LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 19
“Master, how is he clever?”
“He has just ascended to the throne, his position not yet secure, and for the sake of a woman, he has given away part of his kingdom!”
“Afterward, he recklessly waged war, invading the Mo Kingdom, all for the thrill of expanding his territory and the sheer enjoyment of it?”
“And then, he had all the domestic merchants killed and offended the influential families to death!”
“He also frequently dismisses important court officials, turning the state court into a complete mess. Yaoyao has never seen such a foolish emperor!”
“All his little clever tricks are used on me, it’s annoying!”
Yaoyao furiously listed Lin Beifan’s faults.
“Yaoyao, one cannot judge a person solely by their appearance; one must also consider their true nature… However, even as your teacher, I can’t make sense of an emperor who behaves so recklessly!”
The stunningly beautiful woman said with a headache, “Here’s what we’ll do: you continue to collaborate with him while also observing him!”
“What? Do I still have to work with him? I wish I could kill him right now!” Yaoyao exclaimed, waving her little fists.The breathtakingly beautiful woman smiled teasingly, “Could you really bear to part with him?”
“What’s there to not bear? Everyone says I’m a demoness who kills without blinking an eye…” Yaoyao lowered her little head, her expression one of dejection.
The stunning woman chuckled inwardly. Seeing her like this, it was clear she was indeed reluctant!
This young girl, for the sake of the Holy Sect’s great cause, had become notorious for her ruthless killings, feared by all who met her, and had been friendless all this time. She truly had a hard life!
“Yaoyao, your master only asks this of you for the sake of the Holy Sect!”
The exquisite woman stroked Yaoyao’s little head, speaking with heartfelt sincerity, “You know the predicament our Holy Sect faces, constantly targeted by the Taoist and Buddhist sects, making it extremely difficult for us to grow. We must find a good ally!”
“Lin Beifan, this young Emperor, is quite special, different from other emperors, and he might just accept our Holy Sect! You should observe him up close, assess his virtues and abilities, to see if he can be of use to us!”
“If this works, Yaoyao, you will have made a great contribution!”
Yaoyao walked down the steps, stubbornly saying, “Alright, since it’s the master’s request, Yaoyao will make an exception and help him! I’m doing this for the greater good of the Holy Sect, definitely not for him!”
“Yes, yes, yes… go on, I’ll wait for your good news!”
Yaoyao excitedly ran down the mountain, mobilizing the forces of her sect to transport the food and supplies Lin Beifan needed.
Lin Beifan personally greeted them, looking at the endless line of supply vehicles, he was overjoyed: “Yaoyao, you’ve worked hard! I have already ordered a feast to be prepared, tonight we will not stop until we’re drunk!”
Yaoyao snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Lin Beifan, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Little foolish emperor, how dare you even ask?”
Yaoyao, clenching her tiny fists and fuming, said, “I’ve been wholeheartedly helping you all this time, but from beginning to end, you’ve been using me as a coolie! Using me to help you kill enemies, using me to help you make money, even using me to transport supplies. What kind of good friend does that!? This Yaoyao is very angry, and the consequences will be severe!”
Lin Beifan sighed, a bitter smile on his face, “You’re right, I have indeed been using you all along! For this, my heart is often tormented, feeling guilty towards you! But…”
Lin Beifan roared in anger, “What wrong have I done? I am just a powerless little Emperor!”
“External enemies are pressing in, internal traitors are causing chaos, and my life is in the hands of others. It’s too hard to be an Emperor! I just want to survive in this dangerous world. What’s wrong with that?”
“Even an ant clings to life; I want to live, and I don’t want to die. Tell me Yaoyao, is that so wrong?”
Yaoyao was left utterly speechless and overwhelmed.
But after giving it some serious thought, she realized that there was some truth to it.
The other person is a young emperor, with his country on the brink of ruin and his life being bountied by others, having no real means to protect himself, making survival extremely difficult.
To stay alive, he had to do some things that went against his conscience and morals, which is understandable.
Moreover, even though he did those things, he didn’t harm her, and in fact, he even helped her make a fortune unexpectedly.
In a moment, half of her anger dissipated.
Seeing Lin Beifan’s utterly heartbroken expression, her heart softened, and her anger faded by another half: “Alright, alright, stop being so sad. I understand you now, I won’t blame you!”
Lin Beifan was deeply moved, “Yaoyao, thank you for understanding. You are a considerate and kind-hearted girl!”
“But…”
Yaoyao stubbornly said, “Your deceitful actions were too despicable. I still feel somewhat resentful and don’t really want to deal with you, hmph!”
Having said that, she turned around again, leaving behind the adorable back of her head.
Lin Beifan picked a wildflower from the side and presented it in front of her, “Here’s a flower for you, may you be as beautiful as the flower!”
Yaoyao accepted the flower with a snort, “Not enough!”
Lin Beifan plucked another wildflower and handed it over, “Here’s another flower for you, may you be as charming that you outshine the moon and shame the flowers!”
Yaoyao took it again, still snorting, “Still not enough!”
Lin Beifan picked several flowers and tied them into a bouquet to give away: “Here’s a bouquet for you, wishing you lots of money to spend every day. This should be good enough, right?”
“That’s more like it!” Yaoyao accepted the flowers with a smile that brightened her face.
Lin Beifan was also very happy. This little girl was so easy to please; just a few flowers had done the trick.
