Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 31 The Reason for Unifying the World: Awesome! Cool!

Nan Feihuang looked at Xue Qinghe and nodded firmly, "Brother Xue, I acknowledge you, not your status as the Crown Prince of Tiandou."

His words pleased Xue Qinghe greatly; he acknowledged her, not the Crown Prince of Tiandou. That was very well said.

She was confident that she could turn this boy, who was already a big fan of hers, into a die-hard fan like Xue Ke.

Even if she regains her identity as Qian Renxue, she can still make him loyal to her.

Bibi Dong has always wanted to gain control of the agricultural power of the Gulei Kingdom, but has not been able to do so. This time, she even personally conferred a title upon Lan Xue in an attempt to win her over.

But so what? This kingdom will eventually fall into Nan Feihuang's hands. Once she controls Nan Feihuang, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling the entire kingdom?

This is a great achievement for the Spirit Hall, and it will give them more confidence to reclaim the Pope's throne in the future.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are at odds. Unaware of the truth about Bibi Dong's past, she still doesn't know why Bibi Dong hates her, her biological daughter, so much.

The resolute Qian Renxue couldn't understand it, so she stopped thinking about it. If you don't like it, so be it, but the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall belongs to the Qian family. If Bibi Dong wants to pass it on to an outsider, she will never agree to it. She will take back this position one day.

"Alright, Feihuang, it's getting late. You should go and rest first. We can chat some more later when we have time," Xue Qinghe said with a smile, patting Nan Feihuang's head.

She no longer regarded Nan Feihuang as a child; what child could analyze the situation to such an extent?

Instead, she regarded him as a politically astute and somewhat precocious kindred spirit. As expected of the crown prince of the kingdom, he was insightful and far superior to her sister who knew nothing.

Back in the room, Nan Feihuang had just turned on the light when he saw Xun Yu and the other two sitting upright in chairs.

"My lord, although I asked you to deceive Qian Renxue, you've acted too quickly. Do you want to intervene in the Heavenly Dou court so early? This may not be a good idea," Xun Yu said, frowning.

"First of all, don't forget that we are preparing to stop, or rather, intercept, Xue Qinghe's plan. When her identity is exposed, if you get too close to her now, it will inevitably make people think that you are colluding with her."

"Secondly, many of Xue Qinghe's policies are not conducive to the major nobles. Getting close to her will only lead to the alienation of the imperial nobles. The Tiandou Empire is different from the Gulei Kingdom. Our Gulei Kingdom is small and an agricultural country, so it is only natural for us to value the people. The Tiandou Empire, on the other hand, is basically a large empire ruled by nobles. Your actions will not be conducive to the future."

Nan Feihuang could understand that Xun Yu's concern was precisely about the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the original story.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has supported the empire for many years, but in the original story, because of Xue Qinghe's incident, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be said to have been subject to considerable suspicion in a certain sense.

After all, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi were master and disciple.

Just then, Emperor Xueye was poisoned by Qian Renxue and remained unconscious for a long time. In order to prevent the situation from changing, Ning Fengzhi used special means to stimulate Emperor Xueye's life potential and make him wake up as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. However, this would undoubtedly make his already rapidly declining life even shorter. This incident left a thorn between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

Ning Fengzhi took responsibility for reducing the lifespan of Emperor Xueye. After Xue Beng took over, the position of National Preceptor was taken away by Yu Xiaogang. Xue Beng also fully supported Tang San's Tang Sect, which made the already severely damaged Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School even worse off. If it weren't for Ning Rongrong's influence, the sect would probably have been destroyed sooner or later.

"Wenruo, I naturally know the consequences of my actions. Firstly, by joining Xue Qinghe's side on the surface in advance, I can better grasp her movements and counter her moves."

"Secondly, although I don't truly intend to help Qian Renxue, my attitude towards the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire is the same as theirs. I have no desire to feign compliance with those nobles. While approaching her now might provoke rejection from the nobles, it will earn me a good reputation among the common people. Even if Qian Renxue's identity is exposed later, the people won't understand so much. They will only remember who provides them with food. When I seize power and issue new laws, it won't seem abrupt, and the people of Heavenly Dou will support me even more," Nan Feihuang said. "In this way, I can also conduct a screening process, identifying which nobles support me and how many don't, making it easier to eliminate them!"

Xun Yu was startled. "You mean to kill all the nobles who oppose you?"

"Otherwise, should we play political games with them?" Nan Feihuang retorted.

Xun Yu shook his head. "My lord, this is detrimental to your future ascension to the throne; it's far too bloodthirsty!"

"Who said I was going to ascend the throne?" Nan Feihuang laughed. "I'm not that interested in being an emperor. I just want to unify the world, or rather, I prefer being a general!"

"You...you don't plan to become emperor? Then why did you unify the world?" Xun Yu was puzzled. Could this guy be just saying something like his former lord Cao Cao, hoping to have the inscription "Tomb of General Cao Cao of Han" engraved on his tomb after his death?

"Because...it's exhilarating!" Nan Feihuang replied after a moment's thought. "Compared to the result of unifying the world, I still prefer the process of unifying the world—conquering the eight wastelands and sweeping away the chaos—it's exhilarating!"

Nan Feihuang inherited Lu Bu's supernatural body, but also became somewhat warlike, even fond of war.

Xun Yu smiled wryly, "If you only want to enjoy the process of unification, then why stand on the side of the common people? Are you trying to make your unification journey more difficult?"

"Because... he's handsome!" Nan Feihuang continued, "Imagine, in the future, the unparalleled divine general Nan Feihuang, the number one in the world, serving the country and its people, his divine halberd traversing everywhere, inspiring admiration from all the people, leaving a lasting legacy—wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"Ahhhhhh..." Seeing Nan Feihuang so full of vigor, Lü Lingqi screamed excitedly.

Unable to speak, this was the only way she could express her excitement.

Nan Feihuang's ideal was exactly the same as hers. She didn't understand what was so good about being an emperor. Wasn't the point of fighting wars to show off one's coolness and awesomeness?

No wonder he's her sweetheart; he thinks exactly the same way she does.

Xun Yu was dumbfounded. He wondered if he should switch sides. His lord's goal of unifying the world was simply because of the words "cool" and "handsome"—it was too casual.

Nan Feihuang smiled and said, "Wenruo, don't worry. Although I don't really want to be emperor, it doesn't mean I will treat this supreme position as nothing. Don't forget, I still have my father. Doesn't he like being emperor? So I'll just do my filial duty and give him the unified continent as a gift."

"As for what happens after he abdicates, you don't need to worry at all. He's a Soul Saint after all, and maybe he can even become a Soul Douluo in the future. He'll be full of energy for a long time. By the time he doesn't want to be one anymore, I estimate my son will have grown up. I'll definitely have a grandson with Lingqi by then, and you can be my son's teacher and guide him to become a successful person, right?"

Xun Yu thought about it and agreed that it was indeed a good idea.

Nan Feihuang and Xue Qinghe's policies will slightly increase the difficulty of their unification, but in this world, strength ultimately prevails. As long as he is strong enough, the opposition of some nobles will not cause much trouble.

Nan Tianchen was indeed a rather outstanding ruler who maintained the status quo. Under his rule, the unified continent was able to provide a good life for the people.

So what if he's not good at war? Isn't there Nan Feihuang?

From now on, governing the world will belong to Tianchen, and expanding the territory will belong to Feihuang. The father and son working together will surely be a beautiful story.

The fact that he personally nurtured the next generation of rulers was an immense honor for Xun Yu, who always prided himself on his domestic governance abilities.

"Haha, alright, my lord, since your goal is to become the greatest general in the world, then I'll become the greatest prime minister in the world," Xun Yu said with a smile after he had come to his senses.

"Ahhh (Then I want to be the number one female general in the world)!" Lu Lingqi shouted, raising her hand.

Dian Wei pointed to himself, "Me, the best bodyguard in the world, protecting our lord!"

Inside the room, the four shared their goals, and the strongest, earth-shattering combination of the future was formed in this heartfelt conversation.
