Chapter 13: What’s So Good About Being an Emperor?
“It’s actually the King of Qin, a title of utmost nobility.”
Yan Lingji’s captivating, watery eyes swept over Zhao Wu, her voice enchanting and soul-stirring: “Master, that’s being below only one person, and above ten thousand others!”
“Aren’t you two fairies enough up there?”
Zhao Wu sat up, pulling Tide Maiden Mingzhu and Yan Lingji into his arms, and smiled faintly.
These two fairies.
One was alluring to the extreme, every frown and smile, even her walk, exuded a bewitching charm.
The other was seductive to the extreme, as soft as boneless, perfectly embodying what it meant to be gentle as water and passionate as fire.
The depths here are unfathomable.
Only he could handle it.
Like King An of Han, who took the Tide Maiden back to the palace and made her his wife, but never even touched her finger. Every day, he was intoxicated and oblivious, by her Bai Yue incense, illusions, and bewitchment.
“It’s just that Lord likes it, whether above or below.”
Yan Lingji’s soft, boneless, exquisite body leaned against Zhao Wu’s chest, her long, fair fingers lightly tracing circles on his chest, her eyes seductive:
“Everyone likes it.”
Her gentle, watery voice, accompanied by her unique feminine fragrance, teased Zhao Wu’s ears and nose.
The grace of a beauty is the hardest to bear.
And there are two such fairies.
Actually, more than two.
An ordinary person would probably die within two days.
Only Zhao Wu’s Dragon God Body could handle it.
“By the order of His Majesty the First Emperor, if the Martial God offers the Dragon Core, he will be enfeoffed as the King of Qin, become a sworn brother, coexist with the country, and share wealth and prosperity!”
“By the order of His Majesty the First Emperor…”
One after another, loud voices echoed, reverberating in Zhao Wu’s ears.
Zhao Wu looked out the window and saw a general, completely shrouded in black armor, riding a warhorse, holding an imperial edict high in his hand, galloping while shouting loudly.
With his Grandmaster Peak true qi amplification, the sound reverberated through the sky, echoing throughout Shu He County.
“My heavens, he’s actually being enfeoffed as the King of Qin, and becoming a sworn brother? If only I had a Dragon Core!”
“As long as you offer it to His Majesty the First Emperor, you’ll have endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life, bringing honor to your ancestors!”
“You’re probably thinking of eating farts!”
“Besides, the Dragon Core is a divine object that can grant immortality, the Martial God might not offer it!”
“That’s right, who in this world doesn’t want to be immortal?”
“If I had a Dragon Core, I really wouldn’t know how to choose. On one hand, there’s immortality, and on the other hand, there’s the noble position of King of Qin, bringing honor to your ancestors, glory, wealth, and prosperity!”
“The Martial God isn’t an ordinary person, he might not care about worldly power and wealth!”
“Indeed! I didn’t expect the Martial God to be in our small Shu He County. If only I could catch a glimpse of the Martial God’s grace!”
“Maybe we’ve all seen the Martial God, but just didn’t recognize him!”
“That makes sense! Maybe I even ate a meal with the Martial God!”
“I even went to a brothel with the Martial God!”
“…”
As the imperial edict was proclaimed, the originally lively and peaceful Shu He County instantly erupted into a frenzy.
“Heh, they’re moving pretty fast.”
Zhao Wu smiled playfully, withdrawing his gaze from the window, and glanced at a round, blood-red sphere on the table beside him.
This sphere was like amber, crystal clear and smooth, but it contained an incomparably vast and terrifying power within it.
This was none other than the reward for being at the top of the Divine Sword List—the Dragon Core.
A treasure that could grant immortality.
Mingzhu’s eyes flickered as she watched the black-armored knight galloping on the street, and said:
“This person’s code name is Covering Sun, a top-tier assassin from the Net, a Grandmaster Peak cultivator, whose position is second only to Zhao Gao.”
“He must have used lightness skill all the way after receiving the mission, and rushed here quickly. It seems Ying Zheng is truly extremely eager for the Dragon Core!”
“Ying Zheng has been dedicated to the pursuit of immortality for years. Now that a Dragon Core that can grant immortality has appeared, how could he not be anxious?”
Yan Lingji smiled charmingly, a smile that could be described as unparalleled grace and beauty.
Mingzhu laughed: “But Ying Zheng is probably going to be disappointed. Not to mention that Lord has no interest in the position of King of Qin, even an ordinary person wouldn’t give such a treasure like the Dragon Core to someone else!”
Yan Lingji nodded slightly, her voice carrying a hint of pride and self-confidence: “Not to mention the position of King of Qin, if Master wanted it, even the position of Emperor would be easily within his grasp.”
As she said this, Yan Lingji and Mingzhu couldn’t help but look at Zhao Wu with their beautiful eyes.
People all over the world scheme and exhaust their lives for the position of Emperor, yet they cannot obtain it.
Zhao Wu clearly had the strength to take the position of Emperor, but he didn’t make the slightest move.
Does he really not want to be an Emperor?
Does he not want to ascend to this supreme position that drives all men crazy?
Feeling their gazes, Zhao Wu smiled faintly and asked:
“What’s so good about being an Emperor?”
Like Ying Zheng, who has to review hundreds of pounds of memorials every day.
When attending the morning court, it’s not even dawn yet, and you have to get up early.
That’s a hard and tiring job.
Tide Maiden Mingzhu said: “The Emperor is the supreme ruler of the world, one word can decide the life and death of millions, with overwhelming power!”
“My one word can also decide the life and death of millions!”
◈◈◈
Zhao Wu didn’t care, his calm voice carried an indescribable dominance and confidence, and said: “Imperial power can’t control me either.”
“The Emperor is supreme.”
Yan Lingji leaned close to Zhao Wu’s ear, her fragrance wafting around, her voice full of endless seduction:
“You can also legitimately select beauties from all over the world, and bring all the beauties of the world into the imperial harem!”
She knew Zhao Wu liked beautiful women, so she said it on purpose.
“Are they as beautiful as you?”
Zhao Wu chuckled, pinching Yan Lingji’s delicate face, which was white, smooth, and delicate, making it irresistible.
“Supreme? Can it withstand one of my punches?”
As he spoke, an invisible aura emanated from Zhao Wu’s body.
In an instant.

Yan Lingji and Mingzhu seemed to see a peerless Martial God, dominating the world, standing tall and upright, overlooking the world, and ruling the eight directions.
“Master’s martial path has reached the divine realm, naturally no one in the world can withstand one of Master’s punches.” Yan Lingji’s dreamlike eyes were filled with worship and admiration, and were full of affection.
“Lord is mighty.”
Mingzhu’s voluptuous and exquisite body seemed to be electrocuted, and she slumped down, clinging tightly to Zhao Wu’s chest, her beautiful eyes full of affection and spring.
Zhao Wu stretched out his palm, and clenched it tightly in front of the two of them:
“The fist is power.”
“Clenching the fist is grasping power.”
“A powerful punch is power.”
“A man cannot be without power for a single day.”
“This is my fist(power).”
Zhao Wu clenched his fist and shook it lightly.
His power belongs to himself, with the world so vast, where can’t he go?
Imperial power is supreme?
Heh, in his eyes, it’s nothing.
“Master’s insight is brilliant, it has enlightened this servant.”
Yan Lingji and Mingzhu’s eyes flickered with deep admiration, and even Nong Yu, who was playing the zither on the side, had her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance, her heart trembling.
Kiss~ Kiss~
Zhao Wu lowered his head and kissed the two little fairies on their foreheads, and chuckled lightly: “Besides, what’s so good about being an Emperor? Can you hug you two fairies and sleep until you wake up naturally?”
“You can’t!”
Mingzhu shook her head: “You have to attend the morning court!”
“Can you do nothing every day, lie in the arms of you fairies, listen to Nong Yu play the zither, and watch Xue Ying dance?”
“You can’t!”
Yan Lingji said: “You have to review memorials!”
“Can you roam freely in Flying Immortal Pavilion, Drunken Dream Pavilion, and Purple Orchid Pavilion every day, having deep conversations with the top courtesans all night long, and sleeping until the sun is high in the sky?”
“You can’t.”
Yan Lingji and Mingzhu shook their heads blankly.
How could the ruler of a country act so lightly?
Not to mention sleeping in brothels every day.
That’s simply impossible.
Zhao Wu spread his hands and said: “So, why should I be an Emperor?”
“Am I short of money?”
“Am I short of beautiful women?”
“Does anyone dare to bully me?”
Mingzhu and Yan Lingji shook their heads together.
They had followed Zhao Wu for many years, especially Yan Lingji who had been with him for twenty years.
Although they still couldn’t see through all of Zhao Wu’s power, even a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg made them realize the terror of Zhao Wu’s energy.
For example, the inns and restaurants, eight or nine out of ten of the most popular inns and restaurants in every county were controlled by Zhao Wu.
He invented hot pot, stir-fried dishes, and even extracted refined salt from toxic salt mines, earning more wealth than the Qin State’s tax revenue for ten years.
There were also famous places of extravagant consumption such as Flying Immortal Pavilion, Purple Orchid Pavilion, Drunken Dream Pavilion, and Feixue Pavilion. Although they had different names, they had a common owner behind them.
That was Zhao Wu.
Moreover, they both knew the main person in charge of places like Flying Immortal Pavilion and Purple Orchid Pavilion, it was Zi Nv, the former owner of the Purple Orchid Pavilion in Xinzheng, Han State.
Zi Nv was also responsible for intelligence gathering, similar to Mingzhu, but their division of labor was not exactly the same.
Mingzhu had taken over the Nightfall, which was once controlled by Ji Wuye, and developed it into a powerful force.
Now, Nightfall was not at all weaker than the terrifying and infamous Net.
If Ying Zheng was the supreme ruler on the surface, then Zhao Wu was the master hidden behind the scenes.
Turning his hand to make clouds, and turning it back to make rain.
