Chapter 853 (It's Not That Easy)
'give out some benefits, otherwise it's impossible to pacify them.'
Qing Ya was quite satisfied with the actions of the women. They should be disciplined in this manner to avoid starting a harem in the future.
Daji, for the first time, saw her master's subordinates and realised that each of them had formidable strength. She suddenly felt the pressure. She needed to work hard in her cultivation because, as her master's maid, she had to be quite powerful.
"I've called this annual meeting to share an idea and get your opinions on it," Ye Hua announced. In the past, he wouldn't have cared about others' opinions. What he said was the final word, and even if it wasn't final, he would make it so. He was just that powerful.
His subordinates all lowered their heads slightly, ready to listen.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were also curious about what Ye Hua had in mind. It seemed that when inspiration struck, he acted swiftly. Ye Hua was a man of action, not one to stay in the realm of theory. If he thought of something, he did it, and that was what made a real man.
"I believe that humans and other races should be able to live together in peace. We can try this within the Voidless Empire," Ye Hua said solemnly.
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, especially the Seven Deadly Sins who held no fondness for humans. To them, Your Honor was merely cultivating humans for his pleasure. But upon hearing this today, they thought that perhaps Your Honor had gone crazy; how could humans and other races coexist peacefully? This was a land with a history spanning millions of years, and such a scenario had never occurred before.
The three wives, however, thought their husband's idea was a good one. It turned out that Ye Hua was a good person who understood the importance of living in harmony.
But Qing Ya and the others underestimated Ye Hua's intentions. As an otherworldly being, Ye Hua had to benefit the other races as well. He couldn't keep favouring humans all the time, especially when he had once despised them. Most importantly, the other races should rise, not hide in the shadows. When the time came, Ye Hua would raise his banner, and all the other races of the Sapphire Continent would gather in the northern part of the continent. In the south were the humans. What would happen then? Humans would fight against the other races, and it wouldn't just be against the other races; it would be against Ye Hua as well.
It would be an epic battle. Ye Hua was not just fantasising; he was picturing all the other races uniting to resist human invasion.
Jue Tian, who was still in cat form, was being held by Brittany. Instantly, he understood what Your Honor meant and raised both paws in agreement.
"If you have any objections, don't hide them. Speak up," Ye Hua told his subordinates when he saw that they seemed to hesitate and not voice their concerns.
Lie Gu asked, "Your Honor, it's impossible for humans and other races to live together peacefully. Humans despise other races, and the other races despise humans as well."
Wei Chang stepped forward and said, "Your Honor, the Voidless Empire is flourishing now, and we've even established a trading guild. If we allow other races to enter, it might have serious consequences. All the benefits will flow away."
Even Ye Zizi, who usually kept a low profile, spoke up at this moment. "Your Honor, on the Sapphire Continent, the war between humans and other races is deeply rooted in people's hearts. I hope you'll reconsider this."
Ye Hua was excited at first and even fantasised that his subordinates would hail him as a wise Your Honor. However, when they dared to oppose his proposal, he became irritated. He thought they were becoming arrogant because he wasn't showing his dominance. The subordinates clearly felt his anger and shrugged their shoulders. The truth may be harsh, but loyal advice is better than sweet lies.
Yue Hua said respectfully, "Your Honor, we shouldn't rush into this matter. We should conduct market research to determine the extent of hatred the residents of the Voidless Empire have for other races."
Qing Ya gently said, "Ye Hua, we shouldn't rush into this matter. The prosperity of the Voidless Empire is hard-won, and implementing such an order hastily may lead to discontent."
"Who dares to be discontent? I'll just drag them out and chop them," Ye Hua retorted coldly, annoyed that even Qing Ya opposed his proposal.
Zi Shan offered a fair point, saying, "Your Honor, even if you issue such an order, how can the other races trust you? Will they come to the city? Or will they perceive it as a trap?"
While these individuals made valid arguments, Ye Hua was still feeling quite unhappy. The exhilaration he felt earlier had been extinguished by their cold water.
Ye Hua asked, "And who would you suggest?"
The answer came from Donghuang Baizhi, sitting beside him. "Mu Ran."
Hearing the name Mu Ran, Ye Hua's eyes lit up. Mu Ran still had considerable influence in Northern Chill, and she held a high status in people's hearts. She even had the title of Holy Maiden. What was the Holy Maiden for? Well, it was for displaying compassion, of course.
Thinking of Mu Ran's compassion, Ye Hua had a brilliant idea. Now he needed some subordinates who were good at acting.
If he wanted to dispel humans' thoughts of hostility toward other races, he needed mutual assistance.
In the past, he had received the Best Actor, Best Director, and even the Best Screenplay awards. As he thought of these, Ye Hua realised that if his wives found out the incident from that day was staged, how would they react? Divorce? Run away from home? All possibilities were open.
As long as Lie Gu didn't reveal his true identity, this matter would be resolved perfectly.
But for now, Ye Hua decided to set this issue aside.
"Your Honor, didn't you say you would assign tasks when you arrived? It's been months, and there's been no word," Ye Zizi said impatiently, itching for some action.
Sitting beside Ye Hua, Qing Yutong's eyes sparkled. It looked like a squad to stir up trouble.
Ye Hua responded, "I haven't decided yet. I'll assign tasks in a few days." This was a way of reminding them that even though they wanted tasks, they had just opposed his proposal, which was bold on their part.
Ye Zizi was a bit disappointed but at least had a time frame. However, she was still uncertain about what "a few days" meant.
"Yue Hua, the task of conducting a public opinion survey is yours. The meeting is over for today. Oh, and be prepared; someone may be coming soon," Ye Hua concluded nonchalantly. Prime Yang Mansion had suffered losses, with two Gods killed, and Ye Hua had revealed his location. Those who fainted would definitely share this information. So, it was perfectly reasonable for Prime Yang Mansion to seek revenge.
Ye Hua was unsure if Prime Yang Mansion would put up a fight and what method they would use. These were things he needed to consider, and it was giving him a headache.
"Yes!" his subordinates responded respectfully.
"That's all for now," Ye Hua waved his hand, planning to meet with Mu Ran and see what she thought.
"I'll go talk to Mu Ran; you all get cleaned up and wait for me in bed," Ye Hua said with a faint smile, finding this playful teasing quite enjoyable.
Qing Ya gave her husband an exasperated look. "You wish! We're sleeping in separate rooms. You can go wherever you want."
"Haha, exactly! Let's turn over the cards, shall we?" Donghuang Baizhi quipped playfully.
