Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Is Your Majesty going to kill me?

“Bai Yu’s statements are not wicked, but rather the truth! It embodies the essence of the path to kingship!”

“Would you prefer kindness, even for princes and generals?”

“Because what Bai Yu says can elevate anyone to a high throne, ruling a vast kingdom.”

“The authority of rulers doesn’t come from divine providence but from human actions!”

“If Bai Yu’s ideas spread, it will lead to widespread chaos, and the people will revolt!”

“So, Your Majesty…”

“You’re afraid!”

“Right?”

“Boom!”

The young man’s whispers were like a mesmerising melody, reaching the mind through the ears.

Bursting like fireworks. Effortlessly, he penetrated the depths of the soul.

“Bold!”

“The world is mine!”

“Am I supposed to fear you?!”

After years of cultivating energy, his emotions remained concealed. But, Lan Su was easily defeated by the overly audacious scholar. Wide-eyed and flushed, he slammed the table and shouted. Just a few words effortlessly revealed his inner thoughts.

This young man is terrifying!

For a king, this is too perilous.

A king cannot let anyone easily discern his heart.

Yet, this young man, seen for the first time today, spoke only a few words and was completely unknown.

But it has come to this. He had never encountered someone so ordinary.

“Shut up!”

With the emperor’s roar, drawing knives echoed in the palace. Knife glints flickered in Bai Yu’s eyes. The emperor’s living and working place was the safest and most dangerous in the world.

Countless hidden guards lurked in the shadows. They would emerge at the emperor’s command, turning Bai Yu into mincemeat.

Oops, so scary!

Will Sister Long save me?

“Is Your Majesty going to kill me?”

During the crisis, Bai Yu remained remarkably calm.

“Do you think I dare not kill you?” The furious emperor retorted, aware that disposing of a mere scholar shouldn’t be too challenging.

Yet, facing Bai Yu’s gaze, Lan Su felt an unsettling unease. Would this brilliant and somewhat eerie young talent not realise the impending threat?

He knew what Bai Yu wrote posed a potential threat, even though it could be a perfect test paper without causing fear.

Bai Yu was fully aware of the situation. Some things need not be said. However, he deliberately included statements about imperial mastery over the people, capturing the emperor’s attention.

“You can,” the emperor conceded, but Bai Yu calmly questioned, “Your Majesty, are you sure you want to become an enemy of Bai Yu and close this path?”

Amidst the glint of blades and the emperor’s fury, Bai Yu touched his chest confidently, stating, “You can’t kill me! And you will lose a minister born in this land, leaving a lasting legacy!”

Pointing to himself, Bai Yu proclaimed his place in history with pride and arrogance, shocking Lan Su again.

“Boom!”

The spiritual platform vibrated, a breeze stirred, and Lan Su stared at Bai Yu in awe. An indescribable power emanated from him, making him realise that this young man was extraordinary.

Asking the final question, the emperor said, “Who are you?”
