Chapter 2006 The Celestial's Estate
Emperor Feng heard the words of his daughter, and couldn't help but feel astounded.
"A Celestial Bloodline?!" Emperor Feng said in shock. "How did it appear in our family?" he couldn't help but ask before looking at Guang San.
"It is not from our clan either, Emperor." Guang San answered knowing what the man was thinking.
~chuckle~
The conversation made the Ever Spring Mistress let out a little laugh.
"The Plum Heaven Bloodline isn't something that is linked to one's genealogy. It is one of the 36 Heavenly Celestial bloodlines that only appear in those with great fortune." The Ever Spring Mistress stated. "In short, they are random. But all those that have it have great potential." She added.
"I see" Emperor Feng muttered as he recalled hearing something about the 36 Heavenly Celestial Bloodlines long ago in the past.
It was when he was a youth and had trained in the Immortal Court. He had gotten to learn about the Celestials for the first time back then, and also learned about those that had an innate talent of a celestial. Among those were those that had bloodlines that could do this.
Of course, other than a couple of 36 Heavenly Celestial bloodlines that his teachers had told him about, he didn't know about the others. They weren't part of the information that would normally be pa.s.sed onto Immortals after all. Besides, even if an immortal knew about them, there was little chance they would actually recognize these bloodlines.
In fact, just sensing them proved impossible unless one knew the method.
~huu~
Emperor Feng took a deep breath and calmed himself down before looking at the Ever Spring Mistress with grat.i.tude in his eyes.
"Honored Celestial, how can we repay this debt?" he asked.
"There is no debt." Ever Spring Mistress replied. "Just think of it as the blessing of the heavens and praise your ancestors for guiding you all until Meihua was born." She said.
"If you say so." Emperor Feng cupped his hands in grat.i.tude. "What will happen to Meihua though?" he asked, feeling curious.
Hearing this, the Ever Spring Mistress placed a finger on her chin.
"Let's see I'll let you guys have some time together before we leave." Ever Spring Mistress said before looking at the reddened eyes of Princess Feng Lan. "Though Meihua is young and as such would need a parent. I shall let one of you come with me. I'll allow you to stay with Meihua for ten years before you'll have to leave." She offered.
"Thank you, Ever Spring Mistress!" Princess Feng Lan said, feeling emotional.
She was very attached to Meihua and couldn't part with her easily. Even if she were to go into the protection of a Celestial and no harm would ever come to her, it was still a mother's anxiety that wouldn't go away. "My wife shall accompany you then." Guang San decided right away.
As the clan head, he wouldn't be able to leave anyway and Princess Feng Lan going was the better choice.
The mother merely nodded her head, having known this would happen.
"Let's go in. We can talk in comfort." Guang San said, bringing them all in. "Allow us to show our hospitality, Honored Celestial." He added.
With that said, the Ever Spring Mistress let it happen. "We do have quite a lot to talk about too." She spoke before explaining some things.
As the master of Meihua, there were other responsibilities and duties that she needed to carry out before she officially took her away. The Ever Spring Mistress decided that the Morning Glory Clan and the Dao Wind Imperial Family will have a cordial relations.h.i.+p with her and her personal estate. Much to everyone's surprise, the Ever Spring Mistress actually lived alone and did not create an organization of her own. At most, she had servants that took care of matters at her estate. Of course, what they didn't know was the fact that 'estate' meant an entirely different thing to the Ever Spring Mistress.
Her estate was not a manor or a courtyard. It wasn't even a city or a county it was an entire world!
The World she ruled over was named as the Ever Spring World after her and was apparently a barren world originally. But with her abilities, that world blossomed with life and was now filled with an everlasting spring. As her personal estate, there were no kingdoms or settlements on the Ever Spring World. She was the sole ruler and only some 'servants' worked for her there. These servants usually harvested the various resources that grew in the Ever Spring World and traded them with other worlds as well as the Celestial court.
The cordial relations.h.i.+p that she was talking about was related to this. Every year she would send over gifts to both the clans, as well as allow them to purchase certain resources that would not be available in an immortal world.
Hearing this, both Guang San and Emperor Feng were left shocked as well as pleased.
Emperor Feng even felt like his dream of becoming a Celestial might not be a dream after all. Though he still didn't know the exact method of doing that. The Ever Spring Mistress then talked about how Meihua would be brought up as well as her future designation. As her heir, she would eventually take over the Ever Spring World. Of course, with that said, there was no way Guang San would let go of this chance to declare Meihua as the future heir of the Morning Glory clan. Even if he were to have more children in the future, only Meihua would be the heir. There was no way he could let anyone else have it, as there wouldn't be anyone more qualified than her.
And when these conversations came to an end, the Ever Spring Mistress let them have some privacy.
"I have some things to attend to. I'll let you all talk in the meantime." She said and disappeared in a flurry of petals, showing some excitement on her face.
