This was the first time Xiao Ying'er had been so close to a man.
And he was a man I'd only known for a few days, someone I'd just gotten to know.
Although she resisted and pushed Liu Fu back several times, she was eventually pulled into his arms by him.
At first she struggled, but then Xiao Ying'er felt so warm.
Lying on Liu Fu's chest, I could clearly hear his strong heartbeat, which was incredibly warm and gave me an indescribable sense of security.
Besides the soft scent of the sachet, Liu Fu also carried a faint, masculine aroma, which Xiao Ying'er found particularly pleasant. Gradually, she no longer felt awkward and instead snuggled even tighter into Liu Fu's arms...
No sooner had Xiao Ying'er entered Liu Fu's bedroom than all the spies sent by the Liao Emperor vanished.
Vanishing into thin air...
When the Liao emperor received the news, he sent out spies again.
But these spies have also disappeared without a trace, leaving no clue whatsoever.
Three secret agents were sent in succession, but all three disappeared without a trace. The Liao emperor found the situation troublesome and did not send any more secret agents to monitor Liu Fu, because he knew that all of this was in vain.
The woman he loved betrayed him, his most beloved son stabbed him in the back, and his lawfully wedded wife tried to poison him.
After executing these three men, the Liao emperor, now middle-aged, inevitably felt a sense of desolation in his life.
Who could have imagined that the palace scandal that they had tried so hard to cover up would somehow spread throughout the streets of the Liao Kingdom?
"My lord, what does this notice say? Can you read it to us?"
The people of Liaodong gathered at the notice board and, seeing the words posted there, assumed it was another new notice issued by the government.
Those who could read immediately read it aloud:
"There was an emperor who bestowed the title of concubine upon a beautiful woman and doted on her immensely; the emperor's eldest son was the crown prince, and although this beautiful concubine was not the crown prince's biological mother, she was still his stepmother."
"Unexpectedly, one night, when the emperor went to find his beautiful concubine for pleasure, he found the crown prince lying naked on the bed, making merry with the concubine in the palace (details omitted here). The emperor was furious, imprisoned the crown prince, and banished the concubine to the cold palace to await death."
"However, the Empress, in order to save the Crown Prince, attempted to poison the Emperor. When the truth came out, the cuckolded Emperor was furious. He ordered the Empress to be executed, the Crown Prince to be hanged, and the beautiful concubines to be killed. The three of them vanished into thin air and their whereabouts were never known."
"If you ask which country this happened in, it was in the Liao Dynasty."
"That crown prince is none other than Yelü Hongqi, the cuckolded emperor is none other than the current emperor of Liao, the beautiful concubine is none other than the renowned Consort Wu, and the empress is none other than the current emperor of Liao, who has bestowed upon her the title of Mother of the Nation..."
At first, the literate person read the notice with great interest, especially the various details on the notice, which made the reader blush and wish he could rush home immediately to have sex with his wife on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Unexpectedly, when the story came to the point where it involved the current emperor, the crown prince, Consort Wu, and the empress, the person who had been reading aloud just moments before turned pale with fright, quickly stopped speaking, and ran away.
The notices were posted everywhere, and with word of mouth among the people of Liaodong, this sensational event quickly became known to everyone.
Even in the Liao capital, all the civil and military officials who were originally kept in the dark were secretly alarmed when they learned of this.
"No wonder! The Crown Prince has disappeared without a trace, Consort Wu is nowhere to be found, and even the Empress, who is second only to the Emperor, has suddenly become a taboo in the palace. It seems the rumors are true!"
This incident caused a huge uproar, but what was even more astonishing was actually the person who leaked this palace secret.
Because at the bottom of each notice, there was a line of very eye-catching red text:
"He never changed his name or surname, he was Liu, the prince of the Later Han Dynasty."
It's that Liu prince from the Later Han Dynasty again!
This caused an uproar in the Liao Kingdom, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people!
"Ding! The notice posted by the host has sparked heated discussions among the Liao people and spread throughout the Liao Kingdom. The host's fame has grown to an alarming level, causing a sensation. The host is hereby rewarded with reputation points!"
"What an auspicious number!" Liu Fu jumped up excitedly when he saw the reward notification.
Liu Fu
[Position]: Prince (First Rank)
[Reputation Value]: Points
[Mall Points]: 4931 points
Number of breeding troughs: 6 (6)
[Number of beasts in the army]: 240
His reputation instantly surpassed one million?
Now that he could upgrade three exotic beasts, Liu Fu immediately advanced the Silverback Gorilla and the Lion King.
"Ding! You have spent some reputation points to upgrade the lion from the molting stage to a one-star beast!"
"Ding! You have spent some reputation points to upgrade the Silverback Gorilla from the metamorphosis stage to a one-star alien beast!"
"Ding! Your lion and silverback gorilla have completed their advancement and undergone a huge change in appearance. Go check it out!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You can now recruit a new army of ferocious beasts. Go check it out!"
Liu Fu immediately entered the animal breeding ranch.
He was taken aback when he saw the silverback gorilla, which was as big as a small mountain.
To be precise, it should now be called King Kong!
At this point, King Kong had reached a height of 12 meters, equivalent to a three-and-a-half-story building, and was able to walk upright.
King Kong stood before Liu Fu, its entire body covered in jet-black fur. Combined with its incredibly strong physique, it was like a colossal creature, towering over Qiongqi by more than half a body length.
Looking at the lion again, it has evolved into the mythical beast Suanni, and its fur has changed from brownish-yellow to crimson.
This creature has two horns on its head, is nine meters tall, and over ten meters long. It exudes a scorching energy, and even if you walk around it from a distance, you can feel the terrifying temperature emanating from the Suanni.
Liu Fu suddenly had a bold idea: in the future, he would release the Suanni (a mythical lion-like creature) in winter, and the whole courtyard would be as warm as summer, saving the need for a stove.
Upon close comparison, the Suanni and Qiongqi are stronger and larger than the Qiongqi, but the Suanni cannot fly.
King Kong is the largest of all the mythical beasts.
Most importantly, King Kong can use tools just like a human, which is the most terrifying thing. Once King Kong is equipped with weapons, how terrifying will he become?
Liu Fu suddenly thought of King Kong from the movie Blue Star, who possessed an enormous axe. Perhaps he could make one for his own King Kong.
Liu Fu didn't sit idle; he immediately recruited 120 lions, each over 5 meters long.
They also recruited 120 silverback gorillas that are 3 meters tall.
Liu Fu now possesses four one-star exotic beasts and an army of 480 ferocious beasts.
He suddenly wanted to send out his army of ferocious beasts to test their quality.
Unexpectedly, the very next day, the rats brought back a message: the Later Jin and Japan were going to form an alliance with the Liao Dynasty.
Therefore, the Later Jin sent a very beautiful princess to marry the fourth prince of the Liao Dynasty, thus forming a marriage alliance with the Liao Dynasty.
The daughter of the Japanese emperor, a princess named Zhaoyue, was also to travel to the Liao Kingdom to marry the fifth prince of the Liao emperor.
The Liao emperor's idea was simple: to make his third son the crown prince, to marry Xiao Ying'er, and then to marry the three brothers—the princess of the Later Jin and the princess of Japan—to form an alliance and become brotherly nations.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Liu Fu's newly recruited army of ferocious beasts was looking for a place to use their skills.
