Protect Our Clan Leader

“By the way, I have a Heavenly Decree here.” The Cangping God Emperor calmly took out a Heavenly Decree, framed with yellow brocade, and handed it to Old Tan, saying, “Send a message to the Lord of the Sea of Clouds Heavenly Abode, Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme, instructing him to deliver the decree and protect [Principal Supervisor of Foreign Affairs for Interracial Matters] Wang Licui, to immediately accompany the Barbaric Giant Stonehammer Tribe to the frontline of the Void Sea.”

“And order [Supervisor] Wang Licui to strictly oversee the Barbaric Giant Stonehammer Tribe, lest they take advantage of My benefits yet slack off on the battlefield. Hmph, My money is not so easy to take.”

“What what what?” Eunuch Old Tan was so shocked that his eyes widened, “Your Majesty, don’t you like Licui the most? Why order her to the battlefield to supervise? The frontline of the Void Sea is too dangerous, and she is still so young…”

“As the saying goes, a jade must be carved to become a useful vessel.” The Cangping God Emperor said calmly, “Licui is a Goddess of Fortune, her life is very strong. Moreover, this journey is merely to oversee, those barbarian giants treat her as one of their own, and the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme will accompany her for protection, where is the danger? Furthermore, since Licui has already intervened in the royal military affairs, advocating for raising the salaries and pensions of the barbarian tribes, she should naturally support and make good use of them. Otherwise, isn’t it just empty talk without action?”

Old Tan’s forehead was dripping with sweat.

The Emperor’s intentions are indeed unfathomable~

Is the Emperor punishing Licui for acting independently on behalf of the Barbarian Giant Clan, or is he intending to promote and support her?

Old Tan speculated secretly, guessing it might be both.

However, the Void Sea battlefield is still too perilous. Even with the protection of the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme and the Barbarian Giant Tribe, if the battle becomes intense, those rough men might not be able to ensure complete safety.

To be safe, more protection should be provided for Licui.

After pondering for a moment, Old Tan continued to knead the Emperor’s shoulders without changing his strength but suddenly switched the topic, “Your Majesty, I see you and Licui are quite close, and given her extraordinary Bloodline Talent, how about taking her as an adopted daughter?”

“This is something I have considered.” The Cangping God Emperor said with a calm gaze, “Unfortunately, if Licui is conferred as a princess of a different surname, it would be difficult to explain to the Primordial Taoist Palace.”

Primordial Taoist Palace?

Eunuch Old Tan was startled awake, suddenly understanding.

So that’s the Emperor’s plan.

Indeed, a branch of the ’Tranquil Sky Divine King’ is already troublesome enough for the Emperor. If the Ying Clan rises again, hehe… It’s rumored that the Ying Clan plans to find a way to retrieve their lost ancestral Dao Book once Yin Lingzhu ascends to the position of Taoist Master.

If the Ying Clan’s plan succeeds, they will surely leap to the ranks of the God Clan, and with mutual support from the Dao Palace, their momentum might surpass that of the Tranquil Sky Divine King’s lineage by a few degrees.

Though the Emperor is in his prime and unafraid, there will eventually come a day when he must pass on to the next generation…

Understanding the Emperor’s intention, Old Tan did not mention the matter again, but instead, he smiled and said, “How about letting this old servant accompany to secretly protect Miss Licui?”

“Why would you old thing go? Does My side not need someone to serve anymore?” The Cangping God Emperor waved off the proposal, “You needn’t worry about Licui’s safety. I have My own decisions. That child’s nature is simple yet spirited, and she is surprisingly well-liked by the Barbarian Giant Clan. It would be better for her to spend more time honing her skills in the military while she’s young. A few more military achievements to shield her can only benefit her future.”

“If that’s so, then I will immediately send a message to the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme.” Old Tan requested.

“Go quickly.” The Cangping God Emperor waved his hand, his tone slightly impatient, “A dignified master of the Heavenly Abode, actually goes to do such heavy labor, it’s remarkable how he manages to have such a thick skin.”

“This old servant takes leave, and will promptly bring back the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme.”

***

Some time later.

In the Divine Martial World.

Da Qian Longzuo County, Changning Territory, Ping’an Town.

Main Residence of the Wang family.

Wang Shouzhe’s Courtyard.

After leaving the follow-up matters of the Demonic Realm to Wang Fugui, Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan returned to the Wang family.

Now, even though the Nine Hells Demon God has been defeated, there’s still a lot to handle next in the Demonic Realm.

Not to mention the Sawbone Demon God, the Demonic Clan had previously invaded the Human race, and the hatred between the two is deeply ingrained, to the point of being irreconcilable. Integrating the Demonic Clan under effective rule is not a simple task, and the Human race will certainly not accept it easily.

Additionally, the vast territory of the Demonic Realm, and how to develop and manage it, how to deal with ordinary members of the Demonic Clan, how to set up legal and administrative systems… these are all major issues. It seems there will be a lot to be busy with in the future.

However, busyness was left to Wang Fugui. Having returned to his own courtyard, Wang Shouzhe was now resting comfortably, half-lying in a Taishi Chair.

Sunlight filtered through the grape trellis, casting mottled shadows over him, creating an indescribable sense of tranquility and comfort from a distance.

A pretty little girl of four or five was sitting on his lap.

The little girl was as cute as jade, looking like a kid from a New Year painting, listening intently with large, bright eyes to Wang Shouzhe’s storytelling of the tale of Zhu Ba Jie eating a ginseng fruit.

This little girl, the daughter of Wang Fugui and Princess Zhao Yu, is named [Wang Guiling]. She was four and a half years old, and is the ’eldest legitimate daughter’ of the new generation of the Wang family.
