That's What Villains Are Like

"Jiang Lan..."

In the hall, Jiang Lan was thinking about his next plans and plans.

Emperor Xia's voice suddenly came from outside. She did not bring the palace maid with her, but came alone. Her wide skirt was lingering on the ground, which seemed to hinder her walking. Her hands were holding her, which made her legs appear to be slender and straight.

After the Holy Son Ceremony, Emperor Xia did not leave directly. Apparently, he still had some things he wanted to talk to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan waved his hand to the many maids in the palace to go down, as if he had known that Emperor Xia would come.

"Are you taking the initiative to confess to me about Jiang Ruxian? It's just in the middle of the night. Isn't this an inappropriate time?" He smiled and asked casually.

Emperor Xia always felt that he was not as confident as before in front of Jiang Lan.

Especially after witnessing Jiang Lan's terrifying strength at this Holy Son Ceremony.

Looking back at the group of warblers around him, his irritability was even worse than before.

"Jiang Rushian is stronger than me, I can't resist her."

"You and I are a legitimate couple. What's wrong with me coming here at this time?"

Emperor Xia came to the palace and said expressionlessly. His tone was rarely as tough as before, but rather softer. He didn't even call himself "I".

Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Her reply was non-committal.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Xia thought he had said something wrong, and looked slightly suspicious.

"Wearing this dress and robe, it is actually a hindrance when walking. It is not as comfortable as the casual clothes in the palace..."

After thinking about it, she took the initiative to pick up the topic and reached out to fiddle with her skirt.

A pair of slender and straight legs are revealed between the skirt that hangs naturally like petals.

However, Jiang Lan still ignored her and carefully wiped the glazed purple and gold lamp in his hand with an embroidered handkerchief to ensure that it was spotless.

Emperor Xia looked at him, gathered up the hem of his skirt, sat down on the jade stool beside him, and stared at him for several breaths.

Finally, seeing that Jiang Lan was still paying no attention to her, as if the glazed purple and gold lamp in his hand was more beautiful than her, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Why are you ignoring me?" she asked.

"Didn't you see that I was busy?" Jiang Lan asked without looking back.

"Jiang Lan, do you blame me for informing Jiang Rushian of your whereabouts?" Emperor Xia seemed to have noticed something and asked.

"It's not weird at all."

"Jiang Rushian is nowhere to be found now. You can rest assured later." Jiang Lan put down the glazed purple gold lamp in his hand.

"I'm not here to ask about Jiang Ruxian..."

Emperor Xia didn't care at all about where Jiang Rushian went. She even wished that Jiang Rushian would never show up again.

"Then what are you here for?"

"Want to see if I have a hidden beauty in the golden house?" Jiang Lan laughed.

Emperor Xia was a little angry, but he still tried to be calm and said, "If you have nothing to do, can't you come here? Don't you welcome me?"

Jiang Lan clicked her tongue, then turned to look at her deeply, and then said, "After knowing my strength today, you are worried that you will not be able to control me in the future, so you came here to tell me in advance?"

"Jiang Lan..."

Emperor Xia's voice suddenly became louder. He looked at him angrily and said, "In your heart, am I this kind of person?"

Jiang Lan thought for a long time after hearing this, and then looked at her seriously and said, "In terms of status, although we are called husband and wife, we have no friendship and no love as husband and wife. In the final analysis, we can only be regarded as husband and wife. The relationship between king and minister.”

"From the perspective of enemy and friend, you hate the Prime Minister's Mansion to the bone, and you hate this marriage to the extreme. The day you and the Prime Minister's Mansion draw swords against each other, you and I will become enemies. If there is the only similarity, then maybe it is Our positions and considerations.”

When Emperor Xia heard what he said, he was suddenly startled, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that Jiang Lan had suddenly pulled the relationship between the two of them very far away, so far away that she didn't even know what to say when she opened her mouth. .

She wanted to retort, but she didn't know what to say.

Positions and considerations…

Also, Jiang Lan did not want the world to be in chaos, nor did he want the Xia Dynasty to collapse.

And she wants to stabilize her political rule and status. Although her starting point is different, in the final analysis, what she wants to do is the same.

"What do you mean by suddenly saying this?" Emperor Xia asked coldly.

"It's not interesting, I just want to clarify the relationship between us." Jiang Lan said.

Emperor Xia suddenly fell silent.

"If you want to thank me for what happened on Feixian Island, then you don't have to. The outbreak of the demonic disaster will not be a good thing for Daxia or the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

"I just did what I had to do." Seeing Emperor Xia's silence, Jiang Lan seemed to know what she was thinking and said casually.

"Then help me from the beginning..." Emperor Xia felt his voice tremble slightly, and his palms unconsciously exerted force.

Jiang Lan laughed, then suppressed his smile, looked at her seriously, and said, "You don't think I'm doing it for you, do you?"

Emperor Xia felt that his words were like a sharp thorn, piercing into the pit of her heart. She felt her chest was tight and congested, and her hands that were holding her skirt tightened instantly.

This emotion was very uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and a sourness seemed to rise in my nose.

"Did I say something wrong? Which one is wrong?"

"Or do you want to hear me say, Your Majesty, that I am actually doing this for you?" Jiang Lan looked at her with interest, turning a blind eye to her expression.

"You bastard..."

Emperor Xia gritted his silver teeth and felt his nose was sore, but he still looked at Jiang Lan coldly, refusing to show any signs of weakness.

Because of what happened at the Holy Son Ceremony during the day, she had a lot to say to Jiang Lan, including the matter of Flying Immortal Island.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had indeed become somewhat dependent on Jiang Lan during these days, and she did develop some affection for him. Her mood would be greatly affected by his presence, but she never thought that one day she would be Jiang Lan was so humiliated.

The pride in his heart still made Emperor Xia hold his head high, without showing the slightest hint of timidity or sadness, but his eyes were as cold as ice slag.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. From now on, I will still help you solve your problems, help you secure your throne, and help you stabilize your country. You can rest assured..." Jiang Lan continued slowly.

"You are just a bastard..." Emperor Xia's eyes were cold, but his eyes were slightly red.

The next moment, she suddenly stretched out her palm, but before she could put it down, she was caught by Jiang Lan.

"I helped you secure your position in the country. I suffered a lot at the hands of the barbarians. I didn't come back just to be slapped by you." Jiang Lan looked calm, without any ups and downs in his eyes.

Xia Huang gritted his silver teeth, and at this moment he found that he was almost unable to free his palm from his hand.

"Let me go..." After all, she did not choose to take action, but just looked at Jiang Lan coldly.

"It's fine, why are you still crying?" Jiang Lan looked at her reddish eyes.

Emperor Xia smiled coldly and said, "Haha, it's a pity that because you disappeared on Feixian Island, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep and had trouble sleeping and eating. I even turned down the morning meeting. I only look forward to your news every day. I thought To know if you are safe..."

"Thankfully, in order to come to Taiyi Sect to see you, I asked the palace maid to prepare three hundred sets of dresses. I also asked about some of your preferences when you were in Yuxianfang, and chose the most suitable one from them."

"My thoughts and worries seem to be completely unnecessary. I might as well feed them to dogs. In the end, I am the most ridiculous one."

"If I had known, Jiang Lan, how you view me, I would never have agreed to a marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion. I would rather fight to the death with the Prime Minister's Mansion than fight to the end..."

When Emperor Xia said this, his eyes were cold and his face raised slightly, but the corners of his eyes gradually turned red, and moist mist was gathering.

She was very proud. As the Lord of Great Xia, she was not allowed to show weakness, so even though she had been humiliated by Jiang Lan just now and her nose was sore, she never shed tears.

After Jiang Lan heard these words, she didn't say anything, but seemed to be silent for a long time, and then reached out to help her brush away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Emperor Xia is such a proud and arrogant person. It is really not easy for her to say these words...

"Don't touch me..."

Just when Jiang Lan was about to stretch out his hand, Emperor Xia coldly knocked his hand off like a cat with explosive fur.

"Why are you crying? As Emperor Xia, how can you cry?"

Jiang Lan sighed slightly, and then seemed to have a headache. He apologized honestly and admitted his mistake, saying, "It was my fault, it was my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry with the hurtful words I just said. After all, the speaker did not mean it, and the listener did it... …”

"What do you mean now?" Emperor Xia still had the same cold expression.

"Although I did make a mistake just now, don't you have any responsibility?" Jiang Lan asked.

"What mistake did I make? At most, I gave my heart to the wrong person and trusted the wrong person..." Emperor Xia said coldly.

"You knew clearly about my relationship with Jiang Rushian and informed her of my whereabouts. I can understand your difficulties regarding this matter, but why didn't you even plan to pass the news to me? In your eyes, I am your A chess piece, a tool, or what?"

"I thought you would give me an explanation tonight, but what kind of attitude did you have, that you were perfunctory? It didn't matter? You didn't even apologize, and you still had that condescending attitude, as if everything was taken for granted. , maybe in your eyes, a minister should look like this..."

"In that case, what I said just now was wrong again?" Jiang Lan asked calmly.

After hearing these words, Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and the coldness on his face froze.

Jiang Lan still asked calmly, "Can you give me an answer to these questions now?"

"I……"

Emperor Xia was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Lan grabbed the palm she had raised just now, took half a step forward, and looked down at her. There seemed to be some kind of emotion surging deep in his eyes, and said, "In that case, let me ask another question, and you tell me , what do you think I am?"

At this moment, Emperor Xia was completely stunned.

The sour and sad emotions that were still stored up seemed to have disappeared.

She finally understood why Jiang Lan said this just now. He was not only angry, but also resentful.

From his perspective, his approach and attitude are indeed very problematic.

Jiang Lan asked forcefully, "Can you answer me?"

As strong and proud as Emperor Xia, she experienced the feeling of being forced into a corner for the first time. She felt that her current momentum was suppressed by Jiang Lan.

"I……"

"I……"

She felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Well……"

Emperor Xia's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and he really couldn't breathe now.

She wanted to push Jiang Lan away with her other hand, but was caught by Jiang Lan's other hand. His slender white wrist was firmly grasped in his hand.

The next moment, there was a loud rumble and a violent earthquake. Suddenly, a powerful and terrifying aura escaped from the hall, and figures flew everywhere.

Emperor Xia's hair was disheveled, and her black hair was flying like a waterfall. There was a heavy force of heaven and earth flowing through her body. She stood in mid-air, her complexion was red, her mouth was slightly moist, and she looked at Jiang Lan angrily.

"Bold..."

"Jiang Lan...you...are you committing the following crime?"

Her emotions were agitated, her chest was heaving, and her tone was no longer calm at all, but instead sounded a little panicked and nervous.

Jiang Lan straightened his wrinkled robe and said calmly, "So what if we committed chaos above? How about another crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"You..." Emperor Xia was even more embarrassed, knowing that his crime of deceiving the emperor was referring to bullying.

Immediately, there was a brush, the hem of her skirt fluttered, and in a flash of light, her figure disappeared on the spot. In Jiang Lan's eyes, she seemed to be running away in a panic.

The world was about to change, but the relationship between Emperor Xia and him was still tepid. Only then did Jiang Lan plan to take a strong medicine to make her face her true heart and make a choice.

Now it seems that the effect must be good, and it also brings a lot of luck.

If he didn't force him, with Xia Huang's character, even if he noticed his own emotional changes, he probably wouldn't care too much.

A night of silence.

The next day Jiang Lan learned the news that Emperor Xia returned to Daxia with a group of maids overnight. He had expected this and was not surprised.

At noon, Xiao Yingyue also came to visit, but she came alone and did not bring Li Qingxuan with her. Knowing Li Qingxuan's character of watching the fun and not despising the big things, she simply kept it secret from her.

Jiang Lan informed her of the set of magical needles and many records related to medical skills and geography that he had prepared before. At the same time, he handed over the many medical skills memories from Lin Fan's memory, which were imprinted with divine consciousness, to Xiao as inheritance. full moon.

He never hesitates to give to his own people.

Xiao Yingyue was naturally overjoyed and surprised by this. She wished she could immediately return to Yaowang Valley to retreat and study these records and inheritance.

Jiang Lan still remembers the inheritance of the medical immortals in the original plot, which came from an ancient world called the Alchemy World. However, that world has long been exhausted and decayed, and the inheritance left behind is incomplete.

In the future plot, Xiao Yingyue will get this part of the inheritance, and even get the will recognition of the remaining alchemy world.

Of course, this will come much later.

In the evening, when the sun was setting, Xiao Yingyue secretly left Shengzi Peak, as if she was afraid of being seen and noticed.

Jiang Lan used the dust removal technique several times to clean up some of the remaining smells in the palace. Although Xiao Yingyue's temperament was a bit sinister, she considered things very carefully, was generous and tolerant, and did not seek fame. This made her Jiang Lan appreciated it very much.

It's a pity that this time, I couldn't see the tulle dress made of croaker texture in Xiao Yingyue's Sumeru Ring...

The next day, a group of immortal sect members who were friends with Taiyi Sect also chose to leave after temporarily staying for two days.

But before leaving, Fairy Yunni, the head of Yaochi Sect, asked Ling Zhuyun to come and meet Jiang Lan, hoping that Ling Zhuyun would go with him.

As the leader of the Immortal Sect, Taiyi Sect, and Jiang Lan now has a Holy Son, he has an unshirkable responsibility to solve the scourge of the Blood Immortal Sect for the sake of the world.

Because of the secret realm of True Monarch Zixia in Anyang City, Ling Zhuyun has been targeted by the Blood Immortal Sect. During this period, she was attacked many times. You can imagine how much the Blood Immortal Sect hates her.

Fairy Yunni wanted Jiang Lan and Ling Zhuyun to go together so that she could have someone to take care of her. Of course, only she knew whether she had other intentions.

According to the rules, the saints of the Yaochi Sect are not allowed to marry, but the existence of rules has always been broken...

Regarding Fairy Yunni's request, Jiang Lan declined on the grounds that she still needed to retreat in Taiyi Sect for a period of time to digest and absorb the inheritance of the Holy Son.

Ling Zhuyun was not disappointed, but because Jiang Lan was already strong enough and so diligent, she was inspired and encouraged, and secretly determined to catch up with him.

Then the two of them had a long chat in the palace, talking about their first encounter and the many experiences they had in the secret realm. Ling Zhuyun was also very curious about Jiang Lan's current powerful cultivation. It was clear that Jiang Lan was Lan's hands are powerless to restrain a chicken.

Jiang Lan had already explained this. He still used the excuse of heart-eating disease to tell some secrets about himself. It was not that he had no cultivation at the beginning. On the contrary, if he did not have this disease, his original cultivation strength would not necessarily be as good as Weak now...

The existence of the heart-eating disease also sharpened his will and soul in some ways.

After listening to this, Ling Zhuyun admired him even more.

For several days, there was an endless stream of people in front of the Saint Child Peak where Jiang Lan lived. Not only guests from all over the world came to visit, but also elders and disciples from all the peaks of the Taiyi Sect. Even the Wang family and the Ji family sent people to see him off. Congratulations.

Although the three major families within the Taiyi Sect are fighting with each other, they are all clear-headed and know clearly what to do, especially now that Li Sheng is in power and dominates the world, no one dares to have any small thoughts.

If a terrifying monster like Jiang Lan appeared in the past, the Wang family and Ji family would probably have trouble sleeping and eating, thinking of ways to get rid of him secretly.

The best situation for the three major families is to check and balance each other and maintain a balanced situation, rather than being the dominant one.

The appearance of Li Sheng has faintly broken this situation.

The Li family's small world, the deepest part of the clan's land, is covered in deep mist and is filled with ancient mountains and mountains. They are majestic and majestic, spread across lakes and lakes. There are many ancient and strange beasts living in them. They are all wise, have lived for a long time, and are powerful.

In some areas, you can even see the spiritual energy of heaven and earth liquefying, turning into various mountain spirits and wild monsters, including dragons and phoenixes, fluttering in the forest, and many thumb-sized creatures that look like flower elves, appearing in patches of orchids. Collect nectar from exotic flowers and brew it.

Once here, it is already a forbidden area for the Li family, and even clan elders cannot easily set foot there.

At this time, Jiang Lan was sitting quietly on a mountain peak. The top of the mountain was flat, and there was a thatched house not far away. Li Ran stood here, watching everything silently.

"Grandpa, it's time to start..."

Jiang Lan closed his eyes, and the mountain breeze blew, and his ink-like hair shimmered with brilliance. The blurry mist spread, shrouding his face, making him look hazy, as if he was sitting cross-legged in another world.

At this moment, he was ethereal, distant and aloof. If he were said to be a relegated immortal, some people would believe him.

"The small world condensed by a saint has been refined by the Helian family for nearly ten thousand years. Even a half-saint who is about to enter the ninth realm is not completely sure that he can control it."

"If you fail, you have to think about the consequences." Li Ran said, reminding Jiang Lan that he was a little worried that Jiang Lan was too confident.

Even with his protection, if he failed, the backlash would be enough to turn Jiang Lan into a cripple and fall from the world-famous altar in an instant.

In his opinion, Jiang Lan is now powerful enough to defeat all his peers without fear of any opponent, and there is no need to take risks.

Jiang Lan closed her eyes and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know what's going on. I won't do anything I'm not sure about, let alone bet my own future."

If there was no existence of the World Dao Fruit, he would not dare to take such a risk. If the small world was so easy to control, the Helian family would not be so vulnerable when facing Li Ran.

Even the ancestors of the Helian family couldn't refine it. You must know that they are members of the same bloodline, and the small world is sacrificed by their breath day and night.

Only saints have the power to create and control the small world.

Below the saints, all are ants. This saying is not unreasonable.

Seeing that Jiang Lan insisted on doing this, Li Ran stopped saying anything. With a flick of his robe, an astonishing aura suddenly washed over Jiang Lan's head, like layer after layer of ripples.

The fluctuations of time and space filled the air, and then time and space cracked one after another, and a luminous sphere fell from there. There were hundreds of millions of rays of light and millions of auspicious colors. This aura was so majestic and sacred that the void was instantly crushed.

The top of Jiang Lan's head suddenly became colorful, swirling in seven colors, and the luminous sphere fell straight towards him. Because of Li Ran's control and refining, this small world did not appear huge, but it was like a small mountain.

Under such power, let alone the Seventh Realm Dharma Realm, even the Eighth Tribulation Bridge Realm would be crushed to death in an instant, with both body and soul destroyed, making it impossible to hold on.

Jiang Lan made a crisp sound of bone cracking, his limbs were twisting at the speed of the naked eye, and at the same time, a new breath of life emerged, and his injuries healed quickly.

He let go of his breath and tried to contact this small world. At the same time, the Dao Fruit of the Realm trembled slightly, and a vast and supreme breath, like the breath of the Supreme Realm that controlled billions of realms in the heavens, swept away. Supported by the falling little world.

For a time, this small world spread a sense of closeness and surrender.

The terrifying surging force that was originally enough to crush the void became softer like a breeze, slowly surrounding Jiang Lan and enveloping him.

Li Ran looked at this scene and was extremely shocked.

"It's against common sense and against the rules. What is Lan'er's fate?"

"Is it really the Emperor of Heaven who will rule all the worlds in the great changes in the future? Otherwise, why would this small world of the Helian family be so close and surrendered to him?"

Even in Li Ran's state of mind, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating and trembling, and then he became extremely excited and excited.

He had never been able to see through Jiang Lan's destiny, and it felt like he was shrouded in a layer of fog from beginning to end.

And today, he couldn't help but feel excited, and began to speculate that in the future, the world would change greatly, and the heaven would reappear, and the master of the heaven would naturally be the supreme emperor.

Was the future Emperor of Heaven born in their Li family?
