《Emperor’s Domination》Chapter 4128: Covering Up?

Moreover, his power was comparable to any sect master. He controlled everything on this island as well.
He bowed deeply towards Li Qiye then told the rest: “All the deeds pertaining to this island have my personal seal and can’t be faked.”
Spectators glanced at the main parties. Earlier, that side-branch disciple swore that Xu Yiyun’s deed was fake. Now, the monarch was here to attest.
The disciple’s expression soured as he staggered backward. He didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate to this level.
In the beginning, everyone thought that Li Qiye was an idiot who got lucky. Thus, they sold their lands and treasures to Li Qiye at a ridiculous price, far higher than the actual valuation.
Li Qiye didn’t care at all and purchased the majority of the offers with the help of Xu Yiyun.
The sellers thought that Li Qiye was tricked and wouldn’t actually come to finish the transaction. In this case, the man shared the same thought.
His ancestral land on this island wasn’t worth much yet he sold it to Li Qiye for a high price. He thought that Li Qiye wouldn’t be able to come and get it either.
After all, this was Cloud Dream Lake - the lair of bandits. Moreover, even if Li Qiye did, he wasn’t afraid, being from Nine-wheel Citadel and all.
Now, the guy actually came for his tiny plot on top of bringing an unstoppable legion. He was scared out of his mind and started running away.
Of course, Xu Yiyun had traveled so far and wouldn’t give up so easily, hence the current situation.
“Miss Xu, do you mind if I check the deed?” The tortoise monarch asked Xu Yiyun.
Yiyun looked over at Li Qiye and was granted permission. She then handed the deed to the monarch.

He accepted and inspected it. “Buzz.” The deed scroll became brighter. The map of the island appeared with several bright dots - the location of the side-branch disciple’s ancestral branch. A seal of a crawling tortoise also lit up on the deed.
“It is real and the ownership has been transferred.” The monarch concluded.
The spotlight changed back to the side-branch disciple. Even Illusory Princess had an ugly expression. This conclusion was a slap to her face.
“No, this must be a mistake.” The disciple still denied the accusation.
“In accordance to the transactional rules of Tortoise Monarch Island, this deed formalizes Young Noble Li’s ownership of the respective plot.” The monarch ignored him and continued sternly: “Cloud Dream Lake is indeed a place for bandits and villains, this includes this island. However, there are rules here that must be upheld. Violation will be punishable with banishment, not only to the violator but also all kins.”
People quietly discussed the outcome but none tried to help the side-branch member. The rules of Tortoise Monarch Island couldn’t be broken. They were crucial for the island’s prosperity.
Since this side-branch disciple had violated it, he deserved the banishment. Pleasing Nine-wheel Citadel was not worth opposing the monarch.
The disciple was in disarray. Their properties have already been taken. Being banished now meant losing everything at the lake.
“Your-” He looked over at the princess only to be disappointed by her scowl.
“Unfortunately, this isn’t over yet. It’s not a matter of repaying the debt.” Li Qiye stared at him.
“What, what do you want?” The disciple staggered backward in fear.
“Those who welch must be made an example of. In your case, death.” Li Qiye lazily said.
“You’re out of line!” The disciple shouted.

“I have spent an outrageous sum buying stuff so if everyone tries to welch, I’ll waste too much time dealing with each one. As the saying goes, kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Don’t worry, I’m a merciful person who doesn’t believe in clan extermination. Kill yourself now and I’ll drop this issue.” Li Qiye revealed a bright and harmless smile.
The crowd had mixed responses - some thought that he was right while others felt that he was pushing it.
It was true that Li Qiye had bought many properties after becoming rich. Thus, forcefully dealing with issues might take a long time. Making an example of this disciple was a fine solution.
On the other hand, to kill someone over a matter of debt was quite extreme. Li Qiye had already taken back the land too.
“Don’t be ridiculous, members of Nine-wheel aren’t subjected to punishments and judgments from outsiders! You are trying to undermine our authority and prestige!” The disciple hid behind the princess and shouted.
“What authority and prestige? Not to mention Nine-wheel, even if it was Ten-wheel or Hundred-wheel, if someone from there dares to welch me, I’ll kill them even if they’re an ancestor or the sect master!”
“How dare you! Disrespecting us will result in death!” The disciple became bolder and stepped forward.
Initially, he thought the princess would definitely save him. But now, Li Qiye had disrespected Nine-wheel Citadel. This became a bigger issue.
“What did you say?” The princess’ expression changed. Earlier, her member was at fault so she didn’t say anything.
“I am saying that if your sect is foolish enough to cross me, I’ll annihilate you all.” Anyone else would have taken back their words but not Li Qiye.
“Ten deaths wouldn’t be enough, you deserve clan extermination!” The side-branch member jumped on this opportunity.
“This brat has balls of steel to make this claim.” One expert whispered.
To say such words in public meant starting an irreconcilable feud with Nine-wheel Citadel.
“Such impudence!” The princes could have dropped the issue with the side-branch member but this was unforgivable.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
