Chapter 225 Southern Continent Change
Even though the other three kingdoms did not join the war, they still sent some spies to monitor the war between Queen Zhu Yuhe and Emperor Hong Chen. However, they really did not expect that Queen Zhu Yuhe would come out victorious in the war, moreover that she could fight on par with Hong Chen, and also about the mysterious little girl who could stop Hong Chen’s spear strike with just one finger.
On the same day, news of the deaths of Hong Chen and Hong Li spread rapidly throughout the Southern Continent, and the entire population of the Zhu Kingdom cheered for their Queen’s victory.
With the outcome of the war, it was inevitable that Zhu Yuhe would succeed Hong Chen, and she will become the Empress of the Southern Continent, as she was currently the strongest in the continent. But it didn’t seem easy for her to ascend the throne as Empress, because there were still three other kingdoms, and the opinions of the three kingdoms were split in two. There were those who agreed that she would become the Empress, but there were also those who strongly objected to it. Even though she was as strong as Hong Chen, that didn’t change the fact that she was a woman, and they considered it unfit for a woman to be the leader.
Regardless of the opinion of the other three kingdoms, the ordinary citizens of the southern continent agreed with Zhu Yuhe to become the Empress. Moreover, in the past few weeks there had been quite a change in the Zhu Kingdom. Although Xia Tian’s design is not yet fully functional, most of it has been functioned by the royal officials.
Especially for the merchants of the Bai Kingdom, although they felt that the technology that was being built by the Zhu Kingdom was very similar to theirs, but all of the equipment seemed one step ahead, and they believed that the Zhu Kingdom would be better for their kingdom in the future.

Shui Kingdom
“What do you think of Queen Yuhe as the Empress of the southern continent, Xinruo?” Shui Lihao asked his concubine, especially after he remembered the mysterious Xia Tian beside Zhu Yuhe, Qin Shuang also looked at Wang Xinruo waiting for her answer.
Wang Xinruo sighed softly, and replied. “According to reports, there were several women who suddenly appeared, and from the characteristics of the women I was able to guess their identity, My King.”
“Hmm? You recognize the women?” Shui Lihao and Qin Shuang looked surprised by that.
Wang Xinruo answered Shui Lihao with a nod, then she continued. “The woman with long golden hair is Fan Jing, Queen of the Elf Race. And the other one is Fan Ying, little sister of Fan Jing. As for the little girl, there are very few people who know her real name, but her status is too extraordinary.”
“Elf Race? So the Elf Race is really real?” Qin Shuang asked in surprise, as she often read various literatures about other living beings besides humans, and one of them was about the Elf Race, moreover Wang Xinruo had also told them that she was not from the Seven Star World.
Wang Xinruo nodded again. “Elves do exist, Sister Shuang. And they live in the Nature Elven Realm.”
Shui Lihao raised his eyebrows as he sensed something odd about their sudden arrival. “Then why did they suddenly come to this planet? Moreover, they also helped Zhu Yuhe fight Hong Chen.”
“You don’t have to worry about them, My King. I’m sure that they came for Big Brother Tian, ??because that little girl is his Master, and Fan Jing has been infatuated with him for thousands of years.” Wang Xinruo’s answer made Shui Lihao and Qin Shuang gawk.

Huo Kingdom
“Hmm? Where are your shadows?” King Huo asked his son, Huo Jin.
Prince Huo was sweating from his father’s question, and he stuttered. “I… I… I assigned them to do something, Father.”
“Oh? What task did you give them?” King Huo asked with a frown, obviously he knew that his son was lying.
“Just ordinary tasks, Father.”
King Huo sighed softly, then said. “Emperor Hong Chen is dead, and Queen Yuhe became the victor of the war. So I warn you not to mess around in the territory of the Zhu Kingdom, especially with that man named Xia Tian, ??as his family relationship is very close to Queen Yuhe.”
“What!?” Huo Jin shouted softly, and looked at his father in disbelief, then he shouted angrily. “But he has humiliated me in front of so many people! How can I be silent without doing anything with such humiliation, Father!”
“Fool!” King Huo shouted, then gave his son a harsh lecture. “With your current mindset, you don’t deserve to be the crown prince! A man should know when he can advance, and when he should retreat!”
And they continued to argue, father and son were indeed very stubborn, but King Huo did not lose his composure towards his only son.

Shan Kingdom
“Which step do you think Zhu Yuhe will take, Advisor Huang?” The Shan King asked a middle-aged man dressed in all white with a fairly long white beard. .
“I can’t predict Zhu Yuhe’s next move, King Shan. We all know that she is not an ambitious woman, unless the man beside her gives him other ideas. Moreover, we don’t even know about the man’s identity, let alone the women.” Advisor Huang explained his tentative conclusion, as he himself wasn’t sure about the sudden changes in the Southern Continent. “But she does have the capital to become the Empress, especially in these past few weeks, I heard the news that the Zhu Kingdom is undergoing major changes, and we all know that she is highly respected-”
“But still she is a woman, so she is very unfit to lead this southern continent.” The Shan King interrupted Advisor Huang’s words with disdain, in his eyes only a man worthy of leading a country, much less a continent.
‘This fellow is too arrogant and doesn’t know the depths of the ocean.’ Advisor Huang inwardly sneered while shaking his head, he then turned around while saying. “By the way, I’m going back to the Holy Central Continent today, so you can decide your next move on your own, King Shan.”
