After a long meeting, Lory decide to take a break by visiting her best friend, once she arrived, she was surprised to see Ming Yue Yin already there. Ming Yue Yin's face lit up when she saw Lory then she pounced on her recklessly.

"Auntie, I missed you!" Ming Yue Yin hugged Lory tightly while jumping up and down.

​​

Lory was startled and surprised Ming Yue Yin came sooner than she thought, "You really came huh, don't you have a country to manage?" she worriedly said.

Ming Yue Yin let go of her embrace and smirked mischievously, "It is the empress' privilege to delegate her work to her capable subordinates"

Lory gave her a cursing look then she turned her gaze to Yang Xi Ying who was sitting gracefully drinking tea. "What do you think Xi Ying?"

"Worry..." Yang Xi Ying reply sarcastically while maintaining her beautiful smile.

Ming Yue Yin didn't feel offended even the slightest, on the contrary, her smile grew wider, Ming Yue Yin just realized how much she missed the sarcastic jokes of her two best friends. As if he was taking a breath of fresh air, Ming Yue Yin shrugged casually then sat down at the round table next to Yang Xi Ying "By the way, I've heard everything that happened and if I may say so… this is interesting!" she squealed excitedly.

"Glad you guys enjoyed it" Lory sneered as she sat down with them.

Ming Yue Yin waved her hand in the air, "Oh please Aunt, I have spent a lot of money to increase military strength and cultivate the soldiers, but I didn't have the chance to test how far my military strength has grown so Heaven Gate Sect would be a good opportunity to test the strength of my army," she said casually.

"You know some of them might get hurt or die, right?" Lory raised an eyebrow.

"They are soldiers, they know what they are signed up for, and besides Wei Zu Tian does pose a serious threat to the peace of my peoples, that's why I put a lot of surveillance on him but sadly we lose his track lately" Ming Yue Yin show her obvious annoyance.

"He poses a threat for the country?" Lory knows Wei Zu Tian is dangerous but she didn't know Ming Yue Yin would treat him like a terrorist.

Ming Yue Yin took a sip of her wine before she placed her teacup gently on the table "Wei Zu Tian is a loose cannon, not only lunatic, he also very vicious and had no bottom line whatsoever, just like a kid he would take everything he wanted whether it's right or not!"

"I think Li Xin is also a little like that?" Lori tilted her head.

"He's not the same!" Ming Yue Yin shook her head, "Scary uncle can be cruel and merciless some times….well, most of the time" she corrected, but then she raised her index finger in the air "However, scary uncle was never the one to launch an attack first, actually, he was generous enough to give them a stern warning before he actually attacked, well, it's their problem if they did not take uncle warning seriously"

Yang Xi Ying also agreed, "Oh, I heard about it" Yang Xi Ying chimed in, "Someone had sent women and a mountain of treasures as offerings to get Long Ming's favor, however, he burned all the offerings and sent the women back, But there a woman refused to be sent home, she even threatened to kill herself if she wasn't allowed to stay, of course, her attitude irritated lord Long Ming. Since lord Long Ming didn't pay attention to his threat, that woman dared to slit her own neck, I think that woman thought lord Long Ming would pity her sadly lord Long Ming doesn't care at all, he doesn't help that woman instead he stood there quietly as if waiting whether she will die or not"

"So is that woman dead?" Ming Yue Yin wasn't surprised to hear Zhao Li Xin's attitude, she knew how cold Zhao Li Xin was towards everyone except Lory.

Yang Xi Ying shook her hand and laughed "No, apparently that woman was just pretending, the wound wasn't deep at all she even cleverly avoided the veins in her neck so the wound wasn't fatal at all" Even though that woman action was excessive but she most applauded of her bravery or perhaps her stupidity for daring to trick the demon lord.

"Why are there so many crazy women around uncle?" Ming Yue Yin felt sorry for Zhao Li Xin who often met strange and crazy women. "Anyway, uncle is much better than that Wei Zu Tian. Unfortunately, because he lives on another continent, no one here knows how dangerous he is, but people with extensive information like us would know how severe his action is to other people." Ming Yue Yin expressed her deep concern for Wei Zu Tian's presence in her country.

"Yes, I also heard it from Brother Li" Yang Xi Ying rubbed her stomach, subconsciously protecting her unborn child "I can't imagine someone like Wei Zu Tian living in this world"

"I have already announced the news of Wei Zu Tian's arrival and the information about him to the officials in Sun Jan city so that they will not allow their beautiful daughter or son to leave the house, for the time being, I don't want what happened to the Guan family to happen in here too" Ming Yue Yin clenched her jaw.

Ming Yue Yin may sometimes act as an unreliable ruler in front of Lory and her friends, but in truth, Ming Yue Yin is a very dedicated and wise ruler, Ming Yue Yin also cares deeply for all of her subordinates and citizens.

Therefore under the guidance of great master Zhang, prime minister Wu and General Fu Ming Yue Yin had transformed into such extraordinary rulers that in less than three years she was able to pull the Liang Zu kingdom from the brink of bankruptcy due to the extreme corruption and oppression of the heavenly jade pavilion sect to become one of the most powerful countries in the Xin Fang continent.

The first thing she did after being crowned Empress she strengthened the military to secure the country and also the borders so that she could reopen previously unsafe trade routes to lure merchants to come to the Liang Zu kingdom, Ming Yue Yin then took a huge loan from the Hei sect Shen in order to stabilize the country's economy, fortunately, because of her good relationship with Lory Sect Hei Shen gave her very low interest compared to Ming Yue Yin borrowing funds from other countries or other sources and it greatly helped Liang Zu in improving their economy.

After that with the help of information from the Hei Shen sect and general Fu he got rid of all those who still supported the previous emperor as well as all those who were involved in corruption and other crimes.

Ming Yue Yin did face a lot of resistance from many sides but after they saw how high Ming Yue Yin's cultivation level was plus the support from the three legendary figures of the Liang Zu kingdom and the Hei Shen sect everyone shut their mouth.

because of his success in building her country, Ming Yue Yin's reputation soared. Eventually, she was able to shut out all those who doubted her and turn herself into one of the greatest emperors the Liang Zu kingdom had ever had.

However, standing at the peak was a lonely place but he only had a few people she could trust let alone people she could consider as friends, that was why she had more attachments to Lory and Yang Xi Ying.

Just because Wei Zu Tian was interested in the young lady of the Guan family, he killed the entire Guan family because they refused his request to take the daughter of the Guan family as his concubine, even the innocent fiancé of that woman, and his family was not spare." Ming Yue Yin's face clearly showed her hatred for Wei Zu Tian's barbaric actions.

"Compare with Wei Zu Tian, Master Long Ming is like a kitten" Yang Xi Ying pursed her lips, Yang Xi Ying didn't understand why many people said Long Ming was a monster when there were many people out there who were much worse than him.

Ming Yue Yin tilted her head as she commented, "A kitten that can gnaw at your limbs and pluck out your eyeballs but nevertheless, uncle's ruthlessness is far from Wei Zu Tian let alone it's always women who throw themselves at uncle whether he likes it or not"

"Speaking of the Guan family, I have news about them" Lory fiddle the teacup in his hand as she speaks. Since Wei Zu Tian's matter involved everyone and their group frequently exchanged information so why not inform them early about the recent situation.

Ming Yue Yin interest piqued "Oh, isn't Miss Guan the only survivor of her family, sadly she was forced to become Wei Zu Tian's woman though" ever since Ming Yue Yin received news of Wei Zu Tian's arrival to Sun Jan city from the Hei Shen sect she had gathered all information involving Wei Zu Tian and the Heaven's Gate sect and the news was more shocking than she expected.
