Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
207. The Destruction of the Zhou II Empire
"I guess you're Liu Haocun ?" Ask him calmly.
The golden-clothed person whom he had summoned by the name of Liu Haocun immediately walked back in fear.
"I think your strength is incredible as the leader of a place, not expecting you to even be compared to your bodyguards outside. It is only fitting that you put so much guard outside, it turns out to cover up the fact that you are a useless Emperor. " His ejek.
He continued walking forward while Liu Haocun continued to retreat backwards with a terrified expression.
"Si... Who are you ?!" Shouted Liu Haocun, the Great Emperor of Zhou.
"I ? I'll tell you my name right away, shortly before your death. Then, I can actually jump right into this window. But I chose a longer path. Do you know why ?" Ask her.
"Because I want you to be scared but not be able to do anything, seeing one by one your guards start to fall down. You're going crazy for fear !" He said while laughing.
"You know what ? The Long Clan has been your accomplice for over 3 decades and in an instant you can betray them ? I see, you don't even deserve to be called human. "She said cynically.
"Death !" He strangled Liu Haocun, he did not want his hands to be covered in morning blood.
Liu Haocun looked several times thrashing about before falling limply and a gaze filled with fear.
Not letting go of his giggles, he hung Liu Haocun's corpse on one of the highest pillars of the palace. No one can take the body until it's eaten by vultures.
He walked towards the secret room where Liu Haocun was and took all his treasures and all his money.
He burned the place down with a slow scatter force, so people could still run away if they wanted to.
Then he saw some people in fancy clothes then killed him, he had no problem letting go of the servants and soldiers.
But, not with the members of the Empire !
He killed all the remaining members of the Empire and the entire main palace had burned to the ground. He mingled with the crowd of servants and soldiers who ran over in panic.
After that, he went towards one of the inns in front of which was a hand wash. The hand wash came from bamboo, the water of which flowed from a nearby river.
He washed his bloodied hands and walked as if this was not the result of his actions but rather he was just a poor spectator who was involved in the chaos of the palace.
No one knew what was going on inside the palace, no one knew who was attacking the palace. The people who met him head-on became crazy from fear.
He walked back to the Long residence when the sun was already bright, he saw Yuanzheng Yuwen standing and seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Where have you been ?" Yuanzheng Yuwen asked worriedly.
"Just walk the road, you don't have to worry. With my strength now, it is not difficult to escape. "Take it with a bright smile.
"Are you okay ?" Yuanzheng Yuwen asked as he looked into his hand that had scratches.
"Ah this is just a small matter. " She said, she didn't realize there was a wound on her outer palm.
He immediately treated his palm and the fine wound became lost in one blink of an eye.
"Are you the one who made a mess in the Zhou Empire ?" Asked Yuanzheng Yuwen.
"That's right, you're very good at guessing. I can't hide anything from you anymore. " Take it with a childish smile.
"I was so happy when I got a really good friend like you. " His speech was thoughtless twice and cheerfully embraced Yuanzheng Yuwen's body that was much taller than her.
On the other side, Yuanzheng Yuwen felt his chest get a punch just because of the words of a friend from Xue Fenghuang.
"Forget it, do you want to eat ? My father's been looking for you. " Yuanzheng Yuwen's words distracted attention.
"Well, no problem. Sorry to make Clan Leader Long look for you. " Xue Fenghuang said with a guilty look.
"There's no need to feel guilty, we haven't started eating. " Yuanzheng Yuwen's words attempted to dispel Xue Fenghuang's guilt.
Xue Fenghuang who saw this also felt touched, in the past, who cared whether she felt guilty or felt afraid ?
Merely, in order to trust someone completely, he was still doubtful and could not do so for now.
Arriving in the dining room, it was seen that people were already sitting in their respective places just waiting for a meal.
"I'm sorry for making you postpone your meal. " Speak politely and bow.
"Forget over, let's eat. " Take Long Tian Tang warmly.
"Chairman of the Long Clan, Now the Zhou Empire is like a headless dragon. Don't you want to take advantage of this ?" Ask her when she eats.
"I don't intend to, being Emperor must fulfill all desires. While I know for sure if I won't be able to satisfy everyone's desires. There will definitely be one party who is disappointed and angry at my actions. I thought spending my old days here wasn't a bad thing. " Said Long Tian Tang.
"The wise speech of Clan Leader Long. I also thought that if I became strong, I could help everyone, but in fact it was all just wishful thinking. "Speak her while smiling to the eyes, which points to her sincerity.
"It is better to make this place without a head, so that everyone can have their own policies. I'm not sure I can lead somewhere alone either, I'm afraid that my every move will hurt one side. " Long Tian Tang said with a sigh.
He nodded and chose not to continue this emotional conversation.
They ate their food until they were finished, until he finally opened his voice.
"I'll be gone next week. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said to his surprise.
"You're going ?" Long Tian Tang asked in surprise.
"Yes, along with Fenghuang. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said.
Hearing this Long Tian Tang's unwilling face turned into a spring.
"Very good, it is better to walk together in the future. You can protect each other in the future. Then what about Qing'er and Hongli ?" Long Tian Tang asked back in a frown.
"If the two of them could just stay, I'd be lonely. Xue Hongli had been with me all this time and I felt like I was taking care of my own granddaughter. " Said Long Tian Tang.
"Shangguan Qing and Xue Hongli will indeed settle here until the two of us return, I hope father does not refuse my request. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said as he stood up and bowed his body.
He followed the steps made by Yuanzheng Yuwen for the sake of politeness.
"Of course ! What rejection ?! I'm so happy!" Said Long Tian Tang with a fiery flame.
