Chapter 147

Pei Wanyu had just been pulled back from the edge of death.

She saw a man nearby with a tall figure, excellent temperament, a peerless and handsome face, and a layer of fairy mist hazily surrounding him.

This man got down from the holy tiger, and she naturally felt that it was this man who saved her.

That is why she came out to express her heartfelt gratitude.

Li Chen's 'request' just now was indeed very sudden, but she didn't think much and agreed.

In her view, this man has a mount like a holy tiger, and the force he belongs to must also be very powerful; no matter what, he is a good match for her.

Pei Wanyu can roughly understand what level the holy tiger is.

Her guardian is at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, and the Eight-Armed Demon Bear could easily flip her guardian, which proves that this guy should be of the Sage Rank.

The holy tiger can easily defeat the Eight-Armed Demon Bear, so it is at least of the Sage Rank level.

Pei Wanyu can judge that the man in front of her should be a strong person of the God-Child level, and is currently in the stage of going out for training.

This kind of man is certainly enough to match her, so she simply agreed, and the two can travel together to train and cultivate feelings.

If they have children in the future, they can also be trained as heirs to the Heavenly Martial Dynasty.

However, there is one point Pei Wanyu doesn't quite understand: her clothes are tattered and cannot cover her body; shouldn't this man give his clothes to her?

If Wu Nanzhi, who was nearby, knew this thought, she would definitely say: You're overthinking it; he wishes you would walk around here naked.

Li Chen also didn't expect that he had just met this wild beauty, and she had already thought about having children; she was simply more anxious than Li Chen.

He came here purely by accident this time, and the Eight-Armed Demon Bear was just the holy tiger playing around; now it seems he can pick up a woman for nothing.

Li Chen is not the type to be polite; since you said 'I can,' don't blame me.

Actually, Li Chen also has principles: for ugly women, he will say it's a trivial matter not worth mentioning; only for those who are beautiful will he mention 'offering yourself.'

In front of Wu Nanzhi, Li Chen often said this.

He said it just now because he saw that Pei Wanyu was indeed beautiful; even with a lot of mud on her, it couldn't cover her pretty and exquisite face.

Under those tattered clothes, she has a young and perky figure; if she cleaned up, she could probably compare to Chu Ruoyan.

As for whether she can compare, it will have to wait until they are standing together naked for Li Chen to judge.

"Why are you here?" Li Chen beckoned her to come over so he could appreciate her properly.

"I came here to train and look for treasure..." Pei Wanyu covered her full chest, walked to Li Chen's side, and recounted her experience.

Like cultivators like them, they will have some treasure-hunting tools. As long as they are within a certain range, they can sense the fluctuations of heaven and earth anomalies, and then follow the instructions on the treasure-hunting tools to find treasures.

Generally speaking, the appearance of treasures is accompanied by danger, so capable cultivators will have guardians.

If it is a mystical realm that guardians cannot enter, then they can only go in and fight for it themselves.

Like the one just now, it belongs to an open treasure, so it depends on how strong the guardian you bring is.

But who knew that the Eight-Armed Demon Bear refined the Dragon Essence, and its strength improved, almost causing them to overturn.

Actually, quite a few cultivators have already fallen around here; this is the daily life of the 'elites' in the cultivation world.

Roughly, Li Chen understands that this is just a chance encounter.

Women of this origin are relatively safe, and Li Chen will accept her without hesitation.

Since she has already agreed, Li Chen certainly won't be stupid enough to ask a second time; just find an opportunity to take her.

"Looking at your attire, you don't seem to be from the May Tian Ce Dynasty."

"Yes, I am the Eldest Princess of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty."

After Pei Wanyu said this, she kept staring at Li Chen, seemingly wanting to see a surprised expression on his face.

Didn't expect it, right? The woman you saved casually is the Eldest Princess of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty!

From now on, you are the man of the Empress.

Surprised? Unexpected?

Once you have me, you'd better thank heaven and earth!

But Li Chen's indifferent expression made her puzzled; the person opposite seems to have no interest in her identity at all.

Could it be that he doesn't know I am the heir to the throne of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty?

"What a coincidence, I am the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty." Li Chen also revealed his identity.

"I'm not joking; I really am the Eldest Princess of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty." Pei Wanyu felt that Li Chen was saying this on purpose, and mostly didn't believe she was the Eldest Princess.

Someone who passed by and saved her is actually the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty?

This Pei Wanyu certainly doesn't believe it, and she can also understand Li Chen not believing her.

"I'm not joking either; you'll know when you go to the Imperial Palace in the capital with me later."

When Li Chen said this, Pei Wanyu began to ponder: this guy dares to say this, could he really be the emperor?

If it really is, there is indeed no need to be shocked because of her identity.

Then now, the one who is shocked is her instead: she was actually able to meet the wild-roaming Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty in a wild field?

Just at this time, the holy tiger had finished eating. What made Pei Wanyu feel strange was that there was a sudden 'bang' sound in front of her, and the holy tiger actually turned into a slender and full-figured woman.

Could this be the legendary demon race?

The reason Wu Nanzhi turned back was that she found Li Chen chatting with a woman, and she thought Li Chen's peach blossom luck was heaven-defying, and he was entangled by a woman again.

After some explanation, Wu Nanzhi and Pei Wanyu could be considered to have gotten to know each other and cleared up the misunderstanding.

Only then did Pei Wanyu understand that this woman is not of the demon race, but similar to a special beast-taming cultivator; she is the sister of the City Lord of Tiger Crouching City and a consort of the current emperor.

Wu Nanzhi was also surprised that she could meet the Eldest Princess of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty here, and Li Chen asked her to offer herself, and she actually agreed.

Li Chen didn't interrupt their chat either; after all, one was dressed as if she wasn't, and the other wasn't dressed at all—the picture indeed looked very good.

Now that Wu Nanzhi knows Li Chen's identity, she naturally started to provide assists just like Chu Ruoyan, inviting Pei Wanyu to go to the capital.

Perhaps Wu Nanzhi's current thought is: if I trick a few more women into going back with me, then if Li Chen's consorts have grievances, they won't be directed at her alone.

After all, she has seen Li Chen's other consort, and she is indeed very nervous about going back to the imperial palace later.

After chatting for a while, Wu Nanzhi took a set of clothes out of her bundle for Pei Wanyu.

There were two sets of clothes in the bundle; these were prepared by Wu Nanzhi for herself to prevent having no clothes to wear when transforming. She didn't expect them to come in handy at this time.

It gave her a feeling that it was destined.

After a burst of gratitude, Pei Wanyu wanted to find her guardian.

She still remembered the direction in which her guardian was knocked away just now, and soon found the old man who was seriously injured and lying on the ground.

After taking the elixir, the old man had already begun to wake up slowly. His meridians were seriously damaged, and he had no combat power left. It is estimated that he would have to go back and recuperate for a few months before he could recover; he cannot protect Pei Wanyu for the time being.

Pei Wanyu said she would follow Li Chen to train for a while and let the guardian go back first.

Because she promised to offer herself, she had to test Li Chen's character first.

The guardian was a little worried, but remembering that the Eight-Armed Demon Bear was solved by these two people in front of him, if they had evil intentions, they wouldn't discuss it with him.

So after telling Pei Wanyu to come back early, he got up and left.

After the obstructive people left, Wu Nanzhi intended to take off her clothes and transform.

At this time, Li Chen told her there was no need for that; there was another way.

As he spoke, Li Chen stimulated his Meridian Arts, placed his palm on her body, and a powerful force pulled the holy tiger directly out of Wu Nanzhi's body.

While Wu Nanzhi was surprised at how Li Chen did it, she also questioned Li Chen why he didn't do it earlier if he had such a method, causing her to walk around in the forest naked every time.

Li Chen also explained briefly: this method is the second way to summon a holy beast—releasing the seal.

This method is relatively dangerous. If the holy tiger wants to get rid of the beast-taming cultivator, it only needs to kill the beast-taming cultivator who has a medium with it.

Of course, the danger mentioned here is indeed very dangerous for Wu Nanzhi; her strength cannot suppress the holy tiger. Moreover, when she first summoned the holy tiger in the mystical realm, the holy tiger didn't listen to her at all.

But the holy tiger has no danger in front of Li Chen; it is a pure mount.

Li Chen doesn't even need any techniques to make the holy tiger obedient.

So under normal circumstances, Li Chen still recommends Wu Nanzhi use the second method—the incarnation method.

This method has many benefits; Wu Nanzhi can hide inside the holy tiger's body to avoid attacks from the holy tiger or other enemies.

As for why Li Chen knew he could do this but still made Wu Nanzhi use the incarnation method, it was purely because he wanted to see her walk around in the forest naked; it belongs to Li Chen's personal interest.

Li Chen even dared to say it directly; after all, they are all his women, so there is no need to hide it.

Wu Nanzhi wasn't angry either; she knew this guy's bad taste had always been like this.

Pei Wanyu, who was on the side, was a little shocked: the way you two play is really special; am I also a part of your way of playing? The holy tiger seemed to understand this conversation, let out an 'Awoo' sound, and prostrated on the ground, expressing its loyalty and that it would never betray him.

It was also beaten into fear by Li Chen.

Look at how fierce the Eight-Armed Demon Bear was? It was easily handled by itself.

But when it encountered Li Chen, it had no power to fight back, so naturally, it submitted.

Now, why did Li Chen summon the holy tiger? Naturally, because he felt that Wu Nanzhi could ride it alone, and others didn't need to.

Li Chen didn't say this, but Wu Nanzhi understands Li Chen's train of thought very well; she can truly understand Li Chen's 'painstaking efforts.'

It's just that for this reason, Wu Nanzhi doesn't know whether she should be helpless or happy.

This was the first time Wu Nanzhi saw the holy tiger; Li Chen hugged her up and sat in a relatively comfortable position.

Pei Wanyu could naturally jump up by herself, but she had nothing to do with Li Chen for the time being, unlike Wu Nanzhi who could sit in Li Chen's arms as if nothing happened.

Pei Wanyu sat down in another place.

!

But when a holy tiger of this level runs, how could she sit still?

There was no need for Li Chen to use any small tricks; Pei Wanyu could only hug Li Chen from behind, letting Li Chen enjoy the pleasure of being a sandwich.

It was already afternoon when they arrived outside the capital. After the three of them got off the holy tiger, Li Chen sealed the holy tiger into Wu Nanzhi's body.

Wu Nanzhi asked curiously: "When will I be able to learn this move?"

After being in contact with Li Chen more, she felt that Li Chen doing this was very domineering, and she also had a yearning for it.

Li Chen replied: "When you cultivate to the Heavenly Abyss Realm, perhaps you will be able to do so."

He wasn't joking here; he had to consider the situation of the holy tiger.

Some cultivators need to sacrifice themselves just to forcibly seal a demon beast of the holy tiger's level.

The Heavenly Abyss Realm is just barely able to summon it, and whether the holy tiger listens or not is another matter.

Only those in the Sage Realm can summon it normally, and for a Sage Realm cultivator of Li Chen's level, it's just a matter of convenience.

Wu Nanzhi nodded and continued: "But I heard my father say that the beast-taming secret technique of our Wu family is not passed on; how do you know it so clearly?"

Li Chen said casually: "What's difficult about this? I understand all the techniques in the world after reading them once."

Wu Nanzhi: "."

I shouldn't have asked; this guy is showing off again out of habit.

What she doesn't know is that Li Chen's comprehension is indeed terrifyingly absurd.

Arriving at the capital, Wu Nanzhi enthusiastically started introducing things to her good sister Pei Wanyu.

This was Pei Wanyu's first time coming to this place; she felt that the capital of the May Tian Ce Dynasty was even more magnificent than the capital of their country.

This is the foundation of a super-power on the continent; it is indeed well-deserved.

It is worth mentioning that after getting off the holy tiger, Pei Wanyu and Li Chen were already very familiar with each other.

At first, it was Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi's intimate appearance that served as a demonstration for Pei Wanyu.

When the time was right, Li Chen moved Pei Wanyu to the front.

The holy tiger ran fast, and she was afraid of falling off; Li Chen's strength was strong, and she couldn't resist. Li Chen could naturally succeed, and now it only lacks the final step of entering the palace.

Li Chen even felt that the holy tiger is indeed like a supercar in the cultivation world; as long as a female cultivator gets on, basically no one can resist.

The simps of those female cultivators can only watch as Li Chen drives the supercar and snatches their goddesses away.

Originally, the holy tiger was just a mount; now it has been developed by Li Chen into many strange uses.

In the imperial palace, Li Sining saw that her brother brought back two this time, gave a thumbs up, and told Li Chen to keep up the good work and make the harem lively.

When Chu Ruoyan heard that there were new sisters entering the palace, she originally just intended to take a look, but ended up being pulled into a multiplayer game by Li Chen.

It was also through this opportunity that Chu Ruoyan established bonds with the two new arrivals.

Pei Wanyu also experienced the power of the emperor of a neighboring country.

The next day, Wu Nanzhi was naturally conferred as an official consort; presumably, it won't be long before the reward reaches the Wu family in Tiger Crouching City.

Originally, this kind of thing should be told to Wu Qi, who is working hard in the capital, first. But Wu Nanzhi felt that now is the time for Wu Qi to work seriously; being able to enter the Ministry of War is also an opportunity given by Li Chen.

In her view, don't disturb Wu Qi with such things for the time being; wait until Wu Qi handles things well and accumulates experience in the court, then he will have better development in the future.

This point can be decided by Wu Nanzhi herself.

As for Pei Wanyu, she still has to inherit the throne; when ten thousand nations come to pay homage, she will have to go back with the delegation of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty.

But during this period, she decided that she still had to get to know Li Chen well.

Having not attended court for a few days, Li Chen left the gentle village early in the morning.

After Chu Ruoyan woke up, she held a tea party in her sleeping quarters as taught by the Empress Dowager, letting the sisters in the harem get familiar with each other; after all, everyone will be living in the same place in the future.

Because Ji Lianyu was out on business, Chu Ruoyan only invited three people: Wu Nanzhi, Pei Wanyu, and Xia Qing.

Others can be understood, but Xia Qing doesn't understand why she was invited: aren't you Li Chen's consorts? Although everyone thinks I am too, I am really not!

However, Xia Qing didn't refuse either; it's Li Chen's home after all, and there are no classes in the Combat Academy today, so just treat it as accompanying the hostess to chat.

But the problem is, the content Chu Ruoyan chatted about was too explosive, and the other two women dared to respond, which the maiden she is couldn't stand.

There is one point Xia Qing is very curious about: when she came, she always thought that the emperor's harem was a place of power struggles, where consorts fought openly and secretly, and even stabbed each other in the back.

But after staying in the harem for a while, why does it feel like no such thing has happened?

Could it be that everything outside is a rumor, or does Li Chen have something unique? And what you are chatting about, is it something I can listen to?

In the court, with the appearance of Li Chen, today's morning court session officially began.

The newly appointed Minister of War was the first to stand out and state the good news from the northern battlefield one by one, making the court officials praise endlessly. Li Chen also nodded to show affirmation and told him to continue doing a good job.

Fighting a war is no small matter; various supplies, military equipment, and troop mobilization all require the ministers to do their best to complete.

The first battle was a victory, and what follows is a protracted war; Li Chen doesn't need to appear personally for the time being.

Next is the newly appointed Minister of Rites handing the list of ten thousand nations coming to pay homage to Li Chen.

Because to come and pay homage to Li Chen, one must also have certain qualifications.

To put it bluntly, not every force is qualified to lick Li Chen's boots.

Most of the names on the list are old faces, forces with certain qualifications in the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and various surrounding countries.

What makes people feel strange is that the Prince of Zhennan also seems to have sent people to pay homage this time.

No one knows what idea he is playing.

Next are the four major sects of the Nine Abyss Sacred Domain, which will also send representatives to pay homage respectively.

This is the first time in hundreds of years that strong people from sects have come to face the emperor and pay homage in the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Being able to make those high-and-mighty sect forces take off their halos, the court officials all feel their faces have light.

The problem that has given them a headache for so many years has finally been solved.

Even if it is only a part of the sect forces, it is enough to prove how strong Li Chen's ability is.

The Censor-in-Chief said bluntly in the court: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, natural and man-made disasters in our dynasty have decreased a lot, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and flourishing. This is enough to show that His Majesty's martial fortune is prosperous and his sagacity is boundless."

This sentence is suspected of flattery, but it is not without basis.

Since Li Chen succeeded to the throne, floods and droughts have indeed not appeared.

It is not because Li Chen's construction of water conservancy is so good, but because Li Chen hasn't been on the throne for long, and it just hasn't appeared yet.

Isn't this well-founded?

Other court officials also felt that the Censor-in-Chief was awesome; this angle of flattery is tricky.

After the flattery ended, the Minister of Justice, Pang Jin, stood out.

The court officials can see that these three newly appointed court officials are truly working hard.

The problem Pang Jin mentioned is that he wants Li Chen to expand the control over the sects; this is laying the groundwork for Li Chen to clean up the Purple Heaven Palace and the Misty Alliance in the next stage.

The court officials naturally seconded this; it is rare to encounter a Sage Realm emperor, and if he doesn't manage it, no one else really can.
