968 Night Emperors Weird Reques (2/2)
Me? Why is that? Meng Qi was confused. Huo Lishang shook his robe and he returned to his original look and appearance. Then he strode into the hall.
The fake Night Emperor lying together with Liushang and Xiapei was surprised to see him. He pointed at Huo Lishang and stammered, ”You, you…”
Huo Lishang smiled,
”Game is over.”
He stretched his hand towards the fake one's face and snatched a transparent mask. The imposing manner disappeared.
The one who was smiling and helping people to fulfill their wishes suddenly became a normal man. He shouted with disappointment and despair, ”I, I'm the Night Emperor. I am the Night Emperor.”
He turned around and looked at Liushang and Xiapie and shouted, ”Liushang, Xiapei, I'm the Night Emperor!”
The two girls did not cast another glance over him as if he did not exist. And they walked towards the real Night Emperor with arms open.
”A day together as husband and wife means endless devotion the rest of your life. You two, how can you treat me like this? Leave me alone. I'm the Night Emperor,” the fake one was arrested by attendants and kept crying out loud, unwilling to wake up from this beautiful dream and return to his normal life.
Liushang and Xiapei held the real Night Emperor's arms back to the flowers stage. He turned around facing Meng Qi and sat down. His eyes were bright and full of affection to all the beautiful things.
From now on he was back to the Night Emperor again.
He looked at the fake one leaving and exclaimed, ”He declined my request at the very beginning. But after I let him experience my life for a few days, he agreed.”
”To exchange identity means to exchange everything. During this half year, all my concubines and subordinates belonged to him. He could make any decision as he wished and enjoyed everything I used to have. The only difference is that I can only use this Infinitely Changing mask to provide him limited power. Therefore he better not get in any fight with other Dharmakaya.”
So the imposing manner that fake one had come from this mask… Meng Qi thought.
Huo Lishang's smile was honest. He continued, ”Since I take the whole thing seriously, I of course granted him the right to flirt with Liushang and Xiapei and even have sex with any one of the girls. And they should obey his order just like they obeyed mine. And he could spend as much money as he wanted, giving orders to the seven seas and control other's fate. I would take responsibility for everything he did without regrets.”
This meant that one really had the identity of the Night Emperor.
Meng Qi looked up at Liushang and Xiapei and found their faces blush.
How peculiar… Meng Qi thought. The perfectionist was usually a pervert. Though Meng Qi respected Mister Luda, he saw his consistency as a pervert, too.
”You enjoyed your exchange life. But have you ever considered about these girls' feelings? And your subordinates?” Meng Qi asked bluntly.
The Night Emperor laughed and looked at two girls with passion and appreciation, ”They enjoyed it, too. It is boring to always be together with the same person. They enjoyed themselves seeing an average man started to enjoy life as the Night Emperor and fell in love with them.”
Liu Shang cried and said, ”We did not!”
Xia Pei bit her lips slightly and her eyes watered, ”We did it because we wanted to satisfy you and fulfill you wish to have a perfect exchange life. How can you say we enjoyed it.”
Huo Lishang smiled and said, ”You are right. It's my fault. I forced you to accept it.”
”I would do everything for you,” Liushang said in a gentle tone. And then she suddenly blushed and lowered her head down.
Xiapei wrung her hands and then said in a low voice, ”We would be happy if you are happy.”
The Night Emperor said nothing more and looked at Meng Qi with smile, ”Rare beauties in the world with both wisdom and beauty, with different personalities and charm. Subordinates all over the seven seas, some tough, some smart, ask them in whichever way and they would just follow the Emperor's order without complaints. Treasure of all islands with different pills and medicine. The top position of authority and power that would have chiefs of island salute with fear, the most beautiful girls flattering you and you will have the most powerful friends…”
”This is the identity of the Night Emperor. Not only the florist was addicted to it, a guru could not resist it, too. No one, during these years, could leave it behind with no sad feelings.”
”Why are you saying all these?” Meng Qi asked, feeling a sudden jolt.
Huo Lishang smiled and said, ”You could tell the difference between real and fake. It means that you are one of the top players. If so, I should have heard about your name. You hide yourself in ships but you are not injured. You concealed your fame and ability because you had your own intentions.”
”The ship started from Chang Hua Island to Island of Ten Magnificence. A few days ago, the chief Qu Baimei in Chang Hua Island was killed together with his whole family. And before that Yin Feilong, ambassador of Heavenly Way Alliance visited Qu Baimei.”
Then he gave a fox smile and said, ”Most importantly, I knew a secret that Qu Baimei was related with a secret organization in the past.”
”So, are you one of the members sent from that secret organization to investigate the death of Qu Baimei?”
Huo Lishang was able to make such detailed assumptions by just talking to him for a few minutes. No wonder he became the Night Emperor… Meng Qi was surprised and then said calmly, ”You think too much.”
”I do not think so,” Huo Lishang said confidently. ”I'm very interested in your identity as a member of the secret organization and I want to experience your life. Of course, I will help you to investigate the death of Qu Baimei and find out the killer and his intentions behind it.”
He stared right into Meng Qi's eyes with passion towards life and said, ”And you become the Night Emperor!”
”Beauties, strong subordinates, treasures, top position, and power, all these will belong to you and let you experience a completely different beautiful life.”
”You mean to exchange our identity?” Meng Qi asked, trying to stay calm.
Me become the Night Emperor?
With a second thought, it can help me to conceal my real identity and use his huge network of connections to investigate the relationship between Baimei and Golden Turtle Island. Nobody will know that the Night Emperor is Heavenly Lord Yuanshi from Fairy World.
And Huo Lishang will take full responsibility of everything I do in his identity. But of course, I do not know if he would be capable to shoulder all those responsibilities…
The question is whether Huo Lishang is simply doing this for fun or have other intentions?
Huo Lishang nodded with a smile,
”Yes, to exchange our identity. You wear this infinite changing mask and I will provide power through it and let you become the Night Emperor. You will enjoy all I have, my position and my power.”
He said in a firm tone as he believed that Meng Qi could not resist it. Except for Dharmakaya, few people could resist such a request, especially for men. Some men might not be interested in women, some fortune, some power and position, but no one would like none of them.
Most importantly, he could use all his connections and power during exchange to make one's life easier even after it ended.
Meng Qi pondered and then nodded, ”Sure. Let's do it.”
Huo Lishang laughed and then gave the mask to Meng Qi.
”From now on, you are the Night Emperor!”
”And I am?”
Meng Qi smiled and said:
”Lord Taiyi Han Guang.”
