Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7112

Chapter 7023: The Emperor’s Consort!

Part of the reason they left the scene so decisively was their fear that they might have done something wrong while pursuing the criminals, and thus be sent to prison.

After all, they had demolished too many houses and done too many things along the way to remember.

Li Tianming’s behavior was like that of a madman to them, and they dared not gamble.

Another reason was that the deed was done, and it was more important to report to the young emperor and proceed with the next plan, rather than getting entangled with Li Tianming.

At this moment, Jiu Yuan and Jiu Ding entered the Little Emperor Heaven using the tokens at their waists.

The Little Emperor Heaven, with its exterior resembling a golden dragon, was equally magnificent inside.

As the two entered the Little Emperor Heaven, they were greeted by an atmosphere of luxury.

The interior of the Little Emperor Heaven was mainly golden, with various iridescent gemstones shining in the air.

Various rare gemstones were inlaid in every corner, making the interior sparkle like stars.

Thousands of stars formed a flawless floor, and tens of thousands of Heavenly Venerable-level ‘Golden Dragon Lamps’ were used only for decoration and lighting.

This was the confidence of the Li imperial family; this amount of wealth was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Of course, the most important characteristic of this cosmic starship was its sheer size!

It surpassed even a Celestial Venerable-level starship; its internal space was like a small galaxy, vast and boundless.

Jiuding and Jiuyuan took a step forward, triggering the Dao array within, transforming them into two streaks of nine-colored light.

Without the array’s assistance, traversing the entire Little Emperor Heaven would have taken considerable time.

After passing through an extremely long distance, they soon arrived at the door of the main cabin.

A majestic golden dragon coiled around the door, its eyes exuding a chilling majesty, its angry dragon face seemingly meeting the gaze of those who entered.

Jiuding hesitated for a moment, ultimately looking at Jiuyuan beside him.

He gazed at Jiuyuan’s face, as beautiful as a nine-colored phoenix, enough to captivate all beings.

Her skin was delicate and smooth, her features like meticulously sculpted works of art, flawless.

These were the very qualities that had caught the eye of the young Emperor.

To become a concubine of a member of the Li imperial family is an honor that women of the Heavenly Emperor Sect would rather die than even dream of.

Jiuding was worried that the trouble had arisen before the culprit was even apprehended, which seemed somewhat incompetent.

Although the final consequences were none of their concern, purely Huan Sheng’s own doing,

it was still inconvenient for them to request an audience with the young emperor so soon after the investigation.

Jiuyuan noticed Jiuding’s gaze and rolled her eyes, saying, “I’ll do it.”

It was naturally more appropriate for Jiuyuan to speak first…

With that, she extended her flawless jade hand and placed it on the forehead of the coiled golden dragon on the main cabin door.

Instantly, the dragon’s eyes emitted a dazzling golden light.

Crack—

the sealing array that had been used for the young emperor’s seclusion slowly opened a crack, allowing Jiuyuan’s voice to pass through.

“Emperor, there has been a change in the investigation of the culprit, and Jiuyuan wished to inform you,” Jiuyuan said softly.

This captivating tone, this delicate attitude, was something he had never displayed except when facing the young emperor.

“What a beauty, no wonder she was chosen by the emperor…” Jiu Ding couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

But he was merely marveling. First, they were uncle and niece; second, Jiu Yuan was the young emperor’s woman, making it even less likely anyone would harbor improper thoughts.

Otherwise, they would be courting death…

After a long while, a detached voice came from the main cabin.

“Enter.”

As the voice fell, the golden dragon coiled on the cabin door slowly unscrewed, opening a circular entrance.

Jiu Ding and Jiu Yuan entered together.

Jiu Yuan walked in front, Jiu Ding following behind.

The young emperor sat upright in the main cabin.

As the two approached, the young emperor slowly opened his eyes, revealing that he had just been comprehending the Emperor’s Path.

Now, interrupted by this sudden event, he didn’t seem annoyed, but rather intrigued.

“Speak, what happened?” the young emperor said calmly, looking at the two.

Jiu Yuan stepped forward, took one of the young emperor’s hands and cupped it to her heart, gently rubbing it against his soft skin.

The young emperor looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and asked, “Where is the Huan Tian Imperial Clan member who was with you?”

“Emperor~ This is what I want to tell you. Li Tianming completely disregarded you, even daring to touch your subordinates.” Jiu Yuan blinked and said sweetly.

“Get to the point. I want to know the whole story.” The young emperor said indifferently.

Jiu Yuan’s expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her sweet demeanor and said, “It’s like this, we originally went to help track down criminals, but Huan Sheng went a little too far, and Li Tianming actually wanted to arrest him for such a small matter. It wasn’t a big deal to begin with, but Huan Sheng was naturally indignant and reacted aggressively to the arrest. As a result, Li Tianming actually killed Huan Sheng on the spot.”

“He was both a member of the Huan Tian Imperial Clan and one of my soldiers. He just killed him like that?” The young emperor’s eyes flashed.

“Yes, many people at the scene were incredibly surprised. No one expected him to be so decisive.” Jiu Yuan nestled against the young emperor’s shoulder, her voice soft. “Originally, Huan Sheng even invoked your name, but Li Tianming seemed completely unconcerned, not taking you seriously at all, and still attacked directly. His arrogant attitude is truly lawless. If we don’t teach him a lesson, he might even rebel…”

“Rebel?” the young emperor sneered. “He doesn’t have the guts. If he did, it wouldn’t just be me facing him…”

Jiu Yuan covered her red lips and said, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I misspoke. Jiu Yuan should slap

herself!” As she spoke, she pretended to slap herself.
