The Dragon, lifting his eyes and looking at Chen Mo for a moment, sighed slightly and said with a hint of guilt, "Chen Mo, this time I've added quite a bit of trouble for you again."
Since three hundred years ago, it seems as though Chen Mo has always been assisting her, always by her side. Without him, the Tianlong Empire would not only be in ruins but might even face annihilation...
Chen Mo lightly waved his hand, ready to say that it was an easy task, and he wanted to ask Long Fei Wu for a little something in return. However, before he could say anything, Long Fei Wu had already spoken up.
"Having gone through this disaster, I also realize that this empire cannot be supported solely by myself; it requires the strength of everyone…"
"You have a good idea, Pei Jiangnan. Tian Ji and you are the two titans of the empire; you should rely more on their strength."
Long Fei Wu furrowed his brow slightly, staring at Chen Mo intently. Could he not understand my meaning?
Chen Mo hadn't heard much, but Liu Wu Xin, who had been paying close attention to him, had picked up on it. The woman wanted her brother to stay and help her?
Good, I thought she was some good person, but it turns out she has ulterior motives as well... Liu Wu Xin thought to herself, subtly withdrawing her earlier praise and adding a hint of hostility to her gaze.
Fu Bei nodded slightly, and he had also picked up on the meaning behind Long Fei Wu's words. Chen Mo was so capable, naturally, everyone would want to keep him around. As the female emperor of this empire, she wanted a trusted advisor like him was only natural.
From certain perspectives, Fu Bei actually hoped that Chen Mo would stay in the Tianlong Empire. After all, his benefactor, the sect, was also based here. If Chen Mo stayed, he could take care of him more conveniently.
"However, Pei Jiangnan and others are outsiders after all. One cannot completely trust outsiders. I still lack someone I can fully trust."
Long Fei Wu looked resolute, and then, after pondering for a moment, a slight blush appeared on her fair face. "Moreover, having gone through this incident, I've also discovered an important issue. Since the treason of the Three Kings three hundred years ago, my Dragon family's collateral line has been severed, and my bloodline is left with only me. If I were to perish, the imperial throne of Tianlong would be without an heir."
"Chen Mo, do you think I should do something?"
"Pu"
Long Fei Wu's words had just fallen, and Fu Bei, who had been previously composed, was now anything but. The mouthful of water he had just drunk was spat out.
What kind of words are those? I can't hear that kind of thing, can I? Shouldn't I be leaving...
Little Bean Bitches sneered at Long Fei Wu, still immersed in her anger over being switched seats at the moment.
But Liu Wu Xin felt an immense threat. She thought that removing one little bimbo would solve everything, but she never imagined that a higher-ranked one would come.
Asking for a child right from the start...
Liu Wu Xin clenched her fists, filled with anger. She tried to suppress the urge to smash the table, but seeing Chen Mo still there, she forced herself to be more ladylike. Also, this was their first meeting in three hundred years. She couldn't leave a bad impression on her brother.
Endure...
"Big Brother Ao Tian, have you found anyone special?"
Chen Mo furrowed his brow slightly. Although he had been interacting with Long Fei Wu for a short time, he had treated her like a good brother. Upon hearing that she wanted an heir, he subconsciously thought she was just going to pick someone random to be her successor.
Long Fei Wu, the female emperor of Tianlong, is a supreme figure in the empire, under whom stands a million others. Finding a queen for her would be child's play. All she has to do is open her mouth, and the suitors would line up from Qing to Yin states.
Only Chen Mo seemed to treat her as if she were air at this moment.
Long Fei Wu smiled but didn't say anything. Her eyes, however, were filled with an affectionate gaze that seemed to pull him in.
Chen Mo was slightly startled, looking at Long Fei Wu and then at himself.
Then he looked at Long Fei Wu again, and then at himself. With a look of disbelief, he extended his right index finger and pointed at himself, hesitatingly saying, "If I've said something wrong, please be direct and don't misunderstand. You... you don't... mean... me, right..."
Long Fei Wu pursed her lips and nodded seriously.
Chen Mo's eyes bulged wide open, and his face was filled with shock. Bisexual... No, Ao Tian is a woman...
My goodness, I've been treating you as a brother, and you actually want to sleep with me?
"I... I'm also thinking about the future of the empire. I know you're in a difficult situation, but you don't have to worry too much. You can take your time and consider it thoroughly before giving me an answer."
Long Fei Wu stood up awkwardly, feeling embarrassed. She feared Chen Mo's rejection and therefore didn't give him the chance to immediately refuse. She turned around and left in a hurry.
She said it was to give Chen Mo time to consider, but in reality, it was more about giving herself time to calm down.
Little Bean Bitches finally understood that Long Fei Wu was trying to steal her brother. She immediately said angrily, "I refuse to agree to this."
The word 'agree' had just been said when she was pulled away by Long Fei Wu and dragged into her own tent.
Chen Mo stood dumbfounded, watching the direction where Long Fei Wu had left. He then looked at Liu Wu Xin and asked, "Heartless, how should I respond to her?"
Liu Wu Xin took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger. "Brother, just respond as you feel. I will unconditionally support you...".
After saying that, Liu Wu Xin turned her head and spat, "Bitch, you wait. I'll show you who's boss."
Feeling like he was redundant, Fu Ber noticed that the atmosphere was off. He forced a smile on his face, stepped back slightly stealthily, and quickly excused himself with a pretext of feeling unwell, hurrying back to his own tent.
"Heartless, today you've worked hard. It's late at night, so just go rest in your tent."
Chen Mo pinched his temples, turned to look at Liu Wu Xin and spoke.
"Um."
Liu Wu Xin nodded slightly, looked at Chen Mo, then turned to look at their own tent and her own. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing the latter's worried expression, she ultimately closed her mouth and stood up to walk towards her own tent.
The flickering campfire illuminated Chen Mo's lonely figure. The brief excitement faded, and he looked at Liu Wu Xin's departing back, getting up and returning to his own tent, lying comfortably down.
After a busy day, with a lot of energy and vitality consumed, and quite a bit of effort expended, Chen Mo was also feeling tired.
However, Guo Tianyi's situation also made him feel that he must make plans in advance. From today, they had effectively become enemies with Tian Shifu, and this colossal institution that has stood for over ten thousand years on the continent of Jiuzhou would not be easily defeated.
Moreover, Tian Shifu has the authority to command the entire world, which is far beyond the reach of Long Fei Wu's Tianlong Empire or Liu Wu Xin's Demon Cult.
"Tian Shifu..."
Chen Mo muttered to himself, suddenly remembering Long Fei Wu's words. He felt a headache coming on.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let the troubles wait until tomorrow..."
