Douluo Continent: Starting with Ten Kings of Hell, Shocking Qian Renxue

Chapter 84 So what if I'm all alone? As the Emperor, I've already made my preparations! [Please continue reading]

On top of the city wall of Tiandou City!

An elderly woman with graying skin and two white marks on her forehead, bearing the name "Qin Nie," sat in a wheelchair.

Her aged eyes gazed at the fiery red flag that was being passed around in the distance, with five shimmering yellow stars etched into it.

That is the banner of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The red is awe-inspiring!

The yellow color is so appealing, it fills one with hope for new life!

Overnight, dozens of cities in the Heavenly Dou Empire all submitted to the Qin Dynasty.

The once dilapidated Heavenly Dou Empire now presents an incongruous scene of prosperity!

Such news brought tears to the old woman's eyes.

"Waaah..."

She couldn't help but lift her cheeks, feeling the scorching sun, and began to sob.

However, there was no sadness involved.

Instead, it was filled with pride, the kind of pride one feels for their own child's success... the pride of a parent!

"I have no regrets."

"Zheng'er, Aunt Min is so proud of you."

"The descendants of the Qin family are indeed all cowards, all cowards..."

A low voice accompanied by sobs could be heard, indicating that the old woman's life had come to an end.

Breathing gradually ceased until it vanished into nothingness!

The body temperature is gradually cooling down!

She's dead!

To die of joy, to die of relief, and even more so, to die without regrets!

【…】

next to.

Qin Zheng was still wearing his black casual clothes, his gaze fixed ahead.

However, he wasn't looking at the vast lands and rivers that his Qin cavalry had conquered.

All he saw were four heads.

Those are the direct descendants of the Heavenly Dou royal family.

Emperor Tiandou Xueye, Prince Xuebeng, Prince Xuexing, and that princess... Xueke.

Three heads, plus a naked, bloodied corpse, were all hanging on the city wall.

The sun had dried all the bloodstains on their bodies, turning them into an indelible brown.

Qin Zheng took in the venomous look in the eyes of the four heads.

A gentle breeze swept by, and I could feel the gazes of the four corpses and the slow, calming movements of the old woman on my body.

He slowly closed his eyes, a single tear sliding down his cheek.

"Aunt Min."

"Ten years ago, I learned the term 'lonely and isolated person'."

"But I never imagined that one day I would be able to personally experience this feeling."

"This feeling is really unpleasant..."

The old woman behind him was none other than the last surviving member of the Qin family that day.

Zhao Min!

Only three days have passed since that day!

But in just these three days, he aged more than a hundred years, even though he was originally thirty-eight years old!

Even with the combined power of nine Yama Kings, Black and White Impermanence, and four judges, Qin Zheng could not delay the situation for even a moment.

To this day, with his complete control of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the voice of the Great Qin Dynasty has spread far and wide.

She finally breathed her last and passed away.

【…】

Not far away, the Black and White Impermanence stared silently at Qin Zheng's location.

Beside them stood four judges!

They each had their own items arranged in order, ready to report to the Qin government.

But at the moment.

They listened to the bewilderment in Qin Zheng's voice, and then recalled the innate domineering and confident aura he had exuded over the past few days...

They all fell silent!

As the personal guards summoned by Qin Zheng and who had come all the way here, they knew very well what kind of person Qin Zheng was.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that this decisive and ruthless king would show such a vulnerable side.

"That's enough."

Just then, Qin Zheng on the city wall sighed again, his expression gradually turning cold.

"So what if I'm all alone?"

"As the emperor, I should have been prepared for this long ago!"

As he finished speaking, he raised one hand and wiped away a tear that had fallen from his cheek, his voice becoming indifferent again.

"Judges, Black and White Impermanence."

Swah——

At his command, the four judges of the underworld who had been waiting, along with the Black and White Impermanence, all turned cold and stepped forward.

"Your subject is here!"

Qin Zheng turned around and looked at Zhao Min, who had already lowered her eyes. His eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out to touch her cheek.

But it was quickly taken back.

It wasn't that he didn't want to touch it, but that he was afraid...

I'm afraid that if I touch it, I'll really have to 'accept' the fact that the other person will never wake up again!

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Zheng's voice became calm as he slowly began to speak.

"Black and White Impermanence, convey my decree."

"Zhao Min is hereby granted the title of Lady Yongde, and appointed to a political career, with the rank of First Grade!"

"Buried in the imperial mausoleum!"

lady!

Upon hearing this official title, both Black and White Impermanence and the four judges were taken aback.

There's no other reason than that they are underworld officials who have been in charge of the affairs of the underworld for thousands of years.

They were well aware of just how prestigious the title "Madam" truly was.

These two characters represent an extremely prestigious title for civil and military officials in ancient times!

The Book of Rites (Liji) clearly records that the emperor's consort was called Empress, the feudal lords' consorts were called Lady, the high officials' consorts were called Lady, the scholars' consorts were called Women, and the common people's consorts were called Wives.

After the Song Dynasty, there were clear records that the first and second ranks were called "Madam", the third rank was called "Shuren", the fourth rank was called "Gongren", the fifth rank was called "Yiren", the sixth rank was called "Anren", the seventh rank was called "Ruren", the eighth rank was called "Bapin Ruren", and the ninth rank was called "Jiupin Ruren".

This shows just how prestigious the title of "Lady" is!

Can……

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

Neither Hei Wuchang nor Bai Wuchang uttered any objection; they simply cupped their hands and said loudly!

Immediately, with a wave of his hand, a surge of Yin energy erupted, dragging the already dead Zhao Min up and heading into the distance.

The scene was now empty!

Qin Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze leisurely fixed on the four judges.

"Has King Qin Guang not returned yet?"

"What about the Star Luo Empire? What about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"What happened to the five Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, and Tang Yuehua?"

"Where is the data collection team's progress? When will they finish?"

Four questions were asked in succession. The four judges exchanged glances and then answered in turn, following the order in which Qin Zheng asked the questions.

"Your Majesty, the three thousand Soul Reapers were sent to assume the post of Prince Qin Guang, but en route, due to a rebellion by the remaining rebels in Ling City, Prince Qin Guang was forced to proceed. Now, it seems he should be arriving soon!"

Zhong Kui slowly recounted his story. As the least eloquent of the four judges, he was also the one responsible for the most one-sided matters.

"Your Majesty, three days ago, there were some movements from the Star Luo Empire, seemingly assembling an army. However, because Your Majesty's move of sending 130,000 troops was too alarming, they have remained cautious and have not yet set out."

"Tang Yuehua sent a message the day after that, but there has been no response since!"

"I have already arranged accommodations for the five Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall to ensure their safety, and they will depart on another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three judges' gazes all fell on Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Majesty, I have recently led three thousand officers from the Rewards and Benevolence Division to compile a roster of the Heavenly Dou Empire. We have now... completed forty percent of the roster. In just three more days, we should be able to finish!"

"This matter should be settled as soon as possible!" Only now did Qin Zheng nod slightly.

The first three things are not very important, but the matter that Wei Zheng is in charge of needs to be dealt with as soon as possible!

Because the nobles were dead, the lands that had been controlled by them were now completely vacant.

Every inch of this land, every household—Xue Ye might not know the specifics, but Qin Zheng absolutely could not be unaware of them.

Because all of these belong to his Great Qin.

It wasn't someone else!

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?

Therefore, statistical personnel are of paramount importance and should not be overlooked!

"Your subject obeys!" Wei Zheng said sternly, then turned and left.

Only three judges remain in the arena!

There was silence for a moment.

Qin Zheng then headed down towards the city walls, following the location of the imperial palace.

"Apart from personnel statistics, everything here has been settled."

"Let's go."

"It's time to build a real Fengdu City, to become a true..."

"I!"
