Chapter 35: Appointing an Empress, Master of the Harem

Since the faith value had basically reached its limit, Chen Junlin saw no need to continue.

With a thought! The live projection screen above the firmament, along with Chen Junlin and the nineteen Dragon Spirits several thousand zhang long, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Now, because of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, the overall attributes of the entire Daxia human race have been improved to an incredible degree. Those weak alien races are no longer of much help to me, so I can leave it to them to fight one by one!"

"Next, I'll try the ranked matches and see what ranking I can achieve!"

Chen Junlin had already made a decision in his heart; only with a higher ranking could he have more and stronger universe choices for conquest.

"However, before that, there is one more thing that needs to be arranged."

Chen Junlin raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron had a "Three Palaces, Six Courtyards, Seventy-Two Concubines" entry effect. The more concubines he had, the more base attribute boosts he would receive, and he could also gain additional national fortune every day... With such a powerful entry effect, he naturally couldn't waste it in vain.

However, Chen Junlin's ambition was not in female beauty, and he had no intention of crazily looking for women like a stud.

But no matter what, as the head of a country, he naturally couldn't be without harem concubines.

"Let the people below be responsible for taking in concubines!"

Chen Junlin pondered for a moment, and a decision was made in his heart.

Just like the ancient emperors selecting concubines, with an imperial decree, officials from all over would select women with clean backgrounds and beautiful appearances for the selection... It's just that once you enter the palace, it's as deep as the sea, and as for whether you can eventually be favored by the emperor, it all depends on your own fate and fortune.

"However, although the more concubines the better, everything depends on whether they are willing or not. But if the number is large and there is no management, I'm afraid there will be some trouble and disputes! I still need to specially select a Master of the Harem to sit in charge!"

Chen Junlin knew very well how troublesome women were and how outrageous their little thoughts could be. Many times, even trivial matters could cause a scene. Six people in a dormitory could even set up a dozen separate group chats, and then thinking of the most popular palace drama... tsk tsk tsk.

He had no intention of dealing with these small matters, so to ensure the peace of the harem, he naturally needed to arrange a nominal Empress to suppress the harem concubines.

It's just that, having traveled to this world, because his goal had always been to avenge his mother, he had no time to care about matters between men and women.

Although there were many girls who had a good impression of him because of his handsome appearance and excellent grades, no woman had ever made his heart flutter.

"Hmm?"

"Got it!"

A figure suddenly appeared in Chen Junlin's mind.

With a thought.

Relying on his absolute control over the entire Tianlan Star, Chen Junlin appeared beside a young and beautiful woman in an instant.

At this moment, Qin Xiaowei was walking by the lake alone, wearing simple sportswear, with the golden sunset spilling on her face, exuding the breath of youth.

As soon as she saw Chen Junlin, she widened her eyes, an incredible look of shock appearing on her face, and she shouted in surprise: "You... you... you... is it you?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Chen Junlin nodded and smiled slightly, gradually recalling the events of that year.

That was after his mother's funeral ended, and he was walking by the river, full of despair and helplessness. He didn't expect to happen upon Qin Xiaowei, who had come to her aunt's house for the holidays, falling into the water. The cry for help interrupted his thoughts. At that time, braving the almost freezing river water, he jumped down without hesitation to save Qin Xiaowei. As a result, he caught a severe cold due to the cold air entering his body. He had no relatives or friends at that time, and it was Qin Xiaowei who accompanied him in the hospital.

Come to think of it, at that time, he already had thoughts of death. If it hadn't been for Qin Xiaowei's appearance, perhaps he would have had a hard time reaching the point he was at today.

After all, a sunny and youthful girl had some lethality to a young man just in his ignorant adolescence.

However—

Chen Junlin was too calm. He knew he was burdened with monstrous hatred, and he didn't want to implicate Qin Xiaowei, plus the young man's kind of strong "inferiority complex," so he ignored the slight affection the other party showed.

And Qin Xiaowei soon went home for the New Year, and slowly the two lost contact.

However—

Chen Junlin knew that Qin Xiaowei had helped him, because when he was at his most difficult and helpless, he received a charitable fund. His mother grew up in an orphanage and had no relatives or friends here, and the Lu family wished he were dead, so naturally, they couldn't have given him money... And the remitter's surname was Qin, so the answer was self-evident.

And looking at the man she had been thinking about day and night.

Qin Xiaowei also felt like she was dreaming. Because she had been rejected, she clearly liked him in her heart but didn't dare to disturb him again, just wanting to keep this liking, similar to a student-era secret crush, silently in her heart... but she never expected the other party to appear here.

But soon—

She reacted immediately, knelt down to salute, and addressed him: "Greetings, Human Emperor!"

The current Chen Junlin was the Human Emperor of the entire Tianlan Star. With her status, how could she dare not to be respectful! She had also seen the scene of the global live broadcast just now clearly.

Such an unimaginably excellent man was no longer something she could hope for!

However—

Chen Junlin shook his head and smiled, stepped forward two steps to gently help her up, looked at her youthful and sunny appearance, and felt a warmth in his heart, remembering the scenes of the two of them getting along in the past.

Although short, it was an unforgettable youthful memory!

As such—

Chen Junlin did not hesitate anymore. He looked at Qin Xiaowei seriously and asked softly: "Xiaowei, are you willing to become my Empress?"

"Ah?!"

Qin Xiaowei widened her eyes, and the whole person was stunned for a moment. She had never expected in a thousand thoughts that Chen Junlin would make such a request.

This... this, is this a marriage proposal? Al, although she was very excited and expectant in her heart... but, but this was too... too fast... too sudden, right?

She was simply... not prepared at all.

Gazing at Chen Junlin's bright eyes, the other party clearly didn't look like he was joking... Her cheeks couldn't help but turn crimson, she lowered her head, and was silent for a while.

At this moment, her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't understand Chen Junlin's thoughts at all.

Chen Junlin did not urge her, waiting patiently for her answer.

A moment later.

Qin Xiaowei raised her head, her eyes flashing with firmness, and answered: "I... I am willing..."

No matter what the reason was, she had completely let go.

Over the years, she had never had the courage to take a step forward! And now—

Chen Junlin had taken the initiative to come to her and reached out his hand... If she still didn't dare to take this step, she might regret it for the rest of her life!

"Then what if I take in concubines in the future?"

"Then I will manage the harem for you and ensure that everything is in good order."

Qin Xiaowei's eyes flashed with firmness and determination.

She knew what becoming an Empress meant, and she also understood what she had to face.

However, for Chen Junlin, she was still willing! At this moment, Chen Junlin smiled.

He reached out and gently stroked her hair, as if touching that unforgettable period of youth.

He knew that his choice was indeed correct; Qin Xiaowei was the Master of the Harem he needed.
