The limits of her abilities

Under Qian Renxue's oppressive aura, Dai Weisi turned his gaze to Dai Tian in the main seat, trying to plead for help with his eyes.

Dai Tian naturally saw Dai Weisi's situation, but he made no move to speak.

As for the reason...

Naturally, it was because he saw the Evil Emperor leaning against the doorway, and the Evil Emperor's somewhat sinister eyes were quietly watching Dai Tian.

Such a short distance.

Dai Tian had no doubt that if he made any move, the Evil Emperor leaning against the door would be able to capture him instantly.

"Your Majesty, my sister and I have both been granted the title of duke, but this Fief is only one piece, which seems a bit insufficient. I think Yadan City, which borders the Star Dou Great Forest, would be quite good. What does Your Majesty think?"

Bai Wanwan tidied her hair behind her ear and looked at Dai Tian, who was in the main seat.

"Yadan City?"

Dai Tian muttered to himself, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

As a city bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Star Dou Great Forest, Yadan City was nothing special to Dai Tian, nor did it have any strategic significance. It was simply a city that was close to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bai Wanwan wants it, then giving it to Bai Wanwan is fine.

Hmm~

There's nothing we can do if they don't give it to us.

After all, the emperor and the Heir Apparent are already in their hands. It's hard to say whether they can leave the Nether City unscathed if they don't agree.

"Can!"

"A decree will be drafted shortly, granting you the Yadan City."

Dai Tian's eyes gradually closed.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Wanwan's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

Yadan City may seem to lack strategic significance, but that is not the case.

In Bai Wanwan's view, Yadan City is a place of great strategic significance.

Yadan City borders the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest spans the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Two Great Empires, which means that as long as one can cross the Star Dou Great Forest, one can travel from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Tian felt it had no strategic significance because the Star Dou Great Forest served as a natural barrier.

In the central area of Star Dou Great Forest, there are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. The mixed area outside the central area is entirely the territory of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It is impossible for an army composed of ordinary people to cross the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, the army would be attacked by Spirit Beast as it marched through the Star Dou Great Forest, especially when it approached the mixed zone, where Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would even spontaneously unite.

But in Bai Wanwan's view, these problems were not problems at all.

One of her identities is the Water Dragon King, whose status in the Star Dou Great Forest is equal to that of Di Tian. After taking control of Yadan City and stockpiling grain, she will then work with Kangxin City to allow the Star Luo Empire to flourish from both sides.

If we add the Lower Four Sects that are leaning towards the Spirit Hall, it wouldn't be impossible for them to lock down the Star Luo Empire's army on the front lines.

"Sister~"

Bai Wanwan patted Qian Renxue's arm, signaling her to withdraw her oppressive aura.

Qian Renxue glanced coldly at Dai Weisi and gradually withdrew her oppressive aura.

The oppressive aura dissipated, Dai Weisi slumped in his seat, speechless for Jiujiu.

Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan got up from their seats and walked out of the Hall.

"Zhuqing, accompany us for a stroll in the Nether City."

Qian Renxue walked to the door, paused for a moment, and looked towards Zhu Zhuqing's position.

"Okay, Qian-jie."

"I know the Nether City very well."

Zhu Zhuqing agreed and got up from her seat to follow Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan.

After they left, only Dai Tian, Dai Weisi, Nether Duke, and Zhu Zhuyun remained in the large Hall.

"Father Emperor..."

Dai Weisi got up and walked up to Dai Tian. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a slap, followed by a burning pain on his face.

"I just told you to leave, what the hell were you doing going up there?"

"You're asking about other people's partners? What are you trying to do?"

Dai Tian slapped Dai Weisi, his eyes filled with anger.

"Father Emperor, you just gave me a wink, weren't you telling me to go up and say hello, to get closer to him?"

Dai Weisi covered his slightly burning face and responded with his head down.

"You..."

Dai Tian's lips twitched involuntarily, and he raised his hand again, but after thinking for a moment, he silently lowered it and let out a long sigh.

"Father, this..."

Zhu Zhuyun lowered her voice and leaned closer to Nether Duke.

Isn't it obvious?

"Just as you think, don't provoke them, and don't try anything with Zhuqing. Her engagement to the royal family is off, so she won't be competing with you for anything anymore."

"If possible, you should also try to improve your relationship with Zhuqing."

Nether Duke glanced at Dai Tian discreetly, and also lowered his voice, trying to keep it so that only Zhu Zhuyun could hear it.

After all, His Your Majesty was sitting right there, so it wasn't appropriate to say openly that the royal family had lost.

After hearing Nether Duke's words, Zhu Zhuyun fell silent.

The royal family lost.

The Two Princely Titles of the Heaven Dou Empire forced the entire Star Luo Imperial Family to bow their heads, leaving the current Your Majesty no choice but to concede and compromise.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had always been seen as a thorn in her side, also quietly escaped from the dead end.

Zhu Zhuyun looked in the direction Zhu Zhuqing had left, her eyes revealing a complex expression.

On the bustling streets.

Bai Wanwan held a drink, sipping it with a smile, "Zhuqing, after we go to Kangxin City in a couple of days, I hope you can be prepared."

"Ah?"

"Prepare?"

What do I need to prepare?

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Bai Wanwan with some confusion.

"I need you to help me hold down the fort in Kangxin City. Of course, it won't be just you; I'll also be sending other people over. But Kangxin City is a bit different. The Star Luo Imperial Family definitely won't give it up willingly, and I expect they'll try quite a few subtle probing moves."

Bai Wanwan spoke while sipping her drink.

"Aww~"

"But can I really do it?"

"Wanwan, why don't you find someone more capable..."

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Wanwan very seriously.

I will send someone to assist you.

"If you really can't handle it, I'll send someone to replace you."

"But I also said before that I don't need a vase, so I hope you won't disappoint me."

Bai Wanwan smiled, but her gaze was very serious.

Zhu Zhuqing's talent is average; even with diligent training, she can't keep up with Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan's speed. However, Zhu Zhuqing's other abilities are not bad either. With proper training, she can become capable of standing on her own in the future.

Moreover, every power needs an injection of fresh blood, whether it's the middle or upper management.

Therefore, Bai Wanwan wanted to see how high the limits of Zhu Zhuqing's abilities were by having her stationed in Kangxin City.
