260: Unstoppable! The Great Xia Dynasty has unified the Central Plains!

Wen Tianlai Theater, Heaven Character Number One Private Room.

Su Chen lay sprawled out on a soft couch made of Thousand-year-old snow fox fur, feeling every pore of his body groaning with "decay" and "depravity."

To his left, a slender-waisted Nine Nether Demonic Cult maid was carefully feeding a peeled ice-crystal jade grape to his lips.

To his right, another voluptuous maid was massaging his thighs with just the right amount of pressure.

[Heavenly!]

[This is what fucking life is all about!]

[What bullshit war, what world trends, all of you get lost for This Divine Son!]

Su Chen squinted his eyes, enjoying this decadent salted fish life, his heart full of emotion.

These days, while Ji Hongxue was fighting for her life outside, he was lying flat safely in the rear.

As it turns out, as long as I lie flat enough, no blade can cut me.

Just then, the door to the private box was pushed open with a "bang," and Liu Ruyan's enchanting figure rushed in like a whirlwind, her face wearing a look of extreme, frantic excitement.

"Su Chen! Su Chen! Big news!"

Su Chen didn't even bother to lift an eyelid.

[What big news could there be? Don't tell me that career-obsessed Ji Hongxue actually wiped out the Jiuli Divine Dynasty?]

Liu Ruyan leaned close to his ear, her breath like orchids, with a smile in her voice that she couldn't hide.

"The Great Xia Divine Dynasty has won!"

"Just yesterday, Ten Thousand Demon City fell. The Jiuli Demon Emperor committed suicide in the palace. The entire Central Province now belongs to that little Empress!"

Su Chen's movement of biting the Spirit fruit paused slightly.

[Holy shit? Such high efficiency?]

[I thought she'd have to fight for at least another year or so.]

Su Chen's heart was in turmoil, but his face remained that of a half-dead salted fish, only letting out a lazy "Oh."

"I know."

Seeing him so unbothered while others were anxious for him, Liu Ruyan was so annoyed she pinched his waist.

"Aren't you even a little excited? That's your Fiancée! She is now the sole ruler of the entire Central Province! An Empress whose every step makes the whole continent tremble!"

Su Chen dodged, baring his teeth in pain.

[Excited my ass! The more powerful she becomes, the more dangerous my situation as her fiancé gets!]

[Now the whole world knows I'm hers. If she ever gets a crazy idea and wants to make me give my all for the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, where would I go to cry?]

[No, it seems this salted fish life is coming to an end. I need to quickly plan an escape.]

Su Chen was calculating in his heart, not noticing Ye Linghan sitting not far away, drinking alone. Her Phoenix eyes, burning with dark red demonic flames, glanced at him with a half-smile.

As if she had seen through all his little schemes... At the same time.

Great Xia Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Ji Hongxue, dressed in a golden Dragon robe, stood silently before a massive Territorial sand table.

On the sand table, the crimson territory representing the Jiuli Divine Dynasty had been wiped away, entirely replaced by the brilliant gold symbolizing Great Xia.

Central Province was unified.

She had achieved a great feat that none of the Previous emperors had ever accomplished.

This glory was enough to make her name go down in history and be remembered for eternity.

But there wasn't a hint of joy on her face.

Those Phoenix eyes, as deep as the starry sky, just stared blankly at that golden territory, as a figure in snow-white clothes with a lazy smile uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

It was Su Chen.

Without him, none of this would exist.

It was he who, when she was most lost, pointed her in the right direction with that absurd diary.

It was he who, when she was most helpless, stood before her and the entire Great Xia in that shameless way.

These days she had been campaigning across the land and strategizing, but her heart was constantly worrying about the man who had been taken away by Ye Linghan.

She knew he and those two crazy women were rehearsing all sorts of farces to humiliate her in the theater.

She knew the whole city was laughing at her.

But she couldn't feel even a bit of anger.

Every time she heard news from the scouts that he was safe and sound, her tense heart would find a moment of peace.

She realized she seemed to have been poisoned.

Poisoned by something called "Su Chen," a sickness that had seeped into her marrow, with no cure.

Ji Hongxue slowly reached out her jade hand, her fingertips gently brushing over the new golden territory, her gaze becoming incredibly gentle and burning.

"Su Chen..."

She murmured softly.

"This vast land of ten thousand miles is as you wished."

"I have conquered it for you."

She slowly straightened up, and in those gentle Phoenix eyes, the domineering light of an emperor was rekindled!

What use is mere spoken longing?

He is her man!

This world is her world!

She wanted the whole world to know who his only home was!

Ji Hongxue turned abruptly and issued an order to the attendants waiting outside the hall that shook the entire Divine Dynasty!

"Pass down my decree!"

Her voice, cold and majestic, resounded throughout the entire palace.

"Divine Master Protecting the Nation Su Chen, with his flawless strategy and world-shaking talent, has achieved unparalleled merit in unifying the Central Province for our Great Xia!"

"In three days, the Imperial City will hold a grand Victory celebration!"

"I, taking this vast land of ten thousand miles as a congratulatory gift..."

Ji Hongxue paused, her voice like clashing gold and jade, each word carrying immense weight.

"Welcome the Divine Master back to the Imperial City!"

"And rule the world by my side!"
