Chaotic World Book

Now recalling the period when I was the richest, it turned out to be the time just after leaving the Cui Family, when my father-in-law was generous enough to provide for my travels.

Yue Hongling looked at his expression and could guess about seventy to eighty percent, which was quite amusing. Who would have thought that Zhao Changhe, the mighty King Zhao of the Great Han, now ranking tenth on the Heavenly List, might have possessions that amounted to just a few pieces of broken silver, forever carrying a knife, a sword, a bow, and a drink. Whether he should be considered wealthy like the Four Seas or a pauper was uncertain.

Though he could have it whenever he wanted, it seems it doesn't matter, but he never even thought about wanting it. It truly proves that this man's heart has never considered his own private desires... If there's anything, it would be his only flaw of fickleness, and apart from that, Yue Hongling truly wonders if this guy is a saint.

Thinking this way, it seems that fickleness isn't a bad thing, at least it proves that he's still human. Yue Hongling sighed, her tense face relaxed, looking down while holding his hand, strolling through the light snow, whispering: "Why go anywhere... accompany me to see, your Jiangshan."

Zhao Changhe then said nothing, holding her hand and slowly walking down the streets of the Capital. Firecrackers sounded continuously from all directions, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was quite pleasant. Every household was decorated in red, looking very festive.

This was Zhao Changhe's third Spring Festival since his time travel.

The first Spring Festival was spent with Yue Hongling at the mountain stronghold; the second Spring Festival was already spent rushing during travels, missing it unknowingly. Originally, the third Spring Festival would be the same, but now he could fly... traveling in the morning to Beihai and in the evening to Cangwu, there were no more travel hardships. So for the third Spring Festival, he still held Yue Hongling's hand, walking through his own city.

Every person's smiling face on the road made Zhao Changhe feel very peaceful. Fighting battles throughout the North and South, bathing in blood till now, isn't it all for this?

Suddenly, he understood Huangfu Qing's behavior just now. It wasn't that her disposition had become gentle, but as the Vermilion Bird rebel and as "the girl who spent her youth in the Capital, Huangfu Qing", her position and mood were of course different. It was the joy of seeing her efforts bear fruit, where she found the meaning behind her battles.

"Hey... is that Yue Hongling?" Finally, a passerby saw the two walking in the snow, surprisingly recognizing Yue Hongling before recognizing Zhao King of their own.

Someone cautiously approached; Zhao Changhe's private moment with Yue Hongling was interrupted, he said irritably: "Mistaken identity! It's Yue Hongling from the mountain stronghold!"

"Zhao..." Someone finally recognized him, their steps paused but still gathered around: "Can King Zhao fly now? How were you in Chang'an yesterday and back here today?"

A Four Symbols Sect Member puffed their chest and said: "This is our Emperor Ye, the Divine! With the powers of God Demon, flying is no big deal!"

Zhao Changhe uttered "Uh" and instinctively wanted to find where the blind man was, just to hear others say: "Has King Zhao truly taken the position as Emperor Ye? We've always felt that it's unlikely."

More Four Symbols Sect Members beside commented: "Who could ascend to Emperor Ye if not King Zhao? When the Star River reflected, Four Symbols interacted, sun and moon shining together, not even Venerable could achieve it!"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

No, if I become Emperor Ye, let it be, but can you not use the term "ascend"... can't you feel there's already a Demon God's gaze covering you?

Speaking of first recognizing Yue Hongling, but once they recognized Zhao Changhe, it immediately became his main stage. Yue Hongling, beside him, tilted her head, finding it quite interesting, amusing that no one feared Zhao Changhe, neither his infamous "Bloodthirsty Shura" name nor his potent position as King Zhao. Even Four Symbols Sect Members dared to comment directly on their own "Divine".

How did this situation come about... In Yue Hongling's many years of Worldly Society experiences, this situation was really seen for the first time.

Everyone's naturalness also made Zhao Changhe unable to vent his frustration of having his moment interrupted, so he said: "Now past meets present, no more separation, the so-called powers of God Demons are merely new realms after the Secret Treasure, anyone can cultivate. I... as King, will establish certain methods, by then those who meet the conditions, such as military merits, can gain the path to cultivating in the Imperial Realm... whether you can fly will depend on everyone's own efforts."

People were stunned for a moment, then erupted into thunderous cheers: "Long live King Zhao!"

Some even ran off immediately, seemingly to go back and tell their family the news.

Sure enough, the previous judgment was correct, giving people this ladder to advancement was no less than opening education, even more important in a sense.

Once truly implemented, not only would people within the Great Han migrate here, but also people from other places might come flooding in, this truly would be Heaven's heroes all gathered... Later, I must discuss how to engage the details with Chichi and Wanzhuang.

"Alright, alright." Zhao Changhe waved to stop the excited crowd, smiling and pulling Yue Hongling's hand: "I say, folks, can we have a good stroll? Haven't you heard I'm the Bloodthirsty Shura who kills people?"

Everyone laughed and indeed made way: "Now, is Heroine Yue truly King Zhao's Princess?"

Yue Hongling gave Zhao Changhe a half-smile, her eyes glancing over, but she didn't refute.

"Then..." Several in the crowd uttered "then," but several kept their mouths shut.

All wanted to ask, "Then what about Your Majesty?" "Then what about Head Tang?" But no one dared to ask, worried about asking the wrong thing, each felt awkward.

The scene became inexplicably silent due to this, Zhao Changhe knowing the reason, felt his face burning with embarrassment, looked down, pulling Yue Hongling away quickly.
