Chapter 303: line with translation of chapter title

Listening to Kang Linfei's words, Lu Yuan laughed again.

This old man really, whenever he gets a chance, he comes to say a few words to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan really is used to it; honestly, if that old sky-head didn't speak, Lu Yuan would feel a bit unaccustomed.

Looking at the serious Kang Linfei beside him, Lu Yuan gazed at Kang Linfei and grinned, saying:

"Don't worry about that anymore; now our Great Zhou Dynasty's medical standards are advancing rapidly, you'll at least live another twenty or thirty years.

"Just keep an eye on the cabinet and help the emperor share the governmental duties, and that'll be enough."

As for Kang Linfei's reaction to Lu Yuan's words, he blew his beard and glared, saying:

"Hey, I do want to live another twenty or thirty years—who wouldn't want to live longer—but you have to let me live!!

"Given this situation, you say how you'll let me live; you Qingbei folks are always tinkering with this and that, and every time I see it I'm on pins and needles—how can I rest easy, how can I not worry?"

"You good-for-nothing, I've been sincere all along, and in the end I'm dragged down by you—am I wronged or not?"

Seeing Kang Linfei blowing his beard and glaring, Lu Yuan grinned and said:

"Don't worry, it's definitely fine—you didn't know, did you? I have two wives, and my second wife is also quite formidable."

Ha?

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Kang Linfei stared at him with a bewildered expression.

Two wives?

I've never heard of that.

Over the years, quite a few officials have wanted to marry their daughters to Lu Yuan, but he's always refused, saying he's already married and has a wife cultivating immortality outside.

When did a second wife come along?

After Kang Linfei pondered for a while, he didn't bother wondering where the second wife came from—since Lu Yuan said she exists, she does—so he immediately asked curiously:

"What does your second wife do?"

"Is she also cultivating immortality?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then gave a slight nod and said:

"Yes, she also cultivates immortality."

After all, as things stand now, both I and my two wives are quasi-emperors.

That's just cultivation, isn't it.

Kang Linfei looked at Lu Yuan with a ghost‑seen expression.

That basically means, where did you get so many immortal cultivator wives?

After all, the previous Great Zhou Dynasty……

No……let's not talk about the past.

Even now, the Great Zhou Dynasty hardly has any immortals.

It seems there are a few immortal sects on the northern mountain range.

As a result, Prince Lie previously turned that area into a drill zone, constantly bombarding it with big cannons, and soon those few immortal sects left as well.

If they didn't leave, there was nothing they could do; they couldn't win in a fight, and reasoning……

In this world, besides Lu Yuan and the emperor, who could reason with Prince Lie?

Therefore, within the Great Zhou Dynasty's territory, there are basically no immortals.

Of course, even if there were……they probably wouldn't be very strong immortals……

How the heck did Lu Yuan……where did he get so many immortal cultivator wives?!

Of course, if Lu Yuan says she exists, then she does.

As for Lu Yuan, Kang Linfei still has his measure—this guy usually looks carefree and nonchalant.

But……

The words that come out of this guy's mouth are basically true; no, to be precise, they're all true.

No matter how shocking or unbelievable his previous statements were, they all ended up coming true.

So Kang Linfei still believes him.

Immediately, Kang Linfei asked curiously:

"What level is your second wife? Is she also a grand Sect Leader?"

Lu Yuan thought a bit, then grinned and said:

"Pretty much, basically the same level."

Lu Yuan didn't speak this time either—well, it's pretty much the same, isn't it.

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Kang Linfei then nodded in understanding and said:

"No wonder, no wonder you're so arrogant—did the emperor also know about your second wife?"

Hearing Kang Linfei's words, Lu Yuan's smile grew uncontrollably, and he nodded, saying:

"Mm, that's for sure—he definitely knows."

"Besides, we get to see each other every day."

After all, Gu Qingwan looks in the mirror every day—doesn't she just see him?

As for Lu Yuan's words, Kang Linfei didn't quite get it—how could they see each other every day?

What does that mean?

But it's not important.

Immediately, Kang Linfei looked at Lu Yuan and spoke earnestly:

"Even if your second wife is formidable, I'm afraid she'll end up just like your first wife.

And……

Most importantly, the Great Zhou Dynasty now is not the Great Zhou Dynasty of before.

These Grand Sect Leaders, even in front of Your Majesty, are not the kind of immortals who could act high and mighty as before; the Great Zhou Dynasty's current strength, you know it yourself— isn't this all something you set up yourself?

"If one day you really anger Your Majesty, I'm afraid even your two wives combined couldn't protect you."

Next, Kang Linfei began to chatter on.

And I don't know since when, the meeting in this hall has also been considered over.

At this moment, the elders of the Linglan Sword Sect also all withdrew, and the high officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty also followed suit and withdrew.

The meeting has already ended.

Tonight, Gu Qingwan and Su Liyan will set out again.

By then, all personnel of the Linglan Sword Sect will be deployed, while the Great Zhou Dynasty side will have the civil officials remain behind as the rear.

And the military officials will follow along.

Once they reach the Abyssal Continent, the military officials will all enter the battlefield and begin to inspect the terrain and such on site.

First of all, the Great Zhou Dynasty's fleet will not participate in battle right away, but that doesn't mean the Great Zhou Dynasty has to just watch the show from the start.

At the very least, in the defensive line for which the Linglan Sword Sect is responsible, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely help defend it right away.

And just as Kang Linfei was still chattering on as he approached Lu Yuan to speak.

Lu Yuan suddenly stood up.

Kang Linfei anxiously hurriedly pulled Lu Yuan and said:

"What are you getting up for? Hurry up and sit down, didn't you see the meeting going on ahead……"

Before Kang Linfei could finish speaking, he discovered that the inside of this great hall……

It seemed that, counting himself, only four people remained.

Himself, Lu Yuan……

Also, Su Liyan sitting in the center of the main hall, and……

And the Your Majesty in front of them.

At this moment, both Gu Qingwan and Su Liyan turned back to look at Kang Linfei with a half-smile.

Kang Linfei was stared at by these two important figures.

He also felt creeped out inside.

He didn't know what this situation was.

Just as Kang Linfei came to his senses and was about to stand up to say he was also leaving……

But he discovered that Lu Yuan had already come to Gu Qingwan's side.

Then, with Kang Linfei's jaw dropping to the ground, and upon Su Liyan's soft exclamation, Lu Yuan directly pulled Gu Qingwan into his arms.

The next second, Lu Yuan laughed and looked toward Kang Linfei, saying:

"I forgot to tell you just now, my second wife is Your Majesty."
