Chapter 116 Heirs
Chapter 116 Heirs
Ye Tian looked at Si Lili, who was fawning over him, and then glanced at Haitang Duoduo, who was standing next to him, dumbfounded and whose worldview had been shattered. A wicked smile full of control appeared on his face.
He reached out and gently pinched Si Lili's delicate chin, his voice tinged with mockery: "Heh, Si Lili, I have indeed seen your 'loyalty' and 'sisterly affection.' Very well, considering your 'sincerity,' I can spare her life for now."
His gaze immediately shifted, shooting towards Haitang Duoduo like two sharp swords, his tone filled with undeniable domineering authority: "As for you, Haitang Duoduo,"
Ye Tian slowly rose, walked to her, looked down at her, and said, word by word, "Do you think you still have a choice? I might as well tell you, not only you, not only Si Lili, but even your Northern Qi's little emperor Zhan Doudou, who likes to wear dragon robes and disguise herself as a man, will sooner or later belong to me! No one can escape my grasp!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was like the heaviest hammer, striking Haitang Duoduo's heart hard!
He actually knew that Zhan Doudou was a woman, the biggest secret of Northern Qi!
Haitang Duoduo felt her head go blank with a "buzz"! Looking at the boy who looked down at her like a god or demon, and listening to his arrogant yet seemingly self-righteous declaration, an unprecedented fear and a strange, uncontrollable tremor surged into her heart at the same time.
Her cheeks, overwhelmed by extreme shock and shame, turned uncontrollably bright red!
······················
Haitang Duoduo and Silili were completely stunned by Ye Tian's words, "Your Northern Qi's little emperor Zhan Doudou, who is disguised as a man, will be mine sooner or later!"
Especially Haitang Duoduo, she was struck dumb as if by a bolt of lightning, her mind completely blank. The secret that Her Majesty is a woman is the highest secret of Northern Qi, even more important than many military and national affairs. Only a handful of people know it, and each one is a confidant among confidants! Ye Tian, how could he possibly know?!
"You, you, nonsense! Our Emperor is a dignified man, a true dragon emperor! How dare you slander him like this!" Si Lili was the first to react. Although she was also shocked by Ye Tian's words, her instinct to protect her Emperor made her immediately retort. However, the trembling in her voice revealed the turmoil in her heart.
Haitang Duoduo also snapped out of her daze, staring intently at Ye Tian, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief: "Ye Tian! Stop spreading such nonsense! Where did you hear such absurd rumors?!"
Looking at their expressions of shock, anger, and barely concealed panic, Ye Tian smiled mockingly. "Heh heh, in this vast world, there aren't many things that can escape my notice. My two beauties, there's no need to be so nervous. I have no interest in your Northern Qi throne for the time being."
He changed the subject, his tone becoming playful and enigmatic: "I simply think Zhan Doudou is a very interesting woman, and also a very ambitious and decisive one. I know a little about what she wants to do. Perhaps, in the future, I can even lend her a hand and help her achieve her goals?"
His words were cryptic, yet seemed to carry a deeper meaning, making Haitang Duoduo and Si Lili's hearts leap into their throats. They had absolutely no idea how much Ye Tian knew, nor could they fathom the true intention behind his words. This feeling of being completely seen through, of their fate seemingly controlled by someone else, filled them with an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and fear.
"You only need to remember," Ye Tian slowly stood up, walked to the two women, and glanced at them with his deep eyes, his tone carrying an undeniable domineering air, "From this day forward, your lives and your loyalty belong only to me. As for your little emperor, hehe, I am also 'very interested' in her."
After saying that, he ignored the two stunning beauties who were already under his control and whose minds were in turmoil, and walked straight out of the command tent.
.
The news, like a winged crow, flew swiftly across mountains and rivers, reaching the capital of Northern Qi.
When Zhan Doudou learned from the spy that her most trusted junior sister and bodyguard, Haitang Duoduo, had not only failed to assassinate Ye Tian but had also been captured alive, and that Ye Tian had killed Shangshan Hu with a single sword strike like a god descending to earth, and that he had 100,000 heavenly soldiers (the Great Snow Dragon Riders) under his command, her pretty face, which usually carried the composure and majesty of a young emperor, lost all color for the first time!
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster Ye Tian, he, he's actually a Grandmaster?!" Zhan Doudou slumped onto the dragon throne, utterly distraught, muttering to herself, her eyes filled with unbelievable horror.
Although she had heard of Ye Tian's various "feats" in the capital of Qing Kingdom before, and even admired his amazing literary talent, those news were still a bit distant and not as shocking as today's news, which directly concerned the life and death of Northern Qi!
A Grandmaster at the age of fourteen! And he possesses such an elusive and incredibly powerful mysterious army! What kind of monster has emerged from the Qing Kingdom?!
An unprecedented fear gripped her heart.
But then, when she picked up Ye Tian's lifelike portrait again, as well as the poems and manuscripts that she had already annotated, the fear in her eyes was gradually replaced by a more ardent, more frenzied obsession!
"Ye Tian, Ye Tian," she murmured the name softly, her voice filled with a dreamlike ecstasy, "How could there be such a perfect man in this world? His martial arts are unparalleled, enough to conquer the world; his literary talent is astounding, enough to leave a lasting legacy; his wisdom is unmatched, even my greatest secret cannot be hidden from him. Such a man, such a man..."
Her breathing gradually quickened, and two unnatural blushes rose on her fair cheeks. She felt that Ye Tian was like the most dazzling flame, making her, the "lone queen" who alone supported a country in the darkness, involuntarily want to get closer, to be devoured by him, and to become one with him!
Her idea of "borrowing a seed to have a child, continue the royal bloodline, and stabilize the Northern Qi dynasty" became clearer and more insane at this moment!
This is no longer merely a political consideration for the sake of national interests.
It was at this very moment.
It also contained her most primal and intense desire and worship as a woman for a man who was so perfect as to be almost a god!
"If I could, if I could bear him a child, that child would surely be the hope for the future of Northern Qi! He would be the continuation of my life! He would be the closest connection between me and him!" Zhan Doudou's eyes gleamed with an almost obsessive light.
She even had a thought that shocked and terrified her!
If Ye Tian really conquers the capital of Northern Qi, then wouldn't she be able to, as a "descended monarch" or a "trophy of war," submit herself to him and thus fulfill her crazy wish?
