I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 14

This matter is no small issue; someone unknown has actually broken into the imperial palace!

She has gotten so close, yet she has not been detected.

If the intruder were to attempt an assassination, the consequences would be unpredictable.

They immediately drew their swords and surrounded Lin Beifan to protect him.

Assassin! Quickly, come and guard the Emperor!

Old Eunuch Liu also appeared beside Lin Beifan, his entire bodys True Qi condensed, ready to burst forth, as he intently stared into the distance.

On the eaves, a young girl dressed in black had appeared.

She appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen, with delicate features, fair skin, and a graceful figure.

Her hair was tied into two buns, yet she had long, jet-black hair that fell to her waist.

She was eating a candied haw on a stick, nodding and shaking her head, sitting on the eaves with her smooth and fair little feet dangling carelessly, looking very lively and cute.

Lin Beifan waved his hand: Dont be nervous, the young girl before us is clearly a master! If she wanted to kill me, you wouldnt be able to stop her at all!

Little foolish Emperor, youre right! If Yaoyao wanted to kill you, your head would have fallen long ago! the mysterious girl laughed, her tone filled with confidence.

Lin Beifan beckoned with his hand: Young lady, whats your name, and what brings you here?

The mysterious girl tossed aside the candied hawthorn stick she had just finished eating. Her small feet swayed lightly, and in what seemed like an instant teleportation, she appeared in front of Lin Beifan, lifted her little head, and with a mischievous smile said,

My name is Yaoyao! Im here specifically to kill you!

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up.

However, Lin Beifan laughed it off unconcernedly: Why kill me?

Because your head is now listed on the black markets bounty board, worth 500,000 taels, quite a lot of money!

The mysterious girls eyes shone brightly: As long as I kill you, that money will be Yaoyaos!

Lin Beifan became furious: What? My head is on the bounty board?

The girl Yaoyao nodded.

Lin Beifan continued to rage, Only a reward of 500,000 taels? Is that how little they value me?

The girl Yaoyao coughed, Ahem

She rolled her eyes in annoyance, 500,000 taels is already quite a lot. Even an Innate master would be tempted by that! Then, how much do you think your head is worth?

Lin Beifan stretched out a finger, No matter what, it should be worth at least 10 million taels, right?

The girl Yaoyao coughed again, Ahem

10 million taels, how can you even think of that?

Yaoyao said with exasperation: At that price, even a Grandmaster cant resist making a move! But youre just an Emperor of a small kingdom. Isnt it the same like to use a cleaver to kill a chicken? Dont you think so?

Lin Beifan, however, had a different opinion: You cant say that! If a person has no ambitions, how are they any different from a salted fish?

(TLN: Salted fish, someone who lacks ambition or has given up on making any effort towards improvement.)

The young girl burst into laughter: I cant take it anymore, Im going to die laughing! Who complains about their bounty being too low? This is like asking for a quicker death, no wonder others curse you as a foolish ruler! A great foolish ruler!

Lin Beifan gave a cold smile: Without even thinking, I know it must be those noble families who issued the bounty! Just because I killed a few of their people and took some goods, they put out a bounty Such lack of grace, theyll never achieve anything great!

The girl rolled her eyes: You say you just killed a few people and took some goods? You clearly slapped them right in the face, and those noble families value their faces the most. If they dont deal with you, who else would they deal with?

You can make a move, but dont be so stingy! Only 500,000 taels, who are you insulting? Thats not even enough to dismiss a beggar!

Lin Beifan complained discontentedly: No, I have to add more to it!

The young girl Yaoyao was stunned: What? You want to add more money?

Lin Beifan nodded earnestly.

The girl burst into laughter once again, Dont be like that. Are you trying to make me die of laughter to save your own skin? Relax, I dont want to kill you anymore. Youre quite interesting; it would be a pity to kill you!

Lin Beifan shook his head with a smile, Little girl, youve misunderstood my intention! How much money would you get for killing me? Instead, lets increase the bounty, attract more people here, and then we can kill them! Their money would then fall into our pockets, right?

The girls eyes widened in surprise, So youre suggesting

Exactly, thats what I mean!

Lin Beifan whispered, Ill be the bait, and youll be the fisherman. Together, well grow stronger and, in the end, well split the money between the two of us. How does that sound?

Yaoyao, the girl, pointed at Lin Beifan with trembling hands, You you make sense!

Then, the two of them began to chatter and discuss the details.

Everyone around was utterly stunned!

Goodness, they were mortal enemies before, but now they were actually collaborating, scheming together to trick someone else!

Especially their young Emperor, who even put a bounty on his own life!

Such a bold move, they were witnessing it for the first time!

Their worldviews were shattered in an instant!

At this moment, Lin Beifan didnt forget to warn everyone, This is a state secret, not to be disclosed. Understood?

Everyone gave a wry smile; even if they wanted to tell, no one would believe them!
