Shen Yanxiao’s words stunned Long Yue in place. He was smart, but he could not guess Shen Yanxiao’s current thoughts.
Even though the Longxuan Empire was gradually declining, it still possessed a vast territory. Even though Shen Yanxiao was very powerful right now, it was very difficult to occupy any country at this stage. Right now, Long Yue gave Shen Yanxiao such an opportunity to take down the Longxuan Empire without expending a single soldier. But she refused…
Why?
!!“Long Yue.” Shen Yanxiao looked at the puzzled Long Yue with a smile on her lips.
“Yes.”
“I know what you’re worried about. I can tell you now that you don’t have to worry. I reject your proposal and I will use another method to reassure you. However, I have one more request.” Shen Yanxiao said.
“Please speak.” Long Yue looked at Shen Yanxiao in confusion. He honestly did not know what was going through Shen Yanxiao’s mind.
“I want your father to abdicate and you to ascend the throne.” Shen Yanxiao said.
“What…” Long Yue widened his eyes.
“I can send troops to help you fight against the Devil race, but I don’t believe in your father. I only believe in you. If you don’t agree, I won’t want your Longxuan Empire, and I won’t send troops to rescue you. I don’t want to save an ally who will only run away from battle.” The smile on Shen Yanxiao’s face gradually dissipated, and her sharp eyes swept to the emperor curled up behind the table.
The emperor… He had lost the decisiveness and boldness of a ruler. If the Longxuan Empire continued to be managed by him, even if Shen Yanxiao was willing to send troops, there was absolutely no way to stop the defeat of the Longxuan Empire.
It was better not to have an ally who did not even have the conviction to fight a bloody battle with the Devil race.
Long Yue opened his mouth and looked at Shen Yanxiao. He did not expect Shen Yanxiao to make such a request.
The emperor clenched his trembling fists and glared at Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the emperor coldly.
“Lord, I will abdicate. I will give the throne to my son as you said.” The emperor gnashed his teeth and said. The hatred and unwillingness in his heart had spread throughout his body.
“Alright.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and said nothing else.
Long Yue’s expression was very tangled. He had no struggle to give up the country to Shen Yanxiao, but to let his father abdicate and claim the throne himself…
Long Yue found it hard to accept.
“Lord, I know that what my father did in the past has made you dissatisfied, but please believe that he will not do anything bad in the war. I can follow him. As for the abdication…” Long Yue hesitated. He did not want to ascend the throne in this way.
“Long Yue.” Shen Yanxiao’s voice suddenly turned cold. Her cold eyes swept across Long Yue, who still wanted to continue.
“The current you has no right to bargain with me.”
Shen Yanxiao’s words made Long Yue shut his mouth completely.
What Shen Yanxiao wanted to do was her freedom. No one could refute her. Everything depended on her mood.
Long Yue silently retreated to his position and looked at his father with some worry.
However, the emperor merely lowered his head and drank without saying anything else.
Today, in the City Lord’s Mansion of Sun Never Sets, the throne of the Longxuan Empire had completely changed under the witness of several forces. No one knew why Shen Yanxiao did this. All they could do was to witness it..
