Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1712: Chapter 128: Huge Profit! Little Immortal the Dutiful Daughter (Seeking Monthly Votes)

…

In the midst of the conversation.

Wang Lixian and Emperor Yunping were already at each other’s throats.

“Thirty percent? Are you treating me like a beggar?” Wang Lixian glared indignantly with her hands on her hips, her delicate and adorable face resolute, looking like she wouldn’t concede an inch, “If it weren’t for our Wang family this time, Beizhou might have had to change the family ruling the imperial household. This is nothing short of saving the nation; asking for eighty percent isn’t excessive~”

“You little brat, you sure have a big mouth.” Emperor Yunping, too, wouldn’t budge, acting like a world-wise elder, “I admit your Wang family contributed significantly this time, but we in Beizhou fielded three Void Realm and nine Divine Power Territory experts, so by that calculation, thirty percent for you isn’t low.”

“Old Yunping, don’t bully people too much!” Wang Lixian rolled her eyes at him angrily, “You’re really inept at everything except claiming credit! Just like that prince from your family, rushing in to steal my beast, isn’t it all because of your influence!”

The Beizhou Prince who “stole the beast” shrank his neck at her words.

Why is this little grand aunt bringing this up again? Didn’t he already return the person just now?

“You little brat, negotiation is negotiation; who wouldn’t want to negotiate more spoils for their family.” Emperor Yunping huffed angrily, “But you can’t resort to personal attacks like this.”

“Is this a personal attack? I’m stating facts! As an emperor, you should have an open heart, a broad outlook, and think far ahead. You should focus more on cultivating powerful allies and teammates; jealousy of the capable is absolutely unacceptable.” Wang Lixian lectured Emperor Yunping like an elder, “If I were Wei King, I would have rebelled against you by now.”

Emperor Yunping was almost overwhelmed with fury.

This girl looks like a porcelain doll, a harmless-looking little cub, yet her words are so venomous? It’s infuriating, truly infuriating!

Beside them, Wei King, shackled by the Soul Lock and looking thoroughly disheveled, initially seemed about to erupt with anger seeing them divide the spoils in front of him, but hearing this corner of the conversation couldn’t help but reveal a commiserating expression, chiming in, “Old Yunping indeed is a poor leader. If he truly were a capable emperor, would I have walked down this path today?”

“Shut up! You’re just a case of the second brother laughing at the eldest brother, yet you dare say that.” Wang Lixian shot him a glance and mercilessly bombarded him with scorn, “As a Duke, even if you disapprove of the current imperial household’s actions, why not openly confront them and split the family?”

“With your Wei family’s strength, status, and past merits, if you dare to stir up this matter, the Immortal Dynasty will definitely intervene to mediate. If handled properly, getting three of the ten counties from Beizhou should be no problem. Then, your Wei family can use that as a base to gradually expand its power.”

“The reason your Wei family chose to leverage the Demonic Dynasty’s power was clearly out of insatiable greed, wanting to take a shortcut, usurp the Ji family’s assets entirely. No matter how innocently or helplessly you paint yourself, committing such acts of harm against your own kind is still your Wei family’s fault!”

Her father Wang Shouzhe often lamented that people in this world always seek shortcuts, usually for two reasons: either insufficient capability or excessive greed, or simply both.

Wei Boyu belongs to the category of possessing both.

She couldn’t help but recall her grandpa Longchang.

Despite both being emperors, grandpa Longchang also has countless minor flaws like being petty and vindictive, and always likes to go against her father, secretly reporting him, yet truly, over his lifetime, he’s never been confused over the big things.

If not for this, Da Qian wouldn’t be where it is today.

Especially after staying with the Wang family, even knowing about the existence of the two Immortal Seeds — herself and Wang Zongkun, he never thought of forcefully taking them. Instead, he constantly protected the Wang family in secret, helping extract various top-quality Spirit Veins, not to mention secretly supporting the Wang family through poker losses.

This vision and pattern are unmatched by Emperor Yunping.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but glance at Emperor Yunping and Wei Boyu again, sighing with emotion, “Sigh~ Beizhou was originally a strong nation, having a ‘Wolong’ was bad enough, now they’ve produced a ‘Phoenix Chick,’ how could this nation not decline?”

Wang Lixian’s torrent of scathing rebukes left Emperor Yunping and Wei King livid and speechless.

The two Sacred Masters from Jin Guang Sacred Land and Dong Wu Sacred Land couldn’t help but nod discreetly, sharing empathic sentiments.

Neither Yunping nor Wei King are easy to deal with, working with them is genuinely challenging. In this regard, no one has more authority to speak than them.

“Alright, alright, since we’ve talked to this extent, as the emperor, I indeed must support promising Human race Prominent Families.” Fortunately, Emperor Yunping had thick enough skin and swiftly changed his tune, “Forty percent, I’ll give your Wang family forty percent. This is already my limit in making concessions. Too much asset loss equates to weakening Da Zhou’s national strength.”

“Emperor grandpa, that’s not really accurate. The Human race in the Immortal Dynasty is inherently a community of shared destiny; when treasures and assets circulate internally, it actually promotes reasonable resource allocation. Take our Wang family, for example, we have a good worldview and social responsibility. Once we get stronger, we will undoubtedly contribute greatly to the Human race.” Wang Lixian spoke eloquently, “Whether combating the Red Moon Demonic Dynasty or extraterritorial demons, our Wang family won’t shirk responsibility.”
