Originally… Su Wen’s son had always been aloof.
But when he was drenched by his own urine…
Su Wen could clearly see the shock and disbelief on his face.
Then it turned into… grievance.
He had never received such treatment since he was born…
Su Wen burst into laughter.
“Kid, do you feel good?”
He was happy, but Xiang Feiyan was not.
She went forward and grabbed her son, handing him to the palace maid and saying, “Look at what you did! Go wash up!”
The palace maid had just received the child when the child’s eyes flashed with anger.
“Huuu!”
A fireball appeared out of thin air.
Closely after, it was a Wind Blade!
Whoosh!
The two of them attacked Su Wen.
“Crrrkt!”
Unfortunately, just as they flew to Su Wen’s side, he was destroyed by Su Wen’s True Qi.
Su Wen laughed loudly and said, “Brat, you still dare to attack me? Hurry up and take a shower. After you’re done, I’ll beat you up instead, so I don’t dirty my hands with urine.”
When Su Wen’s son heard this, he pouted at him and was about to spit at him.
But at this moment, Su Wen teleported to the child’s side.
He flicked his finger at the child’s head.
The Coercion Technique activated, Father’s Fist.
Pa!
In an instant, the child was stunned.
Immediately afterward, a loud wail erupted.
A huge bump could be seen on his forehead!
The child who had never cried since he was born finally experienced the ‘love’ of a father. He was so touched that he cried.
Xiang Feiyan was furious.
“What are you doing?”
“You have to give him a complete childhood! Quickly take a shower. I won’t beat you up later.”
The child was carried away by the palace maid.
Xiang Feiyan rolled her eyes. “Why lower yourself to the level of a child?”
Su Wen smiled. “Won’t this give him a complete childhood?”
“Then what’s our child’s name?”
Su Wen pondered for a moment before replying, “Xiang Yan.”
“Like salt?” Xiang Feiyan suddenly felt that letting Su Wen name him was a huge mistake.
“His surname is Xiang, and his name is Yan, symbolizing flame!” Su Wen said in a deep voice.
The word ‘Yan’ came from the power of the fire element in his bloodline, as well as Su Wen’s nostalgia for his world as the descendant of the Yellow and Fire Emperors.
Xiang Yan… Xiang Feiyan read it out loud and said with a smile, “Then Xiang Yan it is.”
Not long after, little Xiang Yan returned from his shower.
When he saw Su Wen, he shrank into the maid’s embrace!
Xiang Feiyan waved her hand and smiled, “Carry the Second Prince out.”
In the end, she did not want Su Wen to be too close to Xiang Yan.
“Brother Wen, do you think we should form an alliance with Zhou Country?” Xiang Feiyan asked.
Su Wen nodded and said, “An alliance will definitely have to be formed. The Zhou Country cannot be destroyed. Once the Zhou Country is destroyed, the strength of the Yan Country will definitely increase greatly. Their foundation is also not something our Chu Country can match. In another decade or two, the gap between the two countries will gradually widen.”
At this point, he smiled. “But to form an alliance, it depends on how we form it and how much benefits we get. After all, they’re the ones who are anxious now.”
Xiang Feiyan fell into deep thought at his words.
Finally, a day later, the Zhou delegation once again stood in the royal court.
This time, Su Wen followed suit.
He was dressed in a red python robe and looked extremely domineering.
As for Xiang Feiyan, she was seated high up with Xiang Yan still sitting beside her.
The little fellow was much colder than before. This time, he would steal glances at Su Wen from time to time. Once he noticed that Su Wen was looking at him, he would immediately shift his gaze away.
It was extremely interesting to watch.
The Zhou Country’s delegation entered the hall.
After the greeting, Su Wen went forward and laughed loudly.
“Oh! We’re all old acquaintances!”
He looked at Wu Qiuhan and smiled. “Old Wu, have you recovered?”
Wu Qiuhan’s face darkened. The last time he was beaten up was still fresh in his memory. Su Wen had drove the sports car to smash the carriage into pieces, then, he was beaten up… It could be said that he had never encountered such a thing in decades.
Su Wen then looked at Feng Baichuan. “Isn’t this Old Feng? Why didn’t you come to Great Chu to look for me? We’re already so familiar with each other, so why are you still being like outsiders? I’ll definitely make arrangements for you.”
Feng Baichuan had no way to reply to him…
Now that Su Wen called him Old Feng, he had no temper at all.
As a cultivator, he yearned to reach the Heaven Rank as well.
With Su Wen’s status as a Heaven Rank martial artist and Chu’s Nanli King status, it was not too much to call him Old Feng.
Su Wen then looked at Zhao Xuanxuan and Zhao Bin before asking with a smile, “What are the two of you doing here? Don’t tell me one of you is supposed to seduce the influential officials of our Great Chu while the other is being a hostage?”
In an instant, Zhao Xuanxuan and Zhao Bin’s expressions turned ugly.
Su Wen continued with a smile, “This Old Zhao still hasn’t changed. He only likes these kinds of methods. He doesn’t even care about his bloodline. Does he really think that my Chu Country cares?”
Wu Qiuhan stood up and said coldly, “King Nanli, I hope that you will still maintain sufficient respect for the Zhou Emperor!”
Su Wen smiled and said, “I respect him very much! Just like how I respect you. However, with my current status, it’s not appropriate for me to kneel down and kowtow to him, right?”
Wu Qiuhan knew that he had no choice but to lower his head.
He didn’t say anything else.
Su Wen did not continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he said happily, “This alliance is not impossible, but if we want to form an alliance, I need you to promise me a few conditions.”
“Tell me!” Wu Qiuhan looked at Su Wen and felt curious. What would this brat say?
“Firstly, I want the Seventh Princess’s mother to enter the Chu Country!”
Wu Qiuhan frowned. He didn’t dare to agree to the first condition.
Su Wen continued, “Secondly, since the Zhou Country wants us to send troops to help, we can’t shortchange ourselves. Back then, Emperor Zhou used an excuse to confiscate our Su family’s assets. It’s fine as long as he returns it. After all, our Su family doesn’t have a lot of money now.
Lord Wu should know how much money we have, right? Back then, it was you who wrote the accounts. As for the funds needed to send troops, we will have to calculate it another time.”
Wu Qiuhan: “???”
He did not dare to make this decision either!
The number was too large.
However, Su Wen knew that this was nothing to Emperor Zhou.
“As for the third point, the Zhou Country wants us to attack the Yan Country, so there naturally won’t be a problem. However, the Zhou Emperor has given the Five Tyrant Arts to the Yan Country. If we encounter them in the future, we will definitely suffer losses. I hope that Emperor Zhou can give our Chu Country a copy of the Five Tyrant Arts as well. This way, our chances will definitely increase greatly.”
“Hehe, hehe!” Wu Qiuhan’s face twitched.
He did not dare to agree to any of these three matters.
After a moment of silence, he said, “At this moment, I have no right to agree to any of them.”
Su Wen smiled and said, “It’s fine. If you don’t agree, I can send a letter for you. You can write a letter, seal it, and sign your name. I’ll help you send it back to Great Zhou and see how Emperor Zhou reacts.”
Wu Qiuhan shook his head and said, “There’s no need for such trouble.”
As he spoke, he took out the Star Disk that Emperor Zhou had given him before he left. “This is a Star Rank bestowed by His Majesty, the Great Zhou Emperor. As long as you use the True Qi of a Heaven Rank expert to activate it, it will be very convenient for us to communicate from thousands of miles away. This matter can be discussed with Her Majesty, the Great Chu Emperor, immediately.”
Su Wen was stunned. There was such a thing?
He took the Star Disk and circulated his True Qi. Immediately, he felt a response coming from another Star Disk countless miles away.
During this period of time, Emperor Zhou’s life had not been good. His troops had been defeated consecutively on the northern front line, and the battlefront had been pushed to the front line of the Huai River. The Zhou Country relied on the geographical advantage to defend, but when it came to counter attacking, they were powerless.
He was currently in the palace and could sense the resonance of the Star Disk. He had a vague guess.
He sighed. “It seems like there’s something Wu Qiuhan can’t decide on.”
As he spoke, he picked up the Star Disk and activated his True Qi.
In just a moment… the Star Disks connected, and Su Wen and Emperor Zhou could see each other’s figures.
Emperor Zhou exclaimed, “Why is it you, little bastard!”
Su Wen flew into a rage. “Who are you talking about, you old bastard!”
The two of them looked at each other. Emperor Zhou also saw the scene behind Su Wen.
It seemed to be in the palace?
Su Wen introduced himself, “I am the Nanli King, representing the Great Chu Emperor! Emperor of the Zhou Country, if you want to form an alliance with our Great Chu, you better watch your words.”
“Huh?” Looking at Su Wen’s python robes, the Zhou Emperor fell silent.
After a while, he laughed loudly.
“Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to become the Great Chu King. I calculated wrongly.” Emperor Zhou changed the topic.
At this time, Su Changqing came over and smiled. “Your Majesty, long time no see.”
Since Wu Qiuhan was already here, the Zhou Emperor would find out sooner or later that he was still alive. Since that was the case, Su Changqing did not intend to hide it anymore.
He took the initiative to step forward and greet Emperor Zhou.
However, things had changed.
When Emperor Zhou saw Su Changqing, he suddenly stood up.
His eyes were filled with shock!
This was even more difficult for Emperor Zhou to accept than Su Wen becoming the Great Chu Nanli King.
He looked at Su Changqing’s young face before looking at Su Wen’s python robe.
He clenched his fists tightly in response.
After a long while, he unclenched his fists and sneered. “Good! Good! Good! Good job, you father and son! I really didn’t expect this, Su Changqing. You really did it. You forced me to make a move on purpose, using this opportunity to help your son break through to Heaven Rank. I admit defeat!”
At this point, how could Emperor Zhou still not understand what was going on with Su Changqing?
Su Changqing smiled and said, “We’ve known each other for many years. You should know that I cherish my old life very much.”
Emperor Zhou’s gaze was cold as he stared at Su Changqing and Su Wen.
According to his original intentions, he wished he could kill these two people.
However, he was very clearly aware that since Su Wen was able to become a Great Chu King and the Star Disk was in his hands, it meant that the alliance would be decided by Su Wen.
As he looked at Su Wen, he thought of the Crown Prince! He thought of himself! He even thought of the Empress…
But now…
He knew that he had to swallow this anger.
The Zhou Country’s situation did not allow him to think too much.
In Yan Ze’s words, Emperor Zhou was a calm fellow, rational to the point of being disgusting.
With the interests of his country in front of him, there were many things that he could tolerate. Or rather, even if he did not want to tolerate it, he had to endure it, unless it was a life and death struggle.
At the very least, Emperor Zhou did not want things to reach that extreme stage yet!
He took a deep breath to calm himself before saying, “You two won’t come to me for no reason, right?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “Of course. We heard that Your Majesty wants to form an alliance with our Great Chu. Since that’s the case, our Great Chu has a few conditions!”
Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Speak!”
“Firstly, I want you to release Wanrou’s mother! Let her come to Chu.”
Emperor Zhou did not hesitate.
“Granted!”
To him, it was just a woman he was tired of playing with. It was nothing to him.
Su Wen smiled and said, “Secondly, you have to return the assets that you confiscated from my Su family. You also have to compensate my Great Chu for sending troops!”
Emperor Zhou closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying coldly, “Alright!”
He really did not lack money now. The money Su Changqing obtained from Yan Country, together with the abundant treasury, was enough for him to agree to such conditions.
Su Wen continued, “His Majesty has given a copy of the Five Tyrant Arts to the Yan Country. I believe you don’t mind giving a copy to our Chu Country, right? After all, when we meet on the battlefield in the future, we have to be prepared, right?”
Emperor Zhou’s gaze was cold as he said in a deep voice, “No problem!”
The three conditions were agreed without much thought.
Su Wen’s heart tightened!
Seemed like the situation in Great Zhou was not good.
“How do we make the transactions?” Emperor Zhou asked.
“Your Majesty, please prepare a spirit artifact and store the money and cultivation techniques. When I arrive at the capital of the Great Zhou, I will inform Your Majesty that Your Majesty will send someone to deliver them.”
At the mention of this matter, Emperor Zhou was even more furious.
His capital was free to come and go as Su Wen pleased!
He smiled and said, “Don’t you need to discuss it with Emperor Chu?”
He wanted to plant a nail between Su Wen and Emperor Chu.
At this moment, Xiang Feiyan simply spoke out, “This matter will be decided by King Nanli!”
Su Wen aimed the star disk at Xiang Feiyan. In his opinion, this thing was similar to a forward camera function on a smartphone.
Emperor Zhou saw Xiang Feiyan for the first time.
He never expected that the Great Chu Emperor was actually a woman.
Furthermore, there was a child sitting beside her.
“Eh? Why does this child look a little like Su Wen when he was young?”
Emperor Zhou pondered for a moment but did not say anything. If he said something like this, he would probably fall out with them.
Emperor Zhou looked at Su Wen and asked, “Then if I hand it to you, what if you go back on your words?”
Su Wen shook his head. “If Your Majesty doesn’t trust my Great Chu, there’s no need for an alliance!”
Emperor Zhou stopped talking. Even if he didn’t trust them, he had to believe it. Furthermore, this was a matter of mutual benefit.
Emperor Zhou agreed, and Su Wen slowly withdrew his True Qi.
The Star Disk dimmed.
In the Zhou Emperor’s palace, the Zhou Emperor closed his eyes.
He was overflowing with hate right now!
However, he knew that he urgently needed help at this moment.
Otherwise, Great Zhou would truly be in danger.
With Wu Qiuhan’s status, he did not dare to agree to Su Wen’s three conditions. However, in his opinion, these were all nothing.
Zhao Wanrou’s mother was not worth much.
In Emperor Zhou’s opinion, it was unrealistic to use this woman to threaten Su Wen.
As for money, he did not lack it now! He just lacked generals and combat power.
As for the Five Tyrant Arts, if he could give it to Yan Country, he could naturally give it to Chu Country. He didn’t care about it.
“Su Changqing… actually didn’t die! This old fox…”
Compared to Su Wen, Emperor Zhou hated Su Changqing to the core.
The old adage that however much you cherished a person would correspond to the intensity of hate was totally true.
How much trust he had back then was how much anger he had now.
“Get someone to prepare the money.”
Emperor Zhou instructed.
The old eunuch sighed helplessly. He knew that Emperor Zhou was unhappy, but what could he do?
After about two hours…
Emperor Zhou suddenly felt the Star Disk move again.
He immediately connected to the Star Disk and saw Su Wen lying on the recliner in his courtyard. He smiled and said, “Yo, Old Zhao, I thought I would chat with you since I have nothing to do. It’s been a long time since we last met. I miss you!”
The corners of Emperor Zhou’s mouth twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, “You brat, you still have the cheek to say this to me. Let me ask you, did I treat you badly in any way?”
Su Wen smiled. “No!”
This was the truth. From his point of view, Emperor Zhou was quite good to him.
“Then why did you betray Great Zhou and leave?”
Su Wen said helplessly, “I don’t have a choice. Who asked you not to be my father? If my father wants to leave, I can’t put justice before family just because you’re good to me, right?”
“Besides, if I attack the Crown Prince, I’ll bring disaster to myself sooner or later.”
Emperor Zhou sneered. “Why are you looking for me?” He felt that Su Wen couldn’t be looking for him to reminisce about the past.
Su Wen looked at him and shook his head with a smile. “There’s really nothing. I’m just here to look at you. I’m very curious about how you transformed back.”
Emperor Zhou said coldly, “That’s none of your business. Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing! I’m busy with national affairs and don’t have time to bother with you!”
Emperor Zhou directly cut off his True Qi.
Unfortunately… after two hours…
Su Wen started to harass him with his True Qi again.
“What are you doing!” Emperor Zhou was furious when the ‘video call’ connected.
Su Wen smiled and said, “I was planning to make a livestream of myself eating hotpot for you… Look at the Great Chu mutton, it’s delicious!”
“Scram!”
Emperor Zhou snapped before cutting the call.
But the harassment was endless…
“Old Zhao, remember to get me some specialties from Great Zhou. I can’t eat them in Great Chu, and I really miss them.”
“Old Zhao! Old Zhao! Are you asleep? I remember now. Bring me some fabric from the Bipo Mountain Villa.”
“Old Zhao… what Grade are you in Heaven Rank? How about you share some of your martial dao insights?”
For the next few days, Emperor Zhou was almost driven crazy by Su Wen’s harassment…
He regretted letting Wu Qiuhan go with the Star Disk…
Su Wen was just trying to play Emperor Zhou to his death.
After possessing a system for a long time… it’s inevitable to have bad taste… and even more inevitable for the user to become perverted…
At night in the capital of Great Zhou, in the Su Residence. Ever since Su Wen left, this residence had been uninhabited.
Two tall figures appeared.
Tamu Chuan and Sula!
Tamu Chuan said in a low voice, “This is Su Wen’s family residence. I heard that they are rich, so let’s see what we can get from here to sell. We will have money to live on then. Anyway, this brat has also betrayed the country.”
“Yes, yes!” Sula nodded.
The two of them were currently living quite well in the capital of Great Zhou.
In comparison, the Fire Barbarians were too poor.
As for Xu Qiao… neither of them cared about him at this point.
“This vase must be worth a lot if it’s so big…”
“And this chair!”
“Do you think this bed is worth anything?”
As the two of them kept moving things around…
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind them.
It was Su Wen!
Su Wen did not expect that… he would find someone stealing from his house the moment he returned.
In reality, Emperor Zhou had already told him that he had prepared the things three days ago.
However, to be safe, he kept dragging it on and did not say when he would go and take it.
Then, he took advantage of the night and suddenly opened the portal to arrive in Great Zhou.
In the end, he realized that there seemed to be two upper Grade Earth Rank people in his house.
“Hey! Bros, what are you guys doing! Count me in!”
Su Wen smiled.
“Take whatever you want. What’s there to count you in?” Tamu Chuan placed a table into the spirit artifact and spoke without turning his head.
Suddenly, his body stiffened…
That’s not right! He suddenly turned around and saw Su Wen. Their eyes met.
He flipped his hand and was about to attack.
Bang! But Su Wen beat him to it, punching him in the stomach.
Sula also noticed the abnormality, but she could not resist Su Wen at all.
She was also easily knocked down by Su Wen.
At this moment, Su Wen looked at Tamu Chuan and fell into deep thought. “You look a little familiar.”
At this moment, Tamu Chuan was filled with shock!
This guy had broken through to the Heaven Rank?
That unparalleled power was definitely not what the 9th Grade of Earth Rank could produce!
