As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 415 What's wrong? My dear minister, do you wish to share a pillow with me?
"Little Chen, give me a shoulder massage."

The heart-to-heart talk has come to an end.

If I say too much, Hua Rong will probably feel ashamed and embarrassed.

As Mingchen said, let's be down-to-earth and move forward step by step.

Living in the moment is a good thing.

Then he changed his expression, holding a thumb ring in his hand, raising his head, and adopting a noble and arrogant demeanor as he gave orders to Mingchen.

This should be the norm for their relationship.

“Your Majesty, Chen is a subject, not a servant.”

As soon as that unlucky girl bent over, Mingchen knew what she wanted to do, and of course he wouldn't let this mischievous troublemaker have her way.

He was thick-skinned and showed no modesty whatsoever: "How could Your Majesty bear to waste such a talented person as Chen by making me do such trivial things?"

Hua Rong's eyes shone brightly as she said to Ming Chen, "How can one sweep the world if one cannot even sweep one's own room? My dear minister, do not be all talk and no action!"

"Oh?"

"The ability to employ people is the most important talent of an emperor."

Mingchen straightened up and said in a cold voice, "The new dynasty has just been established, and instead of thinking about how to strengthen the country, enrich the people, and expand the territory, it seeks comfort and enjoyment. This is truly a tragedy for the country. I think His Majesty is too incompetent, does not know how to recognize people, does not know how to make good use of people, and only knows how to enjoy himself. I am afraid he is not a wise ruler. It seems that I should find a way to save the country and establish a new emperor."

Hua Rong's ears twitched, and she instinctively gripped the ring in her hand tightly: "You!"

You, Mingchen, talk a good game, but are you really going to make me emperor?
She, the emperor, isn't even allowed to enjoy herself!
Power has slipped from his grasp, and he is surrounded by powerful ministers.

It seems her fairy empire has serious problems.

She wagged her tail and grinned at Mingchen, saying, "Just kidding, just kidding~"

"My dear minister, please don't take this seriously!"

"How could I possibly be that incompetent ruler? How could I possibly ask you to do those useless chores?"

"Then may I ask, what can you do for me, my dear minister?"

Mingchen immediately raised his hand, his eyes as firm as if he were joining the Party: "Your Majesty, harmony in the royal family leads to harmony throughout the land."

"Seeing the desolation of His Majesty's harem, I, Chen, though unworthy, dare to apply for the position of Empress, in order to preserve an heir for the empire and bring peace to the hearts of the people."

Righteous and awe-inspiring, what a loyal and upright minister who served his country!
"Oh?"

You don't meddle in other people's business?
This is no small matter!
You keep talking about being a great talent who can save the country and its people and uphold the nation, and yet you apply to be the Empress?!
This guy has absolutely no shame!
"Yeah~"

The little fox twitched the corners of its mouth, but then narrowed its eyes, raised its little paw, and pointed at Mingchen's neck.

The next instant, a trace of magic power, so subtle it was almost imperceptible, was revealed.

The small fox paw trembled, and the black and red fur dome rippled in the breeze, gradually transforming into an arm.

Her ten fingers were long and slender, like bamboo shoots after a rain, with a delicate and lustrous sheen; her wrists were like white lotus roots, with skin as smooth as cream. The jade thumb ring that Mingchen had given her was carefully worn on her thumb, exuding a touch of nobility.

Her jade-like hand lightly touched Mingchen's chin, her nails neatly trimmed and exquisite, the crescent-shaped arc tinged with pink, like the tip of a spring peach petal.

Its fox-like eyes were slightly upturned, glistening with moisture, seemingly drawing one into that clear spring.

As the magic flowed, the arm gradually extended backward, the red and black fur transforming into smooth skin, and then into a shimmering, sheer dress, revealing her exquisite figure little by little. Even before her face was seen, her beauty and allure were already unparalleled.

This mischievous fox is finally about to transform into human form!
This was the first time Mingchen had seen her in human form.

His eyes lit up; he was also looking forward to it.

However… just as he was about to see her face, the little fox deliberately avoided Mingchen's gaze and leaned close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids, her red lips parting slightly: "What is it, my dear minister, that you wish to share a pillow with me?"

It's true that vixens can seduce people.

Gone was her usual mischievous and clever demeanor; instead, she possessed a low, seductive quality, as if she wanted to lead people into the abyss of desire with her.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, leave it to me. I will gladly accept this task!"

The soft whispers entered my heart, like tiny claws gently scratching at my soul, drawing me in without me even realizing it.

Hehehe, I want to be His Majesty the Demon Emperor's dog!

How incredibly beautiful must this mischievous girl be?
Curious, curious, curious!

This coy, half-concealed allure is most captivating.

"Yeah~"

However, at that moment, a triumphant smile appeared on the red lips that were close to Mingchen's ear.

"Hee hee~"

The next moment, a cool breeze swept over me.

Tempted by her beauty, Mingchen shuddered and felt a sense of foreboding arise from nowhere.

Not luxurious! Something's fishy!
With a faint flow of magical power, the alluring, slender hand rapidly expanded in the blink of an eye, transforming into a Michelin Man in the blink of an eye.

……

"Lan Ling'er, we should be almost there."

"What are they talking about, my husband? Should we go after them and have a chat too?"

Time flowed slowly between Mingchen and Huarong, whether they were having heart-to-heart talks or playing around.

Both Fuyao and Linglu are very fast.

Before long, they had crossed several prefectures and counties in the Qian Yuan region.

On her first time coming down the mountain, Lu Tian looked around like a curious child.

Everything in this world seemed new and exciting to her.

Unfortunately, Mingchen had something to do and needed to go back quickly.

Otherwise, she thought... if she could stroll around like this with Mingchen, enjoying life to the fullest, that would be a wonderful thing too~
She leaned against the spirit deer, gazing into the distance, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

But at this moment,

"what!!!"

“My eyes!!!”

"Hua Rong!!!"

Suddenly, a familiar roar came from ahead.

Very well, the deer, which had just recovered, shivered again and almost fell off the clouds.

If we're in a hurry, we're on our way. Why are these people making such a fuss?!
Lu Tian was also taken aback and looked ahead with some curiosity.

So even he can lose his composure like this!

She discovered a whole new side of Mingchen.

What are they saying?

……

"My dear minister, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Are you ill?"

"Our nation's pillars, please don't get injured or overworked, you must take good care of your health!"

The little fox sat obediently, its tail wagging, its eyes bright and clear, looking adorable and incredibly cute.

She seemed completely unaware of what had just happened, looking at the person in front of her with concern in her eyes.

But in reality, she couldn't quite control herself.

The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

We won! We won! We won!

She finally won!
Since leaving the Northern Lie Imperial Palace and following Ming Chen, she has never succeeded once; instead, she is always being teased by Ming Chen.

This time, it was finally her turn.

What a wonderful thing!

"you!"

"Okay, okay! Good, okay!"

"Your Majesty, you'd better remember this."

Mingchen gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the mischievous boy.

I was just blinded by her beauty and didn't react quickly enough.

Despite all precautions, she was still unprepared; this unlucky fox is truly not someone to be trifled with. She's a super-plus, enhanced version of the mischievous and disobedient Fuyao.

It was almost over, but this guy pulled a surprise.

God knows what he just went through; his vision was filled with oozing, white flesh, and he desperately needed eyes that had never seen such a sight before.

He was all ready to see what the quirky, beautiful girl he'd raised for so long actually looked like, but in the blink of an eye, she'd swollen up and turned into a fat, ugly woman.

Mingchen has never hidden his lustful nature.

He simply likes beautiful girls who are both beautiful inside and out.

One's appearance is something one is born with and cannot change; he has no intention of judging others, nor does he have time to look down on them.

He likes beautiful women and doesn't dislike ugly people.

If we see each other normally, it's really not a big deal.

But heaven knows how desperate he must have felt when, after he was all ready to admire the beauty, his vision was suddenly filled with a lump of flesh.

Moreover, it's obvious that the little fox isn't like that at all; she's deliberately playing this prank to mess with Mingchen's mindset.

"ah?"

"What's wrong? What do you mean?"

"Why are you so angry, my dear minister? Who has offended you? Tell me, and I will help you vent your anger!"

Hahahaha!

Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne today, a glorious victory, a resounding triumph.

Hua Rong herself didn't know how long she had been waiting for this day.

The little fox's eyes were full of concern, but its mouth was practically splitting open with a smile.

This is a great start.

"It's nothing, nothing at all~ I wouldn't dare trouble Your Majesty~"

Mingchen will play this prank with Huarong for a very, very long time.

If your defenses are breached, then you've lost.

Mingchen let out a soft breath, composed himself, and said through gritted teeth, "Your Majesty is truly beautiful and captivating~ What I saw today was truly breathtaking, a beauty that could rival even the most celestial beings..."

"Hee hee~"

Hua Rong raised her head, taking it as a compliment from Ming Chen, and said with a grin, "That's right~"

"What, my dear minister, do you still wish to become my empress?"

Mingchen glared at her fiercely: "Yes!"

"Chen Yong will never go back on his word!"

While the man and the fox were frolicking, they took advantage of Mingchen's momentary lapse in attention as he gritted his teeth.

With a flash of red light, she darted behind Mingchen.

She is a free-spirited and mischievous sprite, willful and unrestrained.

"kindness?"

Mingchen tensed up instinctively, but then relaxed.

As the magic flowed, the lotus-white arm that had just appeared wrapped around Mingchen's waist from behind, and her red lips pressed against his neck, letting out a soft breath.

Her lips gently touched the back of his neck, and her soft words drifted on the breeze to Mingchen's ears.

"The matter you have proposed... I approve it."

White clouds drift by, and a gentle breeze caresses your face.

It seemed that all my emotions had settled down at this moment.

If Mingchen were to turn around now and look at the beauty's face, he might be surprised once again.

Apart from a strikingly incongruous red lip, there was nothing on this pale face.

This is actually the face he wanted to see.

Hua Rong didn't want to disappoint Ming Chen, so she had to protect her mystique.

It wasn't that she didn't want Mingchen to see her face; in reality... she wasn't ready. She had even forgotten what she looked like.

Perhaps she should try harder to find the face she has forgotten and discarded.

……

At Zhenling Pass, the black flag with a red dragon of the Qian Yuan dynasty fluttered in the wind.

For a long time, Bei Lie and Qian Yuan have been locked in a tug-of-war over these three passes.

The recent battles of Xingtai Pass and Zhenling Pass can be considered major turning points in this campaign from its inception to the present.

Qian Yuan completely defeated the enemy army and reclaimed the three northern passes occupied by Bei Lie.

The news spread, and the entire Qian Yuan was excited.

It should be noted that since the end of Hou Buyen's era, Qian Yuan has never been able to gain the upper hand over Bei Lie.

The country has been in turmoil lately, almost to the point of destruction, but unexpectedly, it has managed to turn the tide and fight back.

Among them, the most renowned were the two dukes of the new dynasty.

With two dukes in one family, Mingchen and Lingyu both demonstrated the prestige of the Duke of Qianyuan.

Needless to say, Mingchen seems to have never failed at anything he's done.

Sailing across the sea, launching a swift and decisive attack, and taking advantage of the main force of the Northern Lie army attacking Xingtai Pass, he captured Zhenling Pass, the most difficult pass in the northern border, with incredible efficiency, adding another chapter to his legendary resume.

However, compared to that, the most legendary figure is the legendary female general, General Ling Yu.

The enemy spread rumors that Mingchen had died, causing the morale of the Qian Yuan army to collapse.

This general, however, stood alone on the front lines, empowered by the blazing phoenix fire, single-handedly holding off an army of 100,000, causing the enemy's morale to collapse and them to scatter and flee.

Throughout history, there have been countless legendary and extraordinary figures, but none of them actually happened before their eyes.

And right now, Ling Yu is the most dazzling star.

The soldiers throughout the North regarded their female general as a goddess.

The Qian Yuan dynasty experienced a series of major wars, and the nation's fate was restored from peril, with everything in need of rebuilding.

However, at this critical juncture, the Northern Army was of unwavering morale and high spirits.

Everything is thanks to their leader, who has never failed.

At that moment, the leader stood on the city wall, gazing quietly into the distance, a gentle breeze ruffling the stray hairs by her ears.

It's getting cold. That person is always flying in the sky. I wonder if he's cold or if he's wearing more clothes.
It's strange, she already misses him after he's only been gone a few days...

She had always wanted to overthrow the country to the north, but now she was somewhat tired of it. She wanted the war to end quickly, and she didn't mind stopping here.

"General, an urgent report from Bei Lie."

"Emperor Qin Lou of the North intends to personally lead an expedition, gathering an army of 400,000 to march south and attack my Qian Yuan."

Just then, a lieutenant strode over and handed Ling Yu a letter.

I just passed three levels and breathed a sigh of relief.

We haven't even had a proper rest yet!
The Northern Emperor has actually mobilized the entire nation's military strength to wage war, putting immense pressure on the country. This is truly a life-or-death battle.

Success means unifying the world; failure means the decline and fall of the nation.

"Oh?"

"That's it..."

Ling Yu had read the shocking news, but remained calm.

The deputy general was completely stunned.

He truly deserves to be a great general; he was born to handle grand situations. Even when faced with wars that could sway the fate of the nation, he remained completely unfazed and showed no concern whatsoever.

Suddenly, a shadow swept by, and a magnificent red bird fell from the sky.

At that very moment, the lieutenant saw the ice and snow melt away, and the usually calm and aloof general unconsciously revealed a gentle smile.
