Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 987 - 410: "Maybe I Should Make You My Empress~"_3

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xinghe's lips twitched, and he slammed the table: "Li Xuanzhen, you've cost me four million troops, and you still have the face to say such things?"

"I simply wished for Your Majesty to win." Li Xuanzhen said slowly, "As long as the Dragon Soul Treasure is in hand, Your Majesty will have no more worries, and Prince Ning already has some clues about it."

"Him?" Dongfang Xinghe frowned, "He's been looking all this time?"

"Yes, and..." Li Xuanzhen's lips curved with a smile, "It's even under the Divine Envoy's oracle!"

"Hmm?" Dongfang Xinghe's expression changed slightly. The Divine Envoy did not see him, the Emperor, yet gave Prince Ning an oracle—what could this mean?

Does it mean to replace him with Prince Ning?

At this thought, Dongfang Xinghe's expression grew even darker: "Has the Divine Envoy contacted you?"

"No." Li Xuanzhen laughed dryly, as someone from Hidden Life Mountain, it would be strange for someone from Sun Suspended Mountain to reach out to him.

Moreover, it seems Sun Suspended Mountain has long known he's a traitor, just without revealing it.

But... why haven't they exposed him yet?

Li Xuanzhen didn't think further and continued, "The only thing Your Majesty needs to do now is to gain control over the Dragon Energy of the Northern royal family to contend with King Qin.

During this time, I will assist Your Majesty in succeeding. Once the matter is accomplished, the Dragon Soul Treasure will be yours, and even the Divine Envoy will be powerless against you."

"Truly?"

"If Your Majesty does not believe, you may seek verification from Emperor Yuanhua." Li Xuanzhen smiled faintly, "The Dragon Qi of Jiuli and Shenmiao has already gathered with the Emperor; only Your Majesty is missing!"

After a moment of contemplation, Dongfang Xinghe slightly nodded, "I'll trust you once more."

Li Xuanzhen nodded, "I will personally bring the remaining royal family members to Shengjing, Your Majesty can await the good news."

With that, he turned and left.

Dongfang Xinghe slowly sat down, his expression uncertain: "If there's another loss, I've got nothing left..."

Central Capital City.

Prince Ning, Dongfang Zhen, knelt among Shenmiao, not daring to look up at the figure standing atop the statue, wearing a sinister white mask.

"You have only two tasks: first, figure out the location of the Land of Prosperity within a month; second, serve Dongfang Xinghe as the orthodox ruler and offer up the Dragon Qi."

"I obey the Divine Envoy's command."

"Consume this pill." The masked figure flicked a finger: "You will be the strongest in the Eastern Dynasty."

"Thank you for the Divine Envoy's gift."

"Begone."

Once Shenmiao was devoid of others, the masked figure performed hand signs, and the Incense Fire Will Power within Shenmiao condensed into a thick mist in front, swaying gently.

"Soon... we'll meet soon, my good brother..."

Longjiang South Bank, West Entrance Dam.

On the hill, Lu Jin'an and Dongfang Xinglan stood side by side, watching the flood that swallowed everything. Zhiyu squatted on the ground, holding the tail of the Little White Fox, looking at the scene below the mountain in amazement: "Wow~"

"Time for the next step in the plan." Lu Jin'an chuckled lightly, turning his head to look at Dongfang Xinglan.

Dongfang Xinglan nodded gently, suddenly asking, "What if some still believe in the Old Gods?"

"There will be now, and even after you ascend the throne." Lu Jin'an said lightly, "If these people still cling to their ignorance after understanding the truth of the outside world, then kill them all!

The new Immortal Dynasty doesn't need relics of the past, right?"

"What if there are many such people?"

"I'll kill them for you."

"Would it affect your position as Saint Heir?" Dongfang Xinglan asked softly, "If it does..."

"No problem." Lu Jin'an raised his hand, "The leading traitor among the Jinyi Guard did the killing, what does it have to do with Wandao Sect Saint Heir, wouldn't you agree, Lord Qin?"

Dongfang Xinglan's eyes flashed with a smile, "How long do you plan to keep this identity?"

"Why?" Lu Jin'an looked at her, smiling but not smiling, "Your Highness hasn't ascended yet, and you're ready to discard the loyal dog?"

Dongfang Xinglan rolled her eyes at him, "This king simply wants to promote you."

"A Side-by-Side King?"

"Keep dreaming!" Dongfang Xinglan snorted softly, "However, I might consider appointing you as 'Empress,' how about it?"

"It's alright."

"Hmph~" Dongfang Xinglan held his hand, "Let me ask you a question, I won't get pregnant, will I?"

"Do you want to?" Lu Jin'an asked with a smile.

Dongfang Xinglan's eyes flickered, "Not now."

"Then rest assured." Lu Jin'an said calmly, "Your Realm isn't sufficient, so you can't conceive at the moment."

"I see..." Dongfang Xinglan nodded, then looked towards the endless Longjiang, "The dam breach likely caught Bai Yuhu off guard too, so I plan to cross the river and head north three days from now."

Lu Jin'an nodded, "Everything arranged?"

"Almost." Dongfang Xinglan said with confidence, "The court has lost four million troops, I've already spread the news. The northern aristocrats must be panicking now, and their army won't be very effective. Before Beijing can negotiate with me, I'll cross the Longjiang's natural defense."

"Yet the Longjiang Defense Line is hard to traverse." Lu Jin'an extended a hand to feel the fierce wind, "Especially since the wind direction is unfavorable to you during this period."

"Do you remember what you promised me before?" Dongfang Xinglan turned, her gaze soft upon Lu Jin'an.

Lu Jin'an smiled, "Let's hear it."

"Working under me."

"That... Of course, I remember."

Lu Jin'an released Dongfang Xinglan's hand, turned and bowed to her, smilingly said, "Then let this humble one make a preemptive achievement for Your Highness, shall I?"

Dongfang Xinglan joyfully took hold of Lu Jin'an's hand, speaking softly.

"Excellent~"
