The emperor sat on his dragon throne, studying the delegation from the Dongchang Kingdom.
He was quite curious about the treasure they had brought this time, which Wenren Luoshui had mentioned to him before.
Wenren Luoshui watched the man leading the delegation. Something about him gave off a repulsive air.
It was not that she disliked him for no reason. The aura he exuded carried the stench of someone who enjoyed slaughtering innocent civilians.
