Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 140 - The Emperor's Fears

Little Chu enjoyed watching the alternating color on the Emperor’s face. One moment it was red, the next, it was pale white. Then it would turn black as the bottom of a pot, before purple, as if he had not been able to breathe.

Seeing him looking like this, Little Chu felt that there truly was something known as Karma in the world.

This man had been annoying Li Moyun for so long, but now he understood that he was actually nothing in front of his own son. This sudden realization caused him to feel humiliated, but also fearful.

He was more than well aware of how he had treated Li Moyun throughout the years, and if this man, who proved to be such a heavyweight in the cultivation world, decided to exert his vengeance on them, then no one would stand up for them, and they would naturally die.

The thoughts that were rapidly rushing through the Emperor’s mind were so terrifying that he could not help but tremble.

Little Chu had crossed his arms over his chest, and a smug smile was evident on his lips. He understood every thought that was running through the Emperor’s mind, but he said nothing to make him relax.

He felt that this dog-like Emperor deserved every moment of panic that he was experiencing, and he was reveling in the expressions that were appearing on the older man’s face.

Little Chu had never before realized that he was such a person. That he would take joy in the misfortune of others, but this man was the father of the Crown Prince. Not only had he treated Li Moyun badly, but he had also spoiled the Crown Prince who, in turn, had harmed Bai Rouyun.

Although Little Chu was a man of the Eternal Shadow Palace, he was now Bai Rouyun’s personal guard. He still had his loyalty and respect for Li Moyun, but now he also had family affection towards Bai Rouyun. He would never let her suffer, and the Emperor was also a cause for her troubles, albeit indirectly.

Little Chu was a little surprised to realize that his feelings were nothing like he had expected before.

Initially, he had been guarded against Bai Rouyun. He had felt that the more outstanding she was, the more dangerous she was for his master, but after getting to know her, and knowing what she had done for them, he began to understand that there was more to her than met the eyes.

After getting to know her, he realized that she was a person who was able to distinguish between good and evil. That she knew when to be ruthless, but also when to help others. She had her own code of conduct, and she stayed true to who she was.

She was a fascinating woman, who one could only admire. Although he admired her and saw her as a person who truly cared for him, there was no ambiguity in his emotions; it was pure respect.

So when he was here, looking at the Emperor, he felt indignant on behalf of Bai Rouyun. He felt that she had suffered, and was aggrieved because of this dog-like Emperor.

When thinking about Li Moyun, he was gloating in pleasure to see the horrified Emperor, but when thinking about Bai Rouyun, he was truly indignant on her behalf. That was the difference in his emotions.

Shaking his head, Little Chu finally decided to put the Emperor out of his misery. "My Master has no intention of acting against you; however, if you ever harm his wife, or him, again, then he will not be polite. Also, keep the Crown Prince on a tight leash, don’t let him go around trying to humiliate people who are not to be trifled with."

The Emperor could instantly guess what Little Chu was referring to, and his face paled. He had previously seen the Crown Prince as the most likely successor he had, but now he was worried. Would Li Moyun let him succeed since he had been the one to oppose Li Moyun the most?

The Emperor was feeling worried, but to him, there was nothing more important than himself. Even if he had to sacrifice his son, he was willing to do so for the sake of ensuring that he stayed as the Emperor.

Little Chu could see the selfish gleam in the Emperor’s eyes, and could not help but scoff in disdain.

If someone told Li Moyun to abandon Bai Rouyun, he would never do that. No matter what he was offered, Little Chu had complete faith in Li Moyun to be faithful to Bai Rouyun, and this was also why he was suddenly looking at Li Moyun with much more favorable eyes, it was as if he was looking at his own brother-in-law.

Li Moyun was unaware that his little wife had gathered another family member. So far, he thought that the only truly important figure to Bai Rouyun was Xue Jingyu, but now it proved that Little Chu had become close to her during the time they had spent together.

The Emperor was deep in thought, but Little Chu just shook his head and left the room. He had faith in his ability to threaten others, and since he had told the Emperor not to tell anyone about the true identity of Li Moyun, he did not think that this old man would be dumb enough to go around doing so.

His selfishness would make it so that he would keep it to himself.

Little Chu returned to the Eternal Shadow Palace and began working on the preparations for appearing in everyone’s eyes.

Li Moyun had explained these preparations to Little Chu before he had left, and now it was time to execute them.

When they heard the words Little Chu brought back, excitement grew in the entire palace, and they all got busy working.
