A rare magical miracle in the world

Chapter 585: Chapter 276: Women First by a Large Margin, Eat in Peace (Seeking Monthly Votes)_5

But Ying Muyao now was truly loyal to Bailuo, even though she still appeared as a strong independent woman, she would, just like her senior, consider it an honor to be Bailuo’s ultimate support upon his request.

Why refuse the family fortune that was now bestowed upon her?

“Xiao Wu!!”

Ying Muyao actually shared similar traits with Bailuo. To outsiders, she was extremely strict, but when it came to her own children, the Empress of the East couldn’t bear to scold or discipline them harshly.

However, Ying Muyao really didn’t understand why the usually obedient and sensible Gongsun Wu was acting so rebelliously now.

“My lord’s lord is not my lord.”

Uncle finally spoke up and clarified the relationship for everyone: “The citizens of the Eastern Empire are bound by your contracts, as well as Xiao Luo’s, but that’s just a physical restraint. Mentally, they do not acknowledge us.”

To put it simply, Bailuo could command Gongsun Wu to do things using the Miracle Power.

But even if her body complied, Gongsun Wu’s heart would grow even more resentful towards Bailuo.

You have secured their obedience, but not their hearts.

“This, I actually hadn’t considered.”

Rubbing her temples, Ying Muyao gave it some thought and realized that this was indeed the case.

For six thousand years, the Empress of the East fought alone in the Eastern Continent to establish the Eastern Empire and cultivated a vast array of talented officials and warriors.

But they didn’t know of Bailuo’s existence, nor were they aware that Ying Muyao was someone else’s Miracle Creature.

The source of the Miracle Power was Ying Baizhou, who was now known as Bailuo.

Yet the source of their undying loyalty was tied to Ying Muyao, having nothing to do with Bailuo.@@novelbin@@

Without using the Miracle Power to force her, if Bailuo told Gongsun Wu to die, she would only think of Bailuo as a fool.

But for the Empress of the East, one word would have Gongsun Wu prepared to die without any regret or complaint.

“What kind of family drama is this, and why do I feel like I’ve become the stepfather?”

Ying Muyao was the biological mother of the Eastern Empire, while Bailuo was the stepfather. It was only natural for the children of the household to be reluctant to accept him, even feeling animosity.

Because their mother had brought a man home without a word in advance and declared him their father.

That would be bothersome for anyone, wouldn’t it?

“Xiao Luo, can I call you Xiao Luo?”

“Of course, you’re my sister after all.”

Bailuo thus acknowledged their sibling relationship, no longer holding any grudges.

“This was my oversight.”

Ying Muyao was very vexed: “I thought that once you came back with me, the citizens of the Eastern Empire would immediately regard you as their king. Now it seems…”

If Bailuo were to go to the Eastern Empire now, or even let the Miracle Citizens become aware of his existence, a grand movement to overthrow the feudal system and usher in a new cultural revolution would immediately break out in the Eastern Empire.

The citizens of the Empire would never submit to the rule of the outsider Bailuo. They would rather die than surrender!!!

“I’ll decline this banquet.”

Ying Muyao took Gongsun Wu’s hand; the young woman was still visibly upset, her eyes fixated on Bailuo, fearful that he might take Ying Muyao away.

“I need to return to the Eastern Empire to stabilize the situation, and then figure out a way to resolve this issue.”

“I do have an idea.”

Uncle spoke up, and Ying Muyao asked eagerly: “What’s the plan?”

It was treacherous and cunning, but Ying Muyao had to admit that Uncle truly had the ability to shake her unwavering resolve to die if necessary.

The rumors about Saros on the Miracle New Continent were true; he was a capable man!

“It’s better to guide than to block. Instead of hiding it, why not tell them outright about this person.”

“But don’t say it’s Xiao Luo,” Uncle said. “What I mean is, don’t expose Xiao Luo’s identity just yet. Just let them know that you have a king.”

“That’s not a good idea either.”

Uncle tasted his own words and felt that this phrasing was inappropriate. Suddenly, an idea struck him: “Rather than calling him a king, why not say, a husband.”

“You mean…”

Ying Muyao looked towards Bailuo and shook her head, “How could that be, I, I’m his sister.”

Ying Muyao never considered the possibility of anything happening between her and Bailuo. Being confronted with such a suggestion by Uncle, she inexplicably felt a bit shy and annoyed.

“Just saying, it’s only words.”

Uncle, the experienced driver that he was, knew how to steer the conversation, showcasing his skill: “You’re the Female Emperor of the Eastern Empire, but an empress is still a woman, after all.”

“This lady, Miss Gongsun Wu.”

“Hm?”

“If your Majesty was to marry soon, what would you think?”

“Hmph!”

Gongsun Wu coldly snorted, “In this world, there’s no man worthy of my empress!”

Gongsun Wu: The Empress of the East is the best; no objections accepted!
