Chapter 1961: Chapter 187: The Demon Emperor Delighted to Gain a Princess! Rich in Danger (Part 2)
"Oh, not at all. A while back, that boy Ningxi was indeed quite excessive in his antics in the Immortal Dynasty." Wang Shouzhe was also slightly embarrassed, "I hope Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor won’t take it to heart with that brat."
"Haha, this Emperor was merely teasing him. That so-called sanction was just a jest, don’t take it to heart."
For a moment, the two had a most pleasant conversation, quickly settling two matters with just a few words.
At this point, the Immortal Emperor brought up another matter: "By the way, Master Shouzhe, I heard you just hauled back a Green Immortal Island from ’overseas,’ planning to develop it into a Sacred Land?"
"It was just good luck, picking up a Holy Island. Does Your Majesty have any interest in investing?" Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "It would be our Wang family’s honor."
While opening a Sacred Land is nice, the Immortal Emperor brought up Green Immortal Island specifically, not for this reason.
"Participating is unnecessary. It’s just that presently, there’s a matter that requires some help from Master Shouzhe." She smiled, "This time, Sector Three of the Immortals rescued a batch of human race prisoners of war. Firstly, Su Yun believes there might be spies secretly collaborating with the Demonic Clan among them, needing slow verification. Secondly, those rescued prisoners also need rehabilitation, and I heard your Wang family is quite skilled in healing..."
The Immortal Emperor didn’t say that this time the Yinchan Demonic God came too fast and targeted Wang Ying Xuan, obviously knowing exactly who caused their downfall, which was unreasonable. The fact that there are spies among the captives is pretty much a certainty. It just depends on whether Wang Shouzhe can identify them.
"I understand, I’ll have those prisoners stay on Green Immortal Island for a while," Wang Shouzhe agreed with a smile, "Coincidentally, our Wang’s Engineering Team is planning to develop Green Immortal Island into a vacation destination. Once they come, the wounded hearts and weakened bodies are bound to receive the best care."
"Master Shouzhe is truly straightforward. As for the matter of demonic spies, it’s up to Green Fern, that girl, to handle." The Immortal Emperor said with a smile, "I’ve also heard about that girl’s peculiarities... you must treat her well, don’t let her stray again."
Though it wasn’t explicitly stated, this light remark already showcased the Immortal Emperor’s controlling ability. It was quite clear, she already knew that Green Fern was the Demonic Plant Honored One and was quite concerned about it.
"Ahem~"
Wang Shouzhe coughed a couple of times, feeling slightly awkward.
He had the feeling that the Immortal Emperor’s "treat her well" seemed to have an implication.
He wanted to explain, but since the Immortal Emperor didn’t specify, explaining might instead seem suspicious, so he reluctantly gave up and nodded to agree to the matter: "I’ll keep a good watch over Sister Green Fern. As for identifying the spies, our Wang family will do our best."
Although the Immortal Emperor didn’t say it outright, her intention was quite simple, to isolate those prisoners for "healing" for a period, to avoid any spies infiltrating the Immortal Dynasty.
Seeing Wang Shouzhe was transparent in thought, actively cooperative, the Immortal Emperor was very pleased: "Master Shouzhe’s merit to the human race, I won’t overlook, but you’re too wealthy. If I reward you with an immortal crystal, you might not appreciate it."
"How about this, I’ll grant you a privilege. On the premise of not harming the overall interests of the human race, I can agree to one request of yours. Think it over carefully, don’t waste this rare opportunity~~"
With that, she even coquettishly winked at Wang Shouzhe before quickly ending the communication on her own.
Admittedly, Her Majesty the Immortal Emperor was already stunningly beautiful and maintained herself well, throwing a seductive wink without any sense of discord.
For a moment, Wang Shouzhe was speechless, wanting to retort in front of her: As the Immortal Emperor, aren’t you a bit too casual?
Unfortunately, the Immortal Emperor didn’t give him this chance.
Wang Shouzhe returned the crystal screen to Wang Fugui with a resigned expression, casually inquiring about his studies in the High Clan School, then turned to leave.
Who would have thought, as soon as he turned, he found Emperor Zi’an standing silently behind him, looking at him with a face full of resentment.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Wang Shouzhe was taken aback.
"Shouzhe, in terms of looks, talent, and wisdom, I’m not inferior to you, am I? Yet, Her Majesty the Immortal Emperor is too biased..." Emperor Zi’an’s expression was indignant, his tone full of resentment.
From start to finish, Her Majesty hadn’t glanced at him, not even for small talk. Too much! Simply too much~!
Wang Shouzhe gave him a side glance: "Did you by chance ask Her Majesty for money?"
Emperor Zi’an: "..."
Wang Shouzhe, realizing, lazily concluded: "You’re too poor."
"You’re infuriating!" Emperor Zi’an stomped in anger, "Having money is everything? Wait till I develop Da Qian, wait till I get rich, I’ll make the Immortal Emperor regret turning a blind eye today."
"Great-grandfather." Wang Fugui, watching Emperor Zi’an from the side, felt a bit compelled, silently took out a stack of immortal crystal notes and handed them to him, "I’ve saved some pocket money. You can take it to rebuild the country."
"Fugui, as an elder, how can I take your pocket money..." Emperor Zi’an was about to return the notes but sensed something off. He looked down and his eyes nearly popped out, "Wait a minute! How much is this?"
"Not much, just over ten million immortal crystals. I didn’t count exactly." Wang Fugui blinked, speaking matter-of-factly.
