The tyrannical father was so intimidated when his own daughter was found during the raid.

"My daughter—"

A deafening howl pierced through the thick stone walls of the underground hall.

It overpowered the strong stench of blood flowing all over the ground.

The fully armed and menacing Imperial Guards all looked like wooden stakes struck by lightning.

They stared wide-eyed at their tyrant, who was a ruthless killer who had just cleaved the chief eunuch in two.

He was kneeling on the blood-stained ground, completely undignified, clinging tightly to the leg of a female black market boss!

The black market henchmen were terrified, thinking the tyrant had gone mad.

"Your eyebrows, your nose, your mouth..."

Su Zhen didn't care at all how much the people around him were collapsing.

With her head tilted back, her eyes red and swollen, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

He grabbed the sleeve of the dark gold dragon robe, worth 100,000 taels of silver and woven from silkworm silk, and hastily wiped the snot and tears from his face.

"So alike! Absolutely so!"

Su Zhen was so excited that he was incoherent, his finger trembling as he pointed at Su Yaoyao's face.

Su Yaoyao's thighs went numb from his hug, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

She couldn't hold back any longer and rolled her eyes dramatically in front of this notorious tyrant.

To everyone's surprise, Su Zhen cried even harder after this, like a wronged child weighing 200 pounds.

"Even the way you roll your eyes is exactly like your deceased mother's!"

Su Zhen burst into tears, crying, "Eight years! I've been searching for you for eight whole years!"

"Your mother died under mysterious circumstances, and you, who were just born, disappeared without a trace. I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime!"

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"

Su Yaoyao sat stiffly on the white tiger-skin armchair, looking down at the tyrant who was crying his eyes out.

My inner voice screamed wildly.

【No way? They've already recognized each other as family?】

[Were people in your ancient times so casual about recognizing relatives? Didn't they go through a process like a blood test or something?]

Aren't you afraid I'm an undercover agent sent by someone else? You're just going to admit it based on looks and an eye roll?

Hearing this unbridled sentiment, Su Zhen hugged the leg even tighter.

Blood test for kinship?

What are those low-level tricks that are easy to tamper with!

I can hear your thoughts!

Aside from one's own flesh and blood, who else in this world can share this magical connection with me through blood?

Even if you really are an imposter, just because you were able to warn me in advance and save my life with the anesthetic, I've already decided on this daughter!

Although Su Yaoyao was internally ranting, her mind was racing.

[Wait, regardless of whether he's mistaken someone for someone else, this is the Emperor of the Great Yuan Kingdom!]

[The richest and most powerful person in the world, possessing an entire national treasury!]

[If I could get this hand in hand, what would I need to be a black market boss for? The whole world would be my ATM!]

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so grab it while you can!

Thinking of this, Su Yaoyao stuffed the pure gold abacus in her hand into her bosom.

She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her facial expression.

She forced out two glistening tears and shouted with all her might:

"father!"

Its call was so clear and resonant, with a lingering, melodious quality.

Su Zhen was trembling all over, as if he had heard celestial music and his ears were suddenly clear. He was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

"Oh! My good daughter! My good daughter!"

The father and daughter hugged tightly and patted each other on the back in unison.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, an unprecedented and unparalleled shameless father-daughter duo was officially established amidst a pool of blood.

Su Zhen felt a strange sense of pride when he heard his daughter scheming about how to spend his money.

So what if my daughter likes money?

The national treasury has plenty of money!

If I don't have enough money, I'll just raid the homes of those corrupt officials!

Su Zhen stood up from the ground.

The weeping old father disappeared.

Instead, a ruthless tyrant reigned supreme, dominating the world.

With a wave of his hand, his blood-stained sleeves traced a sharp arc in the air.

"Issue my decree!"

The Imperial Guards immediately knelt down on one knee in unison, the clanging of their armor deafening.

"Today's crackdown on the black market was a complete misunderstanding!"

"The underground black market is to be shut down immediately, and no one is to be disturbed!"

Su Zhenzhong's powerful voice echoed in the underground lobby.

"Furthermore, this black market will henceforth be the legitimate private property of the Crown Princess of Dayuan, exempt from all taxes!"

The Crown Princess?!

The entire audience gasped.

The black market underlings originally thought they were all going to be beheaded and their entire families executed today.

In the blink of an eye, their eldest daughter became the Crown Princess of the current dynasty?

Wouldn't that make them direct subordinates of royalty?!

Scarface was so excited that he slapped himself hard across the face.

After confirming that it wasn't a dream, he immediately took the lead in frantically kowtowing in the blood.

"Long live the Crown Princess!"

Su Yaoyao looked at all this with satisfaction, her heart filled with joy.

[This tyrannical father of mine is actually quite shrewd; he protected my assets and even gave me a tax-free legal status.]

[From now on, let's see who dares to collect protection money from me when doing business in this capital!]

Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Su Yaoyao jumped off the armchair and walked casually to the commander of the Imperial Guards.

He patted the commander's priceless chainmail armor.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we're all on the same side from now on."

Su Yaoyao waved her hand and pointed to the dozens of large mahogany chests filled with gold and silver jewelry in the center of the hall.

"Tonight, I, the Crown Princess, will be officially recognized as a member of the imperial family and move into the palace."

"So much dowry... no, luggage, my brothers are too weak to carry it."

Su Yaoyao smiled as she looked at the dumbfounded commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Please, gentlemen, put down your swords, spears, and halberds for now."

"Help me carry these boxes back to the palace intact!"

The Imperial Guard, the elite force protecting the Emperor's safety.

Being assigned to do manual labor for a moving company?!

The commander of the Imperial Guards looked to Su Zhen for help, hoping that the emperor could stop Su Yaoyao's absurd behavior.

To everyone's surprise, Su Zhen glared at him and immediately retorted angrily, "Why are you looking at me? The Crown Princess's orders are my orders!"

"Didn't you hear what the Crown Princess said? Hurry up and go move it!"

"If you damage even a single gold leaf of the Crown Princess's robes, I will chop off your heads!"

The commander shrank back, almost bursting into tears on the spot.

"Yes, yes, as you command!"

These are the ruthless and imposing Imperial Guards who kill without blinking an eye.

They all had their weapons hanging at their waists, and were carrying the heavy mahogany chests with heavy breathing.

"Hey you, tall guy, be careful with that box of top-quality red coral. If you break it, you couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold yourself!"

"And you, make sure those two boxes of gold ingots are sealed tightly, don't let the wind blow them away!"

Su Yaoyao stood aside, gesturing and pointing like a wealthy landlord.

Scarface and his underworld cronies served tea and water to the side.

Watching the high and mighty Imperial Guards do hard labor for their boss, these roughnecks felt incredibly happy.

Su Zhen crossed his arms and looked at his daughter's money-grubbing appearance, growing more and more fond of her.

Half an hour later, everything was packed up.

The large and imposing procession left the murky underground black market.

The dignified Imperial Guards transformed into heavily armored porters, carrying dozens of heavy boxes.

Led by Su Zhen and Su Yaoyao, they swaggered towards the capital of Dayuan.

Meanwhile, deep within the Great Abyss Imperial Palace.

Inside the magnificent Chuxiu Palace, the brazier burned brightly, and the precious ambergris incense rose gently into the air.

Consort Jing, the most powerful woman in the harem, leaned lazily against the chaise longue.

She tapped her meticulously maintained red nail polish on the small rosewood table, awaiting good news.

A trusted eunuch scrambled into the hall and knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic? What kind of behavior is this?"

The imperial concubine didn't even lift her eyelids, her voice both charming and sarcastic.

"Your Majesty...His Majesty is not dead!"

The eunuch trembled all over, his voice shaking.

"Not only did he not die, but Eunuch Li Fu was also killed by the Emperor with a single sword strike! The 'trapping medicine' that Eunuch Li prepared was completely useless!"

"What?!"

The imperial concubine sat up straight, her beautiful face pale.

"Not only that..."

The eunuch swallowed hard and reported with even greater despair.

"The Emperor has adopted an illegitimate daughter on the black market, and is now leading the Imperial Guards in a grand display to bring that wild girl to the palace!"

"The Emperor even issued a decree in public, bestowing upon that wild girl the title of Crown Princess of the Great Yuan Kingdom!"

The voice just fell.

"Bang!"

The priceless Ru kiln teacup beside the imperial concubine was violently swept to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The scalding hot tea splashed all over the floor.

"The Crown Princess?!"

The imperial concubine's face was contorted, and even her exquisite makeup could not conceal the resentment and madness in her eyes.

She's been fighting in the palace for so many years, racking her brains, but she hasn't even gotten close to giving birth to a crown prince.

Now, some random cat or dog picked up off the street dares to climb over her head and become the Crown Princess?!

The imperial concubine took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

She stood up, her sharp nails digging deeply into her palms, a chilling sneer curling at the corner of her mouth.

"A bastard from the common people, does she even deserve to be the Crown Princess? Rong Momo, prepare the carriage!"
