Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 34: The Bride Price...

Lin En didn't care at all about angering the aristocracy of the Tianming Empire, because he already had some ideas about breaking the power of the aristocracy.

After all, when reading the background story of the game, Lin En was very disgusted with the actions of most of the aristocracy, but due to the game settings, he had no way to eliminate the harm for the people.

Because the friendly NPCs killed by the player will be refreshed, their work is useless. Instead, the player himself will become a red name because of this attack behavior. It takes tens of thousands of demonized monsters or demons to eliminate the so-called "sin value" and become white name again.

But even with such punishment, it is still a waste of effort but ineffective, and the assassination of noble NPCs in the street and even sneaking into noble mansions to kill entire families are still rampant.

It's really not the players' fault for looking for trouble. The writer of the game's background story has such a good literary touch, it's written a little too vividly. The pictures and scenes are just like a documentary film playing in front of everyone, which is so easy to empathize with.

Lin En himself actually did this kind of thing, and became a celebrity for two and a half months. The evildoers who made him hide for a month were the current Emperor of Heaven's Mandate and the Pope of the Temple of War next door.

These two...are really worthless. The bad things they have done are the kind that would be automatically blocked by the system if written in novels, and cannot be shown to the public at all.

Neither the words "tyrant" nor "fool" are enough to describe some emperors, especially when they have such a large group of insect-like nobles under their command who are gnawing at the country.

The reason why Lin En chose to visit Tianming City as his first stop was not only because it was closest to the World Tree, nor was it just because there were many "acquaintances" here, but also because he had some plans to complete some unfinished business.

If he were asked to reform the corrupt empire, ease class contradictions step by step, and build a better home for the people, to be honest, Lin En is not the material at all.

But if it comes to solving the problem "from the beginning", then Lynn is very good at it, starting with solving their leader...

"Very well, then. As you wish, but Vivian cannot go back with you... Don't get me wrong, I'm not against your relationship, but we are, after all, members of the imperial nobility. Before the Emperor makes a decision, we cannot stand on your side."

It was not until Lynn changed his previous calm tone and asked him to take him home in an almost imperative tone that Marquis Jones realized that the man in the carriage behind him was not the kind of obedient son-in-law who needed to please him. He was essentially the terrifying strong man who could shake the entire empire with a stomp of his foot.

The reason he could say so much to him before was probably all for Vivian's sake. If he really wanted to argue with him, she would probably be able to crush him to death with one hand.

"Everyone has their own actions. My actions have nothing to do with you. I won't force you to choose sides. Of course, no one else can force you to choose sides. If anyone is angry with you because of this, have Vivian leave me a message. I, Lin En, may not have any other abilities, but I do have the ability to save and kill anyone I want among the millions of soldiers."

As Lin En spoke, he gave directions to the Marquis Jones who was driving. His home was not particularly far from the aristocratic district. At least they could get home before the incident at the dinner party spread.

A million-strong army, you can save whoever you want, and kill whoever you want...

Marquis Jones savored Lynn's domineering words, and the slight fear in his heart suddenly dissipated.

As expected of a demigod, he speaks with such force... Wait! How old are demigods generally?

Marquis Jones suddenly realized this problem and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Among the demigods recorded in historical records, the youngest seems to have achieved the demigod realm in his 260s. And the young man beside him, guiding him, is actually... wow! He's probably too young to even be Vivian's great-grandfather. This isn't just an old cow eating young grass; this is probably an old monster digging for seeds in the ground!

"Well, we haven't asked about your family situation yet... Ahem, you're going to date Vivian, so we have to know what kind of person you are..."

Since it concerns the lifelong happiness of his precious daughter, although Marquis Jones is a little timid, he still bites the bullet and acts like an elder, asking about Lynn's specific situation in the tone of a future father-in-law.

"Me? Oh, my last name is Lin, my name is En, I'm male, and I'm twenty-six this year... No, they said it's been a year, so I should be twenty-seven. I was born in an orphanage, have no parents, am a warrior, and am level 999. I have houses in all ten major cities on the Divine Blessing Continent, but I don't have a car. My savings are in the tens digits..."

Facing his future father-in-law and his future mother-in-law who was staring at him silently, Lin En solemnly introduced himself.

Although he has no experience in this area, he has seen a lot and knows that it is just the same few things over and over again, which are nothing more than age, occupation, family situation, income, car, house, and savings.

"By the way, as for the betrothal gift..."

"No, please let me take a break first..."

After saying all the above, Lin En remembered another key point, but before he could give a number to show his sincerity, Marquis Jones waved his hand and asked him to stop talking.

Twenty-seven years old...

He was eight years older than Vivian, but they were still a good match.

But he was twenty-seven years old, level 999...

What kind of concept is this? It's like a god in heaven saying he's only a hundred years old this year...

"Oh, there's one more thing I need to mention. I'm going to have an eight-year-old daughter soon, but she's adopted, not my biological child. So far, I only have one lover, Vivian."

Although Marquis Jones asked him to take it easy, as the carriage gradually approached his residence, Lin En saw his own house and the gate next door from afar and remembered the point he had omitted about his family situation.

An eight-year-old daughter? He was exactly eight years older than Vivian, which meant he had a child when he was nineteen, Marquis Jones thought silently.

As for what he said about his daughter not being his biological daughter, only a devil would believe that. How could a man like him, who couldn't even be described as a child of destiny, fall in love at the age of 27?
You have to know that even though he was considered a late marriage among aristocratic children, Vivian was running around the yard when he was 27 years old.

He also said that Vivian was his only lover so far. What about before? What about in the future? Why didn't he say that from now on, Vivian would be his only woman?

Well, this is a bit too much to ask. Even if he is just the son of a baron, it is impossible for him to find only one woman. With Lin En's strength and wealth, finding a few more women is no problem. As a father-in-law, he has more than one woman in his family, the child's mother, but there is only one Marquise.
