The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
Chapter 2491: The Long Xuan Empire’s Awkward Situation (1)

After Duan Hen, the Lan Yue Dynasty also handed over the records of their country’s preparations. Compared with the Divine Wind Alliance and the Seven Kingdoms, the preparations of this country could be said to be in good order, with no major flaws nor points worthy of attention. Just like the king of the Lan Yue Dynasty, who had always remained unmoved either by gains or losses and was easy to ignore.

Of the four countries, only the Long Xuan Empire had not moved.

The emperor of the Long Xuan Empire was sitting at the table, his whole body tight; he was on pins and needles.

Compared with the other three countries, the Long Xuan Empire could be said to have basically not strengthened its military, and even other parts of their pre-war preparations had not moved much. Its strength was no different from two years ago.

Was the emperor afraid?

He must be afraid!

He had believed that Shen Yanxiao would die in a foreign land. He never thought that Shen Yanxiao would come back. And seeing her today, he felt more and more that Shen Yanxiao was stronger than she had been two or so years ago; the power of The Rising Sun City and the Barren Land had also changed dramatically.

The emperor got up and stood in front of Shen Yanxiao at this moment, just like a toddler standing at the feet of a giant, raising his eyes with boundless fear. He knew very well that he had nothing comparable to Shen Yanxiao. If she wanted to kill him, it was as simple as crushing an ant.

The emperor hated that he was unable to go back in time. If he could, he would honestly prepare for the war as Shen Yanxiao told them before she left, instead of giving up his last chance because of his inner hatred.

The emperor remained motionless; he did not dare to move.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the emperor with his head down and his shoulders trembling faintly. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Yanxiao had already learned the situation of the Long Xuan Empire over the past two years from Du Lang's mouth.

Although Shen Yanxiao had not been in the Radiance Continent in recent years, the people of The Rising Sun City had never relaxed their observation of the other four countries. Every move of the four countries' rulers had been recorded by The Rising Sun City. When Shen Yanxiao returned, the records had already been given to her for inspection.

How could Shen Yanxiao not know about the emperor's little tricks?

"Why do I feel a little embarrassed?" There was silence in the hall. Tang Nazhi could not bear it and whispered in Qi Xia's ear.

"Hmm?" Qi Xia raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Nazhi.

"Although we have now separated ourselves from the Long Xuan Empire, after all is said and done, our five great clans still came from that place. How can the emperor become as timid as a mouse? It makes me embarrassed to say that I used to be from the Long Xuan Empire." Tang Nazhi was very depressed. When the five great clans were still in the Long Xuan Empire, the emperor was very polite to them, but he didn't put down his superiority nor arrogance even once; he never lost any of his bearing as a king.

But after just a few years’ time, the emperor of the Long Xuan Empire had been reduced to one who did not even have the courage to speak?

Just look at his performance in the hall, lowering his head from beginning to end without saying a word. Had it not been for the little dignity of a king left in him, he would have gone under the table already.

It was really a shame that an emperor of a country was unexpectedly reduced to this level.

Qi Xia let out a chuckle, covered his face with the white jade bone fan and whispered back, "Do you think he’s still the emperor of those days?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Nazhi was slightly stunned.

"The reason why the Long Xuan Empire was able to stand first among the four countries before was that there were the Mythological Beasts of our five great clans sitting in town. But now, the five great clans have long been separated from the Long Xuan Empire and the country’s position as first is no longer guaranteed."
