Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Is There Still a Chance to Steal This Dog from the White-Red Empire?

’This sudden visit from the Lighthouse Empire surely means they’re up to no good.’

’In their eyes, I and the Great Jing Empire I command are nothing but a dog they’ve tamed.

All they have to do is toss me a bone, and I’m expected to lead my Empire to bite whomever they target.’

Ji Shengyue now knew that the true power propping up the Lighthouse Empire was its Vampire Clans.

Ji Shengyue was filled with curiosity.

Between the Lighthouse Empire’s Vampire Clans and this seemingly ferocious Great Celestial Dog, who was stronger?

She didn’t dare hope the Great Celestial Dog could crush the Vampire Clans;

it would be enough if he could just match them, or at least wasn’t inferior.

’At least this Great Celestial Dog’s true target is only my body.

He just wants to play with me like a dog.’

Ji Shengyue had come to terms with this sacrifice over the past few days.

After all, she had no secrets left before the Great Celestial Dog anyway.

All her hidden places had been thoroughly explored by him.

’At the very least, no one else knows about these humiliating acts besides the Great Celestial Dog and me.’

But from the moment she chose to cooperate with the Lighthouse Empire,

they had always acted high and mighty, trampling both her and the Great Jing Empire underfoot and ordering them about.

Now, Ji Shengyue wanted to use the Great Celestial Dog to escape the Lighthouse Empire’s grasp.

By doing so, Ji Shengyue was certain that the terrible state of public opinion against her in the country would immediately be reversed.

Furthermore, she had always longed to reclaim the half of the Great Jing Empire’s territory that was still under the rule of the New World Organization.

An empire’s true future and hope depends on a large population.

Great Jing’s territory was small to begin with, and now nearly half of it was gone.

Even with all her ambition, Ji Shengyue would have no room to maneuver after escaping the Lighthouse Empire’s control.

"You are my servant now, and my dog alone. If anyone else presumes to make you their dog, I will personally crush their skulls."

the Great Celestial Dog declared domineeringly.

"Is that so? In that case, I’ll be counting on you for the meeting with the people from the Lighthouse Empire."

Ji Shengyue’s delight was written all over her face. She dropped her timid act,

struggled up from the floor, forcing her boneless-feeling body upright,

and picked up her scattered clothes and put them on.

After straightening herself up, Ji Shengyue seemed to instantly regain the majestic bearing of Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Jing Empire.

"No problem."

The Great Celestial Dog adjusted his own clothing as well.

His gaze roved wantonly over Ji Shengyue’s elegant and regal attire, making no effort to conceal his intentions.

He loved seeing her dressed like this most of all...

only to then violently rip the gorgeous clothes apart and trample her flawless, jade-like body under his feet.

However, now was clearly not the time. Since his reawakening,

the Great Celestial Dog had gained some understanding of the current global situation on Blue Star. The Lighthouse Empire seemed to be quite powerful.

However, he had never had any contact with the Vampire Clans behind the Lighthouse Empire,

so he had no clear idea of their true strength.

Once they were both presentable, the Great Celestial Dog followed at Ji Shengyue’s side

and opened the doors to the main hall.

Ji Shengyue shot an unnatural glance at Zong Yajuan, who was standing outside the hall.

Zong Yajuan kept her head bowed,

but a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Zong Yajuan had a faint feeling that the relationship between Her Majesty the Queen and the Great Celestial Dog was rather peculiar.

However, Zong Yajuan didn’t let her mind dwell on it. After all, what was happening between Ji Shengyue and the Great Celestial Dog

was utterly scandalous.

If she knew the truth, she would likely be shocked beyond belief.

The group proceeded to the reception hall.

Over a dozen people were seated in the reception hall, all of them clearly from the Lighthouse Empire.

What caught Ji Shengyue’s eye most was a middle-aged man in an elegant formal suit, seated at the very head of the group.

Judging by his seat, the aura he exuded, and the reactions of those around him,

this middle-aged man had to be the highest-ranking leader of the Lighthouse Empire’s delegation.

"Ji Shengyue, I have come this time bearing the highest directive from the Blood Race."

To Ji Shengyue’s surprise,

the elegant middle-aged man from the Lighthouse Empire who had spoken first

did so in perfectly fluent Great Jing.

Moreover, judging by his pronunciation,

he spoke the language as authentically as a native of the Great Jing Empire.

Crucially, Ji Shengyue noticed a detail that unsettled her.

When the Great Celestial Dog had followed her into the reception hall,

this important figure from the Vampire Clan hadn’t so much as glanced at him.

This was enough to show that the Vampire magnate didn’t consider the Great Celestial Dog worthy of his notice.

After all, given the man’s status, it was impossible that he didn’t recognize who the Great Celestial Dog was.

"How should I address you?"

Ji Shengyue walked to the head seat and sat down, not directly responding to the Vampire magnate’s words.

"Brooks."

the man replied.

"And what directive has the Lighthouse Empire brought?"

Ji Shengyue glanced at the Great Celestial Dog beside her out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing his expression was unchanged, her heart calmed slightly.

After all, the Great Celestial Dog was her greatest asset right now.

"The Lighthouse Empire demands that you dispatch troops immediately to the waters of the Great Xia Empire,

and coordinate with the White-Red Empire to launch raids and attacks against them.

During this period, the Lighthouse Empire will provide both the White-Red and Great Jing Empires with Martial Artist support."

Brooks said.

"So, your Lighthouse Empire just pulls the strings from behind

while we and the White-Red Empire serve as your cannon fodder?"

Ji Shengyue retorted.

Several of the handsome and beautiful Vampire Clan members standing behind Brooks frowned slightly.

They hadn’t expected Ji Shengyue to question them rather than immediately agree.

"Ji Shengyue, you still don’t realize who you’re speaking to, do you?

Allow me to introduce him. Our Blood Race has a total of twelve Clans.

There were originally thirteen, but one Clan has since vanished without a trace.

Such is the way of things in the long river of history, for empires and families alike.

Their fates are often impossible to predict.

And this man, Mr. Brooks, is one of the twelve Princes of our Blood Race.

I know you’re relying on that Great Celestial Dog beside you, but let me be honest with you.

Even if you combined all the so-called Deities from the White-Red Empire, the Blood Race wouldn’t give them a second thought.

Besides, if not for the Lighthouse Empire’s clandestine assistance, do you think a paltry empire like Great Jing

would have ever had the chance to steal this dog from the White-Red Empire?"

A younger-looking member of the Vampire Clan stood up and spoke with scorn and derision.

BOOM!

An immense, baleful aura instantly erupted from the Great Celestial Dog.

His hand went straight to the hilt of the Samurai Sword at his waist.

His eyes, brimming with killing intent, were locked onto the young Vampire Clan member who had spoken,

radiating an intense murderous desire to draw the sword and slice him to pieces, cut by cut.
