Chapter 528: Chapter 526 East Immortal Country
Zi Qi arrived at the Holy Palace.
Frans and Zi Qi, these two had not seen each other since the Holy War ten thousand years ago, but their rivalry over Sally had never ceased.
Especially when Little Miqi started calling Zi Qi “Dad,” Frans was almost furious to death.
Moreover, Sally obviously favored Zi Qi more, frequently loving to be at the Beast Emperor’s Palace without any special reason.
However, Frans having four of Sally’s children was something Zi Qi took very seriously, so whether through cajoling or genuine affection, he stubbornly “kidnapped” Little Miqi.
You have so many children, but you have to share half with me…
Little Shiqi saw his biological father and immediately lunged at him.
Zi Qi endured it for a while, but eventually hugged his young son, caressing the horns on his head, inevitably gaining a few small wounds in his palm.
“Father Emperor, the grandfather of brother twelve was really kind to me.”
“Is that so?” Zi Qi replied, his gaze shifting towards Sally’s swollen belly, “Where’s Little Twelve?”
“He’s back with his dad, probably at Yunmeng Island. Who knows when he might return to the Divine Realm, and as he grows older, he’s not as cherished as when he was younger,” Sally said with a smile.
Zi Qi hugged his young son a bit longer, then let him go play with Little Ten and the others.
“How did you bring him here? Doesn’t it pose a risk to you?” Zi Qi was more worried about Sally’s condition.
Sally replied, “Where in the world is there no risk involved? It’s always about pulling chestnuts out of the fire, going against the current.”
“Yanyan…” Zi Qi embraced her, “come back with me.”
“To where?”
“I’ve established a country, East Immortal Country.”
“Huh?” Sally was surprised, aware he was up to something. She thought he might start a sect or something, but he had established a country instead.
“East Immortal Country… East Immortal, you are planning to rule over the Demon Realm,” Sally laughed.
“If Frans is the Holy King of the Western Immortal Realm, then I have to be the East Immortal Master,” Zi Qi replied.
“…” So his feelings were about competing with Frans!
“Qilin Academy and Zhu Sanlang have been a lot of help. After all, they used to be the largest sect in the Demon Realm, and this is like dividing their power.”
“Ten thousand years ago, I made quite a scene at Qilin Academy. It was easy to stir up animosity, showing that being exceptional in solitude was bound to suffer erosion. Having a brotherly alliance might not be a bad thing.”
She had even promised before to have a second child with Zhu Sanlang, and in everyone’s eyes, Zi Qi was her most relied upon Beast Husband; pleasing him was inevitable.
“Ultimately, it’s because of you. The child I have with Zhu Sanlang is a real sibling to Little Seventeen, who has also ascended to the Divine Realm and is staying at the Divine Lord Residence. This gives us the opportunity to sit together with them. The futures of Little Seven and Little Eight are also hard to predict.”
“That’s also due to your good genetic talents. Additionally, the Eastern and Western Immortal Realms are interconnected now. The East Immortal Realm needs a force to counterbalance the Western Immortal Realm, and your emergence is their ideal choice. Firstly, as the Beast Emperor from the Lower Realm, you are adept at governing. Secondly, your personal strength is formidable, and you’re about to enter the God Rank. Thirdly, under the current circumstances, peace is essential, and your relationship with Frans is rather negotiable.”
Little Seven, riding on Putao’s back, came over leisurely, “Father Emperor, I want to go to the East Immortal Realm to play, and Putao also misses Uncle Zong.”
Zi Qi nodded in agreement, “Alright. Your Uncle Zong has started an academy called Divine Beast Academy; you can go to school there when you return.”
Little Seven: “…”
Putao was very excited, “I want to go to school.”
Zi Qi then told Sally, “As soon as the doors opened, thousands of students enrolled, from all races, sects, and factions.”
“Probably spies coming to check things out,” Sally laughed, “But this is also good for you guys. It’s a step out of Beast World, each forging your own paths, creating a whole new world.”
“We always need to provide some shade for these little ones,” Zi Qi, lifting Little Seven, “Water domains don’t distinguish between Upper and Lower Realms, after all, there’s not much change.”
“Little Seven doesn’t want to leave Father Emperor, Little Seven will always be Father Emperor’s close cotton-padded jacket, Father Emperor kiss Little Seven~” Little Seven suddenly acted coy.
Zi Qi lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “Father Emperor can’t be apart from Little Seven either.”
“It’s been eons since there’s been news. Rong Ruo is only in his early thirties this year, let him handle the role of Beast Emperor, without bothering about his issues.” Rong Ruo had come to Zi Qi several times, both overtly and covertly suggesting that Little Seven become the Empress of the Southern District.
The child is so young, and he’s only in his thirties…
“Okay,” Zi Qi smiled.
Xiaoqi clung to Zi Qi, “Then can Father Emperor take Xiaoqi with him?”
“Not staying here with me anymore?” Frans came over carrying Little Miqi, his handsome face adorned with the most beautiful smile.
Sally felt a moment of bewilderment, “…”
Upon seeing Zi Qi, Little Miqi immediately reached out her arms, “Daddy, hold me~ I’ve missed you so much, even more than I’ve missed the Father Emperor!”
Instantly, the smile on Frans’s face faltered.
Sally was uncontrollably amused. It was like a little warm jacket, albeit a leaky one!
…
Although Ethan didn’t know Zi Qi, he had heard Frans mention him so often that his ears were about to grow callouses.
So, upon meeting Zi Qi in person, Ethan spoke familiarly and bowed, “I have long heard of Emperor Zi’s great reputation, it’s like thunder piercing the ears.”
Zi Qi returned a half bow, “You flatter me. I assume the Holy King hasn’t said anything good about me.”
That was indeed the case! With a sky-high grudge… Ethan smiled awkwardly, “As familiar as my own treasures.”
This time, Zi Qi’s visit to the Holy World Empire was not only to take Sally and others to the Eastern Immortal Country but also to forge a permanent peace treaty with Frans.
However, since Frans couldn’t have a peaceful conversation with Zi Qi, he let Ethan fully represent him.
“Hehe, let’s get back to the point. This is the preliminary draft of the treaty prepared by my Eastern Immortal Country, please have a look, Prime Minister Ethan.”
Zi Qi took out a document pouch from Different Space and handed it to a nearby servant.
The servant then passed it to Ethan.
Ethan opened it and took out a thick book of the treaty… besides some preambles and detailed descriptions, the main points were four major clauses.
The first clause, Eastern Immortal Country and Holy World Empire forge a permanent peace and trade treaty!
The second clause, the previous barrier between the two realms will serve as a boundary line, establishing a national border with a permanent non-aggression pact.
The third clause, should there be an invasion by external enemies, both sides will assist each other militarily.
The fourth clause, both sides firmly refuse to accept each other’s fugitives and will assist in capturing and extraditing them, with detailed stipulations…
Sally and the children packed their little bags, even Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Little Shisan and Little Miqi were packing up; these four Little Angels would also be going to study at the Divine Beast Academy over there.
Frans looked as if on the verge of tears, “Yanyan, with you leaving, I’m left utterly deserted here.”
“Why don’t you come along with us then,” Sally laughed.
“…” Frans’s identity wasn’t one that allowed for casual boundary crossing, or else he would have gone to Continent 9908 long ago.
“Zi Qi seems to have a birthday coming up, why not be good neighbors and talk about some collaborative projects to promote steady prosperity, like exchanges in Spiritual Materials, Spiritual Artifacts, Immortal Silk, and cultural tourism,” she suggested.
“You sure are thinking far ahead, so eager to head east,” Frans was a bit jealous.
Sally laughed, “I’ve been living here with the kids for four years, it’s time to visit around.”
In four years, Zi Qi had built up the Eastern Immortal Country from scratch, which was no easy feat, and she of course wanted to go and support him.
Moreover, Jiushen Mountain was also within the territory of the Eastern Immortal Country, and she had to send Little Shisi and Little Shiwu there to undergo a period of sleeping cultivation.
“Then you can stay there at most four months.”
“Not necessarily.”
“I knew it, you plan to take the kids and never come back! No, I won’t let you go!”
“…”
…
