Not long ago, the Emperor gave them a secret decree, instructing them to secretly seek out folk experts to treat this hereditary disease of the royal family. If it can be cured, they can choose anything they like from the Emperor's treasury."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this; being able to choose freely from the Japanese Emperor's treasury was incredibly alluring because the emperor's collection was passed down from ancient times, containing many ancient artifacts.

Among them, there were treasures usable by spiritual cultivators, and if it really was a free choice, that would be wonderful.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What good things are there in the Japanese Emperor's treasury?"

Taiichi Kai said, "There are indeed many good things. Don't you like the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth? I know for sure that the Japanese Emperor's treasury contains the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, and there are even ancient elixir recipes; it is said that there is an elixir of immortality."

Ling Zhenfei was startled upon hearing this: "An elixir of immortality, is there really such an elixir?"

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Of course, back then Xu Fu traveled eastward in search of the elixir of immortality, and actually found it, but only the elixir recipe. However, in the end, he didn't return and instead established new territories in Japan, so the elixir recipe remained there."

To be honest, the elixir recipe was very enticing to Ling Zhenfei, but the matter wasn't that simple; who knew if there was some kind of trick involved.

"So what do you mean, you want me to help the Emperor's family and then get treasures from the treasury?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Brother Ling, don't you know the secret of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth? You shared that secret with us, and without getting anything, there's no point for us.

So if you can go to the Emperor and cure the Emperor's family's illness, then you can take whatever you want from the treasury, and we'll just take the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, nothing else. You can have the rest."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Let me go back and think about this matter properly."

"What is there to think about? The Emperor's family has been collecting items from the people since ancient times, and now they're finally ready to open the treasury. Who wouldn't want to seize this opportunity?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "The Japanese Emperor has never had real power, especially in ancient times. So I guess there aren't many good things in the treasury, so I need to consider this carefully."

"How much longer do you need to think? Time waits for no one." Kai Itta said.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You can tell the Emperor there's no need to wait for me; originally I didn't intend to go cure their illness."

Ling Zhenfei stood up and started to leave when Watanabe Kazushi asked, "Mr. Ling, how much longer will you need to decide?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "By tomorrow morning, I will have an answer for you."

After saying that, Ling Zhenfei walked out, feeling a burst of joy in his heart, having gained an extra day. Tonight, he would definitely send off Hoshino Junka and escape to safety himself.

At this thought, Ling Zhenfei felt his heartbeat quicken; escaping Watanabe Kazushi's pursuit was truly an excellent choice.

It was already noon, and the sunlight was quite good at this time. Watanabe Hideaki walked over in a beautiful evening gown; undeniably, she looked truly stunning in it.

The perfect figure was accentuated beautifully by the evening gown.

Ling Zhenfei greeted Watanabe Hideaki, "I never thought that after changing into another set of clothes, Hideaki would look so good."

Watanabe Hideaki laughed, did a twirl in front of Ling Zhenfei, and asked, "Do I really look good?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "This look is different from when you're in samurai attire; both are very beautiful as long as the foundation is good."

Watanabe Hideaki covered her mouth and laughed, "Big Brother Ling, you're making me feel embarrassed with your words. By the way, why have you come out? Did something happen?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Nothing happened, go on inside, I'm heading back."

Watanabe Hideaki looked slightly disappointed as she said, "Alright then, you go first; I'll go inside and then come out to find you shortly."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll prepare Ziling Fruit Salad and Heart-Talk Fruit drink while waiting for you."

"Really? That's great. Wait for me, I'll be there shortly."

With that, Watanabe Hideaki walked inside. Even wearing the evening gown, her walk retained a certain unique style of a warrior family woman.

Ling Zhenfei returned to his room and started to prepare a few dishes, all very simple: Stir-fried Ziling Fruit with eggs, vegetable salad, mixed Heart-Talk Fruit and Ziling Fruit Juice, and a cold dish of White Jade Lotus Root slices.

The dishes were ready soon, and Watanabe Hideaki arrived shortly after, jumping up in excitement upon seeing the food, revealing her inner foodie.

The two closed the door, and Ling Zhenfei used his northern spiritual energy to seal the room, ensuring their conversation wouldn't be overheard.

Sitting across from each other, Watanabe Hideaki first took a sip of the mixed Heart-Talk and Ziling Fruit Juice, unable to resist a compliment.

"This is delicious; the taste is a bit different from last time, yet the aftertaste is even better."

"No need to judge; just enjoy it."

Watanabe Hideaki smiled awkwardly, saying, "Indeed, there's nothing remarkable about my cooking skills compared to yours. However, with such good food, it would be even better if there was some wine."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Isn't too difficult to get some wine."

With a casual gesture, a bottle of wine appeared in his hand. Ling Zhenfei's Di Tian Shen Sui didn't contain much wine, but there were still a few bottles left; this time, a bottle of red wine appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand.

This bottle of red wine was a gift from Li Ru back when they were in the Capital City, and thinking about it, it shouldn't be bad since it was from Li Ru.

"Wow, Big Brother Ling, you're amazing, are you a magician, conjuring a bottle of wine out of thin air?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed; he had spatial treasures, but Watanabe Hideaki pretended not to know, looking at Ling Zhenfei with admiration.

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "That's right, I'm a magician, a very powerful one. Now let this magician pour the wine."

Ling Zhenfei opened the wine, just as he was about to pour it, Watanabe Hideaki laughed and said, "Great Magician, shouldn't we let the red wine breathe before drinking it?"

Ling Zhenfei didn't know much about red wine; previously, others always prepared it for him to drink.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's confused expression, Watanabe Hideaki said, "Otherwise, Mr. Magician, let me serve you."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and handed the wine to Watanabe Hideaki, who first found a decanter and then poured the wine into it, counting down to Ling Zhenfei: "Alright, let's let it breathe for a while, and then we can drink."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Didn't you run out of the small restaurant very quickly; won't there be any problem?"

Watanabe Hideaki said, "What problem could there be? It's already giving them enough face that I'm there at all. You saw Kai Masao earlier, right? Just thinking that I'll have to marry someone like that makes me uncomfortable."
