Chapter 361 Long Yufei: Finally, I can come clean with my sister
Everyone heard Chu Xin's mutter and couldn't help but twitch their mouths slightly. Such powerful divine skills, and this brat only wanted to use them for spanking?
In their minds, they recalled the thirty-feet-tall Golden Giant, and they still felt a tingling scalp.
Even Long Shaotian, who underwent the Blood Demon Transformation and reached the Blood Buddha Realm, was almost helpless, that Golden Giant was truly terrifying.
Long Yurou glanced at Chu Xin, who had already been transported out, then turned her head towards Long Yusheng, saying indifferently, "Long Yusheng, the contest has ended. Return to Longzhou to defend it promptly, lest others take advantage of any weakness."
Long Yusheng stood up, bowed to Long Yurou, and said, "I will heed Your Majesty's command."
Although the outcome of the contest with the Heavenly Pride of the Central State greatly exceeded his expectations, his goal had nevertheless been achieved.
Delaying the Martial Emperor of Central State and testing whether the Empire had a new Guardian God, these tasks were basically completed.
The only thing that really irked him was that, in the end, the contest between the Heavenly Prides of the two states was lost to a brat under five years old.
Thinking of the golden energy on the brat that could dissolve the Blood Demon Energy, he felt filled with murderous intent. However, now was not the time to act; if he truly angered the Empress and she summoned the Guardian God, his three companions who were Half-step Martial Gods might not be able to withstand it.
Although they claimed that the three of them together could match a Martial God, he had never actually witnessed this. Martial Gods were the most powerful beings in Jiuzhou, and in his heart, cultivators below Martial Gods could not contend with a Martial God. Hence, he was still skeptical about their claim.
Yet the three of them came from the Divine Realm, presumably possessing some powerful methods. Perhaps they really wouldn't be defeated in a real fight, but there was no need to find out just yet.
"This visit to the Central State has allowed me to thoroughly understand the strength of the Central State's Heavenly Pride, indeed formidable and admirable. I shall return to Longzhou now."
Long Yusheng showed a faint smile and continued, "However, with the Rebel Army from Fire State and Cloud State coming fiercely, should Your Majesty issue a decree, I will definitely lead an army into Central State to lend Your Majesty a hand."
"A mere Rebel Army, I can suppress them myself; there's no need to trouble the State Governor of Longzhou."
Long Yurou's demeanor remained calm, showing no sign of joy or anger. After speaking, she turned to look at Long Yufei, "Yufei, see the State Governor of Longzhou off on my behalf."
"Yes."
Long Yufei nodded, stood up to face Long Yusheng, and said with a cold tone, "State Governor of Longzhou, please."
Long Yusheng looked at Long Yufei and laughed, "Yufei, you should call me 'big brother' based on our ages."
Long Yufei rolled her eyes, her tone still icy, "I only have one sister, no brothers."
She was not like Long Yurou, who concerned herself with so many things. For those coveting the Empire, she would not show any good grace.
Long Yusheng just smiled and didn't take it to heart, then turned to look at Long Shaotian, who was sprawled on the platform, and frowned slightly, asking in a deep voice, "Can you walk?"
Upon hearing this, Long Shaotian endured the severe pain in his buttocks, got up from the ground, glared at Chu Xin resentfully, and left without a word.
"Your Majesty, we take our leave."
Long Yusheng bowed once again to Long Yurou, and then led the people of Longzhou away.
Long Yufei personally escorted them to the Transmission Array, set the destination to Longzhou State City herself, and only after seeing them transported away did she return comfortably.
"Ai Chirou, you played a decisive role in defusing this crisis, what reward would you like?"
Long Yurou looked at Chu Xin, who was now on the platform washing his hands, eating grilled meat, and drinking Beast Milk, with a smile appearing on her face for the first time.
Chu Xin blinked his round eyes, puzzled, and said, "Didn't the Empress say that as long as I win ten consecutive matches, we could go to the Royal Treasury and choose treasures at will? You're not thinking of going back on your word, are you?"
"When have I ever reneged on my word?"
Long Yurou smiled faintly, "Is it not just a matter of selecting some treasures? A small matter indeed." She even felt that this wasn't sufficient to match the merit that brat had achieved. Thinking of the backing behind that brat, she pondered for a moment before tossing a golden token toward Chu Xin, saying, "This is the Golden Dragon Token, the highest level token of the Jiuzhou Empire. With this Golden Dragon Token, apart from my sleeping quarters, the Martial God Mansion, as well as the Forbidden Lands in various Holy Lands, you may go anywhere in Jiuzhou."
Of course, this would be during peacetime, but now with Jiuzhou in turmoil, the Golden Dragon Token might not be effective in many places.
"I may go anywhere?" Holding the Golden Dragon Token, Chu Xin's round, big eyes glittered with excitement.
Even Chu Chen, who sat leisurely eating roasted meat and drinking beast milk, jumped up from his chair.
In that case, with this token, couldn't he just go to the Heavenly Prison?
"Of course! But you can't go to my sleeping quarters, Martial God Mansion, or the Forbidden Lands of the various Holy Lands,"
Long Yurou replied with a smile.
"Oh."
Chu Xin nodded, happily putting away the Golden Dragon Token. She had no interest in the Empress's sleeping quarters or the Martial God Mansion; she only wanted to go to the Heavenly Prison to rescue her mother. As for the Forbidden Lands of the Holy Lands, if she wished to go there, she wouldn't need the Golden Dragon Token anyway.
"Yu Fei, take them to the Royal Treasury to select some treasures,"
Long Yurou said to Long Yufei, who had just returned not long ago, with a smile.
"Yes!"
Long Yufei nodded.
Long Yurou then turned to Ye Hongxue and said, "Ye Hongxue, you have also contributed greatly by bringing them back to Imperial City, so you accompany them to select a few treasures as well. Furthermore, from now on, you are promoted to be the Commander of the Jiuzhou Inspectors, specifically responsible for gathering information sent back by the Inspectors and reporting it to me. As for the Demon State Inspector, I will appoint someone else." Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Hongxue quickly expressed her gratitude.
"Go now."
Long Yurou waved her hand and waited for everyone to leave before she finally sighed deeply. Then she got up and walked towards the Martial God Mansion; so many days had passed, and she wondered how many Blood Demon Masks the Guardian God had crafted. With enough Blood Demon Masks, she could completely plant a large army in the Illusion God Mountain Range. Should there be any trouble in Longzhou, they could launch a direct assault.
Meanwhile, Long Yufei, who was leading Chu Xin, Chu Chen, and Ye Hongxue to the Royal Treasury, also felt a sense of relief.
She had concealed the identities of the two children; if anything were to happen to them, her death would be insignificant, but still, she chose to hide it, not wanting her sister to have too many worries.
If she had revealed the children's identities to her sister earlier, the outcome of today's contest might have been completely different.
Knowing the truth, her sister definitely would not have allowed her own children to risk the adventure in the Illusion God Mountain Range.
Without venturing to the Illusion God Mountain Range, Ai Chirou might not have made a breakthrough by now.
Without a breakthrough, Ai Chirou, facing Long Shaotian enhanced by both the Blood Demon Transformation and the Blood Buddha, might truly lose.
Moreover, during the match with Long Shaotian in the Mimic Space, when Ai Chirou was struck by the Blood Lotus Demon Fire, her sister might actually have agreed to Long Yusheng's demand and stepped down from power in exchange for a chance to save Ai Chirou.
Fortunately, the outcome was perfect.
Once the two brats had finished selecting their treasures, she could calmly reveal their whereabouts to her sister.
What expression would her sister have upon learning the identities of the two children?
The thought was rather exciting.
