I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 391 The pain of facing an insurmountable enemy is far greater than my own! (Please subscribe and vote!)
The scene before them surprised not only Gu Xiangling, but also Li Chen and Qin Zhan.

Li Chen thought to himself: Was my intention so obvious? Why did you two just give it to me right away? I didn't even say anything.

Qin Zhan tactfully closed the door, creating a pleasant fighting environment for Li Chen, as a three-man squad was no easy task.

However, there was one thing he didn't understand. He had tried everything to get Gu Xiangling back then, but to no avail. Now, Li Chen had only followed him into the room, and Gu Xiangling and her daughter were already vying to offer themselves to him.

Are the differences between people really that great?

After closing the door, Qin Zhan strode to the lotus pond in the courtyard. He stared at his reflection in the water and muttered angrily, "So what if the master is a little more handsome than me? So what if he's a one-in-a-million Divine Realm expert? Why are you two making such a fuss?"

Inside the room, Gu Xiangling and her daughter stood still, awaiting Li Chen's orders.

Especially Qin Xinqiao, even though she was still unmarried, for some reason, when she saw Li Chen's handsome face, she wasn't very resistant to this kind of thing, and she was very decisive in giving it to him.

Perhaps her mother was thinking: how could they, mother and daughter, possibly offend someone that even Qin Zhan wouldn't dare to offend? She feared that even if Li Chen didn't say anything, Qin Zhan wouldn't let them off easily.

What she was thinking was: He's so handsome, I might as well give it a try!
"No need to argue, I appreciate your kindness, let's join in." Li Chen wanted to see if they were as exaggerated as they appeared on the surface.

"My lord, then let my mother guide me from the side, so that I may not do anything wrong and spoil your enjoyment," Qin Xinqiao said nervously.

Although it made her feel a little uncomfortable in front of her mother, this was the most appropriate solution at the moment.

Women admire strength; it's an instinct ingrained in their genes. Moreover, Qin Xinqiao knows better than anyone that her second uncle, Qin Zhan, is a two-faced scoundrel. The fact that he is so respectful to Li Chen is enough to show that Li Chen's background is anything but simple; he is very likely from a powerful clan or a hidden sect.

If she can win the favor of such a young prodigy, then the head of the Qin family will not dare to harm her and her daughter.

This is why she didn't know the protagonist's identity was the emperor; if she had known, she wouldn't have been afraid of Qin Zhan.

Li Chen nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Qin Xinqiao's suggestion.

Once Qin Xinqiao received permission, she immediately stopped hesitating and quickly untied the flamboyant clothes that were binding her.

After seeing it, Li Chen realized that he was only superficial, and that his true abilities were hidden and could be even more exaggerated.

It's an exaggerated kind of beauty that makes people love it so much they can't put it down.

Outside, Gu Zhan listened to the symphony gradually rising from inside. His feelings of envy and resentment turned into hatred. His facial features were distorted with extreme anger, and his eyes stared fiercely into the distance like those of a wounded wolf. That direction was the dungeon where Qin Hong was imprisoned.

As a loyal dog, he naturally dared not resent Li Chen, nor even harbor the slightest disrespect towards him.

But he was very frustrated and needed to find a place to vent.

"Why should you get to enjoy all the good things? Gu Xiangling is like that, and so is the position of head of the family. You were only born a few years earlier than me, so why should you get to enjoy them all!"

Qin Zhan took a deep breath, and the resentment in his eyes gradually turned into a sinister look.

Unable to vent his anger, he naturally blamed everything on his older brother.

Half an hour later, Qin Zhan arrived at the dungeon with two servants.

Qin Zhan strode to Qin Hong's cell and waved to his two servants. The servants immediately took out steaming dishes and two jars of fine wine from the food box they had brought.

He intended to inflict both psychological and physical torture on Qin Hong. Qin Hong stared coldly at Qin Zhan, remaining silent.

The two have been rivals since childhood, and it would be strange if Qin Zhan, now in power, didn't come to show off in front of him, the loser.

Why should I respond?

Qin Zhan wasn't angry at Qin Hong's appearance. He continued eating and drinking, and after a while, he asked, "Brother, aren't you worried about your wife and niece?"

"Hmph, you toad trying to eat swan meat?"

Qin Hong had long known that Qin Zhan harbored ill intentions towards Gu Xiangling, but he didn't care at all. Gu Xiangling was extremely conservative and was like a dead fish in bed from beginning to end. Otherwise, he wouldn't have imprisoned so many women in the manor for thrills.

It was precisely because Gu Xiangling was convinced of the unwavering principle of "marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog" that Qin Hong's private affairs became increasingly outrageous over the years.

Qin Zhan picked up the wine jar, took a sip, burped, and said to Qin Hong with a smile, "Whether I eat swan meat or not is none of your business, but my sister-in-law is very proactive in front of that lord."

Qin Zhan then vividly described how Gu Xiangling massaged Li Chen, how she rubbed against him, and even described Gu Xiangling's cries.

Qin Hong seemed to be frozen in place, with only his old face constantly changing between pale and yellow, making for a truly fascinating scene.

Qin Zhan looked Qin Hong up and down with great interest, feeling a sudden surge of satisfaction. "Keep pretending," he thought, "you must be feeling really bad inside."

After all, I know how much you like Gu Xiangling. You may not care about other women, but this one is the only one that makes you feel bad.

Now you can't even enjoy good food and drink, and you're still thinking about how your beloved has been taken away. Isn't that double torment?

Qin Hong, who had risen to the position of family head, was naturally a man of deep thoughts. He quickly realized that Gu Xiangling was acting this way mostly for Qin Xinqiao's sake. His face turned ugly, and he snorted coldly, "Xiangling must be doing this for Qiao'er, which is why she has to humble herself like this. On the contrary, when that beast sees your wife and daughter, you will suffer the same fate!"

Qin Hong was in a bad mood, but he was also prepared to annoy Qin Zhan.

If the instigation succeeds, Qin Zhan might betray Li Chen and die before him.

In any case, Qin Hong didn't think his younger brother's abilities were sufficient to deal with a Saint Realm expert.

But Qin Zhan wasn't afraid. He said confidently, "It seems you really don't care about me, brother. My wife weighs over 300 pounds and my daughter weighs 200 pounds, understand?"

These words broke Qin Hong's defenses. What hurt him even more than the loss of his wife and daughter was that his younger brother was so completely unsuspecting.

Having vented his anger enough, Qin Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.

After Qin Zhan left the cell, Qin Hong couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was perfectly fine at first, and not particularly angry, but then the images flashed through his mind, and he immediately lost his temper.

He was extremely distressed. He had originally planned that after the competition ended in the next few days, he would get Luo Jiazi and bring his beloved wife back, so that the two women he loved most would both be by his side.

As a result, everything benefited Li Chen. How could he not be angry!

Qin Hong is cursing Li Chen very loudly, and Li Chen is cursing very loudly too!
