The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 8: Fierce, Intense and Passionate Feeling, Shao Cheng Can't React

For the past few days, Shao Cheng has been handling the newfound power that he has been given by the supposed 'spirit' of the Chang Empire which he has named as Spirits Life Link because Shao Cheng can feel a connection to every plant, animal and any other form that has life within them, although regarding a soul within them that the High Priestess has mentioned before, Shao Cheng has never seen and met one yet.

The only one he can do after observing and practicing his power was the fact that he can somehow, see a glimpse of images in the location of the link that he connected the spirit life after a few seconds.

For example, when he tried to connect to the bird perch on a tree, in that split second of linking within the life energy within the animal, he felt like he was the bird itself.

It's like he has a set of another pair of eyes, ears, and a living body once again.

If he has this power from before, maybe Shao Cheng would have been able to recognize the real personality of Chang Pei and Huang Ya in the past, but there was no if in this world as he was only a spirit now.

Especially when he doesn't even know what will happen to him while he waits for Ren Yuan to finally die before he can know about his fate and destiny.

Letting out a sigh at his unknown future, Shao Cheng floats while taking a break from learning about his power before suddenly remembers a certain person.

Now that he thinks about it, after those 'fateful' night of hearing and seeing the sudden confession from his greatest enemy, it has been a while since he has followed Ren Yuan.

Shao Cheng doesn't know how to react regarding his supposed 'fated lover' from what the High Priestess has spoken, besides when it comes to the topic of love, a serious one at that too, Shao Cheng never has once experienced it in any life that he has lived.

Oh, it is not like he has never received a serious confession from before and even from a man itself but, this is Ren Yuan he was talking about, Shao Cheng cant just easily ignore it.

After letting out a sigh, Shao Cheng decided to go to where Ren Yuan is.

Being a ghost sure is lonely, to think that there will come a day that he will be going toward his greatest enemy while following him around most of the days.

However, when Shao Cheng arrived at the Royal Court Hall where Ren Yuan is currently handling the nation affairs with his officials, Shao Cheng can feel the oppressive atmosphere around the place along with a grim expression on their faces.

What happened while he was away?

"Your majesty, won't you consider it? The condition they offer is for the best of our Empire. Besides, the Imperial Princess of the Lau Empire has already mentioned that she doesn't mind about being unable to become your Empress and just wished to be your wife since she has declared that she has long been secretly in love with you for a long time now and was the reason why she has never married anyone."

Hearing the words spoken by one of the official Shao Cheng sapphire eyes widen a bit at the news.

Such an admirable woman, to be so bold and courageous to openly declare her love to the world

But the Imperial Princess of Lau Empire, huh?

Among the Empires that are close to the border of the Chang Empire, after the Emperor who ascend the throne before Chang Pei in the past, the information that he got is the fact that the eldest Imperial Princess was the one who has helped the current Emperor to be in the throne.

Among the Royal families of Lau, aside from the Emperor, the eldest Imperial Princess was the only one left alive that has the Royal bloodline, because everyone else has been killed off by the two of them, which have the same biological mother.

The two of these Royal siblings are both cold, ruthless and sly, but are also smart which evidence enough that the Lau Empire is more getting powerful than the current Chang Empire.

Although, the officials didn't openly say anything but the hidden threat of refusing the most love and only family of the Emperor of the Lau Empire known for his bold, savage and ambition can be used as a reason to cause a war to happen between the two Empire.

And for the current Chang Empire who are still starting to be stable to fight at the growing in power Lau Empire, one could imagine the consequences once a war started.

Sapphire eyes couldn't help but deeply gaze at the silent Ren Yuan that are currently being asked to accept the offer of the Lau Empire because there is nothing to lose about the offer and condition that has been given, it was really generous.

Sighing once more, Shao Cheng shakes his head, while feeling a bit uncomfortable as he gazes at the burden Ren Yuan, being an Emperor is never an easy task to do, all the heavy responsibility to decide and choose every day just for the best of everyone, especially when one is a wise and enlighten monarch where they even have to sacrifice their own happiness even if they are against a decision they make.

However, when Shao Cheng remembers this man's promise on the night of a full moon, he couldn't help but float toward where he was sitting while standing on his right side.

"... Just accept it, there is no need to trouble yourself over a dead man. Besides, I still know that the Chang Empire couldn't go to war now. This is all for the best Ren Yuan."

If it makes you feel bad about being threatened by another Monarch, you can just retaliate in the future when your Empire is more powerful right?

After all, Shao Cheng believes that Ren Yuan can make this Chang Empire more powerful than the one in the past.

Though, Shao Cheng couldn't help but glance at the silent Royal officials that remain quiet the entire time which was the people that he hasn't killed from before, though it was surprising that Liang Shi has also remained quiet.

"Are you all done talking? My ear is hurting from all this noise, so be quiet."

Eh? Shao Cheng who can hear the coldness and dangerous atmosphere in Ren Yuan has turned his attention back to the enchanting man, and what he saw has made it feel like he was strike by a bolt of lightning.

Wait Don't be stupid you wouldn't really?

"We don't need their help to handle My Chang Empire. This sovereign hate being threatened, especially when we just declared that I will never marry another person in my entire life a few days ago in the entire Chang Empire, do they take my words as something that can be easily trampled and spat with?"

Wait, what? Shao Cheng mouth opens wide at the shocking words that Ren Yuan is speaking at the moment, especially when he just heard something unbelievable just now.

Declared to the Entire Chang Empire???

"You!"

Such a foolish person

But what are these complicated feelings that he can't explain right now?

Shao Cheng can only bite his lip while gazing complicatedly at the enchanting man currently sitting on the throne, with a domineering air all around him.

"Fated Lover."

Those words rang on his mind once again, so loud and clear this time, and the words he wanted to speak to stop the man from continuing even though it won't be heard couldn't pass his thin lip any longer.

"As long as I am the Emperor of the Chang Empire nothing bad will happen! This Empire will only grow strong and prosperous! My vow to that person will never change, and I will use my own hands to fulfill it, I don't need anyone help."

Ren Yuan feelings burn so fierce, intense and passionate that even Shao Cheng felt like it's so hard to breathe even though he was just a mere ghost right now.

"And they dared to threaten me? This sovereign will declare right now that a war is about to happen! Hmph! Do they think that my Chang Empire can easily be bullied? In my entire life, we will only lose to one person alone and no one else! Let that ambitious Emperor and Fox Imperial Princess face the consequences for having the courage to even eye my Chang Empire! "

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, please change your mind!"

"Your Majesty! Please think this thoroughly!"

However, the pleading and begging voice of the royal official courts fell deaf at the new monarch as Ren Yuan left the Royal Hall with a cold expression on his usually smirking face while murderous aura soar on his entire body.

"Stop right now, his majesty will not change his mind anymore. Besides, deep inside everyone knows that Lau Empire is just looking for an excuse to declare war to our Chang Empire, everyone can see about how ambitious the Lau Empire has been this past few years, it was just a matter of time before they started a war in their own accord."

Liang Shi that has been quiet the entire time has spoken in a calm and soft voice, however, the words he just addresses have caused everyone's mouth to shut tightly as they all knew that what he said is entirely right all along.

Soon, with a worried, concern, fear and anxious expression on their faces, one by one everyone has also left, and when it was Liang Shi turned, Shao Cheng couldn't help but hear the soft whisper that the man has spoken before he too has finally left.

"Shao Cheng even I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that you are now dead. His Majesty's feelings is just too deep that I couldn't help but fear"

Shao Cheng that has been left alone in the majestic hall can only float with a blank expression on his beautiful face.

"Damn it Ren Yuan as always so troublesome guy"
