Chapter 249.2
The banquet lasted a long time, and everyone left in awe.
Late at night, the leader of the Demon Sect, Zi Liuli, stayed overnight at Yaoyaos palace.
Although Yaoyao was not yet married to Lin Beifan as a consort, everyone already treated her as one, so she had a palace in the imperial palace for her convenience.
At this moment, Zi Liuli had changed into a purple nightgown, her hair ornaments removed, and her long, lustrous black hair cascaded down her shoulders, her stunning face looking less stern and more gentle.
Yaoyao, come here. I have something to ask you!
Master, its late, so we should be sleeping! Cant your question wait until tomorrow? Yaoyao yawned, sounding a bit groggy.
Come here first, its just a few words! Zi Liuli insisted.
Yaoyao trotted over: Master, what do you want to ask?
As Zi Liuli fiddled with Yaoyaos hair, she teasingly asked, Yaoyao, how far has your relationship with His Majesty progressed?
Yaoyao was confused: What do you mean by how far Master, I dont understand what youre saying! ๐๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ต.๐๐ฐ๐
Im asking you, have you ever shared a bed with His Majesty?
Yaoyaos face turned red in an instant, her sleepiness vanished, and she stammered, M-m-master, what nonsense are you talking about? Who who slept with him? Even if he wants to, I wouldnt be willing!
Zi Liuli gave her a knock on the head while saying irritably, Yaoyao, are you trying to infuriate your master? I gave you a year, and you still havent seized the opportunity!
Yaoyao: ??? ๐๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ฎ๐ช๐ผ๐.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
It took her a moment to realize that her Master was seriously trying to push her into a relationship with His Majesty.
Then she blushed: Master, how can you say that?
What else can I say?
Zi Liuli said huffily: Since both of you have feelings for each other, why not make it official sooner? Whats with all the dilly-dallying?
But
Yaoyao said shyly, There should be a process of falling in love, right?
Then she got knocked in the head again.
Holding her little head, Yaoyao looked at Zi Liuli with tearful eyes: Master, why did you hit me again?
Your head wont work if I dont knock some sense into you! Zi Liuli continued angrily: Look at how fast he established an Empire! And youre still slowly playing coy and getting all sentimental. How is that acceptable? Youre the saintess of our Demon Sect, known for your decisiveness and ruthlessness. Why have you become so hesitant?
Master, can that be the same thing?
Yaoyao said, shyly lowering her head: After all, this is a matter of my lifetime. Dont you think I should consider it carefully?
Could you possibly find a man more outstanding than His Majesty?
Zi Liuli glared at her: Im giving you a task now. Strive to bed him this year! Otherwise, dont consider me your master anymore!
Yaoyao was extremely embarrassed, What kind of outrageous language is this!
She had always been called a witch by outsiders, but now she realized that her master was even more devilish than she was!
Yaoyao couldnt take it anymore and could only pretend to be sleepy, yawning and saying, Master, I cant talk to you anymore, Im too sleepy. Im going to sleep now, goodbye!
After lying down, however, she couldnt fall asleep at all. Her mind was filled with the image of Lin Beifan.
In her imagination, Lin Beifan looks very smug right now because even her master is helping him.
This villain is so bad!
On the other hand, Mo Yuyan couldnt sleep after she went back either.
The impression that Great Xia Emperor Lin Beifan gave her was just too similar to that of a certain senior.
Many details matched up, and even the way he spoke was extremely similar, giving her a very familiar feeling.
However, logically speaking, he just couldnt be the one!
This left her very confused and conflicted.
After hastily purchasing supplies, she ran back to the cave in the White Tiger Mountain Range and softly called out, Senior! Senior
What is it? Have you finished your shopping? came the familiar, ethereal voice.
Yes, Senior, Ive finished shopping. These supplies should last me two months! Mo Yuyan replied.
Thats good! the voice responded.
Mo Yuyan thought for a moment and then said, By the way, Senior, I also attended the celebration ceremony of Great Xia during my trip down the mountain. It was really lively, with crowds of people and many powerful figures gathering! Senior, do you know about this?
How could I not know about such a major event? the voice floated back.
Senior, did you attend? Mo Yuyan asked tentatively.
Of course not. I dont have that kind of leisure time!
Senior, what do you think about the establishment of the Empire by Great Xia? Mo Yuyan continued to probe.
Its a good thing! Great Xia puts its people first, and the establishment of the Empire will strengthen its national power, allowing more common people to live a life of adequate food and clothing! Although we martial artists are powerful, we must not detach ourselves from the masses, nor should we bully others with our power!
I see Senior, whats your opinion on the Great Xia Emperor? Mo Yuyan continued her probing.
Laughter came through, Ive heard that under the heavens, only his appearance can compete with mine! I should find time to meet him when the time right! To find out who is more handsome between me and the Great Xia Emperor!
Mo Yuyan secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that the Senior was just as shameless as the Great Xia Emperor!
After asking several questions in succession, she couldnt get any key information.
But she felt that the two were getting closer and closer.
Next, Mo Yuyan continued to practice martial arts on the mountain, seizing every opportunity to subtly inquire about the seniors identity.
Meanwhile, the three-day holiday had ended, and the citizens of Great Xia had returned to their jobs, continuing to build Great Xia.
Lin Beifan, who rarely attended the morning court, admonished the officials, Although we have established the Empire, all ministers must not slacken their efforts. We must continue to strive to build Great Xia! Our journey is still long, and the Empire is certainly not the end!
Yes, Your Majesty! everyone said in unison.
After the morning court, Lin Beifan began to review and study the future path.
Undoubtedly, he was set on taking the path of dominance to expand his territory further, increase his population, enrich his resources, and strengthen his army
As for his harem
Cough cough, that was just a side matter, not something to emphasize particularly.
Since he intended to continue seeking dominance, he definitely needed to choose a direction.
To the north was the Great Feng Dynasty, which he had already plundered, and it was currently the territory of the Buddhist Sect.
Expanding northward would yield little benefit, so it was unnecessary.
To the west lies the Great Luo Dynasty, which, with the support of the Taoist Sect, is not so easily conquered.
Their bones are too tough. Gnawing directly at them wont work, so Lin Beifan plans to slowly wear them down.
Anyway, its about time now. Lets see how long they can hold out.
As for the east, beyond the Azure Dragon Mountain Range lies the ocean, with no prospects for development.
Therefore, his target is the other side of the Hengduan Mountain Range.
There are quite a few countries there, but the great kingdoms are the main players.
There are also a few dynasties, but they are not very strong.
As long as he can conquer them, the territory and population will at least double.
Thus, Lin Beifan used the Hand of God, pointing it at the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Two days later, an urgent message came from the troops stationed at the Hengduan Mountain Range.
The Hengduan Mountain Range had once again shifted, creating a new path that led to the other side.
Following this, Lin Beifan summoned more than a dozen generals.
Generals!
Lin Beifan said with a smile as he passed around the letter he had received: This is the latest news. The Hengduan Mountain Range has fractured again, revealing a passage to the other side! We are strong in troops and national power, and it seems now is the perfect time to expand our territory outward. What do you say?
What Your Majesty said is true! The generals were excited.
His Majesty was signaling war, an opportunity to expand the empires borders!
This meant military achievements!
With military achievements, they could be promoted and possibly receive divine skills, divine elixirs, and even powerful weapons!
Your Majesty, please issue your command! We are ready to serve with utmost dedication to our last breath! The generals spoke in unison.
