These 5 words sounded like claps of thunder in Long Zheng Yang's ears, and his body bounced up as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at Ye Wuchen in shock. Ye Wuchen was still smiling faintly. His calm gaze was like a pool of still water without any wind as he stared back at him. No one could remain calm after hearing the five words he had just uttered.
Ye Wuchen slowly stood up, and placed his hands behind his back as he walked to the centre of the hall, "Because I'm the Demonic Emperor, I can do many things that you can't even imagine. I'll fulfil all of my promises to you, and I'll protect Phoenix's safety. I'll help her maintain her authority in the Heavenly Dragon City, and even conquer the world!"
Beads of sweat had appeared on Long Zheng Yang's forehead, and they flowed down in streams. The sweat was ice-cold. From the trembling in his heart, he found that he didn't resist at all and believed those words. Ye Wuchen wasn't as blind as the rumours said, and he didn't seem weak at all.
It was as if winter had come, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze. After a long period of silence, Long Zheng Yang said, "As long as you can help me obtain Shui Mengchan, I'll do whatever you want."
Hearing these words, a look of disappointment flashed in Ye Wuchen's eyes. He turned around and calmly said, "Big brother Long, you're wrong about these two things. If you want something, whether it's a person, wealth, or power, you should fight for it with your own strength and effort. However, you want me to help you obtain Shui Mengchan, and I can't do that. Secondly, it's not that you'll do what I want. I've said so much to you today because you've done a great favour for me and Cher. It's me who's doing what you want, and not you who's doing what I want. This is because whether or not you agree today, it won't change the situation. "
Facing Long Zheng Yang's gaze, which was sometimes dim and sometimes complicated, Ye Wuchen slowly said, "I don't mind telling you that Shui Mengchan … is my woman! Even before your Imperial Father passed away, he was already one. "
Long Zheng Yang: "!!!"
"Because what you don't dare, I dare. So, I succeeded. So, do you want to try to take Shui Mengchan away from me? "Ye Wuchen said quietly.
His brain became muddle-headed, as if all the alcohol he had drunk had suddenly rushed up. It was a deep sense of powerlessness and an indescribable sorrow.
"Big brother Long, will you hate me for saying this?" Ye Wuchen sat in front of him and said with a sigh.
Long Zheng Yang raised his head and looked at him for a while before saying desolately, "Hate? Why hate? Although I'm the Crown Prince of a Kingdom, with your Evil Sect's power, destroying Tenryū Province would be as easy as flipping your hand. What difference is there between me and a normal person in your eyes? There's no need for you to tell me what your goal is … but not only did you tell me everything, you even told me who you are. That's because you treat me as a friend … the way you call me 'big brother Long' isn't fake at all … why should I hate you? What right do I have to hate you? "
Ye Wuchen shook his head and smiled, "Big brother Long, you praise me too much. Back then, if it wasn't for you and Elder Long, I, Ye Wuchen, and Cher might not be alive anymore. It's hard to repay you for saving my life, so how can I be ungrateful? "
Long Zheng Yang forced a smile and said, "My grandfather's eyes are like a god's, and what he said back then wasn't an exaggeration at all … for you to say that, I really don't need to worry about Phoenix anymore … Phoenix has been alone since she was young, and although she's naughty and mischievous, she's actually very pitiful. Being able to meet you is her greatest blessing, so I don't need to worry about her anymore … I've been to Qingzhou City before, and it's indeed like a fairyland. That place will definitely suit me."
"… Big brother Long, where you want to go, you should choose according to your heart. You don't need to force yourself. If you really want to go there, you can treat it as another part of your new life — — - Forget about your identity as the Crown Prince, and forget about your love for Shui Mengchan. Think of yourself as someone else. That way, everything you've been suppressing all these years will gradually disappear … in Qingzhou City, there aren't many people who practice martial arts, but there are many scholars, scholars, and beautiful women. With big brother Long's talent and temperament, you'll definitely be a dragon amongst men there. At that time, there will definitely be countless women who will admire you, and one of them will definitely be someone that big brother Long likes. Wuchen believes that in a very short period of time, big brother Long will slowly forget about Shui Mengchan. Even if you don't forget, there are some beautiful things that exist in your memories. Sometimes, it's better to keep them by your side. "
Long Zheng Yang's eyebrows slowly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Brother Ye, with your foresight and choice, how could it be wrong … hearing you say that, I can't wait to go there. You're right, life isn't meant to be perfect. There are some things that you can only see as beautiful, but memories that you can't touch will make your life easier. Power isn't what I want, and the palace will never be a place that suits me. Qingzhou City, perhaps after I go there, I'll never want to come back. "
The two of them raised their cups and clinked as they looked at each other and smiled.
After Long Zheng Yang left, Ye Wuchen watched as Long Zheng Yang's figure disappeared from his sight. Although he had tried to persuade Long Zheng Yang to forget about Shui Mengchan, he would never allow himself to give up on what he wanted. Instead, he treated it as an untouchable memory. He wasn't worried that Long Zheng Yang would reveal his identity as the Demonic Emperor. Although Long Zheng Yang hadn't said it explicitly, he knew that Long Zheng Yang had already promised him everything, and that he would do his best to help Long Huang 'er ascend to the throne.
Ye Wuchen waved his hand and turned around, his silver clothes and silver mask covering his body. He stretched out his right hand and summoned the pocket-sized girl, whose body was covered with a white light.
However, he didn't know if he was mistaken, but he felt that the incense stick in his hand was slightly bigger than before. Under this appearance, which seemed to be no different from before, her ability had also increased by the same amount as Ye Wuchen's ability had skyrocketed. Ye Wuchen was well aware of the extent to which her spatial energy had grown.
"Let's go, we're going to see an old friend." Ye Wuchen gave a strange smile.
Great Wind Kingdom, Tianfeng City, Imperial Study.
A white light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes, causing Feng Lie's face to pale. He almost jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted. He was too sensitive to this white light, which he had seen many times, because it signified the arrival of a person. Moreover, this person was the only person who could cause such a reaction in him.
After more than a month, the demon-like Demonic Emperor had once again appeared in front of him. Although Feng Lie forced himself to remain calm, the sound of his heartbeat was so loud that it could be heard. This was the person who caused him to fear and have nightmares. He was powerless to resist and even kneel down to beg for mercy.
"Evil … Demonic Emperor, what are you doing here again …" Feng Lie's voice was trembling uncontrollably.
Two pairs of eyes swept across Feng Lie's body, causing the swift and decisive Great Wind Emperor to almost fall back in fear. He sneered and said: "Feng Lie, you don't have to worry. This time, I'm here to tell you a piece of good news and let you do something that you've always dreamed of doing. You haven't forgotten what you said to me before, right? "
"What is it?" Although the Demonic Emperor said so, Feng Lie's heart still didn't relax. The shadow that he brought would never be erased in this lifetime.
"The Emperor of Tenryū Province, Long Yin, is dead." The Demonic Emperor said indifferently.
Feng Lie's pupils shrank slightly: "Long Yin is dead?"
Tianlong City and Tianfeng City were far apart. The news that Long Yin was stabbed to death by Lin Kuang last night had not yet reached the Great Wind Kingdom. Hearing this news, Feng Lie couldn't hide his shock.
"How he died, I believe you'll know soon, but it's not important." The Demonic Emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Long Yin is dead, and Tenryū Province is temporarily without a leader. In order to fight for and decide the throne, there may be chaos for a while. This is indeed a rare opportunity … What I want you to do is to send troops to the east as soon as possible, take Tenryū Province, and incorporate Tenryū Province into your Great Wind Kingdom's territory. With your Great Wind Kingdom's military strength, it won't take long to achieve this. Are you willing?! "
As the Demonic Emperor said, this was indeed something that Feng Lie wanted to do even in his dreams. If Long Yin really died, it would indeed be a great opportunity bestowed by the heavens. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked cautiously: "You … Why do you want me to attack Tenryū Province?"
"Hmph! My purpose is very simple. " The Demonic Emperor smiled eerily: "You, Feng Lie, are a good puppet. I will wait for you and help you conquer the world bit by bit. I will help you conquer Tianlong, Kui Shui, and Cang Lan Kingdoms, and make you the only king of Tianchen Continent … And you, the king, will always be my puppet. Do you understand what I mean? Hahahaha … "
In the midst of his arrogant laughter, a white light flashed across the Demonic Emperor's body, and he disappeared in front of Feng Lie.
Feng Lie, who was drenched in cold sweat, sat weakly on the chair, and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his trembling hands. The Demonic Emperor's meaning was very clear. He wanted to use his hands and the military strength of Great Wind Kingdom to rule the world, and the Demonic Emperor only needed to reap the benefits without sacrificing a single soldier.
But could Feng Lie refuse? He couldn't, and even if he could, he wouldn't.
Because becoming the only king was his life's wish. Even if he really could only be the Demonic Emperor's puppet forever, he was not willing to give up his pursuit. Moreover, the Demonic Emperor had clearly indicated that he would help him, and this made him unable to not be excited. With the strength of the Evil Sect, if they really helped him, it would undoubtedly be a great help.
The Demonic Emperor had a thorough understanding of Feng Lie's thoughts. Although he was forcing him, he would do it without any resistance. A storm was about to begin.
On the square in front of Tianlong Palace, there were officials, eunuchs, and palace maids kneeling neatly, all dressed in mourning clothes. Among them, Ye Nu, Ye Wei, and Hua Zhentian were in the line, and at the very front were the princes and princesses. All kinds of ear-piercing cries could be heard. Ye Wuchen floated in the sky, his gaze lingered on the crying Long Huang 'er for a long time, then he turned around and said quietly: "Let's put it off for a while, at least wait for her to calm down."
Then, his gaze turned cold, and he lightly gritted his teeth: "Then let's go and deal with those who deserve to die first!"
