I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1447 : 20.11 First Black Star - Buying Lands and Mountains

In the Imperial Palace. At the Emperorʼs Chamber…

After causing a commotion in the throne hall, the Human Emperor returned to his own palace to rest. Sitting in one of the mahogany chairs within his chamber, he looked at his human soaked in crimson hands where an eyeball laid on his right palm quietly. He was alone in his palace in daze as if thinking something so deeply.

The human emperor suddenly mumbles, ”There is definitely another presence coming from this eye observing me before. Though as soon as I dug it out, that presence had suddenly disappeared.”

He recalled the clear eyes of the young official he had accidentally harmed. Except for that sudden hint of surprise that flashed within his eyes, with a hint of delight, he couldnʼt feel any dislike or comfort coming from Xu Ming.

”Did I make a mistake after all?”

After thinking for a bit longer, the human emperor finally made the decision and called one of his death soldiers. He made a gesture, and a man covered in all black uniform and armor appeared from the darkness behind the human emperor. This man kneeled before the seated man.

”Your orders, Your Majesty?” The death soldier asked.

The human emperor spoke, ”Send a few men to observe Officer Xu Ming. Who did he meet? If he left his mansion? Where did he have gone? Gather all necessary information needed.”

”Yes, Your Majesty!” said the death soldier before once again disappearing.

It seems that the strangeness Official Xu Ming had shown in the throne hall just now gave the human emperor a reason to doubt him. Because of these eyes from the emperor, it was almost impossible to meet Great General Lou when he had reached the capital after being summoned.

At the borderlands, Anjia Village...

With Wang Xiajie becoming the new landlord of the farming lands in the village, all the villagers were delighted about it. Knowing that Wang Xiajie hasnʼt fully healed, they would send food or snacks, even fresh meat and fish, to his house. This is thanks to Zhi Yue for teaching the villagers how to farm.

Because of this, Aunt Yan had ample ingredients to choose from as she cooked their meals of four at the hatched house of Wang Xiajie.

The week of Wang Xiajieʼs recovery had passed, and he can now pretend that he had finally gotten his wounds healed on the surface, allowing him to finally be allowed to leave his house. All the villagers would now not only greet him with a smile but also become somehow respectful. Wang Xiajie, who is now someone with memories, is different from someone without one.

Wang Xiajie, in the eyes of these villagers at this moment, is a scholar who is most likely someone extremely wealthy. After all, they heard all kinds of stories from Zhi Yue when he taught them about farming.

About how Wang Xiajie graduated from the institute and even has a rank of his own from the mainland, as well as how he got his own insignia, which show what kind of official standing he possessed,.

Of course, as a former human emperor, his power and knowledge are above all else. The official position Zhi Yue is talking about is not the emperor position he had lost, but something he found out through his identity as a system. Itʼs a duke position under Wang Xiajieʼs motherʼs name.

The previous human emperor before Wang Xiajie was a love-struck man. He is obsessed with Wang Xiajieʼs mother, but due to her mysterious background, she can be considered someone with no background on the mainland. To prevent some dissatisfaction from his ministers, he can only give his wife the background of an old duke with no descendants.

This old duke was fond of the empress and accepted her as his daughter. Moreover, he was also the loyal confidant of the human emperor at that time.

This duke position was inherited by Wang Xiajie after his mother died, but since he was already the emperor at that time, this position wasnʼt that useful except for a duke token from his mother. Now that he has lost the throne, this duke position is his strongest proof, which is useful on the borders but now dangerous to use in the capital as the current human emperor might catch him.
