of the Sky Demon Saint escaping was really troublesome. I was too foolish back then.”

He felt that this matter was like a domino sequence that had been pushed over and could not be stopped, causing him endless troubles in the future.

“It’s not your fault. Back then, you didn’t know that there was a Sky Demon Saint in the Heavenly Prison. Even if you were responsible, it was because we caught Sister Qin’er and forced you here.”

Wu Xi comforted him.

“I know, but since it’s related to me, I have to deal with it as much as possible.”

Song Shi’s expression returned to normal. He had already thought of a solution.
