Chapter 45: The Enjoying Emperor Ming

On this rainy night, beneath the lightning and thunder, the Holy Maiden looked lost.

Why was her Divine Soul incomplete?

“I have to think about this properly…”

The Holy Maiden began to think about her entire life so far in this world.

She had to make up for this flaw to advance fearlessly.

…

The Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital, Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng had broken through to the next stage by watching the rain. His Divine Soul finally had a human form as he officially entered the Immortal Treasury stage of the Human God Realm.

“The goal of the Immortal Treasury stage is to open the treasures of the human body and unlock its ultimate secrets layer by layer to further widen the difference in strength between the stages and the realms.” Lin Jiufeng recalled the secret manual he had seen in the royal library.

He needed to slowly unlock the secrets contained within his body for its infinite treasures.

The Immortal Treasury stage was an unfamiliar realm to Lin Jiufeng.

Thus, the stage of trying to get used to his increase in power began.

He didn’t pay much attention to the outside world.

On the other hand, Dachun’s food delivery resumed.

The time period for food delivery changed from once every seven days to once a month.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t need to consume food and drinks so frequently after all.

To be honest, food had already become some form of a stimulant in life for him. It allowed him to satisfy his appetite once a month.

Recently, the white cat realized that Lin Jiufeng had made yet another breakthrough.

It was extremely discouraged as Lin Jiufeng’s breakthrough speed was just too fast.

It couldn’t catch up to him no matter how hard it tried.

It became very dejected.

However, Lin Jiufeng could recently feel the strange eyes of the white cat as it looked at him from a distance. The weird and peculiar gaze made Lin Jiufeng feel uneasy towards it.

As a result, he didn’t go and purposely provoke it into action.

…

Time passed by in the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Tianyuan’s management of the Empire has been remarkable. There was now an abundance of Martial Sages in the Yuhua God Dynasty. In short, there were powerful Martial Sages in both the army and in the Imperial Court.

These Martial Sages followed Lin Tianyuan’s command.

As a result, he became even more arrogant.

His policy had to be implemented.

Even if the cabinet ministers said it was wrong, he insisted on it.

Lin Tianyuan believed that he wouldn’t make any mistakes—that his policy was good for the citizens.

If the citizens objected or didn’t like his policies, it must be because the officials below didn’t carry out his orders thoroughly.

On top of that, after that time when he chose some concubines, countless beauties entered the palace.

Every day, he would be with one or several of them at once.

Lin Tianyuan had become incredibly busy.

During this time, his favorite concubine was a woman called Mei Niang.

He was now resting in Mei Niang’s palace every night.

He wouldn’t go to the Empress nor to the side of the other concubines.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was quietly going through a few changes.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng didn’t know about the situation as he was cultivating quietly in the Cold Palace.

Silently breaking through.

Few if not, no people would choose to come to the Cold Palace. There was only him and the white cat behind its sturdy doors. Occasionally, they would bicker, while sometimes, they would cultivate separately and away from each other.

While the other was cultivating, none of them would disturb the other.

Time continued to pass like this until Dachun came to deliver food once again.

Once a month, Dachun would always arrive punctually, never slacking off.

Dachun’s food delivery only happened once a month—he always arrived on time.

He also had never once slacked.

He was now a commander of the imperial guards.

He held a lofty position for he was in charge of guarding the Forbidden City, arresting traitors against the crown, and a personal lackey of the Emperor.

But he was still extremely respectful toward Lin Jiufeng.

As usual, he told Lin Jiufeng about what had recently happened in the Imperial Capital.

Three years ago, Lin Jiufeng didn’t let him deliver food.

It was only until recently did he start to deliver food to him once again.

On this day, Dachun came as usual for his monthly food delivery service and also as a bringer of news.

“Your Royal Highness, how have you been these three years?” Dachun asked cordially.

Behind the doors of the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, “I’m fine, what about you?”

“I’m not bad either. My cultivation level has increased and my second child has also been born. My official position has also been raised to one of the commanders of the imperial guards. I can be considered to be a lofty general now. It’s all thanks to Your Royal Highness,” Dachun said gratefully.

“This is your own effort, you don’t have to thank me.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

He chatted with Dachun over casual things.

Dachun was extremely excited when he talked about his recent changes as he told Lin Jiufeng about his gains in the past three years.
