Dongfang Yanli's voice suddenly became louder, and Lin Ran realized that a major wave of tax evasion was about to begin.

Finally, amidst the magnificent waves, Lin Ran pressed his advantage, and the investigation surged deep into the Spirit Palace. Under such relentless pressure, Dongfang Yanli's fair legs trembled, and she couldn't control her moans.

Lin Ran, full of heroic spirit, grabbed Dongfang Yanli's hair and used this great demon as a mount to tour Yanli Palace.

To tame this powerful demon, Lin Ran used rough methods, but he knew that the demon's physical abilities were far beyond those of ordinary people. This roughness had no effect on the demon at all.

Although this great demon had already behaved very docilely, it could only passively accept the investigation during the egg-laying process and then whisper as it paid taxes.

But Lin Ran still treated it like a wild horse, using various actions to suppress it, making it feel like a prey being hunted and forced to submit.

On the one hand, although Lin Ran has given her a level of pleasure that Qinglian Emperor has never given her, this does not necessarily mean that she will become an obedient member of the Crystal Palace.

After all, she was a powerful demon, and it was necessary to plant the seeds of obedience in her heart using this primal and wild method. On the other hand, the feeling of being able to do whatever one wanted was indeed quite enjoyable.

Lan Xing rarely disregarded the other person's feelings like this, even though Lin Ran had the ability to transform pain and prevent the other person from getting hurt.

The great demon before us is different. It cannot be considered strictly human. Although we do not know what its true form is, demons are never human to begin with.

Furthermore, Lin Ran had no feelings for him, which allowed him to wholeheartedly enjoy the process of taming.

Fortunately, there were no eunuchs in the imperial palace of this world, and even the palace maids in the Flame Glass Palace were pitifully few. In the vast glass palace, apart from the beautiful scenery, there was only the scream of Dongfang Yanli.

Finally, when Lin Ran had finished investigating the entire Yanli Palace while riding Dongfang Yanli, Dongfang Yanli had collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

His body was covered in traces of tax evasion and burn marks discovered during the investigation.

Its whole body looked like it had taken a not-so-clean milk bath and then been pulled out.

Her expression was extremely lewd; although it lacked the refined beauty of before, it was still very alluring, and Lin Ran liked looking at it. Lin Ran didn't stand on ceremony, plopping down on her stomach to rest.

As Lin Ran gained weight, some white fluid was squeezed out of her lower abdomen.

However, this is a minor issue. After all, she is a powerful demon, and the physical strength of demons is their forte. Not to mention mortals, even cultivators cannot compare to demons of the same realm in terms of physical strength.

The real problem is that her Achilles' heel is her navel.

As soon as Lin Ran sat down, he noticed that, in addition to the garden, a large amount of white residue had been squeezed out from his stomach. After all, Lin Ran had left a lot of residue here during his investigation.

This left Lin Ran somewhat helpless, so he had to use some methods that couldn't be explicitly stated to help Dongfang Yanli regain some clarity from her dazed state.

Then we went to the bathhouse together.

Taking two showers a night is part of Lin Ran's daily routine.

In the bath, Dongfang Yanli gradually awoke from the afterglow, though she could still faintly feel the lingering pleasure.

She also thought of Lin Ran's extremely rude behavior during the investigation.

But she wasn't particularly angry. On one hand, Lin Ran had indeed given her such a wonderful experience, making her feel like she was reborn. On the other hand, although demons also possess intelligence, their concepts differ greatly from those of humans.

She wasn't particularly offended by Lin Ran's bullying behavior. Her innate wildness made the demon race naturally eager to experience all sorts of novel things. Lin Ran had given her such an experience, so she forgave him. She wasn't as concerned about "face" as human high-ranking people.

"Little brother, your name is Lin Ran, right? From now on, you will live in Yanli Palace. I will guarantee you wealth and honor." Dongfang Yanli hugged Lin Ran affectionately. Most demons follow their beastly nature.

Lin Ran made her feel very comfortable, which immediately made her feel very close to him.

And she wanted to continue having this experience in the future. "So am I still only half your husband now?" Lin Ran asked back, his hand mischievously grabbing at Nai Bai.

"You're so mean! Don't you know you should be gentler with girls?" Dongfang Yanli said coquettishly, but did not push Lin Ran away.

Because of her physique, although she looked sweet and soft, Lin Ran, a mere mortal, couldn't actually hurt her even with all his strength. After a tender moment, the two fell asleep together.

The next day, Lin Ran brought his other Crystal Palace women to live in the Flame Glass Palace. This made Dongfang Flame Glass a little jealous, and she pestered Lin Ran to give her vital points a few more times for training. At noon, Emperor Qing Shuo, having finished his court meeting, came to visit his Empress.

But Dongfang Yanli didn't give her any face at all. Instead, she demanded that Emperor Qingshuo not call her Li'er when he came to Yanli Palace in the future.

"My only husband right now is Lin Ran. You are not worthy of him! How dare a piece of trash like you call me Li'er? Li'er is not a name you can use."

"From now on, you can only call me Grandma, and you must bow and ask permission before entering the Flame Glass Palace."

"From now on, when you see Lin Ran, you have to call him 'ancestor,' understand?" Lin Ran watched from the side, also marveling at the sight.

However, although Dongfang Yanli's words were very humiliating and harsh.

But it's not that she's completely changed her mind and has no feelings for Emperor Qing Shuo anymore. Rather, she knows that Emperor Qing Shuo is cuckolded, so she deliberately says those things.

However, that arrogant demeanor after her change of heart really gave Emperor Qing Shuo a good jolt to his cuckolded desires.

While Dongfang Yanli had never been particularly kind or gentle to him in the past, this harsh and arrogant side of her was truly the first time he had ever seen her like this.

Moreover, this wasn't something Dongfang Yan had learned from storybooks before; it was just a quote from a woman playing an adulterous character.

Dongfang Yanli has truly cheated on his wife, and he's doing so openly and arrogantly. This has greatly provoked Emperor Qing Shuo.

So much so that he actually trembled and agreed to Dongfang Yanli's order. "Li. Grandma, I misspoke."

Seeing the king's submissive demeanor, Lin Ran sighed inwardly, thinking how miserable the men of this world were.

However, Qing Liandai didn't feel miserable. Although he felt endless humiliation, he also felt a strong sense of joy. How fortunate he was to have met someone like Lin Ran, who could so cruelly betray him!

Chapter 171 Beauty Pageant

Dongfang Yanli made no attempt to hide her intimate relationship with Lin Ran in front of Emperor Qingshuo. When she and Lin Ran were talking to Emperor Qingshuo, they were separated by a floral curtain. Emperor Qingshuo could only imagine what Lin Ran and she were doing behind the curtain.

Every now and then, Dongfang Yanli would let out a cry, something he had never heard Dongfang Yanli cry out like that before.

Behind the scenes, Lin Ran then asked Emperor Qing Shuo about cultivators, revealing that he didn't just want to be on the Beauty Ranking in the Qunfeng Dynasty; he also wanted to be on the Fairy Ranking in the world of immortal cultivators.

Emperor Qinglian also gave a general explanation of the connection between the cultivation world and their dynasty's royal family.

The cultivation world is filled with numerous sects, large and small, each with its own sphere of influence. The mortal dynasties within these spheres of influence serve as a resource for these sects.

However, the Immortal Alliance does not allow sects to excessively interfere in the mortal realm. In other words, the Immortal Alliance only has the right to make deals with dynasties.

At the same time, sects have no obligation to protect dynasties, and dynasties in this world still change.

Lin Ran generally agreed with the Immortal Alliance's rule, since cultivators and mortals were not on the same level in terms of strength.

Excessive interference can lead to societal decay and prevent updates. Emperor Qing Shuo then brought up the matter of the Immortal Alliance again.

Many years ago, in order to resist demons and evil cultivators, the cultivation sects formed an Immortal Alliance.

Named the Guiyi Immortal Alliance, its leader is the Guiyi Holy Land, one of the five great holy lands. The Guiyi Holy Land is able to command respect mainly because of its powerful strength.

Furthermore, the Guiyi Holy Land has made their cultivation technique, the Guiyi Immortal Manual, publicly available. As a public resource of the Immortal Alliance, all cultivators can practice it.

Moreover, among the major holy lands, the cultivation of immortal techniques in other holy lands requires specific requirements or environments. However, the Unity Immortal Technique has extremely excellent universality, and everyone can cultivate it.

Furthermore, the Guiyi Holy Land advocates peace and regards inter-sect warfare as a crime of the Immortal Alliance.

The Immortal Alliance also actively eliminates the group of independent cultivators, helps them join sects, and provides a platform for them to make friends. Those with similar aspirations can form a new sect together.

Back then, the Immortal Alliance was able to lead humanity to victory against the demon camp.

A major reason for this is that the rules of the Immortal Alliance protect the survival of human cultivators. At the same time, it greatly expands the flow of fresh blood into the cultivation world.

Before the Immortal Alliance was established, cultivation techniques were extremely rare, and establishing a sect was even more difficult. Now, the Immortal Alliance is helping to solve these problems.

On one hand, they prohibited internal strife, and on the other hand, they expanded their ranks with fresh blood, greatly increasing the strength of the human faction. Hearing this, Lin Ran felt that the Immortal Alliance was quite good.

However, we are now too far removed from the era when the Immortal Alliance was founded.

The sects that survived the early battle between immortals and demons, as leaders, almost divided up the world's most precious territory.

Although immortal sects don't rely on the land to grow food for survival like mortals, a sect's strength largely depends on the resources it possesses. Vast territories provide ample opportunities for finding immortal opportunities, and those blessed lands and caves that offer extraordinary fortune consistently produce such opportunities. These resources were highly coveted by sects before the establishment of the Immortal Alliance.

The scrambling has been forcibly suppressed, but the problem won't disappear.

The sects that were formed later didn't even have their own territory; every piece of land had an owner.

A large number of sects were merged, and now the five holy lands have developed into terrifying behemoths. These holy lands were not once holy lands, but simply the strongest sects.

But after a long period of accumulation, it has now become an unshakeable mountain in the world.

The rules of the Immortal Alliance protect their development, and they, in turn, defend the Immortal Alliance. That's why the sects listen to the Immortal Alliance so much.

The Qingyun Prefecture, where the Qunfeng Dynasty is located, is within the sphere of influence of the Immortal Sect Lantian Sect.

Ganglan Heavenly Sect forbids its disciples from violating the rules of the Immortal Alliance and does not allow them to have too much involvement with the dynasty's royal family. The disciple responsible for contacting Emperor Qingshuo generally ignores Emperor Qingshuo unless there is a reason. Lin Ran nodded in understanding.

He didn't particularly enjoy chatting with Emperor Qing Shuo, and after getting the information he wanted, he simply told him to leave.

After Emperor Qing Shuo left, Lin Ran undid Dongfang Yanli's clothes and carried her flawless white body to the bath.

Other women brought by Lin Ran were also in the bath, including Fang Chunxiu and An Hongdou. The Qunfeng Dynasty was located in many parts of the mountains, and many areas within these mountains were relatively arid.

A bathhouse like this is already considered a very good recreational facility here. As Lin Ran approached, the women greeted him one after another.

Although this is Emperor Qing Shuo's palace, Lin Ran felt that this was the life of an emperor.

Lin Ran carried Dongfang Yanli into the water, where they frolicked with the women. When the mood struck them, they would pick one up and start chiseling.

Usually, when Lin Ran starts chiseling, the other women lose interest in playing in the water and come over to fawn over him.

While Lin Ran was drinking and rummaging through the garden among the women, Emperor Qing Shuo was handling another matter assigned by Lin Ran.

"A decree is to be issued that a national beauty pageant be held one month from now to select the most beautiful woman in the country, who will be rewarded with wealth and honor and have her fame spread far and wide."

"Furthermore, I hereby appoint Lin Ran as the National Preceptor of the Qunfeng Dynasty," Emperor Qing Shuo said to his ministers.

This was Lin Ran's idea; it would be a waste to leave all the beauties in this world unused.

Lin Ran naturally felt it was her duty to shoulder the mission of allowing the beauty of women to demonstrate its value.

However, Lin Ran was too lazy to search for them one by one herself, so she directly asked Emperor Qing Shuo to hold a beauty pageant to attract beauties from all over the country to the capital.

The beauty pageant rules state that contestants are not required to be married, since all men in this world are eunuchs anyway. After winning the prize, the winner will discuss the art of life with the imperial advisor, Lin Ran.

Let the Imperial Advisor Lin Ran assess whether this beauty's inner qualities are as outstanding as her outer appearance.

After all, the most perfect beauty cannot just be good-looking; ideally, she should also have an interesting soul and a kind character.

Of course, these were just excuses; the real intention was for Lin Ran to make them bloom. Only those that satisfied Lin Ran would receive a prize and remain in the palace.

The wealth and luxury were real, after all, those contestants had sent beauties from afar. It was only right that they received some rewards for winning, since it didn't cost Lin Ran any money.

When Emperor Qing Shuo's imperial edict reached all parts of the Qunfeng Dynasty, the people were in an uproar. This was not merely due to their shock at the competition.

Another reason is that the situation in the Qunfeng Dynasty is now quite unstable.

Instead of rebuilding the military and resolving internal and external troubles, why is the emperor holding a beauty pageant at this time? However, those whose living conditions are still decent are all getting excited.

Those with a penchant for cuckoldry were all tempted when they saw the imperial edict's stipulation that beautiful women meeting the criteria should be carefully appraised by the Imperial Advisor.
