Emperor’s Domination

and Lurui grew up together and had feelings for each other so he understood her quite well. He knew where she was hiding so he was one step ahead of all the other pursuers.

His mission was to take her back to the clan but he couldnt do it when actually staring at her face to face.

In the end, he helped her escape into a very remote area. During the perilous getaway, they finally took the next step and became husband and wife.

After settling her in, he came back to the Wenren Clan and guaranteed her that he would publicly win her hand in marriage.

However, it was easier said than done. He needed to contribute greatly to have the chance. Five years ago, during a skirmish between Soaring Hawk and the Wenren, Qiyu wanted to be the shining example so he rushed into the battlefield to kill many opposing experts.

Alas, though the Wenren Clan won that battle, Qiyu also died on that day. He couldnt wait until the day when he could marry Lurui and she couldn ’t wait till his return any longer.

After the five years anniversary, Lurui snuck in with her daughter to commemorate her husband but the disciples there unexpectedly found her. She had to run away and managed to meet Li Qiye.”

“Love is difficult.” Li Qiye said after hearing her story: “What is your plan?”

She mused for a bit before answering: “Ill apologize with my life towards the Dongfang Clan so that Huaiyu can live on.”

“No, you can live on instead of treating your life so frivolously.” Li Qiye shook his head: “Its not that desperate yet, no need to think about dying.”

“You dont understand.” She disagreed: “Someone has to die for this matter to end. The Dongfang Clan requires an answer from my clan. Otherwise, the alliance might break and they could even become enemies.”

Li Qiye simply smiled. He has seen this many times before with a runaway bride. Both the clans thought that they have lost all face from this. Thus, something has to be done for the alliance to stay intact.

“Dont worry.” He smiled: “As long as the two sides work together and talk, there will be a turnaround.”

She smiled bitterly in response: “Theres nothing to talk about. My father cant be in charge either. Even if the ancestors in the clan want to protect me, it will still be impossible. The best method is for me to die as an apology!”

She took a deep breath and solemnly said: “I have expected this end long ago. As long as father and the others can protect Huaiyu and that my death will end this feud, I dont mind dying. You should know now that no good thing will come from involving yourself. A scapegoat is necessary so if you continue to pretend, our Wenren Clan will be more than happy to oblige.”

With that, she spoke with good intent, not wanting to implicate Li Qiye: “Its not too late to make a decision now. Once the people from the Dongfang Clan come, then you wont be able to escape death at that point.”

“I cant die even if I want to.” Li Qiye couldnt help but laugh.

Such attitude left her speechless. It looked like he didnt care for her goodwill.

“Your region must belong to the Crouching Dragon Continent.” Li Qiye asked leisurely while she stood there in a daze.

“Yes, all of the island chains belong to this continent. Our two clans and the Soaring Hawk State are all under the jurisdiction of the Crouching Dragon Cliff.”

“How many locations are under the control of the cliff now? Who is currently in charge?” He asked again.

This sudden question surprised her since it was common knowledge to any cultivator at Crouching Dragon.

1. Wen City and Dong City would be the pinyin names. They take the first character of the clans surname

1. Crouching Dragon used to be Sleeping Dragon. I ’ll mass edit Sleeping Dragon to Crouching Dragon later Previous ChapterNext Chapte
