Chapter 749: Chapter 748: You disappoint me
“Has Idle Man ever tried to change the customs of Jiuzhou?”
“You…”
“Hmm?”
The Emperor lifts his tone. Meng Yu, being exceptionally intelligent, knows the crux of the question and hurries to change his answer.
“Your Majesty, Master said that the customs of Jiuzhou have come about over millions of years and serve a purpose. No Human Emperor throughout history has altered too much of it, which indicates that this is part of the historical process. As a Human Emperor, it is not permissible to reverse history and change Jiuzhou.”
The Emperor sneers coldly.
Meng Yu continued: “Master also speculated that he has good relations with the upper-level cultivators. If Jiuzhou was changed, it would mean going against all the upper-level cultivators, which is not conducive to unity.”
“Then, has he ever punished the evil and praised the virtuous?”
Meng Yu understood that the man before him was inclined towards fairness and justice. She replied, following the Emperor’s preferences: “Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Master often draws his sword to help when he sees injustice. He is praised by the world. When he sees someone killing in the streets, he kills the murderer. When he learns that this person’s clan often carries out evil deeds and commits arson, he exterminates the clan and the locals applaud.”
“Is it just like this?”
“Where does the root of that clan’s evil deeds lie? Why did no one report it until Idle Man, that waste, arrived to punish it?”
“How many of such clans are there in places that Idle Man cannot see?”
“If the system does not change, once that clan disappears, a new one will rise. Does he not know this, or has he not thought about it?”
The Emperor’s questions rendered Meng Yu speechless.
Wouldn’t an ordinary person’s approach be to dig out the root of the problem and get rid of it? Who would consider what to do when new villains appear?
Daring to look up, Meng Yu saw that the Emperor had his eyes closed and was not looking at her. It seemed as if the series of questions just now was not meant for her, but for her Master who was somewhere unknown.
With the horses lying on the ground, the Emperor lay on the horse’s back with his eyes shut, appearing rather slack.
Faced with such an Emperor, Meng Yu didn’t even dare breathe heavily.
She felt this side of the Emperor was even more terrifying.
“Who is backing the Meng Family from behind?”
“It’s Master.”
“Before Idle Man, there were seventy-one generations of Human Emperors. Have you ever heard of the Imperial Families, heard of the Lu Family, the Qing Family?”
Generations of Human Emperors never oppressed the weak with their power. They believed that becoming a Human Emperor didn’t imply that their families should prosper. On the contrary, generations of Human Emperors kept their families low-key and humble, warning them not to be complacent because of their existence.
“Although I think the previous Human Emperors have been pedantic and overly strict about themselves, I still admire their character.”
“How does Idle Man deserve it? He even created a major family from his maidservants.”
“If he reared a dog, wouldn’t he be able to create a Dog Family?”
Meng Yu couldn’t answer, nor dared to answer.
“Well, let’s destroy the Meng Family.”
The Emperor’s words made Meng Yue’er and Meng Yu feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar. It seemed like an unchangeable fact, regardless of the tremendous Divine Skills you possess, it would be of no use.
“His Majesty is wise. Although my Meng Family is one of the local families in Sleeping Dragon City, we’ve never killed anyone. If we had, Master wouldn’t have let us off!”
The Emperor remained unmoved.
A streak of light rushed to the sky above Sleeping Dragon City. It was also a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
“Lan Que, save us!!” Seeing the visitor, Meng Yu felt like she had seen her savior. She hurriedly cried for help. This was the female cultivator at the Body Integration Realm and one of Master’s concubines.
Upon seeing the Emperor, Lan Que felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. This man was no ordinary person. How did such a character appear in Jiuzhou?
“I am Lan Que, the hostess of the Great Yong branch of Sky Mechanism Tower. May I ask who you are?”
The Emperor was lying on the horse’s back with his eyes still shut. “I don’t like anyone above my head.”
Lan Que’s back was suddenly hit by an unknown force. She spat out blood and thumped down in front of the Emperor, kneeling on the ground.
The terror of Lan Que was even greater than Meng Yu’s. She recognized that it was not the effect of words but that the man before her was too powerful. His will enveloped the surrounding area. In this area, his will was absolute!
This was beyond the measurement of realms!
“I heard from Emperor Jiang Li that Idle Man once wanted to draw a map of Jiuzhou. Before this, the map of Jiuzhou was monopolized by Sky Mechanism Tower.”
“Because there was a disciple of Sky Mechanism Tower in Idle Man’s harem, he gave up this idea. This disciple of Sky Mechanism Tower . . . was it you?”
When the Emperor heard Jiang Li talk about this, he was somewhat irritated, considering the ridiculous reason for not making a map.
Long ago, the Emperor had given Sky Mechanism Tower two options: submit or die.
The Sky Mechanism Tower chose to submit. Now, they were responsible for the intelligence work of the Xian Dynasty.
Lan Que hesitated for a moment, and then said “yes”.
From then on, she was valued by the host of the Sky Mechanism Tower, taken as a closed-door disciple, and trained to become the hostess of a branch.
The Emperor opened his eyes, got off the horse’s back, and without a word, grabbed Meng Yue’er’s neck with one hand, and Meng Yu’s neck with the other.
The two women struggled desperately, like drowning people trying to grasp anything that could save their lives.
“I suggest you release Meng Yu, otherwise I will crush this Teleportation Talisman. Even you would not like the opponent that would be teleported here!”
Lan Que suddenly convulsed. All the meridians in her body were burning. She was terrified to find that her cultivation was retrogressing. It finally retrogressed to the Nascent Soul Stage!
If she hadn’t taken a Lifespan Extension Pill, she would have died of old age by now. Even so, she wouldn’t live for many more years.
“I have been cultivating fiber myself recently, so I’ll spare you from death.”
Lan Que gritted her teeth and hesitated no more, immediately tearing up the Teleportation Talisman.
The Teleportation Talisman turned into shards of light, forming a teleportation array. A woman in emperor’s attire with a gourd at her waist appeared.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, not expecting that Yu Yin would appear.
Lan Que communicated the situation to Yu Yin via Divine Sense.
The conversation of the Divine Sense was extremely fast, and in an instant, Yu Yin knew what had happened.
This was self-inflicted by the Meng Family. She had already warned Meng Yu to be cautious, but Meng Yu didn’t listen, self-righteously thinking that as long as she had Jiang Li as a backer, she would be worry-free. She was only thinking about how to please Jiang Li.
Seeing Yu Yin, Meng Yu was overjoyed knowing that she would be saved. Yu Yin was the most powerful in Master’s harem. “Madam, save me!”
Yu Yin hesitated for a moment, then spoke politely: “Although the Meng Family has not directly killed anyone, they have indirectly caused many deaths. But ultimately, Meng Yu is Jiang Li’s maid. Could you spare her life? I will definitely teach her a good lesson on behalf of Jiang Li!”
Yu Yin wanted to save Meng Yu, who apparently was hard to be accountable to Jiang Li if she died.
The Emperor tightened his grip, severing the necks of Meng Yue’er and Meng Yu without delay.
“You!” Yu Yin didn’t expect the opponent to be so merciless.
A voice came from behind Yu Yin: “Yu Yin, you’ve disappointed me.”
Jiang Li appeared behind Yu Yin, his eyes were disappointing. It seemed as if he was not looking at Yu Yin, but another person.
In his memory, Yu Yin wouldn’t plead for people like this.
“Love has changed you.”
The Emperor looked at her in the same way. Yu Yin, the Empress, would not do something like this.
Yu Yin in Jiang Li’s world wasn’t much different from Yu Yin in the Emperor’s world.
What do you think?
