I Came to Relax on Vacation, Not to Kill

Liang Emperor knelt on the white jade floor.

Looking at the thumb-sized red Pill in front of him,

Those cloudy, weathered eyes suddenly shone with an alarming brightness.

But he didn't reach out to take it immediately.

His aged face, covered in age spots, conveyed a complex mix of emotions; his lips trembled slightly, filled with struggle and guilt.

Because of this tiny Immortal Elixir,

It was obtained in exchange for the vast empire of the Xiao Household.

He, Xiao Chengqian,

I have no face to face my ancestors!!

In a short time,

Liang Emperor's eyes were filled with pain and self-reproach.

"Hmm? Don't want to?"

Gao Yunyi frowned slightly as he looked at the tasks that remained incomplete on the task panel, and said in a somewhat impatient tone.

Such a meager experience reward, and you're still dawdling around like that.

Do you expect me to personally feed it to you?

"Yes, yes."

The self-reproach and pain in Liang Emperor's eyes vanished instantly upon hearing the Immortal's voice.

All that's left is greed and fanaticism.

Liang Emperor held the Spirit-Gathering Pill in both hands as if it were a rare treasure, handling it with utmost care, as if afraid that it would shatter with the slightest tap.

This is his life!!

At this moment, for him,

His life was more important than anything else; he would even abandon his ancestral legacy and the vast empire he ruled.

He slowly took out a small brocade box from his bright yellow dragon robe, gently placed the Immortal Elixir into the box, and then slowly tucked it into his bosom.

Liang Emperor did not immediately take the Immortal Elixir.

Since he hadn't reached the final stage of his life yet, he wanted to maximize the value of the Immortal Elixir.

After doing all this,

Liang Emperor bowed deeply to the Immortal and solemnly vowed.

"After I return tonight, I will draft the edict of abdication. Tomorrow, I will summon all civil and military officials to discuss the abdication ceremony, and then announce to the world that I am abdicating the throne to the Immortal Venerable."

Faced with the supreme imperial throne, faced with the power to rule over all under heaven,

The Immortal's face, however, remained calm, even showing a lack of interest and absent-mindedness.

"You should keep this throne for yourself. I was just saying, don't take it seriously."

Gao Yunyi leaned back on the dragon throne, one hand gently supporting his head, the other holding a fresh fruit, chewing slowly and leisurely as if no one else was around.

It was as if the fresh fruit in His hand was more interesting to Him than the vast land.

Just saying?

Don't take it seriously?

Liang Emperor, who was kneeling on the ground, was suddenly stunned, and then looked astonished.

Is this something you can just casually say?

This is the imperial throne, the imperial power, the entire empire!

From ancient times to the present,

Countless heroes and warriors have fought tooth and nail for this dragon throne, leaving countless corpses and rivers of blood.

In the end, it all turned into a fleeting dream, leaving only withered bones in the tomb.

The imperial throne, which everyone dreams of but can never obtain.

I even knelt down and personally brought it to your lips.

But all you did was casually say:

I was just saying, don't take it seriously.

If it weren't for the fact that Immortal was sitting before him, Liang Emperor would have been tempted to kill him.

Back then, his ascension to the throne was not without its challenges.

With his second brother,

The Prince of Qin of Qin at that time,

The battle at Xuanwu Gate was fierce, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He was one move ahead in the game and luckily won the final victory.

He paid a heavy price and sacrificed a great deal to become emperor.

Being all alone is more than just an adjective.

But why are Immortals so calm and composed? How can they be so...?

Disdainful.

Is it just because you're a celestial being?

So they can so brazenly humiliate a king?

Does this mean we can so blatantly trample on the dignity of the reigning emperor?

Etc...

Is this a test from the Immortals?

Liang Emperor suddenly realized what was happening.

The Immortal wasn't just teasing me; he was testing me.

This Immortal Elixir wasn't obtained by betraying one's ancestors' empire; rather, it was earned through one's own sincerity and earning the test of the Immortals.

Immortals reward themselves.

Thinking about this,

The last bit of self-reproach and guilt in Liang Emperor's heart vanished instantly.

"Many thanks to the Immortal Venerable for your great kindness and virtue. Xiao Chengqian is deeply grateful and will never forget it."

Liang Emperor kowtowed deeply to the Immortal on the dragon throne.

You're about to kick the bucket.

Forever my foot!

Gao Yunyi picked up a plump grape from the jade plate on the side table and put it in his mouth to taste.

"Stop with the empty pleasantries. I'm here on vacation, not to steal your throne."

"I just want to be happy, comfortable, relaxed, and enjoy myself, so you can relax and just treat me well."

Gao Yunyi did not feign profundity, nor did he put on airs.

It means explaining your situation clearly using modern language and style.

Simple, crude, straightforward, and shallow.

For the ancients, whose concepts of etiquette and law were deeply ingrained,

The impact was simply unimaginable.

And emperors,

What he valued most was the etiquette, manners, and hierarchy of the people below him.

If you just replace it with anyone else

How dare you talk to him like that?

No need to wait until tomorrow,

Tonight, the heads of his entire family will be displayed at the execution ground at the Meridian Gate.

But,

The one who uttered these words was Immortal.

That would be different.

How could Immortal be so rude and ignorant of manners?

That is the ultimate simplicity, a return to the basics.

What?

Do you have any objections?

Have you ever been to heaven?

How do you know that the gods in heaven don't talk like that?

Someone come here.

Daring to question Immortals is disrespectful to Immortals and Gods.

Drag him out and execute him.

Have a look,

What about conforming to the times, what about etiquette and rules?

When your power is enough to crush this era

All etiquette and rules must give way to you.

"It is an immense honor for our Liang Kingdom that the Immortal Venerable can descend to the mortal realm to travel and relax, and a great blessing for all the people."

"Immortal Venerable, please rest assured, I have already made all the arrangements. The Immortal Residence is fully staffed, and there is an abundance of fine wine and delicacies. The sights and sights of Immortal Venerable Capital are at your disposal. If you require anything else Immortal Venerable, please just give the order."

Liang Emperor replied with a warm and respectful attitude.

At this moment,

He doesn't seem like an emperor ruling the world; he's more like a restaurant owner trying to please his customers.

But,

Gao Yunyi was very satisfied.

Let's see what professionalism is.

That's what professionalism is.

They are flexible and adaptable, assess the situation carefully, think things through thoroughly, and consider all aspects.

No wonder he could become emperor.

Even without a mission,

Gao Yunyi even wanted to give him another Spirit-Gathering Pill.

"Alright, since you've already made all the arrangements, I'll just relax and enjoy myself."

Gao Yunyi yawned.

"Where do I live? I'm a little tired after traveling for so long."

"Immortal Venerable, please wait a moment, I will arrange it immediately, immediately."

After saying that,

Liang Emperor then rose, bowed, and left the glittering pavilion.

After seeing Liang Emperor leave with his body hunched over,

Gao Yunyi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This old emperor is quite interesting. I urge him not to have any improper thoughts. I'm here for a relaxing vacation; I don't want to kill anyone."

After muttering something to himself,

Gao Yunyi stretched out a big yawn.

This pure Crafting dragon throne is too hard.

It's too uncomfortable on my butt.

Uncomfortable,

He simply couldn't bring himself to like it.
