My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Fujiwara no Shūjin couldn't help but shudder, but Lin Ye didn't look at him anymore. Instead, he turned to ask Wang Meng what the Japanese way of doing things was like in this timeline.

Although Wang Meng was stationed in the northern border most of the time, he had also dealt with the Japanese in the South China Sea when he followed Ye Fan.

He looked disgusted: "They're all a bunch of vicious, treacherous, and cunning villains."

Lin Ye nodded. Sure enough, a simple life is a simple life. It's like it has some kind of dirty gene. It's hateful in different times and dynasties.

He didn't say anything more, only casually stating, "Kill them all."

Fujiwara no Shujin's face turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, such as about his identity or the diplomatic consequences...

But all those words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one, because Lin Ye had already turned around, leaving him only with his back to him.

That seemingly frail figure was like an endless wall, blocking all his paths to survival.

Wang Meng responded and led his troops forward. Fujiwara no Tsurugi's eyes were bloodshot, and he led his remaining soldiers and ran towards the door.

Not long after, Wang Meng returned with his soldiers. His face was expressionless, but as he entered, he rubbed the soles of his boots on the threshold, removing a layer of dark red mud.

Several fresh corpses lay on the street not far from the door.

Lin Ye glanced at the corner of his eye at the glimpse of a piece of clothing peeking out from the half-open door behind him, curled his lips into a smile, pretended not to see it, and led his men directly back to the capital.

Shu Jingwei, who was behind the door, slumped to the ground, trembling violently. Her back was pressed against the cold wall, and she covered her mouth with both hands, afraid of making a sound.

Her hopes were dashed once again...

Tears welled up silently from her sunken eyes, streaming down her cheeks, which had finally gained some weight from the good food and drink the Western Region people had given her these past few days, and dripping onto the dusty ground.

After returning to the capital, Lin Ye began to draw on modern experience and directed his ministers to carry out post-disaster reconstruction step by step, and to establish a complete disaster prevention and relief system in Dayan.

He ordered the Ministry of Revenue to remeasure the land and count the population, and also ordered the Ministry of Works to build drainage ditches, reservoirs, and emergency warehouses according to the drawings he had made.

They also contacted Wang Musheng and, based on the actual situation of the large flame, asked him to find someone to create a specific disaster prevention plan.

Wang Musheng paid for expedited processing, and soon the plan was sent to Lin Ye. The document, which was over ten megabytes in size, covered everything from patrol and early warning systems to material reserves, from evacuation routes to sanitation and epidemic prevention.

Lin Ye instructed Wang Meng to oversee the implementation, while he himself took Xiao Douzi to patrol various places.

Time flies, and half a month has passed since Lin Ye turned off the sky screen.

According to the phone, the intermittent snow finally stopped on Friday, but the snow was too deep, so the kindergarten sent a message saying that classes would resume on Monday. So Lin Ye and Xiao Douzi stayed behind.

During the live broadcast, Lin Ye garnered over a billion shock points. The people of Da Yan watched him as an immortal descending to earth, able to turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist. The extra shock points generated by their faith and awe surged like a flood that had been unleashed.

At this moment, the post-disaster reconstruction costs are being spent without any hesitation, and with the help of Lin Ye and various system products, the reconstruction work is progressing very quickly.

Another month passed, and not only was the reconstruction work successfully completed, but Lin Ye also upgraded all the official roads that Ye Fan hadn't had time to build into cement roads.

The buildings and greenery in various places have all undergone major upgrades, and the entire Da Yan area has been completely renewed.

It was 6 p.m. Sunday evening in modern time, and the sky was just beginning to lighten over the Great Flame. The morning sun streamed slowly down from the eastern ridge, bathing the entire Great Flame in a warm golden light.

This day was the day of Xiao Douzi's enthronement ceremony.

After this battle, no one questioned Xiao Douzi's succession.

Of course, part of the reason is that those who had objections before are now starting to show their true colors.

In the 235th year of the Great Yan Dynasty, Ye Ling'er ascended the throne as Empress, changing the country's name to Zhao and the era name to Yongye. Lin Ye became the Supreme Emperor of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

Wang Meng, formerly known as General Dingyuan, was appointed as the Grand General Protector of the Nation.

Since the new emperor is still too young, most of the decisions are made by the retired emperor. When the retired emperor is not present, the Grand General of the State will temporarily handle state affairs.

The new emperor ascended the throne, granted a general amnesty, and the whole country rejoiced.

No one noticed that in a city near the Western Regions, under a sky bridge, a woman dressed in gray, her face obscured by her hair, listened to the excited discussions of the people on the bridge. Her bloodshot eyes widened, and finally, she breathed her last.

A few seconds later, Lin Ye, having received the system message, appeared in front of Shu Jingwei's corpse. He looked down at the filthy, dried-out body and clicked his tongue in disgust.

But he still stuffed the body into the spatial button and returned to the mountain where Ye Fan's body was dumped.

Summer has arrived, and the trees on the mountain are lush and green. Sunlight filters through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, and the occasional roars of wild animals can be heard from all around.

Lin Ye took out a knife and coldly stabbed several holes in the corpse.

Fresh blood gushed from the body, which had only recently died, spreading across the dark brown soil. The strong smell of rust quickly permeated the damp air.

The smell of blood will soon attract wild animals from the vicinity, and no beast would refuse a feast that has been delivered to its doorstep.

Niu Linye no longer wanted the space containing that unlucky corpse; he could give it to Wang Meng later.

Lin Ye was lost in thought when he looked up at the sky. It was a clear, azure blue, just like Ye Fan's eyes, which had never shown any gloom when facing him and Xiao Douzi.

Old Ye, your revenge has been achieved.

He silently finished speaking those words in his mind, stood there for a while, and then used a teleportation talisman to leave.

Shortly after he left, the first stray dog ​​approached the fresh corpse that had been tempting it, followed by a second, a third...

After the coronation ceremony, Lin Ye left all the follow-up matters to Wang Meng, telling him to contact him with the communication talisman if anything happened, and then took Xiao Douzi back to the modern world.

Little Douzi is only five years old. His main task is still going to kindergarten. He needs to learn how to govern a country, but there's no need to rush. The adults are still here.

After that, many things happened. Following the torrential rains of Dazhao, natural disasters began to occur all over the continent, and no country or tribe was spared.

Floods, droughts, earthquakes, and locust plagues came one after another as if by prior arrangement, ravaging this vast continent in turn.

However, with the experience of dealing with natural disasters in the past, coupled with the defensive fortifications built by Lin Ye after the reconstruction of Da Zhao, and the occasional help from Lin Ye with the system, Da Zhao was fully capable of withstanding the disaster.

Those preparations that initially seemed somewhat inexplicable to people played a crucial role in disaster after disaster. Under the organization of the government, people were evacuated in an orderly manner, disaster relief supplies arrived promptly, and casualties were minimized.

But those foreign tribes were not so lucky. They were completely unprepared, lacked proper disaster prevention facilities, had no experience in dealing with natural disasters, and had no "immortals" descending from the sky to help them.

Floods swept away their camps, earthquakes destroyed their houses, and the scorching sun killed their crops... In the end, the various countries had no choice but to petition, willing to be completely annexed by the Great Zhao in order to seek protection.

One after another, earnest letters of state were presented to the emperor's desk in the capital by envoys with trembling hands.

The Great Zhao Dynasty thus completely unified the continent. Emperor Ye Ling'er of the Great Zhao Dynasty became the most revered person on the continent. Wherever her small figure appeared, there were thunderous shouts of "Long live the Emperor!"

To Lin Ye's relief, Xiao Douzi remained as sensible as ever and did not become arrogant or complacent because of the flattery she received after becoming emperor.

Lin Ye took Xiao Douzi with him to help with disaster relief, visit the people, deal with officials, and meet with foreign envoys. He taught her how to read memorials and how to distinguish between truth and falsehood in the ministers' words, cultivating her abilities in various aspects.

As Xiao Douzi grew up, he reached the age of eight. At such a young age, he already possessed remarkable knowledge, spoke eloquently, and acted with great poise, astonishing all the subjects of the Great Zhao Dynasty. This was followed by joy and pride, for this was their Great Zhao Emperor.

Everyone on the streets is saying that His Majesty was taught by a celestial being and that he will surely bring peace and prosperity to the Great Zhao Dynasty for generations to come.

Lin Ye would also continue to livestream from time to time, showing the people of Dazhao modern life and earning some shock points for future use.

At this moment, five-year-old Shu Rou looked at the little figure on the sky who was showered with love and was extremely noble, and her last bit of spirit was completely extinguished.

Her small, thin body was wrapped in a dirty old coat. She stood at the edge of the crowd, looking up at the face in the sky that bore a slight resemblance to hers.

So bright, so dazzling, just like the sun in the sky...

She herself was like an insignificant speck of dust on this dirty ground.

She gave a self-deprecating laugh and didn't continue reading.

Instead, she raised her hand and brushed her overly long hair back, revealing her features—though thin, they still hinted at a future beauty. She straightened her clothes and walked into the city's famous brothel alley.

A faded red lantern hangs at the entrance of the alley, swaying gently in the wind.

Time flies, and before long, Xiao Douzi finished her middle school entrance exam and was admitted to Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, a nationally renowned school that produces top students like Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Lin Ye looked at the admission notice, even happier than when he himself had been admitted to university. He immediately held a grand celebration for Xiao Douzi's admission. Back in Da Zhao, he also contacted Wang Meng to directly exempt the year's taxes, allowing the people of the whole country to rejoice.

The banquet ended, and the guests left. Xiao Douzi and Lin Ye got into the car to go home.

Little Douzi has now grown up to Lin Ye's waist. The little dumpling that could once be held in his arms has grown taller, her features are gradually developing, and she has some of Ye Fan's heroic spirit in her eyes and brows, as well as some of her own unique liveliness.

Since starting third grade, Lin Ye has reduced physical contact with her considerably. The child is older now and should have her own space.

Little Douzi understood the reason and wouldn't throw herself into his arms and act spoiled like she did when she was little. But she was very happy today and, unusually, let herself snuggle into Lin Ye's arms.

"Godfather, I'm so happy!" Her voice was muffled, with a slight nasal tone.

Lin Ye smiled, his eyes crinkling, and a few fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes. Nine years had left some marks on his face, but they also made him appear more composed.

He raised his hand and rubbed Xiaodouzi's head.

"Godfather is also very happy, Little Douzi is great!"

Little Douzi buried her head even deeper. Having just finished eating, the slight bumps in the car made her feel sleepy. With her eyes closed, she murmured, "Little Douzi has become stronger again. Soon, she'll be able to protect her godfather..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Douzi's breathing became even, and he fell into a deep sleep against Lin Ye's chest.

Meanwhile, the main questline, which has remained unchanged for many years, has received new hints.

[Main quest progress updated. Target character "Ye Ling'er" current happiness level: 75%.]

Lin Ye was taken aback. Ever since Xiao Douzi ascended the throne nine years ago and his happiness index increased by 5%, it had remained stagnant. Lin Ye was content as long as Xiao Douzi was happy every day and hadn't paid any more attention. He never expected it to increase by another 10% today.

He thought of what Xiao Douzi had muttered to himself: was it because he had become stronger again and would soon be able to protect him that he felt happy...?

Lin Ye's heart softened; he felt as if his entire heart had melted into a pool of water, flowing in his chest and slowly swelling.

It only increased by 10% in nine years, so it will definitely be harder and harder to increase happiness levels in the future.

However, there's no rush.

He still has plenty of time and a long, long road ahead to walk with her.

As for happiness levels...

Lin Ye gently supported the person in his arms, helping her to sleep more peacefully. Amidst the girl's steady breathing, he slightly turned his head to look at the dim lights outside the car window.

It will eventually be full.
