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

Chapter 444 If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly! (Please subscribe and vote!)

Upon hearing this, Dai Xiao was startled. The imperial majesty he had just mustered vanished like a deflated balloon. He hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted to the soldiers who were about to storm into the palace, "Come back! Get out here!"

Several soldiers were kicked by Dai Xiaoyao because they were a moment too slow to leave the palace.

If Dai Xiaoyao had known that the person inside was Li Chen, he wouldn't have dared to even stand at the palace gate, let alone go in.

If you disturb Li Chen, then even if he were the emperor, it wouldn't matter.

Dai Xiaoyao is a normal male, though somewhat lecherous.

What's in the palace? Naturally, it's beautiful women, piles of beautiful women, beauties of unparalleled grace.

Those were the areas that Dai Xiaoyao longed for and yearned for.

But Li Chen is inside. What does that mean? It means that Li Chen is enjoying it.

The issue isn't that Dai Xiaoyao feels humiliated; he doesn't even dare to think that way. What he's afraid of is whether Li Chen will be angry if he finds out about his actions.

After much deliberation, Dai Xiaoyao finally decided to stand still and wait for Li Chen to finish before going in to apologize. He figured Li Chen might be having so much fun by then that he wouldn't hold it against him!
Although he felt sorry for Zhu Zhujing's beauty, what did it matter compared to his own safety? He was the emperor now, and he could have as many beauties as he wanted! After Li Chen left the harem, he would recruit a hundred beauties into the palace, no, a thousand! Dai Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Time passed second by second. Dai Xiaoyao's expectations went from only a few incense sticks' worth of time to several hours. Finally, as he waited, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and the female voice inside gradually quieted down.

That night, Dai Xiaoyao was both afraid and envious. Although he looked haggard with dark circles under his eyes, he cautiously inquired about information from the eunuchs and palace maids.

That's right. An emperor who couldn't even enter his own palace tried to get information from the people inside. Dai Xiaoyao was that emperor.

Hearing Li Chen still enjoying himself, he couldn't help but secretly give Li Chen a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of the Saint Realm Human Emperor of the Tian Ce Empire, he was indeed someone he had to look up to in every aspect.

He was already afraid of being blamed by Li Chen, and even if he was stupid, he knew that Li Chen had worked hard all night and would need to eat if he didn't sleep. So he immediately ordered the general next to him, "Go and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare breakfast now, and be quick! Oh, and don't make any delicacies, make something like tiger penis, deer penis, bull penis, horse penis, sheep penis, or pig penis!"

The general nodded and, without the slightest delay, went to carry it out.

However, as soon as the general left, a number of women entered the palace from outside. They were all famous beauties of the Starfall Empire!

Dai Xiaoyao asked the guard captain in confusion, "What exactly is going on?"

He couldn't understand it. Even as the emperor, he didn't have such great authority. Who could so recklessly summon all the beauties in the capital to the palace?

"It was Miss Zhu's idea," the guard captain said cautiously.

Dai Xiaoyao's expression changed several times before he finally sat down in the corner with a wry smile.

I knew it was her!

At this moment, Dai Xiaoyao understood perfectly well that this was Zhu Zhuying's revenge—a naked revenge, a revenge that left no room for compromise!

As his childhood sweetheart, he knew very well that Zhu Zhuying either wouldn't do anything at all, or if she did, she would definitely go all the way.

You've been holding a grudge for just stealing two back then?
It seems that the beauties of the Starfall Dynasty will have to be imported from abroad in the future.

Even knowing all this, what could he do? He could only watch helplessly—no, he couldn't see it yet! "You, come here." Dai Xiaoyao smiled bitterly for a moment, then pulled the guard captain over.

The commander approached Dai Xiaoyao, his face showing hesitation.

Dai Xiaoyao took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing to speak to the guard commander: "Go after General Hong and have him instruct the imperial kitchen to add some tonics. If they don't have any, buy them from neighboring countries. Get things like thousand-year-old ginseng, snow lotus from Tianshan, and black goji berries from century-old trees. Add some seasonings to improve the taste, so that His Majesty Tian Ce can enjoy them whenever he wants."

After saying that, Dai Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and, like a servant, tried his best to meet his master's needs.

As time passed, news of Li Chen's continued indulgence in pleasure within the Starfall Empire's harem spread like wildfire.

Tasha Kingdom.

"You damned bastard, you only just came back today to tell me such important news as His Majesty Tian Ce's fondness for women? From now on, any news about His Majesty Li Chen must be delivered to me as quickly as possible, understand?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The envoy was extremely aggrieved. He had been traveling day and night to obtain this information from the Starfall Empire, and three of his fast horses, which possessed the bloodline of demonic beasts, had died from the journey. How could he have been delayed? Of course, he only thought this to himself and dared not explain it aloud.

The King of Tasha Kingdom snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "Send out the order that all princesses of marriageable age in Tasha Kingdom must depart for the Starfall Empire today!"

The same scene was playing out in many other small countries, including Baifan Kingdom. Some of them were loyal to the Tian Ce Empire, while others were opportunists. But without exception, they all wanted to exchange their princesses for more supplies and armor or to get closer to the Tian Ce Empire.

Pillow talk is something you can't guard against. If your own princess is favored, why would the Tian Ce Empire not take care of her?

Li Chen was quite surprised by this. Zhu Zhuying had only told him that there were many beauties in the southern countries and wanted him to appreciate them, but it turned out that beauties from all over the country had been sent to him? Well then, let him appreciate them carefully.

Even so, a competitive spirit has emerged among the small countries, much like the extended family members in a marketplace showing off their children's success.

Our country sent a total of ten princesses to serve His Majesty twice. How about your country?
Oh dear, even the top eleven on my list of beauties aren't as capable as the children from your country. They only served His Majesty Li Chen three times and were casually praised by His Majesty as "indeed very unique."

Oh ho, then let's do it. My princesses were also praised by His Majesty, who said they were quite good at serving people.

Of course, it's impossible to know how much of this was fabricated by them to save face, or whether it actually happened.

A clever princess from one country brought back news that Li Chen seemed to prefer mature, charming women.

This made the king, who was the first to receive the news, look at his harem with shining eyes, and finally, full of anticipation, he sent his harem to the Starfall Empire's palace.

Soon, the queen of a small country sent back a message saying that Li Chen had slept with her six times. The king of this small country compared the number of times his daughters had been slept with the queen's letter and immediately confirmed his previous guess. He then began to sell the news to other countries and made a fortune.

This news caused a huge stir, and soon the kings of the various countries that had bought the information began packing up their harems, and one after another, new queens arrived at the Starfall Empire.

At this moment, Dai Xiaoyao was somewhat worried, because to be precise, he was not married. He didn't even have a princess when he was a prince. Now, Li Chen was favoring his brother's harem.

Dai Xiaoyao felt uneasy when he saw that emperors from other countries were sending their harems to him, because if he served Li Chen well, he would definitely gain more authority to purchase military equipment.

All the beauties in Xingluo Kingdom's capital have been mobilized by Zhu Zhuying. It's all thanks to Zhu Zhuying. Where am I supposed to find beauties for Li Chen?
Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman walked in.
