Establishing an empire...
This isn't something that can be achieved with just words.
Su Bai looked at the silent crowd below and smiled, saying, "Where is Tang Yuehua?"
Tang Yuehua stood up confidently and said loudly, "I'm here!"
Su Bai waved his hand grandly. "From this moment, send out notices to all surrounding forces: the Dragon God Empire is now established, with the Heaven Dou territory as a vassal and the Dragon God Palace as its foundation."
"Yes!" Tang Yuehua responded before returning to her place.
Su Bai then took out Emperor Xue Ye's will. "With the establishment of the Dragon God Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire will become a vassal state of the Dragon God Empire."
Only then did some people recall that Emperor Xue Ye had mentioned in his will that the Heaven Dou Empire would join the Dragon God Empire, a then-unknown entity.
"Is this mysterious super empire actually our own?"
Seeing the crowd starting to buzz with excitement, Su Bai continued with a faint smile. "Thus, the territory of our Dragon God Empire now includes both the original influence of the Dragon God Palace and the entire Heaven Dou Empire!"
"So powerful..."
The commotion below grew louder as they realized the burgeoning strength of the Dragon God Empire.
However, Su Bai's next words sent the crowd into a frenzy.
"From today onwards, follow me and the Dragon God Empire as we begin unifying the continent!"
...
In the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was resting alone on a rocking chair under a banyan tree by the pond.
Relaxing leisurely, she had no idea what was about to happen.
Just as she was about to doze off, a pair of warm lips covered her own.
Bibi Dong, initially startled, was about to ask who dared to take such liberties with her. However, the familiar scent immediately brought back memories.
"Mmm?"
Bibi Dong opened her eyes and saw the face she had been longing for day and night.
"Su Bai!" Bibi Dong's eyes widened, and she immediately wrapped her arms around Su Bai's waist, standing up to kiss him passionately under the banyan tree.
Even Bibi Dong felt Su Bai's hands roaming over her body.
"It's been a while, Bibi Dong." Su Bai whispered, nibbling on her ear.
"Ah~~" Bibi Dong, unused to such stimulation for a long time, let out a moan.
"Long time no see, still so sensitive," Su Bai chuckled.
To his surprise, Bibi Dong gripped him tightly, threateningly. "And whose fault is it for not coming to see me for so long?"
Su Bai tensed up, then laughed helplessly. "I've had many things to handle, like being extremely busy right now."
"If you're so busy, how do you have time to visit me today?" Bibi Dong asked.
Not wanting to remain at her mercy, Su Bai twisted away slightly. "You're still as sharp as ever."
Bibi Dong smirked, "Of course."
She continued, "So, what's the occasion? You're not here for no reason, are you?"
"Come on, I always have reasons," Su Bai laughed. "I've established the Dragon God Empire."
"Established an empire???" Bibi Dong was stunned, then quickly recalled Emperor Xue Ye's will mentioning the then-nonexistent Dragon God Empire.
"So it was you who established it..." Bibi Dong felt everything fall into place.
"Now that the Dragon God Empire is established, my next plan is to expand our territory and conquer the world," Su Bai said, gently stroking Bibi Dong's face. "At that point, our Dragon God Empire and your Spirit Hall will inevitably clash."
Bibi Dong fell silent. Indeed, with the Dragon God Empire entering the fray, conflicts with the Spirit Hall would only intensify.
If she remained in the Spirit Hall, things would become increasingly difficult for her, potentially exploited by those with ulterior motives, like Qian Daoliu.
After a moment of thought, Bibi Dong understood Su Bai's intentions. "You want me to make a choice?"
Su Bai shrugged, "I'm just presenting the facts. How you choose is up to you."
"But I want you to know, no matter what you choose, it won't affect our relationship," Su Bai said sincerely.
Moved by Su Bai's honesty, Bibi Dong responded, "Since you've established the Dragon God Empire, how can you conquer the world without me by your side?"
Bibi Dong smiled beautifully. "I'll bring those willing to follow me and leave the Spirit Hall. We'll join the Dragon God Empire together."
Su Bai grinned happily. "That would be the best outcome."
The two shared a knowing smile.
"But I must say," Su Bai raised a finger, "I initially only expected you to come with me."
"What, I can't bring others?" Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Su Bai. "I can't leave those loyal to me here to be mistreated."
Su Bai shook his head with a laugh. "You misunderstood. I meant that taking you with me was the minimum. If you can bring others too, that's a bonus."
Bibi Dong chuckled, "You always know what to say."
As it was getting late, it wasn't a good time to contact those people, so Su Bai decided to stay in Bibi Dong's room for the night.
However, later that night, Bibi Dong slipped out briefly while Su Bai wasn't paying attention.
When she returned, her face had a noticeable blush like that of a shy bride.
"What's up?" Su Bai asked with a smile.
Bibi Dong licked her dry lips with her tongue, "You've neglected me for so long. Do you think I'll let you off tonight?"
With that, Bibi Dong pounced on Su Bai like a hungry wolf.
Under Bibi Dong's fiery kisses, Su Bai felt his body heat up. It had indeed been a long time since he last saw Bibi Dong, and guilt crept into his heart.
Feeling he should be more proactive, Su Bai gently pushed Bibi Dong away and flipped her over.
Bibi Dong looked at Su Bai with confused, hazy eyes.
Without a word, Su Bai tore her clothes off, revealing...
"Huh? What the..."
Su Bai froze.
Underneath her regular clothes, Bibi Dong wore a black lace lingerie set.
The sight of the tantalizing lingerie and the black silk stockings covering her legs was mesmerizing.
Bibi Dong giggled seductively, lifting her leg to trace circles on Su Bai's chest with her toe. "How do you like this outfit?"
Su Bai swallowed hard, finding the scene overly stimulating.
"So, your outer clothes were just for me to tear off?" Su Bai realized.
Bibi Dong laughed, "Don't I know you well?"
"Come on, let's have fun."
Unable to hold back any longer, Su Bai tore off the black silk and began their journey of pleasure.
