Future Emperor?

Ren Yuan's pupil constricted while his breathing became slightly harsh as those words alone are enough to almost overwhelm his usual calm and indifferent state of mind.

​​

He wanted to say that the young woman was simply lying and was speaking such a ridiculous thing, and yet, he couldn't open his mouth to let out a single word.

There is one fact everyone knows about the special people in every Empire that can see or predict the future, no one can tell a single lie when revealing what they caught a glimpse of either a person or the Empire's fate or destiny.

Because, depending on the consequences of their actions, they will receive a severe punishment or even death.

It is also one of the main reasons why the High Priestess has peacefully kept their status in every generation because it's a power that would never be used in dishonest behavior or selfishness.

As for how everyone learns about the severe consequences of such actions, it was simply because there is already a previous case.

In the past, there had been an extremely ambitious, sly, and shrewd Imperial Prince who was able to win over a High Priestess, in which they conspired to create a false prediction that the Imperial Prince was the future Emperor.

As a result, the High Priestess was overwhelmed by the power she was bestowed and died on the spot after such declaration, while the Imperial Prince was suddenly struck down by thunder in a supposedly cloudless sky.

That is why, every single honorable special person in every Empire could never use their power to cause chaos, or simply for their own needs and selfishness.

Nonetheless, there is always a loophole in every rule, and because of the previous case in the past, every ruler would still keep an eye on the special people in their Empire.

Although the rulers weren't completely strict, and never acted too much in their monitoring, after all, there is a reason why they have a special person in every Empire. It's simply a relationship that couldn't be broken because it was deemed important and a significant rule that was basically blessed by Heaven.

Unfortunately to others, they would have never thought that there was someone that would be able to easily use their power without worry because even Heaven couldn't bind and restrict a special existence.

So, Ren Yuan can only take a deep breath while calming his chaotic mind after seeing that the young woman is completely fine after speaking a supposedly impossible statement.

"So, what if Little Cheng has the possibility of becoming the future Emperor?"

I will make sure that such a future won't come true!

That the throne isn't worth the trouble and danger it will lead to Little Cheng's life.

Anyone would love to sit on that throne, where one would even consider it as a glorious and worthy status, but there will be countless sacrifices, suffering, and forbearance to even reach it.

"I will never allow you to use Little Cheng, so remove any untoward intention in your mind right now. Even if you are the next High Priestess, I will use all my power to take you down."

Like hell, I will let Little Cheng suffer such fate! There is nothing good staying in that Imperial Palace, much less becoming the Emperor!

"Besides, the Little Cheng I know would never consider such a rebellious thought."

Whitey already has trouble getting close and interacting with his family. Do you know how many people Whitey would interact with after becoming Emperor? And you are telling me that he has a fate of becoming the Emperor??

Hah!

Ren Yuan sneers while hiding the chaotic feeling in his heart as he continues to consider such an unbelievable matter.

"Why does Little Cheng need to be the one? Especially when you just mentioned that Little Cheng has the highest possibility of becoming the Emperor, then it also means that there are also other people to choose from! There are basically six Imperial Princes, just let one of them become the Emperor!"

… Young man, you are the only other choice left…

Jiayi's lip twitched as the dangerous atmosphere around the man became extremely terrifying at the same time, she couldn't help but feel great admiration and finding this 'Fated Lover' as an interesting person.

After all, both of the two young men don't plan on becoming the Emperor, there is no ambition at all.

The first one is already making preparations in order to put the other person on the throne, while the other person appears to have intense dislikes in the Royal family. And at the same time, he also seemed to be planning to stop any chance of the other person from becoming the Emperor in the future.

"You can deny all you want, but later on, you will learn that there is a reason why I saw your Little Cheng as the Future Emperor instead of the sons of the present Emperor. I'll seriously warn you right now, never get in his way in the future. Or else, you will end up regretting it for the rest of your life."

One of the two of you needed to become the next Emperor or else the consequences of failing the deal with the Empire spirit is extremely severe for that person.

Swish!

Suddenly, Jiayi quickly stood up from where she was sitting before swiftly backing away, completely leaving the Pavilion.

Which, she can only watch with a bit of helplessness in her face as the entire Pavilion that they have been staying is simply destroyed as the other person unexpectedly, or not, started to become extremely violent.

"Mentioning about my secret… speaking about those annoying people… even going so far as to causing trouble to Little Cheng… are you really asking for death? You are pissing me off."

Ren Yuan's heart is basically brimming with endless murderous intention the longer he listens to the young woman's words while forcefully using his own arms to push away the large broken piece that is falling in his figure.

Crash! Bang!

At the same time, he uses the chaotic internal energy around him to destroy the small broken pieces that landed in his body, simply turning them into dust.

"The only reason I mentioned all that information is to decrease the chance of the two of you turning into enemies. You might not like to hear it, but there is a high chance that the two of you can turn against each other in the future."

Just as what occurred in the previous life, rather than waiting, or worrying about such a situation happening in the future, it's better to mention it early on in order to be more prepared.

Although that other person couldn't be controlled by fate, the person before her is the key for the 'Fated Lover' to come true.

For that person to live a long time and complete everyone's wish and goal, she understood that the two young men are not allowed to become enemies. Basically, she has to be a matchmaker for the two young men for everything to turn out alright in the end.

"I simply want you to be prepared in the future. And in case of a misunderstanding, an unexpected situation occurring, or even forced by circumstances, I would ask for you to be calmer when figuring out your next move."

Jiayi remains calm despite her painfilled body tensing up while alertly observing the obviously mad person casually standing in the center of the broken Pavilion.

"It seemed that we could not continue talking right now."

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps resounds in the distance causing Ren Yuan's eyebrow to wrinkle while Jiayi gently fixes her slightly messy robes before her purple eyes arc into a beautiful crescent moon.

"Please don't forget my words today… and I'll see you again after two days."

"Haa… I have never been this annoyed for a long time."

Despite the dangerous tone in his voice, the furious emotion in Ren Yuan's face has swiftly changed into a normal expression with his lip forming into a familiar grin while the dangerous and heavy atmosphere around his body completely disappeared like it wasn't there in the first place.

"Even if the Empire is destroyed or plunged into chaos, I don't honestly care what you want to do. However, remember, don't ever reach your dirty hands on Little Cheng."

After the last threat, Ren Yuan swiftly left the place, and when his figure completely disappeared in the distance, Jiayi let out a soft sigh and started to let out a painful cough before throwing up blood.

Splash!

Ah… I seemed to have pushed myself more than I thought so… what a terrifying duo… my entire back is all wet from cold sweats...

Although Jiayi has shown a relaxed and calm appearance, however, she has been alert the entire time, but it seems that she has still underestimated the two young men's attitudes and reactions.

Such overprotective young men...
