I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory -
Chapter 377
Lin Beifan felt that he had to clarify things.
Although he had more than friendly relations with many women, it wasn’t the case with every woman.
How could she sully someone’s reputation out of thin air?
“Yaoyao, I must declare that although I am a flirtatious man, my relationship with Medusa is very pure!”
“Even if it’s not now, it will be in the future!”
Yaoyao scoffed, “I don’t believe it. How could you let go of such a strong and beautiful woman?”
Lin Beifan struggled: “Yaoyao, it’s not like that…”
“Your Majesty, please stop making excuses. We know exactly what kind of person you are! In the past, you were willing to give away your kingdom’s territory for a woman! Your track record is well known!” Song Yufei added fuel to the fire.
Lin Beifan: “…”
On the other side, Queen Medusa’s cheeks were flushed.
Although they were speaking softly, she was a Great Grandmaster. How could she possibly not hear them?
Why did everyone misunderstand her as Senior’s woman?
She didn’t dislike it, though.
But after all, she was a girl, and such things would naturally make her shy.
“Your Majesty, I shall take my leave if there’s nothing else!” Queen Medusa said, wanting to escape the situation.
“Sister Medusa, do you have a place to stay now?” Yaoyao asked with a cheerful smile.
Queen Medusa was taken aback: “I… don’t have one yet!”
Yaoyao’s smile deepened: “Since you don’t, let me arrange it for you! How about staying in the Moonlight Hall within the imperial palace? It’s spacious and bright, built to the standards of a Noble Consort, and perfectly suitable for you!”
Queen Medusa was stunned again.
The Moonlight Hall, built to the standards of a Noble Consort?
If she moved in, wouldn’t she be considered a consort?
Queen Medusa was extremely embarrassed: “How could that be appropriate? I should stay outside!”
“It’s okay!”
Yaoyao was very enthusiastic: “Sooner or later you’ll have to move in anyway, might as well get used to it early!”
“Well…”
Queen Medusa glanced at Lin Beifan, noticed he had no objections, and shyly said, “I’ll listen to you!”
“All good! Anyway, we should get closer and become lifelong sisters!”
Queen Medusa’s face turned as red as an apple.
Lin Beifan couldn’t take it anymore.
This Yaoyao really knew how to tease people. Every sentence seemed ordinary but was actually loaded with deeper meaning, teasing both of them.
This mischievous little demon, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed tonight!
“Yaoyao, you take care of this matter. I still have state affairs to deal with!” Lin Beifan dismissed them.
“Your Majesty, I’ll go take a look too. Maybe Sister Medusa needs something else!” Song Yufei approached with a warm smile, locking eyes with Yaoyao as they both entered into a new rivalry.
……
Meanwhile, the news of Queen Medusa joining Great Xia spread rapidly throughout the land.
“So it turns out that terrifying woman who destroyed Great Liao is named Medusa! She used to travel around the world, and when the Great Liao Empire offended her, she wiped them out with a flick of her hand! According to the Master Painter, she really possesses the strength of a Great Grandmaster!”
“But that’s not the scariest part! The scariest part is that she actually joined Great Xia!”
“She has now become a major figure in Great Xia, one of the foundations of the Celestial Empire!”
“What kind of fortune did the Great Xia Emperor accumulate in his past life to gain the favor of a Great Grandmaster?”
“Now, with two Great Grandmasters and a divine sword capable of slaying Great Grandmasters, who can stand against Great Xia under the heavens?”
“It’s crazy, Great Xia has won big time! That Emperor has hit the jackpot!”
This was no small matter.
As a result, various powers sent representatives to investigate.
Overwhelmed by the number of people gazing at Great Xia, Lin Beifan simply held a grand banquet and invited representatives from all sides.
Most of those who came were influential figures, and nearly all the Great Grandmasters of the present time were there.
The remaining forces sent Grandmasters if they could, and if not, they sent Innates.
After all, this was a female Great Grandmaster, and everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of her elegance.
They didn’t want to accidentally provoke her and suffer her wrath.
At the banquet, as the only female Great Grandmaster of the present time and one endowed with extraordinary beauty, Queen Medusa naturally became the center of attention.
However, she was rather aloof, showing no expression throughout the event.
She ignored all compliments and stayed close to Lin Beifan while being careful not to overshadow him, acting like a personal guard.
Her beautiful gaze occasionally rested on Lin Beifan, filled with admiration, respect, and a hint of affection.
As a result, envious glances were cast towards Lin Beifan.
Why him?
Why did he gain Queen Medusa’s favor?
Was it just because he was handsome?
Or because he was a once-in-an-eternity emperor?
If looks could kill, Lin Beifan would have been slaughtered a thousand times over.
At that moment, the Great Grandmaster of the Demon Sect, Li Tiancheng, raised his glass and said with a smile, “Congratulations to Your Majesty for gaining another Great Grandmaster! The foundations of Great Xia’s realm are now even more solid! The name’ Celestial Empire’ is indeed well-deserved!”
Now, as far as he knew, Great Xia already had three Great Grandmasters.
The publicly known Master Painter, Queen Medusa, and a terrifying senior who always remained hidden.
A nation with three Great Grandmasters was unprecedented.
If this didn’t qualify as a Celestial Empire, then what does?
Lin Beifan was overjoyed and returned the toast, “Thank you!”
“I also toast to Your Majesty and to Daoist friend Medusa!” laughed the Shenxu Taoist Master.
In the past, the addition of another Great Grandmaster to Great Xia would have alarmed him.
But now there was no need to be so cautious, as Taoist Sect’s Taoist Child, Song Yufei, had become Lin Beifan’s consort, smoothing over past conflicts.
Moreover, it was said that Song Yufei got along well with Queen Medusa.
Thus, Queen Medusa was no longer a threat but a potential friend.
At critical moments, being able to ask for help from others is such a wonderful thing.
The Taoist Sect has benefited from this as well.
“Good!” Lin Beifan happily accepted the toast.
The least happy people at the event were those from the Buddhist Sect and the four top-tier Empires.
They all held grudges against Great Xia, which had not been fully resolved yet.
Now that Great Xia had gained another Great Grandmaster, the threat to them had increased even more.
However, they were powerless to resist. It was clear that the Taoist Sect and the Demon Sect were already siding with Great Xia.
With four Great Grandmasters and a divine sword that could threaten a Great Grandmaster, their side was at equal ground compared to the five Great Grandmasters on the other side.
If it came to a fight, they might be the ones to suffer.
