Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 944 - 914: Don't Fear, I'm Here (Two Chapters in One)_2

"You, you are the dignified Empress!" Song Ningran shouted incredulously.

"This is the choice you made me take." The Tang Empress suddenly smiled, incomparably bright, saying, "I also want to see if your little lover is truly as powerful as you claim, such a minor Saint, an ant-like existence, and in your eyes, he is somehow better than my son Ming Tang, truly quite unbelievable."

After speaking, the Tang Empress turned and left. Upon exiting the courtyard, she gently raised her hand, pinching a spell, imposing layers of restrictions around the void of the courtyard, revealing a large formation hidden within the void, the azure light dazzling!

...

After leaving the courtyard where Song Ningran and others were confined, the Tang Empress walked out of Xuan Ning Palace, heading to Yong Prince Mansion, the residence of the Third Prince, Li Mingtang.

The Great Emperor of Southern Tang suppressing the world, has not appointed a Crown Prince. The Tang Emperor Li Zhengyang has thirty-six children, thirty-four sons, and two daughters. All sons are appointed princes evenly without favoritism.

Li Mingtang did not enjoy cultivating, but since childhood had martial arts lessons to practice. His instructors were the strongest in Southern Tang, the weakest being those standing at the pinnacle of Saint Kings, and he had daily medicinal baths and meals, with all materials being top-grade Spiritual Medicine.

In such an environment, even though he was negligent in cultivation since childhood, only dealing with his lessons, after growing for over a hundred years, he still had the cultivation of the seventh heaven of Great Saint, although his combat ability was relatively weak.

When the Tang Empress arrived at Yong Prince Mansion, Li Mingtang was enjoying the scenery and painting in the courtyard. Seeing his mother, he quickly put down his brush and ink, and went up to greet her.

"Mother comes, why didn't you notify in advance, so I could come out and greet you? Now it seems I have been disrespectful." Li Mingtang said with a cheerful smile. He had a good relationship with his mother, speaking casually, but still respecting her in rules and etiquette.

"I just communicated with the Dragon Girl." The Tang Empress came to Li Mingtang's painting desk, looked at his painting, finding it was a landscape map, smiled and said, "These mountains and rivers are nice, but missing something."

"Missing a dragon." Li Mingtang smiled slightly, saying, "I know mother's intention, wanting me to marry the Dragon Girl and have descendants, then it will be a unique constitution, and my influence among the princes will greatly increase."

"And what is your intention?" The Tang Empress looked into Li Mingtang's eyes, saying, "I know you love literature and painting, have no intention of martial combat, nor of power struggles. Do you not blame me for forcing you?"

"What Mother does, is all for my good." Li Mingtang said sincerely, with a smile, "Actually this does not affect me. Although I have never seen the Dragon Girl, I trust Mother's judgment that she must be as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, no matter what, I have gained.

And she will birth descendants for me, her divine soul and True Dragon bloodline will naturally be inherited by my descendants. Then she will inevitably vanish, having no impact on me in the future. The Dragon Girl is merely a tool Mother chose for me, how can it be considered forcing?"

"As you understand this, I am relieved." The Tang Empress nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "However, you are to marry tomorrow, the Dragon Girl still can't forget her little lover in the Central Heavenly Domain, what do you think should be done?"

"Although the Dragon Girl is just a tool, she is to become my woman, and naturally her heart cannot have another man." Li Mingtang's face darkened, saying, "I trouble Mother to act, capture that young beast, and torture him to death before the Dragon Girl."

"Let him first watch you and the Dragon Girl bow and become married, consummate the ceremony, then say." The Tang Empress smiled lightly and said, "On the wedding day, there should be some spectacle to enliven the event, while feasting guests, I will capture her little lover."

"Is Mother bringing the Thousand Worlds Void-Breaking Divine Lock to Yong Prince Mansion for the wedding?" Li Mingtang was somewhat surprised and said, "Such an item is a quasi-Immortal Artifact, Father won't allow it to leave Xuan Ning Palace at such a time."

"This treasure is in Xuan Ning Palace and belongs to me. Even Emperor Zhengyang must listen to me in Xuan Ning Palace." The Tang Empress waved gently, smiling, "Don't think too much, just watch the show when the time comes."

"Then I thank Mother for her grace." Li Mingtang respectfully bowed to the Tang Empress, a faint smile on the corners of his lips, saying, "I will follow Mother's arrangements."

"Very good." The Tang Empress nodded slightly and then left Yong Prince Mansion with a group of palace maids.

After the Tang Empress's departure.

The courtyard of Yong Prince Mansion was left with just Li Mingtang. He looked in the direction of the Tang Empress's departure, sighed softly for a long time without speaking, just standing there, not moving.

"Mother, I have never intended to compete for anything. Father's Great Emperor might dominantly suppresses the universe, even if we princes live to the end of our lives, he may not abdicate, what are you fighting for?

It's just a pity for the Dragon Girl and her lover, originally innocent people, to suffer this calamity, but I have no way, I only hope you have better luck in your next life."

He has never liked strife since childhood, likewise a person who accepts fate without resistance, never opposing his mother's will, naturally following her arrangements for marriage and offspring.
