Chapter 434: 434. The throne can be decided by a single word.
“Emperor?”
Lu Li frowned, lacking interest, “Such a hassle, I’d rather just enjoy the sun.”
Though they knew Lu Li was of a serene and indifferent nature, such a response inevitably rendered the crowd speechless.
Becoming Emperor wasn’t just about having one’s na etched in history; it also ant controlling the entire population and resources of Shen Zhou, bringing benefits to oneself and one’s family for generations—no trivial matter.
Therefore, figures like Shen Xing and other Great Grandmasters were vying for the throne, tearing their heads apart in the process. Only top-tier powers like the Five Mountains Immortal Sect, with the Spirit Realm to themselves, could afford to be so nonchalant.
Yet even so, they sent elite mbers to the sides of various Governors.
Seeing Lu Li discard the throne as if it were an old shoe, the most helpless one had to be Li Yuanzhong.
He had initiated the conversation precisely with the intention of having Lu Li ascend to the throne.
Doing so could quickly stabilize the situation, and with Lu Li’s lightning-fast thods and Bodhisattva-like compassion, he truly was the ideal candidate for an Emperor in turbulent tis.
Alas, things were not going according to his wishes… Li Yuanzhong contemplated saying sothing to persuade, moving his lips several tis, yet he could not bring himself to speak.
Lu Li’s future was imasurable. Even a Heavenly Tribulation might not be his final challenge. With such qualifications for Immortal Venerable status, being a re worldly Emperor would only tie down his energy.
The old Taoist was quite conflicted when suddenly Zhen Yangzi spoke up,
“If Lu Li is unwilling, perhaps his Daoist partners might be agreeable.”
Li Yuanzhong’s eyes lit up at this suggestion, turning to look at Xia Weiyun and the others.
These won becoming Emperor would have similar implications to Lu Li taking the throne!
Lu Li had no objection to this and went on to ask, “Does any of you wish to beco Queen?”
Xia Weiyun laughed heartily, “No thanks, I really can’t handle that, and besides, I still aspire to reach the realm of Martial Saint~”
Wanqing also shook her head repeatedly, “I only wish to follow my husband; I have no desire to be Queen.”
The crowd then turned to Xiao Cha, who stood there stunned, marveling to herself:
This is the throne we’re talking about, and we can just decide on it with a few words?
But then she reflected: with a Master of Manifestation at ho, a Vermilion Bird True Monarch, and four Great Grandmasters,
such power ant the throne could indeed be decided with a single word!
Lu Li asked with a smile, “Does Master Cha wish to be Emperor?”
“Eek~ Not at all~”
Xiao Cha vigorously shook her head, “All those tedious ceremonies and scheming, just thinking about it is uninteresting. Cultivation is better; I too aspire to beco a Martial Saint!”
Xiao Cha’s words went straight to the heart of the matter. The reason they could call the shots regarding the throne was precisely due to their Cultivation, their power!
But she also declined to ascend and claim the throne, leaving them montarily without a suitable candidate.
However, the Cat Ears Sisters were also present.
Being princesses, whether due to innate bloodline or upbringing, Xingru harbored so desire for the throne.
But after a tension-filled half-day of anticipation, no one ca to ask her.
Shen Zhou’s mainstream society had, consciously or unconsciously, overlooked this option.
Xingru knew she had set her expectations too high, but being ignored without a single inquiry, despite being acknowledged as the White Tiger of Shen Zhou, was really frustrating.
Xingru bit her lower lip, discontent and quiet when Xia Weiyun suddenly announced,
“The other day, I discussed with Sister Xingru that she and her sister would also form a marriage alliance with Lu Li, participating in burning cultivation together.”
This was known to all and well-received; no one wanted to see the White Tiger fall into outsider hands.
Everyone expressed their congratulations in turn, and Xingru with Yueru perford the Wanfu Ceremony in thanks.
Lu Li was sowhat surprised, but such a joyous matter was obviously not to be declined, plus he was curious about the sensation of telepathy with twin sisters.
Li Yuanzhong had just expressed his happiness and was thinking of bringing the conversation back to the earlier topic,
When Lu Li took the initiative to say, “Even if I don’t beco Emperor, I won’t neglect Shen Zhou’s affairs; we can’t let another ‘Great Jin Dynasty’ erge.”
With those words, Li Yuanzhong was imdiately relieved and smilingly said,
“That is very good indeed, then the old Taoist will not disturb further; rest well and stabilize your realm.”
Saying this, he left with Zhen Yangzi.
Xia Weiyun said to her husband,
“No matter who becos Emperor, they won’t sleep peacefully without your approval. In the end, it all still falls on you.”
Lu Li shrugged and said, “I’m really not good at this kind of thing. We’ll just have to take things as they co and set so rules first.”
“Set rules?”
“Mm-hmm, like strictly banning opium, abolishing all leases, that sort of thing. I’ve got quite a few ideas.”
Lu Li said with a smile, “In any case, we need to make the world a better place.”
“Make the world a better place…”
Xia Weiyun repeated softly, flashing a big smile,
“It’s tough, but my husband can definitely do it!”
“It’s okay, I’ve got you all helping out.”
“Absolutely, we will all help our husband!”
A group of young n and won, brimming with enthusiasm, dissipated the gloom of the setting sun, as if the sun had risen again.
Xingru watched with a heart full of envy… envious of their deep affection, and of their land to protect.
Liuqiu had long been lost to another, even if they vanquished Chuyun, there would be no one left to help reconstruct the nation.
Luckily, hatred sustained her.
Xingru held her sister’s hand, looking at Lu Li, with this man present, annihilating the Chuyun Emperor was no longer a foolish fantasy!
But at that mont, everyone looked up simultaneously to the southwest.
In the direction the Hua Mountain Sect had just left, a beautiful and graceful figure was flying towards them, it was Su Qing.
She landed gracefully only when she was near, quite impolite and bold.
Soaring through the sky with nothing to leverage against, had Lu Li harbored ill will, one punch could have shattered her in the air.
Of course, whether it be Su Qing or everyone present, they were all certain that this would not happen.
Wanqing had already exposed the two’s affair for all to see, and everyone knew of the scandalous relationship between this pair of illicit lovers.
Xia Weiyun and Xiao Cha’s expressions imdiately cooled, their gazes like knives slicing towards Su Qing.
Su Qing did not take offense, curtseying deeply with a Wanfu Ceremony, smiling as she said,
“Peace be with you, my sisters. Little sister Su Qing, greetings~”
Upon hearing this remark, Xia Weiyun’s face turned stormy, “Pah! Since when are we sisters with you, you shaless woman!”
This woman dared to fantasize about joining their ranks, and Xiao Cha also pointed at her nose and cursed,
“A married whore still out to seduce and commit adultery, utterly shaless!”
Won from the Otherworld generally had so fundantal values and deep down despised the likes of Su Qing who was married yet engaged in sordid affairs.
Of course, there was also the jealousy inherent in won.
Su Qing’s expression remained unchanged, explaining calmly,
“I have given my chaste self to Mr. Lu, with both the Yin Elent and Luo Hong intact, helping him break through his realm. It’s not as unsavory as you imagine.”
Xia Weiyun knew that these words were indeed true, or else Lu Li would not trust this woman.
But she just couldn’t stand the other woman and replied coldly, “Who knows whether you’re telling the truth or not!”
Xiao Cha pulled out her White Dragon Whip and lashed out suddenly, shouting, “A whore is not to be trusted! Get out!”
“Calm down, both of you.”
Su Qing maintained a smile on her face, but her eyes grew sowhat cold,
“I’ve brought the Thunder Tribulation Cultivation Secret thod for Mr. Lu, I should give it to him first, shouldn’t I?”
Hearing this, Xia Weiyun and Xiao Cha paused…
Lu Li hurriedly spoke up to ease the tension,
“Su Qing is one of our own and can be trusted. Let’s first see what Thunder Tribulation Secret Technique she has brought back.”
