Several dozen breaths passed Bibi Dong hand gently caressed Lin Chen's burning chest. "But husband, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is, after all, the Erlong Sister's maternal family. Wouldn't it be...?"
Lin Chen gently pinched the plump flesh behind her and said softly, " Erlong should understand us. She doesn't have any direct relatives in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. At worst, we can consider her side when carrying out the plan."
"If the Heaven Dou Empire is unstable, it could very well affect your Spirit Hall Empire's unification of Douluo. Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is jumping up and down so much, let's wipe them out first, as a warning to others!"
Although Bibi Dong was usually aloof and cold, she was incredibly tender towards Lin Chen: "What do you mean, your Spirit Hall Empire? That's ours!"
Lin Chen's lips curled slightly upward. "I'll say it again: the empire is yours, and you are mine!"
Bibi Dong suddenly asked, "Does it belong only to me, or to us?"
Lin Chen's expression froze for a moment. "Ahem... Madam, what do you mean by this?"
"Hmph~" Bibi Dong snorted lightly, her jade-like hand pinching his waist hard. "Don't think I don't know about your relationship with her. Last time when you took control of the Heaven Dou Empire, things went quite well, didn't they?"
"Hiss hiss hiss..." Lin Chen went limp in pain and quickly begged for mercy, " Dong'er, spare me! I was just trying to resolve the conflict between you two!"
Bibi Dong's cool voice revealed a hint of disdain. "She's just a little girl. What difference would it make if she had another twenty years?"
Lin Chen comforted him, " Xue'er alone isn't much of a threat to you, but she also has Qian Daoliu behind her, so we have to be careful."
Bibi Dong looked at him with a half-smile, " Xue'er, how intimate of you two are. Tell me, how far have things progressed?"
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace
Qian Renxue, dressed in a white-gold imperial robe, strode back to her palace. She then removed her disguise, revealing a beautiful but extremely cold and aloof face.
"First the Balak Kingdom, then the Alpha Kingdom. These two great duchies haven't attended court for half a year. Now, several more noble leaders in the capital dare to openly contradict me. They've really gone too far!"
Over the past year, Qian Renxue has implemented benevolent policies that have benefited the country and its people. She has recruited Soul Master Legions and expanded the central imperial power. Heaven Dou City have been replaced, and the five commanders and one hundred junior commanders are almost all her confidants.
However, the Heaven Dou Empire will eventually have to submit to the Spirit Hall Empire, so simply controlling the capital, Heaven Dou City, is far from enough. She also needs to control all the Soul Master legions of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Heaven Dou Empire is located in the northern part of the Douluo Continent, covering a vast area. Its directly controlled territory is divided into five provinces, and it also has four duchies under its jurisdiction. Each province and duchy has its own Soul Master Legion, but the strongest is the Heaven Dou Royal Legion.
The Soul Grandmaster legions and the four kingdoms are closely connected with the dozen or so noble families of the Heaven Dou Empire. They are loyal to their own rights, and the Xue Family is second only to them.
If Xue Qinghe suddenly announces that the Heaven Dou Empire has joined the Spirit Hall Empire, these people, in order to prevent their rights from being diminished, may very well take the risk and declare independence.
Therefore, during this year, Qian Renxue continued to infiltrate and control the Soul Master Legions of the five major provinces and four major duchies, and now she has half of the Soul Master Legions under her control.
If things go smoothly, she will be able to completely control the entire Heaven Dou Empire in less than a year. Unfortunately, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been acting dishonestly lately, frequently colluding with the Balak Kingdom and the governors of the two major provinces, showing a strong intention to secretly form an alliance to resist.
Xiao He, the personal maid, said, " Your Highness Xue, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is undoubtedly undermining our foundation by doing this. Should we apply to His Holiness the Pope have them wiped out directly?"
Upon hearing that woman's name, Qian Renxue couldn't help but imagine scenes of her being intimate with her beloved, and her pretty face instantly darkened. "How many times have I told you, don't mention her in front of me!"
"Besides, I already passed on this information a long time ago. If she really wanted to resolve this problem, she would have sent someone to take action long ago."
Xiao He said weakly, " The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has close ties with the Clear Sky Sect. His Holiness the Pope may be worried about angering Tang Chen and the Clear Sky Sect, especially since we just gained control of..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qian Renxue eyes, and he immediately shut up.
" Xiao He, when did you learn to speak up for her?"
Xiao He, Qian Renxue's personal maid, has been with her for over a decade. The two are like sisters, and Xiao He has been by Qian Renxue's side on several occasions when she was on the verge of collapse.
Although Qian Renxue said this, she knew in her heart that although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was easy to destroy, it would be difficult to eliminate the consequences. If the Clear Sky Sect was forced to come out of seclusion and join forces with other kings and governors with ulterior motives, things would probably be even more difficult.
The Spirit Hall wants a complete Heaven Dou Empire Heaven Dou Empire, not a fragmented one...
Tap tap...
Just then, the Enshrined Jiang Mo arrived outside the inner hall. "Your Highness, the His Holiness the Pope sent word that she has ordered the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. After the deed is done, you are ordered to ensure the stability of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Spirit Hall is free to handle the Clear Sky Sect."
Qian Renxue replied expressionlessly, "Understood."
If she could step in and stop the Clear Sky Sect, then the few remaining kings and governors would be unable to cause any trouble.
Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace
In a dark green bedroom on the fourth floor, Lin Chen lay sprawled on a soft couch, with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing nestled in his arms, their watery eyes gazing shyly at Liu Erlong.
At this moment, Liu Erlong was almost naked, wearing only two black leather jackets and black over-the-knee boots on her plump and shapely long legs. Due to her posture, her large, round buttocks appeared even fuller and rounder.
Lin Chen lovingly stroked the back of her head and softly asked, " Long'er, do you have any complaints about my arrangements for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Liu Erlong slowly raised her head, a bitter smile appearing on her beautiful face, "I am already content that Master informed me beforehand; I do not desire anything more."
Xiao Wu, feeling sorry for her, pleaded with misty eyes, "Master, please help Mother!"
" Xiao Wu, stop talking~" Two lines of clear tears streamed down Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes. "This servant believes that Master will not touch the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan unless absolutely necessary, so how could this servant put Master in a difficult position~"
Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice rang in his ear. " Brother Chen, please help Aunt Long ~"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, " Long'er is not only your elder, but also one of my most beloved women. Who says I won't help her?"
