The Empress Xiao Zhao

The question of who would inherit the position of Human Emperor in the Wind and Cloud World.

Ding Ling had considered giving it to Nie Feng and the others, but in the end, he still chose Xiao Zhao.

It was not for any other reason. Aside from being his empress and one of his own people, the most important thing was that Xiao Zhao was powerful enough to suppress the human world. No one would dare act recklessly.

There were many Ascenders in the Nine Provinces, and the number of players was growing.

Without absolute strength, there was no way to suppress this group of heroes from the Wind and Cloud World.

One had to know that among these heroes were plenty of proud and unruly men with the bearing of warlords. Their willingness to submit to Ding Ling did not mean they were willing to submit to Nie Feng and the others.

They had all been ministers of the same court, with similar ranks. Then Nie Feng would suddenly be promoted to emperor—who would not feel unbalanced?

But if Xiao Zhao became the Empress, that would be an entirely different matter.

After all, Xiao Zhao was the empress. For her to succeed to the throne as empress was only natural, was it not?

Of course.

Aside from her status and strength, it was also because Xiao Zhao possessed the bearing of a great general. She was intelligent and quick-witted, no less than Zhao Min and the other women. She dared to shoulder responsibilities, had a strong sense of duty, and was exceptionally gentle and kind.

An empress like this was perfectly suited to rule during an age of prosperity!

Xiao Zhao had refused at first.

But Ding Ling insisted.

So she went along with him and chose to accept.
