Chapter 858: Chapter 24 Shocking! Great Emperor, You Are Actually This Kind of Person (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3 Chapter 858: Chapter 24 Shocking! Great Emperor, You Are Actually This Kind of Person (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3 Wang Liyao had a wry smile on her face.
It is often said that the older people get, the more child-like they beco, acting without concern and following their hearts’ whims. Yet Your Majesty, to say such things about playing little tricks on others to her was indeed sowhat… mischievous…
“Liyao, you must be criticizing in your heart,” Emperor Longchang said with a smile, “You, looking like a fairy and speaking so directly earlier, not beating around the bush at all, yet it turns out you’re just an ordinary person after all. I have been Emperor for more than three thousand years, and everything has been recorded by historians. While I’m still alive, of course, no one dares to speak up.”
“Once I am dead, when the land sees the new replace the old, they might praise , but I can’t climb out of my coffin to live a few more years. If they curse , I can’t get out and beat them either. What point is there in all this pretense?”
Wang Liyao was at a loss for words.
Your Majesty, your words are so reasonable that I am left speechless.
Before coming here, she had contemplated what kind of person His Majesty might be. Alas, she had thought of many possibilities, but had never imagined that he would be like this…
However, as much as His Majesty could speak of himself in such a manner, Wang Liyao could not simply agree insincerely.
After paying so empty complints, she took out the gifts she had prepared in advance, “Your Majesty, these are a few gadgets designed by my father, which he has entrusted to to present to you for your enjoynt.”
Then, Wang Liyao took out a heap of items from her Storage Ring, including a ticulously crafted Luya Rod, a two ter tall large monocular Telescope, a small monocular Telescope, a set of a Formation-powered lighting System, and various other miscellaneous gadgets.
At first, Emperor Longchang thought the Wang family was just like other Prominent Families, offering so rare treasures to win his favor, and he wasn’t very interested. However, he was surprised to find a pile of strange gadgets.
After Wang Liyao explained them, what interested him the most were indeed the Luya Rod, the large Telescope, and the small Telescope.
At the level of a Great Emperor, his vision and hearing had long surpassed that of ordinary people. If he wished, he could see clearly for dozens of miles from high above.
But no matter how extraordinary his vision, it couldn’t compare to the treasure that had reached the level of a primary astronomical Telescope. The distance that this device could see was beyond description in re miles, and at night, it could even magnify the night sky countless tis.
The half-ter long small Telescope also intrigued him greatly, and he specifically took it outside his study, flying around and looking here and there.
Soon after, he returned to Zhuozheng Pavilion with a sowhat dejected look, holding the monocle Telescope and sighing deeply.
“Does Your Majesty dislike this gift? Just now, it seed like Your Majesty was enjoying them quite a bit,” Old Yao asked carefully.
Seeing this, Wang Liyao herself felt a bit nervous.
“Not at all… Ah~” Emperor Longchang sighed deeply, reminiscing, “Over three thousand five hundred years ago, when I was a young man, I had a chance encounter with Consort Fu, the concubine of my fifth Royal Uncle. I couldn’t help feeling stirred and had trouble sleeping through the night.”
“???”
Wang Liyao looked on subtly. So His Majesty had his romantic episodes when he was young, but alas, that was the concubine of the Royal Uncle, likely a hopeless case.
“After struggling internally for several months, tornted by longing, I decided to drag my elder brother with to peep on Consort Fu bathing~~” Emperor Longchang said with annoyance, “We were discovered because we were too close, and as a result, both my brother and I were beaten half to death. If only we’d had this… Liyao, what’s this called again?”
“==b…” Wang Liyao felt a drop of cold sweat slide down and replied helplessly, “Monocular Telescope.”
“Right, right, Monocular Telescope. If only we had such a device back then, my brother and I would not have ended up in such a miserable situation,” Emperor Longchang said angrily.
Zhuozheng Pavilion was becoming an uncomfortable place to stay.
Wang Liyao felt unease, as the chair beneath her seed to grow hot.
Isn’t it said that eting the Great Heavenly Proud Emperor normally takes the duration of an incense stick? Now it has been almost two hours…
Facing such an Emperor, Wang Liyao felt a great deal of pressure. Hearing the Emperor’s dark history, might she be silenced?
…
In the end, of course, Wang Liyao safely left Zhuozheng Pavilion and was even rewarded by the Great Emperor with a heap of treasures and resources to encourage her.
After this, the news of this battle of Challenger of Heaven swept through the National Capital and rolled out to the entire country like a wind carrying dandelions.
The reputation of Liyao the Great Heavenly Proud spread throughout the country in an instant, becoming red-hot and rising like the midday sun.
Rumors said that after resting for a year, Liyao the Great Heavenly Proud would set foot in the Sacred Land to stir up another battle among Sky Prides under the age of one hundred fifty-one.
This was bound to be different from the battle in the National Capital. The prides of the Sacred Land were known for their arrogance; upon hearing the news, many who were in seclusion would surely co forth.
And with a year to prepare, it was not impossible to achieve further improvents in strength.
Everyone was looking forward to whether Liyao the Great Heavenly Proud could live up to her bold claims: “First kicking the Shangjing Sky Prides, then sweeping the Nine Veins of the Sacred Land.” And this ti, the attention on her was far greater than it had been in the National Capital.
It was rumored that when Wang Liyao left Shangjing, she secretly exchanged blows with Shangguan Yunque of the GuiLong Shangguan Clan.
The outco of the exchange was not disclosed, but it was heard that after returning, Shangguan Yunque entered a state of seclusion, claiming to have gained insights and needing to confirm them through ditation.
