Why did you let him go?

After Lin Feng left, Su Yunying looked at Shen Zhao with a puzzled and confused expression.

Shen Zhao smiled slightly: "Killing him like this is too easy for him. I don't want him to die so easily."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunying's expression softened: "Boss Shen, it seems you also dislike this guy?"

"It's hard not to feel disgusted by those pretentious, hypocritical people."

"Pfft—"

Su Yunying immediately smiled, reverting to her demure and gentle demeanor.

"Boss Shen, where have you been these past two months? We've been very worried about you."

"It's a long story. But what are you doing here instead of going to the Yun residence?"

“Something happened at the Yun residence. When we arrived, we couldn’t find a single person there.”

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Yes, it feels like everyone in the Yun family has vanished overnight, not even taking the Yun family's treasure vault with them."

Afterwards, we heard that the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm had opened, so we wanted to come here to see if we could meet up with you, Boss Shen.

Shen Zhao fell into deep thought, trying to find clues about the Yun family from his memories of the previous nine lifetimes.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't recall what accident had happened at the Yun residence at that time.

"Alright, that's fine too. From now on, the Yun family will be your home."

"ah?"

Su Yunying was somewhat puzzled.

Shen Zhao laughed and said, "Don't you want to be an empress? How can you be an empress without your own power?"

Su Yunying stuck out her tongue: "Actually, I don't want to be the empress for any power."

"When that day comes, you won't have a choice," Shen Zhao said. "Little girl, you must remember what the Empress's duties are."

When that day comes, the heavy responsibility on your shoulders will no longer be for yourself, but for all living beings under your rule; their lives and deaths will be in your hands.

Every step you take will determine their survival; you must be fully prepared.

Hearing Shen Zhao speak so earnestly, a hint of confusion and doubt flashed in Su Yunying's eyes.

After a long while, she cautiously tugged at Shen Zhao's sleeve: "Brother Shen, how about we just give up? I don't want to be that empress anymore. I think I'm more suited to be a lazy, good-for-nothing girl."

"Forget it? How can that be? I've invested so much in you, I don't want it to go down the drain like this. Come on, let's see what the heritage here is."

As he spoke, Shen Zhao approached the enormous statue and examined it closely.

"What did you see?"

"Um."

"What?"

"The statue looks a bit ugly and doesn't fit my aesthetic."

"..."

Su Yunying rolled her eyes and then wandered around the statue.

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Brother Shen, come quick! There's a strange chair here!"

As she spoke, Su Yunying prepared to sit down directly.

"Don't move!"

Shen Zhao reacted quickly and pulled Su Yunying back into his arms.

Unaware for a moment, Su Yunying pressed her face tightly against Shen Zhao's chest.

Hearing the vibrant heartbeat, Su Yunying's cheeks flushed instantly.

"Okay, stop it."

Just as Su Yunying was completely immersed in this "gentle embrace," Shen Zhao promptly stepped aside and went to the chair to examine it.

The chair was tightly locked to its four legs by four iron chains, and above the chains were four arms, each holding an iron chain, as if locking up a terrifying monster.

Instantly, Shen Zhao understood: "It's a good thing you didn't sit on it, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

"What do you mean?"

"This chair contains the remnant soul of an ancient figure, and it is definitely a product of my mother's being in a state of overlapping life and death quanta. Once someone sits on it, their body will be taken over."

"Possession? How terrifying."

Su Yunying covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Zhao thought for a moment, looked at the unconscious Yuwen Wuji whose limbs had been cut off, and suddenly had an idea.

He leaned down and whispered a few words in Su Yunying's ear, after which Su Yunying decisively took out the Lone Goose.

The next moment, Shen Zhao threw Yuwen Wuji onto a chair.

In an instant, the previously still statue began to shake violently, and the iron chains vibrated and hummed.

"Where am I? I... ah..."

A jet-black gas suddenly emanated from the statue's forehead, transforming into a ghostly face in the air and quickly disappearing into Yuwen Wuji's mind.

"No, I... save me..."

Yuwen Wuji struggled desperately, but because his hands and feet had been cut off, he could only helplessly cry out for help to Shen Zhao and the other man.

Gradually, his eyes turned bloodshot, his hair became stained with blood, and he became as terrifying as a ghost.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all four iron chains snapped at once.

Yuwen Wuji's voice changed at this moment: "Hehehe, hahaha, twenty thousand years, I have finally..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yunying stabbed him through the heart with a gun.

"You...you...how dare you..."

"You talk too much nonsense. I regret to inform you that you are the boss with the lowest presence in history!"

"I f***ing..."

Shen Zhao immediately added insult to injury.

The poor, unknown inheritor god who had just possessed the body only a few seconds ago, had his meaningless and unproductive life come to an end before he could even finish saying a single word after his rebirth.

With the death of the body-possessed person, Yuwen Wuji's body immediately vaporized, leaving behind a black jade tablet.

Shen Zhao gave Su Yunying a look, then stepped forward and took the jade pendant.

In the next instant, the contents of the jade tablet flooded into my mind like a tidal wave.

"Evil Emperor's Martial Arts Code."
