Chapter 169 The Past of Sima Huan

Thanks to Sima Huan's meticulous planning, he quickly uncovered Tao Yao's true nature.

Upon learning that Tao Yao possessed superb medical skills that could bring the dead back to life and the extraordinary ability to make all flowers bloom, Sima Huan became even more attentive and friendly towards her.

Sima Huan was tall and handsome, and if he wanted to, he could easily utter sweet words and was very good at making people happy.

Soon, Tao Yao confided in him and listened to his every word.

Sima Huan seized the opportunity to bring Tao Yao to the forefront, spreading his extraordinary abilities throughout the land.

He guided everyone to regard Tao Yao as the Holy Son, and Sima Huan was the chosen one of the Holy Sons, and naturally, he was the rightful candidate to unify the world as emperor.

As he had expected, with Tao Yao's help, he successfully unified the world in less than three years, becoming the sole emperor of the entire dynasty, revered by all people, and enjoying boundless glory.

After he ascended the throne, a mountain of memorials were submitted requesting him to select concubines.

In front of Tao Yao, he destroyed all the memorials and deliberately emphasized that he would not take any concubines, and that it would not matter if he had no children in his life.

In his plan, the innocent Tao Yao would definitely not be able to bear seeing him without an heir after hearing this, and would take the initiative to persuade him to choose a concubine or even help him take a concubine.

When the time came, he would pretend to refuse but couldn't, so he would go with the flow and reluctantly accept.

He didn't like Tao Yao, so he naturally avoided close contact with her.

He was attracted to charming and alluring women.

Tao Yao is naive and easily deceived. Giving her the title of Empress would allow her to continue working for him while also giving the world an explanation. It's a win-win situation, so why not?

In Sima Huan's view, giving Tao Yao the empty title of Empress was already more than enough.

Unexpectedly, Tao Yao did not follow the script he had set; she was not only naive but also quite foolish.

Upon learning that Sima Huan needed an heir, he broke off a peach branch from the peach tree he was possessing and watered it with his blood every day.

Six months later, Taozhi transformed into a ten-year-old child before Sima Huan's eyes.

Without much hesitation, Sima Huan took the opportunity to announce to the public that the child was his and Tao Yao's child, the Little Holy Son, and issued an edict to establish the Little Holy Son as the Crown Prince.

As for the issue of children growing up quickly, the excuse was that the Holy Son is not an ordinary person, and the little Holy Son is naturally different from ordinary people.

This further solidified his rule.

His deep affection became widely known and was talked about by the people.

As for not being able to recruit more beauties to fill his harem, although it was a bit of a regret, the palace maids serving him were of all shapes and sizes, and he had no shortage of women to warm his bed, so it didn't have much of an impact.

After this incident, the officials stopped urging Sima Huan to take concubines, and rumors circulated among the people that the empress was twins and could bear children.

Knowing that Tao Yao possessed extraordinary abilities, Sima Huan conceived the idea of ​​sending her out to find a longevity elixir for himself.

He worried that Tao Yao might never return, or that she might find the medicinal herb and hide it from him.

Thinking that finding the medicine wouldn't take long and that the current political situation was stable, he let the young emperor temporarily handle state affairs and went along with him.

Following his intuition, Tao Yao traveled all the way to the vicinity of Xiling Mountain and sensed fluctuations in spatial power. At that time, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he instinctively diverted most of his spiritual power to protect himself and Sima Huan, so as to prevent them from being injured by the fluctuating spatial power.

He then used a wisp of power equivalent to that of the Golden Core stage to test the barrier, but unexpectedly, this test sent him back to the Canglan Continent.

Sima Huan, who was with him, was also teleported to the Canglan Continent.

From then on, Sima Huan's life completely deviated from his plans.

Upon returning to the Canglan Continent, Tao Yao's body was cleansed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and she regained all her memories within a few days.
