Eunuch Wei: Leave an Heir

Xu Bai walked in front, with Qing Xue following behind. The two strolled through the spacious Imperial Palace, chatting from time to time.

Most areas of the Imperial Palace are sparsely populated, but there are many spies hidden in the shadows.

The two walked slowly and talked a lot along the way, mostly about things from the past.

"I never imagined that you, whom I thought would only reach the first rank at most, would now be someone I can no longer look up to." Qing Xue crossed her hands and placed them on her lower abdomen, looking down at the ground.

She felt that at this moment, she should find something to kick, such as small pebbles.

But the Imperial Palace was very clean.

"Who would have thought?" Xu Bai laughed. "Even I never imagined I would reach this position."

After obtaining the cheat code, what he thought about most was actually finding a place to hide and slowly grind down his health bar.

But unexpectedly, he can no longer hide his true self and has instead become known to the whole world.

"We've arrived." Qing Xue stopped, and suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she leaned close to Xu Bai's ear, put her hand on Xu Bai's shoulder, and whispered, "The Ninth Princess is preparing to ask His Majesty for her hand in marriage. She wants His Majesty to issue an imperial decree that you should marry her."

After saying that, she took two steps back and said nothing more.

Xu Bai was taken aback; this was unexpected.

Thinking that something else might happen on this trip, I never expected that the Ninth Princess would actually ask His Majesty to grant her a marriage.

What kind of operation is this? Xu Bai connected the dots and remembered when the emperor asked him how the land of the Barbarian Tribe should be divided. Suddenly, he realized the reason behind it.

"I see, I finally understand what she meant."

"She wants to use the fact that she married me to elevate her status so that she can manage the Barbarian Tribe fiefdom."

Xu Bai stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Although he didn't know the exact outcome, he could understand the meaning behind the Chu Emperor Chu Emperor's words during their conversation.

The general idea is to choose between the First Prince and the Ninth Princess; other princes will not be considered.

The Chu Emperor said that the Ninth Princess was a woman, which proved that he still favored the First Prince.

In fact, from any perspective, favoring the First Prince is the right thing to do.

The First Prince fought alone on the Border Pass, enduring countless dangers.

In terms of merit, the Ninth Princess really cannot be compared to the First Prince.

But given the current situation, the Ninth Princess wanted to make a effort to pull Xu Bai onto that boat.

"Has His Majesty agreed?" Xu Bai asked.

Qing Xue shook her head. "The princess has not gone yet, but she has mentioned it to His Majesty many times, and it is said that His Majesty also has this intention."

"I remember His Majesty said at the time, 'You are already a citizen of the Great Chu Kingdom. If you marry a princess, it will strengthen the kinship.'"

That's utter nonsense, a marriage between relatives.

Xu Bai pursed his lips.

As for the Ninth Princess's appearance, she was extremely beautiful, and she also had an air of noble languor.

For a man, conquering such a noble and languid beauty would be an extremely pleasurable experience.

But Xu Bai didn't want to get involved in any of these factors, including the current situation; he didn't want to become a pawn to be used.

"Let's go in first," Xu Bai said after a moment's thought.

He has already come up with a plan; he will simply state his refusal at the appropriate time.

Qing Xue nodded gently and continued to lead the way. Before long, the two arrived at the Ninth Princess's residence.

The main gate was tightly closed, with only two maids guarding the entrance.

When they saw Xu Bai and Qing Xue arrive, the two maids opened the door and lowered their eyes to the ground, not daring to look directly at Xu Bai.

There are many rules in the palace, and everyone in the palace has learned them.

The most important point is that, for a big shot like Xu Bai, they, as maids, should absolutely not look him in the eye.

Xu Bai ignored all of that and strode inside, with Qing Xue following behind him.

As the two walked in, Xu Bai saw the familiar table and the fine wine and food on it.

The Ninth Princess, dressed in yellow, rested her elbows on the table and propped her head up as she looked at Xu Bai.

Because of the sideways posture, the waist has an amazing curve.

Her light makeup added to her beauty, and combined with her elegant and languid demeanor, as well as the slightly dim lighting around her, created an atmosphere that was immediately captivating.

"King Xu, please sit down." The Ninth Princess raised her hand, gesturing for Xu Bai to take a seat.

Xu Bai didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. Then he picked up the chopsticks next to him and prepared to start eating.

Although people of their level of strength can go without food for a long time without much trouble, the desire for food is something everyone pursues.

He moved quickly and didn't say anything, as if this trip was only for eating.

The Ninth Princess looked at the man in front of her who only knew how to eat, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

This man, at the level of a first-rank extraordinary being, killed Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade.

Now, the whole world knows him.

Simply mentioning his name will garner countless praises and admiration, and many people will even take him as their role model.

Ninth Princess truly never imagined that Xu Bai, who was born into a humble family, would now have reached a status that even she could not attain.

But she was also glad that she hadn't fallen out with Xu Bai back then, which is why things are like this today.

"In this world, only you are worthy of me," the Ninth Princess suddenly said.

Xu Bai stopped holding his chopsticks, instantly losing all appetite.

"Don't talk about such disgusting things while we're eating."

The Ninth Princess laughed and said, "Do you think I'm something disgusting?"

Xu Bai nodded naturally. "Yes."

The Ninth Princess stood there, stunned, her big eyes wide open.

This answer immediately shut her up.

Xu Bai said slowly, "I know what you want. I have already made a suggestion to His Majesty, but this is, after all, your family matter, so I can only offer a little advice."

He didn't beat around the bush, but got straight to the point.

The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up. "Father... what did you say?"

Xu Bai took another bite of food. "He said you are, after all, a woman."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess's eyes dimmed instantly.

She picked up the wine jug next to her, poured herself a cup, tilted her head back and drank it down. Because she drank too fast, the wine spilled from her lips and flowed down her fair neck.

Seeing this, Xu Bai paused for a moment and said, "Excuse my bluntness, but whether it is merit or other aspects, the First Prince is superior to you in every way, and he will not fall into your hands."

The Ninth Princess did not answer and continued drinking.

After drinking three cups in one go, she filled Xu Bai's cup as well.

Xu Bai took a sip and smacked his lips.

He has good wine, but the people he drinks with are not.

"I've been waiting for this day, but I never expected that I still wouldn't see it," the Ninth Princess said with a bitter smile.

Xu Bai casually picked up a handkerchief from the side and wiped his mouth. "Don't you understand what I mean?"

The Ninth Princess shook her head, indicating that she did not understand.

Xu Bai stood up. "I just said, your skills are not as good as the First Prince's, your achievements are not as great as the First Prince's, and you don't have the First Prince's ability to fight on the battlefield. What do you have to compare with him?"

The language may be rough, but the principle is sound; every sentence gets straight to the point.

In Xu Bai's opinion, there was no need to fight for this, because the outcome was already predetermined, and no matter how much you fought, you couldn't change it.

They are simply better than you; that's an undeniable fact.

Most importantly, the Chu Emperor was in good health and didn't engage in any internal strife.

Besides, is a fief really that important?

Of course, Xu Bai thought that the other party might really think it was important, which was why he didn't say those words.

The Ninth Princess said, "Perhaps it's not so important to others, but it's very important to me."

Xu Bai said he didn't understand.

But he didn't need to figure it out; it wasn't his business. He was only here today to give Qing Xue face and to make things clear.

Besides, he did say something nice to the Ninth Princess at the time, but whether she listened or not was up to the Emperor.

Xu Bai stood up, preparing to leave.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible for us. You're too calculating, and I don't like that."

After saying that, he went straight out the door.

He thought the Ninth Princess would stop him, but Ninth Princess didn't say a word until Xu Bai left the room.

Although he didn't understand why, Xu Bai thought it was fine this way.

With things more or less settled, Xu Bai didn't linger and headed straight for the Imperial Treasury.

Outside the Imperial Treasury, two soldiers were guarding it.

In the past, when he rushed over, two soldiers would stop him.

But today is different. The Chu Emperor has already given the order, and when Xu Bai arrived, both soldiers looked at Xu Bai with respect.

"Greetings, King Xu!"

"Okay, okay!" Xu Bai responded to each of them before stepping forward.

As soon as he stepped inside, he noticed something was wrong.

In a corner of this floor, the Heavenly Sound Master sat alone, but Ye Zi was nowhere to be seen.

Having not seen him for so long, of course I wanted to meet him, but why was no one there? Xu Bai frowned slightly and walked towards the Heavenly Sound Master. Before he could speak, the Heavenly Sound Master spoke first.

"I know you want to find her, but now is not the right time," said the Heavenly Sound Master.

"Now, the year is almost up. Although she has reached the Transcendent Realm, she is currently stuck at the most critical point. I have found a place for her to go into seclusion."

"It's not too late for you to meet again after you've passed through customs."

The matter had been made perfectly clear, so Xu Bai didn't ask any further questions.

At first he thought there was some danger, but now it seems nothing is wrong.

"Then this junior will not disturb you any longer, senior," Xu Bai said, cupping his hands in greeting.

The Heavenly Sound Master curled his lip in disdain. "You little brat, you're quite the smooth talker. It's not that you're bothering me, it's that you don't want me to bother you, right?"

Xu Bai was directly exposed, but he didn't say anything, just smiled happily.

"Alright, stop smiling at me like that." The Heavenly Sound Master waved his sleeve. "It's the same as before. The food will be delivered. Just come and get it yourself."

Xu Bai agreed and, without saying anything more, headed straight for the top floor.

This time, he's going to work on all the books.

He has plenty of time and nothing else going on lately, so once he comes out of seclusion, it will definitely be a huge boost.

Following the stairs, he went straight to the top floor. Looking at the various books inside and the golden progress bars filling the room, Xu Bai rubbed his hands together.

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!"

He was excited, feeling as if he had suddenly received hundreds of billions, but didn't know how to use them.

"Which one should we start with? It doesn't matter, everyone gets one, you can have one!" Xu Bai picked up a book at random and started reading.

The progress bar was slowly increasing; the process was tedious, but he was already used to it and even enjoyed it...

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, night had fallen.

On the top floor of the Imperial Treasury, Xu Bai lit an oil lamp and, by its light, continued to watch the progress bar.

The windows were tightly closed. At this moment, apart from the lowest-ranking Heavenly Sound Master, Xu Bai was the only person in the entire Imperial Treasury.

In the quiet environment, accompanied by the rustling of pages turning, Xu Bai thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility.

Working on a progress bar can be tedious, but even when it's tedious, you have to find some fun. For example, right now, while working on a progress bar, reading an entire book as a novel is a good way to pass the time.

The night was growing darker, but Xu Bai had no intention of resting at this moment.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Bai casually added oil to the lamp before continuing his previous actions.

Just then, he heard footsteps coming from the stairwell.

Looking in that direction, Xu Bai saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Young Master." Ye Zi, with her graceful figure, approached with excitement on her face.

Xu Bai put down the book in his hand, slightly puzzled. "Didn't Heavenly Sound Master say you went into seclusion? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

"I have successfully passed the test as Grandma instructed." Ye Zi walked behind Xu Bai, stretched out her fair little hand, and gently massaged Xu Bai's shoulders.

"Grandmother?"

Upon hearing this form of address, Xu Bai frowned and said, "Shouldn't we call him 'teacher'?"

Ye Zi Xu Bai Zi had broken through the barrier. He was surprised by how fast she had done it, but most importantly, her title seemed to have changed.

"She has adopted me as her granddaughter, so our relationship has changed."

Ye Zi bent down slightly, her black hair floating on Xu Bai's face, making Xu Bai feel a little itchy.

Her small mouth approached Xu Bai's ear, and a soft voice whispered a sentence.

"Young master, it's late, please rest for a while..."

Smelling the familiar fragrance and hearing the soft voice beside my ear, I felt a slight itch in my ears.

Xu Bai tossed the book aside and pulled Ye Zi into his arms. "Then let's take a break and rest for a while..."

Yes, it's important to balance work and rest; that way you won't get tired.

The oil lamp flickered, and a sound echoed throughout the vast Imperial Treasury ...

"Hmm? Something doesn't feel right?" Xu Bai looked down, his brows furrowed.

"Young master, is something wrong?" Ye Zi stretched out her fair arms and hugged Xu Bai.

"Why are you covered in blood? Who are you?!"

Xu Bai grabbed Ye Zi by the neck, his face gradually turning cold.

Ye Zi's face was pale, but she couldn't help but smile.

"It's done."

It was just two simple words, but Xu Bai already knew the other party's identity.

He reached out and groped Ye Zi's face for a while, and soon removed a human skin mask.

"This is one of the few masks available from the Empty Sky Sect. It's exactly the same as the one you're wearing. No one below the Saintly Realm would notice. By the way, my other profession is with the Empty Sky Sect..."

The Ninth Princess lazily stretched out her arm and hooked it around Xu Bai's neck. At the same time, she whispered in Xu Bai's ear, "Now that the deed is done, it's too late."

"Smack!"

Xu Bai slapped the Ninth Princess across the face, his expression extremely gloomy.

I never imagined that someone who spends all day hunting geese would have their eyes pecked by one.

The human skin masks of the Kongkongs are rarely able to deceive those below the Saint level, but unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess actually has one.

Most importantly, this Ninth Princess actually knew the trade of the Empty Sky Sect and changed her body shape.

Honestly, this was something Xu Bai hadn't expected. He had considered the possibility of being assassinated for this reason, but assassination was useless against him because of his extremely strong regenerative abilities.

But who would have thought that it was all just to change her body shape, to do these things with herself?

This is... truly speechless!

The Ninth Princess was slapped, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled even more brightly.

"Heavenly Sound Master, I need a reason!" Xu Bai finished dressing and looked towards the corner of the room.

The Ninth Princess had also finished dressing and moved closer to Xu Bai.

From the corner, the old woman Heavenly Sound Master, emerged.

Xu Bai had thought about this matter for a long time, and he was certain that it was related to Heavenly Sound Master as well.

The guardian of the Imperial Treasury is this old woman, the Heavenly Sound Master. With her here, even if the Ninth Princess disguises herself as Ye Zi, she will not be able to come up.

It now appears that she not only knew about the situation, but also allowed it to continue.

Xu Bai's fingers were already covered with a layer of blade light.

No matter who you are, if you dare to scheme against me, then be prepared to learn a lesson.

He hasn't become a saint, that's good, I can kill him with one strike.

The murderous aura emanating from Xu Bai was constantly circulating.

Heavenly Sound Master smiled wryly and said, "Young Xu, I know what you're thinking, but this has nothing to do with me. If you really want to know, go ask Eunuch Wei."

Eunuch Wei? Xu Bai's sword aura dissipated, and he stood frozen in place like a piece of wood.

Her fair arms wrapped around him, and the Ninth Princess leaned against Xu Bai's chest, laughing, "Although I am from the Empty Sky Sect, even with my status, I cannot find one of the few human skin masks in the world. This was given to me by Eunuch Wei."

Xu Bai's expression became extremely complicated. He turned to look at the Ninth Princess Ninth Princess's bloodstains, suddenly grabbed her wrist, and rushed out of the Imperial Treasury.

After leaving the Imperial Treasury, he did not linger but headed towards Eunuch Wei's residence.

The Ninth Princess was being pulled along by him, stumbling and falling all the way, but Xu Bai showed no mercy to her, even though the two had just done some things.

Soon, he led the Ninth Princess to the residence of Eunuch Wei.

The eunuchs guarding the door dared not stop them, for the two people in front of them were both of extremely high status in the Imperial Palace.

Xu Bai, pulling the Ninth Princess along, stormed inside, shouting as he went, "Eunuch Wei, you must give me an explanation today."

Even if it were someone he respected, Eunuch Wei, they wouldn't try to trick him in something like this!

A gust of wind blew by, and Eunuch Wei, hunched over, stood in the corner.

When he saw the two people in front of him, he did not answer Xu Bai's question, but instead asked the Ninth Princess.

"It's done?"

The Ninth Princess nodded gently, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Xu Bai was about to speak.

What happened? He was completely baffled. Eunuch Wei pointed to the room behind him. "Let's go inside and talk."

Xu Bai didn't waste any time and went straight into the room, taking the Ninth Princess with him.

Eunuch Wei was the last to enter the room. After closing the door behind him, he spoke.

"Now, our family's last wish has finally been fulfilled."

Xu Bai: "?"

What on earth is going on now? How come the things happening tonight are getting more and more bizarre?

He didn't speak, just stared at Eunuch Wei, as if wanting to know what was going on.

Eunuch Wei said, "I'm doing this so that both you and the Ninth Princess can benefit from it."

Xu Bai: "?"

This is his second question mark tonight.

Eunuch Wei continued to explain, "The matter is like this..."

With Eunuch Wei's explanation, Xu Bai finally understood the whole story.

He finally understood why the Ninth Princess insisted on being made a king.

As a member of the royal family, the Ninth Princess managed all the businesses and finances of the Great Chu Kingdom.

To manage this well, she must understand the origins of each business.

Each business is a trade, and so far, the Ninth Princess has learned dozens of trades.

Everyone knows that specializing in one profession is the only true way out.

Learning one more thing would delay progress, and unless you're a genius, no one would do that, except for Xu Bai.

The Ninth Princess has learned dozens of professions, but so far she is still only at the seventh rank, and the Transcendent Realm is still a long way off.

Moreover, because she learned so many different trades, her lifespan actually decreased.

If he doesn't find a way to break through, his lifespan might be equivalent to that of an ordinary person at most.

Specializing in just one thing now won't make any difference, as dozens of trades are interconnected, making it impossible to specialize in just one.

Therefore, there was only one profession left for the Ninth Princess.

—Emperor! Emperor or King.

This is the most peculiar and unique profession.

Once one becomes an emperor, one can inherit the fortune and directly improve one's realm, and the realm improved is related to the region under one's jurisdiction.

The stronger the region, the stronger its overall strength.

Even if the Ninth Princess learned dozens of trades, it wouldn't have any impact.

Therefore, the Ninth Princess must obtain this fiefdom; otherwise, her lifespan will become a very troublesome issue.

"So that's how it happened," said Eunuch Wei. "They were all raised by us. We can't let them die. The First Prince has lost his fiefdom, but he often fights on the battlefield, so he has another place to go. Besides, we're doing this for your own good."

After the Barbarian Tribe conquer the land, the First Prince can take over from Rising Dusk King and become the military commander of the Barbarian Tribe territory, which is no less important than that of Enfeoffment as a King who has been granted a fief.

After listening, Xu Bai frowned and said, "For my own good?"

Once the explanation was clear, he understood. He knew that the Ninth Princess was doing this so that she could use him to obtain a fiefdom.

But he was completely confused by the last sentence.

What does "for his own good" mean? Eunuch Wei asked with a smile, "You and Ye Zi often have sex, don't you?"

Xu Bai's expression turned slightly awkward.

To be honest, he regarded Eunuch Wei as an elder, and now that an elder was asking him these questions, he naturally felt embarrassed.

But since the question had already been asked, he honestly nodded.

Eunuch Wei continued, "Have you taken all necessary precautions?"

Xu Bai shook his head.

He really didn't do this well.

Men generally prefer this feeling.

Eunuch Wei said, "That's right."

"What's right?" Xu Bai was getting more and more confused.

Eunuch Wei chuckled, "If we didn't use any protection, why isn't Ye Zi pregnant yet? The problem ultimately lies with you?"

"Have you ever thought that people in this industry who are so skilled and capable would not be able to get pregnant? Our family hired a specialist doctor to secretly examine you without your knowledge."

"You've learned too much, which is the reason for this outcome. Therefore, the Ninth Princess can help you..."

"Etc!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Bai interrupted him.

A helpless expression appeared on his face. "Eunuch Wei, you orchestrated all of this just because of this matter? No way... Whether or not to have children should be my own decision."

He realized that at this moment, Eunuch Wei was like an elder urging marriage and children, only his methods were a bit too extreme.

"I'm doing this for your own good," said Eunuch Wei. "It solves both the Ninth Princess's problem and yours; isn't that a win-win situation?"

Xu Bai: "(_)"

That's all he has now; nothing else.

It's so painful.

Speechless! "Don't look at us like that." Eunuch Wei waved his hand. "It's best to leave a seed. While we're still young, we can help you raise it."

"Besides, the Ninth Princess agreed to this. If she, a woman, agrees, what are you, a young man who got a good deal, worried about?"

Xu Bai felt that if he weren't a hot-blooded man, he probably would have already burst into tears.

What could he say? He couldn't say anything now, because Eunuch Wei even wanted to take care of his child.

Xu Bai turned to the Ninth Princess beside him and said, "Princess, I think our kind of marriage is not quite right."

The implication is that a union without affection is not a true union.

"Why?" The Ninth Princess smiled, her bright eyes and white teeth revealing her beauty. "I've said it before, of all the men in the world, only you are worthy of me. I'm willing, so why aren't you?"

"You said before that I could only be a concubine, and I am willing to do so, as is Ye Zi, because I have discussed this issue with her."

In fact, in the Ninth Princess's mind, this trip was certainly to solve her own problems, but more importantly, she herself did not reject Xu Bai.

Royal family members have their own pride, and she would absolutely not do something she doesn't like just to save her life.

But Xu Bai was different; it could be said that she had witnessed all of Xu Bai's experiences.

From humble beginnings to where he is today, his journey has been nothing short of legendary.

Just as men are attracted to beautiful women, women are attracted to heroes.

Therefore, the Ninth Princess not only did not object, but even felt it was only natural.

Xu Bai rubbed his forehead.

He knew that having multiple wives and concubines was normal in this world, and Ye Zi would definitely agree, but this sudden turn of events today left him somewhat bewildered.

Eunuch Wei patted Xu Bai on the shoulder. "Some things will become clear once you think about them. Besides, you're not young anymore. Think about it, at your age, many people have already started families and had children."

Xu Bai: "(_)"

Just now I felt a sense of dread about being pressured to have children, and now I feel a sense of dread about being pressured to get married. Why do I have to experience all this even though I've reached this position?! I'm King Xu! "I'll be going now. I need to think about it carefully." Xu Bai felt that too much had happened that night and he needed to go back and sort it out.

Eunuch Wei did not try to stop them, but saw them to the door.

Xu Bai walked very fast, but he had a tail following him.

The Ninth Princess followed closely behind, and the two gradually walked away...

After the two had gone some distance, Eunuch Wei returned to his room and coughed softly.

"Your Majesty, I truly cannot understand why you would do this."

From the far end of the corner, the Chu Emperor quietly emerged, a smile playing on his lips.

When Eunuch Wei and Xu Bai returned, both of them went to the Emperor's Imperial Study, but Xu Bai left first.

Eunuch Wei said that he had something to discuss with the Chu Emperor, and that was this matter.

Well, Eunuch Wei certainly wouldn't have done this alone, but with the addition of the Chu Emperor, the two of them together made it possible.

If Xu Bai were here, he would definitely shout that they were two old foxes, especially the Chu Emperor! At the beginning, the Chu Emperor vaguely revealed to Xu Bai his preference for sons over daughters, which was to lull Xu Bai into a false sense of security.

In fact, it was all his idea, and the ultimate goal was to bestow the Barbarian Tribe upon the Ninth Princess.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Chu Emperor said with a smile. "Think about it, with Xu Bai, it would be truly legitimate to grant the territory to the Ninth Prince."

Eunuch Wei shook his head. "Your Majesty, I know you best. If you really wanted to give the fief to the Ninth Princess, you wouldn't have done this. You only need to say one word, and the First Prince wouldn't dare disobey, and he wouldn't even complain."

The implication is that the Chu Emperor must have had a deeper meaning behind what happened tonight, something even Eunuch Wei was unaware of.

"Eunuch Wei, you don't even understand my meaning, yet you dare to do it. Aren't you afraid of harming Xu Bai?" the Chu Emperor said.

Eunuch Wei chuckled, "Your Majesty, you're probably too busy protecting him to harm him. We've strayed from the topic again. Your Majesty, you really shouldn't hide this matter from us."

The smile on the Chu Emperor's face gradually faded. He stared at Eunuch Wei without saying a word.

However, a sense of heaviness was gradually spreading through the room.

Eunuch Wei stood up straight and looked directly at the Chu Emperor.

The two stared at each other for several minutes before the Chu Emperor finally looked away and shook his head helplessly.

He knew that besides being strict about rules, Eunuch Wei was also very persistent. If he didn't speak up tonight, Eunuch Wei might find other ways to find out.

"Your Majesty, it is our honor to share the burdens of the monarch," said Eunuch Wei, bowing.

"Well..."

The Chu Emperor sighed.

"Since you really want to know, then I will tell you everything in detail."

Golden light emanated from the Chu Emperor's body, sealing off the surroundings completely and preventing their conversation from getting out.

A new volume is about to begin; this is the beginning.
