Chapter 61 Chen: I shall be the Emperor of Great Yan?
boom! boom! boom!
In Lungmen city, deafening explosions echoed through the air, and a three-story building, a gang stronghold, was as if its top had been ripped off by a giant.
Bricks and rubble spiraled upwards along with leather sofas and crystal chandeliers, while a gold-rimmed gambling table flew over 200 meters away, crashing with a bang onto a neon sign and startling a flock of fluttering gray pigeons.
"Hahahaha, so cool!"
A modified jeep roared out of the dust, flames shooting into the sky reflected in the rearview mirror, and a Sarkaz girl in the passenger seat leaned half her body out of the window, tossing several unexploded bombs in her hand.
In the driver's seat, Exia jerked the steering wheel, the tires screeching against the alleyway, but it couldn't drown out the two's unrestrained laughter.
"Officer Chen is probably going crazy."
Exusiai said while stepping on the gas, "It doesn't matter, no one was hurt anyway, at most I'll just get a fine."
The Sarkaz girl said, "That's the boring thing about Lungmen. You can only use rubber bullets to shoot, and explosions don't hurt anyone."
Exusiai said, "I just like explosions, not killing. Besides, if we could kill people at will, we small fry would be the first to die. Lungmen would be in chaos, and we'd have trouble even eating."
"makes sense."
W looked at the diverse people outside the window. Even after the explosion, she didn't show much fear, which was completely different from when she was a mercenary, always on the verge of death and constantly on guard.
She stretched comfortably, feeling that this kind of life was pretty good.
Exusiai glanced at the Sarkaz girl beside her. Her short, gray-black hair was highlighted with red, her eyes were bright red, and equally bright red horns were attached to the sides of her head.
It's a bit impolite to say, but it really does look like a cockroach.
However, she was very beautiful and had a great figure, with a curvy bust and a slender waist. She wore a leather jacket, but her ample chest was covered by thin black stockings, which were barely visible.
The glossy black pantyhose accentuated her long, beautiful legs, and the shape of her buttocks was exceptionally alluring.
Even a straight woman like Exusiai found it a bit erotic.
After learning that the Reunion Movement was brought by Luo Zhen, she took the initiative to contact members of the Reunion Movement, adhering to the principle that those brought by the Messiah must not be bad people.
As someone with a deep-seated love for explosions, Sakta quickly became acquainted with W, who was skilled at handling bombs.
W was initially reluctant to deal with Exusiai. Sarkaz was a Sarkaz who had converted to the Law system, but because they were living too well, they broke away from the Sarkaz. Many Sarkaz hated them and considered them traitors.
Exusiai longs to interact with the Sarkaz. Her friend Mostima was "fallen" for violating Laterano law by firing on her own kind. Not only was her aura dimmed, but she also exhibited some Sarkaz characteristics.
Even though W was indifferent, she, being an optimist, still stuck to him.
W thought about how she had joined Lungmen and was now living a comfortable life with little discrimination and no worries about food and drink, all thanks to Ryougi. Exusiai, being a fanatical follower of Ryougi, had managed to control her low character and refrain from swearing.
After being dragged by Exusiai to blow up several gang bases, the two quickly grew closer. People who like explosions are not bad people!
The screeching sound of brakes ripped through the sky as Exia slammed on the brakes. The tires scraped two charred marks on the asphalt road, and the pungent smell of burning rubber instantly filled the air.
As the dust settled, Chen Huijie stood straight before the car headlights. Her right hand gripped the hilt of the Crimson Sky Sword at her waist, and the badge of her Guard Bureau uniform on her left shoulder gleamed coldly in the headlights, reflecting her grim expression as she stared at the two men with hostility.
"How many times has this happened? Several bombings every day, are you trying to provoke the Lungmen Guard Bureau?!"
Exusiai raised her hands: "Officer Chen, I will pay the fine!"
"This isn't about the fine!"
Chen Huijie slammed her hand on the car body. "And what about the fines you paid the previous times? Are you just pretending they didn't exist because I didn't catch you?"
If they weren't caught, it's not considered a crime.
Exusiai wasn't stupid enough to say such a thing to his face. She took out her wallet, saw the few bills left inside, and suddenly froze.
How many explosions did she and W cause? Seven? Eight? This amount of money doesn't seem enough. She just lost most of her salary from last month because of speeding in the city and causing an explosion during a gunfight on the street.
As for this month's salary, it will be paid next month, of course!
She looked at W pleadingly, "Could you lend me some money?"
W whistled and looked away: "The Sarkaz could die anytime, anywhere, so we don't have the habit of saving money at all."
Chen Huijie sneered, "No money? If you have no money, then obediently go to jail, or you can choose to do voluntary labor on a construction site to avoid this punishment."
Exusiai asked in confusion, "Construction site?"
"The slums should be transformed into the lower city area to improve the quality of life for those infected."
Chen Huijie explained, "The original building needs to be demolished by explosives. Don't you like explosions? Go blow up the building there. We have designated an explosion zone."
"Of course, as punishment, you will need to provide your own bombs."
She had barely finished speaking when her personal terminal rang, and Wei Yanwu told her to go back immediately.
"Remember to go quickly."
Chen Huijie hung up the terminal, left those words, and hurriedly departed. Upon arriving at the Governor's Mansion, she met the envoy from the Great Yan Dynasty and learned the reason for his summons.
"Want to be my teacher and teach me more?"
Chen Huijie found it strange, "Why would His Majesty suddenly find me a teacher?"
She didn't think they were caring about her. If they really wanted to nurture her, why didn't they do it earlier?
Wei Yanwu's face darkened. He could see through the Great Yan True Dragon's plan at a glance. You clearly want my niece to take the fall!
"I disagree."
Wei Yanwu said, "Huijie has my guidance, so there's no need to trouble you."
"Of course we believe in your abilities."
The Grand Tutor said, "You have two nieces, but there is only one position for the Governor of Longmen."
Chen Huijie's expression changed drastically: "I will not compete with Talulah for this position."
"I know you are a good child, upright and honest, and His Majesty likes children like you."
The Grand Tutor said, "His Majesty favors you as his successor, which is why he sent me to instruct you."
Chen Huijie was stunned, pointing at himself: "Me, the Emperor of Great Yan?"
Wei Yanwu advised, "Don't be fooled by the power and influence of this position; the risks are also immense."
The Grand Tutor said, “One who bears the disgrace of the nation is called the master of the state; one who bears the misfortune of the nation is called the king of the world. Sitting on the supreme throne, one must govern the country while also living in constant fear, for beneath the throne lies a crisis capable of destroying the nation. It can be said that the life of a true dragon is always threatened.”
To Wei Yanwu's surprise, the Grand Tutor was surprisingly frank, but after a moment's thought, he realized something was wrong.
The Grand Tutor earnestly said to Chen Huijie, "Precisely because this position carries such great responsibility, the successor must be powerful, upright, and responsible. Such a person is hard to find, and His Majesty has only found you as a suitable successor."
Wei Yanwu could tell that Chen Huijie was tempted. For such a young person, the sense of mission to go against the tide was very exciting, and a little encouragement would make his blood boil.
The Grand Tutor concluded by saying, "I know that there are many unreasonable things in this country. Perhaps if you were in that position, you would have the ability to change them."
Chen Huijie was already thinking of agreeing, but she was still self-aware: "I don't have enough ability, and I'm not good at political maneuvering either."
"That's alright, you can learn all of that."
The Grand Tutor said, "Even a true dragon chooses a successor; he does not abdicate immediately."
What utter nonsense are you spouting! If Chen Huijie had any real ability, the Emperor would have already ordered her to come to the capital to meet him, made her his successor, and then drowned, faking her death and running away.
Chen Huijie was unaware of this; her sense of mission was already overflowing. Wei Yanwu knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise. As Chen Huijie grew older, the differences between the two widened, and Chen Huijie had become very opinionated.
All he could say was, "If you really want to be the emperor, you should consult Luo Zhen more."
That way, if Sui really does wake up, he can save your life.
The Grand Tutor's eyes lit up: "I also wish to visit that Dragon Lord. Could the Governor-General please introduce me?"
"I am no longer the governor."
Wei Yanwu said, "Besides, I can't control that Dragon Lord, and I'm not even sure if he'll see you."
Luo Zhen naturally chose to meet him, but he was curious about one thing: "Wei Yanwu, why are you wearing armor?"
Wei Yanwu, standing before him, was fully armored, completely covering himself, and his body was much more robust.
“Actually, I’m curious too.”
The Grand Tutor said, "Wei Yanwu has been wearing armor ever since he met me. I am just an old man without real power. There is no need for him to be so wary."
Is it not terrible to have no real power? Back then, the Grand Tutor also had no real power. She advised me to stage a coup, and you know what happened. However, she also paid the price. Her entire family was executed, and only her infant granddaughter was rescued by her student.
Wei Yanwu rolled his eyes, his gaze towards Luo Zhen filled with resentment.
Chen Huijie tried her best to keep her expression straight and not laugh. She knew very well that Wei Yanwu's armor was meant to cover his pregnant belly.
Fortunately, the Grand Tutor did not pry into the matter. Instead, he made a request to Luo Zhen: "The True Dragon values this child highly. I wonder if you could help train Princess Chen and improve her strength? Strength is essential if one wants to ascend to the throne. We will offer you sufficient rewards."
[Request: The Grand Tutor and the True Dragon hope you can enhance Chen Huijie's strength, enabling her to reach the level of becoming the Emperor.]
[Reward for Commission: 5,000 Commission Crystals]
Luo Zhen didn't immediately accept the commission, but instead asked Chen Huijie, "Are you sure you want to take this position?"
Chen Huijie said with a firm expression, "Although the risks are great, these things have to be done by someone."
"That's fine."
Luo Zhen accepted the commission. For him, it was the easiest way to improve the strength of the small animals on the Terra continent, especially a divine being like Chen Huijie. As long as he could restore her bloodline to its ancestral state, he could greatly increase her strength. And Luo Zhen happened to know that there was such a thing that could do this.
The stone coffin where the doctor slept, also known as a home physiological repair device.
Chapter 62 Luo Zhen's debt of gratitude is never fully repaid, so he will repay it with his body.
In Chernobog, Amiya leads an elite team to infiltrate and rescue the doctor who is sleeping there.
However, when she stepped into the location of the sarcophagus, she found that the sarcophagus had been opened, and the doctor, dressed in the classic black hooded man outfit, was chatting with a man.
The doctor made a gesture of pulling up his hood, clearly having unzipped his clothes earlier, but only zipped them up again after hearing their footsteps, thus concealing his face.
"Doctor, and Lord Luo Zhen as well?"
Amiya recognized the person. Before she set off, Kal'tsit had shown her Rozen's picture, taking into account that she would encounter Rozen.
"Look, your people are here to pick you up."
Luo Zhen gestured to the Rhodes Island crew who were rushing over, but the Doctor cowered behind him.
Having lost all her memories, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Luo Zhen, and—
There are many racial characteristics.
She looked at the people of Rhodes Island; they all had tails, ears, or horns, but she and Ryojin didn't.
