Chapter 301 The Past of the Old Emperor
"Emperor, long time no see. How come you thought of me?" The elderly woman in the rocking chair chuckled, stood up and saluted Jiang Li.
Jiang Li quickly held the old woman and said, "Senior Yu Jue, please don't embarrass me. I am just reminiscing about the past as a junior."
Five hundred years ago, Jiang Li called the Old Emperor to punish the Southern Dragon Clan. The old woman named Yu Jue was the leader of the Mermaid Clan at that time.
Jiang Li still remembered how charming and graceful this Senior Yu Jue was. His every frown and expression could attract men's hearts and he was the most beautiful person in the South China Sea.
I never thought that after five hundred years, Senior Yu Jue would have aged to such an extent.
Jiang Li could see that Senior Yu Jue was in the Spirit Transformation Stage and still had several hundred years to live. Logically, this shouldn't be her image. She should be a beautiful middle-aged woman or a pretty girl.
A cultivator's appearance is related to his mentality. It seems that Senior Yu Jue has suffered a blow.
"I never thought that the little fellow who only knew how to look for the Old Emperor would now become the guardian of Jiuzhou. Time is merciless." When Senior Yu Jue saw Jiang Li, he seemed to think of someone and his words were full of emotion.
Jiang Li also sighed: "I didn't expect that the old emperor who lived a lonely life would have descendants."
Senior Yu Jue’s expression froze.
Jiang Li continued, "Senior Yu Jue, if I am not mistaken, the current clan leader should be the daughter of the Old Man Emperor, and Yu Xiaomeng is the granddaughter of the Old Man Emperor."
Senior Yu Jue thought of Jiang Li's cultivation, and then he felt relieved and shook his head gently: "After all, I can't hide it from you. Yes, Emperor Lu and I have a daughter."
The previous generation’s emperor’s surname was Lu.
"It is true."
Jiang Li was not surprised by this answer. He used his spiritual sense to discover that Yu Xiaomeng and her mother had not only the blood of the mermaids but also the blood of the Old Emperor flowing in their bodies.
They are the descendants of the Old Emperor.
Jiang Li thought he had seen it wrong. After all, in his impression, the old emperor was not interested in women and rarely smiled. He didn't look like he had someone he liked.
Now it seems that he may have only seen one side of the Old Emperor.
"Five hundred years ago, I fell in love with Emperor Lu, especially when he helped our mermaids clear obstacles, consolidate our position, and stopped us from being bullied. I fell in love with him completely."
"Emperor Lu Ren also had feelings for me. We fell in love with each other, and one night..."
"Afterwards, he said he wanted to marry me, but I refused."
"Why?" Jiang Li was puzzled. There was no rule that the Emperor of Mankind could not get married.
The old woman chuckled, with a hint of bitterness on her lips: "Because Emperor Lu is too emotional, or he likes me too much."
"He once whispered in my ear that he didn't want to fight the demon anymore and wanted to stay with me forever."
"With him by my side, who will protect Kyushu?"
"You were just a child in the Nascent Soul stage at that time, not the invincible Mahayana stage."
Jiang Li was silent. In history, there was a Human Emperor who couldn't leave his wife and children at home and didn't want to fight desperately, which resulted in him not fighting with all his strength. Seeing that the extraterritorial demon was about to wreak havoc in Jiuzhou, it was the other two people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage who fought with all their lives and burned up their lifespans to kill the demon.
No one noticed it at the time, as everyone thought that the Human Emperor had tried his best. Only he himself knew that it was his cowardice and retreat that killed his two fellow Taoists.
If he fought desperately, perhaps he and his two fellow Taoists would be able to kill the demon at the cost of being seriously injured.
The Human Queen lived half her life in regret, and eventually let the Nine Provinces Earth Veins choose a new Human Emperor, and she ended her own life.
This matter is rarely known to many people. It was Commander Liu who told Jiang Li that she became the Queen.
"At that time, I told Emperor Lu Ren that I was having sex with you only to repay your kindness in teaching the Southern Dragon Clan a lesson. I have no feelings for you, so please don't use this kindness to blackmail me."
"After that, he never came to the mermaid tribe again, and he didn't even know that he had descendants."
"Does Commander Liu know about this?"
"He knew, and he often sent us resources and took care of us. He also knew that Emperor Lu had descendants. I begged him not to tell anyone else, including Emperor Lu."
"Later, Commander Liu told me that he told Emperor Lu about this matter before he died, and Emperor Lu left with a smile on his face."
Emperor Lu Ren had a hidden injury during his battle with the extraterritorial demon, and the injury recurred more than three hundred years ago. He died very quickly. Jiang Li did not see the Old Emperor for the last time, as it was Commander Liu who sent him away.
Jiang Li saw that Senior Yu Jue, who was once the most beautiful woman in the South China Sea, was now so old that he looked terrible. He was probably heartbroken after hearing the news of the death of the Old Emperor.
"Does your daughter know her origins?"
The old woman shook her head gently: "I only told her that her father was a great hero and a cultivator who was unrivaled. There was no other man in the whole of Kyushu who was better than him. Maybe she had already guessed it."
Jiang Li felt that perhaps Senior Yu Jue couldn't tell whether her feelings for the Old Emperor were love or admiration.
After all, she always calls the Old Emperor Lu Ren Huang instead of a more intimate name.

"These are all matters of the older generation, so don't take them to heart. You don't have to worry about facing the same situation as me. Someone likes you but is afraid of affecting the battle and doesn't express their feelings. After all, with your skills, you are more than enough to protect Kyushu."
"Been taught a lesson."
Jiang Li bowed to the old woman. He didn't expect that he and the mermaids had such a connection.
If I hadn't called the Old Emperor over, perhaps what happened later wouldn't have happened.
Things in this world are unpredictable, everything is fate.
After Jiang Li left, the old woman squinted her eyes, lay in the rocking chair, and rocked gently. She didn't know what she remembered, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Human Emperor." The current leader of the mermaid tribe found Jiang Li.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Li spoke in a gentle tone. He had always refused the gift from the chief of the mermaid tribe because he guessed that the chief was the only daughter of the Old Emperor.
"I have an unwelcome request, please help me, Emperor Jiang."
"But it's okay. I will definitely help you if I can."
"It's like this. Senior Changcun Immortal Weng borrowed a book from our clan two thousand years ago. It was left by our ancestor who ascended to the immortal world."
The mermaids' talent for cultivating immortals is not very high, but in history there have been some extremely gifted people who broke through the shackles of their bloodlines and ascended to the fairyland.
"Senior Changcun Xianweng has never returned it. Is it possible that he has forgotten about it?"
"I would like to ask the Human Emperor to remind Senior Changcun Xianweng." The leader of the mermaid tribe said hurriedly, "Of course, if he hasn't finished reading, he can continue reading."
"I'll talk to the Immortal." Jiang Li agreed happily. It was just a small matter.
Jiang Li came to Qi Sha Dao Zi again and encouraged him, especially reminding him to be kind to Yu Xiao Meng. Qi Sha Dao Zi didn't understand what he meant, but nodded anyway.
What Jiang Li reminded him of was exactly what he wanted to do.
Jiang Li also gave Yu Xiaomeng some advice, pointing out her shortcomings in cultivation, and told her not to focus too much on bloodline cultivation, as cultivating demons does not only rely on the bloodline of ancestors.
Yu Xiaomeng was very excited to get the guidance from the Human Emperor.
She felt that Jiang Li gave her guidance out of consideration for Qi Sha Dao Zi.
