Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 33

Not only could it allow her to vent her anger, but it also provided an opportunity to use Princess Rongrong to further solidify Zhao Min's position in Luo Chen's heart.

"Master, this lowly thing dares to insult you, so let me torture her every day!" Zhao Min tossed the swollen-cheeked Princess Rongrong aside, then respectfully bowed to Chao Luochen and said.

"Alright! I'll leave this to you! If you do a good job, there will be a reward!"

Luo Chen laughed heartily, and then assigned the task to Zhao Min.

Afterwards, Luo Chen visited the slave fighting arena and found that the second and third slave selection competitions were still underway, but the number of participants had been reduced by more than half.

With a thought, Luo Chen withdrew from the Demon King's space and entered the Yuandu City.

However, this time, he didn't act as high-profile as before, but instead disguised himself as an ordinary person and walked around the city.

Since he came here to find the beauties of Yuandu and to complete the expansion mission of the Demon Puppet, he couldn't make too much of a fuss.

If everyone gets scared away, that would be a huge loss!

Luo Chen released Zhao Min and then had her take him to the Yuandu Imperial Palace.

Half a day later, inside the Yuan capital palace...

"Princess Minmin, the Emperor requests your presence!"

A eunuch came out of the main hall and said respectfully.

"Okay, please lead the way!"

Zhao Min spoke, then respectfully glanced at Luo Chen. Seeing the approving look in Luo Chen's eyes, she stepped into the main hall, and Luo Chen followed her in.

From the palace gates all the way to the Golden Palace, Zhao Min walked in unimpeded simply by showing her face. Only then did Luo Chen realize how high Zhao Min's status was in Yuandu.

This is something that no ordinary princess could do; only a prince with great prestige could accomplish.

Upon entering the main hall, one is greeted by a scene of singing, dancing, and revelry.

Sitting on the golden throne in the center is the emperor of this era, Emperor Yuan Shundi!

Luo Chen didn't understand history, but the novel did mention Emperor Yuan Shundi, so he knew that this man was a complete tyrant who didn't manage state affairs and only indulged in wine and women.

His inaction directly led to widespread corruption and abuse of power throughout the Yuan Dynasty, ultimately causing its demise during his reign. The entire Yuan Dynasty lasted only a little over seventy years.

"what!"

Emperor Yuan Shundi drank the wine offered by his concubine in one gulp, then kissed her on the face. Her tiny, beady eyes were filled with lewdness!

“Master, he is Emperor Yuan Shun.”

Zhao Min pointed at Emperor Yuan Shun and said to Luo Chen.

At that moment, Emperor Yuan Shundi also happened to look over. He was slightly drunk and infatuated with women. He saw Zhao Min, who was known as the number one beauty of the Yuan Dynasty!

In fact, Emperor Yuan Shundi had long coveted Zhao Min. However, due to the high prestige of Zhao Min's father, the Prince of Ruyang, Emperor Yuan Shundi dared not openly extend his reach to the Prince of Ruyang's daughter.

But now, news has arrived from the front that the Prince of Ruyang has just been killed in battle!

And now Zhao Min has conveniently delivered herself to his doorstep! How could Emperor Yuan Shun not seize this opportunity to take her down?

"Minmin, come here quickly, come into my arms and let me pamper you!"

Emperor Yuan Shun pointed at Zhao Min, signaling the two concubines beside him to pull Zhao Min over.

The two concubines did not hesitate and immediately walked towards Zhao Min.

Of course, Luo Chen saw the jealousy in the eyes of the two concubines. They were obviously jealous that Zhao Min was prettier, younger, and more charming than them!

"Princess Minmin, the Emperor has taken a liking to you. Why don't you quickly thank His Majesty for this great favor?"

The two concubines walked up to Zhao Min and reached out to pull her.

But before their fair hands could even touch Zhao Min, their chests caved in, and they were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and dying a gruesome death in front of everyone!

Zhao Min dusted off her hands and said angrily, "I, Zhao Min, am a person in life and a ghost in death for my master! You two blind fools are courting death!"

"what--"

Upon seeing the dead bodies, especially the two most beloved concubines of Emperor Yuan Shundi, the dancing palace maids screamed in alarm and panicked.

"Come here! There's an assassin!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yuan Shundi was greatly alarmed. In a panic, he overturned the wine table in front of him and roared in terror.

"Heh heh, not entirely a pig after all, you actually managed to tell I'm an assassin!" Luo Chen laughed heartily, spreading his arms wide and instantly unleashing his early-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivation, causing the hall doors to slam shut! ...

Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Powerful Imperial Edict

"what--"

Upon seeing that the main hall doors were locked, the young palace maids screamed in alarm and ran around in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen's Demon King blood immediately boiled.

The Enslavement Whip immediately appeared in his hand, and Luo Chen chased after the group of palace maids, lashing them out repeatedly!

What am I doing here today? Just to find these palace maids to expand my demon puppet army, right?

The palace maids, who were already terrified, suddenly saw Luo Chen wielding a long whip and lashing them. The whip would immediately tear their skin when it struck them, and they would turn pale with fright and run away with their heads in their hands!

"Haha! None of the people I've been looking for have escaped!"

Seeing the palace maids running around happily, Luo Chen whipped them even more fiercely.

Upon witnessing this scene, Emperor Yuan Shundi was so frightened that he hid behind his golden throne, trembling uncontrollably.

What was originally a song and dance has now turned into the sound of whips cracking. But Luo Chen finds this sound even more beautiful, making his demonic blood boil.

Soon, all the palace maids were enslaved by Luo Chen and turned into demonic puppets, then taken into the Demon King's space.

There aren't many people, only a mere fifty-odd. They're still far from enough to complete the expansion of the demon puppets!

"Escort!"

"Open the door, open the door!"

……

Just then, there was a frantic knocking at the palace gate, but the guards were only at the early stage of the Innate Realm and could not open the door that Luo Chen had closed with his cultivation.

Luo Chen put away the enslavement whip; he had never used it on those mere fifty-odd palace maids.

Now that these soldiers have arrived, Luo Chen's lips curled into a devilish smile, thinking to himself, "Perfect, now I'm going to give them a good beating!"

Instantly, Luo Chen's cultivation level shifted, and the doors of the main hall opened automatically.

The dozen or so soldiers who were pushing against the door at the front lost their balance and fell inside one by one.

Then the entire Imperial Guard rushed in.

It all came together in a chaotic mess, like a flock of wild ducks being released into a pond.

Snapped!

The soldiers who had just entered hadn't even gotten their bearings when they were struck in the face with a whip. Before they could even cry out in pain, the scene before them instantly transformed into that of a monster hunting ground.

*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...

Five hundred imperial guards who were on standby in the palace vanished into thin air under Luo Chen's frantic whipping!

This scene utterly terrified Emperor Yuan Shundi. He knelt on the ground, kowtowing violently and begging for mercy, shouting, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want!"

"Fine! I just need you to do one thing for me!"

Luo Chen walked to Emperor Yuan Shun's side, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, then with a flick of his other hand, a large megaphone appeared.

This is a megaphone that can transmit sound over long distances. Luo Chen spent a full five Demon King Cards to buy it!

There was no other way. Although it was expensive, this was ancient times, and there was no such thing as broadcasting. In order to quickly gather the beauties of the Yuan capital, Luo Chen could only endure the pain and spend five Demon King Cards!

Luo Chen whispered something in Emperor Yuan Shun's ear, and the emperor nodded his head like a rattle-drum, not daring to object in the slightest.

It was morning in the capital, and the streets were bustling with activity as vendors enthusiastically hawked their wares.

In the mansion and garden of a wealthy family, young ladies were playing with their maids.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the sky above the Yuan capital, silencing everyone. Everyone knew that this voice belonged to Emperor Yuan Shun!

"Listen up, dignitaries of Yuandu! I am Emperor Shun of Yuan! I am now issuing an imperial edict!"

"All officials and wealthy merchants of the Yuan capital, if you have any unmarried daughters, bring them to the Golden Palace within one day. I am going to hold a beauty pageant for the entire city!"

"You don't need to be nervous. It's just a beauty pageant, not a selection of concubines for me! So your daughters will be able to return unharmed after they arrive. I guarantee this with the integrity of the Great Yuan Emperor! So you can rest assured!"

“Every household in the Yuan capital city is registered, so don’t take any chances. If any family dares to disobey the imperial decree, their entire family will be executed immediately, and their nine generations of relatives will be exterminated!”

"If you see anyone who hasn't brought their daughter here, you can report it, and you'll be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver immediately!"

……

Inside the Golden Palace, Emperor Yuan Shun glanced at Luo Chen discreetly. He had been instructed by Luo Chen to say those words, and he dared not disobey.

Wow~

The Yuan capital city instantly erupted in chaos!

At the same time, all four city gates—east, south, west, and north—were closed to prevent anyone from secretly sending their daughter out of the city.

Although no one knew how Emperor Yuan Shun could shout so loudly, most people did not dare to disobey the imperial decree. The few who were bold enough were under the watchful eyes of their servants at home and dared not disobey!

After all, if these servants reported them, they could receive a reward of a thousand taels of silver, enough to live a life of comfort and ease.

As the sun gradually rose, the midday sun became extremely hot, making the busy officials and nobles in the Yuan capital even more anxious.

These high-ranking officials and nobles all had seven wives and eight concubines, so they had many children, and therefore many daughters.

There was no way around it; this was ancient times, and there were no proper preventative measures, so the practice of filial piety was simply insane.

At this moment, each of them, accompanied by their unmarried daughters, dressed beautifully and ready, began their journey to the palace. Some families brought one daughter, some two, and some even more.

After all, Emperor Yuan Shundi made it very clear that this was an imperial edict, and anyone who dared to disobey it would have their entire family executed and their nine generations exterminated. This was no joke!

On this day, the entire capital was bustling with activity!

On this day, all the high-ranking officials and nobles were extremely busy!

On this day, all the unmarried young ladies from noble families dressed up beautifully and went to the palace hall with great joy to participate in this highly anticipated "beauty pageant"!

Meanwhile, Luo Chen... wasn't idle either. While the high-ranking officials and their daughters were on their way, he gripped the Enslavement Whip and headed towards the inner palace.

Chapter 88 Empress Qi

Emperor Yuan Shundi was extremely licentious, so his harem was very full and had a large number of women!

It is said that there were three thousand concubines in the imperial harem, but this is an exaggeration. In fact, a thousand concubines in the harem was considered a very large number for an emperor!

Moreover, at least half of these more than a thousand people are still unmarried young women.

The reason is simple: no matter how powerful an emperor is, he is ultimately just an ordinary person!

Let alone more than a thousand, even with only a hundred concubines in the harem, it would be impossible to manage them all.

Normally, an emperor could only favor fifty or sixty concubines in his lifetime at most!

Therefore, there are still many excellent candidates in this harem to serve as demon puppets!

In the Imperial Garden, Empress Qi, accompanied by several maids, was admiring the flowers.

This Wanzhe Hudu was the third empress of Emperor Yuan Shundi. She was exceptionally beautiful, so Emperor Yuan Shundi bestowed upon her the name Empress Qi.

Of course, one can imagine the ruthlessness and cunning of the person who was able to replace the first two empresses.

"Well……"

As Empress Qi was walking, her finger was suddenly scratched by a flower branch, and she immediately cried out in pain.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

A group of maids and servants immediately rushed over to offer their concern.

The Empress was injured—what a terrible situation! These maids, fearing that the Empress might chop off their heads at the slightest displeasure, nervously surrounded her, anxiously awaiting her decision.

Empress Qi frowned slightly, looked at her aching finger, and found that she had cut it. She immediately became angry and raised her slender hand to slap the maid next to her across the face, making a crisp sound.

Aa ...

The poor little maid's cheeks were swollen and red from the slap, and she was in pain, but she dared not make a sound, tears welling up in her eyes.
