Restraining the joy in his eyes, Qin Shi wrapped the black robe tighter around himself. At that moment, he noticed that a corner of the black robe seemed to be grabbed by something. Looking down, his heart skipped a beat. Yu Luocha was lying on the bed, her face pale. It was obvious that the past few days had really tired her out.
Immediately, warmth blossomed in Qin Shi's heart. It was indeed difficult for a Late Cryptic Spirit realm girl to travel around with him for six days straight without any rest.
Smiling gently, Qin Shi took off the black robe and gently covered Yu Luocha's body. "Silly girl, you were already so stubborn when I first met you. You chased me for half a month. It's been a year and you're still so stubborn. You didn't even tell me when you're tired. You've been holding on by yourself like this."
"Who!?"
As soon as the black robe was placed on Yu Luocha's back, Yu Luocha felt as if she had been electrocuted. She immediately became alert and a cold look appeared in her eyes.
Looking around and seeing that no one was around, she finally relaxed her guard. When she saw Qin Shi next to her, she couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "Shi Tou, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have slept. I should've guarded you."
Seeing Yu Luocha like this, Qin Shi felt a sudden pain in his heart. He hugged Yu Luocha and said, "Silly girl, it's my fault. I couldn't even see how tired you were."
"It's not your fault. It's my own cultivation that can't keep up. If I could be like Xue Xin, I would be able to share your burden." Nestled in Qin Shi's arms, Yu Luocha softly murmured in disappointment.
"What are you talking about?"
Qin Shi smiled and shook his head. He put his hands on Yu Luocha's shoulders and said, "My woman only needs to stand behind me. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Yu Luocha's face was filled with happiness, but she pretended to be unhappy and said, "You're too much of a male chauvinist. In a relationship, you can't just do what you want. Only when both of you do what you want. We're all hiding behind you. What do you want us to do?"
"Give birth to my child." Qin Shi said shamelessly.
"Bah!"
Yu Luocha blushed. She glanced at him and said, "Aren't you embarrassed to say that? You should talk to Sister Xue Xin instead."
"Hehe, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, it's just a matter of time. None of you can run away. In this life, just continue the legacy of the Qin family for me honestly."
Speaking up to this point, Qin Shi's eyes swept over Yu Luocha lecherously. "Why don't we try it now?"
After saying that, Qin Shi directly threw Yu Luocha into his arms.
However, there were always some things that spoiled the mood. As soon as the two of them started to be intimate, Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. There was a knock on the door.
"Young Master Qin, the princess asked me to call you."
Lin Biao's movements could be heard outside the door, and Qin Shi couldn't help but curse, "F * ck!
This Lin Biao is really something. Of all times, it just had to come at this time! "
"Stop fooling around. Let's get down to business."
Speaking up to this point, Yu Luocha's voice was almost as low as the dust. "When the matter of the empire is over, I will really give myself to you. Are you satisfied now?"
"Really?"
Qin Shi was overjoyed. Like a child who had picked up a treasure, he quickly nodded and said, "It's a promise. Just because of this, I can't let Xiao Chong have an easy time."
"Look at you!" Yu Luocha scolded helplessly.
"Hehe, what's wrong with that? Isn't it natural for me to be with my wife?" Qin Shi stretched his body hard, and his whole person was also full of energy.
He also knew that this wasn't the time to relax. There was still a fierce battle waiting for him. He had to maintain 100% of his energy and help Lin Yu take the throne.
The reason wasn't because of the empire's peace or the people's lives. He didn't have such great ambitions, but because Lin Yu was his brother, just like Yu Luocha, Qin Xue Xin, and Jade In The Book, just like Qin Yongfeng, Qin Tianqing, Qiong Shuyao, Liu Yanbing, Su Ming, Yin Mo, Qin Shang, and all the people he cared about.
He said that he would protect them.
After leaving the residence, the Lin Concubine smiled kindly at the two of them. "How is it? Are you used to living here?"
"A habit is a habit. If this Lin Biao doesn't disturb me, that would be for the best." Qin Shi pursed his lips in displeasure after having his plans spoiled just now.
Hearing this, Yu Luocha's face turned red and she pinched Qin Shi's waist.
The Lin Concubine couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw the two's actions, "If that's the case, then it's my fault. How about this, when Yu 'er successfully ascends to the throne, I'll prepare a nice place for the two of you. I'll take care of all the flowers and wine.
"Really?" Qin Shi was delighted. Yu Luocha had just promised him. This was a timely help.
"Of course. There are a few good places in the palace that are suitable for lovers like you. The decorations are very warm and I guarantee you will be satisfied."
The Lin Concubine smiled teasingly, then said seriously, "Alright, the election for the new King is about to begin. For the sake of your honeymoon, you should hurry over."
Qin Shi was delighted at first, but then he was stunned, "You're not coming with us?"
The Lin Concubine calmed herself down and nodded, "Yes. There will be a regional vote in the morning. I won't be able to help even if I go back. I will take this opportunity to make some preparations. Besides, now is not the time to let Xiao Chong know that I am fine."
After thinking for a while, the Lin Concubine was right. If Xiao Chong knew that she was fine, he would be more cautious and this would be disadvantageous to them.
Therefore, Qin Shi agreed, "Then be careful, Lin Concubine."
"Don't worry. In the imperial palace, no one can do anything to me. I still have some trusted aides."
The Lin Concubine's eyes were filled with pleading as she spoke to Qin Shi, "I'll leave Yu 'er in your care."
"Mm."
Qin Shi took a deep breath. Even if the Lin Concubine didn't say anything, he would still do it.
After bidding farewell to the Lin Concubine, Qin Shi and Yu Luocha flew at top speed. They completely disregarded the rule that flying was forbidden in the imperial palace and flew towards the palace.
However, as soon as they entered the palace, they were stopped by dozens of orange-armored soldiers, "Who are you? How dare you offend the Scarlet Flame Supreme?"
Qin Shi scanned the soldiers coldly and said, "Hehe, didn't you say that today is the election day for the new Emperor? I am here to participate in the election."
Hearing this, the soldiers laughed mockingly, "What a joke. Only the rulers of the four regions, the relatives of the emperor, and the civil and military officials have the right to participate in the election. What right does a brat like you have to participate?"
Qin Shi frowned and said coldly, "Repeat what you just said."
"Huh?"
The soldier who spoke was surprised and said, "I said, what right does a brat like you have to participate?!"
Slap!
Qin Shi's shadow flashed and appeared in front of this person indifferently. A crisp slap resounded loudly as he said in a cold voice, "You beast that doesn't know how to speak human language. What I want to hear is not this sentence, but the previous sentences!"
"General!"
The soldiers were shocked and angry, "Scoundrel, how dare you cause trouble in our Scarlet Flame Territory. Men, take him down!"
"What a hindrance."
Qin Shi did not hold back in the slightest. The pressure of the Two Heavens Stage directly burst forth, spreading towards the surroundings with a destructive force.
Among the orange-armored soldiers, the strongest was at the First Heaven realm. Most of them were only at the Cryptic realm. How could they withstand Qin Shi's terrifying attack?
Bang!
Qin Shi narrowed his cold eyes. He raised his hand and clenched it at the surrounding empty space. The soldiers who had just charged forward were suddenly entangled by the golden lightning net. Immediately, the intense pressure caused their backs to bend and they involuntarily entered a submissive posture.
After taking control of this group of people, Qin Shi turned to the soldiers in front of him and said, "Repeat what you just said to me in full."
"Only the rulers of the four regions, the relatives of the emperor, and the civil and military officials have the right to participate in the election of the new king …" At this point, the soldier's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He didn't have the courage to repeat what he said a second time.
"Speak!" Qin Shi said.
"Speak, I'll speak, I'll speak. What right does a brat like you have to participate …!" Finishing, the soldier's body started to tremble and he looked at Qin Shi in fear.
"Yes, this is the complete version. Actually, you're right, I'm indeed a brat. But what if this brat in front of you happened to be the sect leader of the Qin Sect of the four regions?
Wouldn't I have the right to participate? "Qin Shi snorted mockingly.
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers all widened their eyes. Especially the one closest to Qin Shi, he directly shouted, "You, you're the sect leader of the Qin Sect?"
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders in a non-committal manner. The corner of his mouth revealed a strange evil smile. "Now, you have two paths to choose from. One is to bring me along to participate in the election of the new king. The other is to pay the price for scolding me just now. You should be clear about this price. Alright, choose."
"I, I'll bring you there, I'll bring you there right now."
The soldier was scared out of his wits. In the past few months, eight out of ten rumors in the empire revolved around the sect leader of the Qin Sect. Now that the sect leader of the Qin Sect was standing in front of him, how could he dare to lose his temper?
He hurriedly nodded his head. He didn't even care about the other soldiers in the surroundings as he leaped towards the imperial court.
The corners of Qin Shi's lips curled up in a confident manner. Only then did he and Yu Luocha catch up. He knew that there was a need for patience. Sometimes, senseless patience might not be effective. For example, in a situation like today, as the sect leader of the Qin Sect, as well as the youngest sect leader here, he had to display absolute dominance. Only then would he not be looked down upon by others.
After all, the people in the imperial court wouldn't be like these soldiers, bewitched by a few rumors.
In the imperial court, the situation was still the same as three days ago. Lin Yu, Hua Ling, and Ling Xiao were all alone. The three of them had anxious looks on their faces.
"The deadline of three days has already passed. Seems like the Qin Sect Leader won't be coming. The election of the new king has already been delayed for too long. No matter what, we can't delay it any longer. Let us proceed with it." Xiao Chong spoke complacently.
Since things had already come to this, there was no other way. Lin Yu could only nod his head in agreement. "Mhm, just as Empress Xiao Chong said, let the election of the new king begin."
However, he had just suffered a huge loss three days ago. Wu Yu evidently didn't want to give up on the chance to mock Qin Shi just like that. He coldly said, "Hehe, what Qin Sect Leader? He's a man of his word. I think that's all there is to it. He probably hasn't seen such a grand scene before and is so scared that he doesn't have the guts to come, right?"
The moment these words were spoken, Ling Xiao's expression immediately turned ugly. This Wu Yu actually criticized Qin Shi in front of so many people. This was undoubtedly a slap to the face of their Qin Sect.
However, before he could say anything, Hua Ling interrupted, "What? I let you live three days ago, and now you feel that your life is great?
Do you want to jump out and court death? "
"You …!" The moment Hua Ling spoke, Wu Yu was instantly deflated.
"Hehe, who was the one who said that I haven't seen such a grand scene before and was so scared that I don't have the guts to come?"
And at this moment, a loud laughter resounded in the imperial court. A black shadow and a graceful figure leaped into the imperial court.
The moment the two of them appeared, Lin Yu was overjoyed. "Shi?"
"Qin Shi?"
Many people present had some impression of Qin Shi. Seeing the appearance of the black-robed youth, everyone revealed a cold expression.
