Chapter 318 Considering the Successor

The optical computer keeps beeping.

Hongkong finally couldn't stand the noise anymore and turned on his computer to check.

Only after seeing this did he know what Ji Wanyi had gone to deal with.

He just looked up at Ji Wanyi with a little surprise and said nothing.

He ignored those who asked him questions, turned off the computer and continued doing his own thing.

After Ji Wanyi finished cooking and they were eating together, Hongkong asked, "Wanyi, do you want to be the emperor of the empire?"

Ji Wanyi looked up in surprise. She had never had such an idea before.

"I don't want to." Ji Wanyi answered decisively.

As for power and status, it is enough for her family to have them, and she does not want to be so ambitious.

"But you have this need." Hongkong nodded and continued.

"Firstly, you are my only child now, and the burden of the empire will definitely fall on your shoulders."

"Secondly, it's the current conflict between StarCraft and Blue Star."

"If you were just my adopted daughter, the Empire would be unable to help you. It's even possible that some of the Empire's nobles would join the forces targeting Blue Star."

"Only if you become the emperor and fully control the power of the empire can you restrain the people within the empire. Only then can you mobilize the power of the empire to help Blue Star."

"Although I can help you, I announced my retirement a long time ago. If I were to return to the throne because of this incident, it might further intensify the interstellar people's views on Blue Star."

"You have to do it yourself, including how to sit in that seat."

Hongkong understood Ji Wanyi's thoughts. He knew that Ji Wanyi didn't want to be involved in any power, but she might not be able to choose her own future.

"Let's talk about it later. It hasn't come to that yet."

Ji Wanyi sighed.

"That seat is not comfortable to sit in. If I go up, it will be another problem how to get down." Ji Wanyi supported his chin, feeling extremely worried.

"You haven't even gone up yet, and you're already thinking about how to get down?" Hongkong glared at her unhappily.

"It's not time yet. Let's talk about it when the time comes." Ji Wan continued to repeat incoherently, taking a bite of the beef on the chopsticks.

"You're right, but I think you could be prepared, especially regarding the heir."

"Since you want to abdicate early, you must ensure that your successor is capable of taking over when you abdicate."

"Especially since you are still a minor, you can neither give birth to an heir yourself nor adopt someone else."

"But you can have your family members give birth to them. For example, your eldest brother, Ji Yingchen, is smart and very strategic in both business and governing the country. He also has good talent."

"If his child is raised by him from a young age and grows up in the interstellar space, he can become your heir without any unexpected problems."

Hongkong had even made plans for her.

His words left Ji Wanyi dumbfounded.

His brother hasn't even been in a relationship yet, but Hongkong has already set his sights on his child, who he doesn't even have yet.

"It's not a good idea to plot against him like this, and my eldest brother looks like he's destined to be lonely for the rest of his life."

Although he said so, Ji Wanyi had already started to think about it.

"Actually, even if your eldest brother doesn't have children, your second brother can also do it. But I selfishly hope that the person who inherits the throne will be related to you by blood."

Hongkong continued.

Ji Wan nodded slightly.

Now Ji Lingxuan is also learning how to use her special abilities. Judging from how much her second brother dotes on that child, he will definitely not hand Ji Lingxuan over to Ji Wanyi.

Moreover, Ji Yingchen dotes on his only niece very much and would not agree.

"There's no rush about this. It's still early anyway." Ji Wanyi said nonchalantly.

Hongkong nodded and said nothing more.

Anyway, he only needs to pass the throne to his only daughter. As for how Ji Wanyi's throne will be passed on, he doesn't need to worry about it.

After dinner, Ji Wanyi and Ji Yingchen had a video call.

Ji Wanyi told Ji Yingchen the results of his discussion with Hongkong.

The other party was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I can give you my son, but not my daughter."

This was Ji Yingchen's last stubbornness.

His daughter should be held in the palm of his hand, so how could she carry such a heavy burden?

"Brother, you..." Ji Wanyi was even more shocked that he actually had plans to have a child.

"Not yet, but it should be put on the plan." Ji Yingchen replied immediately.

"Brother, there's no rush. Don't force yourself, and don't hurt my future sister-in-law. If you're looking for someone to marry, make sure you find someone you like and who also likes you."

Ji Wanyi was a little worried. After all, Ji Yingcheng's personality was a bit like the domineering CEO in novels.

She was worried that there might be some plots that only appeared in novels.

"I know, don't worry." Ji Yingchenchen was also very busy, so she hung up the phone after she said that.

It would be strange if Ji Wan felt relieved.

She immediately video-called her second brother.

When the video was connected, Ji Huaiying was at home, and Youyue and Xiao Lingxuan were also there.

Ji Wanyi also told the two of them his opinion.

"Don't mention it, it's a shame that Big Brother's brain doesn't leave behind an heir to pass it on."

"If his descendants can inherit his wisdom, they can indeed help you."

"Let him have more children. One will inherit the empire for you, one will manage Blue Star, and one will take care of the family. Our little Lingxuan can just sit back and relax without having to do anything."

Ji Huaiying had a nice idea. He wanted to let Ji Yingchen's children do all the dirty work, and his own children would enjoy the life.

"Is this the point?" Ji Wanyi shouldn't have had any hope in him. It was simply talking at cross purposes.

"Don't worry, we will watch over you and make sure Big Brother doesn't do anything wrong."

It was Youyue who understood Ji Wanyi's meaning better and glared at Ji Huaiying.

It sounds simple, but Ji Yingchen is not going to give birth to the child by herself, so she still has to consider the opinion of her future sister-in-law.

Let’s put the issue of the heir aside for now. She is still the heir now.

It's still almost twenty years away from the universal standard of adulthood in the interstellar world.

If nothing unexpected happens, she plans to let Ling Jiu hold on for another hundred years, so there's still time.

Ji Wanyi completely put this matter aside.

Now she needs to consider Isis, a bomb that may explode at any time.

Ultimately, it’s because my own strength is not strong enough.

During this time out, Hongkong's energy has been almost digested.

They planned to continue going in to absorb energy.

Because Blue Star was still being closely watched by many forces, Ji Wanyi did not dare to disappear too completely. She and Hongkong were in seclusion in the underground palace, but in fact they had already returned to the interior of the Fu Ruo Sea through the space teleporter.

The space teleporter was not turned off, and Wei Guo was left outside to watch over the Star Network and Ji Wanyi's account. If anything happened, the robot would be sent in through the space teleporter to find them immediately.
