Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“You have to play two roles. Liu Suifeng can’t disappear at the border. Otherwise, they will be in danger in Eastern Darkness.”

Liu Suifeng blurted out after hearing this. “What about you? If I pretend to be you, what are you going to do?”

“Of course I’ll go to Eastern Darkness,” Shi said naturally.

Liu Suifeng’s mouth twitched. “You…”

“No refusal is acceptable. You just come here at the right time. I need you to do something for me, and I’ll set off later.” He had planned to leave here tomorrow night. Now that Liu Suifeng was here, he could leave now.

Liu Suifeng had to accept such result.

Even if he was very speechless, he was still forced to stay.

Then, Shi left the border of Tianlong Dynasty late at night, and he left alone!

All the Shadow Guardians were left to Liu Suifeng to lead.

Liu Suifeng was left there helplessly… He looked at the tent above his head very sadly, and even… had the urge to cry!

Why wasn’t it Shi who stayed here to disguise as him? Why was Shi the one who left?

Was it just because Shi was the empress?

He was bullying him indeed! He had gone too far!

Long was now in the Imperial City of Eastern Darkness, having no idea that Shi had come to him.

And now, he was peddling his goods.

Their smuggling caravan had some trouble in the past few days.

They were targeted by a group of dudes.

In fact, they didn’t see it coming at all.

Two days ago, a girl brought her maid and bought some gadgets from their stall.

The girl also praised their stuff, and then said a few words to Wang Shu.

The problem was: the girl was a dude’s fiancée.

And the dude was actually the only child of a first-class official of the Imperial City of Eastern Darkness, and had been extremely spoiled since childhood.

Therefore, that man even hated Long and his team for this.

He had been bringing people to pick a fight in the last few days.

That was indeed a disaster that Long had never expected!

Long was also helpless.

On this day, the dude once again went to them.

Wang Mao almost kicked their asses out of anger, but he held his emotions back in the end.

Wang Qi was a tolerant person, carefully apologizing and negotiating with them.

Long tried his best to make himself invisible, hoping this could get to an end soon.

However, at this moment, one of the dudes still fought against one of them.

Then, one person was thrown away! Falling right beside Long!

“Ah!” Long was taken aback, hiding instinctively.

However, he might be lucky enough to hide from the person.

But the dudes were completely angry.

“Go! Go! Come on! Catch all of them for me!”

The dude screamed, and then all of his subordinates rushed over.

Long frowned.

Wang Qi hurriedly said, “Childe, it’s our fault. Please don’t mind. We are willing to compensate your loss. Please don’t be mad at us, Childe!”

As Wang Qi said that, he glared at Wang Mao fiercely.

Wang Mao flinched, knowing he had made a mistake.

They were here for a big plan. How could they fail just because of such a trivial matter? However, Wang Qi’s begging for mercy did not ease the man’s anger. He was still in great rage and even called his men to rush in.

Just when Long couldn’t help joining the fight, a gentle voice sounded.

“Stop.”

All the people present, including Long, looked towards the speaker.

Long squinted his eyes.

What a… handsome man.

The man was dressed in white, having a handsome face. Most importantly… he looked gentle and elegant.

This man was the kind who would always attract others’ attention whenever he showed up.

However, Long frowned.

A graceful man like him must be cultivated by someone powerful.

But being noticed by powerful people was not so good!

Long narrowed his eyes.

The dude also looked over, feeling slightly stunned. “Who are you?”

“Me?” The handsome man approached them, “A man believes in injustice.”

“You’re trying to get yourself killed!” The dude suddenly became cold, and then said angrily, “You’d better leave here immediately, or I’ll catch you too!”

“Why don’t I know that the son of a first-class official of Eastern Darkness is so capable of arresting anyone he wants in the Imperial City? Why? Can you represent the law?”

The handsome man looked at the dude with a faint smile, but there was coldness in his eyes.

The dude seemed to be frightened first, but then he became angry. “What the hell are you?! I’ve never seen you before, so you must be pretending! I’ll just warn you one last time! Don’t be nosy, or you will be damned!”

The handsome man was not scared at all when he heard that, but smiled slightly. “Oh? Is it me who is going to suffer something bad? I’d like to know how.”

The dude frowned slightly, and then ordered, “Come on, hurry up and get him arrested!”

His men rushed towards the handsome man.

The dude didn’t notice the situation, but the two dudes who came with him seemed to realize something… They turned around and ran away!

But the dude failed to notice that.

However, Long noticed it, figuring inside that this handsome man seemed to have a powerful background.

Just when those people rushed towards the handsome man, a figure rushed over from the corner of the street.

He was extremely fast that it only took almost an instant for him to reach the handsome man, and then he confronted these guys directly.

Those men fell almost within a blink…

Long’s eyes turned narrower. “Wang Shu, what do you think of this man’s martial arts?”

Wang Shu’s expression was a bit solemn, “At least he is capable to fight against Brother Qi.”

Long’s gaze turned sharp, wondering why the man was here. He doubted that the man was just doing this for maintaining justice.

If not… Then the man was here for them?

Was it possible that they were exposed?

But that was impossible, right?

Moreover, even if they were exposed, others might not be so blatant if they wanted to approach them.

If so… the only possibility was that the man was here to test their limits!

Thinking of this, Long had already known how to respond.

When Long lost in his thoughts, that man defeated all the men except the dude who was now standing there alone.

The handsome man enjoined lightly, “Take him to the feudal official.”

“Yes, Master.” The skilled man grabbed the scared dude and left…

After that, the handsome man looked at Long and the others, and then walked over with a smile.

Wang Qi’s eyes flickered slightly, but he greeted him immediately. “Thank you for your kindness, Childe. Thank you, I am so grateful.”

The handsome man smiled slightly. “I see a problem, so I take it upon myself. Hope you don’t take it seriously.”

“Sure…” Wang Qi continued the conversation with the man without delay.

The handsome man also cooperated well.

It didn’t take long for Wang Qi to invite the man to dinner to show his gratitude.

Surprisingly, that handsome man… agreed with his proposal for some reason!
