“Master Li!”

Lochlan didn’t care that he was emperor and he actually knelt down on the ground. His voice shook, “Master Li, you are the empire’s spine. How can you retire? We just got the world. Iron Skull City, Swirling Abyss City and Nine Heavens City have not shown loyalty. If you leave, the empire will be in a mess!”

He kowtowed, “I hope Master Li can rethink it and accompany Lochlan!”

I shook my head, “No need to worry. After me, naturally, someone else will take over The Executor position to help you protect the land.”

I helped the young ruler up and smiled, “Lochlan, actually you can sense that my heart isn’t here anymore. Moreover, I am good at attacking but in terms of defending, that is not something I am good at.”

Lin Qiong cupped his fists, “The Executor, you spent your life opening up new lands for the empire, I am willing to follow you. With us here, the empire will exist!”

Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Jing Yin etc knelt down, “We will follow Sir for our lives!”

I was a little helpless. I raised this bunch up and they were very loyal to me But because of that, the entire army was in my control. Lochlan even recognised me as his master. If one day he didn’t? I didn’t want to end up dying because of that.

I insisted, “Lochlan, I have made up my mind, no need to try to persuade me. Once Pearl wakes up, I will retire.”

He frowned and bit his teeth, “Master Li, you… You are really willing to abandon us?”

I smiled, “No, I won’t go far. I will still be here just that I won’t bother about world matters. If Tianling Empire is in trouble, I will come back. Believe me on that.”

Lochlan finally nodded his head, “Then… I won’t make things hard for Master Li. But after Master Li leaves, who can take over?”

I didn’t need to think, “Changfeng Army’s Zhao Kaiguo general is quite detailed and is good at defending. After him, Zhou Ning and Fang Ge Que are good too.”

Lochlan nodded, “I shall follow Master Li’s words. Once Master Li retires, I will make General Zhao the new Executor!”

He hesitated and then said, “Since Master Li has not left the empire and doesn’t want to be The Executor… Then… How about I give you a title?”

“What title?” I smiled and asked.

“Lochlan wants… To make Master Li King!”

“King?”

I was stunned and said, “I remember the officials all objected that someone not in the family becomes king. Tian Ling City is the Luoke family’s. I am Li so that is not good right?”

Lochlan was really determined, “No, I am the ruler, I say that it works. You helped me to open up the lands and sweep everyone. I am the first ruler of the continent in thousands of years. I don’t have to follow their rules. I just need Master Li to nod your head and I can make you king, who will dare to not follow?”

Lin Qiong, Situ Xin, Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Long Xing etc dozens of high ranking generals knelt down, “Please Marshal Li don’t reject, you are worthy!”

I was the Suiding Duke, now that I was becoming King, I was one of the top officials.

Thinking about it, it was okay. After resigning I didn’t have any powers so what if my brothers got bullied? En, being a king was quite reliable, who will bully me?

“Okay then!” I nodded and stopped rejecting.

Lochlan was delighted, “Great, I will choose a date! But… What title should I give you, what do you generals think?”

Situ Xin cupped his fists, “Marshal Li went to the west and swept Iron Skull City and Swirling Abyss City, what about West Sweeping King?”

My body shook, “Nope, another one please…”

Lin Qiong smiled, “Marshal Li has done well for the empire and once he succeeded he resigned. Marshal Li’s personality is one that is carefree and his name is Li xiao Yao so… Why not King Xiaoyao? What does your majesty think?”

Lochlan clapped his hands and smiled, “Great, that is great, what does Master Li think?”

I nodded, “En, no problem, let’s just follow your majesty’s words.”

“Great!”

Lochlan retreated and knelt down on one knee, “I will make Master Li King Xiaoyao, he isn’t restricted by the land and his title will pass down generations, never to be removed.”

“Ding!”

System Notification: Congratulations player Xiao Yao Zi Zai (China) for obtaining title of Xiao Yao King, player charm +400, hidden stats: Attack +20%, defence+40%, salary of 1 million gold a month that you can collect from the treasury of the main cities. Repair and teleportation costs are free and drop rate from killing people is doubled while self droprate is halved. You can move any army you want with a 100 thousand men limit!

……

I was delighted when I saw that, this was the effect that I wanted. I could be free but if people wanted to bully my men, I will come back and still be king!

Lin Qiong cupped his fists and smiled, “Congratulations master Li for becoming king!”

Han Yuan laughed, “A general becomes king, we can follow you and live well!”

Jing Yin resisted her laugh, “Although sir is king but he has resigned. You are still a general, how can you live well?”

He scratched his head, “Once I am sick of fighting, I will resign too and lead my family to be carefree.”

I was shocked, “When did you have a family?”

Long Xing was shocked, “His wife was someone you recommended, did you forget?”

“I…” I was speechless, that did happen. I approved it when I became The Executor. Who knew that even Han Yuan got a family.

I was speechless and said to myself, “Even Han Yuan has a family, it is time for me to get one…”

Lochlan smiled, “Does Master Li have someone you like? If you do that Lochlan will help you…”

I hurriedly said, “No need, the girl I love is in another world and I will be engaged in a few days… In this world it should be called fixed marriage, right that is it.”

“Congratulations Master Li!” Lochlan laughed.

Jing Yin cupped her fists, “Congratulations which girl is so lucky to become your wife?”

I thought about it and said, “Flaming Cloud Infanta Lin Wan Er.”

“Ah, so it is her!” She opened her mouth slightly, “No wonder, she is really beautiful, what a great match!”

Long Xing tilted her head, “General Jing, don’t think that we all don’t know. You like The Executor too right?”

Her face flushed red and she hurriedly said, “No, my only wish was to follow sir to battles, I have never thought about such things!”

Xia Ye crossed his arms, “Actually it is okay, if Sir wants he can also take General Jing Yin as a concubine. I think Flaming Cloud Infanta is so nice, she won’t treat her too badly.”

Her face flushed red, “That.. I can’t, moreover, Sir isn’t such a person… Even then… Flaming Cloud Infanta won’t allow someone with a background like mine…”

I was in a mess but looking at Jing Yin in an exquisite war robe, I was quite attracted. No wonder they said that the biggest blessing for guys was to have three wives and four concubines. I walked forwards and grabbed her hand before hugging her. She tensed up and she was even more nervous than when she charged up Iron Skull City alone.

“Sir, I…” She was in a mess and her body shook.

I smiled and hugged her, “Jing Yin I know your thoughts but we aren’t from the same world. I can’t spend every day with you so that would be hurting you. Our fate is just that.”

I let her go but she was already tearing up. She knelt down and her voice shook, “With Sir’s words, I can die without regrets!”

Xia Ye sighed, “Ah Qing, why? Sir can see past it but you can’t. Love makes so many people die, fate makes so many people troubled.”

Lochlan stood at the side, “Better than being alone…”

……

A while later, I asked, “Lochlan how is Pearl?”

Lochlan said, “Lady Frost has set a formation to chase the evil spirit out of her body. At the same time, she is protecting her body from damage so the outcome should be out in these two days. Master Li, how are you planning to deal with Pearl? She is the sister of the old emperor and my cousin, you can’t hurt her…”

“No, I am not such a person!”

“En, okay!”

Lochlan cupped his fists, “Then Master Li can decide what to do with her, I trust your judgment. Only one thing, you can’t release her to the north. I heard that a war occurred there and Sif fought with Qin Ge. The hybrid demons are mostly killed.”

“Ah?”
