Even though the Emperor of Ming roared with a full-throated scream, it wouldn't change the fact that what lay before his eyes was the severed head of his youngest son.

Tears streamed down his face, indescribable and filled with anguish. For a parent, the happiness of their child is a sacred duty. Yet, sometimes parents choose the wrong path, leading only to misery and suffering.

"It's not just this," Wu Xiao Shi began coldly. "Your entire lineage and palace have been destroyed by my hands. The Ming Empire now has no name, no ruler, and will become easy prey for others who want to take it over. But perhaps no one will dare touch it—do you know why? Because I've left the mark of the Song Empire on it."

Wu Xiao Shi pulled a chair, sat down, and stared at the now pathetic Emperor of Ming.

"Just kill me now!" the Emperor shouted again, his voice a mix of rage and despair. But Wu Xiao Shi remained indifferent, smirking coldly.

"Your death is not mine to give," Wu Xiao Shi said firmly. "It i

    Ling knelt down, she handed him another ring that was given to him in payment for the designed clothes. But Song Hye immediately refused by saying, "we pay what we need and don't refuse what we want to pay!" After that, Song Hye and Wu Xiao Shi didn't pay attention to Ling anymore, they left while waving their hands.

    A beautiful night full of moans from two people tasting each other. Sweat drenched, dripping all over his body. Ugh! The sound of their bodies ended their journey in sailing the ark, their path had reached the peak of worldly pleasure... "Thank You!" Wu Xiao Shi said while kissing his wife's forehead, who immediately fell asleep because she was so tired. Because tonight they did it for a long and long duration. Fortunately, before they had husband and wife relations, Wu Xiao Shi had sealed the room, so that they couldn't hear from outside what they were doing. If it weren't for that, there would definitely be ears stuck to the walls, eyes peeking through the gaps... A week later. Wu Xiao Shi said goodbye to Song Yang by taking Song Hye to visit the place where the owner of the body was born. It was in the Ming empire. Ming Clan, even though its Clan name was the same as the name of the empire itself, there was no connection at all according to Ming Zan's memories. "You always be

    The sound of a heavy thud echoed as Uncle Jing knelt down. "Forgive me, Young Master. I promised the Great Madam not to reveal her true identity.""I'm no longer a child, Uncle. I can protect myself now. That's why I want to find her and ask why she left me!" Wu Xiao Shi's voice was resolute.Uncle Jing's heart was restless. The emotional burden that had kept his lips sealed for so long now weighed heavily on him. But keeping the secret any longer seemed cruel to Ming Zan, the boy he'd watched grow up. After all, every child has the right to know their mother, to recognize her face, and to learn where she is."She is in the upper realm. Her identity as a daughter of a great clan forced her to return. If she hadn't, this lower realm would have been destroyed by her clan. The reason your dantian was sealed was to prevent you from seeking her out. You possess the Heavenly Emperor's Physique, a power that would be seen as a threat. On the day you were born, the clouds roared and gathered,

    "Cultivation is divided into nine realms, and each realm is further divided into three stages. From the lowest to the highest, the levels are as follows:Black Realm, Fighter Realm, Energy Core Realm, Earth Realm, Earth King Realm, Sky Realm, Sky King Realm, Emperor Realm, and finally, the Sovereign Realm."****Uncle Jing brought out a small box and placed it on the table where Wu Xiao Shi was sitting with his wife."What’s inside, Uncle?" Wu Xiao Shi asked curiously."Inside is something your mother left behind. She entrusted it to me in case the seal on your dantian was ever removed, and you could cultivate like a normal person," Uncle Jing said, pushing the rectangular box toward Wu Xiao Shi.Song Hye remained silent, watching as her husband opened the box.Inside was a crystal that sparkled with the colors of the rainbow, dazzling and mesmerizing. All three pairs of eyes were captivated by its beauty—it was like a divine masterpiece.'That’s a Rainbow Crystal. It contains seven c

    Uncle Jing kept following Song Hye from behind, as he didn’t dare to walk beside or ahead of her. He answered every question the beautiful woman asked. As they exited a jewelry store, they were startled by the sudden arrival of several people blocking their path. Three masked individuals appeared and stood in Song Hye’s way. Furious, Uncle Jing stepped forward and shouted, “Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?” Uncle Jing felt a bad omen because these masked figures clearly meant trouble. “You don’t need to know who we are. All that matters is that our young master desires this beautiful woman!” one of them declared. The three attackers then charged at Uncle Jing. Though outnumbered, Uncle Jing was unafraid. He turned to Song Hye and said firmly, “Young Madam, go home first. Let me handle them.” “No, Uncle. I don’t know how many others are hiding, but I can sense pairs of eyes watching us,” Song Hye replied. Though the Ming Clan’s residence was only a thousand meters

    "Come out, all of you!" Wu Xiaoshi shouted. His voice echoed for a kilometer. Many people were startled when they heard the voice, then asked themselves who it was and what the motive was for shouting and asking people to come out. Some people stepped outside, curious to see what was happening, as disturbances in the Sacred Stone City were extremely rare. They followed the direction of the voice… Patriarch Chu Long, hiding in secret, trembled when the young Patriarch Ming Zan shouted loudly while carrying his wife. "I'll say it again. Come out, or else!" The young man held back the rest of his threat. He looked around and noticed many people approaching. However, these weren’t the ones he was referring to. Clearly, the people he wanted out didn’t dare reveal themselves — doing so would spell destruction for both their clan and themselves. It was a catch-22. Fight, and be destroyed. Don't fight, and still be destroyed. There was no good choice after deciding to kidnap someone’s wif

    Wu Xiaoshi narrowed his eyes, staring at a man who was neither too old nor could be considered young. He didn’t recognize the man, and this was their first encounter. Then why did this person want to kidnap his wife?‘If he knew who he was trying to take, he wouldn’t have dared. This guy must have no idea who I really am—or who my wife truly is. Otherwise, he’d be pissing himself.’ Wu Xiaoshi said inwardly."As the young master of the Feng Clan, I have the right to desire and obtain anything I want—whoever it may be! And as the future prince of the Ming Empire, I command you: leave your wife and disappear from this empire. Then you may live," Feng Hao declared arrogantly, looking down on Wu Xiaoshi. Everyone around them fell silent, not daring to comment.Only Wu Xiaoshi laughed at him. “You sure have guts, trying to claim this empire as your own. Did you ask me first? And you want to take my wife? Is it because of those two behind you? Or because your family has many powerful cultiva

    In a place so well hidden, surrounded by towering mountains, lay a region spanning a hundred square kilometers. Thick forests blanketed the land.A lone figure stood atop a tall tower — a watchtower, to be precise. His eyes caught sight of fireworks lighting up in a distant city. That city was known as the Sacred Stone City, where Young Master Feng was currently visiting to seek support.“This is bad… it seems Young Master Feng Hao is in danger!”The man on the tower immediately took flight, using his speed to maneuver sharply and descend perfectly.“Report to Patriarch Feng Dalo that Young Master Feng Hao is calling for aid!”The guard rushed into the residence of the Patriarch, who was at that moment in the middle of a discussion with several elders of the Feng Clan. They were making plans to seize what remained of the imperial palace and establish a new empire under their rule.Suddenly, a knock interrupted their meeting. Feng Dalo signaled for one of his men to open the door.The

    "Have you been here long?” Wu Xiaoshi’s voice was gentle, echoing softly right beside Song Hye’s right ear.She could sense his presence, his scent was familiar, but she remained still, her eyes fixed on the moon that shone brightly in the sky—it was a full moon.Seeing that his wife didn’t respond, Wu Xiaoshi lowered his chin to rest it on her shoulder, inhaling her scent before gently exhaling there.“Where have you been all day?” Song Hye asked. There was no anger in her tone, only calm neutrality.Such was the nature of a wife whose husband had gone out without a word and returned late at night.Wu Xiaoshi explained where he had gone and shared the experiences he had encountered, all while gently holding Song Hye’s hand and kissing its back.It wasn’t fear of his wife that drove him; rather, it was his deep respect for women.That night, they talked and shared laughter.

    Realizing that Tabib Wang had fled, Du Gong immediately dashed after him. There was no way he would let the man who poisoned his son get away. Even though they had been childhood friends, forgiveness was a luxury he couldn’t afford.“Wang! Stop right there!”Du Gong shouted. They were still within the estate’s courtyard, and since Du Gong’s residence didn’t have many exits, it was easy to chase after the fleeing physician.Tabib Wang glanced back briefly, then shot up into the air. But an attack followed close behind like a hunting hawk. He was struck and fell to the ground with a loud thud.“Aaakh!!” Tabib Wang screamed in pain.Du Gong rushed toward the man trying to get up. His face was filled with rage. Several guards from the Du Clan also approached, alarmed by the commotion.“Is there an intruder, Patriarch?” one of them asked. They hadn’t seen clearly who Du Gong was chasing.“No, just a traitor who’s lost his sense. I’ll handle this. Return to your posts!” Du Gong dismissed th

    Inside the room, an unusual silence fell. The sound of the wind blowing could be clearly heard, even a jumping mouse would have been noticeable.Physician Wang remained silent, his eyes fixed on the young man who was currently examining Du Bai’s body. For some reason, he felt uneasy—especially when the young man approached and touched Du Bai’s head."Does Master Wu also have knowledge in the field of medicine?" Patriarch Du asked, curiosity brimming in his chest. He watched as the young man checked his son's head and then took his hand to feel the pulse."You think too highly of him, Patriarch Du. Even someone like me, with years of experience, still needs thorough research to diagnose his condition. But this young pup, barely wet behind the ears—can he possibly surpass all the knowledge I’ve gained over decades? If he can, I’ll eat dung while running around the city!" Physician Wang scoffed, glancing at Patriarch Du and then at Wu Xiaoshi with a mocking look. "Go ahead and pretend yo

    "I already have part of the medicine, just waiting for two more items—one of them is the astragalus flower. Yet you oppose me—do you intend to mock this old man so I’m not seen as an equal to your grandfather’s generation?" Patriarch Du’s gaze grew sharper, exerting pressure on Shen Subing.Although the woman appeared calm, her heart was in turmoil. She never expected Patriarch Du to be this furious at being contradicted. In an auction, wealth should determine the winner, yet the patriarch ignored that rule and instead challenged the Haidong Pavilion.Patriarch Du no longer saw Shen Subing as a young woman who could be considered his granddaughter. He struck out with a Qi-powered punch, unleashing a force that surged rapidly.Baam! A loud crash echoed as the punch collided with a transparent, solid barrier.Patriarch Du was bewildered—what kind of shield could withstand his power? He had never heard of the Shen Clan owning such a strong artifact. It felt like punching a steel plate—on

    Wu Xiaoshi only glanced at the box containing the Pill without opening it. After that, he refocused on the glass panel, watching the progress of the auction.The attendant, noticing that Manager Ma was accompanying the young buyer, couldn't help but wonder about the identity of such a young man.With a big question mark lingering in his mind, the attendant excused himself and left._People were still dazed when Qin Xia opened the next item, bringing their minds back to the present.“Let’s continue, this is an Astragalus flower. You all surely know its properties and uses. We'll start the bidding at 500 gold coins.”No one was surprised at the starting price since the rarity of the Astragalus flower was well-known, and obtaining it was extremely dangerous.“550!”Someone had already raised the bid from the opening price. Although the increase wasn’t large, one by one, people from the general audience began placing bids.Until the price reached two million, there were no further bids.

    In a fairly large room, Manager Ma invited Wu Xiaoshi to sit in his personal chair."Please, Your Majesty," Manager Ma treated Wu Xiaoshi with great care and reverence. He was so terrified that every movement was calculated, and sweat continuously dripped from his forehead."Relax, I won't pass judgment. Initially, I just wanted to buy something here, but when I heard there was an auction, I thought I might join. Is that possible?" said Wu Xiaoshi calmly."Your Majesty doesn't need to join the auction. It's a hassle. Just say what you want, and I will do my best to give it to you for free." Manager Ma waited nervously for Wu Xiaoshi's response, his heart pounding, terrified of misspeaking in front of the number one person in the Shi Empire."It wouldn't be fair if I just asked for it. Besides, if I asked for everything being auctioned, would you really be able to give it all?" Wu Xiaoshi looked at Manager Ma calmly, watching as his nervous face turned to one of shock. "Don't worry! I

    Wu Xiao Shi took a short break by leaving the soul chamber. He looked around but found no one."Where did Song Hye go?" Wu Xiao Shi wondered. He stepped out of the room and found several soldiers on patrol within the residence. Wu Xiao Shi called out to them."Do you know where the queen has gone!?" Wu Xiao Shi could have used his dragon spiritual sense to locate his wife. However, at the moment, he lacked the energy due to the extensive training that had drained much of his strength."The Queen has been in the kitchen for the past few days, Your Majesty!" one of the three patrolling soldiers replied politely and respectfully.All three bowed. Although the written rules of the Jing Empire required subjects to kneel before the Emperor, Wu Xiao Shi had changed that. The rule only applied outside the residence or during official meetings. Otherwise, a bow was more than enough. He wasn’t someone obsessed with honor to the point of demanding people to kneel every time they met him."Contin

    No matter how long the night lasts, daylight will eventually come.As the sun nearly reached its zenith, all the remaining high officials of the Jing Empire were gathered. Several new faces had replaced the old officials—those who had either betrayed the kingdom or died in the struggle.Everyone sat in neat rows, listening closely to Wu Xiaoshi as he explained the progress of the new empire.Now seated beside him was Song Hye, his Empress. A woman of remarkable beauty, she was also known as the imperial princess of the Song Empire.The name of the empire had been changed to the Shi Empire, and everyone welcomed this change without opposition. Their only hope was that the Shi Empire would bring about a brighter future.Referring to what Emperor Shi had proclaimed, they could all imagine the great things to come. With the unification of two empires, it promised to become a bridge for administrative growth and the people's economy. Hence, they all supported the idea wholeheartedly.When

    Wen Li could not be underestimated, for she was not someone who would easily fall in battle. She dodged to the left when Wu Xiaoshi’s strike came from the right, thrusting her flexible sword.Clang! Clang! The sound of clashing blades echoed.Their blades met countless times, but what confused Wen Li was why the young man before her remained unaffected by the poison on her sword.Seeing her puzzled expression, Wu Xiaoshi swung his sword harder than before, forcing Wen Li to retreat.“Did you really think a toy poison like that could affect my body? You’re too naive!”His provocative words stung Wen Li, making her face flush with frustration.“Death Poison Physique…” Wen Li muttered softly. A bluish-purple glow radiated from her body, covering every inch of her skin. No normal flesh remained—her whole body seemed to be poison. What would happen if someone touched her?Wu Xiaoshi grew serious. He knew the level of this poison could exceed the speed of his internal healing.He jumped bac
