Cultivator With Modern AI

Like Zhu Yuhe's inauguration as Empress, today's handover ceremony was not too different from that time.

All the distinguished families from the southern continent attended the event, and representatives of the sects also came. Only this time, no other representatives from other continents were coming, apart from Bai Zhongyu.

Zhu Yuhe stood with Shui Lihao in front of the throne, and three women stood behind them. They were Zhou Xuan, Qin Shuang, and Wang Xinruo.

As for Zhu Honglian, Shui Yan, and Shui Liuli standing at the side, they waiting for Zhu Yuhe's speech.

Zhu Yuhe observed the people one by one, and as she had previously expected, those people could accept Shui Lihao more easily than they accepted her, and many even looked relieved by her decision to abdicate.

Even though Zhu Yuhe had been Empress for a long time, many people were still unwilling to acknowledge her, but no one dared to voice their objections, especially since she was the strongest cultivator in the southern continent.

"Honestly, I never intended to become the Empress of this continent. However, past situations forced me to do something because Hong Chen used his authority to suppress too many people, and he also forced me to become his concubine. That's why I decided to fight against him and become an Empress." Zhu Yuhe then paused for a while and glanced at several people before she continued. "Even though during these few months I have worked hard to improve the welfare of the people of this continent, many of you are still dissatisfied with me, but all of that will end today. As previously announced, I will officially step down from the throne today."

Hearing that, many of the people at the venue cheered happily and were truly overjoyed by it.

Zhou Xuan and Zhu Honglian frowned at the people's reaction, and they really wanted to shut their mouths, but they didn't want to spoil the atmosphere in the place.

However, Xia Tian did not remain silent after hearing those people cheering like that; he then released his golden dragon bloodline to suppress them, causing them to break out in cold sweat and fall into silence.

They knew many cultivators who were stronger than Zhu Yuhe, assisting her in the war against Hong Chen, but most of them were unaware that it was Xia Tian's doing, and only a few of those who had sensed his aura before noticed his actions.

Mei Yun shook her head upon sensing that, but she also wondered in her heart. 'What relationship does he have with Zhu Yuhe, really? Why did he react like that?'

Mei Yin also reacted like her twin sister, and she sighed and muttered in her heart. 'That Xia Tian is simply too terrifying! His aura is much scarier than before!'

Situ Meiqi and Qin Qing smiled wryly after sensing that, and they stole glances at Xia Tian, but he just shrugged casually at them.

Yan Qiangying and Yan Chenyu only smiled and glanced at Xia Tian, they had repeatedly looked at him in the Xia Residence for several months, but Leng Youxin told them that he had gone to a far place, so they were only able to meet him today.

Dugu Zhong and Dugu Yan also couldn't help but shake their heads; they had witnessed Xia Tian's cruelty when he and his women massacred the elders of the Meng family.

As for Ding Yuan, he also couldn't help but sigh in his heart, especially since he remembered that Meng Yao had suddenly disappeared, and he thought that Xia Tian had kidnapped her without anyone knowing.
On the other hand, Ling Xin also stole glances at Xia Tian, but he quickly averted his eyes the moment their eyes met. Even though he still held a grudge against him, he knew he couldn't go against him.

Guo Lan also turned to him, and her look was complicated. She repeatedly wanted to kill Ling Xin, but she didn't dare disobey Xia Tian's orders.

Seeing their reactions like that, Zhu Yuhe smiled faintly and continued. "Since I already sentenced Shan Lui to death, and Huo Jin is still too young, I decided to hand over my authority to King Shui Lihao, and he will become the new Emperor of this southern continent. I believe that with his experience developing the Shui Kingdom, he will surely also be able to develop this southern continent even better."

After that, Zhu Yuhe did not speak any further and handed the crown over to one of the elders, and she ordered him to begin Shui Lihao's coronation ceremony.

After that, Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan stepped aside from the throne and joined the three princesses watching the procession from the side.

The coronation ceremony didn't last long, and after everything was over, Shui Lihao immediately gave his first speech. Since he needed his trusted people to help Shui Yan take care of Shui Kingdom in the future, he decided to keep the people who had worked under Zhu Yuhe before.

Many people were excited to hear Shui Lihao's speech, but not the people from the sect. To them, Zhu Yuhe was much more suitable to be the ruler of the southern continent, especially since she was the strongest among them. But they couldn't force her to change her mind either, but they also wondered why Zhu Yuhe suddenly stepped down from the throne.

However, they didn't have to wait long to find Zhu Yuhe's reasoning. After Shui Lihao finished his speech, she gave them an extremely shocking announcement.

Since she was no longer an Empress, Zhu Yuhe no longer thought about her reputation, so she decided to announce to them that she was Xia Tian's woman, and she would go with him to the Holy Central Continent in two days.

The people were completely shocked after Zhu Yuhe revealed her relationship with Xia Tian, but many of them sneered at their relationship, especially since she was his mother-in-law, yet she also became his wife.

But the surprise for them didn't stop there, as Zhou Xuan also revealed that she was also one of Xia Tian's women, leaving them unable to react as they were too shocked.

Shui Lihao couldn't help but shake his head, Zhu Yuhe herself had discussed it with him before, and he had allowed her to do so.

Even though she had known about their relationship for a long time, Qin Shuang was still shocked by Zhu Yuhe's audacity to reveal her relationship with Xia Tian.

On the other hand, Wang Xinruo laughed heartily at the people's reaction; she had already imagined they would be extremely shocked to hear that two powerful women in the southern continent were willing to share a husband with so many women.

Wang Yu, who was standing behind Shui Yan, was also shocked to hear that, his eyes widened in shock, and his jaw dropped open. He had never imagined that Xia Tian managed to win the heart of the strongest woman. 'What the hell with that guy! No wonder he's so arrogant!'

Unfortunately, most of them still didn't know that there were women much stronger than Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan on Xia Tian's side.

Meanwhile, Xia Tian smiles contentedly at Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan's decision. Since they became his woman, they are forced to secretly live their relationship. But things have changed now, and they can live their relationship openly.

"Are you satisfied with their decision, Tian?" Liu Ying asked with a smile.

Xia Tian nodded to her. "Of course, I'm delighted with their decision."

After that, the event continued with the banquet, but the people didn't seem to enjoy it anymore, especially after they heard the two shocking news.

After the banquet was over, Xia Tian and the others immediately returned to the Xia Residence and discussed their plans for going to the Holy Central Continent.

After they finished discussing everything, Zhu Yuhe said to him. "Tian, I want Old Ling to become the King of Zhu Kingdom."

"Oh?" Xia Tian was surprised to hear that; he then turned to his grandparents. "What do you think about it, Grandpa, Grandma?"


Xia Ling sighed softly. "I have already discussed it with your grandmother about it; I am not willing to become the King of the Zhu Kingdom."

"Hmm? Why is that?" Xia Tian asked with a raised eyebrow.

Leng Youxin then explained to him. "Little Tian, we are both old, so we don't want to be burdened with the responsibility of taking care of a kingdom, and we just want to spend the rest of our lives in peace."

"All right, if you are unwilling, I will not force you." Xia Tian then said to Zhu Yuh. "Since they don't agree, I think it would be better if you appointed Old Xiao as the King of the Zhu kingdom."

"Ling Xiao?" Zhu Yuhe was surprised to hear that, and she thought for a while before nodding in agreement. "All right, I will contact Old Xiao later. If he agrees, I will hand over the Zhu Kingdom to him."

Suddenly, two women walked into the main hall, and they were Yan Qiangying and Yan Chenyu, and Xia Tian asked them. "Why did you two come here?"
