808 Brother, Don’t Be Afraid (1/2)

Chapter 808 – Brother, Don't Be Afraid

Since Lei Fan had the experience of ruling Broken Blade House, he was a suitable choice for ruling Yizhou Prefecture.

The mountain barbarian race was really similar to the Gaoshan Race. Lei Fan's appearance would also make it easier to gain the recognition of the Gaoshan Race. The Gaoshan Race was a really glorious race, and it would not work if one solely used strength to try and convince them.

Ouyang Shuo was not going to rush the matter as he had enough patience.

The two of them continued the conversation till noon when Lei Fan took his leave. Lei Fan would teleport to Zhenhai City, and then use the warships to sail to Yizhou Prefecture.

Along with him would be 50 elite officials the Administration Bureau selected.

...

2nd month, 8th day, 10th day of the Chinese New Year, Nanjiang Governor-General Manor Back Garden.

On this day, Ouyang Shuo was accompanying Bing'er to disturb the prosperity beast Qiyi. Bing'er was holding some bamboo that they had spent a lot of effort to find and was feeding the panda.

Qiyi was just that blur and dumb; it totally lacked the look of a prosperity beast.

His two shorts paws tried to hook onto Bing'er's legs, but no matter how it tried, it could not hook on. He hugged onto a sugar cane and ate happily.

While eating, it would charge at Bing'er's legs, making her laugh incessantly.

On the first day of the New Year, the prosperity triggered by Qiyi had surprised Ouyang Shuo. He thought that the little fellow would need to mature before he could trigger any prosperity events.

Ouyang Shuo was prepared to send Qiyi to the Spirt Beast Hall after the Lantern Festival to train. Although it was a prosperity beast, it was still a god beast subspecies.

Maybe it would learn some new skills from cultivating.

Bing'er fed it bamboo and asked, ”Brother, are you going to become an emperor?”

”Yes.” Ouyang Shuo did not try to hide anything as he smiled, ”You're going to be a princess.”

”But Bing'er is unhappy.”

The little lady frowned, putting the bamboo in her hand on the ground.

When Qiyi saw that, it finally let go of Bing'er's leg like a little rabbit, bouncing and jumping. He hugged all the scattered bamboo like a baby in its arms.

After that, Qiyi wanted to hug the bamboo and run back to its little master.

Helplessly its legs and paws were short. Its little body obviously could not manage to hug onto so many bamboo sticks. As it ran, the bamboo sticks were dropped onto the ground. When it returned to Bing'er, it only had that one stick of bamboo it was chewing on.

Qiyi used its little paw to rub its own head, and its eyes that had a natural black eye circle showed its inability to understand.

”Where did the bamboo go?”

Looking back, it saw the bamboo dropped all over the floor.

Qiyi was really patient, actually running back and starting to gather the bamboo one by one. Looking at the situation, the little fellow treated this as a game.

Luckily, no one else was there to notice that Ouyang Shuo was caught off guard by Bing'er's reaction.

”Can you tell me why you're unhappy?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

Bing'er explained like it was obvious, ”Brother, think about it, the emperors in the shows are so fierce. Even the princess needs to bow to him and cannot laugh. Would you become so fierce when you become the emperor?”

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, ruffled her hair and smiling, ”Even if I become the emperor, I am still your brother. How would I change?”

”You messed up my hair.” Bing'er really cared about her image now, dressing up beautifully every day. She still was not pleased with her brother's reply, ”Brother, you're just answering for the sake of answering.”

This little lady was really intelligent and sharp.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, avoiding the question and not replying. However, he sighed in his heart.

'Because even I do not know whether I'll change or not.'

Before the emperor sat on the dragon throne, they all swore. But when they truly sat onto it, they would change, naturally become colder and becoming a person that even they themselves would feel unfamiliar with.

A Lord who was not heartless would not be able to sit stably on the dragon throne.

Anyone who sat on the dragon throne, be it a gentle and magnanimous prince or a crown prince who had spent his time amongst the poor and understood the pain of the people, they would all end up the same.

Bing'er seemingly felt it, and she raised her head to look at her brother; her eyes clear and sharp.

She suddenly smiled, using her small and tender hands to grab onto Ouyang Shuo's large and rough palm, saying word by word, ”Brother do not worry, Bing'er is by your side.”

Who knows from when, but Bing'er's Wugou Heart Sutra had already reached the proficient level. Her heart had become even more pure, which brought about a certain charm amidst a sense of coldness.

Ouyang Shuo was surprised as he continued with a laugh; it was the laughter that came from the heart.

It was like a certain type of pressure being released; it was like being alone in the dark and suddenly realizing that someone was holding a lantern and walking with you, making one feel really warm.

”I'm not afraid.”

Ouyang Shuo said softly, like he was replying Bing'er but also like he was talking to himself.

”If it was a cold and dark abyss in the front, I would not regret it either.” Ouyang Shuo's experiences were totally different from previous emperors and rulers. He cultivated the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique. In the future, he would cultivate even stronger techniques.

The end goal would be to be able to monitor his own body and understand his heart.

Ouyang Shuo believed that he would be able to step out of this, step onto the devil that was power right at his feet.

'Ahwu~~'

At this very moment, Qiyi carried a couple of sticks of bamboo and hopped over. Whilst it ran, it continued to drop bamboo onto the ground. The little fellow was still delighted, engrossed in this whole process.
