What are you saying, buddy?
I risked my life, putting my head on the line, to fight Shrek, and after all this preparation, you just want me to chase after a black guy!
Su Yun had seen the dark skin of the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Family family before; even if he hadn't before, he had now seen it when facing the emperor directly.
Su Yun didn't know how Xiao Xiao could bring herself to do it, but Su Yun couldn't bring himself to do it to a direct descendant of the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Family.
"Your Majesty, isn't this reward rather inappropriate?"
Jing Hongchen spoke up to remind him.
He didn't want anything to happen between Su Yun and Xu Tianzhen.
If possible, Jing Hongchen wants Su Yun to get along well with Xiao Hongchen so that Meng Hongchen's husband.
In this way, if we wait another twenty or thirty years, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen's husband will all be Titled Douluo, and Su Qingxue, his disciple, will also be Titled Douluo. His disciple and grandson-in-law's family will also have other Titled Douluo.
At that time, with the connections of the Hongchen Family and his own potential to reach the level of Level 10 Soul Engineer, he could have taken over Kong Deming's position and become the true master hidden behind the scenes of the Sun Moon Empire.
Why did he do so much work but never ask Su Yun for anything? It was all for the sake of investing now and getting benefits in the future.
Now, the Sun Moon Emperor is actually planning to steal it away. How can Jing Hongchen possibly accept this?
If Su Yun really manages to abduct the Imperial Family, it's hard to say whether he will become the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire, or whether Su Yun will become the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire.
"What's inappropriate about it? To defeat Shrek Academy regular member with the strength of a reserve member—that kind of talent is more than enough for Tianzhen."
"I am not a rigid person, and I don't care that much about social status. Besides, I only gave Minister Su the opportunity to pursue Xiao Tianzhen, not bestowed a marriage upon them."
"It's just that she's naive and has a bad temper, so you'll have to be more tolerant of her in some situations, Su Aiqing."
The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire waved his hand, thinking himself very magnanimous.
But those words reminded Su Yun Su Yun of the time when the Third Prince colluded with Evil Soul Master to plot against the Su Clan.
Back then, Su Yun wanted to exterminate the Imperial Family family of the Sun Moon Empire, and now that he's faced with this situation, he's even more determined to do it.
If it weren't for the threat from the Holy Spirit Cult, Su Yun would have wanted to order the Snow Empress to kill the Sun Moon Emperor right now.
Five years. If we just wait another five years, the Su Clan will have dozens more Titled Douluo, and I will reach the level of Dou Wang or Dou Emperor. The Imperial Family of the Sun Moon Empire, including Su Yun, will be completely wiped out.
"Your subject understands."
Su Yun didn't say much; he didn't want to exchange another word with the Sun and Sun Moon Emperor.
"Indeed, my dear minister. Tianzhen likes to be a little mischievous, but that's precisely what makes her so adorable. You two can get to know each other better over time. If Tianzhen agrees, I will arrange your engagement in two years. Once little Tianzhen comes of age, you will be her consort."
Su Yun didn't reply, because he was afraid that if he did, the Sun Moon Emperor would want to kill him right now.
After a celebratory banquet where everyone except Su Yun was very happy, Su Yun didn't want to stay in the palace for another minute. He just wanted to go home as soon as possible, then head to the Dou Qi Continent to the Jia Nan Academy, get a high-level Magic Core, and improve his strength.
Meanwhile, the emperor returned to his palace, reeking of alcohol.
He was in a good mood, having won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament on his very first victory since ascending to the throne.
So many emperors in the past had failed to win, but his era had succeeded, which gave the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire much more confidence.
Even if he were to dream again of chasing after his nephew and running into his father, he wouldn't dare stand up and question his father: when his elder brother ascended to the throne, had the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy ever defeated Shrek Academy?
He defeated Shrek Academy in his first Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, and even in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy still managed to defeat Shrek Academy.
Who was in power during which this unprecedented and likely unparalleled spectacle occurred?
He is the one more suited to be the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire; his father was simply blind to his worth.
At this point, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was no longer afraid of dreaming about his father; he was even afraid of not dreaming about his father at all.
If he doesn't dream of his father, it proves his father is blind, and his sense of victory will immediately be halved.
Thinking this way, the Sun Moon Emperor felt extremely comfortable, and this mental comfort would be reflected in his physical health.
After the victory banquet, the Sun Moon Emperor seemed to be about to break through his cultivation level. As he sat cross-legged and circulated his Soul Power, his Soul Power, which had been stagnant for a long time, increased by one level in no time.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your extraordinary blessings! With Your Majesty's current state, once you break through to the Titled Douluo, you will surely be able to rule our Sun Moon Empire for another hundred years."
The imperial physician had originally examined the Sun Moon Empire's emperor after he got drunk, but with the Sun Moon Empire emperor's breakthrough in cultivation and his spirited demeanor, everyone knew that the Sun Moon Emperor was now perfectly healthy.
"Well said, reward me!"
The Sun Moon Emperor was in high spirits. Originally, he had been living in nightmares because he couldn't face his father after seizing the throne from his elder brother. His cultivation not only couldn't advance, but it even showed a slight tendency to regress.
But now that his nightmare has been broken, and he even has the confidence to stand up to his father, he is no longer the sickly, dying background character from the original story.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your imminent promotion to Titled Douluo! This is a great honor for our Sun Moon Empire!"
A figure emerged from the shadows of the palace and respectfully bowed to the emperor.
"No need for formalities. It is thanks to your reminder that I was able to think of bestowing Tianzhen's future marriage upon her."
"This not only finds a good husband for Tianzhen, but also gives my Sun Moon Empire another pillar of strength in the future, and can even improve the talent of my Imperial Family. This is a win-win situation, and I thank you in advance."
"Your Majesty need not do this. It is our duty as citizens of the Sun Moon Empire to share Your Majesty's burdens."
The Sun Moon Emperor said nothing about the visitor's sensibility, but he secretly nodded in approval. If the visitor dared to take advantage of the situation, he would not say anything openly, but he would have to consider the visitor's circumstances later.
Back when he was a prince, he couldn't tolerate anyone who dared to be so casual in front of him. Now that he's the emperor, he's even less tolerant of those who are arrogant and boastful in front of him.
Anyone who dares to boast or act arrogantly in his presence will have to be dealt with by him.
"Thank you for your trouble, my dear minister. May I ask what brings you here today?"
"Your Majesty, it's like this. I've noticed that Su Yun doesn't seem very satisfied with Your Majesty's bestowed marriage."
