Chapter 1344 - 36: A Bountiful Harvest! Digging Pits to Set People Up

Back before Wang Shouzhe transmigrated, humanity had already made fairly deep progress in genetic research. But if it hadn’t been for all the strict shackles and restrictions imposed by various countries, who knows how many monsters among those scientists would’ve stirred up trouble, or what kinds of twisted things they would’ve come up with.

That Blood Venerable fellow—sure, the Wang Family took a lot of advantage from him, and in the end he did fight to protect the Human Race and died on the battlefield. But many of his theories and ideas were still something Wang Shouzhe simply couldn’t accept.

Merit is merit, fault is fault.

The guy was way too extreme and way too crazy.

If it hadn’t been for His Majesty the Saint Emperor’s restriction and suppression, who knows whether he might’ve cobbled together some terrifying Blood Divine Dynasty, then start large-scale human experimentation whenever he didn’t like something.

"Luojing, you can ponder and reference the Blood Venerable’s path, but you mustn’t imitate it. He’s far too extreme when it comes to bloodline research." Wang Shouzhe said earnestly, "Your big brother would much rather you carve out your own Path of Lingxu, and your own True Immortal Dao in the future. It doesn’t matter if you walk slow—our whole family will walk together, steadily."

"All I ask is that our family can live peacefully and steadily, not go around trying to dominate the world and conquer the universe or something."

Wang Shouzhe was indeed somewhat worried about Luojing, worried she might go to extremes in pursuit of power. After all, this girl had been rather extreme and radical since childhood, with a very deep mind. Many times, he honestly couldn’t guess what Luojing was thinking.

In the entire Wang Family, the only one who could get her to behave was probably just her Fourth Brother—himself.

"Mm, Fourth Brother, I’ll listen to you in everything." Wang Luojing nodded obediently. "Rest assured, I won’t mess around. Besides, what I like is just being a Spirit Insect Master; I have no interest in researching bloodlines and such."

"As for dominating the world or conquering the universe, if Fourth Brother is interested, I’ll accompany you. If Fourth Brother’s ambition isn’t there, then I don’t really care either."

With that, Wang Shouzhe was relieved.

After all, the Blood Venerable’s precedent was still right before their eyes—Wang Shouzhe absolutely did not want Luojing to follow in his footsteps.

"Your Majesty, now you can be at ease, right?" Wang Shouzhe looked at Emperor Longchang with a smiling face. "Our Wang Family, even though we did benefit from the Wedding Robe Blood Gu, will absolutely not walk the Blood Venerable’s old path of opposing the Human Race and society."

"Haha, I just tagged along to watch the fun; it’s not that I don’t trust Shouzhe." After Emperor Longchang’s true purpose was exposed, his expression was somewhat embarrassed. "Your Wang Family has always stood upright and straight. Especially you, Shouzhe—your temperament is mild, you’re not one for disputes, so you absolutely won’t head down the anti-human route."

"It’s just that old fellow Jiang Zhencang isn’t familiar with you, Shouzhe, so he’s not entirely at ease and insisted I come keep an eye on things."

"Understandable, understandable." Wang Shouzhe’s smile didn’t change. "Saint Master Jiang is the Master of the Saint Land, and the Saint Land’s duty is to protect the Human Race as its greatest goal. As for some of the forbidden technologies unearthed from the Blood Dawn Domain’s Saint Hall, our Wang Family will absolutely not claim them as our own, much less delve deeply into them."

Jiang Zhencang’s entrusting Emperor Longchang to come supervise was most likely because he feared Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t be able to resist temptation, would imitate the Blood Venerable and conduct large-scale human experimentation in secret, then step by step end up in opposition to the Immortal Dynasty.

Wang Shouzhe wasn’t stupid.

His Changning Wang Family had always been "roots correct and seedlings red," pure and clean. Their foundation now was already quite solid. As long as they followed their established plan and developed steadily, not rushing nor dragging, the Wang Family had a vast future ahead.

He’d have to be brain-damaged to swallow the Blood Venerable’s whole set of doctrines.

"Since Your Majesty no longer has doubts, then please step out for a bit. I have some private words to exchange with Luojing." Wang Shouzhe casually shooed him away.

"Hey~ Shouzhe, you brat really are more and more disregarding My presence." Emperor Longchang was so angry he was puffing whiskers and glaring, rolling up his sleeves. "With that attitude of yours, you’re going to lose Me, you know that?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down. The siblings want to talk in private, we really shouldn’t be butting in." Old Yao, helpless, grabbed Emperor Longchang, coaxing him as he dragged him out of the Blood Venerable’s secret Treasure Vault.

Old Yao was exhausted too—Shouzhe and His Majesty had never seemed to be in sync.

Whenever the two were together for more than a quarter-hour, they’d start butting heads and bickering.

As if they were born with incompatible temperaments.

After leaving the Treasure Vault, Emperor Longchang seemed still not entirely done venting. Muttering and cursing under his breath, he said, "Old Yao, that brat Wang Shouzhe must be used to playing local emperor. When he sees My sharp, awe-inspiring Great Emperor bearing, his heart fills with envy, jealousy, and hatred, so his words come out so prickly."

"Hey, if this were back when I was young and hot-tempered, I might well have let him experience firsthand what ’the Great Emperor’s might’ means! Humph. I’m only letting it slide for that brat’s sake because of Lady Ruolan, that’s all."

Old Yao rolled his eyes. "Your Majesty, Patriarch Shouzhe just finished helping you pay off your gambling debts. Can’t you at least remember that bit of kindness?"

"That’s true. Fine, fine—seeing as he’s a rich man, I won’t fuss with him too much." Emperor Longchang clasped his hands behind his back, his figure upright and imposing, wearing an expression of extraordinary bearing.

You had to admit, when Emperor Longchang wasn’t causing trouble, he really did look rather imperial on the outside—his "appearance" was honestly not bad.

"Grandmaster Great Emperor." At this moment, Wang Anye came dashing over in a hurry. "There are several huge pillars over there. The clan’s construction team didn’t bring enough equipment and can’t dismantle them. We’d like to trouble you to lend a hand."
