Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen and said, "I have thought of everything you said. The average level of Shuyi Kingdom is developing steadily, but the king has just taken office. He is young and impetuous and cannot tolerate any flaws. If the world is in his hands, it will only bring suffering to the people."
"The Warrior Nation emphasizes military might, but what the world needs is peace. Do you think a nation that reveres military might can lead the world forward?" Gu Liyan's eyes gleamed. "As for the Mighty Dragon Nation... although it is currently beset by internal and external troubles, it hasn't reached the point of open conflict yet, and its strength should not be underestimated. If its ruler is incompetent..."
—Then let's choose another one!
In the inn, Li Hao, who was recuperating from his injuries, was overjoyed, simply because he had a beautiful woman by his side.
"Young Master Li, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot." Xiao Lü approached with a bowl in her hand.
Li Hao nodded blankly, but before he could even make a move, Xiao Lü had already fed him to his lips. Li Hao was stunned, looking at Xiao Lü so close to his mouth, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

"Then what is she doing here instead of at the Xianzai Restaurant?"
"She's probably keeping a lover on the side!"
Li Hao panicked immediately. He struggled to his feet and was about to push open the door when he heard the men continue:
