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

Chapter 42 What’s the difference between saying it and not saying it?
"How was your training today?"

As he spoke, Li Chen used his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Li Si Ning's mouth.

Especially when wiping Li Si Ning's lips, the bright red blood smeared on the pink lips added a sense of charm, making Li Si Ning's already delicate facial features even more attractive.

It also feels very good, soft and elastic.

"I have only been practicing for a while, and I have only cultivated two meridians. It will probably take many days to cultivate the twelve main meridians as my brother said."

Li Sining pouted, obviously dissatisfied with her performance.

He might not feel satisfied after only practicing two steps in the morning.

But if this were to be made public, it would definitely scare many people to death.

Normally it takes a week for a cultivator to complete one path. Some even practice one path a month to consolidate their foundation, and it takes exactly one year to complete it.

At the Kaimai Realm stage, speed is not necessarily a good thing, but being this fast is indeed a bit scary.

Li Chen felt that it was okay, since he could be faster anyway.

Yesterday Li Chen told Li Si Ning that the cultivation of the eight extraordinary meridians is very important.

As long as the twelve meridians in the human body are found and opened, one can absorb the energy of heaven and earth. Physical fitness will improve accordingly, and attributes such as strength, speed, and reaction will also be improved to varying degrees.

If you have high talent, you will also awaken some special abilities.

Liu Hao awakened the wind element, and had relatively high attainments in body movement and swordsmanship.

Wu Qi awakens a special dark element. When he explodes, dark energy will appear on his body. This ability will corrode the opponent and give him a huge advantage in a protracted battle.

Xiao Ming's awakening is quite rare, as it is the fire element that countless practitioners dream of, and it is one in a million.

In addition to its extremely strong combat power, the fire element is also the primary requirement for being an alchemist.

In addition, Xiao Ming also awakened the earth element. He usually uses this element to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. If he can't beat him, he will switch to the fire element to show off.

The two abilities awakened by Li Chen are particularly special. They are above all things. They represent the golden energy of the power of Heaven and the will of Heaven, containing endless majesty and sacredness.

And the purple energy symbolizing the imperial aura is the most noble existence among all things in the world, allowing him to possess an aura of dominating the world at all times.

This is why when he explodes, he can cause resonance between heaven and earth, making everyone feel that the heaven and earth are as old as each other, and the sun and the moon are as bright as each other.

Li Si Ning needs to train all twelve main meridians well before she can awaken her special abilities.

However, Li Chen just tested her meridians, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be thunder-related.

The awakening of each system is divided into different levels, and what kind of ability is awakened depends on her fate.

After chatting for a while, Li Si Ning was very curious about cultivation. She asked, "What realm is after the Kaimai realm? What can you do?"

Li Chen replied, "After the Kaimai realm comes the Ningyuan realm. When you reach this realm, you can store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in your meridians, use your awakened abilities, and further strengthen other meridians."

"What realm is after the Condensation Realm? Are there any special abilities?"

"After the Condensation Stage is the Soul Stage, where you can activate your Soul."

The two siblings chatted for a long time, mostly about cultivation.

There will definitely be a lot of jokes along the way. Li Chen really doesn't have any requirements for Li Si Ning's practice. He just lets her practice for fun.

It was not until the afternoon that Li Sining suddenly remembered something.

"Brother, aren't you going on a date today?"

"Why, can't you stay here with my sister?"

"Of course, then you are mine today!"

Li Sining guessed some reasons, but didn't say them out loud to spoil the fun.

When Li Chen came back, he received news that Chu Ruoyan was summoned by the Queen Mother.

I guess the Queen Mother wants to explain some rules of the harem to Chu Ruoyan and brainwash her at the same time.

Anyway, the Chu family is a force under the Queen Mother, and Chu Ruoyan also knows that it is the opportunity given to her by the Queen Mother, so she will naturally listen to some of the words.

It is very dangerous to offend the Queen Mother in the harem. As for what Chu Ruoyan will think later, Li Chen is not worried.

After having a certain emotional foundation, even if Chu Ruoyan would do what the Queen Mother said in some aspects, this was on the premise that it would not hurt Li Chen.

When the time comes, we can train him a little and he will be completely obedient.

The first time he saw Chu Ruoyan, Li Chen judged that she was the kind of girl who had not been "trained", so it took him some time.

If she was the type who was loyal to the empress dowager and was directly sent to serve in the harem, then Li Chen would not need to be polite and would just have fun.

Li Chen treats different people differently.

In fact, many people in the court underestimated Li Chen’s current power.

Even if he didn't try very hard, he could still get the information.

Because when the late emperor was alive, these guards and eunuchs were absolutely loyal.

These people have control over various information channels.

For example, the eunuch chief, Eunuch Cui, has served the late emperor for decades, so his strength and ability are naturally impeccable.

There is also the commander of the Imperial Guard, Li Sixing, a true royal, and it would be of no benefit to him to betray the emperor.

If Li Chen is incompetent and is a puppet emperor, then they will soon have to turn to the major forces in the court in order to protect themselves.

But seeing how Li Chen is now, they naturally claim to be loyal to His Majesty as their only principle.

Li Chen didn't even need to say hello. They would tell Li Chen everything going on inside and outside the palace, just like they did when serving the late emperor, and do their own jobs well.

No matter how powerful the forces in the court are, they are not as powerful as the late emperor.

The art of being an emperor is just about pursuing balance, but it does not mean that the emperor does not need to hold power.

Of course, there are still some things here that are no longer under Li Chen’s control.

However, as long as they don't cause trouble and obey orders like Zhao Wenyuan and Guo Poyun, Li Chen is too lazy to deal with them.

This is the advantage of not hiding anything. I will be frank and say that I am at the Saint level. You can handle it yourselves.

Li Chen had a good rest for the day.

Perhaps even Li Chen himself did not expect that he is now like the biggest BOSS in the world, and the ultimate goal of many people is to get rid of him.

On the other side, Chu Ruoyan returned to her own residence at night.

Now everyone in the Chu family feels that this matter has been settled. The eldest daughter of the Chu family has won the favor of the emperor and has been summoned by the empress dowager. It is a foregone conclusion that she will enter the palace as a concubine.

Even the nephew of the current Queen Mother came today to establish good relations with the Chu family.

You know, it was not easy for the head of the Chu family to meet this person before.

The Chu family can also be said to be a force under the Queen Mother's nephew, working for him.

Now he took the initiative to come over. The head of the Chu family felt very proud and finally straightened his back!
Although he was happy, the head of the Chu family still solemnly told his daughter not to cause trouble when she entered the palace in the future, and to listen to the emperor and the queen mother.

At this time, Chu Ruoyan suddenly said: "If your majesty and the queen mother say opposite things, who should I listen to?"

The head of the Chu family was stunned on the spot, then stood up, looked around, and after making sure that no one was around, he said, "The reason why our Chu family can gain a foothold in the imperial capital is thanks to the care of the Queen Mother, but His Majesty is very powerful now, even Master Yu has to kneel down and submit."

Chu Ruoyan was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Dad, what's the difference between you saying it and not saying it?"

Hearing her say this, the head of the Chu family felt that his daughter still had too little experience. Isn't this the answer?

Sometimes talking nonsense is the best way to avoid offending either side.

What does it mean to be wise but appear foolish? It means to pretend to be ignorant when you know everything.
Then he asked Chu Ruoyan what she thought when she saw the Queen Mother today and whether the Queen Mother said anything.

This sentence completely confused Chu Ruoyan, because when Chu Ruoyan saw the Queen Mother for the first time, she felt two huge senses of oppression.

Big! Really big! I can’t even hold it with both hands!
