Chapter 871: Chapter 245: I Do

Autumn rain, desolate and descending from the sky, each drop like thousands of needles and threads, weaving a net that envelops the world.

Li Yuan strolled along the countryside path.

Ever since Peng Mingyu visited Lady Yama, he had essentially become a jade remains under her command, capable of reflecting her state like a barometer.

However, he no longer possessed supernatural power, losing even the ability to sense external forces.

Recalling the strength of the Firefly Demon, Li Yuan realized the situation within the underworld was converging.

Sister Yan might already be in the process of being digested?

The young man, with a boyish appearance, had a shadowy expression, his serene pupils quietly watching the autumn rain.

His hair, damp, draped over his shoulders; in the distance, the roads were devoid of people, save for those in a state of desperate flight.

He sat alone in the rain on a stone.

Finally, he drew out from his mind the plan he had hesitated over.

Condition one:

The world is not extinguished, the extraterrestrial star remains undying and unextinguished.

The Dragon Vein is the Emperor Star.

Thus, the Dragon Vein is undying and unextinguished.

Condition two:

The undying and unextinguished Dragon Vein fused with the Human Emperor, granting him power.

But it is known the Dragon Vein is undying and unextinguished.

Therefore, the Human Emperor is merely a temporary vessel.

Having stayed in Central Capital for three years as a wanderer, he had seen eunuchs secretly venture out to the Great Shang’s society in Central Capital to fetch precious herbs.

Others couldn’t perceive it, but Li Yuan did; the eunuch seemed to be the chief steward beside the Human Emperor.

So, the Human Emperor might be in trouble.

Li Yuan discreetly consulted Xie Wei, and from Empress Dowager Xie, he got confirmation: the Human Emperor has headaches.

Therefore, Li Yuan deduced "Human Emperor headaches" were likely related to "Dragon Vein resurrection."

Condition three:

The Human Emperor harbors a strong feeling towards this land, and a deep familial affection towards him.

Condition four:

In the fusion of the underworld, Ghost Lake holds absolute sway, while Sister Yan is on the verge of being swallowed.

Quest: How to help Sister Yan win?

...

Plop, plop, plop...

Rain hitting falling wood.

Li Yuan’s eyes suddenly fixed on a certain spot.

It was a leaf still retaining half its green, with a snail the size of a baby’s fist crawling upon it, and its antenna presented a swirling rainbow color.

The colorful horned snail crawled swiftly, exuding an unusual excitement.

This thing was actually a special venom-type Ninth Grade Demon Beast, named "Zombie Snail."

It looked like a snail, but it was essentially a poisonous insect residing within the snail’s shell.

That poison insect controlled the snail, maneuvering it to crawl around, hoping to be noticed and swallowed by a large demon beast.

Thereby, the poison would enter the large beast’s body, then either directly control this stronger beast, or reproduce within the large demon beast.

But regardless, this vibrant, excited, "standing out" snail was merely a host.

Li Yuan watched the snail for a long while, and finally stood up and walked over.

...

...

"Your Majesty."

The large girl confidently appeared in the Human Emperor Hall.

The Human Emperor had a gloomy expression, but upon hearing her voice and seeing the girl, his face cleared, and he smiled at the eunuch beside him, saying: "Go fetch some candied fruits."

The eunuch named Feng Yun, ascending like the clouds, and indeed, he had rapidly risen.

This former little eunuch of the Imperial Palace was often bullied, yet he worked diligently, optimistically facing any situation.

The Human Emperor noticed him several times, perhaps felt some empathy, and brought him close.

Feng Yun, utilizing royal resources, reached the Sixth Grade within a few short years.

By the Human Emperor’s side, martial prowess was unnecessary; the world’s strongest could not see the Human Emperor’s shadow.

"I don’t want candied fruits, they’re not tasty." The large girl bluntly refused the Human Emperor’s kindness.

Yet the Human Emperor was indifferent, rather lovingly asked: "What does Xiaozhen want to eat then?"

The large girl was Li Zhen.

Li Zhen counted her fingers, starting to demand this and that — not just food, but cultivation skills, treasures, and resources; each request was extraordinary...

Feng Yun listened with his eyes twitching.

In this world, perhaps only this little ancestor could directly make such demands before the Human Emperor.

Even Feng Yun couldn’t understand why the Human Emperor indulged this child so.

Indeed, as Li Zhen made her demands, the Human Emperor merely nodded.

Whatever she wanted, he provided.

Li Zhen spoke until her mouth was dry; the Human Emperor even instructed Feng Yun to get drinks.

"That’s enough for now."

Li Zhen finally finished, then suddenly her eyes flickered as if she thought of something new, and said: "One more thing I want."

The Human Emperor replied: "Go on."

Li Zhen said: "The other day I went to the streets of Central Capital, saw many homeless people, found them dirty, a sight that ruins one’s mood, so... Your Majesty, could you drive them away, far away, so they never appear before me again?"

The Human Emperor was stunned.

Previously, the Princess of Central Capital would merely ask for delightful food and drinks, but now she voiced such demands.

Only then did he realize the young lady before him might be spoiled.

But he truly couldn’t bear to sternly reprimand this "half-sister."

Especially since this sister couldn’t undergo cultivation; he couldn’t scold her, just wished for her century on earth to pass as she pleased, as the Great Zhou could afford to keep her.

Li Zhen pleaded pitifully: "Is it a no, Your Majesty?"

The Human Emperor, smiling, originally intended to say "It’s not a matter of refusal; they’re also my subjects. Central Capital is so flourishing, yet still has homeless people, this is my failure," but the words morphed to: "Of course it’s possible, Xiaozhen says so, it must be possible regardless."
