“If you train hard, we certainly will be able to. Besides, we have a baby now.”

  Nobody and nothing could stop him from being together with Gu Bailu, or their baby from being born.

  Those wretches had to answer for the wrongs they committed against Gu Bailu in her previous life and the current one.

  “Okay……”

  Gu Bailu had no idea what he was planning. Currently, her greatest target was the Archfiend. She wanted to avenge her family.

  Her feet recovered quickly after she took Mr. Xiao’s medicine. After only half a month, she was able to walk freely.

  Furthermore, no scars were left on her feet.

  Gu Bailu admired Mr. Xiao because she had been wounded pretty badly when she fell into the cave at the beginning, and completely recovered thanks to Mr. Xiao’s medicine.

  Anyone would appreciate the person who brought them back from the brink of death.

  Even Feng Qingtian was quite polite to him.

  Ah Luo was quite happy to return to Prince Zi’s house, mostly for the delicious meat there.

  Two courtyards in Prince Zi’s house had been destroyed by the divine retribution, and had yet to be fixed after half a month.

  The people of Pale Emperor City gossiped for a long time.

  After the new Princess Zi was struck, half the buildings in Prince Zi’s residence were destroyed by more lightning bolts.

  It was said that the former princess had been the target.

  People couldn’t help but wonder if the heavens simply didn’t tolerate any of Prince Zi’s women.

  In that case, would Prince Zi be able to inherit the throne?

  If the heavens didn’t allow him to have a woman, would he be a single emperor?

  Naturally, the emperor was concerned. He issued a decree and sent a horde of women to Feng Qingtian!

  Also, he specifically ordered those women to live in Prince Zi’s house.

  Gu Bailu was completely shocked when she saw the girls in the house during her walk after breakfast.

  “Did Prince Zi hire so many more servants?” Those servants were quite beautiful, and could become concubines in any other residence.

  Ye Ying’s lips twitched. “They’re a gift from His Majesty.”

  Gu Bailu immediately understood what she meant. “For the heavens to strike with lightning.”

  Rumor had it that every one of Prince Zi’s women had been struck by lightning.

  So, the only reason that the emperor had given him so many women was for the heavens to strike them with lightning.

  Ye Ying sweated hard; she knew that the emperor thought that if only one or two of the women were struck, there would still be other women available.

  In the royal palace, the emperor summoned Feng Qingtian after the morning audience.

  “I’ve already sent some women to your house. Don’t turn a blind eye to them. You’re obviously physically fine with women.”

  The emperor had concluded that Feng Qingtian wasn’t ill, but too picky; otherwise, he wouldn’t have already touched two women.

  Feng Qingtian frowned. “Your Majesty, you’ve given me a lot of trouble. The one in my house will complain.”

  “Who’s going to complain? I’m told that your princess is still too heavily wounded to serve you……”

  “You know that there’s another one in my house.”

  “Haven’t you divorced her?”

  Feng Qingtian raised his head. “Who said that? She’s always been my princess. Also, she’s pregnant with my child.”

  The emperor was elated. “Great! She can’t cater to your needs now that she’s pregnant. The girls I sent to you will be useful.”


  462 The Emperor“s Bias

  Feng Qingtian was gloomy. “Your Majesty, I don’t like any other woman. It’s pointless for you to give them to me.”

  The emperor patted his shoulder. “Now that you’re going to have a child, I’ll name you the crown prince. As it happens, I need to go into seclusion for a while. Starting tomorrow, you will supervise national affairs.”

  Feng Qingtian’s narrow eyes glittered. “How does this have anything to do with offering me a bunch of women?”

  “You’re going to take the throne one day; you can’t have one woman. You should get used to it now,” said the emperor solemnly.

  He had no other wish in his whole life apart from Southern Glory Empire growing stronger and remaining uninvaded; he was satisfied with what he had achieved.

  Now, he hoped that Feng Qingtian could replace him and lead Southern Glory Empire to new heights.

  He knew that Feng Qingtian was capable of doing so, and there was nothing he could do to stop Feng Qingtian.

  He did wish that his own son could inherit the throne, but he knew it was impossible.

  So, he may as well give up the throne and focus on his own cultivation. That way, he might be able to protect his worthless children later.

  “It’s not a rule that an emperor must have a lot of women. She alone is enough for me,” Feng Qingtian insisted.

  Gu Bailu would definitely scratch his face if he kept those women at his place.

  She was one jealous girl.

  Besides, other women really did upset him.

  It was possible that he might kill them if he got angry.

  The emperor shook his head. “That won’t do. Since one of your princesses is already heavily wounded, one pregnant princess isn’t enough. You must have more.”

  Feng Qingtian rose. “Your Majesty, enough talk. I can’t have these women. Also, I married Lulu not to inherit the throne, but because I like her; I’ll show no mercy to anyone who breaks her heart.”

  Feng Qingtian bowed to the emperor. “I’ll take my leave, Your Majesty.”

  Feng Qingtian turned around and walked away.

  The emperor wanted to use the throne and a bevy of beauties to restrain him?

  It was only because the emperor feared that Feng Qingtian would mistreat his useless cousins.

  He would have the throne, but not as a gift from the current emperor.

  If the emperor wouldn’t give it to him on his own terms, he would take it himself.

  There was no reason why he should be bound by the emperor’s instructions.

  The emperor frowned, and Feng Xuanchen, the second prince, rushed in. “Father, I heard that you gave all the girls from the south to Prince Zi!”

  He had been coveting those beautiful girls for days, and had hoped to ask his father for one or two of them.

  However, they had all been sent to Prince Zi’s house today.

  But Prince Zi wasn’t interested in women at all. It would be a huge waste to give the girls to him.

  Even the most charming woman would end up pickled in Prince Zi’s house.

  “They’ve been sent, but he has already rejected them. Why? Are you interested in them?” The emperor lifted his gaze.

  Feng Xuanchen’s spiritual power wasn’t bad, but he was too focused on enjoying himself instead of his cultivation.

  “Father, I don’t have many girls at my residence, why didn’t you save one or two of them for me? That’s too unfair.”

  He was the emperor’s biological son, born from the emperor’s favorite woman, but why were the best things always given to Feng Qingtian instead of him?

  “It’s not unfair at all. Look at yourself. How old are you? How much weaker are you than Prince Zi? Let’s see how you’ll manage after I abdicate.”
