After the Ninth Emperor returned, the girls in Cloud Mountain greeted her happily.
These girls were all dressed up in flowers, perhaps because they knew she would come back today. Those girls who usually did not wear much makeup were also lightly powdered and modestly greeted her.
“Ninth Emperor, you’re back?”
They smiled brightly.
Their voices softened the Ninth Emperor’s heart. She smiled and hugged the girls.
She did not notice that the young man behind her was sulking.
‘It seems that this place is not suitable for us. I’ve to find a way to leave…’
“The day of the election is in a few days.” The Ninth Emperor then remembered those people outside and pondered for a while. “I will not be here for this year’s election. You guys look after it. No matter how beautiful or ugly the appearance is, strong or smart, the people recruited must be courteous.”
“Yes, Ninth Emperor,” all the girls answered respectfully.
The calm Cloud Mountain was once again lively because of her return.
Only Nan Changfeng was ignored, and none of the girls looked at him.
In their eyes, there was always the Ninth Emperor alone.
Moreover, he had become their love rival!
Dongfang Yu smirked.
Before this, the Ninth Emperor was always with Nan Changfeng.
Now, there were so many of them. It was impossible that they were still no match for him.
With their presence, the Ninth Emperor would not go and meet Nan Changfeng again.
Nan Changfeng looked calm but was frowning slightly.
Before he left, he glanced at Dongfang Yu warningly.
Dongfang Yu’s face turned pale. She somehow felt that Nan Changfeng… Seemed a little scary.
He did not seem to be angry, but with that look, it was still terrifying.
Yet, no matter what, she was the Ninth Emperor’s woman. With the Ninth Emperor’s protection, even if Nan Changfeng was angry, there was no way he could hit her.
Thinking of this, she felt a lot more at ease. A smile bloomed upon her face as she turned to leave.
***
The election day was approaching, and Cloud Mountain became busy. More people had come to the mountain, waiting for the gate to open.
However, nothing had changed with the Ninth Emperor’s life. The election seemed to have nothing to do with what she appeared to be. She spent her peaceful day with her flowers, herbs, and Nan Changfeng. Other than that, she had no other entertainment.
The girls were busy during this time and did not come to disturb her. It was rare for Nan Changfeng to get along with her quietly without being disturbed by anyone.
“How is the election going?”
The Ninth Emperor lay lazily on the chair. Nan Changfeng sat next to her and handed her a grape with the skin and seeds removed.
He then said calmly, “There’s nothing to see.
‘It’s just a group of women. I, alone, am enough for you.
‘There’s no need to look at those people.’
The Ninth Emperor blinked, stood up from the chair, and pinched Nan Changfeng’s cheek, “Have you gone to see them?”
Nan Changfeng shook his head. “No. You are the best-looking person in this world. Ninth Emperor, those people are not as beautiful as you, so there is no need to see them.”
