Chapter 181.1
On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, it was an auspicious and propitious day, a time of great fortune for all under heaven.
Great Xia decided to hold the Grand Coronation Ceremony on this day, officially announcing to the world that from this day forward, the Great Xia Kingdom would ascend to the status of the Great Xia Dynasty, becoming one of the worlds most powerful nations.
Lin Beifan declared a national holiday for this grand ceremony, allowing the entire nation to celebrate together.
As a result, the common people of the capital city all came, even those from further away hurried over to witness this historic moment.
A million citizens gathered shoulder to shoulder, a sea of people gathered in the square in front of the new imperial palace.
Fortunately, this place was newly built and spacious enough to accommodate so many people.
Today is the day Great Xia establishes its dynasty!
Weve been looking forward to this for so long, and its finally here today. I made a special trip from outside to come!
With the establishment of the dynasty, we will have good days ahead!
The common people were overjoyed.
The establishment of a dynasty was a top-tier celebration for them!
A countrys rise to a dynasty signified that the nation was becoming stronger and more stable!
Living in such a country gave them a sense of security.
They also sincerely hoped that Great Xia would continue to grow stronger and that their Emperor would remain in his position to ensure that their happy lives would continue.
At this time, as the auspicious hour had not yet arrived, Lin Beifan was receiving guests from all quarters within the imperial palace.
An old monk with a face full of compassion approached Lin Beifan with his hands clasped together and said, Amitabha! Today is the day Great Xia establishes its Dynasty! This poor monk represents the Buddhist Sect and wishes His Majesty endless blessings, may Great Xia prosper forever!
Lin Beifan smiled warmly, Thank you, Master Jiechen, and thank you also for the goodwill of the Buddhist Sect!
The old monk before him was none other than Master Jiechen, who had once stopped Great Xia from attacking the Great Feng Dynasty.
His injuries were mostly healed, and he came representing the Buddhist Sect.
Although the Buddhist Sect had been at odds with Great Xia, they still sent someone to participate, showing a certain goodwill.
After all, the rivers and lakes were not just about fighting and killing but also about human relationships and the ways of the world.
As long as it wasnt a life-and-death enemy, there was no need to fight to the death. Compromise when necessary.
The Buddhist Sect, with its long heritage, was clear about such matters.
Tonight, I will host a grand banquet to entertain guests from all quarters, and I hope the master will attend! I have ordered vegetarian dishes and non-alcoholic wine to be prepared, ensuring that you will feel at home and enjoy the meal!
Your Majestys kindness is too great to decline! the old monk said with a smile on his face.
At that moment, a humble Taoist Master arrived.
Holding a whisk, he spoke solemnly, Immeasurable longevity to Your Majesty! I am Xuanming, a humble Taoist, and I have come to see His Majesty! On behalf of the Taoist Sect, I wish Great Xia everlasting prosperity and peace for the nation and its people!
Despite his unremarkable appearance, The Taoist Master Xuanming before him was also a Grandmaster.
The Taoist Sect sending a Grandmaster was a significant show of respect for Lin Beifan.
Following him was the Taoist disciple Song Yufei, who nodded slightly to Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan laughed heartily, I am very grateful for the Taoist Masters presence and also for the goodwill of the Taoist Sect!
Just then, a purple figure accompanied by a black figure floated in.
Master Jiechen and Taoist Master Xuanming were shocked.
Why did this witch come here?
The surrounding guests were also taken aback and shocked.
Isnt that the big demoness of the Demon Sect? Why has she come here?
And look, the big and small witch arrived together!
On such a happy day are they here to cause trouble?
Some visitors are up to no good!
Some people had already secretly taken out their weapons, adding a tense chill to the atmosphere.
Lin Beifan smiled and said, Everyone, theres no need to be nervous. These two are my friends who have specially come to attend the grand ceremony of the Dynastys inauguration!
The crowd did not let down their guard and remained very tense.
Ignoring the gazes of those around her, Demon Sect leader Zi Liuli gracefully approached Lin Beifan like a fairy and said with a beaming smile, Your Majesty, may you be forever blessed! Today marks the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty. On behalf of the Demon Sect, I wish Great Xia everlasting prosperity and for the country to be as powerful as dragons!
Well-said! Thank you, Leader Zi and the Demon Sect, for your goodwill! Lin Beifan nodded.
Witch, why have you come? Master Jiechen asked with a wary face.
Although he was also a Grandmaster, the other partys strength far exceeded his, which warranted his caution.
The Taoist Master beside him had already gathered his full energy, ready for a big fight at any moment.
Zi Liulis eyes twinkled, and with a slight smile, she said, If you all can come, why cant I? Our Demon Sect has an inseparable relationship with Great Xia!
An inseparable relationship?
This brief statement set the two Grandmasters imaginations running wild.
It was known that when Great Xia expanded its territory, it closed all the temples and Taoist temples within its lands and expelled all the monks and Taoists, regardless of the cost or consequences.
They had never understood why Great Xia would do such a thing.
Offending both their Buddhist Sect and Taoist Sect was very unwise.
Now they finally realized it must have been the Demon Sect causing trouble behind the scenes.
Great Xia must have been ensnared by the Demon Sect long ago!
It must have been the Demon Sects instigation that led them to commit such heinous acts.
So Great Xia is within the sphere of influence of your Demon Sect?
Your Demon Sect acts really fast!
To this, Demon Sect leader Zi Liuli just smiled without speaking, leaving behind a meaningful smile.
Lin Beifan glared fiercely at her.
No wonder this woman was known as a witch; she seemed dignified and noble, but she was full of cunning tricks, managing to tie Great Xia and the Demon Sect together in just a few words.
Dont misunderstand; its just a business relationship!
Lin Beifan laughed: But its true that the Great Xias rapid development over the years could not have happened without the support of the Demon Sect!
Monk Jiechen and Taoist Master Xuanming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So, it was just a business relationship.
If Great Xia really took the side of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect would gain another Grandmaster, which would be detrimental to the development of their two sects.
However, the relationship between the Demon Sect and Great Xia was not shallow.
At that moment, Yaoyao from the Demon Sect and Song Yufei from the Taoist Sect locked eyes.
Yaoyao glared and asked, Why have you come?
This humble girl is a friend of His Majesty. The establishment of the Dynasty is such a grand celebration; naturally, I have come to attend! What about you, enchantress? What are you doing here? Song Yufei replied coolly.
I am also a good friend of His Majesty!
Yaoyao puffed out her chest: I am here to attend the ceremony as well!
Really? I dont think so, Song Yufei expressed her doubt.
Hey! Whats with that look? Yaoyao got angry.
You know very well what kind of person you are! Song Yufei scoffed coldly.
I
Lin Beifan raised his voice, Enough! Youre all on the same side, stop arguing!
Whos on the same side? the two women said in unison.
How can you not be?
Lin Beifan said with a smile: Youre both patrons of Great Xia, naturally, youre on the same side!
What?! Both women were shocked.
Yaoyao pulled Lin Beifan aside to a corner, anxiously saying, Lin Beifan, why are you so indiscriminate? How could you bring such a nasty woman into Great Xia?
Lin Beifan was indignant, Who says Im indiscriminate? Look at her. She has the looks and a good figure, strong martial arts, and a deep background. Plus, shes gentle, considerate, and kind. Who wouldnt love a woman like that?
Yaoyao was furious, Thats not what I mean! What Im saying is that woman is no simple character, and shes from the Taoist Sect. Arent you afraid she has ulterior motives and might swallow up your Great Xia?
Lin Beifan smiled proudly, Im not worried at all!
Why not?
To get Great Xia, one must first win me over!
Lin Beifan chuckled, Thats why, unless she can win me over in bed, she wont get any advantage from me!
Yaoyao:
Yaoyao, actually, you could do it too!
Yaoyao was confused, I could do what?
Lin Beifans hands rested on her slender shoulders, his tone serious, Im a soft-hearted person. If you can win me over in bed, whatever you want, I can give it to you!
Yaoyao:
At that moment, she was so angry she wanted to pinch Lin Beifan.
But considering the circumstances, she just glared at Lin Beifan secretly and whispered, Ill deal with you later!
