434: The Throne Could Be Decided with a Single Word

"To become emperor?"

Lu Li frowned, looking uninterested. "Too much trouble. I'd rather spend this time sunbathing."

Although everyone knew that Lu Li was a person of quiet and indifferent nature, his answer still left them speechless.

Being an emperor not only ensures one's place in history, but also allows one to control the population and resources of the entire Divine Continent, ensuring that one and one's family enjoy benefits for generations to come—nothing to be taken lightly.

That's why Grandmaster like Shen Xing fought tooth and nail for it, while only top-tier forces like the Five Peaks Immortal Sect, with their own Spirit Realm forming its own world, acted with complete indifference.

Even so, they still sent their elite members to the various Governor.

Seeing Lu Li the throne like a worn-out shoe, Li Yuanzhong was the most helpless.

He brought up the topic himself, clearly intending to have Lu Li the throne.

This would quickly stabilize the situation, and Lu Li's ruthless methods and compassionate heart truly make him the best candidate for emperor in chaotic times.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned... Li Yuanzhong tried to offer some advice, but his lips moved several times without him being able to utter a word.

Lu Li's future is limitless; even the tribulation of lightning may not be the end. With such the potential of a celestial being, mere mortal emperors would only distract him.

The old Daoist priest was quite conflicted, when Zhenyangzi suddenly spoke up:

"If Lu Li is unwilling, then the other Daoist partners are also acceptable."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xia Weiyin and the others.

The fact that these women became empresses has a similar significance to Lu Li's ascension to the throne!

Lu Li had no objection to this, so he asked, "Do any of you want to be Empress?"

Xia Weiyin laughed and said, "No thanks, I really can't do that. Besides, I still want to try my luck at reaching the Martial Saint realm!"

Wan Qing shook her head repeatedly. "I only want to stay by my husband's side, I don't want to be Empress."

Everyone looked at Xiao Cha again; she was standing there, stunned, her mind filled with astonishment.

This is the throne; can't we just discuss it in a few words?

But then I thought about it again, there was a Manifestation Grandmaster, a True Lord of Vermilion Bird, and four other Grandmaster in my family.

With such power, wouldn't the throne be decided in a heartbeat?

Lu Li asked with a smile, "Does the Tea Master want to be an emperor?"

"Eek~ I don't want to~"

Xiao Cha shook her head vigorously. "All the formalities and backstabbing are so boring. It's better to cultivate. I want to become Martial Saint!"

Xiao Cha's words hit the nail on the head: the reason they have the final say on the throne is precisely because of their cultivation and power!

However, she was unwilling to ascend the throne and become empress, so there was no suitable candidate for the time being.

However, the Cat Ear Sisters were also present.

After all, she was a princess. Whether it was her bloodline or her education, Xing Ru a certain desire.

I waited anxiously and excitedly for a long time, but no one came to ask.

Overseas provinces are not part of the main Divine Continent territory, so people have intentionally or unintentionally overlooked this option.

Xing Ru knew she was overthinking things, but as a "White Tiger" recognized by the Divine Continent, it was infuriating that he didn't even ask her a question.

Xing Ru bit her lower lip, looking sullen, when Xia Weiyin announced:

"I discussed it with Xing Ru the other day, and the sisters will also marry Lu Li and work together in the incineration cultivation."

Everyone knows what's going on and is happy to see it happen; we can't let the White Tiger benefit outsiders.

Everyone offered their congratulations, Xing Ru with Yue Ru, performed a deep bow to express their Wanfu Ceremony.

Lu Li was a little surprised, but he certainly wouldn't refuse such a good thing, and he was also very curious about what it would be like to have twins with telepathic connections.

After offering his congratulations, Li Yuanzhong was thinking of steer the conversation back to the earlier topic.

Lu Li volunteered, "Even if I don't become emperor, I won't ignore the affairs of the Divine Continent. We can't have another 'Great Jin Dynasty'."

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhong immediately felt relieved and said with a smile:

"Very well then, this old Daoist will not disturb you any longer. You should focus on cultivating and stabilizing your cultivation levels."

After saying that, he left with Zhenyangzi.

Xia Weiyin said to her husband:

"No matter who becomes emperor, they won't be able to sleep soundly without your approval. Ultimately, this matter depends on you."

Lu Li shrugged and said, "I'm completely bad at this kind of thing. Let's take it one step at a time and establish some rules first."

"Setting rules?"

"Yes, for example, strictly banning opium, abolishing all concessions, etc., there are quite a few ideas."

Lu Li smiled and said, "In short, we must make the world a better place."

"To make the world a better place..."

Xia Weiyin murmured a repeating sentence, then revealed a big smile:

"It will be very difficult, but I'm sure you can do it, my lord!"

"It's alright, thanks to your help."

"That's right, that's right, we will all help our lord!"

A group of young men and women, full of enthusiasm and vitality, dispelled the gloom of the setting sun, and the sun seemed to rise again.

Xing Ru envy... She envied their deep affection, and she also envied that they had a land to protect.

Ryukyu has long been replaced by new birds in a cage; even if Izumo were destroyed, there would be no one left to use to restore the kingdom.

Fortunately, there's still hatred to sustain them.

Xing Ru held her sister's hand and looked at Lu Li. With this man around, killing the Izumo Emperor was no longer a pipe dream!

But at that moment, everyone looked up at the same time, heading southwest.

Just then, a beautiful figure with flowing robes flew from the direction where the Huashan Sect had just left; it was Su Qing.

She flew close before landing lightly, which was both impolite and quite bold.

With nowhere to grab her weight in mid-air, if Lu Li had any malicious intent, he could easily smash her to pieces with a single punch.

Of course, both Su Qing and everyone else present were certain that this scene would not happen.

Previously, Wan Qing had exposed their affair to the public, and everyone knew about the sordid relationship between the two.

Xia Weiyin and Xiao Cha's faces immediately turned cold, their gazes piercing Su Qing like knives.

Su Qing didn't take it to heart, gracefully bowed in a Wanfu Ceremony, and smiled:

"Greetings, sisters! I am Su Qing, and I greet you all."

Upon hearing this, Xia Weijun's face changed drastically. "Bah! Who said I'm sisters with a whore like you!"

This woman dared to presume to enter the sect, and Xiao Cha pointed her finger at her and cursed:

"A married woman still going out to have affairs and commit adultery, how shameless!"

The woman from another world possessed some simple values and looked down on Su Qing, a harlot who was married but still had extramarital affairs.

Of course, a woman's innate jealousy may also play a role.

Su Qing's expression remained unchanged as she calmly explained:

"I gave my virginity to Lu Lang, Yin Essence and my blood, and I even helped him break through his cultivation level. It's not as shameful as you think."

Xia Weijun knew these words were true, otherwise Lu Li wouldn't have trusted this woman.

But she just didn't like the other person, so she coldly replied, "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false!"

Xiao Cha suddenly lashed out with her White Dragon Whip, shouting, "A harlot is not to be trusted! Get out!"

"Please calm down, both of you."

Su Qing maintained a smile on her face, but her eyes were somewhat cold.

"I brought Lu Lang a secret method for cultivating through tribulation; I should give it to him first, shouldn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weijun and Xiao Cha froze...

Lu Li quickly spoke up to ease the tension:

"Su Qing is one of our people, she's trustworthy. Let's take a look at the tribulation lightning technique she brought back."
