Vol2 – Chapter 6 – What makes me inferior to your Wife?
The next day.
Outside the Imperial Capital, various nobles had gathered, and an army of a million cultivators stood ready. Ten colossal divine airships hovered in the sky, casting shadows over the land. On the ground, towering hundreds of meters high, stood monstrous beasts, formations resembling mountain ranges, and Shadow Guards moving through the spatial layers...
As far as the eye could see, all kinds of terrifying weapons of mass destruction were being transported out of the Imperial Capital.
In the shadows, many Great Beings were secretly observing, causing waves of exclamations:
"Is that the long-lost Emperor Grade Formation—The God-Slaying Formation?!"
"No, it's a fragmentary version of the Emperor Grade God-Slaying Formation! But even so, it far surpasses any Immortal Grade formation!"
"Thirty Moon Shine Realm cultivators, hundreds of Ocean Covering Realm cultivators, and over a thousand Mountain Moving Realm cultivators... This foundation is simply outrageous."
"Why didn't the Empress bring out this foundation when Zhao Yuhuan rebelled and the seven major forces united to besiege her?"
"Perhaps the Empress has been waiting for this day all along, or maybe she was confident she could handle the chaos and slay the invading enemies."
...
As the commander of the three armies, Meng Qingzhou naturally exuded an air of authority, directly boarding Jiang Canghai's life-bound treasure—the Emperor Grade Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The map fully unfolded, transforming into a complete continent, with mountains, rivers, pavilions, and palaces, all present.
This fully expanded map, spanning over thirty thousand miles in diameter, was carried by four Moon Shine Realm beast slaves, each thousands of meters tall. Meng Qingzhou himself sat in the central palace within the map.
"Order the army to march," Meng Qingzhou stood tall, drawing the long sword that symbolized his command, and shouted.
Qin Fenghuo, standing beside him, immediately used his Divine Power to amplify his voice, spreading it throughout the three armies: "Commander’s order, the army shall march!"
The powerful sound of drums and gongs echoed, and within the army, black banners were raised, fluttering in the wind. All the banners inscribed with the character for Jin shone brightly, linking together to form a vast formation.
—Immortal Grade Speed Formation!
—Immortal Grade Gathering Spirit Array!
The moment the formations were established, all the soldiers received a boost, including the ten divine airships hidden in alternate space, ready to descend upon the enemy at any moment, and the Shadow Guards moving through spatial layers... all seemed to be blessed by divine assistance, their marching speed increasing hundreds of times, and their spiritual energy recovery rate becoming astonishingly fast!
Rumble!!!
With the three armies on the move, the full might of Great Jin was revealed, terrifying neighboring countries to the point of collapse. Many rulers directly presented their national seals, waiting on the army's path, kneeling in submission, holding the seals high in surrender.
"The Kingdom of Camel Bells, with a population of 1.3 million, 200,000 hectares of land, ten noble titles, and over ten thousand cultivators, is willing to surrender to Great Jin, hoping the commander will spare us."
A dignified ruler, trembling with fear, led his ministers to kneel before Meng Qingzhou, kowtowing fervently.
The ambition of the Great Jin Dynasty was well-known.
Now that Great Jin had revealed all its cards and the three armies were marching north, how would they handle the supply lines along the way?
Think back to Great Jin's tradition.
Run out of resources on the way? No problem, slaughter a few countries, plunder their treasuries to replenish resources!
What? Too many soldiers dead or injured, not enough manpower? No problem! Slaughter a few countries, capture strong men, and throw them into the meat grinder of the battlefield!
So when Great Jin's foundation was exposed, and the world saw such a terrifying army, those who had previously mocked the Empress for declaring war on the seven major forces, thinking she was just venting her anger, could no longer laugh...
"Uh..." Meng Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his back, pondering for a long time, but inwardly he was screaming, "What the hell!"
In front of him, dozens of rulers held their national seals, lining up for Meng Qingzhou's inspection.
Dongfang Liuli, wearing a mask, followed behind Meng Qingzhou and whispered:
"Stand tall, let General Qin handle the reception, and then tell them to leave."
Meng Qingzhou slightly turned his head, his expression extremely vivid, as if saying: "Huh? Are you kidding me?"
And so, as they marched along, they incorporated over a hundred surrounding countries, doubling the territory of Great Jin.
In the central hall of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
"These are all insignificant small countries. Dealing with them one by one is too troublesome, but ignoring them would be like raising a tiger by letting the small countries devour each other," Dongfang Liuli said calmly.
"Using intimidation to gather the surrounding small countries along the way is killing two birds with one stone."
Meng Qingzhou casually played with a national seal in his hand, tossing it into a sack. He picked up the sack and shook it, the sound of clinking seals inside.
"Was this your idea or the Empress's?" Meng Qingzhou asked, tossing the sack aside.
Dongfang Liuli smiled and said, "Of course, it was Her Majesty the Empress. Only the wise and unparalleled Empress could come up with such a strategy."
"Are you trying to test me by belittling yourself and praising the Empress? In my heart, the Empress can't compare to my wife," Meng Qingzhou said, wrapping his arm around Dongfang Liuli's slender waist and lifting her chin, their lips meeting.
After days of busyness, they finally stole a moment of leisure. Even on the warfront, they found a chance to be alone.
Until they were nearly out of breath, Dongfang Liuli's face turned rosy, her body soft, pushing against Meng Qingzhou's chest, whispering shyly, "What are you doing? We're at war, the fate of the nation is at stake, and you still have the mood to tease me!"
"Who told you to be so jealous? I have to reassure you," Meng Qingzhou said, pinching Dongfang Liuli's nose.
In front of your husband, you dare to praise another woman so openly. Do you think I, Meng, am a fool?
Of course, she's jealous, being all sarcastic.
Dongfang Liuli: ...
Frustrated ((?(//?Д/?/)?)), who's jealous!
I'm serious, okay!
'Am I being masochistic, going to such lengths to make my husband fall for the Empress?'
'Am I indirectly finding a legitimate wife for my husband and a rival for myself?'
'No, no, I am the Empress! How can we be separated...'
Dongfang Liuli felt on the verge of a mental breakdown, trying to correct Meng Qingzhou's bias against the Empress. It was really too difficult!
At this moment.
A familiar, majestic voice echoed, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, and a figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"If I heard correctly, Minister Meng... did you say I'm not as good as your wife?"
Meng Qingzhou abruptly looked up, his mouth slightly open.
The Empress?!
Heavens! Why is she here!?
The Empress walked gracefully, like a divine being, radiating brilliance. She directly lifted Meng Qingzhou's chin in front of Dongfang Liuli, her voice becoming both seductive and authoritative, making one's bones tingle: "Tell me, in what way am I not as good as your wife?"
