Chapter 1777: Chapter 1777: Abandoning the Throne for Me—Do You Regret It? (1)
Before recalling the past life memories, he only preserved his inner strength, but he forgot all his martial arts.
He mistakenly thought that inner strength was a special ability.
Now that he remembers, he naturally also recalls the martial arts from a thousand years ago.
However, they are quite rusty and need to be practiced anew.
He reached out, pinched her cheek, "A beauty who brings ruin."
The term "a beauty who brings ruin" really is apt to describe her.
For her, he even forsook his kingdom.
Only for her.
Xia Weibao was pinched and grimaced, "Who are you calling a beauty who brings ruin? Don’t pin the blame on me."
"Calling you, ah. What kind of knockout drug did Her Majesty the Empress give me, making me willingly love the beauty and not the kingdom?"
Xia Weibao pulled down his hand, pouting, and looked at him with a bit of a grudge.
"Historically, foolish emperors who lost their kingdoms would always blame women, so innocent."
Lu Hualiang laughed, "I haven’t lost my kingdom."
He gave up the kingdom when the Great Xia Kingdom was at its most prosperous!
The territory he conquered, he handed over to their son.
"Hmph, go ahead and boast then." Her Majesty the Empress snorted.
The grudging expression suddenly fell serious, and she looked at him earnestly, "Your Majesty, do you regret it?"
"Regret what?" Lu Hualiang asked while picking up the documents.
"Regret giving up the throne for me?"
What merit and capability does she have to make him give up such a glorious kingdom and search for her over ten lifetimes?
A thousand years of searching, has he ever regretted it?
Lu Hualiang paused flipping through the documents, his gaze distant, "Empress, in order to find you, I reincarnated ten times, living ten lives, over a thousand years.
During this long passage of time, I’ve been an emperor, a poet, a movie star, and even the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch you once dreamed of becoming, I’ve held varied identities and experienced different lives.
In every life, I stood at the pinnacle, in that position admired by thousands.
Yet, during those days at the pinnacle of humanity, I didn’t smile a single day, living like a walking corpse, the sole belief sustaining me was finding you.
Money, fame, status, power, I lacked nothing, but I wasn’t happy.
In this life, before meeting you, I lived busy and numb; genuinely understanding happiness and sorrow came after marrying you.
My first smile also came after finding you.
Do you think I might regret?"
Many people are enamored with power, however, it’s lonely at the top; what’s the point if standing at the peak of humanity, no one’s there to share it with?
He likes to command the power of the world; any ambitious man yearns for supreme authority.
But the premise is, while commanding the power of the world, he can also enjoy the beauty at his lap.
The sole purpose of conquering the world was one.
To give her a lifetime of peace.
Her Majesty the Empress was moved to tears, wishing she could immediately offer herself!
Yet thinking about the consequence of her initiative being lying in bed for several days, her expression slightly changed, and she forcibly pushed back the thought of offering herself.
She hugged his arm and nuzzled, "Your Majesty, you’re really good to me."
Lu Hualiang turned his head, rubbed his cheek against her head, and continued reading the documents.
"Once we resolve the matter with Long Xuanye, I’ll take you on a world tour."
He thought for a moment, added, "To the grasslands you want to visit."
An promise from the past life had been delayed until now.
Xia Weibao was momentarily stunned, suddenly said, "I don’t want to go to the grasslands anymore."
