Chapter 251 The Six Elders of Baiyue

Time passed quickly as Chen Hao and Yan Lingji chatted and waited. Soon, the six elders of the Baiyue clan entered the main hall, led by their maids.

"Your Majesty, the elders have arrived."

The maidservant respectfully reported to Yan Lingji at the entrance of the main hall.

"Yes!" Yan Lingji responded dignifiedly, then waved her hand and said, "You can go first."

"Yes!"

The maid bowed in return and then slowly withdrew from the hall.

After the maid left, the six elders of the Baiyue tribe stepped forward to respectfully greet Yan Lingji:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" ×6

Yan Lingji quickly raised her hand and said softly, "No need for formalities! The six elders don't need to be so polite in front of me!"

After the six elders straightened up, one of the still-attractive female elders smiled at Yan Lingji and said, "Etiquette must not be neglected! Your Majesty, you are now the leader of the entire Baiyue tribe, and these are all necessary courtesies."

The female elder was dressed in a long, fiery red dress shaped like flames, and her whole body exuded the same fiery aura as Yan Lingji, clearly indicating that she and Yan Lingji belonged to the same lineage of fire witches.

Out of curiosity, Chen Hao carefully examined the elder and found that although she was well-maintained and still had a charming appearance, she was already in her forties or fifties.

Looking at the level of familiarity between her and Yan Lingji, she is clearly Yan Lingji's senior in the Fire Witch lineage.

"All right!"

Yan Lingji seemed to have heard such words before, and sighed helplessly as she sat in her chair.

At this moment, another tall and burly male elder looked at Chen Hao and asked Yan Lingji curiously, "Your Majesty! May I ask who this gentleman is...?"

Wow~!

Yan Lingji stood up and came to Chen Hao's side, saying with a smile, "I forgot to introduce everyone to each other."

Then Yan Lingji pointed to the six Baiyue elders one by one and introduced them to Chen Hao in a soft voice: "Little Chen Hao, these are the elders who supported me to sit on the throne of Baiyue."

"They belong to different lineages: fire witch, power witch, poison witch, water witch, medicine witch, and corpse-driving witch."

The elder of the Liwu lineage was the same tall elder who had spoken up earlier. Although he was completely covered by formal attire, the same red totem as Wushuang Gui could still be seen on his exposed skin.

The elder of the Gu witch lineage was a woman, and she was about the same age as Yan Lingji.

The elder of the Water Witch lineage was a middle-aged man with a gentle and refined demeanor.

The elder of the Medicine Witch lineage was a rather kind old man.

As for the elder of the Corpse-Driving lineage, his temperament was inherited from the Corpse-Driving Demon lineage. He was completely covered by a cloak, making it difficult for Chen Hao to judge his age. He only knew that he was a man of considerable age.

After introducing the six elders to Chen Hao, Yan Lingji naturally had to introduce Chen Hao to the six elders as well.

"Elders!" Yan Lingji took Chen Hao's arm and said to the elders with a smile, "This is my husband, Chen Hao. You must take good care of him in the future."

After Yan Lingji finished her introduction, Chen Hao immediately greeted the six elders, saying, "Greetings, elders!"

"Husband?!" ×6

Upon seeing Chen Hao beside Yan Lingji, the six elders immediately exclaimed in shock.

The six elders looked at each other for a moment, and the female elder from the Fire Witch lineage asked Yan Lingji curiously, "Your Majesty, when did this happen?"

"I remember that Your Majesty has always been single and has never had a lover by your side, right?"

The elders of the Fire Witch lineage were clearly very familiar with Yan Lingji and knew a great deal about her situation. They knew that before Yan Lingji left Baiyue, although she had many suitors, none of them had ever caught her eye.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of a husband by Yan Lingji's side was quite unexpected for the elders of the Fire Witch lineage.

However, although the elders of the Fire Witch lineage were surprised that Yan Lingji had gained a husband, they were mostly just curious and did not pay much attention to Chen Hao appearing by Yan Lingji's side.

The customs of the Baiyue region are quite different from those of the Central Plains. It is common for women to snatch away men they like and take them home. This elder was already used to it.

As for the other five elders, upon hearing this news, one of them had a flickering gaze and an ugly expression. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, seemingly wanting to make trouble, but for some reason, he ultimately chose to remain silent.

Chen Hao noticed this scene and immediately realized that although these elders had put Yan Lingji on the throne of the Baiyue King, not all of them were truly supporting Yan Lingji.

Clearly, some people are already considering a marriage alliance with Yan Ling Ji...

This is a way to indirectly gain control over the Baiyue people, or to place one's own bloodline on the throne of Baiyue.

After all, Yan Lingji is a woman, and there are still loopholes she can exploit in the matter of inheriting the throne.

However, Chen Hao's appearance has shattered some of their hopes.

As for why those elders who clearly had lingering resentment and were unwilling to accept defeat didn't make trouble for Chen Hao?

Firstly, because Yan Lingji's strength surpasses that of all of them; secondly, because they pushed Yan Lingji to the throne, and Yan Lingji herself was not very willing and did not care too much about the throne.

If they really angered Yan Lingji, she might even quit.

Then the Baiyue people would truly become a laughing stock among the other nations.

In response to the question from the elders of the Fire Witch lineage, Yan Lingji replied with a smile, "I met Xiao Chenhao in the Hundred Beast Ridge area before I left Baiyue."

"Later, for some reasons, I took Xiao Chenhao with me and went to South Korea together."

"Our ability to find Prince Tianze in South Korea and rescue him is all thanks to Chen Hao."

"Oh?!" The elder of the Fire Witch lineage exclaimed in surprise, "Yan Lingji, is your husband also one of our Baiyue people?"

"Of course!"

Chen Hao glanced at Yan Lingji beside him and nodded with a smile.

Chen Hao's first place in this world was in the Baiyue region, and his wife Yan Lingji was also from Baiyue, so Chen Hao could naturally be considered a genuine Baiyue person.

"Good~ good~!" The elder of the Fire Witch lineage laughed happily, "Although I don't mind where Yan Lingji's husband is from, it would be even better if he were from our Baiyue region."

Chen Hao was quite unfazed by the joy of the elders of the Fire Witch lineage.

After all, Chen Hao had encountered various forms of regional discrimination when he was adventuring in the original world.

If the 21st century cannot eliminate this gap, then we cannot expect that people in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods would be indifferent to such matters.

Chapter 252 The Implementation of Parliamentary System, the Gate to the Cave Heaven Falls to the Baiyue

After exchanging pleasantries, the elder of the Fire Witch lineage asked Yan Lingji, "Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning us here?"

Yan Lingji withdrew her right hand from Chen Hao's arm and gracefully returned to its original position. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she said seriously, "The reason I invited all the elders here this time is because I realized that I am not good at handling political affairs, so I want to set up a department to assist me in managing Baiyue."

"Assist the King in handling state affairs?" The elder of the Fire Witch lineage looked puzzled.

The other five elders looked at each other, and all of them saw doubt in each other's eyes.

The six elders were in positions to assist Yan Lingji in handling government affairs, and they didn't understand why Yan Lingji was going to do something so unnecessary.

"That's right!"

Yan Lingji nodded gently, and then explained to the six elders of Baiyue the parliamentary system, or cabinet system, that Chen Hao had just mentioned.

After the six elders understood the cabinet system, the elder of the Fire Witch lineage immediately stopped them in alarm:

"No, Your Majesty! This method will cause you to lose control of the country and incite internal strife among the Baiyue people."

The other five elders were either deep in thought or had shifty eyes, but none of them immediately offered any advice to Yan Lingji.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Yan Lingji shook her head at the elders of the Fire Witch lineage and said with a faint smile, "Although I was fortunate enough to become the king of the Baiyue tribe, I am well aware that I do not have the talent to govern a country well."

"Although a parliamentary system would reduce my power significantly, isn't it well-suited to the current Baiyue region?"

"after all..."

Yan Lingji calmly patted the documents on the desk, her gaze falling on the other elders: "None of you really intended for me to participate in the affairs of the Baiyue tribe, did you?"

Upon hearing Yan Lingji's words, several elders' eyes flickered with slight surprise, as if they hadn't expected Yan Lingji to discover their scheme.

Although the Baiyue tribes put Yan Lingji on the throne of their tribe, they only wanted to unite the Baiyue tribes as soon as possible during this critical period of change in the world in order to deal with the impending turmoil.

certainly...

Before Yan Lingji returned, some people in the Baiyue region were plotting to unify the scattered Baiyue tribes, but they had not yet found a good opportunity.

The great changes in the world, the return of Yan Lingji and the news she brought, gave these people an opportunity to unite the various tribes of Baiyue under the guise of dealing with the world catastrophe.

As for Yan Lingji becoming the Queen of Baiyue, that was entirely by chance.

Although the Baiyue tribes placed Yan Lingji on the throne of the Baiyue tribe, they never intended to hand over all the power of the Baiyue tribe to Yan Lingji.

"This is because..."

The elder of the Fire Witch lineage opened his mouth, too embarrassed to say anything.

This senior member of the Fire Witch lineage, whom Yan Lingji affectionately called Aunt Liu, was able to become the current elder of the Baiyue tribe. It would have been absolutely impossible for her to be unaware of the schemes of the Baiyue tribes.

However, she did not discuss these things as openly as Yan Lingji.
