Chapter 64 - Useful Identity



Chapter 64 - Useful Identity

Bai Rouyun went into the room, after which she quickly entered the Primal Chaos Dimension. Here, she found a big wooden barrel made from Iron Wood, placed it on top of some embers, and filled it with some Spiritual Liquid.

After ensuring that the water was getting warm, Bai Rouyun began creating the concoction that she had to pour into the water. The concoction consisted of seventeen herbs, all more than a hundred years old, and as she finished concocting it, she was left with a vial of emerald green liquid.

She then stripped off her clothes, went into the wooden barrel, and released the concoction into the water.

The moment it was added to the water, a sudden eruption of pain appeared in Bai Rouyun’s body. This herbal bath was able to improve and strengthen her body, and make it possible for her to enhance her potential as a cultivator.

She was gritting her teeth because of the pain, but she also had an uplifting mood. She could feel how her talent was increasing because of her herbal bath. This was indeed worthy of being an ancient recipe.

Bai Rouyun was entirely focused on cultivating while Li Moyun left the Yun Palace and headed towards the Imperial Castle.

His mood was foul, and he began wondering if he really needed the layer of identity as Prince Yun. He was truly not in the mood to go to the battlefield, but as long as he considered himself a prince of the Richu Empire, he had to follow the orders of the Emperor.

Sighing, he went to the study room where the Emperor was waiting for him, and the eunuch who was with him knocked on the door.

Just like this, Li Moyun entered the study, his eyes were narrowed, and his mood annoyed. He was not even polite to his father. Instead, he just went to the chair opposite the Emperor and sat down, looking at his father’s ugly expression.

"What do you want?" Li Moyun asked casually, as he leaned against the back of the chair, his attitude casual and full of arrogance. He clearly did not respect the Emperor in front of him.

But the Emperor was even more afraid of Li Moyun acting like this than he was if he had shown him some respect. As long as Li Moyun acted like this, he was aware that he could not control him.

"We have begun a war campaign against the Xiyang Empire, which is bordering our Empire. The war is not going as we expected, as they got reinforcements from the Jinwei Kingdom.

"While it is merely a kingdom, it is much more powerful than the Xiyan Empire, due to the sheer amount of experts that hail from that Kingdom, and now that they have decided to work together, we are in a tight position.

"I can only turn to you for help," the Emperor looked at Li Moyun, but while he looked pleading, a cunning light shone in his eyes; he was clearly not as innocently asking for help as one might think.

"And if I don’t want to help?" Li Moyun asked slowly, his entire demeanor laid back, and he looked as if he did not care about anything at all, but the Emperor was stunned. Never before would he have gone against him like this; what had changed him so much?

"Why would you not want to contribute to the Empire?" The Emperor asked, feeling as if his heart had risen in his throat. "I have already made an Imperial Edict; if you are to defy it, it will be seen as a sign of betraying the crown!"

Li Moyun was not scared when he heard the harsh words. Instead, he just observed the Emperor, making him feel as if he was a clown dancing at his tune, never able to fight back.

"So, you are saying that if I want to keep my identity as a Prince of Richu Empire, then I will need to go to the battlefield again. I am merely twenty-five years old, but you have already sent me to the battlefield twice, and twice I have returned with brilliant achievements. Why not give this chance to one of my brothers?"

The Emperor frowned. From what Li Moyun was saying, he still wanted to use the identity as a prince of the Richu Empire, but he was not interested in going to war.

The Emperor was annoyed. He knew that if he sent another of his sons, they would be in danger, but more importantly, they would be unable to turn the situation around, and they would lose the campaign.

"You have to go," The Emperor finally said, and Li Moyun was getting even more irritated. Why did this old man have to be his father? It was so nauseating that he did not even want to pretend that they were friendly.

"I will consider it," Li Moyun said after shrugging his shoulders. "I will return with an answer for you tomorrow."

The expression on the Emperor’s face was as if he had swallowed a fly. He finally understood that Li Moyun truly was not bothered with the Richu Empire, and that the only reason for him to have a semblance of cordiality was because the identity was useful to him.

Li Moyun thought about how Bai Rouyun was waiting for him at home, and he hurriedly left the study. He did not even wait for the Emperor to dismiss him, he just left on his own, hurrying home to the Yun Palace, and into the bridal chambers, only to find them empty.

Although it was empty, Li Moyun did not panic. He knew of the Primal Chaos Dimension, and that she was likely inside, using the herbs she had gotten earlier that day.
