Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Right now, all I want is to leave the Great Tang Prison; all I want is to start my life anew outside of it. I’ve truly had enough of these days filled with fear and dread, and I’ve truly had enough of detesting these people, yet still having to speak to them with utmost respect.

The Prison Director nodded with satisfaction, saying jokingly, ”Don’t be formal with me. This is what I, as an elder, should do.”

”But Yuchi, Han Ming has been by my side for so many years and practically grew up here. Although I don’t say it openly, I’ve treated Han Ming as my own daughter. Since it’s my own daughter leaving the family, I feel obliged to remind you from an elder’s standpoint.”

Yuchi’s expression remained unchanged, still filled with various excitements, but after hearing the Prison Director’s ”but,” he gradually realized something was amiss. Was the other party using Han Ming to threaten him? Or simply trying to make him obedient?

This judgement isn’t difficult. Just consider the big picture, and you can instantly understand what’s on the Prison Director’s mind. This is typically taking advantage while marrying off a daughter to earn a good amount of money.

It’s similar to how, in the past, they’d say, ”I know you both like each other, but, kid, you need to prepare a house, a car, and money. I’ve raised this daughter for so many years; I can’t just give her away for nothing.” It’s not exactly the same but entirely similar!

”Please, do tell!” Yuchi said respectfully.

”Hmm!”

The Prison Director stroked the sparse stubble on his chin, casting a fatherly smile toward Han Ming.

Han Ming felt instantly nauseous but dared not speak.

Then the Prison Director continued leisurely:

”Firstly, our Great Tang Prison lacks nothing in terms of gold and silver; those things are quite vulgar. So, after Han Ming leaves the Great Tang Prison, I have no intention of asking you for a bride price. Thus, let’s set aside the mundane matter of gold and silver. You might not see it, but I am a very sentimental person.”

Yuchi thought: Sentimental, my foot! If you’re a sentimental person, then my surname must be ”Sentimental.”

”Here’s the thing! You just need to promise to treat Han Ming well, swear to protect her, give her a satisfactory life, and prevent any grievances. If you ever encounter any business trouble, you can come to me first, and I will definitely help!”

This was exactly what the Prison Director wanted—to play the emotion card. The hardest card to play in this world, and also the hardest to refuse, is the emotion card. Sometimes, with a bit of moral blackmail, it becomes unbeatable.

For example: ”Remember, he’s your brother,” ”He’s your father,” ”I’m your dad, you should listen to me,” etc. It’s not limited to this simple stuff; it’s a weapon that wounds without a trace.

”I will!”

Yuchi said unwaveringly:

”I will surely protect Han Ming well. Although I know I have no cultivation, and although I know I am just an ordinary person, an ordinary person can still protect Han Ming well. Any problem she has can be laid upon me. As her husband, I will definitely protect her, let her live happily for a lifetime!”

Han Ming knew Yuchi was speaking falsehoods, but hearing his promises, she still felt a warm sensation in her heart, as if everything this man said was sincere. Somehow, tears welled up in her eyes.

She was moved.

”Ming’Er...” Yuchi hurried over, gently embracing this beautiful Golden Armor maiden, his expression filled with greed, involuntarily licking his lips, a face full of cunning.

And all of this naturally fell into the eyes of the Prison Director, who was very pleased with Yuchi’s current expression. This is exactly the behavior of a petty and vulgar chairman, everything consistent with his expectations.

Finally, he concluded, ”Alright! Then it’s settled this way. You must surely protect Han Ming well. Should you hurt her, or should she come to me crying, I’ll have to take stern actions against you. Don’t blame me then for turning my back on you.”

His tone was joking, but the logic within his words was clear to Yuchi: If you harm Han Ming, and if Han Ming gets hurt, I won’t hesitate to hold you accountable. You were the one who took Han Ming out of the Great Tang Prison!

Inside the Great Tang Prison, there had been no issues, so why are there suddenly dangers when she’s with you?

Heh heh.

Me, I love falsely accusing people, enjoy watching you unable to defend yourselves, love seeing your flushed faces as you stammer, unable to speak. I know better than anyone what it feels like to be wronged, yet so what? Hahaha, you are but dogs under my command, dogs that must obey, or else join in making a dog meat soup with perilla.
