Zang Li was happy that the tutorial mode loaded because now he easily figured out how to load the options for the soldiers. He could easily command the soldiers to march after him and follow in line with him if he selected the [follow] option.
He finagled with his storage ring and took out the best level one armor he had, which was known as the phoenix rising armor. It was fitting because he was in control of Brashland Kingdom right now.
First thing he had to do was go and get his first wife and make sure she was on board, and then he could think about developing some weapons with the manuals he got from the tomb.
He walked up to the smaller castle that was a few meters away from his gigantic castle, which was occluding his view of the beautiful scenery on the mountain. He walked up past the guards after choosing the [follow] option on them as well.
There was nothing better than seeing the faces of some of the bastards who used to pass by him when he begged for money being forced to follow him. He had them lead the way to the throne room where the 'empress' of Brashland was currently making plans to protect the kingdom.
He walked over to her with his soldiers as she focused intently on drawing up a map that was supposed to help her protect the land. However, before she even got halfway she felt a cold hand touching against the side of her face.
"Sorry, Alia… I have a present for you that requires I interrupt your focus… Here, it's your marriage contract, so you can become my queen…" Zang Li dripped a droplet of blood on the document as Alia turned around and got a look at his face.
She reached to try and stop the droplet of blood from falling on the document, but before her hand could get there it turned the page red, which caused a set of chains to come out of the document.
[Zang Li has formally married Alia]
[She is now the queen of Brashland Kingdom!]
Zang Li smiled and looked at the pretty black hair and gorgeous eyes on Alia as she stepped back and fell down onto the floor, reaching for her dagger as she looked up in shock.
She didn't think the supreme emperor would give away her contract so easily to a man that looked like a handsome beggar that had somehow gotten a nice cloak and set of regal armor to wear. She was overall extremely confused, but that didn't stop the spell of their marriage going into full effect.
[Aria Li is beginning to fall in love with you]
[Affection + 5]
Zang Li smiled and walked over to her to help her up before a dagger slashed at his neck, finding himself bleeding as Alia looked up at him with raging eyes. If a wife had eyes that could kill, well Alia had eyes that would burn you in hell.
She got up and reached for the contract as Zang Li smiled and nimbly dodged around the room like a graceful husband that just got his first wife.
"You… you can't just force me to marry you! Damn it! I'm an independent woman… How dare you tear that contract in front of me, and force me to fall in love with you!"
"Please… please annul it so I can get back to work! We're going to be attacked at the rise of the sun… Do you know how many people will die if I don't do my part to protect them…"
"Hmmm, you're right… I don't think you should see the sun for a while… Guys… what do you think?"
"They are my guards! Ugh, please… please don't force me to do anything I don't want! If you do, I'll kill myself, and then you'll never get what you want! Do you hear me, Zang Li… Don't make me end my life, and give me a chance to save yours…"
Zang Li already liked this woman's personality and the intelligence she was emitting form her warm eyes, which went beautifully with her thin pale legs. He was so lucky that he'd gotten contracts for twenty more women like this in the tomb of the emperor…
"Alia… Don't worry… I happened to take every single item that was in the emperor's tomb, and will put it to good use… That old bat will be stuck in closed door cultivation for years and years anyway… Might as well take over the world while he's canoodling with his dao partner…"
"You? You what? How did you get in past the gaurds… That's impossible? Shouldn't the guards have stopped you and killed you on the spot? You can't be a thief that's mastered hundreds of divine skills can you?"
Zang Li showed her the key and smiled as she face palmed her head. The emperor was always an idiot that only cared about cultivating and never cared about the people who were in his kingdoms… He probably would even smile when he heard that Zang Li literally took over the entire world as long as he got to cultivate…
The fool literally had inadvertently started a war a few hundred thousand years ago and now all the dynasties were constantly fighting as he tried to get to the god realm. However, the worst part was she was now literally part of Zang Li's… That contract made it impossible for her to break out unless a miracle happened…
"Zang Li… How about this? You rip up that contact, and I'll get you 10 of the most beautiful women you ever wanted in the---"
"Nope, you're perfect… I'll name you baby…" Zang Li seriously didn't understand relationships, but gave her a thumbs up nonetheless as he looked down at her war map…
"So, anyways, this looks pretty bad… We're going to get attacked from two sides, huh? Which side should I sick our golden dragon on, and which side should I use this dao bomb on?"
"How… how many things did you take form the tomb exactly?" Alia gulped as she looked at the man as her heart began to palpitate…
[Affection + 5]
"Damn it! Tell me… tell me what you have and divorce me already!"
"Sorry, I'm too stupid to give up someone so beautiful…" Zang Li patted her on the shoulder as her body began to grow hot from anger and a whole host of other emotions… "However, in exchange for you being my first wife, I'll save your kingdom which is actually now my kingdom…"
"I… I guess I'll take that deal as long as you promise not to force me to do anything…" Alia said as she bit her lips, considering her options and the thoughts she was thinking just a second before Zang Li showed up… Since the supreme emperor had come out of cultivation for the first time in a thousand years, shit was about to get literally crazy because it meant he'd be going back in cultivation for even longer!
He'd went to get a single treasure in his tomb to use to try and reach the god realm, and because of that tomorrow she was pretty certain she'd be at the mercy of whatever king took over her land.
Perhaps this wasn't so bad?
"So, you going to keep staring at me, or are you going to tell me who I should dao bomb first?"
Suddenly, she was once again pretty sure this was bad as her heart began to throb… In probably less than 10 days, she'd be forced to completely fall in love with this man!
