The Peerless Emperor

The Talent of the Green Spirit Clan left Lin Qian utterly impressed, his eyes blazing with fervor.

For him, this type of talent that allowed for rapid accumulation of cultivation resources and accelerated growth was even more captivating than formidable combat power.

Just thinking about the unfinished greening of the city made Lin Qian feel extremely stifled and uncomfortable.

Lin Qian's enthusiastic description left Cuiyu stunned in place, unsure of what to do. As a member of the Green Spirit Clan for many years, she really didn't realize her clan could be so useful.

Even though her clan's talent didn't seem to help much in combat, from Lin Qian's words, Cuiyu clearly felt that he preferred their ability to accelerate plant growth over combat capabilities.

The stacking of materials, combined with the Green Spirit Clan's creation of new spiritual medicine and spirit wood experiments, lit up Cuiyu's eyes and filled her with wonder.

"Powerful Talent must be utilized in the right place to truly shine!" Staring at the young Green Spirit Clan girl in front of him, Lin Qian spoke earnestly and solemnly, "Only by understanding this can one realize their full potential."

"Vision should not be limited to combat; sometimes talent can achieve unexpected effects. The Huaxia Empire will be the best stage for your clan to display its talents." Lin Qian's sincere expression and outstretched hands conveyed his genuine hope, "If possible, I truly wish that your Green Spirit Clan could join the Huaxia Empire."

After a long look at Ye Xin in front of her, Cuiyu respectfully bowed, "I will speak to my great-grandfather and let him inform the Clan Leader. Such matters must be decided by the Clan Leader, but…"

Seeing Cuiyu hesitating to speak, Lin Qian smiled and said, "Whatever your thoughts, speak boldly without worry."

"If the Clan Leader disagrees with the Green Spirit Clan going to the Huaxia Empire, could I possibly go with you to see the Huaxia Empire?" After a moment of thought, Cuiyudu mustered the courage to look up and ask Lin Qian.

Lin Qian, who had been wondering what request the young girl from the Green Spirit Clan would make, couldn't help but laugh when he heard her question, "Of course, no problem at all!"

"Thank you so much!" The Green Spirit Clan girl excitedly bowed to Lin Qian and then left the building joyfully.

Seeing the lively and cheerful foreign girl, Lin Qian turned to look at Ye Xin beside him, "If the Green Spirit Clan truly joins the Huaxia Empire, I'm afraid their people will be highly sought after. After all, their clan is truly full of beautiful women and handsome men."

"So, Your Majesty, have you considered taking a consort?" Ye Xin moved closer to Lin Qian, asking playfully.

Ye Xin's question made Lin Qian shake his head with a chuckle, "In my heart, there's no room for another woman. In this life, beside me will only be you, Xinxin."

"Tsk, even if you wanted to, would I be that petty?" Ye Xin spoke softly, hands clasped behind her back.

Just as Ye Xin finished speaking, Lin Qian slapped her buttocks with a "smack," causing her to blush and let out an embarrassed shriek as she turned to look at him.

"Little Qian… what are you doing?"

"Don't talk like that anymore, or I'll get angry!" Looking sternly at Ye Xin in front of him, Lin Qian spoke seriously.

Seeing Lin Qian's serious face, Ye Xin paused briefly and murmured, "But many rulers of dynasties and boundary countries…"

"That's why they are only Human Emperors, while I am the Emperor." Lin Qian stepped closer to Ye Xin and gently embraced her, "Even if you don't mind, Xinxin, if there really were other women beside me, wouldn't you feel hurt or pained?"

Held in Lin Qian's arms, Ye Xin fell silent, imagining the scenario in her mind. Her heart tightened as she whispered, "How could I not feel hurt and pained…"

"Xinxin, if your heart aches..." Lin Qian held Ye Xin in his arms, gently rubbing her head, "How could I bear to see you suffer? In this life, I will only love you, the sole mistress of the Huaxia Empire."

"Don't compare me with others, an unparalleled emperor, unique and unmatched. How could I be just like anyone else?"

"Xinxin, I, Lin Qian, swear an oath to the heart demons, in this life, you are the only one for me!"

Lin Qian's words stiffened Ye Xin's entire body, followed by uncontrollable trembling, tears streaming from her eyes as she buried herself deeper into his embrace, as if trying to merge into his body.

Listening to the sobs of his beloved in his arms, Lin Qian gently rubbed her head, reminiscing about the past in the Ye Residence in Bashan City.

By the pond in that modest courtyard, a boy and a girl sat side by side, gazing at the moon above.

The boy was an orphan scorned by others, the girl a proud talent blessed by the heavens.

"I don't care what others think; I will protect Little Qian for a lifetime, staying by your side forever."

Lin Qian would always remember, by the pond, during his loneliest times, the girl's radiant smile was directed at him.

"Because I like Little Qian the most."

Holding her tightly, Lin Qian murmured in his heart, "I like Xinxin the most, too."

The night passed without words, it came as if a spring breeze had suddenly arrived, ah ha ha ha!

The next day, Lin Qian met Ye Xin at the entrance of the Green Spirit Clan village, ready to explore the ruins where the three elders had once hurriedly sought refuge.

Lin Qian was very curious about the seals within the ruins.

A species of ornamental fish? To consider the Purple Demon Fish as such was utterly inconceivable.

If they were meant for ornamentation, why were they specifically sealed? Aren't such creatures supposed to be free?

Yet, this species that should be freed was sealed.

If he wanted to understand the situation with the arrays, he might need the assistance of the Heavenly Art Department, so Lin Qian planned to personally visit and see what was going on.

On the way to the ruins, Lin Qian took the opportunity to collect the corpse of the Purple Demon Fish and placed it in Xuanhuan Star for detailed research by the Heavenly Art Department, hoping to make some discoveries.

The so-called ruins were in a collapsed cavern in the underground world. Following the elders down, Lin Qian was astonished to find the area below was excessively spacious.

This area beneath the cavern seemed like another underground world, but the path ahead was blocked by a massive structure, with a large portal facing him.

Part of the enormous building's upper section had collapsed under the cavern's dome, yet the structure remained incredibly intact.

On the door, there were traces of an incomplete array, revealing its original state.
