Arthur embraced the Queen affectionately, and they tumbled onto the bed side-by-side.
From within the barrier, Tie Lao Si listened to the Queen’s passionate singing and Arthur’s cheers.
He wore an expression of utter disgust:
“Damn it, I came here to gather intel, not to eavesdrop. Besides, there’s almost a 300-year age gap between you two. What kind of passion makes you two so engrossed?”
Just as Arthur and the Queen were in the throes of passion, a king-level pressure descended upon the royal palace.
Arthur jolted up: “Holy crap, Old Lancelot succeeded in his advancement.”
Sensing the Queen’s resentful gaze, Arthur added, “But couldn’t you pick a better time? You scared the life out of me.”
He then said to the Queen, “Old Lancelot has advanced, I need to go see him quickly. You rest first.”
Saying this, and ignoring the Queen’s displeasure, he vanished from the room with a teleport.
The miniaturized Tie Lao Si watched Arthur disappear, then silently waved his hand, withdrawing the barrier. He teleported back to Da Yu’s side.
Upon returning to the Huaxia encampment, Tie Lao Si transformed into a panda about two meters tall and said to Da Yu, “Brother Yu, gather everyone quickly. This time, I’m going to make a big move.”
Before long, Yu Long Yan, the Black Dragon Emperor brothers, Shang Tang, Wu Ding, Di Xin, and Orochi… now renamed Xiao Xiang Liu, all arrived in Da Yu’s room.
Seeing that everyone was present, Tie Lao Si said to Da Yu, “Brother Yu, seal the space.”
As Da Yu produced the Nine Provinces Cauldron, Tie Lao Si took out a crystal for storing images and began playing all the scenes and conversations from when Arthur entered the room.
Whether it was the shocking content or the Queen’s beautiful singing, all the old rogues watched until the very end.
Xiao Xiang Liu licked his lips and said, “Fourth Master Tie, we couldn’t see clearly just now. Can we play it again?”
Tie Lao Si looked at their green-eyed gazes and said, “Damn it, can’t you guys handle it? This is serious business, serious!”
Shang Tang nodded and said, “Alright, let’s start with the main issue. Besides, what have we people not seen before? Arthur’s physique is far inferior to mine. Everyone, let’s first discuss your views on these secret realms.”
Xiao Xiang Liu chimed in, nodding in agreement, “Emperor Tang is right. But these secret realms are really something, aren’t they.”
Sensing their gazes, Xiao Xiang Liu said sheepishly, “You can’t blame me. I’ve been in the Land of the Rising Sun for too long, I’ve been contaminated.”
Yu Long Yan’s eyes darted, and a mischievous idea surfaced. He grinned at everyone and said:
“What should we do? Of course, we’ll take what’s offered. Didn’t Arthur say he’d give the four great secret realms to our Huaxia? Then we’ll reluctantly accept them.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they nodded in unison, “Ancestor Yan is right. Arthur is still too young and easily overwhelmed. We old ancestors need to take charge ourselves.”
Di Xin looked troubled and said, “But how should we act? If we make a move, and it gets out, it will be seen as bullying the weak, and that’s not a good reputation.”
“Hmm, that’s true. If this reputation spreads, who will dare to follow Huaxia in the future?” everyone agreed.
Da Yu chuckled and said to them:
“This is easy. If we elders can’t do it, why not find a junior? Professional matters require professional people. Who is better at blackmail, kidnapping, and dealing with suckers than Zhan’er? Zhan’er will definitely have a way to make them obediently hand over their things, and even thank us for it.”
“As for those who don’t comply, let that kid Li Bai handle them. Kill them all, and then set a fire. We’ll say Li Bai did it because he was drunk. Anyway, since Zhan’er has already been made the top gangster of the mother star, he can’t have a good reputation anymore. We can consider it a contribution to Huaxia.” Su Dan Novel Network
Shang Tang glared and said to Da Yu in annoyance:
“What are you saying, you disreputable old man? Our Zhan’er is a good child, how can he do bad things? Everything he does is to help others solve their troubles.”
Tie Lao Si looked at them and then said with admiration:
“This explanation is absolutely brilliant. I’ve seen shameless people, but never have I seen such shamelessness. At least when my ancestor sold out his big brother, he was sad for a few minutes. Unlike you people, who do things and still expect to be thanked.”
He then continued, “I’m not trying to dampen your enthusiasm. There’s still one secret realm survivor. Although I suspect it’s a contingency left by the Divine race, we don’t really know who they are. What should we do about this?”
Yu Long Yan thought for a moment and said:
“I think Fourth Brother is right. These guys should be a contingency left by the Divine race, waiting for us to be at war with the Ten Thousand Races before stabbing us in the back. Then their descendants would become the sole human race, and they could absorb our human race’s destiny through these descendants.”
Then Yu Long Yan turned to Tie Lao Si and said:
“Fourth, go back and tell your ancestor about these matters. Have him contact the Fourth Brother Xuanwu. Fourth Brother has been partying in the Divine race for over a decade, he should be able to observe some other information.”
“If it really is a contingency left by the Divine race, then we’ll contact Emperor Shun, use the teleportation channel, and send this secret realm into the Shan Hai Jing. Then, no matter how many contingencies the Divine race has, they will all become fertilizer for increasing our destiny.”
Da Yu and the others nodded in agreement, saying, “Although the outside world cannot bear the energy of the imperial throne, the Shan Hai Jing can. It alone has more than ten great human emperors, not to mention a large number of powerful beings at the emperor level.”
Shang Tang, for once, agreed with Da Yu’s opinion and said to everyone:
“That’s right, then it’s decided. We’ll act according to the plan. Tomorrow we’ll march as usual. Tie Lao Si will bring the Queen back to Huaxia, tell Zhan’er the plan, and leave the rest to Zhan’er.”
“This time, we’ll deal with the Blood race ruthlessly. It’s best to make the Ten Thousand Races send a stronger one to trouble Great Britain. As for helping Great Britain train kings, let’s hear it first. We’ll wait for Zhan’er’s notification. Anyway, we’ve already trained one, so we can report it. Then, let Zhan’er include this matter in the negotiation terms. The price can be higher.”
Yu Long Yan made the final decision.
Xiao Xiang Liu looked at these old rogues with envy. They were indeed professional-level old rogues. In just this short while, they had planned everything from how to seize others’ property to destroying the evidence, it was too professional.
