Chapter 2913: Chapter 2914: Appointment of Official Positions

"Royal Teacher, please take the seat of honor!"

Seeing Ye Luo come in, Qin Se said lightly.

If it were before, she would have gone up to greet him and call him teacher; you could see her attitude toward Ye Luo had changed a lot.

Ye Luo understood this was the attitude a King ought to have, but there was one thing: in Ye Luo’s heart, she was always his woman, and as for all that King stuff, he really couldn’t care less. In his mind, strength felt a lot more reliable than status.

"I don’t know why the Princess summoned me here?" Ye Luo asked, and he didn’t bow.

"The Royal City’s situation now, Royal Teacher also knows. This reconstruction is urgent. Otherwise the Royal City will truly become an empty city, and then the whole world will laugh at us!" Qin Se said at once.

Ye Luo chuckled, "Princess, you’re making things difficult for me. Don’t tell me you want me to personally build houses? That, I’m afraid, is beyond my ability."

Qin Se immediately frowned. "With your status, Royal Teacher, how could we possibly ask you to personally build houses? It’s just that I’ve heard Royal Teacher is widely traveled, so I want to rebuild this Royal City into the likeness of that Empire you spoke of!"

Her words clearly had an implication, and she hadn’t forgotten her original intention: to pour her political ideals into this Royal City.

Or rather, this was the first step in turning the Third Faction into a nation.

Ye Luo sighed. "Everything I told you before, I was lying to you."

"You!" Qin Se shot to her feet. Ye Luo today was clearly going against her on purpose.

Ye Luo was using this method to tell her: she was nothing more than Ye Luo’s woman. Daring to put on airs with him—she’d picked the wrong person.

"Royal Teacher, don’t joke. This concerns the people’s livelihood!" Qin Se said after calming herself.

Ye Luo only chuckled. "In the end, those people are your people; they have nothing to do with me. I’m the sort of man who’s only interested in women."

"Royal Teacher, stop talking nonsense!" Qin Se flared up at once.

"Am I talking nonsense?" Ye Luo slowly walked toward Qin Se.

Ye Luo had already saved her and the country several times, yet she hadn’t even given him a word of thanks, hadn’t even given him a smile, couldn’t even be bothered to glance at him. That made Ye Luo very unhappy.

"I’m discussing politics with Royal Teacher for the sake of the people’s welfare. I hope Royal Teacher will take it seriously!"

Seeing Ye Luo walk over, a flicker of panic flashed in Qin Se’s eyes, but she quickly forced herself to remain composed and spoke.

This was, after all, the King of Huainan’s great hall, and now also the place where Qin Se received guests. There were many soldiers guarding outside; Ye Luo shouldn’t do anything too excessive here.

"I’m a bit selfish. I want to secure benefits for myself first, and only then is there a chance I’ll seek benefits for others!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

At this moment he had already come right up to Qin Se, close enough to smell that faint fragrance on her body.

Qin Se instinctively backed away a few steps. "Royal Teacher jests. It seems you’re too tired today; you’d better go back and rest!"

She spoke somewhat flustered, even beginning to issue a dismissal order.

"Not at all, I’m not tired. I’m still thinking about securing benefits for myself!" He immediately gave a wicked grin. "The taste of that day—wasn’t bad, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Se’s face flushed red in an instant. That day, her killing intent had clouded her mind. Fortunately, Ye Luo had awakened her by that method, but he’d also exhausted her until she was limp all over.

That feeling... it really was a bit unforgettable.

"Royal Teacher, please behave yourself!" Qin Se said angrily.

She glared at Ye Luo, but alongside the anger there was a hint of shyness.

Originally she’d thought that when facing Ye Luo she could remain utterly calm, like facing a stranger. But now it seemed that was absolutely not the case!

Moreover, she relied heavily on Ye Luo now. Whenever something difficult arose, she instinctively thought of Ye Luo. This feeling made her restless. If she couldn’t cut herself free from Ye Luo, she would never become King.

"Why should I behave myself with my own woman?" With that, Ye Luo pressed her against the wall. At once, a soft, silky sensation came from beneath his hands.

"You! Let go of me!" Qin Se growled in a low voice.

But Ye Luo was already closing in on her, growing more and more frenzied, and Qin Se simply couldn’t break free.

And her body betrayed her, slowly beginning to respond.

"Don’t, not here, okay?" she panted, her voice full of helplessness.

"It’s only exciting if it’s here." As he finished speaking, Ye Luo suddenly thrust hard.

At dawn, Ye Luo opened his eyes, thoroughly satisfied. This time, Qin Se hadn’t left; she was still in a deep sleep.

Only her eyelids trembled slightly, clearly showing she’d woken up.

Ye Luo snickered and leaned over.

"You! Don’t!"

Qin Se cried out in surprise and sat up.

But then she frowned, clearly feeling discomfort in her body.

Ye Luo, however, was staring, utterly transfixed. Her body was simply a work of art!

"Ah!" Qin Se yelped and immediately dove under the blanket.

Ye Luo pounced after her, but he didn’t get rough this time. He only pulled her into his arms, and Qin Se didn’t resist, quietly resting against his chest.

"Isn’t it fine just being my woman like this?" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Qin Se sighed. "You are my man, and my only man."

"I know you’re not an ordinary woman," Ye Luo said with feeling.

"Maybe this is fate. You forced yourself on me today; I don’t blame you. I’m happy to be with you. But one day, you and I will become enemies," Qin Se said.

"Then what will you do to me?" Ye Luo asked curiously.

"I don’t know. Maybe...I’ll kill you," Qin Se said, somewhat sorrowfully.

"Then I’d better collect some interest in advance." This time, Ye Luo was downright domineering.

The Royal City’s construction still proceeded in an orderly fashion. For a Cultivator, building things was quite fast, and the Royal City itself already had a foundation. In just over ten days, they had settled all the common folk.

Even the hastily built houses were much better than where they’d lived before.

Next, they needed to build the more luxurious mansions.

After all, the Royal City couldn’t be without the Nobility!

And Qin Se made a bold decision: to confer official titles.

She actually followed the bureaucratic system Ye Luo had once described to her and began conferring posts according to it.

For example, the King of the West Pacification, with countless military merits and great prestige—the title remained King of the West Pacification, but he now held a true royal rank, with enormous power. Most matters of state were handed over to him.
