The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 99

“Ah Jue, tonight you must not leave your room.”

A soft childish voice sounded. “I will obey mom.”

“Good son.”

Xie Hongyi rubbed Prince Jue's head. At this moment, he was accompanying her to relax at the child's residence.

The atmosphere in the current Palace was quite strange. All of its residents showed a wary look even though they continued to carry out their duties. Maybe everyone also knew that something big was going to happen, so they were being careful.

Tonight, an internal war will ensue. There will be great bloodshed and the roaring cries of the lost. Tonight too, the fate of the Southern Kingdom will be determined, whether this Kingdom will remain controlled by the rightful person, or taken over by the person who wants to seize it.

But at this moment, inside the majestic and large Palace, the atmosphere was still serene and it was a calm before the storm.

Xie Hongyi lazily sat down next to Prince Jue. On the side, Prince Jue was playing a feather system that deliberately did not activate camouflage mode. On the look on his face, Xie showed great curiosity. He wanted to know how Huang Long and Shi XuanRan's meeting went. Have they started attacking each other? Or do you still live like an old friend?

But Xie Hongyi was still patient, as he was sure all his curiosity would be answered soon.

In a garden near the palace.

The spring rain had stopped, leaving a wet trail that could be seen everywhere. On this afternoon, the wind blew quite hard. The air becomes cooler.

In a hut with a wooden roof, Huang Long and Shi XuanRan sat face to face. In front of them, there were two cups of black tea that gave off a delicious aroma.

“Your Majesty, how are you?” Shi XuanRan asked casually.

“Thanks to you, I can't relax.” Huang Long replied no less calmly.

Shi XuanRan said again as if not knowing what the implied meaning of Huang Long's words was.

“I think you'll be fine.”

The two of them looked like two friends who had not seen each other for long. However, everyone could see there were flashes intertwined in both pairs of their eyeballs. The atmosphere was also quite cold, not because of the wind but because of the aura released by the two.

Now, it was Huang Long's turn to ask. “Did you plan all of this a long time ago?”

Shi XuanRan asked back. “Why does His Majesty ask? Don't you already know the answer?”

Huang Long was silent for a moment. He stared at the indifferent man before him fixedly. “So, this is what you wanted all this time?”

Huang Long watched the figure in front of him. He used to trust this former right hand man so much, but that trust was shattered instantly by the reality that occurred. He could only now regret why he had not noticed it in the past. Shi XuanRan was really good at hiding, no more precisely this fellow was good at manipulating. Manipulating himself to put his full trust in her.

Shi XuanRan laughed out loud. “Hahaha, yes that's what I want. Want you to die.”

With a wave of his hand, several people in black clothes carrying weapons suddenly appeared and tried to attack Huang Long. The attack was then held back by a sword belonging to guard Huang Long that also suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The two sides then fought in front of the cottage and caused the surrounding plants to sway.

“Kurasa, our conversation is not finished.”

Huang Long was currently shaken. The person who most wanted him dead turned out to be the person he had always called a friend. But, Huang Long managed to hold himself back. He's been through this since he was a kid. There used to be some people who pretended to be good to him, but it turned out that they kept a knife in his back and were ready to stab Huang Long at any time. Huang Long did not understand such a type of person, one who was happy to play around with a party that had nothing.

But Shi XuanRan was different. Right now, he was emitting an enormous killing aura. He was ready to smash his sword into Huang Long's body.

Shi XuanRan's voice rang out again. “I know. I'm just trying my luck. Maybe you could have died here.”

He then picked up a cup of tea on the table and started sipping it. Huang Long who saw Shi XuanRan's actions, followed him. He was about to bring the teacup closer to his lips, but an object first flew towards him.

It turned out that it was the teacup Shi XuanRan threw. After making the first move, Shi XuanRan tried to attack Huang Long.

Huang Long nimbly avoided the fist directed at him. Undeterred, Shi XuanRan tried another move. He tried to hit Huang Long on the head, and was successfully restrained by the man. Then, Shi XuanRan jumped up and lunged at Huang Long. The South Emperor quickly moved his body.

Huang Long and Shi XuanRan fought empty-handed. As a result of the actions of the two, the two cups of tea broke into pieces and the sturdy wooden table split apart. The pillars supporting the hut also suffered cracks.

Shi XuanRan realized something was wrong. His intention of attacking Huang Long was to test the ability of that man who was being gnawed at poison. But since his first move, Huang Long could dodge all of his attacks. No, it shouldn't be like this. What Shi XuanRan expected was Huang Long's weakened body, not Huang Long who could eliminate the poison.

The palms of the two clashed together and as a result of the great inner power, Huang Long and Shi XuanRan gasped backwards. At that moment of pause, Shi XuanRan asked. “How can your poison be lost?”

“Someone cured him.”

Shi XuanRan's brain immediately thought. Who is the person who has such high medical ability that can know the antidote to Xin's poison? Shi XuanRan continued to guess. Then, a shadow of someone flashed across him.

“That woman, if I knew she would be troublesome, I should have eliminated her.” Shi XuanRan said in a low tone.

Hearing Shi XuanRan's words, Huang Long's chest suddenly grew hot. He felt very angry when he heard the man's words. In anger, Huang Long attacked Shi XuanRan attacking aggressively.

Shi XuanRan immediately smiled. Her smile was extremely dangerous, signaling she was about to do something bad.

“Looks like I know your weakness.”

Huang Long pretended not to hear Shi XuanRan's words. He continued moving his body to attack Shi XuanRan.

The result of their struggle is balance. No one wins and no one gets hurt. Now, both of them stand facing the distance that is far enough.

In the distance, Huang Long could see Shi XuanRan's movements taking something from under his clothes. Sparks of flames began to appear and Shi XuanRan pointed the object towards the sky. Instantly, bright fireworks dotted the orange afternoon sky.

A second later, the sound of war trumpets and the rumbling of the ground sounded.

With this, the power struggle has begun.
