After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Chen Futu learned the sword moves that Qingyi had painstakingly cultivated to the highest level with just one glance. Moreover, he not only imitated the form but also captured the spirit, and the power was a perfect match for the innate realm.

After the rehearsal was completed, Chen Futu asked with a grin, "Master, how was it?"

"You're a genius. I've never seen such a freak before."

Qingyi didn't know what to say.

While forging the blacksmith, Chen Futu said, "This sword move is not bad. Master, do you have any stronger killing moves, such as those that are particularly flashy and have great power? I like them."

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. You'd better think about it. I'm leaving."

Qingyi almost fled in panic, afraid that if she stayed any longer, this little monster would strip her underwear off in one night.

"How stingy! I wanted to learn more tricks."

Chen Futu muttered to himself, then asked the system, "Why is it that you can help me understand what she teaches, but I can't learn any of the tricks that others use right under my nose?"

The system's rule is that the other party must be the host's martial arts mentor, and the system can help the host master all the martial arts techniques they taught.

"Is that so? If I become Qi Wen's apprentice, will I be able to learn his methods?"

[Qi Wen's strength is too weak to be prioritized by the system. The martial arts he teaches must be at the god-level in terms of intent, momentum, and spirit.]

"Damn, it's confirmed! This cheap Aunt Qing is actually a sword saint. No wonder Qi Wen couldn't beat her."

Regarding Qingyi's cultivation level, the system has no comment.

"It doesn't matter. Right now, only Qingyi can get your help. I need to find opportunities to get closer to her and learn from her so I can improve quickly."

Chen Futu made up his mind.

If Qingyi knew that she was being targeted by the same person, she would probably pack her bags and run away overnight.

It was getting late, and the grand ceremony was tomorrow, so Chen Futu went back to his room and fell fast asleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by Liu Longyue while he was still half asleep. "Your Highness, it's time to get up and prepare."

"Take a bath and change clothes."

Chen Futu didn't stay in bed this time; he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

After today, I can call myself the solitary ruler and become the overlord of the world!

Liu Longyue bit her lip and had everything prepared for her bath. Then, Chen Futu took off his robes in front of her and entered the bathtub naked.

Liu Longyue wasn't very good at serving people and was somewhat at a loss.

Chen Futu glanced at him sideways and said, "Why you? Where is Mo Lan?"

"It was the old lady who sent me to help the young master bathe and change his clothes," Liu Longyue said truthfully, not daring to hide anything.

Chen Futu laughed and said, "My mother seems to have taken a liking to you, so she sent you to serve her. She hopes that I will accidentally have another grandson for her."

"Your Highness, please don't speak nonsense."

Liu Longyue's face turned bright red. This was the first time in her life she had ever seen a man naked right under her nose.

Chen Futu mischievously grabbed her restless little hand. "My beloved concubine, shall we go together?"

"I do not want it!"

As if her tail had been stepped on, Liu Longyue hurriedly pulled her little hand back.

[Liu Longyue's favorability has reached 25]

"Heh, what a hypocritical woman."

It seems she has been lonely for too long and has reached the age where she needs a man's comfort.

After that, Chen Futu stopped teasing him. Today was a big day, and he had to be in high spirits for the coronation. He couldn't waste his energy on her.

After bathing, Chen Futu changed into a black and gold patterned robe and put on a hair crown, looking both heroic and handsome.

Liu Longyue glanced at it and couldn't look away. Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she unconsciously put her hand on her chest.

【Ding! 】

[The host is about to be crowned king. The system hereby presents the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow as a congratulatory gift to the host.]

"System, you do understand human relationships. I've wanted this sword for a long time."

Under Liu Longyue's strange gaze, Chen Futu took out a long black box from under the bed. When he opened it, he saw a sword with a golden sheen lying inside.

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow was forged from an unknown material. Its scabbard was engraved with dragon and phoenix totems, and the eyes of the two divine beasts shimmered with a blue and a red aura, making it extremely mystical.

As Chen Futu held the sword in his hand, he was filled with heroic spirit, and a domineering aura arose spontaneously. "As expected of a king's sword, it is indeed domineering."

Liu Longyue stared intently at the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, her heart filled with turmoil. Even before the sword was drawn, she could feel its terrifying sharpness. This was definitely a divine weapon, its grade probably surpassing the skill of that grandmaster forger!

"Your Highness, how did you obtain this sword?" Liu Longyue couldn't help but ask.

First the Dragon-Scaled Divine Steed, then the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow—where did the Crown Prince obtain so many peerless treasures?

Chen Futu smiled but did not answer. "Go take a bath. I'll go see my mother first."

"Here."

Unable to get an answer, Liu Longyue could only lower her head and see her off.

She also needed to bathe and change clothes, because she was the nominal Crown Princess and the main character of the day.

As Chen Futu walked out of the mansion, a group of servants were already waiting. They were all dressed in very formal attire.

Leading the group was naturally Ge Fei, who had changed into a flowing red outfit with a white inner layer. Her hair was tied up, and she held Feng Yin in her arms, looking heroic and dashing, like a stunningly beautiful female swordswoman.

Chen Futu became more and more satisfied with her. As he was leaving, he secretly said to her, "Fei'er, would you like to serve me tonight?"

Consort Ge blushed, turned her beautiful eyes away, and muttered, "Your Majesty, please stop fooling around. Let's take care of business first..."

Chen Futu neither confirmed nor denied this. Her favorability rating had long been maxed out, but he hadn't touched her yet. On his coronation day, he couldn't help but indulge in some seafood from the Western Regions that night.

The group followed Chen Futu in a grand procession toward the inner palace.

The old lady and Qingyi were already waiting. The old lady had changed into her finest clothes and looked much younger. As for Qingyi, she had simply tidied herself up and looked even more simple and capable.

Upon seeing Chen Futu arrive, the two men's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were seeing the Prince of Zhenbei from years past.

Chen Futu's aura at this moment, and his imposing posture as he suppressed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, were far stronger than those of the Prince of Zhenbei back then. The Prince of Zhenbei was, after all, a subject of the Great Qian Dynasty, but Chen Futu was different. He was a ruthless hero who dared to say in front of everyone, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." At this moment, he was simply a true emperor.

Young and spirited, his eyes revealed an arrogant disdain for the world and an unassailable majesty.

"As expected of my disciple, I love his domineering nature."

The woman in green marveled at the sight.

The old lady's feelings were much more complicated. She had witnessed the tragic death of her husband, who was devoted to the country, and then she had witnessed her son's coronation, vowing to fight the Great Qian Dynasty to the death. As a mother, she felt heartbroken. In the end, her tacit approval was the result of her son embarking on this path of rebellion.

Chen Futu used to want to live a carefree life as a playboy, but since returning from the capital, he has grown up and his personality has changed.

As a mother, she hoped her son would live a carefree life, but in her desire for revenge, she unwittingly burdened him with even more responsibility...

"Mom, are you okay?"

Chen Futu noticed that the old lady's expression was not right, so he stepped forward to ask her.

The old lady wiped her eyes and shook her head, saying, "It's alright. My son, you've declared yourself an 'orphan' and are now at odds with the world. I support you."

"Mother, rest assured, within a few years, I will make the whole world submit to me, and all under heaven will be at my feet."

Chen Futu's reply caused a stir in the hearts of the old lady, the maid in green, and everyone else in the mansion.

From this day forward, the Northern Frontier will be completely different; it will no longer be a fiefdom of a king, but a domain of vassal kings!
