The capital city.

The Imperial Palace.

Shangguan Hongyu frowned as she looked at the memorial in front of her, thinking to herself that her husband was a real troublemaker.

Go to the Western Sea and destroy it.

If we go to the South China Sea, we will destroy it.

Everyone in the world now calls Bian Lang a devil, and even Shangguan Hongyu somewhat agrees.

In fact, the conflict with Sihai had long since reached a point where it was irreconcilable.

However, due to the divine might of the Heavenly Realm, the Four Seas dared not take the initiative and only dared to do some minor things on the sea surface.

Shangguan Hongyu, however, had to deal with the covetous eyes of many countries and had no energy to manage the affairs of the world.

As a result, when Bian Lang returned, he caused unrest throughout the land.

The situation in the Western Sea was somewhat better; they only managed to blind one of Ao Qing's eyes.

Meanwhile, in the South China Sea, Bian Lang went even further, taking Ao Lan's life.

Just as Shangguan Hongyu was feeling a headache, Bian Lang suddenly walked in.

"You came back quickly this time," Shangguan Hongyu chuckled.

Bian Lang asked with a smile, "You should already know, right?"

"Why did you kill Ao Lan?" Shangguan Hongyu was very curious about this.

Bian Lang said, "The four Dragon Kings are plotting a rebellion and want to attack the capital. By eliminating a lone Dragon King, I have reduced a powerful enemy."

This sounds reasonable, but in the eyes of the ministers in the court, Bian Lang was just a brainless brute.

Before doing something, it seems like they never think it through; they just do whatever comes to mind.

"Husband, I'm curious, aren't you really afraid of the gods in heaven?" Shangguan Hongyu asked.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "Why should we be afraid of them?"

If I'm really going to be killed by a god, so be it.

Having lived for so long, Bian Lang is unlike those so-called immortals who haven't seen through life and death and are afraid of death.

“That’s right, it’s not scary at all.” Shangguan Hongyu was thinking about giving up the throne so she could travel the world with Bian Lang.

Having protected the people of this country for tens of thousands of years, Shangguan Hongyu felt she had done more than enough.

Moreover, nowadays, there are very loud voices against her.

But she didn't care and kept doing thankless work.

In fact, she had thought about giving up a long time ago, but she also knew that once she left, the tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves around her would swarm in and feast on her.

For the sake of those innocent and pitiful lives, she persisted even while bearing the infamy.

Now that she has reunited with Bian Lang, her past memories have returned, and she realizes what kind of life she truly wanted.

"Is it over?" Shangguan Hongyu stopped talking about business and asked with her head down and her face flushed.

Bian Lang shook his head.

"What's wrong with your corpse brother? We were reunited, but it just won't..." Shangguan Hongyu was quite annoyed.

Bian Lang said, "Based on my understanding of the Corpse Brother, it will probably take many more corpse-driving operations to end this."

"Husband, I plan to abdicate the throne." Shangguan Hongyu made this decision after careful consideration.

If she continued to sit in this seat, Shangguan Hongyu felt that she would go crazy sooner or later.

Every so often, Bian Lang would go and transport corpses, and the days when Bian Lang wasn't around were truly unbearable.

The mere thought of going to transport corpses with Bian Lang filled her with excitement and immense joy.

Bian Lang said, "This is no small matter; you need to think it through carefully."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Shangguan Hongyu asked in return.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "Of course, making yourself happy is the most important thing."

"The days we spent together were the happiest." Shangguan Hongyu now has no other desires but to return to the past.

Actually, going back to the way things were before is quite simple; all she has to do is step down from the throne.

Many people might think that she stayed in that position because she was unwilling to relinquish the power she held. (Reading...)

In truth, she knew very well that if she were strong enough, she would not be afraid of any power.

For example, Bian Lang. Even a place as powerful as the Four Seas Dragon Palace was no match for him.

Those who fear the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas would probably feel terrified just thinking about what Bian Lang did to the Dragon Palace.

If she didn't know Bian Lang, upon learning of his near-invincible existence, even with a vast empire, she wouldn't have the courage to confront him.

One person may not be able to defeat a country, but a powerful individual can easily slaughter a city.

If the city where the emperor resides is slaughtered, how can the emperor remain unharmed?

Bian Lang will not stop Shangguan Hongyu from doing whatever she wants.

A few days later, an urgent report reached the capital: the aquatic creatures of the four seas had gathered in the East Sea, intending to attack the capital.

These past few days, Shangguan Hongyu has been thinking about suitable candidates.

Actually, it doesn't matter who she chooses; as long as she leaves, this vast empire will inevitably fall into chaos.

At that time, all she can do is try her best to help the new emperor resolve this chaos.

Before she could even choose a suitable person, the aquatic creatures of the Four Seas started causing trouble.

The troubles of the four seas can probably only be resolved with her help from Bian Lang. It would be very unfair to leave this mess to the new emperor.

"Husband, let's resolve this matter and then roam the world together, shall we?" Shangguan Hongyu was troubled and could only find a moment of peace when she nestled in Bian Lang's arms.

Bian Lang said, "This matter arose because of me, so I will handle it."

“I know you are strong, but that is, after all, an alliance of the four sea creatures. It’s impossible for one person to do it alone…” Shangguan Hongyu knew in her heart that Bian Lang had the strength.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the flaming waves were already very powerful.
