Chapter 971 - The Battlefield is a Man’s Destination! (2/2)

Not to mention that Nie Qing’s life depended entirely on the emperor. Bai Xiaofei was destined to have many contacts with this person. Only when he gained her trust could he achieve his purpose!

“Congratulations for standing out among thousands. Seeing your numbers, it can be said that you all automatically passed the test. However, I have some bad news,” the emperor spoke slowly, her voice cool and aloof.

Hearing this, the contestants grew nervous. In Moonlight, the emperor was their god, having their lives in her hand!

“I’m sure you should have guessed why I had you gathered from all over the empire,” she continued.

Bai Xiaofei’s eyes shone. Finally!

“To celebrate the birthday of Your Majesty the Emperor and select the father for the next generation of the Moonlight emperor!” an excited voice suddenly rang out.

Looking over, Bai Xiaofei saw the image of what one could call a butterboy1. However, in contrast to his pretty face were a pair of unusually sharp eyes.

His answer was also the idea of most people, which was why so many servants had tried their best in the competition to get into the top 500. The emperor was a woman who wanted to pass on her royal blood. No matter how powerful she was, she could not birth a child without a man.

“It is true that I have gotten to that age, but this is not the only purpose of this competition.” The emperor was not angry, but obviously she was not very happy either. “The northern border is in a dangerous situation. For some reason, our soldiers have encountered a problem that requires men to solve. That is why.”

Except for Bai Xiaofei and Zhu Chunyang, the contestants all widened their eyes in disbelief. Seeing this reaction, the emperor couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Are men really reliable?

“Now, you all have the option to withdraw, and I will not blame you for it.” Her voice became cold.

The yard immediately quieted down.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. “Your Majesty, I have something to say to the people who have been following me. May I?”

The emperor’s eyes fell on him. Then, her lips curled up and there was something strange in her gaze that Bai Xiaofei couldn’t understand.

“Of course, you can speak freely during this time,” she replied.

Bai Xiaofei then turned around and looked at his anxious group of muscular men.

“Remember what I said before? It’s not simple to earn people’s acceptance. Everyone knows that words can’t describe the dangers at the border. However, if you look at it from another angle, isn’t this a great chance to prove yourselves? After the past few days, you should have realized that there are things where men are more cut out for than women. The battlefield is a man’s ultimate destination! While Her Majesty said you are free to leave, I have something else to say.”

Pausing briefly, Bai Xiaofei’s expression grew solemn.

“Do it! Do it so that when you reach the end of your life and look back on it, you won’t look down on yourself!”
