Chapter 817: Siblings Turn Against Each Other
Chapter 817: Siblings Turn Against Each Other
The trip to the Moon Goddess Pavilion has finally come to an end. Although there were some ups and downs, Liu Longyue's advancement to Martial God was a considerable achievement. It's a pity that she couldn't find the passage through which the Human Emperor left. Perhaps they can meet again in the future if fate allows.
"Why didn't you ask the Grand Elder and the others just now, my husband?" Liu Longyue asked curiously.
Chen Futu shook his head and said, "Asking a reclusive clan is pointless. It's better to let them calm down and think carefully about how to get along with Lizhou. Perhaps there will be some unexpected surprises."
This reply made Liu Longyue thoughtful.
After that, Chen Futu sent Chen Li back with Fu Shuang, while he and Liu Longyue hadn't been alone together for a long time, so they decided to go sightseeing and relax.
When people in Lizhou learned of the situation, no one suggested going out to search. On the contrary, because of the last golden blood rain, everyone's cultivation level had increased significantly, and they needed to spend time stabilizing their realm.
Among them, Peach Blossom Goddess, Lian Ni Chang and others are about to undergo the tribulation of the mortal world, and people such as Lan Qiao have also reached the level of demigods. As long as they accumulate for a period of time, they will surely be able to undergo the tribulation and enter the path of gods.
Chen Futu and Liu Longyue concealed their cultivation and returned to the Great Wilderness. The desolate village was destroyed in the great war, and the people from that time were no longer there, or perhaps they had moved to other places.
Liu Longyue's search was fruitless, and she eventually let it go.
"Honey, I have an idea."
On the way back to Lizhou, Chen Futu spoke up, and Liu Longyue asked in surprise, "Husband, please speak plainly."
"I'd like to take Bai Yujing and many other martial gods with me to ascend to heaven together. What do you think?"
"It must be difficult, and what kind of people does His Majesty intend to leave to guard Lizhou?"
"I plan to go and take a look first, and maybe I can make it back and forth with some means. Once I find a place to stay, I will take everyone there."
Chen Futu was reluctant to leave this large family. Since they were going to leave anyway, why not go together?
As for those who remain in Lizhou, their children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. How Chen Changsheng's descendants govern the country is none of his business. If Lizhou is destroyed or annexed one day, it will be because his descendants are useless.
"Alright, I'll leave everything to my husband."
As the airship sailed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Liu Longyue nestled quietly in Chen Futu's arms, her eyes filled with tenderness.
During this time together, their relationship progressed rapidly. If Chen Futu hadn't planned to have so many children, she would have wanted a daughter, preferably a cute girl like Ling'er.
"When does my husband plan to find an empress for Changsheng?" Liu Longyue asked, raising the crucial question.
Chen Futu slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about this.
Liu Longyue scolded, "You yourself are so carefree, surrounded by beauties on both sides, but Changsheng still doesn't have a child and doesn't even have an empress. That doesn't make sense."
“Okay, I’ll have Aning help him with the talent show when we get back.”
"I'm afraid that the boy has high standards and looks down on ordinary women."
Liu Longyue's worries were not unfounded. Chen Changsheng's cultivation level was just one step away from entering the realm of gods. Ordinary women were indeed not good enough for him, mainly due to the issues of cultivation foundation and lifespan.
When the two returned to the capital, they discovered something was amiss. Xu Mingzhu seemed to have an extremely good relationship with Chen Changsheng. After court, Chen Changsheng would often sneak off to see her. If it weren't for his father's extraordinary abilities, no one would have noticed his little schemes.
Chen Futu then remembered that Xu Mingzhu was a born supreme being, and the two shared the same bloodline and had feelings for each other, so good things were probably coming soon.
The only problem is that Chen Ling'er doesn't like Xu Mingzhu.
I still remember when she was just a tiny little girl, she used the Nine Heavens Wings to break into the Southern Region by herself. In the end, for the sake of Tai Qingyu and Xu Chen, she pinned Xu Mingzhu to the ground and beat her up, thus creating a grudge.
Li Xiuning was having a headache over this matter because Chen Ling'er had come to see her specifically.
"My lord, our empire's princess has declared that her elder brother can marry anyone, but he cannot marry a wicked woman who steals other people's bones, and he certainly cannot let such a wicked woman become the empire's empress."
Li Xiuning explained the situation with a wry smile.
Chen Futu was speechless.
After observing him secretly for some time, I've realized that Chen Changsheng is quite fond of Xu Mingzhu, and Xu Mingzhu naturally admires the gentle and refined emperor as well.
It can be said that the man and woman were in love, but unfortunately, a little devil stood in their way.
"It's all my fault for spoiling that girl too much; she's become so unruly."
Despite saying this, Chen Futu couldn't bear to scold his precious daughter. After all, Xu Mingzhu had done something wrong, so it was understandable that Ling'er disliked her.
As the two were talking, Dian Wei suddenly rushed in, shouting, "My lord, something has happened! Her Highness the Princess has injured Xu Mingzhu!"
"What did you say?"
Chen Futu and Li Xiuning suddenly stood up and hurriedly transformed into rainbows and disappeared.
The square in front of the palace was teeming with people, with civil and military officials and many powerful figures gathered together.
Chen Li and Xuan Yuanlu were also there, and then Qin Liangyu and the old woman rushed over in a flurry, and were shocked and furious at the scene before them.
In the square, Chen Ling'er, her body ablaze with crimson flames, straddled Xu Mingzhu, punching and kicking her while cursing, "You think I'm being nice to you? You dare to complain to my brother about me? Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death, you wicked woman!"
Xu Mingzhu didn't make a sound even after being hit. She lay on the ground protecting her face without fighting back. This was hardly a battle between a Great Emperor or even a God-level expert. It was more like a brawl between thugs, with Xu Mingzhu being the one who got bullied.
Chen Futu was furious, "Ling'er, stop now!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ling'er reluctantly stood up and kicked Xu Mingzhu again in annoyance. Her strength was almost that of a martial god, and this kick caused Xu Mingzhu's mouth to bleed, making her look quite miserable.
"Chen Ling'er!"
Suddenly, the wind and thunder surged, and a furious roar resounded throughout the heavens.
Chen Changsheng arrived, dressed in a majestic dragon robe. Upon entering, he picked up Xu Mingzhu and glared at Chen Ling'er.
Chen Ling'er, however, held her head high and remained defiant, saying, "I told you, I hate her! She's a wicked woman who digs up human bones, and such a person has no right to be the Empress of the Empire!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs."
"Hehe, you're my older brother, of course I have to take care of you. Otherwise, if Father Emperor were to take care of you, he'd beat you to death!"
"you……"
When it comes to being a troublemaker, even a hundred Chen Changshengs tied together wouldn't be a match for the spoiled princess who is showered with love and affection.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting that the brother and sister would turn against each other over a woman, and judging by the current situation, they were likely to fight.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Futu, whose face was now as black as the bottom of a pot. "Have you all made enough of a scene?"
When the late emperor spoke, everyone fell silent.
Chen Ling'er darted over and grabbed Chen Futu's arm, shaking it vigorously as she pleaded, "Father, why don't you do something about my elder brother? As the emperor of the empire, he should be marrying a virtuous woman, but he's fallen for a wicked one. This is going to bring disaster to the country and corrupt the court!"
Chen Ling'er's words embarrassed Chen Changsheng to the extreme, but he could not give up on Xu Mingzhu. So he took a deep breath and said, "I will leave it to Father Emperor to decide."
