“Why did Sif and Qin Ge fight?” I was shocked.

Lochlan shook his head, “I don’t know about that. The War Hawk Knights that we sent over to scout were all wiped out and none of them returned so no one knew what happened there. The only thing we can be sure of is that a battle between hybrid demons occurred there. Lady Frost said that it was a fight for power.”

“Fight for power?” I frowned, “Qin Ge was personally brought up by Azure and Sif was controlled by Azure’s soul so what is there to fight? Did an accident occur?”

“Probably.” Lin Qiong said, “Forget it, let them fight, we can just observe. The empire is just formed so there are many things we have to do. Those marquis are all fighting and they want rewards so that is quite a problem. This hybrid demon squabble has earned us some time to rule.”

Lochlan nodded, “En, General Li is right. Master Li what are your plans now?”

I didn’t hide my thoughts, “Head back to Tian Ling City to see Pearl. Your Majesty should head back too, there is the capital, you shouldn’t be out for too long. Moreover, you don’t have any heir so no one can be in charge there.”

He looked like he was a in a tough situation and he scratched his head, “About the heir, let’s talk about that in the future, I will try my best…”

The generals all laughed.

……

I took out the City Return Scroll and headed back to Tian Ling City.

Pearl’s body was locked in the underground ice cavern. Numerous Royal Army and Guards Army troops were outside. Tian Ling City had high importance on Pearl and wouldn’t let anything happen. But with the hybrid demons having an internal war, nothing wrong should happen with Pearl.

“The Executor!” A few guards bowed toward me. It seemed like they haven’t gotten the news that I had become king if not they would kneel.

“En, who is in charge?” I asked.

Before my words landed, a person came from below and cupped his fists, “The Executor, Fire Dragon Army Tan Taiyu is here to guard. Pearl is sealed in ice but his majesty told me to send troops to surround this place with dozens of layers. Moreover, lady frost is here too so there shouldn’t be anything wrong. His majesty is too careful.”

“It is good to be careful. Follow me, let’s go and see pearl.”

“Yes!”

After taking down Swirling Abyss City and Iron Skull City, my reputation in Tian Ling City was totally different such that generals like Tan Taiyu listened to only me. He led the guards down the steps and after ten minutes when the environment turned cold, our eyes lit up. A crystal appeared at the center and inside was Pearl’s body. On the side, Frost stood there and didn’t say anything.

“Frost.” I called out.

Frost turned around to look at me and she smiled, “Xiao Yao you are here!”

She spread her arms and hugged me. Her face was buried by my neck, “I thought that I wouldn’t be able to see you!”

“Why?” I smiled and asked.

She raised her head and looked deeply at me, “I don’t know, I just had that feeling that you won’t come back. Good, you finally appeared.”

I placed my hands on her thin waist and smiled, “Nope, I will come back again, there are people here I miss.”

“Oh… Is that so?” Her face turned red and she stood there, “Then don’t go okay? Accompany here, even if… You aren’t from here.”

“En, okay!”

“Deal.”

“En.”

I held her hand and turned to say towards Pearl, “When will Pearl wake up?”

“The formation is removing the evil spirit from her body and it is around 90% done. No rush, she will wake up soon, then she will truly be the princess of Tian Ling City.”

Red energy entered the crystal and sucked away black energy. One could hear the soul crying out. The voice was familiar, it was the evil spirit that occupied her body.

Frost smiled, “The evil spirit is called Sylvana, a space angel that Azure brought out from hell and it is really evil. Fortunately, Pearl’s body became really strong and her soul is firm. The moment Sylvana occupied her body, her soul hid in a corner and manage to survive.

“That..” I took out the Saint Heaven Token and looked at Pearl before sighing, “This is the real Pearl…”

“Xiao Yao what is this?” Frost suddenly asked.

I smiled, “Nothing much, I have retired from my role.”

“Ah?” She opened her mouth, “This… Is it considered retiring at the peak?”

“En, yea, I shall guard Dragon City with you in the future.”

“En, good good good!” Her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

……

“When will pearl wake up?”

“Around 6 more hours.”

“Then I shall wait here!”

“En.”

Just like that, I talked to my teacher while sending invitations in the group chat to all my important friends. But when I saw the dark Shen Ming on the list, my heart felt really pained. Her portrait was the beginner archer from the newbie village and she didn’t change it. She said that looking like that made her look very wild which made everyone speechless. But now, if she was able to say anything to us, that would be so luxurious.

6 hours in game was just an hour in real life so very quickly cracks appeared on the crystal.

Frost walked forwards, her legs stepping on star energy and she slowly helped to release the crystals.

“Pu pu pu…”

When the crystals landed on the ground, Pearl was helped out. She sighed and opened her eyes, “I… Have been saved?”

She looked at me in shock, “I… Recognise you, you are Royal Army General Li Xiao Yao…”

I knelt down on one knee, “Greets lady.”

Situ Xin knelt down too, “Guards Army Situ Xin greets Lady! Li Xiao Yao is not only the general but also the emperor’s teacher, he is The Executor!”

Pearl was really weak and she sat down. She smiled, “I was right, now… Who is in charge of Tian Ling City?”

“It is hard to summarise.” I didn’t know what to say. After Pearl died, many things that she didn’t expect had happened.

Situ Xin helped me, “After you died in Flaming Cloud City, hybrid demons attacked us and Emperor Owen died. After that, Luo Xun led an army to assist and after recovering the empire, his son Lochlan became emperor. Now millions of troops have conquered Flaming Cloud Empire, Nine Heavens Empire, Moon Empire, Iron Skull Empire and Swirling Abyss Empire. We have unified the continent and there is only one empire left. Marshal Li is The Executor and holds power over 4.4 million troops!”

She was stunned and she looked at me, “Wa, Li Xiao Yao… What you have done really shocks me… Just, second brother actually died, I didn’t expect that, then… What about their children?”

“In the fight for power, they were all assassinated by Luo Xun.”

“This…” She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. Energy surged around it, “Where is Luo Xun, I will rip him to pieces. What a scum!”

“He was killed by Marshal Li on the frontlines.” Situ Xin said.

“Oh, that’s good…”

She raised her head and then looked at Frost before bowing, “Lady Frost thank you for saving my life.”

Frost smiled, “No worries.”

……

I walked forwards to help Pearl and also took clean clothes to cover her.

Frost was a smart girl and she glanced at me, “Xiao Yao, since the ruler is Lochlan how are you planning to arrange me after?”

I sucked in a deep breath, “Do you remember everything in Hybrid Demon Territory?”

“I remember, why?”

“I hope that once you recover, head back.”

“Why?” She was shocked.

“You have power there. One can say that once Azure died, your status is the highest. You can form an army and battle Sif and Qin Ge. But you represent the humans. For you to control them, we will be able to gain lasting peace.”

I said, “That is the best plan I could think of. I will make you Queen of the North to build a city for you and an empire. Then Lochlan and you will each rule south and north.”

Pearl was shocked and looked deeply at me, “Xiao Yao, you are totally different from before…”

……

Right, one mountain couldn’t have two tigers, Only by letting her rule the north will Lochhlan’s position be protected. If not many officials will use the chance to push for Pearl to rule which would cause more chaos. Since I decided to exit the army system, I had to arrange things well. If not, if I left a problem to Uncle Yan Zhao, you would definitely curse at me.
