Chapter 32: The World of Adults
The voice penetrated out, and soon several people rushed over, and Emperor Tianwu and Wu Huancan both came to the main hall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Emperor Tianwu learned about the general situation, he wanted to drive Su Wushuang away, but was stopped by Li Zhi.
"Are you trying to use Li Sheng to suppress me? Emphasize again and again why I am Tianwu's wife, haha!! Are you here to be funny? Have you considered the consequences? The consequences of me off. β
Wu Huancan pleaded: "Demon Lord, she is my mother. β
"So what?"
"She won't do it in the future......"
"Shut up." Su Wushuang hammered his cane off the floor with all his might, and looked at Li Zhi without fear.
"If the Demon Lord is uncontrollable, I don't mind letting the Demon Lord ...... from now on"
Syllable!
Emperor Tianwu slapped him, and a red palm print remained on an old face.
"How dare you?"
With another slap, the two red marks were symmetrically distributed on the hideous old face.
"Shut up! You've been fooled by power! Arrogant! Arrogant! Do you think everyone should listen to you and everyone should be under your control? I've always tolerated you, because you haven't had any big mess, you're measured, and now! Do you even want to suppress the Demon Lord, and even the Demon Lord wants to control it? β
Su Wushuang wanted to say something, but she was lost face in front of this person, and the residual heat of the two slaps had not yet dissipated, so she didn't dare to say more, and she didn't even dare to look at Li Zhi more. The whole person seemed to have lost his soul and walked straight outside. Su Ziyan looked at Li Zhi apologetically, and then helped Su Wushuang to leave together.
Emperor Tianwu sighed and said, "I'm sorry, my lady is just ......."
Li Zhi said: "I want to test my attitude. No, it should be said that someone wants to use her to test my attitude, or simply want to trick me. β
Emperor Tianwu let Wu Huancan leave, sat on the side and said: "She has become more and more arrogant over the years, completely controlled by power, and she is no longer the Su Wushuang who was both wise and brave at the beginning. Anyway, she's my lady, and I hope you don't blame her. But the people behind her instigation should be dealt with......"
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but what's the matter with you?" β
"Actually, it's like this, you're still so young as a demon lord, in order to consolidate the relationship, all major families will recommend their daughters to you in this dinner, so ......"
Emperor Tianwu was a little embarrassed, in fact, this kind of thing should not be talked about by him, but it is related to the overall situation of the world, and he has to pull down his face to talk about these things. However, he was more or less used to it, and for the sake of Li Sheng's seat, they tried to chat with a red face, and the face of being an emperor had already been lost.
"Political marriage. Instead of marrying with other families, it is better for me to choose to marry with the Tianwu family, as soon as the Tianwu family stands behind the Tianwu family, my marriage with the Tianwu family is equivalent to standing with you, forming a stable connection. Second, choosing other families would cause great changes in the political situation of the Tian Yuan Continent, which would not be conducive to the stability of the Tian Yuan Continent. However, given the relationship between the Tianwu family and the Su family, in fact, it is acceptable for me to marry the Su family. Therefore, Su Wushuang's temptation just now is secondary, and marriage is the main thing. β
Emperor Tianwu nodded hesitantly and said, "Originally, I wanted to say this matter personally, but my wife said to let her come, so I had such an unpleasant experience today." However, I think you understand the benefits of this matter to the Tian Yuan Continent, and I think that I was also able to quickly stabilize the situation by marrying the Su family back then. My lady is indeed at fault, but I don't want her attitude to affect your judgment. β
"Naturally, if you don't want to marry the Su family, you can also choose the Tianwu family. There are still a lot of talented and capable talents in the Heavenly Martial Clan, as long as you are willing to ......"
"Stop!" Li Zhi looked at Emperor Tianwu, stared into his eyes and said, "You know I can't stay here forever, right? β
Emperor Tianwu said: "That's not a problem, the marriage will strengthen the status of the Tianwu family, even if you leave, the Tianwu family can still rule the Tianyuan Continent well." β
Li Zhi said: "No, I'm not talking about the Tian Yuan Continent, but the woman who married me. β
"She will be treated very well, if you want, I will make her the head of the Tianwu family, I will let Su Wushuang abdicate, and she will become the first woman in the Tianyuan Continent. Of course, if you want to take her, then feel free, I will not stop you. β
Li Zhi said angrily: "Don't take these things for granted!" I will leave, and my wife will become a widow. And because of my status as a demon lord, it's impossible for her to find another man. It's a sacrifice, at the cost of someone else's life. β
Emperor Tianwu said calmly: "They don't feel that this is a sacrifice, they will feel honored, and many women will compete for this position." Your excellence dooms you to not belong to a certain woman, because they are not worthy of you. You don't need to feel guilty that the narrow institution of marriage for the common people is a binding law that has to be enacted because of the ratio of men and women in society. β
Li Zhi retorted: "Then why did you only marry Su Wushuang?" β
Emperor Tianwu smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Because I am not very human, I am Emperor Tianwu, and I have my own mission." The relationship between men and women is just a hindrance for me. It's not love for me to marry Su Wushuang, she doesn't have love for me, I need the Su family, she needs rights, we each take what we need. β
"I'm sorry, little friend, I forgot you were young. You have not yet reached the point where you can see through the red dust of the world, and you are misled by this so-called love lie. In the adult world, there is only the word profit. β
"My second son, the current Emperor of Heavenly Martial Arts, his qualifications are worse than Xiao Can's, and his temperament is far inferior. Therefore, he can only be a secular emperor, not the suzerain of the Heavenly Martial Sect. He is merry by nature, and he is full of flowers and grass. Of course, because he is the emperor, people dare not say that he is romantic, he can get the women he likes, and there are thousands of beauties in the harem, but he is still not satisfied, he thinks it is a symbol of proving that he has the ability. β
He thought he was a heartthrob, and every woman he loved him to death, but he gradually understood that there was no so-called love at all, and everyone was hypocritical, in order to cater to him and please him, they put on a look of liking him. There are thousands of people in his harem, and none of them really love him, they just care about his rights and the status he can bring to him. β
"I hate him and I don't think he deserves to be my son. But the reason I hate him is not because he messes with flowers, but because he is obsessed with lust and has abandoned martial arts. Do you understand? My son, his status is destined to make it impossible for him to be bound by a woman, because he is too good. It's an honor for a woman to be close to him, and even more so for you. β
"You don't need to feel guilty and feel sorry for them, because they don't blame you, it's just a simple relationship of interest."
Li Zhi didn't speak for a long time, his fingers groped back and forth on the handle of the seat, and finally sighed: "I don't want to be irresponsible, even if the other party doesn't think about me being responsible at all, my thinking is too naΓ―ve and self-inflicted." But I think ......"
Li Zhi paused again, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, you have made me understand myself better." I say that I don't believe in love, resist and reject its existence, but ...... You made me realize that maybe there is a yearning for it in my heart. β
"You're right, I have no way to refute you. Because after abandoning the inexplicable factor of feelings, only caring about interests, all relationships will become simple and pure. There is nothing responsible or irresponsible, the union of the two parties is just to take what they need, abandon the emotional factor, and everyone's relationship will become simpler. β
"You know what? I hate amorous people, they are animals that think in the lower half of their bodies, they like beautiful women when they see them, and they keep saying what they love or not, which makes me feel disgusting. At first, I thought it was disrespectful to women, and the so-called harem was to trample on the dignity of women, which violated my understanding of equality between men and women. I think that real fairness is that men and women are one-on-one, or men should tolerate women opening harems while opening harems, this is equality, this is fairness. One-to-one, many-to-many, this is in line with my understanding of equality between men and women. β
"But, if you think about it, what makes me feel sick in the end is actually the love they say. A man can be with more than a dozen women at the same time, and he keeps talking about love, obviously just looking at other people's appearances, and obviously being dominated by the lower body. Love, where does it come from? β
"Love as I understand it is precious, rare, possessive, protective, something that can give everything for the sake of the other person, and at the same time relative."
"What I hate is their trampling on love, trampling on that little illusion that exists in my mind. Love is beautiful, but it is illusory, it is what my heart desires, love...... It's a dream. β
Emperor Tianwu stood up and slowly left outside the main hall: "I understand, no one will disturb you anymore. β
After Li Sheng and the other Tianwu Emperor left, he stood aside and meditated, thinking for a long time but still had no answer, "I don't understand." β
Li Zhi smiled: "I don't understand either, probably because we haven't grown up yet." β
"What do you mean?"
"Because the adult world only has the word profit, and we still have fantasies and extravagant hopes, we are beautiful, so we are children."
Li Sheng asked, "Then are you going to grow up?" β
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Don't." The so-called adult world is too cruel, if everything is explained and analyzed by interests, the relationship between people and people will become quite simple and naked. Like the relationship between parents and children, for parents, children are needed for future retirement, and for children, parents must rely on in order to survive and grow up. Everyone is a relationship of interest, I will raise you as an adult, and you will raise me to the end. β
"Because feelings are something that is difficult to explain, we abandon the factor of feelings and explain them all in terms of interests."
"Li Sheng...... If I break the shackles of emotion, what will I have left? How terrible would it be if I became unconcerned about you, and stayed with you just to take advantage of you, to keep myself alive...... If we are only in a relationship of pure interest, if our feelings are denied, I ...... There is no need for such a world to exist. β
Li Sheng said firmly: "If that is the adult world, then I will never grow up." β
Li Zhi said in a low and hoarse voice: "Li Sheng...... Please don't abandon me, never leave me alone, can you promise me? β
"I promise. No matter whether it is heaven or hell ahead, I will stand by your side and protect you (my brother) forever. β
