Chapter 949: Three Gold Coins

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The Ying family’s family leaders came to find Zhao Fu with warm smiles, asking him about joining Great Qin. Zhao Fu assured them not to worry; after they entered the Heaven Awaken World, there would be people to receive them.

After hearing this, the family leaders grinned in satisfaction and left, excitedly waiting for the final hour to come.

Zhao Fu did not have much to do, and he also waited for the end of the world. At that moment, Ying Xi came to find Zhao Fu, making Zhao Fu feel quite surprised. He had not seen her in a long time; ever since he had become the proxy family leader, he had barely seen her.

“Zhao Fu, is Wu Qingniang alright these days?” Ying Xi looked quite thin and pallid, and she was slightly frowning.

Hearing this, Zhao Fu could not help but think about Wu Qingniang and Wu Zetian lying weakly on the bed, and he smiled as he replied, “She’s doing well!”

“Has Great Qin’s licentious Legatee laid his hands on her?” Ying Xi continued to ask.

After all, how could any woman who entered Great Qin be doing well? There were countless women, because every time Great Qin’s lascivious Legatee conquered a nation, he would take all of its beauties.

Zhao Fu was not sure how to answer this, because he had laid his hands on Wu Qingniang a long time ago, and he was ‘Great Qin’s licentious Legatee.’

Seeing that Zhao Fu was not saying anything, Ying Xi thought that Great Qin’s Legatee really had forced himself onto Wu Qingniang. She felt quite angry and glared at Zhao Fu as she said, “Zhao Fu, how could you do this? Qingniang has always chosen you to be her man and formed a relationship with you; how could you give your own woman to Great Qin’s Legatee?”

Zhao Fu did not know how to reply because he was Great Qin’s Legatee. Could he tell Ying Xi that he was Great Qin’s Legatee? It was the final day, but Zhao Fu still wanted to hide it until the real world was destroyed. All of them would understand after entering Great Qin.

“It’s not like what you’re thinking; I’m taking care of Qingniang and she really is doing quite well. You’ll understand after you enter Great Qin.” Zhao Fu could only say that for now.

After hearing this, Ying Xi’s expression became better, and she lowered her head as she asked in a small voice, “What is the Great Qin Legatee like? Is he really that bloodthirsty and licentious?”

Zhao Fu felt quite startled before remembering how the Ying family’s family leaders had talked about giving Ying Xi to Great Qin’s Legatee to be his Concubine. She seemed quite reluctant, and seeing that she had helped him in the past, he said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to ask the Legatee to drop the matter about you.”

Ying Xi looked at Zhao Fu in surprise. This was something that she had been worried about all along; she did not want to be kept in Great Qin’s Palace every day and be toyed with by Great Qin’s evil Legatee. Even though she was part of the Ying family, Ying Xi did not want such a thing to happen to her.

However, Ying Xi could not help but think about the family leaders’ words – she had to think of the Ying family and her parents first.

After all, it was not just her but the six women with the purest bloodlines being sent to be reat Qin’s Legatee’s Concubines. Only by establishing relations with Great Qin’s Legatee would the Ying family have a firm position in Great Qin.

When she thought of this, Ying Xi’s smile dimmed as she shook her head and said, “Thank you, but there’s no need. I was just asking if Great Qin’s Legatee was as terrifying as the rumors say. Is he really... like that to women?”

Zhao Fu did not quite understand, but there was no way he was going to talk badly about himself, so he shamelessly said, “His Majesty is actually a good person; those rumors are all false. He’s kind and treats people well, especially Great Qin’s officials and subjects. He’s deeply loved by all of Great Qin’s people, and he also has a good temper and isn’t very arrogant. He always modestly discusses with his subordinates, and...”

After Zhao Fu rambled on for quite a while, Ying Xi looked at him with a doubtful gaze. From what Zhao Fu had said, Great Qin’s Legatee was a man any woman would fall for.

After all, Great Qin’s Legatee, who Zhao Fu described, was not only incredibly good-looking, but his bearings were extraordinary, and he was extremely kind. He was gentle to women, and there were countless women obsessed with him.

Zhao Fu had been incredibly shameless and said almost everything good that could possibly be said about a person, making it seem as if Great Qin’s Legatee was the best man in the world.

Seeing that Zhao Fu was still going, Ying Xi stopped him and said, “Alright, you don’t have to continue saying good things about him. In actuality, I’ll be happy if he’s even half as good as you are. I’m truly envious of Qingniang being able to find someone she likes and being able to be with him.”

Even though Ying Xi cut Zhao Fu off and did not really believe his words, she felt much better and did not feel as melancholic.

Looking at Ying Xi, in the end, Zhao Fu could not help but say, “You don’t have to force yourself; if you really don’t want to, I can ask the Legatee to not take you in. You don’t have to worry about the Ying family; the Legatee has never thought about getting rid of the Ying family. I can promise this on my life.”

“Really?” Hearing that Zhao Fu was so willing to help her, Ying Xi felt quite moved. Tears danced in her eyes; after all, everyone had been forcing her to become Great Qin’s Legatee’s Concubine, and she had felt quite helpless.

Zhao Fu sincerely nodded. After all, he was Great Qin’s Legatee, and this was within his control.

“Thank you so much, Zhao Fu. I never knew that you were so important to Great Qin’s Legatee to be able to persuade him as to such a thing. I’ve really underestimated you. I’m sorry for being so arrogant before. I’ve realized that the biggest mistake I’ve made is giving you to Qingniang,” Ying Xi said sincerely.

Zhao Fu lightly laughed as he said, “Let bygones be bygones; I’m only alive because of your protection back then. Otherwise, I would have been killed by the Li family already.”

Ying Xi laughed as she nodded, and after chatting for a bit longer, Ying Xi happily smiled as she left.

Following this, Zhao Fu turned on his computer for the last time. The internet was down, but he had received a few messages from a few days ago.

Their Class President had sent his address in the real world, telling them to go and find him if they weren’t doing too well; there was no one else as warm-hearted as him. The Class President Zheng Dong was in the southern area of the Midland Continent. Zhao Fu wondered how he would react when Zhao Fu unified all of the Midland Continent. He was unable to send any messages now, so he could only laugh to himself.

There was also Wang Yue, Zhao Fu’s deskmate in high school, who Zhao Fu had helped in the past. He had sent a message, saying that his luck had been pretty good and that he had obtained three gold coins. He wanted to give the money to Zhao Fu and asked what Zhao Fu’s address was.

If Zhao Fu told him that he lived in Great Qin’s Palace, he wondered how Wang Yue would feel. Of course, Zhao Fu did not are about three gold coins at all; with his status now, he did not even care about millions of gold coins. However, he appreciated Wang Yue’s personality.
