Chapter 81 - Dragged By The Current

"Rational? Bai Liang Su, you are the one that pushing this Emperor again and again! Now step aside! This Emperor almost runs out of his patience so do not block this Emperor way!" Yuan Qian was shouting while waving his sleeve impatiently.

"Of course we will not dare to block Your Majesty's way but it is not the same with that little girl so please leave that girl behind. She is just a commoner and suspected as a spy!" Bai Liang Su keeps insisted on arresting Mu Xuan Yin.

Bai Liang Su was Nanshu Prime Minister but Mu Xuan Yin keep embarrassed him again and again before if he tolerated her then many people in Royal Palace will question his authority so he must kill this girl as the warning to anyone that opposing him. Bai Liang Su wanted to kill Mu Xuan Yin to intimidate all the people that still oppose him like proverb 'kill one to warn a hundred'.

"Commoner? Hahahaha… Then listen well! I, Duan Yuan Qian, as the Emperor of Nanshu Empire will adopt Mu Xuan Yin as my daughter and appointing her as the Princess of Nanshu Empire!" Yuan Qian declared it happily and all the people in this area quickly kneeled down then congratulated him in unison, even Bai Liang Su's red armored guards have to do so, of course excluding the stunned Bai Liang Su.

Mu Xuan Yin that stood behind Yuan Qian almost spurted out several mouthfuls of blood and fainted right away when she heard Yuan Qian imperial edict.

She ran away from Royal Palace before not because of she afraid with that old prime minister but because she did not want to waste her time in these Nanshu Empire royal family power struggle.

However with Yuan Qian appointed her as the Princess of Nanshu Empire right now, she was forced to join in this power struggle whatever she likes it or not. It would become impossible for her to avoid or escape again like before.

" YUAN QIAN! YOU!" Bai Liang Su was shouting and glaring at Yuan Qian with his almost popped out reddened eyes while pointing at Yuan Qian with his index finger.

"Hahahaha... Yes, me! Me what?! Do you dare to defy this emperor's imperial edict?! Do you really want to rebel?!" Yuan Qian was laughing more merrily when he saw Bai Liang Su's angry expression and provoked him more.

" Pfffft…" Bai Liang Su spurted out several mouthfuls of blood in anger and passed out after staring at Mu Xuan Yin and Yuan Qian full of resentment. Red armored guards quickly caught Bai Liang Su limp body and brought it back to his residence.

"This old grandpa, only one step away from the grave but why he keeps provoking me again and again? And the result always likes this... Sigh... It would be better if he finds some great doctors to cure his illness first." Mu Xuan Yin sighed in relief while staring at Bai Liang Su that brought by the red armored guards with pity. She did not even feel that this was caused by her at all.

"Uncle Yuan, thank you very much for your help just now. And... Uncle, you must be kidding about appointing me to be the Princess of Nanshu Empire, right? All of it only for deceived the prime minister, right?" Mu Xuan Yin asked Yuan Qian in hope that he only said all of that in his anger and will consider it again now.

"Hahaha... Yin Er, how could I as Nanshu Emperor talk nonsense to deceive someone? Do you know that Emperor's words are more valuable than gold? Once an Emperor says something, it definitely must come true!" Yuan Qian was staring at Mu Xuan Yin firmly like he said something obvious.

Mu Xuan Yin slapped her forehead with her palm gently and shook her head in resignation: 'so this is the fate that darned God pointed to me… Well, I will just play by ear, for now, let everything flow out according to the current. Hopefully, I can find some clues about the calamity this way…'

"Uh… Uncle… Can I… Can I refuse it?" Mu Xuan Yin asked with resignation held on her last hope, wished that Yuan Qian could cancel his own edict.

"Hahaha… Yin Er, you must be kidding. Give it up and call me foster father from now on." Yuan Qian was only grinning at Mu Xuan Yin's question and continued to his way toward the imperial court.

Mu Xuan Yin lowered her head even more in resignation, she really wanted to cry so badly but no tears come out.

At the imperial court, Yuan Qian issued his imperial edict about appointing Mu Xuan Yin as his adopted daughter and from now on, she will become the new princess of Nanshu Empire.

This imperial edict will not only announced to all officials at Royal Palace but also to all Nanshu Empire's population and the first to know was the population in Qiyang City, all of them turned uproar because of this news.

Mu Xuan Yin's coronation ceremony will be held in a few days from now but she decided to forget all of it for now since it will definitely happen then she just needs to let it be.

"Well, to think of it if I really want to escape from this Royal Palace once again, I just only need to use the disguise spell and turned to Jian Chen… But since that unreliable God pointed me to where the emperor is then the clue must be somewhere in this royal palace. Moreover, the emperor himself already promises me to search the clue for me so it's probably better if I stay here for now." Mu Xuan Yin pondered more about it and she decided to stay here for now.

"Forget it! The most important for now is which cultivation technique that I should cultivate… Sigh… I could decide it more easily if I have 1-2 high-rank element aptitudes but I am an all-rounder! I can easily upgrade all of my element aptitudes to SSS-rank! I should decide it today if I keep hesitating, I will keep stuck at 1st level Qi Condensation Stage." Mu Xuan Yin rubbed her forehead while thinking.

However, when she was pondering about it some random thought flashed through her mind.

"Eh… Right! What is that Creating Item option in the Supreme God System for? Let's check it!" Mu Xuan Yin took out her mobile phone from her space pouch and opened the application from Supreme God.

1. Aptitude Talent Upgrade

2. Creating Item

3. Martial Arts Upgrade

4. ???

5. Exit

Mu Xuan Yin quickly chose Creating Item's option on her phone screen then the screen quickly play black and white countdown like the old movie.

Jreng… Jreng… Jreng…

"Alchemist? Blacksmith? Appraiser? Poison Master? All of these professions that will need a very very long time to train to reach the master level and creating barely good item! BUT… No worries! With this 'Creating Item' option, you can do all of it easily without any need for training and knowledge about it!" The black and white movie played out like an old commercial on television.

"This God taste is really bad and old… As expected from a bad and old God…" Mu Xuan Yin stared at her phone screen with a deadpan expression.
