I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 41 The Fated LaborerAfter the founding ceremony ended, Emperor Cao Xukun completely entered ”slacking off” mode.

He wouldn’t get out of bed until the sun was high in the sky. He would hold Crown Prince Cao Hao, tease Cao Xuan, have Consort Su Qingyue peel grapes for him, have Su Qingying fan him, have Empress Liu Ruyan brew tea, and have Lin Yueer massage his legs. When the Six Ministries piled memorials in front of him, he wouldn’t even glance at them, pushing them all onto Li Tieniu and the Great Elder.

”Emperor Xuan! This is the tax report for the Eastern Region Province, please sign it!” Li Tieniu, holding a stack of memorials, squatted in the courtyard with a bitter face. ”And there are mining applications from the Southern Region, water conservancy projects from the Western Region, won’t you at least take a look!”

”Look at what?” Emperor Cao Xukun lay on the rocking chair, biting on a candied hawthorn and speaking indistinctly. ”Do I need to handle these trivial matters personally? What are you all for? Handle it yourselves, don’t bother me. My main task right now is to accompany my wife and children; I’m focusing on balancing family and career.”

”But Emperor Xuan, these have piled up like a mountain!” Li Tieniu was on the verge of tears. ”I’m someone who leads troops in battle, how would I know how to manage these things! If this goes on, I’m going to go bald!”

”If you go bald, you go bald, bald heads are cool.” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand. ”If it really doesn’t work out, go find Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya. She just managed the Qingyun Sect perfectly; she’s a hundred times better at managing these than you.”

Li Tieniu’s eyes lit up: ”That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that! Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya will definitely be able to do it!” After saying that, he hugged the memorials and ran off in a flash, afraid that Emperor Cao Xukun would change his mind.

Consort Su Qingyue couldn’t help but laugh: ”You, you just know how to bully Tieniu.”

”Who told him to be so idle.” Emperor Cao Xukun chuckled. ”Besides, the capable should do more work. If I did all the work, wouldn’t they be unemployed? I’m creating job opportunities for them.”

Just as he finished speaking, a cold system notification suddenly exploded in his mind:

[Ding! System Warning! The Ten Thousand Dragon Secret Realm will open in three days!]

[Secret Realm Level: Ancient-tier]

[Core Opportunities: Ancient Dragon God Inheritance, Dragon Clan Origin Luck, myriad dragon pearl]

[Son of Destiny: Long Aotian (Dragon Clan direct descendant, Golden Luck)]

[Note: This is Long Aotian’s destined opportunity. After obtaining it, he will awaken the Supreme Dragon Clan bloodline, unify the demon clan, and become the Demon Emperor of the mortal realm!]

”Holy crap! Long Aotian?” Emperor Cao Xukun sat up abruptly from the rocking chair, almost throwing Cao Xuan out of his arms. ”This name sounds like a standard Son of Destiny! And a direct descendant of the Dragon Clan with Golden Luck? This setup is even higher than that kid Young Master Xiao Chen!”

Su Qingying was startled: ”What’s wrong? Who is Long Aotian?”

”Nothing, just another gift-giving boy coming along.” Emperor Cao Xukun rubbed his hands together, grinning from ear to ear. ”The system prompted that a Ten Thousand Dragon Secret Realm is about to open in the Northern Region. It has the Dragon God inheritance and Dragon Clan luck, originally meant for a Son of Destiny named Long Aotian.”

”A Son of Destiny?” Consort Su Qingyue frowned. ”Doesn’t that mean he’s very powerful? Like Young Master Xiao Chen?”

”Powerful my foot.” Emperor Cao Xukun sneered. ”What Son of Destiny? In my eyes, they are all destined laborers. Isn’t Young Master Xiao Chen an example? He worked hard to save up opportunities, and in the end, it all went to me. This Long Aotian is the same; he’s just a delivery person, specifically here to deliver the Dragon God inheritance to me.”

Just as he was talking, Li Tieniu ran back in a flurry, holding an urgent report in his hand: ”Emperor Xuan! Good news! News came from the Northern Region that the Ten Thousand Dragon Secret Realm is opening! It is said that there is the treasure of the Ancient Dragon God inside!”

”I already knew that.” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand. ”Not only do I know the secret realm is opening, I also know there is a Son of Destiny named Long Aotian waiting to get the inheritance.”

”Long Aotian?” Li Tieniu’s eyes widened. ”The legendary genius of the Dragon Clan, once in a century? I heard he awakened his Dragon Clan bloodline as soon as he was born and is already at the Late Golden Core Stage!”

”Late Golden Core Stage? Small potatoes.” Emperor Cao Xukun curled his lips in disdain. ”I’m at the early stage of the Spirit Severing Realm now; beating him is like crushing an ant. Perfect, I was just worrying about having nothing to do. I’ll go to the Northern Region for a stroll and cut off his inheritance while I’m at it.”

”Emperor Xuan! I’ll go with you!” Li Tieniu immediately perked up. ”I’ll bring fifty thousand cavalry; I guarantee to surround the Ten Thousand Dragon Secret Realm so tightly that not even a fly can get in!”

”No need, no need.” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand. ”Why bring so many people? It’s not like we’re going to war. The Ten Thousand Dragon Secret Realm is full of traps; having too many people will just get in the way. I’ll go by myself; I’m focusing on traveling light and finishing quickly.”

”But Emperor Xuan, that’s the Dragon Clan’s territory! Every member of the Dragon Clan is a good fighter, and there’s that Long Aotian. What if he plays dirty?” Consort Su Qingyue said worriedly.

”Don’t worry.” Emperor Cao Xukun pinched her cheek. ”I’m in the Spirit Severing Realm now, and I have the Mortal Realm Luck Dragon Robe to boost me. Let alone one Long Aotian, even if the entire Dragon Clan came at me together, I could beat them until they were looking for their teeth on the floor. Besides, I’m not going to fight them head-on; I’m going to cut them off.”

”Cut them off?” Li Tieniu scratched his head. ”How do you cut them off?”

”Dummy.” Emperor Cao Xukun rolled his eyes at him. ”The secret realm doesn’t open for three days. I’ll leave tomorrow and go in two days early. I’ll clear out all the treasures inside and take all the inheritances. By the time Long Aotian goes in, there won’t even be a hair left. Let’s see how he awakens his bloodline and becomes the Demon Emperor.”

”High! That is truly high!” Li Tieniu gave a thumbs up. ”Emperor Xuan, this trick of yours is too vicious! No, too smart! When Long Aotian goes in and finds nothing, he’ll probably vomit blood from anger on the spot!”

”That’s a must.” Emperor Cao Xukun lifted his chin triumphantly. ”I, Emperor Cao Xukun, may not have other skills, but my skill at cutting off Sons of Destiny is first-class. Young Master Xiao Chen was the first, Long Aotian is the second, and there will be a third, a fourth in the future.”

”All Sons of Destiny are my stepping stones. All opportunities and luck are things in my pocket.”

He turned to look at Consort Su Qingyue and Su Qingying, smiling and saying: ”You two stay home and take good care of your pregnancy. When I return, I’ll bring you pearl necklaces from the Dragon Clan, and the top-tier Dragon Saliva Incense. I’ll also bring two dragon eggs for Hao’er and Xuan’er to play with.”

”Can dragon eggs be used as toys?” Su Qingying blinked.

”Why not?” Emperor Cao Xukun shrugged. ”Anyway, the Dragon Clan has plenty of dragon eggs; what’s wrong with taking two to play with? If they dare to have an opinion, I’ll empty their nest.”

That night, Emperor Cao Xukun packed his luggage.

A war god spear, a chaos ring, plus a set of Mortal Realm Luck Dragon Robe.

Early the next morning, before the sky was even bright, Emperor Cao Xukun secretly slipped out of the palace and sped towards the Northern Region.

He hummed a little tune while flying through the air, feeling wonderful inside.

Dragon God inheritance, Dragon Clan luck, and pretty Dragon Clan young ladies, here I come!

Long Aotian, oh Long Aotian, you must come later.

After I finish moving all the good stuff inside, you can go in and cry.

After all, I am a good person; I have to leave you some memories, right?
