I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 144 What do you mean by "It's impossible", I am the emperor! (Please subscribe and vote)

Xiao Ming also considered whether to tell Pang Jin.

But Zou Yi didn't do anything. He was the nephew of the Queen Mother, and Pang Jin couldn't force open the coffin for that reason.

At this moment, the conversation between Zou Yi and his men was heard outside the door. It should be Zou Yi who came back.

Xiao Ming did not choose to run, but hid in the dark and eavesdropped.

"My father is really something. He said I could die outside but I must take this coffin back. I even doubt if I am his biological child."

As soon as Zou Yi came in, he started complaining, and his subordinates tried to comfort him in various ways.

Xiao Ming roughly heard that this coffin was very important to the Zou family, but Zou Yi had not returned to the imperial capital for some time, so his father sent someone to deliver a letter to urge him.

The more this happened, the more Xiao Ming felt that there was something wrong.

That night, when the coffin was sent out of the city, Xiao Ming also left with it.

He has the power to judge cases independently in the Ministry of Justice and can do what he wants.

By the time Xiao Ming returns to the imperial capital, that will be a matter of many days.

But every time he comes back, he gains a lot.

The next day, the Battle Academy announced the results. Li Chen's alias, Cheng Li, was undoubtedly the first by a large margin, scoring full marks on both the comprehension test and the talent test.

He also received a notification that the task was completed.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission 'Advanced Study in the Academy (Special)', and you will be rewarded with 10 Heavenly Grade Dragon Blood Condensation Pills. ]

[Limited time mission: Ruins exploration (group).]

[Task requirements: The ancient ruins are a very dangerous place. Please gather at least 3 trustworthy helpers and go to the designated location with them to explore the ruins and find the holy beast egg in the ruins. The time limit is 150 days.]

Looking at this task, Li Chen roughly understood what the system meant.

It means that after reaching the Condensation Stage, one can cultivate one's own power and raise loyal holy beasts.

This ancient ruins is a rather dangerous place.

It is said that in ancient times, there were ferocious beasts everywhere, strong men were as numerous as clouds, and various battles often occurred.

These so-called ancient ruins are actually ancient battlefields, where many powerful people and sacred beasts have perished, and naturally many treasures have been dropped as well.

Every time an ancient relic appears, it causes a sensation in the surrounding area.

Of course, it is also possible that some monks with good fortune accidentally entered the hidden ruins.

There are not only treasures in the ruins, but also various dangers.

What low-level monks fear most is being possessed by some evil creatures in the ruins.

So the best way is to bring some help.

Perhaps that is what the system means.

With Li Chen's level of cultivation, who dares to take over his body?
As for the evil creatures in the ruins he was about to visit, he couldn't predict what kind of rebellious guy would come in.

When it comes to going out, Li Chen immediately thinks of one person in his mind, and that is his mount.

It had indeed been a while since he last visited Wu Nanzhi. After the morning court session, Li Chen left the palace and came to Changqing Street.

As soon as I arrived at where Wu Nanzhi lived, I saw her packing her things.

"What? Did you know I was coming and were going to pack up and go home with me?"

As soon as she heard this teasing tone, Wu Nanzhi knew that the man had arrived.

Wu Nanzhi hasn't seen Li Chen for several days and has been feeling rather lonely lately.

But she knew that she couldn't tell Li Chen about this, otherwise this guy would definitely take advantage of her.

"You, all you do is kidnap women from outside. How many have you cheated in this period of time?"

Wu Nanzhi spoke casually, just the two of them habitually teasing each other.

Who knew that Li Chen thought about it for a while and replied: "Two, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to get a number later."

Wu Nanzhi looked at his serious face, not knowing whether he was joking or serious.

She felt that with Li Chen's personality, he could really do it.

However, she had something else to do today, so she didn't continue chatting with Li Chen.

When asked by Li Chen, Wu Nanzhi started to explain: "My father has broken through to the Saint Realm, and now he is having a family banquet to celebrate, so I have to go back."

As she spoke, her face was full of smiles. After all, this was a big happy event for the Wu family.

A saint level person is enough to make the Wu family's position more stable.

The Saint Realm is a hurdle, and many people who choose to break through are taking huge risks.

The young Tianyuan realm cultivator did not dare to break through, because if he failed, there was a high probability that he would become disabled.

Just imagine, after finally cultivating to the Tianyuan realm, you have become a powerful figure famous in the area, with countless forces extending olive branches to you, a true superior person.

Who can bear the fact that you are in a hurry to break through before you can fully enjoy the glory brought by your strength, and then become a waste overnight?

Therefore, many practitioners have been accumulating experience for more than ten years or even dozens of years before they break through.

Of course, breakthroughs in the later stages are not that easy. Courage and elixirs are only secondary. The main thing is to reach the threshold of the Saint realm.

Just like the Second Prince’s bodyguard Feng Wuhen and Xu Zifeng’s helper Ma Hei, they definitely dared but they just hadn’t found their way.

"Are we leaving now?" There is one more saint in the territory of the Tiance Dynasty. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, it will be a good thing for Li Chen.

At least it can protect the stability of one side.

"Yes, the family dinner will start tomorrow."

Having said that, Wu Nanzhi glanced at Li Chen quietly.

In fact, she received good news a few days ago and wanted to tell Li Chen the news.

The purpose, of course, was to get Li Chen to go back with her.

But Li Chen never showed up, so she kept waiting, which was also faster than the Holy Tiger's pace.

Huju City is far away from the imperial capital. If we don’t go back today, it will be too late, so we plan to leave.

Who knew that Li Chen happened to show up and she told him the news.

But when she said that, Li Chen definitely didn't know what she meant. Li Chen wasn't a god, so Wu Nanzhi began to hint, "Are you busy lately?"

As long as I said this, Li Chen naturally knew that this woman was going to take me to meet her parents, so he said, "Oh? Are you waiting for me?"

"I don't know what's going on in your head. Didn't you want to eat authentic six-armed bear paws last time? Forget it if you don't want to go." After saying that, Wu Nanzhi continued to get busy.

As a woman, I am still somewhat reserved and would never be so direct.

Li Chen also felt that this woman was indeed interested in him, and the timing was about right, so he should find a way to win her over, so he said, "No problem, I'll do as you say. I'll go back and tell her, but isn't your nephew going?"

Wu Nanzhi was indeed very happy when he heard what Li Chen said, but he did not show it. He said casually, "The war in the north is fierce. He is very busy now. He has been sleeping in the Ministry of War and has not returned home. His father also asked me not to tell him that he can have the family dinner anytime, but his chance to be promoted is only this once."

After deciding to go to Huju City, Li Chen also had to go back and inform them.

He came out this time just to hang out and had no plans to go out at first.

After all, he is the emperor. If he doesn't want to go to work, he can just ask for leave.

There isn't much going on recently. Fairy Youlan will be back in a few days, and I will be back by then, so it won't be a big problem.

When Li Chen came here again, Wu Nanzhi had already packed his luggage.

She had to admit that she was still a little nervous about asking Li Chen to accompany her back this time.

If I meet my father, how should I tell him about Li Chen's identity?
If I go to the capital and bring back a man, my father won't believe me even if I say he is my friend.

Li Chen's purpose was very clear, he was always targeting her.

Wu Nanzhi felt that by then, Li Chen would definitely say something shocking.

So she had to make things clear with Li Chen first to avoid getting into trouble.

It’s not that I think Li Chen will be in danger. This guy can even beat the Holy Tiger casually.

She was afraid that others would offend Li Chen, which would be dangerous.

On the way out of the city, Wu Nanzhi told Li Chen about the customs and habits of Huju City, as well as some things about his family. Li Chen also had a preliminary understanding of Huju City.

Seeing Li Chen like this, Wu Nanzhi still felt a little uneasy. She always felt that something was going to happen.

In the woods far outside the city, Wu Nanzhi followed the same old routine. He took off his clothes, put them in his luggage and handed them to Li Chen.

Having been naked many times, she is no longer as shy as before, but she can't stand Li Chen's overly direct gaze.

With a bang, a huge holy tiger appeared.

It’s still the same, this guy is afraid of Li Chen. In front of Li Chen, he is just a well-behaved little cat.

Riding on the holy tiger, Li Chen felt that the surrounding scenery was constantly changing.

The holy tiger can easily cross various cliffs and rivers, and run over the forest as if it were walking on flat ground.

If you ride a horse on the official road, it will take a certain amount of time.

The Holy Tiger can walk in a straight line.

After running until the evening, Shenghu was exhausted. According to Wu Nanzhi's plan, there was a small town nearby where they could rest for a night, set off tomorrow morning, and reach Huju City by noon.

After changing clothes, Wu Nanzhi was naturally very hungry, so he ate something in a restaurant in the town.

At this time, she actually forgot one thing. This area is not the imperial capital. It is a mixed crowd with good and bad people, many cultivators, and numerous sects.

When Wu Nanzhi came, she wore a veil and loose clothes, trying to hide her beauty as much as possible, just because she didn't want to get into trouble.

But now she was not wearing a cover-up, and trouble soon arose.

Wu Nanzhi had just sat down in the restaurant and ordered food, but before the waiter brought the food, trouble arrived.

I heard a sound of a team of horses stopping outside, and several practitioners with very powerful auras came in.

These people were wearing the same uniform and looked like disciples from a nearby cultivation family.

The security in the town is not very good, and many people will stay away from practitioners like this.

As soon as the leader came in, he set his eyes on Li Chen. Yes, it was Li Chen.

These practitioners are all women. When they see Li Chen, it is no different from other men seeing a beautiful woman.

The leading woman's eyes were full of surprise; she had not expected to meet such a handsome man here.

When Wu Nanzhi saw this group of women coming over, he felt a little uneasy.

As a woman, she knew what it meant when other women saw that look.

Especially the woman in the lead, who was so charming, with rosy lips, charming eyeliner, revealing clothes, and tattoos on her full chest that extended to her neck. Wu Nanzhi didn't think Li Chen could resist such temptation.

It’s bad. Before she even reaches Tiger City, her man is going to be taken away by someone?
The charming woman said: "Sir, I am..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Chen said, "No appointment."

This sentence surprised Wu Nanzhi. In Wu Nanzhi's opinion, Li Chen should be the lustful type.

Li Chen is not lustful, but he is not attracted to all women.

This woman does have a nice figure, but her face is heavily made up and you can see some tattoos.

To put it bluntly, Li Chen never watched movies with tattoos before, let alone women.

The main target of the recent strategy is Wu Nanzhi, so there is no need to look for these bad peach blossoms.

I don’t know why, but Wu Nanzhi was quite happy when he heard Li Chen’s refusal.

What's more, Li Chen's eyes were always on Wu Nanzhi, which made her feel a little victorious. Her full chest was slightly raised, trying to express that this was her asset!

The charming woman looked at Wu Nanzhi unwillingly. How can you, a bitch, have the nerve to keep such a handsome man all to yourself?
Even if it only takes a few days for me!

Just as she was about to continue speaking, a wave of energy was heard around her. Her eyes flashed with fear, and she was so scared that she bowed and apologized, then ran out without looking back.

The people who followed her were also very frightened and fled from the place.

Wu Nanzhi knew without thinking that this was most likely Li Chen's trick.

Li Chen really didn't want to continue talking nonsense. He only needed to activate the energy slightly, and the hearts of these people were tightly grasped.

The charming woman felt something strange in her body. This was the attitude of the handsome man opposite her, and also a warning.

Being able to attack from a distance means that he is not someone I can reach at my level.

So after apologizing to the strong man, he left the place immediately.

After the troublemaker left, Wu Nanzhi said, "I was thinking, how about putting on a veil for you."

The words were meant to be a joke, but they were indeed a recognition of Li Chen's appearance.

Li Chen said: "You know I'm popular, so why don't you act quickly? If someone snatches it away from you, you will know you are wrong."

Wu Nanzhi curled his lips and didn't reply.

The little episode was over and the waiter quickly brought everything up.

After hugging each other and eating a meal, the two prepared to find an inn to rest.

When they arrived at the inn in the center of the town, Li Chen said, "Boss, open two rooms."

As he said this, he gave the shopkeeper a look and handed over one more bill.

The shopkeeper glanced at Li Chen and understood what he meant.

After taking the money, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, we only have one guest room here, so you two can just make do with what you have."

Hearing that there was only one guest room, Wu Nanzhi said, "Ah? Only one room. How about we look for somewhere else?"

Without Li Chen's hint, the shopkeeper immediately replied, "Sir, this is the only inn in our small place."

Wu Nanzhi was in a dilemma now. She didn't want to sleep outdoors late at night, but she and Li Chen were not a couple, so how could they live together?

Li Chen didn't give her much time to think. After paying the money, he half-coaxed and half-dragged her into the room.

When preparing to rest, Wu Nanzhi was still relatively reserved and made three rules with Li Chen.

For example, during rest time, Li Chen cannot cross the line and do other things while she is sleeping.

No matter what she said, Li Chen naturally agreed.

That night Wu Nanzhi knew what it meant to not believe a word Li Chen said!

The next day, Wu Nanzhi walked out of the inn a few steps and saw another inn.

Only now did she realize that she had been fooled yesterday!

When he was about to go to the shopkeeper to settle the account, he was carried away by Li Chen.

What was supposed to happen had already happened, and she would not have any resistance to Li Chen's intimate actions now.

"Alright, alright, put me down now, you're such a jerk."

In fact, when Wu Nanzhi and Li Chen entered the room, they had already made plans for the worst.

But who would have thought that Li Chen would not wait for a moment and would just come openly.

After being put down by Li Chen, Wu Nanzhi continued to ask while sorting out his clothes: "How are you going to explain this to your wife?"

She was actually very afraid to face Chu Ruoyan. They were just chatting and laughing last time, but she ended up taking someone else's man. What would that beautiful woman think?

What's more, Li Chen's wife is still very young, and he is older, so it is really embarrassing for him to argue with Chu Ruoyan about these things.

Li Chen said calmly, "What's there to explain? She can't help but ask me to take in more women to expand my harem."

"Just brag about it. You even have a harem. Do you really think you are the emperor? Oh, wait, your surname is Li, and you have a very high status in the court. My nephew said that Your Majesty is very powerful. You can't really be the emperor?" Wu Nanzhi suddenly thought of something.

Because Wu Nanzhi first heard the rumors about the new emperor, that he was old, fat, and ugly, so naturally he had preconceived ideas.

Not to mention Wu Nanzhi, Chu Ruoyan also thought so at the time. Wu Qi only mentioned that His Majesty was powerful and wanted to let his aunt meet him before continuing to talk about other things, but he never found such an opportunity.

Now that Li Chen gave her a slight hint, she finally reacted.

No wonder Wu Qi was promoted the next day just after I told Li Chen that Wu Qi was a non-staff member of the Ministry of War and had difficulty in getting promoted.

The more she thought about it now, the more it seemed to be the case.

"What do you mean by impossible? I am the emperor. I have always asked you to come to my house, but you didn't go." Li Chen shrugged.

Knowing that her man was the emperor was indeed an unexpected surprise for Wu Nanzhi.

The fact that she didn't resist much last night proved that she had already accepted Li Chen. She was just worried that it would be difficult to explain to Li Chen when he returned home.

Now she understood that Li Chen really didn't need any explanation.

However, there is one thing Wu Nanzhi is clear about, she just likes Li Chen as a person, not because he is the emperor, everything else is incidental.

Li Chen actually planned to tell this matter in Huju City, but who knew that the situation would develop so quickly, so he just said it directly.

"Your Majesty, I have offended you during this period of time."

Before Wu Nanzhi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chen.

"That's a bit disgusting, please return to normal."

"."

Wu Nanzhi: "I'm curious, how many concubines do you have?"

"If it's official, you two will be added."

"You can't do this either."

Li Chen: “.”

Wu Nanzhi obviously didn't know the consequences of saying that a man was incompetent, and was asked by Li Chen to go back to the inn early in the morning.

If she hadn't cried and begged for mercy, fearing that she would miss the family dinner, Li Chen would not have let her go.

However, after this incident, the two did have a deeper understanding of each other.

We were originally scheduled to arrive at Tiger City at noon today, but we arrived several hours late.

There is already a festive atmosphere in Tiger City.

With the appearance of a powerful saint in the Wu family, the safety of the residents here is more guaranteed.

But troubles also come one after another.
