What should one do after a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm?
For Zhou Fan, the most important thing about the Heavenly Human Realm was not its almost invincible power in the Fan Realm.
The most important thing was that after his cultivation Breakthrough to beyond Innate, Zhou Fan finally had the ability to break Yaya's bottom line.
Recalling Yaya's adorable appearance, how she always used both her hands and feet to relieve Zhou Fan's heat, Zhou Fan's Nine Yang Body immediately felt a little warm.
After quickly interrogating the Great Eunuch Wubeile and the Great Grandmaster Jiang Qianyous, Zhou Fan had a detailed understanding of the current situation within the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Great Qian Dynasty truly lived up to its reputation as a colossal entity that had stood firm in this Fan Realm for a thousand years; even with the decline of Martial Dao in recent centuries, there were still four Innate Grandmasters serving the Great Qian Dynasty.
One should know, according to what the Great Grandmaster understood, the entire hidden Jianghu only had three Innate Grandmasters still alive.
The Great Qian Dynasty alone had more Innate Grandmasters than the entire hidden Jianghu, which was also why the Jiang Family of the Great Qian Dynasty could still firmly hold the throne.
Moreover, it was rumored that there was a grand formation within the Great Qian Dynasty that could trap those above Innate, but the Great Grandmaster Jiang Qianyous did not know where the formation's core was located.
Within the Great Qian Dynasty, only the emperor of each generation should know the location of this secret formation's core and possess the switch for the formation.
As for why they wanted to eliminate the Kang Wang Residence, both of them only knew that it was the emperor Jiang Wudao's command.
And the reason they knew that Zhou Fan, the son-in-law of Kang Wang Residence, was Innate, was naturally because the Son of Destiny Ye Fan went to inform them.
How laughable Ye Fan was, still wanting to use the power of the Great Qian Dynasty to eliminate Zhou Fan; he was truly foolish beyond measure.
As long as the news of the complete annihilation of the imperial envoys today reached the Imperial Capital, the first one the Jiang Family would eliminate would be Ye Fan.
It seemed that this Son of Destiny, Ye Fan, had almost been exploited dry by him.
If he still had some brains, the next time he appeared before him, he should already be at the Innate or above Innate Realm, and then killing him should yield all his Luck value.
Anyway, with Mengli's desire seed planted, Zhou Fan was not afraid of what kind of trouble that eunuch Ye Fan, who only possessed the most useless Protagonist Halo, could stir up.
The most valuable intelligence from the Great Eunuch Wubeile and the Great Grandmaster Jiang Qianyous, in Zhou Fan's eyes, was the sudden change in the emperor Jiang Wudao.
The previous emperor Jiang Wudao indulged in daily debauchery, neglecting court affairs, which led to his power gradually being hollowed out; there were even rumors in the palace that Jiang Wudao was a eunuch from birth and impotent.
The previous Jiang Wudao was furious upon hearing these rumors and used the nation's resources to select consorts.
But after selecting the consorts, although Jiang Wudao had three thousand beauties in his harem, no news of an heir's birth was ever heard.
Many people in the court gradually grew dissatisfied with this useless emperor; a year ago, they even colluded to jointly depose the emperor and enthrone Jiang Wudao's brother as the new emperor.
But the change happened a year ago; the useless emperor Jiang Wudao seemed to suddenly awaken, and his abilities and tactics suddenly improved significantly.
Not only did his temperament change drastically, from being easily irritable and angry to being able to hide his emotions.
The useless emperor Jiang Wudao also abandoned his former laziness; starting a year ago, he attended morning court every day and has not missed a single day since.
Most importantly, Jiang Wudao actually implemented many policies in morning court that benefited the people and also protected the interests of the nobles.
Not long ago, Jiang Wudao even began to prepare his military, ready to conquer the barbarian tribes surrounding the Great Qian Dynasty.
The court officials were initially opposed, but as Jiang Wudao truly proposed effective strategies one by one, and also depicted the vast wealth that could be obtained after conquering the foreign tribes.
All the court officials were tempted, but Jiang Wudao still faced a huge obstacle to sending troops, which was the General Zhenyuan, whose cultivation had reached the Peak of Martial Dao Grandmaster, in the court.
The court officials originally thought that Jiang Wudao would try to persuade him with reason and emotion, but they never expected that a few days ago, Jiang Wudao would openly challenge General Zhenyuan to a martial arts duel.
Under circumstances where everyone was pessimistic, Jiang Wudao, with a cultivation at the same Peak of Martial Dao Grandmaster, honorably defeated General Zhenyuan on the arena.
General Zhenyuan was convinced, and all the court officials praised Jiang Wudao as having the signs of a wise ruler, who would surely leave his name in history and become a lord of revival.
If there was one flaw Jiang Wudao had now, it was that he still had no heir.
However, news had already spread in the court that Jiang Wudao would once again select consorts after conquering the four barbarian tribes.
This time, everyone believed that within a year, the Great Qian Dynasty would surely have a Crown Prince born.
Simply because Jiang Wudao indeed possessed a magical power that could turn the impossible into possible.
...
After extracting the valid information from their words, Zhou Fan sent the Great Eunuch Wubeile and the Great Grandmaster Jiang Qianyous on their way.
"Jiang Wudao..." Zhou Fan murmured with interest, "Heh, the fresh leek has finally arrived."
After briefly contemplating his initial strategy, Zhou Fan felt it was necessary for him to make a trip to the capital.
However, before that, Zhou Fan decided to properly reward himself first.
After all, using the 'big head' too much is not good for the development of the 'small head'.
Instructing Mengli to clean up the two bodies, Zhou Fan impatiently walked towards the inner courtyard where Yaya was.
As soon as he pushed open the courtyard gate, Zhou Fan saw Yaya sitting on a stool in the small courtyard, concentrating on her lollipop.
Not long after, Yaya tore open the lollipop wrapper and then happily took a bite.
Feeling the sweet and sour taste of the apple-flavored lollipop, Yaya narrowed her eyes in bliss.
Her two cute little chubby legs also swayed happily at this moment, showing her owner's joyful mood.
Just as Yaya was immersed in the joy of secretly eating her lollipop, Zhou Fan's faint voice suddenly appeared from behind her.
"Yaya, haven't you already eaten your one lollipop for today? Why are you secretly eating candy behind my back again?"
Yaya was startled when she heard Zhou Fan's voice suddenly come from behind her.
She quickly stuffed the entire lollipop into her cherry-like mouth.
"Mm... I, I didn't..."
Because her mouth was stuffed with a lollipop, Yaya's speech was a bit slurred.
Zhou Fan walked to Yaya's side with a mischievous smile and squatted down, "Didn't? Then what are you eating in your mouth?"
Yaya shook her little head like a rattle-drum, "Th-this isn't a lollipop..."
"I don't believe it, let me see." Zhou Fan said, reaching out his hand towards Yaya's bulging cheeks.
Yaya tightly closed her mouth, covering it with her small hands, refusing to let Zhou Fan see.
"Oh, Yaya, now you're even lying, huh?" Zhou Fan stood up, pretending to be angry.
Zhou Fan's face was stern, looking very angry.
Yaya saw that Zhou Fan seemed truly angry, tears welled up in her eyes, and she quickly took the sparkling lollipop out of her mouth, saying tearfully, "Husband, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
Zhou Fan's heart softened when he saw Yaya was really about to cry, but he still pretended to be angry and said.
"No, not unless Yaya, you promise me..."
Listening to the shameful words Zhou Fan whispered into her ear, Yaya's face immediately turned red.
However, to appease Zhou Fan's anger, Yaya could only say with reddened ears.
"Husband, Yaya promises you~"
