The introductions took quite a while because there were so many people.
Liam sighed with emotion; he wouldn't trade this life even for the position of Emperor.
However...
Bibi Dong was already considering handing the throne to Liam once the Spirit Empire was established and the continent was conquered.
That way, everyone could stay with Liam and have a legitimate status, making the situation seem less outrageous.
It was true.
As Liam was now, even with his great strength, people would call him a playboy if they knew he had so many women at home.
But if Liam were the Emperor, people would naturally find it normal for him to have twenty or so wives.
In fact, everyone might even think this Emperor does not like women—how could he only have twenty people in his harem?
Bibi Dong pondered this in her heart and felt it was quite necessary; when the Spirit Empire unified the continent, she would let Liam be the Emperor.
Yes!
Perhaps she didn't even need to wait for unification; as soon as the Spirit Empire was established, Liam could take the throne.
Liam had no idea that Bibi Dong was already preparing to find him a job.
In the living room.
Because there were too many people, there weren't enough seats. Only Liam, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena were sitting; the others were all standing.
Liam looked at Xiao Wu and her group and asked, "Did anything happen in Spirit City during the days we were away?"
Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "Nothing happened."
"We just met two new friends, Zhu Zhuyun and Bai Chenxiang."
"Mm."
Liam replied, his gaze shifting to Zhu Zhuyun and Bai Chenxiang.
He knew Zhu Zhuyun was in Spirit City, having read the letter from Spirit Hall while on Sea God Island, but Bai Chenxiang—
He really hadn't noticed her just now.
The girl was standing behind the others, and Liam had been so lost in thought that he hadn't looked closely.
However...
Even though Liam was mentally prepared for Zhu Zhuyun, he was still shocked; in terms of Martial Soul size, only Zhuqing could compare to her.
This Family is truly impressive!
It wasn't just Liam.
Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, and the others were also quite shocked when they first saw Zhu Zhuyun.
Though they had seen Liam praise her in the Diary before, seeing her today proved her reputation was well-deserved; she truly had the strength to rival Zhuqing's size.
Zhu Zhuyun looked a bit embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, sensing that everyone's eyes were drifting toward her.
And they were looking at her chest.
Indeed.
Zhu Zhuqing was secretly delighted. Her sister was truly a good sister; as soon as she arrived, she drew everyone's attention, and Zhuqing was finally no longer the outlier.
Liam then called out to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, come here for a moment."
"Mm."
Zhu Zhuqing replied and stepped forward to stand beside Liam.
Liam said, "Now that Little Xue's matters are finished, we will rest in Spirit City for a few days and then head to the Star Luo Empire together."
"However, my concern is that your Family members might not all share your desire to escape the Dai Family's control."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression became complicated upon hearing this, and she turned to look at Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuyun also fell into deep thought.
It was true!
The women of the Zhu Family might not want to be sacrifices anymore, but the men might not feel the same way.
After all, the marriage alliance with the Dai Family gave the Zhu Family a very high status in the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuyun thought for a moment and gave Zhu Zhuqing a meaningful look. Zhu Zhuqing understood and said, "Then we'll see. If they are unwilling to leave the Star Luo Empire, we'll just let them stay there and fend for themselves."
Bibi Dong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. If the Zhu Family leaves the Star Luo Empire, they can still be valued in Spirit Hall."
"While it might not be exactly like their position with the Dai Family, everything has its gains and losses; it won't be too bad."
"Besides, with your current Spirit Power, Zhuqing, I think as long as they aren't fools, they should be willing to follow you out of the Star Luo Empire."
It was true.
At Zhu Zhuqing's age, she was already over level seventy and approaching level eighty. Any intelligent person would know she was destined to be a level ninety-nine Peerless Powerhouse.
As for those who truly couldn't see that far—they were likely fools and might as well stay in the Star Luo Empire.
Liam looked over everyone and began, "The news of Sea God Island being conquered by Spirit Hall will likely reach the continent in a few days."
"During this time, Spirit Hall will prepare to establish the Spirit Empire. You should all communicate with your families to avoid ending up on opposing sides in the future."
This...
Everyone was startled by his words and began to worry.
Ning Rongrong had the evolution of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, followed Liam, and was very clever, constantly sending letters back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi didn't need much convincing; they were already willing to submit to Spirit Hall.
But the others were different; they didn't have the same fortuitous encounters or the same wit as Ning Rongrong.
Convincing their families to surrender to Spirit Hall would be an extremely difficult task.
The room fell into silence.
The Shui Binger sisters looked at each other, intending to return home, but they had no real reason to use to convince their Family.
This was very difficult!
Huo Wu thought for a bit, then looked at Ling Yuan and called out, "Auntie Ling Yuan, can you accompany me home in a few days?"
Huo Wu also lacked a reason to convince her Family, but it would be different if she brought Ling Yuan back with her.
First, Ling Yuan was friends with her father, and with Ling Yuan's current strength, no explanation would be necessary.
Liu Erlong truly didn't know what to do.
Her sense of belonging to her Family wasn't strong, but she didn't want to see the Blue Tyrant Family destroyed.
However.
The Blue Tyrant Family also had that waste Yu Xiaogang; it was like adding fuel to the fire!
Liam thought for a moment and said to everyone, "Previously, we researched Gunpowder at Spirit Hall, and by now, weapons should have been made. When you go back to convince your families, you can take one of the new weapons Spirit Hall developed."
"I believe when they see these new weapons, they will no longer offer pointless resistance."
Bibi Dong and the others nodded slightly without saying much.
Previously, the Gunpowder formulas were given to Bibi Dong, but she couldn't figure them out and couldn't produce usable Gunpowder, let alone finished weapons.
Plus, given Liam and the others' current strength, there was no need to worry about the Gunpowder technology being exposed.
Bai Chenxiang looked at Liam and sighed inwardly; the Four Great Clans would likely be very hard to convince!
"Let's go eat together!"
Liam stood up and said, "These matters will take some time. I'm telling you today just to give you time to prepare."
