The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 150: Li Qiao's announcement

"Master, I thought you'd be more happy seeing him."

Pulling the curtains inside the carriage aside, Wuying looked out of the window towards where the banquet hall.

"I am. But that isn't the right place to show my affection."

Tilting her head curiously, Wei Yan asked, "Is it because he was flirting with those other women?"

Shaking her head while chuckling, Wuying said, "I had long since guessed that such things would happen. It's just with those assassins around me, I don't want to implicate Jian Shen more than I already have."

Bowing her head deeply with self depression, Wei Yan clenched her fists hard.

"This is all because I'm too weak to defeat them, Master."

Rubbing Wei Yan's head with her hand, Wuying said, "I don't blame you, Wei Yan. It's not as if they are going to attack us anyway."

"And, I'm sure that once I explain our situation to Jian Shen, he will definitely have some plan on how to deal with them tomorrow."

...

While Jian Shen went back to flirting with the five girls, his thoughts, however, were completely filled with Wuying who had just left.

Even though she gave him an address and asked him to meet her tomorrow, he couldn't help but want to spend the night with her.

The five girls had also noticed this, but none of them cared too much about it and felt that it was fine as long as Jian Shen was near them.

After all, even though they hoped to be in a relationship with Jian Shen, they wouldn't mind settling for one night of hot and steamy sex.

And who knows, maybe that would make Jian Shen care for them?

With such thoughts, the five girls nodded their heads in union and flirted even more openly with Jian Shen dropping hints of wanting to have sex with him.

Still, even though Jian Shen understood their intentions, and this was what he originally intended to do after he flirted with them, his mind was too occupied with Wuying to think about anything else.

That was when Jian Shen sensed a massive disturbance in Qi around him.

Narrowing his eyes and turning in the direction of where the disturbance was coming from, Jian Shen saw the cultivator who was the cause of it.

"Li Qiao."

Listening to Jian Shen's words, the five women also looked in the direction he was seeing and saw the Yueliang Empire's Emperor walking towards the banquet hall.

"Father... Why is...!"

With her eyes turning wide from realizing what her father intended to do, one of the five girls began tugging on Jian Shen's robes.

"Jian Shen, let's go... "

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Gritting her teeth since she didn't want to say the reason, the girl hesitated for so long that Li Qiao and the woman who was walking beside him had already entered the banquet hall.

Walking to the centre of the banquet hall, Li Qiao snapped his fingers which sent a wave of Qi outwards from his body at the centre of it.

As the wave of Qi passed by them, everyone turned silent and patiently waited for Li Qiao to speak.

Jian Shen, on the other hand, didn't let the wave of Qi push him a little back like everyone else, and used the Sword of Despair to split it and make go around him.

Seeing this, Li Qiao didn't feel offended and instead nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Once everyone turned silent, Li Qiao began speaking.

"I'm honoured that all of you have given me face by attending this banquet I've held."

"War is coming, and it will be a... "

Blah... Blah... Blah...

Li Qiao kept on speaking for so long, what Jian Shen was tempted to leave the banquet hall many times. But each time he had such thoughts, he would look towards the veiled woman and stop.

As a male who appreciated beautiful women, Jian Shen could despite not seeing the veiled woman's face tell that she was a beauty.

Due to this, he was very curious about why she had appeared alongside Li Qiao, and why one of the Yueliang Empire's princess had turned anxious after seeing her.

Speaking for quite a long time about how the Taiyang Empire was evil, and only by destroying could real peace be brought to the Wu Yun Continent, Li Qiao finally started speaking about the woman beside him.

"This beautiful girl is, Li Suyin, my daughter whom I care for the most."

Hearing those words Jian Shen felt even more curious, while the princess in the group of five clenched her fist harder.

"I know that what I'm doing next night seem quite orthodox, but I truly don't know how else I can show my sincerity and thanks towards all of you young ones who have come here."

"Upon asking my daughter for permission, I'm very happy to announce that Li Suyin has decided to marry one of you young heroes."

"As for who she chooses, that's entirely up to her. But just a word of advice, performing well in the war will make me have a good impression of you, hahahahahahahahahahah!"

Laughing loudly and leaving with his daughter who from the beginning hadn't spoken a single word and just looked around, Li Qiao had successfully created the huge impact he wanted to. And increased the morale of every male inside the banquet.

Perform well in the war, to marry Li Qiao's favourite daughter.

It was quite simple to understand, and every male looked at each other who was their competition that would try to stop them from reaching their goal.

Seeing this Jian Shen chuckled at how it seemed like women could cause wars of destruction, and lead an Empire to victory as well.

Turning towards the five girls, Jian Shen asked with a smile, "Shall we head out ladies?"

Nodding their heads since this was what they were waiting for, the five women nodded their heads and happily left with Jian Shen
