Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 390: Free Riding Is the True Way!

There are nine Emperors, dominating the world!

This sentence echoed endlessly in Chen Lan’s heart, it shook him.

A million years ago, there were actually nine revered Emperors, who with a mere gesture could command countless devoted followers to willingly sacrifice their lives.

Such a grand feat, how awe-inspiring it would be to witness it firsthand.

Is it possible that his first life was also once an Emperor, who could casually command others to die with just a word?

Knowing such an identity existed, Chen Lan didn’t feel particularly powerful or delighted; instead, he felt a heavy burden suddenly descend. If he were truly such an important person, how could he face those from the Demon Race if he regained his physical form in the future?

They had always been waiting for the return of the Demon Emperor.

"If what that demon person just said was correct, Lord Ye, you are probably the Demon Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors, though I have never heard of this name, maybe it’s too low-key," Li Chunqiu said.

Chen Lan remained silent, and the two returned to the inn just like that.

"Where have you guys been?" Xiao Die rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room, looking at the two.

"Nothing much, just went out for a walk," Chen Lan replied with a faint smile. For some reason, he felt a fondness for this young girl in front of him.

"I’m hungry, when are we eating?" Xiao Die asked.

"Oh, I forgot you need to eat," Li Chunqiu suddenly slapped his forehead. Xiao Die didn’t have a cultivation realm, so she couldn’t fast and needed to eat daily like ordinary people. He usually cooked for her or took her to eat at the inn, but today he forgot.

"It’s okay, this is an inn, let them bring the food," Chen Lan smiled, looking at Xiao Die. "Come to my room, I have something to ask you."

That smile had a hint of tricking a child, but Xiao Die wasn’t scared; instead, she smiled joyfully and followed Chen Lan into the room.

...

Inside the room, Chen Lan removed his disguise, revealing his true face, and looked at Xiao Die. "I know you recognize me, but which Ye Lan do you know?"

He knew that his first life was also called Ye Lan.

"Brother Ye!" Xiao Die exclaimed with joy upon seeing Chen Lan’s true face, her voice extremely sweet, softening his heart.

"I don’t know; I just know you asked me to keep the Divine Sword and next time we meet, you’d marry me," Xiao Die said, startling Chen Lan.

Damn, was his first life that bold, to entrust a beautiful girl with a sword for so many years, and their love remains undying even after so long, with the girl still wanting to marry him.

"But I’m no longer the Ye Lan I used to be; do you still want to marry me?" Chen Lan asked in confusion.

"You’ve always been you, never changed, just lost your memory. Wait until you find your memories, then marry me," Xiao Die said with a smile.

Chen Lan remained silent; he didn’t have romantic feelings for the girl, treating her more like a sister. Perhaps his first life liked her.

Marrying someone you don’t love is harming the girl; if you don’t like her, why marry?

Before marriage, feelings are most important. If either party doesn’t like you, married life won’t be happy, so better to like each other before marrying.

"Besides that, do you know anything else about me?"

"Demon Emperor, they all say you are the Demon Emperor, a heinous demon, but I don’t think so. I think you’re kind; otherwise, you wouldn’t help me escape from there and give me freedom," Xiao Die said with a smile.

"Where?"

Hearing this, Xiao Die’s smile gradually froze, and Chen Lan noticed something was wrong and quickly said, "If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t."

"Sorry, I forgot. I don’t want to remember those memories, so I asked Brother Ye to seal them," Xiao Die apologized with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen Lan felt compassion. How unfortunate this girl was, clearly it was him who asked an inappropriate question, yet she apologized first.

"It’s okay; if you don’t want to talk, don’t. Painful memories should be forgotten," Chen Lan instinctively patted Xiao Die’s head with a smile.

"So comfortable; Brother Ye often patted my head like this before, and I really like it," Xiao Die laughed and closed her eyes, enjoying it like a kitten.

Chen Lan paused slightly, then smiled and continued patting her head. This girl’s background must not be simple, probably extremely tragic; otherwise, she wouldn’t choose to seal her memories. Best not to bring up her sorrows.

After a while, the inn delivered the food. Li Chunqiu brought it in, and Xiao Die, already very hungry, immediately began to feast, while Chen Lan and Li Chunqiu quietly watched from the side.

"No matter what, Xiao Die can’t cultivate?" Chen Lan secretly transmitted to Li Chunqiu.

"Yes, I’ve tried numerous methods but couldn’t get her to cultivate. Her physique isn’t something I can perceive; it’s not like a human, more like a demon," Li Chunqiu replied.

Chen Lan was slightly shocked to hear that. Not human, but a demon?!

He looked at Xiao Die, never expecting such an adorable girl to be a demon that had survived for millions of years!

However, he didn’t bear much malice against demons and was not racially biased. If the demon race discriminated against him, he’d fight back.

"If Lord Ye could help her, I’d be deeply grateful," Li Chunqiu said.

Chen Lan slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and nodded subtly, "I will."

If he could help this girl, he was willing to do so.

...

The next day.

The three of them continued their journey. Not long after leaving the inn, Chen Lan paused slightly because he saw someone familiar.

"Dare to dine and dash, and at a brothel no less, you’re asking to die!"

"Damn, don’t hit the face; I make a living with my face."

"Don’t spare the face; hit him, hit his face hard!"

Not far away, four or five people were ganging up on a rather handsome young man, who happened to be Ling Wuzi, someone Chen Lan knew. Unexpectedly, they met him here, and in such an awkward situation too.

But Chen Lan wasn’t familiar with him and had no intention of interfering, so he proceeded forward.

"Brother, big brother, save me!" During the beating, Ling Wuzi spotted Chen Lan and immediately called for help.

This person was indeed powerful, and if he’d intervene, Ling Wuzi would undoubtedly be saved.

"Kid, are you his accomplice?!" The people ganging up on him looked up at Chen Lan upon hearing Ling Wuzi’s words.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan was speechless, looking at Ling Wuzi on the ground, unharmed, he immediately understood that the other party was intentionally getting beaten. Clearly a Daoist Venerable himself, while these people were merely Great Emperors, was it necessary to pretend to be so helpless?

"I’m not very familiar with him," Chen Lan said plainly, releasing his aura as a Taoist Saint.

Upon noticing this, the Great Emperors chickened out, repeatedly apologizing and retreating until they returned to the brothel.

"Thanks, big brother, for saving me," Ling Wuzi stood up with a smile.

"You’re a Daoist Venerable, yet you don’t have enough money to visit a brothel?" Chen Lan said, speechless. "Dining and dashing at a brothel, really?"

"Getting freebies is true wisdom!"
