The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

The old man looked at Wang Long and Xu Wanyun with a smile, his gaze sweeping over them as he smiled warmly.

"Don't be nervous, little ones."

His voice was old yet gentle, like a clear mountain spring flowing, carrying a kind of inexplicable reassuring power.

"I am the Azure Emperor, and I am not a bad person."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Wanyun's expression changed drastically.

That aloof and detached face was filled with disbelief.

Her lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes churned with a stormy sea of ​​emotions.

"Qing...Qing Emperor?!"

Her voice was trembling, and her fingers unconsciously gripped Wang Long's sleeve tightly.

Wang Long noticed her unusual behavior, turned his head, and asked in a low voice.

"Wanyun, what's wrong? Is the Azure Emperor... very powerful?"

Xu Wanyun took a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart, her voice hoarse.

"Uncle Long, above the Grandmaster realm is the Saint realm."

"Above the Saint Realm is the Supreme Realm, above the Supreme Realm is the Heavenly Supreme, and the Heavenly Supreme is further divided into nine ranks."

"And above the Heavenly Supreme... lies the Emperor Realm."

She paused, her throat bobbing, before continuing.

"The number of Emperor-level experts in the five major domains combined is no more than five."

"Every Emperor Realm expert is an ancient monster who has lived for thousands of years and stands at the pinnacle of this world."

"With a raised hand, one can shatter stars; with a flick of the finger, one can destroy mountains and rivers."

Wang Long's pupils contracted slightly.

A powerhouse at the Emperor Realm is terrifying!

Xu Wanyun's gaze fell on the old man's phantom image, her beautiful eyes filled with awe and shock.

"I have seen some scattered descriptions of the Green Emperor in the ancient books of Wenxin Academy."

"He was one of the Great Emperors of the Human Race, named Xuanming."

"In that great war tens of thousands of years ago, the Azure Emperor was one of the strongest warriors of the human race."

"He single-handedly held off three Emperor-level powerhouses from the myriad races beyond the realm, fighting a bloody battle for hundreds of years."

"In the end, he killed two of the three extraterrestrial emperors and severely injured the other."

"But the Green Emperor also died from exhaustion."

Her voice grew softer and softer, filled with deep respect.

"So...so his grave is here..."

"This secret realm was not formed naturally at all. It must have been formed by the dissipation of the Azure Emperor's power after his fall."

After listening, Wang Long remained silent for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at the old man's phantom image again.

A new solemnity appeared in their eyes.

Wang Long straightened his back, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the Azure Emperor.

"Junior Wang Long greets Senior Qingdi."

His voice was steady and respectful, without a trace of flattery, only heartfelt reverence.

"Our predecessors fought valiantly for humanity, sacrificing their lives in battle. Though I am unworthy, I know that this is the true meaning of the word 'hero'!"

Whether before time travel or now.

Wang Long admires heroes who protect their country the most, and the Azure Emperor in front of him is a hero of the human race!

The Azure Emperor was slightly taken aback when he saw Wang Long's serious expression.

He then laughed.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a sense of relief that came from having experienced many hardships.

"It's all in the past, not worth mentioning."

His voice was very soft, and he waved his hand gently.

"Not many people remember what happened back then."

Wang Long raised his head and looked at the Azure Emperor, only to find that the Azure Emperor could actually converse with him fluently.

He asked tentatively.

"Senior...you still have self-awareness?"

The Green Emperor smiled and nodded.

"Just a wisp of a soul, barely clinging to life."

"When the seal loosens, I can occasionally sense some things from the outside world."

"But most of the time, it is asleep."

"In the past tens of thousands of years, only a few dozen people like you have been able to get this far."

The Azure Emperor didn't say anything more, he simply raised his hand and waved it gently.

The scene inside the palace changed in an instant.

The bluestone ground disappeared, replaced by a lush green bamboo forest.

The bamboo leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

A stone table and three stone stools appeared in the middle of the bamboo forest.

The stone table was laden with dishes.

Each dish was steaming hot and exuded an enticing aroma.

A pot of wine, three wine cups.

The wine is made from the finest osmanthus blossoms; its fragrance travels for miles as soon as the jar is opened.

The Azure Emperor materialized into human form and slowly sat down on the stone bench.

She looked up at Wang Long and invited him with a smile.

"Little one, come and sit down."

"It's been a long time since I've had a chat with anyone. Today, I'm fortunate to have this opportunity to have a couple of drinks with you."

Xu Wanyun looked at the dishes on the table and the pot of wine, a hint of hesitation flashing in her beautiful eyes.

These foods were created by the Azure Emperor using his power, or...?

She wasn't sure if she could eat it, nor was she sure if there was any danger.

Wang Long did not hesitate.

He took Xu Wanyun's hand, walked over, and plopped down on the stone bench.

Xu Wanyun sat there in a daze, feeling that Uncle Long was being too irrational at the moment.

What if there's some kind of conspiracy?

After all, people's hearts are fickle, and she had heard far too many stories of people being possessed.

Wang Long smiled, picked up the wine pot on the table, poured a cup for the Azure Emperor, and then poured one for himself.

The wine is clear and bright, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Wang Long picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

It tastes sweet upon entry, with a lingering aftertaste, and a warm current flows down the throat into the limbs and bones, leaving one feeling completely comfortable.

He put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.

The meat is tender and delicious!

"Fine wine! Fine food!"

Wang Long praised it, and he ate with great relish, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever.

It didn't feel like being in front of an Emperor-level expert; it felt more like having dinner with old friends in my own backyard.

The Azure Emperor was slightly taken aback by his appearance.

He immediately burst into hearty laughter.

The laughter grew louder and louder, echoing through the bamboo forest.

"Hahaha!"

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

The Azure Emperor picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, put the cup down, looked at Wang Long, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"Little one, aren't you afraid this old man has ulterior motives?"

Although Wang Long was an old man, he was indeed a little guy in front of this senior who had lived for ten thousand years.

Therefore, I did not feel uncomfortable with this title.

"I am an Emperor Realm cultivator. Even if I were just a remnant soul, it would be easy for me to possess you."

Wang Long picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"You were a hero who protected the human race. If you had any selfish motives, you wouldn't have fought to the death back then."

"We have fallen to this state due to the circumstances, not because our predecessors wished."

"If the senior wishes to possess the junior's body..."

Wang Long paused, picked up his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Then please do as you please, senior. Consider this my contribution to the human race."

He spoke of it casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Xu Wanyun, who was standing to the side, changed her expression instantly upon hearing these words.

"Uncle Dragon!"

Her voice carried a hint of anxiety, as if she wanted to say something.

Wang Long raised his hand to stop her.

"Wanyun, don't be nervous."

His voice was calm and steady.

"If you really wanted to harm us, you wouldn't need to go through all this trouble."

"With a single thought, we would both be reduced to ashes."

"Since you're treating us to drinks, it means you consider us guests."

"Guests should act like guests."

Wang Long filled Qingdi's cup again!

He raised his glass and said seriously!

"This junior respectfully greets you!"
