Chapter 665: Confiding Hearts: The Mother of the Future Eldest Son

Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed, and she said shyly, "I only promised to pledge my loyalty to you; who said anything about marrying you? What 'husband and wife God Position'—you're so full of yourself!"

"If you really want to marry me, that's fine, but I have a condition."

"What condition? Go ahead and say it, Xue Jie."

"I want to be your future Empress."

"Uh... I'm afraid that..."

"Afraid of what? Let me tell you, although I know you have already married Ke'er, it is impossible for me to be a concubine to Ke'er. Besides, her talent is too poor; in the future, she will only ever be able to hide behind you, and her help to you will be far inferior to mine." Qian Renxue frowned, expressing great dissatisfaction with Feihuang's hesitation.

Could there really be anyone in this world more suitable to be Feihuang's Empress than her?

Suddenly, she thought of something. "By the way, is it that Lv Lingqi... Didn't you say she was just your first love? Didn't you let her go a long time ago?"

"Ahem!" Qian Daoliu's coughing interrupted the two who were flirting. "Xue'er, discuss such private matters back in your own room. Also, the transfer of power after the surrender will be entirely your responsibility. I am going to tend to my injuries."

"Oh, and Feihuang kid, remember to have our Second Offering sent back first."

"Rest assured, Senior Qian Daoliu. I will order E Lai to send Golden Crocodile Douluo back immediately. Since you have already agreed to surrender, we naturally will not make things difficult for you. It is still in time to reattach his limbs now," Feihuang promised.

In truth, he had not expected Dian Wei to strike so ruthlessly, but it was not necessarily a bad thing.

This invisibly shortened the time for Qian Daoliu's hesitation. If they kept dragging their feet and not treating him, Golden Crocodile would truly become a cripple, unless Qian Daoliu wanted to see such a scene.

Although the healing effect of the holy attribute is not weak, it is ultimately not the life attribute. In the Dou Luo Wei Mian, the life attribute is extremely powerful. Tang San was able to use the power of life to treat Tang Hao, whose arm had been severed for many years, and re-inject vitality into his severed limb, even though the Blue Silver Emperor had been half-ruined by the Grandmaster.

But this bit of holy attribute cannot do that; this kind of attribute is stronger at purification rather than restoring life force.

After Qian Daoliu left, Feihuang took Qian Renxue's hand and walked skillfully to her room. After all, having lived in Wuhun City for a month, he was very familiar with the way to her room.

There were still several of Feihuang's clothes in her room, all prepared by Qian Renxue for the day he would come to stay and need a change of clothes.

Qian Renxue was pulled back to the room by Feihuang, still looking very unhappy.

In fact, Feihuang had long anticipated this scene. It would be strange if Qian Renxue could accept it once she learned the true relationship between him and Lv Lingqi.

Fortunately, Feihuang had already thought of a perfectly legitimate excuse.

Xun Yu had taught Nan Feihuang a good method: when encountering such things, just find someone to take the blame.

And the target for Feihuang's blame was Bibi Dong.

"Xue Jie, the reason I cannot directly make you Empress is exactly what you guessed just now. There are two points. The first is precisely because of Lingqi, but there is a reason for that. Do you remember the assassination attempt on me by Bibi Dong a few years ago?" Feihuang asked.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue subconsciously said, "Your relationship with Lv Lingqi is related to that assassination?"

Feihuang nodded and lied through his teeth, "Yes, that assassination was carried out by Bibi Dong in your name. At the time, I truly thought you were the one who wanted to kill me, and I fell into a complete breakdown. During that time, it was Lingqi who silently stayed by my side and encouraged me, allowing me to walk out of the shadows and get back on my feet. It was also at that time that she walked into my heart again; I even had the thought of completely forgetting you and making Lingqi the person I loved most from then on." "It wasn't until later that I found out you were unaware and that Bibi Dong had acted in your name. But the die was cast; since I had already promised Lingqi a three-life vow, I would never go back on it. Moreover, in this war, Lingqi's contribution was so great that you must have heard it just now. Every court official in the Gulei Empire must be convinced by her now. Do you think that if I become Emperor, I can bestow the position of Empress upon someone else and abandon Lingqi, who has supported me, helped me, encouraged me, gained the support of the court officials, and performed such great service?"

"Bibi Dong, it's actually because of Bibi Dong again!!!" Qian Renxue subconsciously clenched her fists.

This mother was simply born to sabotage her daughter. If not for her meddling, which caused her and Feihuang to have a falling out due to a misunderstanding, that Lv Lingqi would never have been able to take advantage of the situation.

She admitted that what Feihuang said was right. The contributions Lv Lingqi had made were simply too great; she held the primary credit for resisting the Spirit Empire's attacks and had successively killed multiple Title Douluo.

If not for the fact that Feihuang also had the achievements of pacifying Star Luo and single-handedly breaking into Wuhun City to force the surrender of the Spirit Empire, one could almost say her merits overshadowed the master.

Under such circumstances, Feihuang really could not easily bestow the position of Empress upon someone else, unless she herself gave it up.

After all, if Feihuang ignored such great merits from Lv Lingqi, it would inevitably chill the hearts of countless subordinates.

But she was unwilling; clearly, she was the one Feihuang loved most.

Just then, Feihuang hugged Qian Renxue's slender waist from behind and laughed, "Actually, Xue Jie, you don't need to mind, because although I won't make you Empress, I won't make Lingqi Empress either. In fact, I never intended to be Emperor at all. This is the second reason I couldn't agree to your request."

"You aren't planning to be Emperor?" Qian Renxue was startled. She had always thought that Feihuang's ambition to conquer the world was because the stimulation from that assassination had caused his ambition for power and desire for strength to suddenly grow.

Feihuang laughed, "Yes. Actually, the reason I wanted to conquer the world at first was just because I thought it was cool and fun. Later, it was because of my Peerless God General assessment. In reality, I don't want to be Emperor at all. Being an Emperor is so troublesome! I still prefer a comfortable and carefree life. The life I dream of most now is listening to Ke'er play the zither, watching Lingqi dance with her sword, and then holding you in my arms to drink and make merry."

"Bad guy, your ideals are truly degenerate!" Qian Renxue retorted. "Then what about your country? You can't just give it to someone else. This unified continent is the result of countless people's efforts. If you don't become Emperor, who will take over in the future?"

Feihuang smiled slightly, "My father is still in his prime. As a Title Douluo, it's no problem for him to serve for another hundred years. But I estimate that after twenty years at most, he will want to go live a life of immortal lovers with my mother. But that doesn't matter; by then, my offspring should be grown up. I promised Wenruo that my eldest son would be handed over to him to be taught into a qualified generation of emperors. If my own child inherits the throne, surely no one would dare to object, right?"

Qian Renxue nodded, "That's true!" Then her eyes lit up, "By the way, Ke'er and that Lv Lingqi don't seem to have given birth to any children for you yet, right?"

"Yeah, one is an Empress, the other is a female Marshal; they are both busy now and don't have time to have children for me," Feihuang said gloomily.

Qian Renxue smiled mysteriously, "That's good!"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the mother of the child who inherits the throne in the future has a chance to be me!" As she spoke, Qian Renxue's hair suddenly turned white, and she pressed against Feihuang's face, leaning directly in.

"Wait, Xue Jie, let me turn off the lights first. There is a group of people watching the show in my Spirit Sea; let me seal it off."

"Then hurry up!"

"Oh!" As he spoke, Feihuang tapped his finger on his forehead, sealing his Spirit Sea.

Instantly, the Spirit Sea went pitch black. Snow Maiden shouted in dissatisfaction, "Little brother Feihuang, you stingy thing! What's wrong with letting your sister watch? Your sister doesn't even know how people create children yet. So stingy!"
