Mai Kitsune Waifu

Chapter 1141 - Discussing Achievements and Rewards



Taibai Jinxing hesitated.

Liu Yi spoke politely, “Taibai, I... When I first took control of the Heavenly Court, there were many things I still needed to consult with you and the Old Master. If you have anything to say, just speak your mind without worries.”

“Very well... Your Majesty, then I’ll be frank.”

Seeing that Liu Yi had taken the Heavenly Court without arrogance and still maintaining a humble attitude, Taibai Jinxing felt relieved and continued, “The slavery system has existed in the Immortal Realm for tens of millions of years, and it has become the foundation of the Immortal Realm. If we abolish it recklessly, I fear it may cause great turmoil in the Immortal Realm. At that time, I don’t know how many great families’ interests will be shaken, and these great families might join forces to confront the Heavenly Court! The new Heavenly Court has just been established, and its position is probably not yet stable.”

“That’s what Taibai is worried about.”

Liu Yi said, “With a loyal minister like Taibai, my position is much more secure. However, Taibai, there is one matter I would like to consult with you.”

“Your Majesty, please do not hesitate to ask. I will share all my knowledge without reservation!”

Liu Yi nodded and continued, “Very well, Taibai, let me ask you, having been in the Immortal Realm for so many years, do you think the slavery system is reasonable?”

Taibai furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment, “It may be somewhat barbaric, but it has existed for tens of millions of years, and there must be a reason for its existence.”

“You’re right, but as you also said, it is barbaric in nature.”

Liu Yi said, “Indeed, the Immortal Realm is a place where the strong are respected, but that doesn’t mean those without power are treated like ants. Moreover, many people have strength, but simply because their bloodlines are impure, they can only live like pigs and dogs. I don’t like it. The Immortal Realm I govern should not be like this. In my opinion, the Immortal Realm should be a paradise transcending the six realms. The relationship between people here should at least be equal. The destiny of every individual should be cherished.”

“What about the great families...”

Taibai Jinxing couldn’t help but ask, “I’m afraid they won’t be willing...”

“The Yang family of the Dong Sheng Shen Continent has already fallen.”

Liu Yi said, “I have decided to support the Luo family of Dragon Immortal Town to become the first family of the Dong Sheng Shen Continent.”

“What about the other three continents?”

Taibai Jinxing asked.

“Don’t worry about that, Taibai. Summon the heads of these three major families to the Heavenly Court.”

The Heavenly Court possessed the Ascending Sky technique, making it easy to bring people up.

“Understood.”

Taibai gave the order, and soon, a guard led Sima Tian and the others into the main hall.

Seeing the shattered hall and Liu Yi sitting on the Dragon Throne, Sima Tian immediately gave a thumbs up.

“Amazing! I never thought the Jade Emperor’s position would actually change hands!”

“Pay your respects to the Heavenly Emperor!”

Taibai Jinxing’s position was somewhat like the chief steward of the Heavenly Court, and he called out to Sima Tian and the others.

“Come.”

Sima Tian led the remaining two people, walked up to Liu Yi, and knelt down.

Liu Yi glanced at them, among the three people, there was his nominal father-in-law, and another man and woman. Luo Cheng was also brought over, kneeling on the other side.

“Rise, all of you.”

Liu Yi said, “My Heavenly Court has just been established, and I will need your help.”

“Of course.”

Sima Tian smiled, “We will firmly uphold Your Majesty’s rule!”

“Very well.”

Liu Yi nodded, “However, I have something to say. I have decided to abolish the slavery system. Do you support this?”

“Ah?”

The heads of the great families exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.

“Your Majesty!”

The woman spoke up, “This humble immortal is the head of the Shangguan family from Bei Ju Lu Continent. I have something to say.”

“Please speak.”

“Your Majesty, the slavery system is the foundation of our great families... If it were to be abolished, I’m afraid it would harm the vitality of our great families...”

Liu Yi laughed, “You mean it would reduce your largest source of income.”

“Not hiding it... Indeed, that’s the case...”

The heads of the families nodded together.

“Restoring the slaves to commoner status may reduce a significant profit, but it doesn’t mean you’ll all go bankrupt.”

Liu Yi said, “Changing from the slavery system to an employment system, you’ll find that your income will gradually increase.”

This was progress, not regression.

“Well...”

“Rest assured, I won’t let you support me in vain.”

Liu Yi said, “I will enroll you in the immortal register in the Heavenly Court, and from then on, you four will be officials of the Heavenly Court.”

Upon hearing this, the four of them exchanged glances.

Receiving titles and being added to the immortal register... This was something the previous Jade Emperor had never given!

It was important to know that these great families already had a lot of money, and what they pursued next was power!

Liu Yi’s move was somewhat similar to the enfeoffment of vassal lords, and the people from the great families were all tempted.

“Fine, I am definitely following Your Majesty anyway.”

Luo Cheng was originally the head of a small family, but since Liu Yi became the Heavenly Emperor, he followed Liu Yi to prominence, instantly dominating the Dong Sheng Shen Continent.

He knew that only by following Liu Yi could he enjoy a prosperous life, so he would never oppose Liu Yi.

“I also support Your Majesty’s decision!”

Sima Tian also submitted, after all, it was his own son-in-law, and he wouldn’t let him suffer.

The heads of the other two great families exchanged glances, and then knelt down again.

“We swear to follow Your Majesty to the death!”

“Very well.”

Liu Yi nodded in satisfaction, “Having your support is a blessing for my Heavenly Court!”

Taibai Jinxing never expected that Liu Yi could truly persuade these great families. With their support, the lesser families below would no longer pose a problem.

It seemed that the slavery system was indeed going to be abolished. The Immortal Realm was about to welcome a brand new revolution!

“Very well, is there anyone who opposes this first immortal decree?”

Liu Yi asked.

“We support Your Majesty!”

Everyone unanimously agreed.

“Good, then I will announce the second immortal decree.”

As the saying goes, a new official must set three fires upon taking office, and Liu Yi began to ignite the second.

“From now on, the Immortal Realm will abolish the ban on flying.”

“Your Majesty! Please reconsider!”

This time, it was the turn of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord to offer advice, “The ban on flying is a protective measure for the Heavenly Court. Abolishing it hastily may be detrimental to our Heavenly Court!”

“Supreme Elder, I have a different opinion.”

Liu Yi smiled, “If the Heavenly Court needs such measures to protect itself, then there is no point in establishing our Heavenly Court. I believe that the strength of the Heavenly Court is enough to withstand external invasions. Wasn’t the ban on flying in place before? Yet, I still managed to overthrow the royal authority.”

The immortals nodded, finding the reasoning sound.

“Therefore, there is no need for the ban on flying. Instead, it makes our Heavenly Court appear weak, which I don’t like.”

Liu Yi declared loudly, “From now on, the gates of the Heavenly Court will be wide open. Whoever wishes to challenge us, we welcome them!”

Upon hearing Liu Yi’s words, his heroic spirit soared. Even Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had no objections.

“Your Majesty, are there any other immortal decrees?”

Taibai Jinxing inquired.

“Of course.”

Liu Yi smiled, “Next, it’s time for rewards based on merit.”

Everyone’s spirits were shaken, the key point had finally arrived!

“Chen Cai...”

“I’m here!”

Chen Cai stepped forward, the giant ‘staff’ beneath him swaying back and forth.

Liu Yi covered his forehead, couldn’t this guy change back?

“Your Majesty, what title are you going to give me?”

“I shall bestow upon you... the title of True Lord Divine Bird...”

“Great, thank you, boss... I mean, thank you, Your Majesty!”

Chen Cai was extremely excited, shaking his “Divine Bird” and even twisting it a few times.

The immortals all wore a dark expression, unable to look directly at this True Lord Divine Bird.

“Sima Rou, for your merit in protecting your master, I bestow upon you the title of True Lord Divine Fire.”

Liu Yi continued the enfeoffment, “Luo Xiaoxiao, for your merit in protecting your master, I bestow upon you the title of True Lord Guardian. Ye Hanshuang, for your merit in protecting your master, I bestow upon you the title of True Lord Asura!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The few people simultaneously bowed to Liu Yi. Liu Yi looked at the people from the four great families and smiled, “The heads of the four great families, from now on, you shall hold the positions of East, West, South, and North Heavenly Officials. You will preside over the life and death of the four continents, directly under my management and responsible to me.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The heads of the families were all excited. The rewards from this enfeoffment were not small! As expected, following Liu Yi meant there was meat to be eaten.

“From now on, with the establishment of the new Heavenly Court, I hope everyone can unite and work together to fight against external enemies.”

As Liu Yi spoke, his gaze fell on Taibai Jinxing, “Taibai, from now on, you shall be the Chief Steward of the Heavenly Court. When I am not around, the Heavenly Court will be directly under your charge.”

“Your Majesty... this...”

“It’s settled.”

Liu Yi waved his hand.

“Your Majesty... what about the Mistress of the Guanghan Palace?”

Taibai Jinxing suddenly asked.

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment.

“Your Majesty?”

“I shall personally visit Guanghan Palace first.”

Liu Yi sighed. As for Chang’e, he hadn’t really figured out how to deal with her.

“Everyone else, attend to your duties. This great hall should be restored as soon as possible.”

As Liu Yi spoke, he stepped down from the dragon throne and walked towards the outside.

No one dared to stop him, and they began to attend to their own affairs.

In the Guanghan Palace, a maid ran in and spoke to Chang’e, who was sitting on a reed mat.

“Chang’e Immortal, Chang’e Immortal!”

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing her maid so panicked, Chang’e couldn’t help but frown.

“Chang’e Immortal... the Jade Emperor... the Jade Emperor has fallen from power...”

The maid said.

“What?”

Chang’e was startled for a moment but quickly calmed down, “I knew it would happen sooner or later. Who is now in charge of the Heavenly Court?”

“It’s Liu Yi, the new Heavenly Emperor!”

The maid’s answer did not exceed Chang’e’s expectations, “Immortal, your good days have finally arrived.”

“Hehe...”

Unexpectedly, Chang’e let out a bitter smile.

“Immortal, why do you laugh so bitterly?”

The maid couldn’t help but be puzzled, “Liu Yi, whom you’ve always supported, has become the master of the Heavenly Court! I think you will certainly become the new Queen Mother!”

“If things were really that simple, it would be great.”

Chang’e’s face still bore a bitter smile, “I’m afraid, this person must hate me to death now.”

As they spoke, a maid outside announced loudly, “The Heavenly Emperor has arrived!”
