I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon - Chapter 467
Chapter 467: Li An’an’s flirting (1)
Li An’an took the elevator to the third floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center.
This was a specially arranged ‘foreign visitors’ meeting hall’.
The meeting hadn’t started yet — it wouldn’t officially start until two o’clock in the afternoon.
The process was very simple.
The organizer would give a tablet to the participants. On the tablet, there were photos of the men and women who had signed up to participate.
Then, they would look at each other’s photos and tick those that caught their fancy.
After both men and women tick each other, the organizer would arrange a meeting.
It was usually five to ten minutes.
If the conversation was good, they would enter the next procedure — a date.
Simply put, this program was a large-scale blind date.
Because of this, both inside and outside the venue, there were many people distributing photos and profiles.
In this foreign visitors’ meeting hall, there were even a series of huge photos hanging down from the fourth floor.
One by one, elegant princesses in dresses were smiling sweetly in the photos.
Under these huge photos, there were also staff members sent by the foreign ministries of various countries to receive those who were interested in registering to meet, so that they could get a preliminary understanding of the situation.
Therefore, the moment Li An’an entered, her eyes were dazzled.
“The young Siamese Princess?” She looked at a photo and blinked. “She’s quite cute!”
“Unfortunately… She’s too young!”
The princess in the photo was wearing a plain white bhikkhu costume and was kneeling in front of a Buddhist shrine.
She looked so pitiful that even Li An’an felt a little sorry for her.
Unfortunately…
Her Highness was at most fifteen years old!
This made Li An’an extremely disappointed!
The legal age for marriage in the Federal Empire was eighteen years old.
She couldn’t wait to become a great-aunt.
However, she couldn’t wait for three years.
“This is good!” She turned her head and saw the photo of the Princess of the Ceylon Kingdom next to Siam.
Just like Siam, Ceylon was also a country that worshipped Buddha.
The princess in the photo was wearing a light-black silk dress and a crown that was studded with precious stones
Her eyes were azure blue.
Her nose was straight and her makeup was light and elegant. She looked dignified and graceful, very much in line with the people of the Federal Empire’s yearning for foreign beauties!
The only problem was…
“Little Ping’an only believes in science!” Li An’an muttered.
She naturally understood her nephew.
Little Ping’an had been a firm materialist ever since he was young. He never believed in ghosts and demons.
He dared to go to the legendary haunted house to dance at the age of seven or eight.
When he was in his teens, he could walk alone in the dark paths of the industrial park.
He was neutral toward religion.
This would have been an advantage.
Unfortunately…
Ceylon worshipped Buddha, and the whole country worshipped Buddha.
The royal family of Ceylon was even more devout Buddhists.
In the past three hundred years, there had never been a member who did not believe in Buddhism.
So, she could only give up regretfully.
Fortunately, there were quite a number of princesses at this meeting.
In addition to the familiar countries in the world.
There were also more than ten huge photos of the princesses of Land of Qin hanging under the pillars.
Li An’an’s eyes were dazzled.
She kept feeling that this one was pretty and that one was not bad either.
For a time, it was difficult to make a choice.
There was nothing she could do about it.
The recovery of spirit aura and the psionic power tide had been blowing around the world for two hundred years.
Even the Princesses of Habsburg, who was previously publicly recognized as the ‘ugly women’s concentration camp’ by Land of Qin, had become elegant and beautiful.
However…
Li An’an thought about it, and her thoughts were enlightened.
“Only children make choices!” She chuckled.
In any case, even if there were conflicts among these princesses, the one who would have a headache was little Ping’an!
Thus, she strode towards the huge photo of Princess Ceylon.
By the time she walked over, there were already more than ten people lining up in front of her.
When she pricked up her ears, she heard the voice of the person who was registering.
“My Young Master is the only son of the chairman of the Yuanhang Group, Xie Ruyi. He graduated from the Federal Empire Central University and obtained a doctorate in business administration. Currently, he is a director of the Group.”
Li An’an listened and muttered, “The Xie family of the Yuanhang Group!”
The Yuanhang Group was a new financial group of the Federal Empire.
The current chairman, Xie Ruyi, was also known as the ‘King of Investment’.
Legend had it that the stocks and bonds he held in his hands were worth more than 200 billion yuan.
The market value of Yuanhang Group was almost one trillion yuan.
A leading player in the capital markets of the Federal Empire
Even if Li An’an did not pay attention to the financial news, she had heard about it.
Therefore, she felt a little bit of pressure.
However…
Soon, she laughed.
“What is a consortium?”
“So what if its market value is one trillion?”
Little Ping’an had her as a backer. She was also from a wealthy family!
As long as she become a general in the future, her status would instantly surpass that of the so-called capital consortium.
Because a general could destroy a country and massacre a city, and he was considered a national treasure!
The capital of a consortium was just a tool.
Thinking of this, she was full of confidence.
Because she was also from a wealthy family!
… … …
Zhang Hui looked at the monitor.
He felt a little baffled.
That person’s clone seemed to be waiting in line?
“Princess Ceylon?” He pondered and wanted to pick up the phone and call the Ceylon Embassy to ask about the situation.
However, he eventually endured it.
Because he needed to determine that person’s intentions.
And because he understood that person did not like others to interfere with his private life.
Thus, Zhang Hui patiently observed.
As a result…
An hour later, Zhang Hui numbly looked at the person in the surveillance camera, working back and forth from one kingdom to another.
Ceylon, Cochin, Lanfang, Samboja…
He even went to the reception offices of the Kingdom of Qin, such as Habsburg, Lorraine, Sparta, Liansheng, and Francois, to register.
“What’s going on?” Zhang Hui could not understand.
But he had to carefully deal with this situation.
He turned his head again.
He saw the door of the person in Yan Lou open.
That person himself walked out and sent the young girl to the elevator door. Then, he yawned and walked back with a dispirited look on his face.
On the other side, he came to a new registration office.
It was the Kingdom of Fran!
So…
Zhang Hui looked at the two different people in the two surveillance cameras.
One was happy and even skipped from the reception offices of kingdom after kingdom.
The other one looked listless and drowsy.
So…
“Which one is him?”
“And who is pretending to be him?”
“Or…”
“He did it on purpose!?”
“But why?”
Zhang Hui had 100,000 questions in his mind.
Fortunately, he was never alone.
The Blackguard would never make a decision alone.
Colleagues, think tanks, commander-in-chief…
They were all good teachers and good friends.
So, Zhang Hui thought for a moment, sorted out all the surveillance records, and then attached his own questions, one by one sent to the commander-in-chief and his own think tank’s mailbox.
Then, he took out a brief copy and reported this matter to the other generals and the royal family.
After he finished these things, he looked at the surveillance camera again.
Under the surveillance camera, on the third floor of the exhibition center, he seemed to be very happy as he walked out from the reception of the Kingdom of Fran.
From his expression, he seemed very happy.
Zhang Hui looked at this unique and unprecedented expression.
He frowned deeply.
If it was anyone else, he would already be sure that this guy was a fake.
Because it was too unlikely.
But the problem was…
That person was omniscient and omnipotent.
The Blackguard had long confirmed that he knew everything.
Nothing could be hidden from his powerful senses and intuition.
And there were so many servants around him.
If someone dared to impersonate him, Zhang Hui was sure that the imposter would be torn to pieces at the first moment!
Because..
He was actually a member of that guard troop.
Those souls after death would linger by his side for a long time.
Therefore, he could vaguely know some secret things from his psionic sense. Sometimes, he could even hear some terrifying and strange whispers.
He was having a headache over this matter.
The door opened.
Zhang Hui looked up and saw the exhausted Ning Qinghong.
“General Ning…” He stood up. “Any results?”
Ning Qinghong nodded. “I’ve already gotten the names of a few spies…”
She looked at Zhang Hui. “Sir, do you want to arrest them immediately?”
Zhang Hui asked, “Who are they??”
Ning Qinghong said a few names. They were all important figures in the capital.
Zhang Hui was not surprised at all.
This was because these people were capable of doing such a thing.
They were blinded by greed and were shameless.
However…
“Wait a moment!” Zhang Hui smiled and said, “These are just small fish!”
Zhang Hui understood these people.
They might be ambitious, or blinded by greed.
However, they definitely did not have the courage to go against the Blackguard in the imperial Capital.
Therefore…
There was definitely someone behind the scenes.
Moreover, it had to be someone they believe could, at the very least, provide them with security.
Only then would these cowards, these greedy and crazy fellows, have the courage!
Zhang Hui ordered, “I authorize you, the General to have all the authority!”
“Closely monitor their every move!”
“We must capture the person behind them!”
Three hundred years in the Federal Empire, two hundred years in the recovery of spirit aura.
Beneath the surface calm, there were already turbulent waves.
Especially in the transcendent being world, the conflict was becoming more and more intense.
On the surface, they did not dare to resist, but the number of local factions that were dragging them down behind the scenes was increasing.
Thinking of this, a murderous look appeared on Zhang Hui’s face.
“Looks like…” he said, “The Blackguard hasn’t used his sword much for a hundred years, and this has already made people forget the oath we made to all the people and to the Son of Heaven!”
Ning Qinghong’s eyes were filled with excitement as she listened.
Blackguard…
But it had never been a gentle and well-dressed official organization!
This was a violent law enforcement organization.
It had unlimited power to enforce the law in the transcendent beings’ realm!
If killing could solve the problem, then the blackguard would not hesitate to start a massacre!
… … …
Li Rou’an sat on the back of her Phoenix carriage.
She lowered her head.
Her Royal Highness, the Eldest Princess of the Federal Empire, looked at an encrypted document sent to her special private phone.
She slowly reached out to open it.
“Oh…” The corner of the Eldest Princess’s mouth slowly curled up.
“Could it be that he likes the Princess?” The Eldest Princess thought.
It was possible.
After all, ordinary people would like beautiful women.
But some people’s pursuit was higher.
The identity of a princess would undoubtedly make people more excited.
Of course…
Li Rou’an knew that ‘he’ could not be viewed with the eyes of a human.
After all, how could you ask a human to agree with an ape’s aesthetics and consciousness value?
However…
“Then let’s add something!” Li Rou’an smiled and pointed at a name in the contact list on her handphone.
In an instant, the call was connected.
Qing Keqing appeared in the video.
“Your Highness…” The female secretary bowed slightly. “What instructions do you have?”
“Secretary Qing…” Li Rou’an said lazily, “Are you in the exhibition center Now?”
“Yes!” Qing Keqing nodded.
“Then please do me a favor, Secretary Qing…”
“Please give me your instruction, Your Highness!” Qing Keqing immediately said seriously.
“Print out my photo and hang it in the most conspicuous place in the exhibition center!” The Eldest Princess of the Federal Empire suddenly became overbearing like a queen sitting on the throne, dignified, domineering, proud and confident!
This was how the royal princesses of the Great Xia Empire portrayed themselves to be.
In the Imperial Family, the emperors were generally known for their leniency.
In the hearts of the princesses, there lived either the Empress Wu Zetian or the legendary woman warrior Hua Mulan.
Li Rou’an’s generation had evolved to the extreme.
At the age of fifteen, she became the eldest regent princess. Apart from raising and taking care of the young emperor, she also had to act as the representative of the Imperial Family. She had to appease and contact various parties, and she also had to reform the imperial institutions.
This forced the Eldest Princess to be decisive and powerful.
At this moment, her aura was fully unleashed.
Like a real phoenix, she walked out of the myth.
The white fox in her arms, which had been lying quietly all this time, had its hair stand up one by one.
The aura revived and a tidal wave of spiritual energy blew in. The royal family of the Empire was inevitably affected by the invasion and influence of the myth.
Especially her!
In a sense, she could be considered a living phoenix.
Unfortunately…
The concentration of spirit aura tides was too low.
She was the same as her ancestors, she could only be considered a phoenix in incubation.
Unless her concentration of aura rose to a certain level, she would always be considered only a mortal.
Even so, when facing Li Rou’an, not many people could face her aura without changing their expressions.
Li Rou’an looked at Qing Keqing, who was shivering in the video.
She suddenly laughed. “Do as I say!”
She gently twirled her hair.
“I want to see if there’s anyone in this world who dares to pursue me.”
Qing Keqing lowered her head. “Yes!”
But in her heart, she couldn’t help but ridicule, “Who dares to pursue you?!”
The Eldest Princess Li Rou’an.
The nightmare of every man in the entire Imperial City!
This Highness had displayed an extremely strong personality since she was young.
After the late emperor passed away, she had carried the weight of supporting the imperial family.
She made a bold and decisive reform of the imperial family’s institutions.
She eliminated over a thousand officials who hadn’t done anything and confiscated several thousand honorary titles in one breath.
Following that, she visited Nanzhou, Beizhou and Xisong.
Wherever she went, she would give speeches, causing the people to cheer.
She had once again successfully made the royal family become the bond and cornerstone that united the Federal Empire.
Naturally, someone had pursued her before.
After all, she was the Eldest Princess!
Marrying her was a bonus!
However…
All of the suitors felt ashamed in front of her, and they even felt that they had no chance at all.
Since then, all kinds of legends had appeared.
The Eldest Princess had three thousand handsome guys under her skirt.
There was even a saying that the Eldest Princess was like Empress Lu Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian.
In short, it was slander.
After turning off the communication device, Li Rou’an slowly smiled.
She was proud.
It was precisely because of her pride that she was curious.
“Can I change his mind?”
Thinking of this, Li Rou’an smiled.
This was really an interesting thing.
No matter what the result was, she had earned it!
… … …
Holding a pile of registered documents, Li An’an walked to a corner of the hall with a smile and sat down.
Then, she sorted out the photos of the princesses, picked up her phone, opened her messages and sent them over.
But behind her, a huge photo was hanging down from upstairs.
She was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown.
She was elegant, beautiful and confident, just like a queen. The photo of her looking down at others slowly revealed itself.
Instantly, countless people raised their heads and took a deep breath.
“The Eldest Princess!”
They exclaimed, “Could it be that the Eldest Princess also wants to find a prince consort in this get-together party?”
But it was just a photo.
There was no instruction or explanation from the other staff members.
There were no words on the photo either.
Only the Eldest Princess stood in the main hall, looking down at the entire world domineeringly.
… … …
Ling Ping’an was having a great time.
Suddenly, a continuous message notification came from his phone.
The sender was his aunt.
Scratching his head, Ling Ping’an clicked on the messages to take a look.
Damn it, more than a dozen photos flooded the screen.
Looking at these photos, Ling Ping’an didn’t quite understand what his aunt meant by sending these things?
So, he simply typed a question mark.
… …
Li An’an heard the exclamation and turned back to look.
The elegant and beautiful Eldest Princess, who was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, was reflected in front of her eyes.
Li An’an was stunned by what she saw.
At this moment…
She only had one thought in her mind, “A man should like this!”
In fact, there were even more presumptuous thoughts stirring in her mind.
“I can replace him!”
Shaking her head, Li An’an woke up, “What am I doing?”
“I’m not Chu Han now, and I’m not Xiang Yu or Liu Bang…”
However…
The Eldest Princess!
She was the Eldest Princess!
The role model for all the women in the world.
The representative of an independent woman.
The most powerful woman in the world!
She was also the woman she had admired for a long time.
“Maybe…” Li An’an thought, “I can use little Ping’an’s identity to travel with Her Highness, the Eldest Princess!”
Her Highness, the Eldest Princess was her idol!
Many women in the Blackguard regarded Her Highness as their idol.
Someone they could learn and imitate.
The mentality was similar to that of a fan.
So…
Li An’an’s heart pounded.
For fans, being able to talk to their idol or even sit together and drink wine was their ultimate dream!
So, she stood up.
She couldn’t help but walk to the handrail and look at the huge picture of the Eldest Princess. She was a little fascinated.
So much so that she didn’t even hear the message from her own phone.
