Chapter 664 (2/2)

“Right, tell me about that…”

“It’s like that…”

Ye Lang started to tell his story. Although they had already received reports, it was best they heard from the person himself.

The little princess stared with her huge eyes, listening intently as she sat next to him.

“You mean, the thing Zhao Yarou has is the underground city?”

“Mm! That’s the one.”

“What’s inside?”

“I checked. All the best work of the Tiangong people is inside. If they conduct research, it’ll only be a matter of time when she conquers the entire mainland!”

“...”

Everyone fell silent. They did not want this to happen. Zhao Yarou was a maniac, with such a powerful tool in her hands, they didn’t know what she’d do.

“But don’t worry!” added Ye Lang.

“Why wouldn’t we worry?! You stupid, why didn’t you just kill Zhao Yarou off? There were just the three of you there, don’t tell me you couldn’t kill her.” Princess Longji pinched him to vent her frustration.

“I didn’t have the chance to! Don’t underestimate her. Next time, if you ever meet her, do not ever try anything or you’ll suffer,” reminded Ye Lang.

“You think she’ll eat me up? I really don’t know what relationship you have with her. Why didn’t she kill you? Why don’t you kill her? Are you both really enemies?” Princess Longji did not understand.

Many people didn’t. They both looked like archnemesis but somehow, neither side seemed to want to kill the other person. Both had the chance, they just didn’t.

“What use would it be, killing her? It would just cause chaos in Soaring Sky, the victims in the end would be the civilians. To the people, it doesn’t really matter who is on the throne as long as they’re a good ruler. And she’s a good ruler,” said Ye Lang.

:...:

They reflected on his words. It was something they had never thought about. In the past, they only thought about power and competition, always about how they should destroy their enemies. They never thought about the people.

To the people, it was all the same. As long as they did not make the people suffer, it did not matter who the ruler was.

“Don’t worry, the knowledge in there isn’t something that can be processed in one year. From compiling the information to putting it to use, to preparation, it would be impossible to do anything within twenty years,” said Ye Lang casually.

Conquering the world was still no simple feat. Even if she had the ruins, she must spend many years preparing.

“Twenty years… Anything could happen…” Princess Longji and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. They also had to prepare to watch Zhao Yarou’s progress closely.

“Then tell us, why did you go to Ai La? Why did you bring their princess here?”

“Ah, that’s a coincidence…”

Ye Lang started to speak, feeling his mouth turn dry. Why did they have so many questions? At least they were all here so he wouldn’t have to tell the story again.

“Ah….”
