Chapter 137.1
The days they spent together had made her develop a great fondness for Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifans handsome and dashing appearance, Lin Beifans humorous and witty charm, Lin Beifans deep affection, and Lin Beifans occasional naughtiness always stirred her heart, making her life especially fun and fulfilling.
Sometimes she couldnt help but think, why not just stay?
After all, she would have to marry someone sooner or later. Rather than marrying someone she didnt like, she might as well marry Lin Beifan.
At least this guy
Well, hes not unlikeable!
But after all, she is betrothed before.
The Ninth Prince has already gone back to annul the engagement and has informed them of the circumstances. Thats why her father is very angry and has ordered them to return and accept punishment.
So, even if its hard to leave, they must go back.
Otherwise, the consequences will be even more severe if her father gets even angrier.
In the end, the personal maid came to the imperial palace and bid farewell to Lin Beifan.
Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has gone back to annul his engagement, and the master is very angry, urging the young lady to return! As her personal maid, I must also rush back!
Lin Beifan was very reluctant: Cant you stay? The Grandmaster called for your young lady, not you!
The personal maid found this very amusing and somewhat proud.
His Majesty still doesnt know her true identity, thinking shes just a minor maid
If he knew her true identity, would he be shocked?
Haha!
Just thinking about it fills her with anticipation.
Your Majesty, this time I must return with the young lady to bring closure. There will be plenty of time for us in the future, as we will have many days to spend together! the personal maid said gently.
Indeed, closure was necessary.
She intended to end this engagement cleanly so she could stand before Lin Beifan with dignity and pride.
Lin Beifan nodded, Very well! Since thats the case, I wont keep you any longer. Go and return safely, and take care on your journey!
Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself as well! During my absence, you must look after yourself. Im off! The personal maid waved her hand lightly.
Lin Beifan called out, Be safe!
After taking a few steps forward, the personal maid turned her head back, with an indescribable tenderness in her eyes, and asked expectantly, Your Majesty will you miss me when Im gone?
Lin Beifan stepped forward a few paces, coming right in front of the personal maid and looking down at her from above.
The personal maid was somewhat bewildered: Your Majesty, what are you going to do?
Love is hard to express in words, so I shall show it through my actions! Lin Beifan opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
The personal maid was first shocked, then a smile appeared on her face, but she pouted her lips.
His Majesty really never changes. Even at this time, he still doesnt forget to take advantage of someone!
Such a flirtatious playboy!
Fine, let him hug me then. Its not the first or second time anyway!
Her little head gently rested against Lin Beifans chest, and she even sneakily stretched out her arms, softly embracing Lin Beifans waist.
Great Xia Emperor, as fellow great kingdoms, I implore you to lend your aid. In doing so, you can gain friendship with our Great Xue Kingdom! Otherwise, our sovereign might personally come to retrieve it! said the Great Xue envoy.
Lin Beifan narrowed his eyes: Are you threatening me?
Its not a threat, merely stating a fact!
The envoy from Great Xue said proudly: Our Great Xue is an old and established great kingdom, with a territory spanning over 3 million square miles, a population of more than 20 million, a military force of 3 million, among which there are 20 Innate masters. Our comprehensive national power is far stronger than that of Great Xia! Although we are not a dynasty, we are no less formidable than one, and our might intimidates the neighboring countries!
Our sovereign has cultivated to the pinnacle of Imperial Qi and has even taken half a step beyond, becoming a half-step Grandmaster! He also possesses many fortuitous divine techniques, making his strength incredibly formidable! While not a Grandmaster, he is not far from it!
We have come here to borrow the drum with sincerity, hoping that Great Xia can lend its support! Otherwise, I, a humble servant, am easy to speak with, but our sovereign is not so accommodating!
Lin Beifan shouted loudly: Bai Zhu, help me slay this man!
Yes, Your Majesty! Bai Zhus figure appeared, and then she swiftly thrust her sword towards the envoy from Great Xue.
The envoy from Great Xue, who possessed some martial arts skills, managed to dodge in a moment of desperation and said in a panic, When nations are at war, envoys are not to be harmed! Great Xia Emperor, are you seeking to make an enemy of Great Xue?
Kill him! Lin Beifan commanded.
Bai Zhu appeared once again, her sword aura even sharper, and finally executed the Great Xue envoy.
After the deed was done, Bai Zhu was somewhat puzzled, Your Majesty, why
Lin Beifan sneered and said, This envoy was a scion of a noble family and bore a grudge against me! Just now, he was trying to provoke me, to incite a war between me and Great Xue, so I simply granted his wish!
But in doing so, wont we truly offend the Great Xue Kingdom
If weve offended them, so be it. Would I, the Emperor, be afraid? Lin Beifan declared proudly.
Bai Zhu thought of the current strength of Great Xia; its territorial area had reached 1.5 million square miles, the population had surpassed 15 million, the military force had reached 1.2 million, and there were also more than a dozen innate masters.
Among them was the Sword Elder at the peak of the Imperial Qi realm, wielding the Xuanxiao Divine Sword, capable of contending with a Grandmaster for several rounds!
Although Great Xias comprehensive national power was still inferior to that of Great Xue, it seemed there was no longer a need to fear!
Besides, that Great Xue is your enemy, Bai Zhu! Youve helped me with my affairs, and I have promised to help you annihilate Great Xue. How could I break my word? Lin Beifan said with a smile.
Bai Zhus delicate body trembled; he had always remembered!
After a moment of silence, she said, Thank you, Your Majesty! However, my vengeance is not urgent. Great Xia is not yet a match for Great Xue. Lets wait a few more years for Great Xia to grow stronger before we make our move!
She had witnessed with her own eyes how Great Xia had developed from a small kingdom into a super great kingdom in less than two years, so she was full of confidence in Great Xia and was in no hurry to take revenge.
Wait until Great Xia has developed for another two years, when its strength is even greater, and then we can annihilate Great Xue in one fell swoop to avenge my grudges!
That sounds good! But dont you want to collect some interest first?
What? Bai Zhu was shocked.
Lin Beifan smiled and said, Although now is not the best time for revenge, I have a way to make Great Xue suffer a little loss! Now I ask you, do you want to collect some interest first?
Bai Zhu fell silent again.
After a moment, she said, I want to!
