“But the Holy Mother feels that there has already been too much bloodshed, this world is still vast, especially with the continual news of small worlds thriving beyond our skies.

“So I clashed with the Holy Mother…

Being the Human Emperor, I have no choice but to constantly remind myself that the interests of the Human Race must come first, without allowing too much personal sentiment to interfere…

Alas, the Holy Mother has always been demanded upon by the Human Race, it’s indeed not easy for her.”

Li Ping’an nodded.

The two of them fell silent, looking at each other speechlessly for a while.

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, asked, “Do you have any ideas on how to establish the Heavenly Court?”

“That’s not something I should worry about.”

Li Ping’an spoke earnestly:

“Your Majesty, there is something I’d like to ask for your help with.”

“Speak freely,” the Yellow Emperor said with a smile, “as long as it doesn’t violate the principles of this Human Emperor, I can consider it.”

Li Ping’an bowed and said, “I was ordered to investigate a theft at the Eastern Alliance Treasury in front of Holy Mother Palace; the Eastern Alliance should still be conducting an internal investigation.

Among the stolen treasures, a batch likely ended up in the hands of Wanmo Heaven.”

The Yellow Emperor said, “I’ve heard about this matter, you really are the bane of those corrupt officials, able to discover problems wherever you go.”

“Your Majesty, I mean, could you issue a decree asking Minister Feng to cast a few divinations to see where those treasures have gone?”

Li Ping’an sighed:

“Especially the divine arrow used by the great ancient archer Yi to shoot down the suns, there was one such divine arrow in the Eastern Alliance Treasury, and now its whereabouts are unknown.”

“Oh?”

The Yellow Emperor looked into Li Ping’an’s eyes and smiled, “Why are you so concerned about this divine arrow?”

“I have the Divine Skill of the Heavenly Dao that allows me to glimpse my father’s tribulations.”

Li Ping’an did not hide it:

“If the information I gathered is correct, my father’s tribulation is linked to Wanmo Heaven.

“The prediction of the tribulation indicates that my father will be harmed by this divine arrow, although it could also be any of the other nine divine arrows.”

The Yellow Emperor gave a slight nod: “It is commendable that you can speak directly to me about these matters.

Go find Minister Feng, tell him I said to help you look for the whereabouts of the divine arrow.”

Li Ping’an stood up to express his thanks: “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“It’s rare to see such filial piety.”

The Yellow Emperor waved his hand:

“Your father is also an interesting man, skilled in earning Spirit Stones, with an exceptional talent.

With the Enlightenment Stone like you by his side, I reckon he could become a Golden Immortal within a hundred years.

“Li Ping’an, now that you are a True Immortal, in the future, you may also continue to break through in the Chaos Sea, have you ever thought about marriage?”

Your Majesty,” Li Ping’an asked somewhat sheepishly, “do you still care about such trivial matters for an official like me?”

“This is no trivial matter.”

The Yellow Emperor said seriously:

“Look at me, in those days, by marrying, I united the hearts of many ancient nations and tribes, this is a mandatory lesson for an emperor.

“You will now be working hard for the Human Race’s Heavenly Court, getting married is your proper business, and it’s also a major affair for the Human Race.”

Li Ping’an: …

Why should he make the effort?

What can he accomplish by putting in effort?

The Yellow Emperor continued his persuasion:

“Think about it, if you become the Heavenly Emperor in the future, wouldn’t you need to appease our Human Race?

“I have many daughters, however, the one I owe the most to is Lady Ba, who was also one of my Great Generals, who almost burned herself out fighting Chi You’s Generals, but all that is no problem.

“After tens of thousands of years of recuperation, she has returned to normal…”

“Your Majesty!”

Li Ping’an stood up and bowed, shouting:

“Please reconsider, Your Majesty!

I already have someone in my heart!”

“Tsk, an insincere remark,” the Yellow Emperor said indifferently, “What’s the problem with a gentleman having a few more wives?

Why did the ancient Emperor Jun fall?

Look at me, then look at Emperor Jun.

If he had chosen to marry into half of the major clans, couldn’t his own status have been more stable?”

A dark line crossed Li Ping’an’s forehead.

“I take my leave!

I’ll go find Minister Feng now!”

“Don’t rush off!

All my daughters are stunning beauties of incomparable charm!

Lady Ba is truly beautiful!”

Li Ping’an quickened his pace and rushed out of the Yellow Emperor’s study.

The Yellow Emperor chuckled and tossed a jade pendant from his sleeve onto the table, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.

Li Ping’an, not quite a real man.

He shouted out the window, “I’m in a bad mood today!

No one come near!”

The maids outside the door hurriedly responded.

So, the every-thirty-year occurrence of [the Emperor in a bad mood] day happened again.

…

Lady Ba, also known as the Drought Demon.

If Li Ping’an remembered correctly, Lady Ba was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor who sacrificed herself to benevolence, her body transforming into a fierce beast, overseeing the operations of the entire Eastern Alliance.

And this princess had always presented herself as ‘a withered old crone.’

Is the Yellow Emperor himself trapped by his three thousand concubines, and now seeking to drag him, a ‘good husband,’ into the water?

Li Ping’an was still unsettled as he left Xuanyuan Palace and then remembered that Fenghou’s estate was also within this secret realm.

So, he simply went back to his ship, called upon his father, asked the senior Xu Sheng for assistance, and took Wang Shan and his three trusted aides with him to Fenghou’s home.

His strongest trusted aide, Feng Zhansiang, was currently in the southeast of the Western Continent having a good time killing;

His three personal guards were training diligently in the Heavenly Ruins secret-realm.

As soon as Li Ping’an and his group arrived at Fenghou’s doorstep, an already waiting elderly butler greeted them and led them into the main hall to take their seats, served them fragrant tea, provided refreshments, and arranged for two musicians to play the zither and flute.

Taking advantage of the rest, Xu Sheng moved close to Li Ping’an and whispered to him.

“Ping’an, there’s something here I’d like your help with.”

“Senior, please tell me.”

“It’s just that,” Xu Sheng said, glancing nervously around, then pulled on Li Ping’an’s arm to whisper, “that favor you did for Xuntian before, it’s come to fruition and we can move to the next step now.

Xuntian is a little scared to act on his own, so he wants you to come over and help check on it.”
