Chapter 123: You say let me choose, but is there any choice

Wu Nanzhi could hear that Li Chen's words meant letting her accompany him to handle official business.

A man and a woman going out like this, and Li Chen not hiding his intentions at all, Wu Nanzhi naturally understood what Li Chen wanted to do.

This guy definitely craved her body!

Li Chen must have this intention; otherwise, why would he ask her out? To go shopping?

Since you have something to ask of me, I like to seize such opportunities.

"Can you let me consider it?"

Wu Nanzhi hesitated; would this be too casual? Besides, this guy also had a family.

What would she be doing? Competing for a man with that beautiful girl?

Originally, Wu Nanzhi was very confident in her capital, but that was in Huju City; Chu Ruoyan, one of the two beauties of the Imperial Capital, was both young and beautiful, which could indeed make countless women start to doubt their own charm.

"I think you'd better agree quickly; if other women agree first, you won't have a chance." Li Chen said casually.

Since Wu Nanzhi expressed hesitation, it meant she had thoughts and wasn't very resistant to this matter.

In such times, one needs to cut the Gordian knot; as long as she agrees, she can be manipulated at will later.

Where would he give her time to consider clearly?

But this sentence sounded strange, so Wu Nanzhi said: "You are a bit too promiscuous, aren't you? Honestly confess, besides your wife, how many women do you have?"

Li Chen actually thought seriously and said: "Including you, there are three."

"That means there are two, right?" Wu Nanzhi obviously excluded herself.

"Yes, for the time being." Li Chen didn't argue about this; it was a matter of time.

This answer gave Wu Nanzhi a headache; it seemed this guy was even more promiscuous than she had imagined.

Actually, she hated promiscuous men, but liked relatively straightforward ones.

But Li Chen was both promiscuous and straightforward, which made her inner feelings very complex.

After getting along for this period, Wu Nanzhi felt again that Li Chen was different and full of charm.

Whether it was his appearance or strength, it was enough to crush all the sycophants around Wu Nanzhi.

Even crushing all the men she had seen, he was simply a one-in-a-billion existence.

Wu Nanzhi was just struggling with the fact that Li Chen had a family; after all, she didn't know Li Chen was the Emperor.

If she knew, she wouldn't struggle; after all, the identity of Emperor defaulted to the impossibility of having only one woman.

So after the maid brought the food, Wu Nanzhi made a decision while eating: "Fine, in order to prevent you from continuing to mess around outside, I'll go with you this time, just consider it helping your wife keep an eye on you."

"Just don't be a thief while keeping watch."

"Pah!"

Li Chen knew that women, well, wanted to find a reason to comfort themselves.

Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be so active.

Then he just needed to be more forceful and give them this reason.

But Li Chen looking for Wu Nanzhi, besides craving her body, also had another matter, which was his mount.

He hadn't forgotten that there was a gold-and-black holy tiger in Wu Nanzhi's body.

While eating, Li Chen said: "By the way, can you control the holy tiger in your body?"

Wu Nanzhi sighed and said: "I heard from my father that he can communicate with the holy tiger; the holy tiger understands human language but can't speak. The holy tiger appears when I encounter danger, but it never communicates with me, nor does it listen to me; I don't know why."

The holy tiger was a guardian beast passed down from generation to generation in the Wu family, and could also be considered a trump card.

Originally, it should have been inherited by Wu Qi's father and then passed to Wu Qi.

But Wu Qi's father's physique was very special, and the holy tiger was very repulsive to Wu Qi's father, so it could only be deposited in Wu Nanzhi's body first.

Hearing this, Li Chen roughly understood why.

To put it bluntly, the holy tiger was just a beast; this kind of thing was bullying the weak and fearing the strong. With Wu Nanzhi's strength, it naturally wasn't enough to make it submit, so it didn't communicate with Wu Nanzhi.

Li Chen only needed to get the holy tiger out and beat it up again.

It was like training a dog; if the dog wasn't honest, just give it a set of "dragon fruit" and "heart-warming kicks," and it would immediately be honest.

Thinking of this, Li Chen began to tempt: "Do you want to control the holy tiger in your body?"

This sentence made Wu Nanzhi's eyes light up; her cultivation wasn't very high, so she needed others to help when encountering annoying people like Ma Gao.

If she could control the holy tiger, she would leap to become a cultivator with powerful combat strength; even if this combat strength didn't belong to her itself, it could scare away countless people.

If someone else said this, Wu Nanzhi wouldn't believe it; after all, even her father couldn't control the holy tiger.

But Li Chen's strength was unfathomable; perhaps he could solve it.

"Really? But why are you helping me?" Wu Nanzhi had also been tricked by Li Chen and sensed some problems.

Li Chen couldn't say he wanted to ride the holy tiger during the day and ride something else at night.

He could only explain: "Since you've already agreed to go out with me, I'll tell you the danger of my mission this time; I'm going to eliminate monsters, which are the so-called extraterrestrial demons. If you can control the holy tiger, perhaps you can help me."

This sentence made Wu Nanzhi especially energetic, especially when hearing "extraterrestrial demons."

Wu Nanzhi lived in Huju City, which wasn't the Imperial Capital, and there were also many sects there; sects all circulated stories of cultivation world big shots defeating extraterrestrial demons and saving the common people.

She had always known that extraterrestrial demons were very dangerous, but she didn't know exactly what they looked like or what dangers they had.

Because every time an extraterrestrial demon appeared, there would be experts going to crusade against it.

Wu Nanzhi had also fantasized about being able to slash an extraterrestrial demon with one blade, save the common people, and accept the worship of the people.

Now the opportunity was right before her eyes, and she was very moved.

"Okay, then it's a deal! You're not allowed to break your promise!" Wu Nanzhi agreed very readily.

As long as she defeated the extraterrestrial demons with Li Chen, she could become a great hero!

What she didn't know was that the extraterrestrial demons in Li Chen's mouth were actually just small magic spirits that could be defeated by the Opening Meridian Realm.

As for why people in this world were keen on killing extraterrestrial demons, Li Chen had also checked many records of the royal family.

The appearance of extraterrestrial demons would plunder the cultivation resources of this world and also cultivate through slaughter.

Moreover, extraterrestrial demons were just like those powerful demon beasts, with treasures all over their bodies.

It was like a "world boss" refreshed on this continent.

As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things live."

As long as these powerful creatures were killed, the things they dropped could support very many people.

The reason the Wu family ancestor sealed the holy tiger in the body was said to be because the holy tiger had already been injured by the Wu family ancestor at that time; if it were let go, it would be targeted by other experts.

The ending would naturally be skinned and boned, and the gall and flesh were great tonics for cultivators.

So the Wu family ancestor spared it this time, considering that the holy tiger's cultivation wasn't easy, and gave it a place to recuperate.

In return, the holy tiger needed to be a guardian beast for the Wu family.

While the Wu family ancestor was still alive, the holy tiger was naturally very obedient.

But family inheritance was like this; no one could guarantee what realm their descendants could reach.

With the decline of the strength of the Wu family's descendants, the holy tiger became less and less obedient.

Not to mention Wu Nanzhi's strength; the holy tiger not rebelling was already giving face.

Last time it was released in the secret realm, it had already lost control.

If it hadn't met Li Chen, it would definitely have caused a certain degree of panic in this area; by then, the holy tiger would have needed to face the crusade of experts.

Li Chen had no desire to kill these big demon beasts, just because he was already maxed out and didn't need any cultivation resources.

Younger sister Li Sining had the system, this nanny, to raise her, so he didn't need to worry, which was why he wanted to find a mount.

Coincidentally, the holy tiger's image was decent, and its explosive power was also very strong, so it could indeed be considered a relatively high-quality mount.

Coupled with the person who deposited the holy tiger, that was even more high-quality to want to ride.

Li Chen craving Wu Nanzhi's body wasn't a day or two; this kind of plump imperial sister type indeed had a different style.

But her situation was the same as Chu Ruoyan's, and she could indeed be cultivated slowly.

After eating, Wu Nanzhi couldn't wait to follow Li Chen to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, in a forest where no one was around.

"Take off your clothes." Li Chen said.

"You, what are you doing?" Wu Nanzhi covered her body and said, looking cautious.

Li Chen rolled his eyes at her, thinking I haven't seen it before, so what?

But her shy appearance indeed made Li Chen want to tease her.

"Later I will get the holy tiger out of your body; if you don't want your clothes to be torn, just wear them."

Actually, Li Chen could communicate with the holy tiger directly, but this was a welfare session, so why miss it?

Anyway, Wu Nanzhi didn't know how Li Chen did it, and she still had to listen to him.

After struggling for a while, Wu Nanzhi still obediently took off her clothes.

After all, this was the key to controlling the holy tiger; if she missed this village, she wouldn't have this shop.

Even her father couldn't do it.

Anyway, Li Chen had indeed seen it.

Wu Nanzhi just found a reason to comfort herself. Her speed was very slow, and Li Chen just treated it as appreciation, not urging her; anyway, he had plenty of time.

After the clothes were put aside, Li Chen found various excuses, saying he had to find where the holy tiger was sealed on her body.

Wu Nanzhi was really angry and shy; she really didn't know if Li Chen was doing it on purpose, and she just let Li Chen take advantage of her.

After playing enough, a halo appeared in Li Chen's eyes, and energy was constantly injected into Wu Nanzhi's body.

With a "bang," a behemoth appeared in the forest.

The appearance of the holy tiger instantly flattened a forest.

Such a dangerous demon beast was a disaster wherever it appeared.

But in front of Li Chen, it was extremely like a kitten.

The holy tiger had just been released and hadn't had time to frolic when a person it feared appeared before it.

In an instant, its huge tiger body seemed to be frozen.

!

The majesty emanating from this man shrouded the entire area.

Behind him, it was as if there was a huge statue of a god.

In front of this statue, the holy tiger was as small as an ant.

"Don't be nervous; calling you out today is for a very glorious thing." Li Chen said, his voice shaking the heavens and earth.

The holy tiger tilted its tiger head and made a "woo" sound, as if saying: Big brother, what glorious thing?

Li Chen said: "You can choose to be my glorious mount voluntarily, or be beaten by me, and then be my mount."

Holy Tiger: "."

Good fellow, I thought it was something; it turns out the glory you speak of is this?

You say let me choose, but is there any choice?

The result is the same; the second choice is nothing more than getting beaten up again.

I don't have any masochistic tendencies.

Seeing that tiger-dazed appearance, it was indeed somewhat funny.

Having been a guardian beast for so many years, everyone had been discussing things with it; this was the first time it had encountered someone who threatened it as soon as they came up.

But the holy tiger had seen this big shot before; it had been taken down by him in one encounter last time, so it really didn't dare to provoke him.

But as the king of demon beasts, being a mount for someone like this, it was unwilling!

Li Chen had always been like this; I cultivated to this level of strength, not to reason with you, but to let you listen to me reason.

Anyway, you understand human language, so I'll use human language to talk to you.

If you don't understand human language, then "dragon fruit" and "heart-warming kicks" will serve you.

Just as the holy tiger was thinking, in an instant, a divine majesty descended from the sky, like the collapse of heaven and earth, shrouding the entire world within it.

The holy tiger felt this divine majesty and was shocked, wanting to dodge but it was already too late.

It saw an invisible "mountain" descend from the sky, smashing heavily onto its body.

Although that "mountain" was invisible, its majesty was a thousand times more terrifying than a real mountain.

Hit by this force, the holy tiger only felt that all the bones in its body were about to be shattered, and its four limbs were unable to support it.

It let out a shrill tiger roar, as if saying: Big brother, I was wrong; can I be your mount?

Wu Nanzhi, who was inside the holy tiger, was even more surprised; the holy beast passed down by their family was just bullied by Li Chen like this?

However, Li Chen seemed not to hear it and continued to apply pressure.

He was just telling the holy tiger that this was only the beginning; let's play slowly!

In an instant, the holy tiger was pressed to the ground, half of its body directly sinking into the soil.

Its eyes were filled with real fear, and the surrounding mud splashed under its struggle, raising a cloud of dust.

And the surrounding earth also began to sink under the impact of this divine majesty.

The trees in the forest collapsed under the effect of this force, making a "rumbling" sound.

Li Chen stood in the void, the divine majesty around him becoming more and more intense, like a true god, overlooking all things in the world.

Seeing that the holy tiger couldn't hold on and was about to return to Wu Nanzhi's body, Li Chen stopped.

A beast is a beast; it still needs to be suppressed.

If it weren't for Wu Nanzhi's sake, the holy tiger would have been beaten during the time it hesitated.

At this time, the holy tiger also knew that the person in front of it couldn't be provoked, so it crawled to Li Chen's side and rubbed Li Chen's arm with its tiger head.

The holy tiger's action already indicated that it submitted and was willing to be Li Chen's mount, so Li Chen let it go.

And Wu Nanzhi, who was inside the holy tiger, was stunned; seeing this scene, she also reacted.

It's over, this guy played me; he said he was taming the holy tiger for me, but it turns out he wanted to find a mount; I was wondering why this guy was so kind!

This man is really bad to the bone!

Li Chen was like training a dog, letting the holy tiger pick things up, then lie down, sit down, and even rode it to try running for a distance.

After the training was finished, he let the holy tiger return to Wu Nanzhi's body.

Here, Wu Nanzhi seriously suspected that Li Chen was doing it on purpose, because Li Chen rode the holy tiger out for a distance.

Then she had to walk back naked in the forest to get her clothes.

Seeing Li Chen's playful eyes, Wu Nanzhi didn't suspect anymore; she was sure Li Chen was doing it on purpose.

Li Chen looked at Wu Nanzhi's nervous appearance as she looked around and felt it was very exciting.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before this would become the fun between the two of them.

After Wu Nanzhi put on her clothes, she quickly restored her imperial sister appearance and then walked in front, angry.

She would never have dreamed that the greatest humiliation in her life would happen a second time.

The most annoying thing was that Li Chen had clearly taken advantage of her, seen her body, and obtained a mount, yet she still had to thank Li Chen.

After all, Li Chen did let her start communicating with the holy tiger, and the holy tiger was already listening to her.

This was the embodiment of Li Chen's ability; he achieved his goal while making people thank him.

Not only Wu Nanzhi, but wasn't Ji Lianyu the same?

Xu Zifeng, this child of destiny, went north to work for Li Chen, and Ji Lianyu still had to thank Li Chen for giving Xu Zifeng this opportunity, and would also serve Li Chen wholeheartedly.

Li Chen felt that it wouldn't be long before Fairy Youlan would also be trained well.

Returning to the Imperial Capital, Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi agreed on a time and place, then said goodbye.

At this time, Li Chen still had to go near the government office.

Lin Yue'e's record recently was indeed too high, and the government office prison was full of the Second Imperial Prince's people.

Lin Yue'e didn't need to go out personally for the interrogation; the Second Imperial Prince had fallen, and his cronies were already prisoners, so any jailer could interrogate them.

After all, after these people were released, they wouldn't restore their original status, and some serious ones would even be exiled to the border, their homes confiscated, and they would be beheaded.

What made Lin Yue'e excited was that just now, her idol, the Minister of Justice Pang Jin, had come personally to discuss with her, wanting to transfer a few prisoners to cooperate with the investigation, which was to investigate the Second Imperial Prince's past crimes.

These crimes could be suppressed when the Second Imperial Prince had power, but now it was different.

Pang Jin also wanted to understand some things about the Crown Prince from the Second Imperial Prince.

Normally, Pang Jin's official rank was high, so he would just let a subordinate come.

But Lin Yue'e was who she was, and everyone knew it.

He had to come personally.

Lin Yue'e also knew that Pang Jin was Li Chen's close minister, so she was quite cooperative with Pang Jin in handling the case.

Just when the Ministry of Justice people came to escort the prisoners away, Pang Jin kept praising Lin Yue'e for being young and promising, a pillar of the Tian Ce Dynasty, which made her very excited.

You know, when she was studying at the Combat Academy, Pang Jin was her role model, and now being praised by her role model, she was also very satisfied.

Lin Yue'e also understood that her current achievements were all bestowed by Li Chen, so she had to work harder to share Li Chen's worries to be worthy of this kindness.

Pang Jin was busy with official business, and after the prisoners were escorted away, he said goodbye and left the government office.

Anyway, the Ministry of Justice was also nearby, and the journey wasn't very far.

After Pang Jin left, someone else came to find Lin Yue'e.

Lin Yue'e felt this person was a bit familiar, but she had seen too many faces recently, and for a moment couldn't remember who it was.

The visitor was somewhat handsome, named Zou Yi, claiming to be the Empress Dowager's nephew, and his purpose in coming to find Lin Yue'e was naturally to investigate the Prince of Zhennan's son, Xu Zifeng.

He wanted to get great merit to let His Majesty bestow a marriage.

Zou Yi had inquired many times and knew that Lin Yue'e had special authority in the Imperial Capital; in order to please Lin Yue'e, he chatted for a while and even brought some gifts for Lin Yue'e; he actually didn't have too many thoughts, but in the eyes of others, it wasn't like that.

In the dark, a pair of eyes had already stared fixedly at Zou Yi.
