On the night that Ling Dong obtained the news of the Spirit Enslavement Bracelet from Great Emperor Yuan Feng, the new Great Emperor, Bi Pengcheng, personally reported the news to Ling Dong — Great Emperor Yuan Feng had died suddenly that night!
However, to Ling Dong's surprise, the way Great Emperor Yuan Feng chose to die was an extremely erotic and joyful way!
According to Bi Peng Cheng, Great Emperor Yuan Feng had asked for a bottle of Golden Spear Indestructible Pill that could be used for half a month. After all, Great Emperor Yuan Feng was old, and if he wanted to do it, he couldn't do it without the support of this kind of pill!
That night, Great Emperor Yuan Feng called over a dozen of his former concubines to play in the main hall. There were many scenes of a man fighting several women that night!
The valiant Great Emperor Yuan Feng fainted five of his concubines in a row before dying on the body of his most beloved concubine.
The cause of death was … aphrodisiac!
When he heard Bi Peng Cheng's report, Ling Dong smiled faintly and wasn't too surprised.
Actually, Great Emperor Yuan Feng's sudden death was the result of Ling Dong's hint to Great Emperor Yuan Feng. Bi Peng Cheng's biological father was already dead, so Ling Dong had no reason to leave Great Emperor Yuan Feng, who was extremely prestigious and powerful, to Bi Peng Cheng to be the retired emperor!
In that case, once Ling Dong left, Great Emperor Yuan Feng would be able to regain control of the empire in no time. After all, Bi Peng Cheng's foundation was too shallow!
When an Emperor died, it was natural to hold a national funeral. However, the coronation ceremony had just ended, and there were still many officials who came to congratulate him. Although the national funeral was a little troublesome, it was still very convenient. In any case, Ling Dong didn't have to worry about it!
What Ling Dong was really worried about was the previous dynasty's treasury, Star Plucking Tower. Especially the Soul Sucking Blood Tentacles in the treasury, Ling Dong was very anxious!
However, Ling Dong could not be too hasty. At the very least, he had to wait until the next day for Bi Pengcheng to arrange for the guards at Zhai Xing Lou to be removed and replaced with trusted family members. Only then would Ling Dong do so!
Moreover, due to the fact that the country was in mourning and the new emperor had just ascended the throne, the Imperial Capital was filled with all sorts of people. There were many spies, so they couldn't cause too much of a commotion to avoid attracting covetous eyes!
Early the next morning, Ling Dong made arrangements for this matter!
Although Ling Dong wasn't the Emperor now, his orders would definitely be more effective than the Emperor's! This was because all the civil and military officials of the Yaoguang Empire clearly knew who was behind Bi Pengcheng's rise to power!
Hence, upon receiving Ling Dong's orders, the guards of Zhai Xing Lou retreated at lightning speed! Ling Dong, on the other hand, brought Qiu Qingyi, Cat Spirit, and Dumb Wood Demon to Zhai Xing Lou in the corner of the palace!
Ling Dong intended to let Dumb Wood Demon take care of the outer defense matters. That fellow was the most suitable!
"Brother Ling, wait, someone wants to see you. It's an old acquaintance of yours!" Just as Ling Dong was about to go over with Qiu Qingyi to explore the treasury of the previous dynasty, Feng Xuelei, who had now become the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards and the Great Commander of the guards of the new emperor, Emperor Pengcheng, rushed over!
In the past half a month, Ling Dong had taken the time to completely heal Feng Xuelei's injuries. At the same time, Ling Dong also secretly gave Feng Xuelei and Feng Xuejiang two large balls of Rainbow Starlight each. Among them, Feng Xuejiang benefited the most!
Although the two large balls of Rainbow Starlight did not significantly improve Feng Xuelei, who had already condensed his Divine Soul Origin, Feng Xuelei was a discerning person. Naturally, he knew the value of the benefits that Ling Dong had given him and his brother. Hence, he became more and more grateful to Ling Dong!
However, their brotherly relationship had not changed!
Even though Ling Dong now had the power of the retired emperor of the Yaoguang Empire, when Feng Xuelei saw Ling Dong, he still addressed him with the affectionate tone that Ling Dong liked. "Brother Ling!"
Of course, according to Ling Dong's plan, the future Feng Xuelei was also an arrangement for Ling Dong to continue controlling the Yaoguang Empire! Ling Dong trusted Old Lei's character!
"Old acquaintance? Who is it? Who can pass the message to you? "Ling Dong was a little curious!
If Ling Dong and Feng Xuelei were still ordinary warriors, it would not be too difficult for ordinary people to see them. Even if there were a few guards at the door, they could only pass the message!
Now, Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi stayed in the palace all day long, and Feng Xuelei was also in a high position. Ordinary people could not see them even if they wanted to!
"Bright Sword Sect's Sect Leader Qiao is not only an old acquaintance of mine, but also an old acquaintance of yours, Brother Ling! If Sect Leader Qiao did not come to find me, and if it were someone else, I would not even have the face to pass the message, let alone pass the message! "Feng Xuelei said with a smile!
"Bright Sword Sect's Sect Leader Qiao, what is he doing here?" Ling Dong frowned!
Feng Xuelei snorted coldly. "What else can he be doing? Of course, he is looking for you to live a good life! A few days ago, didn't you give the order to purge a large number of the Imperial Family's disciples?
One of them has a marriage alliance with the Qiao Family! In the process of purging, the Qiao Family stopped it, so naturally, he will not have a good life now! Moreover, Sect Leader Qiao said that he has an extremely important matter to see you about! "
"Extremely important matter?" Ling Dong was surprised and said, "Since an old friend is here, let's meet!"
Hearing Ling Dong's agreement, Feng Xuelei smiled strangely. "Hey, Brother Ling, don't blame me for not reminding you. That Sect Leader Qiao brought his son and his granddaughter, Qiao Ruyan, here!
Tsk tsk, that Qiao Ruyan is beautiful. Although she can't compare to Sister Qiu, she has a seductive charm in her bones! What's worse is that Qiao Ruyan's strange temperament makes every man want to conquer her! "
Hearing Feng Xuelei's words, Ling Dong was not surprised. In his previous life, after breaking off the engagement, he had seen Qiao Ruyan once or twice. However, at that time, Qiao Ruyan was already a proud daughter of the heavens. Wherever she went, she would attract extremely hot gazes!
Just like what Feng Xuelei said, although Qiao Ruyan was not as beautiful as Qiu Qingyi, her temperament and her seductive charm would definitely make every man want to conquer her!
Feng Xue Lei's words caused Qiu Qingyi, who was at the side, to raise her eyebrows slightly. She looked around and stared at Ling Dong, but did not say anything!
Seeing this, Ling Dong suddenly came to his senses. He could not help but curse Feng Xuelei for being so talkative! Why did you mention Qiao Ruyan all of a sudden? Look at Beautiful Master, I'm afraid I have to bring her along!
"That's good too. Today, I'll bring Beautiful Master, this peerless beauty, over there and make her proud! I can't believe that Qiao Ruyan broke off the engagement in my previous life. I'm too ashamed to mention it …
In the Spring Fragrance Garden of the Imperial Palace, Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi had just arrived when they heard footsteps outside the garden!
"Greetings, Pill King Ling!"
"Master Qiao (Ruyan) greets Pill King Ling!" The moment they entered the Spring Fragrance Garden, Sect Leader Qiao, Mister Qiao, and the three generations of Qiao Ruyan's family hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ling Dong!
It was needless to say how careful they were. Even Qiao Ruyan, who had always been arrogant, bowed to Ling Dong. Moreover, the respect these three people had for Ling Dong was the kind that came from the bottom of their hearts!
Looking at the Qiao family who bowed in front of him but did not dare to stand up without his permission, Ling Dong suddenly felt a lot of emotions!
In his previous life, he wanted to meet Sect Leader Qiao, but he was chased out by his subordinates! Every time Mister Qiao saw Ling Dong, his eyes were filled with disgust as if he wanted to peel Ling Dong apart. Even in this life, Mister Qiao did not look Ling Dong in the eye when they met a few years ago in Nan Shan County!
Especially when Mister Qiao said, "Master Qiao of the Clear Sword Sect is here. The Ling, Zuo, and Feng Aristocratic Families, come and see me immediately!" His sword aura circled around Nanshan County with the intention of destroying it. With a wave of his hand, he was insufferably arrogant!
In the blink of an eye, Mister Qiao, who had once wanted to destroy Nanshan County, was bowing in front of Ling Dong. Even his father, Sect Leader Qiao, was doing the same!
As for his fiancée, Ling Dong did not hold much resentment towards her. However, when they met occasionally in his previous life, Qiao Ruyan's disdainful look when she saw Ling Dong had left a deep impression on Ling Dong!
At that moment in his previous life, Ling Dong wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in!
However, at this moment, everything was reversed!
Not to mention Ling Dong's status as the retired emperor of the Yaoguang Empire, just his identity as an Elixir King was enough for these people from the Clear Sword Sect to look up to!
After bowing, there was no movement for a long time. This made Sect Leader Qiao wonder if he had offended Elixir King Ling in some way. Qiao Ruyan, who was braver, quietly raised her head. Her misty eyes stole a glance at Ling Dong. Then, like a frightened bird, she lowered her head even more!
None of them expected that a few years ago, they had wanted to kick this kid in front of them out of the engagement!
However, a few years later, he had grown into an Elixir King that they looked up to! And his achievements were not limited to that!
When he thought of this, Mister Qiao's heart was filled with regret.
"Heh, no need to be so polite! Sect Leader Qiao, long time no see! "After Ling Dong chuckled, the three members of the Qiao Family finally dared to stand up. On the other hand, the experienced Sect Leader Qiao started chatting with Ling Dong about old times!
Only Mister Qiao's expression was a little awkward. It was all his fault! If it wasn't for him, the Qiao Family's status would be so high today!
However, Qiao Ruyan was biting her lips lightly. Looking at the legendary figure in front of her, her fiancé, she had an extremely complicated expression on her face!
Especially when Qiao Ruyan's gaze landed on Qiu Qingyi, who was holding onto Ling Dong's arm! What was especially strange was that it was supposed to be winter. Even if the back garden of the palace was well-maintained, there were very few flowers blooming!
But at this time, beside Qiu Qingyi, there was green grass and bright flowers. It was a picture of prosperity, which made Qiu Qingyi, who had become more beautiful under Ling Dong's nourishment these days, even more beautiful.
Looking from afar, the extremely beautiful Qiu Qing and Ling Dong were like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.
This scene made Qiao Ruyan's heart ache. A wave of jealousy rushed to her lips!
The one standing there should have been her, Qiao Ruyan!
This thought suddenly appeared in Qiao Ruyan's mind!
"Sect Leader Qiao, may I know why you came all the way here to see Ling?" After the greetings, Ling Dong took the initiative to talk business!
"Ahem!"
Sect Leader Qiao coughed and glared at Mister Qiao, who looked a little embarrassed!
Mister Qiao shivered when he heard his father's cough. At the same time, he bowed again to Ling Dong and said, "Elixir King Ling, Ruyan is not young anymore. So I thought that I would send her over to serve you first. What do you think?"
