I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

271: Section 271After all, what Long Huang said was indeed the truth.

If she, this commander of the Dragon Guard Army and the leading general of Empress Wu Mingyue, were to accompany him day and night as a mount, Empress Wu Mingyue would likely be the first to object!

Know when to stop while you’re ahead.

This is good enough!

Anyway, in the future, whenever he wants to ride.

Long Huang, this Grand General Long, will have to obediently let him ride!

Hahaha!

What could be more satisfying than this!

”The Marquis is truly mighty...”

Seeing that Cao Yang had really taken Long Huang as his mount.

Li Qingning silently gave him a thumbs up.

She whispered.

”What does this count for...”

”This Marquis has even mightier things...”

Cao Yang teased.

Seeing the playfulness in his eyes.

Li Qingning naturally knew what he was talking about and couldn’t help but blush.

”Pah!”

”A villain gloating over success!”

Long Huang decided that out of sight was out of mind.

She turned and walked away!

She began to gather the surrendered soldiers who had walked out of the valley.

Li Qingning was right.

These were all soldiers of Great Zhou.

Since they were willing to surrender.

She did not mind giving them another chance.

Compared to dying at the hands of their own people.

Being wrapped in horsehide and bleeding on the battlefield was undoubtedly a better destination for them...

Two hours later.

Long Huang had finished handling all matters.

She had reorganized those surrendered soldiers back into the Great Zhou army.

Afterwards.

She transformed back into a Dragon.

Carrying Cao Yang and Li Qingning, she headed back towards Zhenbei City.

”The shore of the East Sea...”

”This Marquis remembers, Martial Emperor City seems to be right here?”

Riding on the back of Long Huang.

Cao Yang gazed into the distance at the corner of the coastline.

Together with Li Qingning.

He did not reach out to touch the crimson dragon horns of Long Huang again.

He had already asserted his dominance.

Long Huang had not only not killed him.

Instead, she had become the flying mount of This Cao.

In the future.

There would naturally be no shortage of opportunities to touch the dragon horns...

”Does the Marquis also want to seek the Dao from the number one under heaven?”

Li Qingning sat down next to him.

She chuckled softly: ”That Old Freak Wang has topped the martial ranking list for decades, and no one can shake him, but in my opinion, relying on the Marquis’s talent in the Dao of martial arts, in time, it is not impossible for you to have this opportunity...”

”This Marquis has no such desire!”

Cao Yang shook his head.

A smile played on the corners of his mouth.

With his current strength, wanting to crush this number one under heaven, Old Freak Wang, who topped the martial ranking list?

It is not difficult!

Unfortunately—

This Cao only wants to be a schemer in the shadows, and has no heart for seeking the Dao!

Besides.

This Old Freak Wang is actually.

Only the number one under heaven in name.

How vast is the world under the heavens; how could true experts be ranked by a mere martial ranking list?

Anyone above the Martial Saint Realm.

Will not be on the list.

As for why?

Heh—

It is just like how the Rouge List dares not rank Empress Wu Mingyue.

Unless the person compiling the martial ranking list is the true number one under heaven.

Otherwise...

Daring to rank experts above the Martial Saint Realm.

You are courting death!

They could destroy you with a single breath!

Having reached such a Realm.

They have already begun to seek their own Dao, seeking to shatter the Void Realm and ascend the path of the Immortal; how could they tolerate being ranked by a petty martial ranking list?

”That is true...”

Li Qingning thought of something and let out a soft laugh.

This playboy Marquis before her.

Just how deep he is hiding.

She still hasn’t been able to see through him completely.

How could the number one under heaven on a mere martial ranking list be what he desires.

Half a day later.

Several people returned to Zhenbei City.

”The guilty woman Li Qingning pays respects to Your Majesty!”

Arriving at the mansion.

In front of Empress Wu Mingyue, who was clad in black dragon armor.

Li Qingning knelt and kowtowed.

She performed a respectful salute.

There was no look of defiance on her face.

Defeat is defeat.
