The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 456 I'm really afraid of her!

The young emperor asked, "Why did Sister Shen ask me for military power?"

Shen Wen said, "Of course, I have military power in my hands, so there's no need to panic! Your Majesty! I live in constant fear every day. I've thought about it, and it's probably because I don't have military power or a high position of authority. Your Majesty! You wouldn't just want to take my body and not take responsibility for me, would you? Are you going to leave me to fend for myself when a crisis comes one day?"

The young emperor was puzzled. He said, "Why do you think that, sister? You're right next to the Emperor, who would be so blind as to dare to harm someone close to me?"

Shen Wen said, "There are many! All three thousand beauties in the harem see me as a thorn in their side, and they have probably already planned a thousand schemes to kill me. Your Majesty, are you too naive or am I too stupid? I thought of this a long time ago."

Upon hearing her words, the young emperor's eyes softened with amusement. He said, "Since you have such concerns, then I will dismiss all the beauties in the harem. Although there are only about ten, not three thousand, they are all women I have never laid a finger on. To put your mind at ease, I will immediately have them all sent back to their own homes. What do you say, sister?"

Shen Wen immediately exclaimed, "Nothing good!"

The young emperor looked at her, puzzled.

Shen Wen hurriedly said, "Having three thousand beauties in the harem is a grand display for an emperor. How can you do that? From ancient times to the present, have you ever seen an emperor who went to such lengths? It's utterly disgraceful! Besides, if you really did that, wouldn't you be setting me up? Three thousand beauties in the harem are there to continue His Majesty's lineage. If this gets out, and His Majesty is blamed for not having three thousand beauties in the harem to continue the lineage, and future historians investigate and find out it's me, wouldn't I become known as the most jealous and wicked concubine in prehistoric times? My dear brother! What are you thinking?"

This time, the young emperor really couldn't help but laugh.

The more he thought about what Shen Wen had just said, the funnier he found it. So his laughter came in fits and starts, until he was almost doubled over with laughter.

Shen Wen couldn't help but gently push the young emperor and said, "Stop laughing. I'm talking to you about serious matters. I'm asking you for military power, are you going to give it to me or not?"

The young emperor stopped laughing, but his hand naturally wrapped around Shen Wen's waist. He said, "I'll give it to you! I won't lie to you. Let alone some military power, I'd even give you the whole country. But my military power isn't so easy to take. Otherwise, promise me one thing."

Shen Wen immediately sensed that the little emperor was about to reveal a trap.

Shen Wen asked warily, "What are your requirements?"

The young emperor said, "Since you understand that I must have three thousand beauties in my harem, why don't you help me select some young ladies to fill the harem?"

Shen Wen really couldn't control her expression this time. She felt her face went through a thousand different routines before she managed to control it and finally said in a relatively polite manner, "Alright! It's just about filling the harem. Don't worry, I have a very high standard for judging people. I guarantee that the chosen concubines will be well-deserved."

To everyone's surprise, the young emperor was not only dissatisfied with her magnanimous words, but also pouted and silently took the hand towel from the maid to wipe his hands.

Shen Wen slowly observed him. After all, they were siblings more than ten years apart, and Shen Wen clearly understood the little emperor's hidden thoughts. Actually, she didn't want to coax him anymore, but remembering that she still had something to ask of him, she could only sigh inwardly, put on an innocent and bewildered smile, and said to the little emperor, "What? Why aren't you eating? Is it because you're so anxious about having a lot of concubines to surround you in the future that you can't eat?"

The young emperor glared at her.

Shen Wen almost slapped herself. She? She didn't mean to say that, but somehow she blurted it out. Could it be that she was possessed by the original owner of this body?

The young emperor, with his hands behind his back, was about to walk out, but after taking two steps, he dismissed all the palace servants and turned around to pick up Shen Wen in his arms.

Shen Wen, an old woman in her forties, panicked.

"No way! What's going on? Even a monarch can get jealous and hot-blooded in his youth?"

Shen Wen didn't know why he said such things. He quickly covered his mouth, which was causing the trouble. It was as if his mouth had separated from him, so why did he keep saying such inexplicable things?

The young emperor carried her to the large bed behind the screen, and the two of them faced each other, man on top of woman. The young emperor said, "Sister, have you already planned to put women in my harem every night? I just said I wanted to fill the harem, and I'm afraid that will immediately fulfill your wish."

The young emperor uttered angry words, but his hands were already secretly going to unbutton Shen Wen's clothes. In just a moment, Shen Wen's belt slipped off the bed, and the front of his robe was mostly open.

Shen Wen grabbed his mischievous hand, maintaining her composure. She said, "No. Little brother, you're overthinking it. Look... wasn't it you who suggested filling the harem? Well, since my answer just now didn't meet your expectations, why didn't I just say nothing? Calm down, little brother! You're acting like a little wolfhound, it scares me."

Looking at Shen Wen's fair and smooth neck, the young emperor had already imagined a scene involving sex, and felt uncomfortable all over with a dry mouth.

His lips couldn't resist touching that delicate skin, but Shen Wen quickly covered his mouth, saying, "No! That place will itch..."

The young emperor's offensive didn't slow down; his powerful, hormonal actions were almost overwhelming for Shen Wen.

"My mouth! I'll give you my mouth to kiss!"

Shen Wen actually blurted out such a thing!

The young emperor looked at Shen Wen's tender red lips and was very satisfied with her response.

So the young emperor changed his approach and gently kissed her lips.

Before they could even kiss, her vision blurred and she collapsed.

Shen Wen pushed the unconscious flower thief off him, and with a very good temper, he straightened his limbs and watched him obediently lie on his back and fall asleep.

This is absolutely amazing!!!

She hadn't encountered anything like this in a long time. She remembered that when she encountered this in her previous life, she was still a twenty-year-old girl.

After calming down his panicked and fearful state, Shen Wen rubbed his face with both hands before considering what to do next.

"It would be better to take this opportunity to sneak out and see Chu Yanqiu."

Shen Wen planned to do exactly what he thought.

She had just stood up and taken two steps when a sudden, extremely flashing figure blocked her way.

Fortunately, Shen Wen braked suddenly, preventing the two bodies from colliding.

Shen Wen looked up and saw that it was Chunyu Lihe.

Chunyu Lihe didn't waste any words and said, "It's bad! Yuchi Lian is back!"

Shen Wen said, "You had this feeling too? It seems my guess was right."

Chunyu Lihe said, "The situation in the capital is even more complicated and chaotic. The remaining evil spirits and demons are even more difficult to capture. I didn't expect that Yuchi Lian would bring the cultivators who cultivated in Qianfeng Mountain to various parts of the capital. Although these cultivators are also good at capturing evil spirits and demons, their purpose in capturing evil spirits is not to eliminate harm for the people, but to control evil spirits for their own use. They have been doing this for more than just a day or two. They have many such evil spirits under their control. Now that they have been released, they are causing chaos and ravaging the capital. The people in the capital will suffer even more in the future. And that's not all. Small-scale fierce battles often occur in and around the capital. These people fight fiercely and never care about the people. Yingtian Prefecture is also investigating, but they can't react in time. They always arrive after the fact."

Shen Wen asked, "What do you mean?"

Chunyu Li said, "It's not a large-scale excavation of regular troops."

Shen Wen said, "Lord Shen's rebel army? There should also be Jianghu soldiers from Xiliang City, and even other forces."

Chunyu Lihe said, "Yuchi Lian has a considerable private army hidden in Dajue Kingdom, and it is a private army formed by the fusion of spies from other countries."

Shen Wen crossed his arms and looked at Chunyu Lihe, saying, "What do you plan to do next? I'm sure you won't just sit idly by and watch the once peaceful country turn into this state, will you, the little emperor you've watched grow up, do do this?"

Chunyu Lihe's face was as calm as a lake. He looked at Shen Wen and said, "We need to retreat back to the deep mountains."

Shen Wen slipped and almost fell!

She knew it.

Shen Wen composed himself and said, "Great God! You should save the world! How could you cowardly run away? Besides, don't you care about me? I remember asking you before why you didn't care about my life or death when I was a child, letting those bastards from the Shen Marquis's mansion bully me. You said you couldn't even protect yourself and couldn't take care of me. Now that you have regained your strength, isn't this the time for you to protect me? Please! It was a powerful deity like Yuchi Lian who wanted to kill me. She... she could kill me with a single finger."

Chunyu Lihe showed no reaction at this moment, still maintaining a calm and indifferent expression. He said, "Our intervention will only cause more suffering in the capital. You don't know that in such a chaotic world, I can save one person's life, but I can't save their fate. Besides, there is always killing if we save someone. I'm afraid that if we don't save a few, I will kill many more."

Shen Wen was puzzled. She said, "Saving good people and killing bad people, is saving good people accumulating good deeds and killing bad people accumulating good deeds? Don't you think what you just said is contradictory?"

Chunyu Lihe said, "A person is a person. No matter what their life's trajectory is, it can only be called fate. There is no distinction between good and bad people."

Shen Wen was practically spitting blood.

Seeing Chunyu Lihe turn to leave, Shen Wen grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'm afraid of dying! I don't want to die! You can't leave."

Chunyu Lihe stared directly at Shen Wen, his eyes revealing a penetrating insight that made it impossible for anyone to hide their true feelings when they met his gaze.

Shen Wen felt a moment of fear, but she still refused to let go of his sleeve and said, "I'm really afraid of her. She's absolutely terrifying. She's made me die and come back to life... She's killed me so many times."

Chunyu Lihe gently stroked his head and said, "Things are different now, soul from another world! Have you forgotten the terrible things you encountered in that world? They are not to be underestimated compared to this. Back then, you were never afraid. The terror in one's heart is just a blind eye. Think about what you have to rely on now. Yuchi Lian is no match for you, is she?"

A sudden inspiration struck Shen Wen, and she fell into deep thought.

Tonight, Shen Wen ultimately did not escape the palace to find Chu Yanqiu. She sat by the young emperor's bedside, lost in thought.
