Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife-Chapter 955 - : Solidifying the Power of Fate (1)

Chapter 955: Solidifying the Power of Fate (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Another year, the summer rain was boundless. Bean-sized raindrops fell on the top floor of the pavilion, splashing up a clear sound like rain hitting banana leaves. The rain formed a curtain, and mist filled the air. The bamboo curtains on both sides of the pavilion blocked the mist.

Shen Ping sat on the wooden chair. He looked like he was taking a nap, but he was actually looking at his virtual frame. At the top was still his wife, Wang Yun’s black crown. Next was Yu Yan’s. After that, there were other dao companions.

As for his wife and concubine who had been in love with him in the palace world, they were all ordinary frames. There were only a few silver frames.

“Before I knew it, I had so many wives and concubines,” he couldn’t help but sigh. Although he was promiscuous in this aspect, he had never thought of having so many wives and concubines. Not to mention Wang Yun and Yu Yan from the Immortal Dao Domain, he had just as many in the palace world alone.

Unfortunately, one’s energy was limited. Even if he tried his best to take care of every wife and concubine, it would be difficult for him to have a heart-to-heart with every woman beside him like before.

If not for the fact that he was in the previous blue world, Shen Ping might not even know what his wives were thinking. Perhaps this is life. Perhaps it was the coldness of time. Or perhaps it’s a given fate.

Thinking of this, he could not help but think of the virtual interface.

If not for the fact that he had a golden finger, he had already died when he was at his weakest. It was impossible for him to reach his current state. However, ever since he ascended, the only help the virtual interface had given him was the solidified strange beast talent and the solidified memories in the palace world.

Looking carefully at each virtual box, Shen Ping sighed softly. There are some things you can’t help. His gaze landed on the ordinary virtual frame of Yang Yimo.

He had a sudden impulse. He looked up at Yang Yimo, who was feeding the child, and asked, “Yimo, what do you think will happen if I’m imprisoned by the ruler of the Yun Nation one day and can’t see the light of day for the rest of my life?”

Yang Yimo was stunned. “Husband, what are you talking about? You’re the director of Lingzhou and a seven-star Luminarist. How can the ruler of the Yun Nation imprison you?”

“What if, I say what if. You should know that I’ve nurtured many people over the years and used them to promote my strategy for the benefit of the people. These policies have offended many dignitaries,” Shen Ping said softly.

Yang Yimo’s movements paused for a moment before he said, “I will beg the Monarch to let you go. If it really doesn’t work, I will accompany you in the capital’s Heaven Prison when I raise our child.”

Shen Ping shook his head. “Then you might die. No, you will definitely die.”

“I’m not afraid. As long as you’re by my side, I don’t care about death,” Yang Yimo spoke very calmly.

Yet Shen Ping believed her. He looked at the virtual frame that did not change and suddenly smiled. Originally, he had planned to use his methods to nurture his direct descendants in the imperial court. He even secretly controlled some dignitaries.

When the other chess player started to exert his strength, he would compete with him. But now, everything was up to fate. If that was his destiny, he would follow it.

Next, he continued to promote his strategy to benefit the people and quietly change the lives and fate of the people. Under this nourishment, his longevity lamp burned brighter and brighter, but at the same time, he offended more and more dignitaries.

There were gradually voices of opposition in the court. However, it was suppressed by the ruler of the Yun Nation. After all, Shen Ping, the director of the government office, was related to the safety of Lingzhou Moreover, the tax revenue of Lingzhou over the years was indeed not bad.

It was the spring of Jing Yun’s twenty-third year. Some censors impeached Shen Ping for overstepping his authority to interfere with the local affairs and colluding with the dark luminarist to accumulate wealth.

The ruler of the Yun Country could only send a special envoy. After the special envoy returned, not only did he confirm the impeachment of the censor, but he also gathered evidence of Shen Ping colluding with the Yan Kingdom and attempting to send the three prefectures to the Yan Kingdom in order to exchange for the title of nobility.

This made the ruler of the Yun Country furious. He issued a decree to send an eight-star Luminarist to escort Shen Ping to the capital. He was locked up in a special prison specially used to imprison Luminarists.

The Yang Family of Lingzhou was also implicated. However, the Yang family was deeply rooted, and there were many officials in the court who spoke up for them. Only then was the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family exempted.

“Father, please save my husband. I’m sure you have a plan!” Yang Yimo knelt in front of her father.

Patriarch Yang flicked his sleeves and coldly said, “Your father, I, can’t even protect myself, so how can I care about him? Back then, I advised him not to mess around with those things. It was too offensive, but he didn’t listen and caused today’s disaster. You have to understand that this isn’t a crime, but to overturn the entire court system. The Monarch can’t let him go.

“But you don’t have to worry. He’s a seven-star high-grade Luminarist. He won’t die. From today on, you’ll sever your relationship with him, and my Yang family has nothing to do with him.”

Yang Yimo begged, but it was useless. In the end, she was expelled from the residence by the rest of the Yang family.

As Shen Ping’s strategy of benefiting the people had offended too many influential people, after he was imprisoned, these influential people sent assassins one after another to destroy Yang Yimo, Luo Lin, and his descendants.

Yang Yimo could only escape from Yun Country overnight with Luo Lin and the children.

Five years after settling down, the children are all grown up. She asked Luo Lin to accompany the children while she returned to the Yun Country again and asked her father to think of a way to save Shen Ping from the prison.

Unfortunately, it was still fruitless. Helpless, Yang Yimo could only come to the capital and continue to plead for mercy in the Lin Manor and the other officials that Shen Ping had once befriended. In the end, she even personally barged into the Imperial City, wanting to ask the ruler of the Yun Nation to pardon Shen Ping.
