Chapter 748: Chapter 747: Thus changes the hearts of parents under the heavens, no longer preferring to bear sons but daughters
Despite the First Emperor’s nonchalance towards human life, killing as he pleased, he never went so far as to take pleasure in tormenting the powerless.
In the eyes of the First Emperor, what the strong ought to do was to rule over the weak and challenge the stronger ones.
Bullying the weak only served to show his own incapacity.
The red-dressed maiden, Meng Yue’er, was crying. Having been cherished by her family since childhood, fearing even a slight wound she might get, rich young men also circled around her. When had she ever suffered such indignity?
Her great-grandmother had clearly told her that as long as she was beautiful, it didn’t matter what her cultivation was, and someday, she would be favored by the master, and no one would dare bully her.
But this was completely different from what her great-grandmother had described.
...
“Let go of my young lady!” The servant of the Meng family was horrified to see his young lady being mistreated. As she rode too fast, they unintentionally fell far behind her. They had never thought that such a situation would arise from such a small oversight.
This was Sleeping Dragon City, controlled by the Meng Family. Even a dragon would have to sleep here, who would dare to be so arbitrary?
How dare he!
“Why doesn’t someone rescue me!” Meng Yue’er was furious at the tardiness of her servant.
The First Emperor glanced dismissively at the noisy servants, too lazy to lift a finger.
The horse, frightened by the First Emperor, rose to its feet, its eyes red as it charged towards the servants.
Although the horse had no spiritual senses, it had its instinct to avoid danger. It sensed that if it did not do so, it might be the one to die.
“This beast has gone mad!”
“Don’t let it hit you!”
The servants were horrified, unable to dodge in time. They were knocked to the ground, their heads crushed under the horse’s hooves.
The death of the Meng family servants did not evoke cheers. Instead, people were worried about the First Emperor.
“Who is this reckless youngster? If he offends the Meng family, he’s certain to come to a bad end.”
“I remember a few years ago, there was a newly initiated cultivator who saw the wrongdoings of the Meng family. He killed several servants and the next day he was found dead in the streets, with no one knowing the cause of death.”
“Some said the Meng family retaliated; others said it was the people sent by the City Lord, no one knows for sure.”
“The cultivator’s clan wanted to find the killer and avenge him, but when they heard that it was the Meng family, they dropped the idea.”
“Should we warn him?”
“Forget it, there’s no benefit in doing so, and we don’t want to draw fire upon ourselves.”
The crowd was whispering, nobody thought the First Emperor would prevail.
…
“Great-grandmother, why don’t we move our Meng family to Zhou Empery, Tianyuan or the White Marsh Dynasty?”
“The Zhou Dynasty is the most powerful, even the Human Emperor’s sleeping palace is there.”
“The queen of Tianyuan and White Marsh Emperor are the Human Emperor’s beloved concubines. If the Meng family were to go there, showing a slight inclination towards us, our Meng family could strive for better development.”
“Although Great Yong is one of the nine empires, it ranks last.”
Great-grandmother Meng Yu, a dignified and elegant classical beauty. Although not of peerless beauty, she was a rare beauty. Even the princesses of the Great Yong Dynasty, in comparison with her, are slightly deficient in temperament and appearance.
When she heard this foolish question posed by the head of the Meng family, she was displeased.
“You fool, do you think those three empires are that easy to penetrate?”
“Could you please clarify, Great-grandmother?”
“The Human Emperor’s palace is in Zhou, which has displeased Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou. Although Ji Zhi still calls the Human Emperor his brother on the surface, Ji Zhi has long not considered him as a brother.”
“Moreover, the laws of Zhou are strict, treating cultivators and ordinary people equally. Do you think the Meng family would have the same freedom in Zhou?”
“Even though I have been serving the master for many years, don’t think that I don’t know about the Meng family’s reputation.”
“Also, Female Master Jade Hidden and the White Marsh Emperor, they won’t favor the Meng family.”
“It’s because of me that the Meng family has the status it has today, but that’s only in Sleeping Dragon City. Don’t dream of further progress.”
Then, is there any other way out for our Meng family?”
“Of course there is”, Meng Yu said casually, “You have your daughter, don’t you?”
“Yue’er?” The head of the Meng family thought his daughter was arrogant and had insufficient talent for cultivation; what could she possibly achieve?
“Despite the fact that the master has never analyzed his own harem, he probably hasn’t noticed something himself, but I have.”
“What is it?” The Meng Family Master questioned.
“The types of women in the master’s harem rarely conflict with each other.”
“For example, female Master Jade Hidden, she is a strong, independent woman, and a ruler of a country. The White Marsh Emperor sisters conflict with Master Jade Hidden in terms of ruling a country, but they are demons and sisters who share feelings, providing an unusual stimuli for a man.”
“And there’s the Pure Heart Saintess, who’s innocent and naive, not competitive, and pitiful. Besides, the identity of a saintess adds points to her.”
“Island Master Mo from Penglai Fairy Island, a woman who has a husband but is adored by the Dragon King of the Four Seas.”
“Ah Miaomiao from the Gu tribe, dark-skinned and flat-chested.”
“Can you see it? They all have their own characteristics setting them apart from other women.”
“Now, there is still a vacancy in the master’s harem for a girl who is adorable and has a naughty disposition. This place is left for Yue’er.”
“But what if Yue’er behaves improperly and angers the Human Emperor?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
“That won’t happen. I’ve taught Yue’er since childhood to admire the strongest. After she becomes the master’s woman, she would at most be a little willful towards him, but she would not do anything out of order.”
“Taming an unruly lady is also attractive to men.”
At this point, Meng Yu revealed a trace of a smile. If Yue’er became a member of the master’s harem, she wouldn’t have to be his servant anymore.
There are ways to stick to a stronger person.
A servant rushed into the ancestral hall in a panic, “Great-grandmother, something terrible has happened. Yue’er’s been trampled underfoot in the street and many servants have died close to her!”
“What!” Meng Yu stood up abruptly. Nothing could go wrong with Yue’er.
“Someone strong enough to kill the servants must not be any common man. Hurry and contact the City Lord and the Lord of the branch of the Sky Mechanism Tower that is stationed in Great Yong!”
“Yes!”
When Meng Yu arrived at the scene, she saw a very bizarre scene.
A dignified man was stepping on Yue’er, her pretty face rolling around on the ground. Yue’er’s crying didn’t soften the man’s heart at all.
The people around were kneeling on the ground, worshiping the man.
“Who are you? Do you know what the Human Emperor means to us…?” Meng Yu was about to say indirectly, suggesting that they had the support of the Human Emperor, but she was interrupted.
“Why don’t you kneel when you see me?”
Meng Yu’s legs gave out from under her and she fell to her knees, her face showing fear.
She finally understood why the others were kneeling on the ground, not out of their own volition, but because this man’s aura was so powerful that it forced them to kneel.
Despite Meng Yu’s worldly experiences from constantly being around Jiang Li, she had never heard of such a thing.
What kind of cultivation level was this man at?
“I’ve waited half a day, and all that comes is a wretch’s maidservant?”
The First Emperor gripped Meng Yue’er’s hair and walked in front of Meng Yu.
Meng Yu, crawling on the ground, could only see the Emperor’s feet.
“Tell me, what has this wretch, Jiang Li, been doing since becoming the Human Emperor?”
It was only then that Meng Yu understood that the “wretch’s maidservant” was not intended to insult her, but to call Jiang Li a wretch.
