BONUS CHAPTERS

Liu Hongli was given the nickname Young Emperor because he was appointed Emperor when he was 18 years old. But not long ago he took the lead, he just left without the knowledge of anyone and without giving a reason. No one knew where the young Emperor had gone.

Back then, Liu Hongli was chosen to be Emperor when the previous Emperor was ill. He was the father of Liu Hongli who appointed Liu Hongli to be Emperor. He pointed it out because he felt that his third son could be a good leader. Liu Hongli's father did not appoint his first son because his first son was a man of too much ambition for power.

He also knows, his third son is a person who does not care about the lives of others. He was just selfish. So if the people get into trouble, chances are that his first son will not care about the people. It can make the people suffer and it is likely that the people will put up a fight against the empire.

While his third son has a great sense of empathy for others. His third son also often slipped out without the knowledge of others to meet the people of the poor and he always shared his wealth with them.

What Liu Hongli's father didn't know was the reason why Liu Hongli had just left without telling anyone where he was going. Liu Hongli's father also did not know that his first son intended to harm Liu Hongli.

After Liu Hongli's departure, his father decided to become the interim Emperor to succeed his third son. So that there is no debate between the concubine and her consort.

Because of course they want their son who leads the empire. There will be a big debate. Not just among the concubines. Even some princes and princesses would argue with each other about this.

"So who's leading the Snow white empire now?" liu Hongli.

"The one leading the empire right now is your father" said the person at the very front.

"Why haven't you told me this for so long? Does your sister know this too?" said Liu Chen while looking at Liu Hongli.

"Sorry Chen'er for not telling you and Yi'er from the start. I just don't want you and your brother to go there" Liu Hongli said.

"Whoah! Chen, are you a prince?!" said Zong Xian who looked amazed.

Liu Chen only glanced slightly at Zong Xian. But he said nothing about the young man's words. He looked back at his father. "Do you want to go back to the empire?"

"Dad doesn't want to go there for now"

Liu Chen turned his body and looked at the ten men of the first prince. "You heard it, didn't you? So you better go and don't disturb my family" Liu Chen said with great emphasis on the matter.

"What right do you have to rule us? We will only carry out the task of the first prince to bring the young Emperor before him" said the person in front. He was the leader of these ten men.

Liu Chen stared at the leader sharply, "Did you not understand as well? Do I need you to release first so you can understand what I'm saying?"

Instantly, a powerful aura instantly struck the ten after Liu Chen finished saying his words.

"Well, we will go and will not force the young Emperor. But how do we tell the first prince?" speak to leaders with difficulty.

"You stayed saying that you didn't find my father. Now that you can leave here", Liu Chen instantly removed the pressure he put on the ten people before him.

"Well", the ten people immediately left as soon as possible before Liu Chen changed his mind to let them leave just like that.

Liu Chen disappeared from where he stood and he immediately appeared before the ten people with the sword in his hand. "You think I'm gonna let you run away after brandishing a sword at my parents?"

In just a few seconds, the first ten princes' men had now become corpses, with their heads cut off.

Liu Chen reappeared near his friend. He also did not hold the sword anymore because he had put it into the space ring.

Li Wei and Liu Hongli were shocked to see their son kill all ten of them. "What are you doing Chen'er? Why did you kill them?" li Wei. He looked at his second son.

Liu Chen looked at his mother, "They deserve it, mother. Because they had dared to brandish swords at mom and dad with bad intentions. I don't like it when someone forces you to do something like that"

Li Wei and Liu Hongli were moved by their son's reply.

Zong Xian closed his eyes. He even gritted his teeth. Something came into his mind.

Knowing that, Feng Ying patted Zong Xian on the shoulder. "You why?"

Zong Xian immediately opened his eyes. He looked at Feng Ying, then shook his head. "I'm fine, don't worry" she smiled.

Feng Ying nodded. "All right then"

"You yourself will know the truth. Because the seal that seals your memories will slowly disintegrate the land. You should thank me for opening the seal for you"

Zong Xian recalled the words of a demon who caught him. "He was right, the image he showed me was indeed true. It's all the truth" her inner self. Clenched his hands. But he immediately relaxed his fist.

"Thank you Chen'er for helping my father" Liu Hongli said with a smile.

Liu Chen shook his head. "Dad doesn't have to thank me like that. That's not a problem at all for me. How's now? Are mom and dad leaving this village? It could be that the other first prince's man already knew the whereabouts of father. So they came here to take you", he looked towards Liu Hongli.

"According to dad, it seems like no one else's first brother's man knows this place. After all a nameless village was quite a remote village. So they're not going to find dad very easily here" Liu Hongli said.

"But are you and your mom not going to leave this village? What if they find out about this place and they'll take Dad forcibly"

"No, Chen'er. They won't know this place. So we're not moving anywhere. After all, we are comfortable staying here" Liu Hongli said.

"Your father is right, Chen'er. So there was no need to worry about us", Li Wei smiled towards Liu Chen.

"Well, when you say it. I will not force it" Liu Chen said resignedly.

Li Wei and Liu Hongli now saw a few people behind Liu Chen. "Quon. You were here? Then where's Yi'er? Aren't you and Chen'er with her back then?" li Wei said as he looked at Song Quon.

"Hehe aunt Wei still remembers me, huh?" said Song Quon while scratching his non-itchy back head.

"Of course we remember it. Because you're the one who eats the most. Compared to Yi'er" Liu Hongli said as he chuckled softly.

Hearing that, Song Quon became embarrassed. "Is that why aunt Wei and uncle Li remember me?"

Li Wei laughed, "My husband is just kidding, Quon'er. No need to think about it"

Liu Chen looked at his friend. He began to introduce all his friends to Li Wei and Liu Hongli.

After meeting, they entered the house. Before entering, Liu Chen burned the bodies of the ten men of the first prince first. After that, he went inside.

"So where's Yi'er, Chen'er?" li Wei said to his second son.

"How are you doing, Chen'er? Are you okay?" li Wei.

"I'm fine mom. What about mom and dad?" said Liu Chen.

"We're fine, Chen'er. We missed you. You haven't seen us in over a year. Where have you been all this time?" li Wei.

"I'm sorry I just got to see you now. I have an assignment. So I had to finish the job with my friend"

"We understand, Chen'er. But don't put yourself in danger. I don't want anything to happen to you. You understand, don't you?" liu Hongli.

Liu Chen smiled and nodded.

They keep talking. Except for Zhang Jiangwu who very rarely spoke. If anyone asks him, he only answers with a nod or answers with a few words.

They continued to talk until the night finally came.

"We can't stay here too long, brother Chen. We must leave immediately" Feng Ying said.

Liu Chen nodded in understanding. He took out a bag of gold coins from inside his space ring to give to his parents. Although he knew his father was an Emperor, but his father here was just like a commoner who also needed money. He gave his father a bag of gold coins.

"Is this Chen'er?" liu Hongli.

"That's for mom and dad. I still have it, so just accept it. Oh yeah, I'll be gone long enough too. So father and mother take good care of themselves" Liu Chen said.

"Alright, Chen'er. Don't worry about mom and dad" Liu Hongli said.

Liu Chen just smiled. He began to stand up from his seat. And his friend's friend.

"Aunt Wei, Uncle Li, when I come later, prepare a lot of food for me, huh?" song Quon said shamelessly asking that of Liu Chen's parents.

Li Wei smiled, "Then, hurry over here. Auntie's gonna cook a lot of food"

Song Quon smiled. While Liu Chen, Zong Xian, Feng Ying and Lu Tuoli shook their heads slowly when they heard Song Quon say.

"You are shameless about asking Aunt Wei and Uncle Li for food" Feng Ying said.

Song Quon looked at Feng Ying, "Hmph! It has nothing to do with you"

"Alright, mom, dad. We are leaving now" Liu Chen said.

"Aren't you tomorrow morning? It's already night. It would be dangerous to go out at night like this" Li Wei said. He and Liu Hongli stood up from their seats.

Liu Chen shook his head, "We'll be fine. Take good care of your mom and dad"

"Well, if you've decided to leave now. Mother couldn't prevent it. You and your friends are also taking good care of themselves" Li Wei said with a smile.

Liu Chen nodded as did his friend. After saying goodbye, they immediately left Liu Chen's house. They intend to return to the headquarters.

On the way, Lu Tuoli immediately said. "So the second head is the prince? Very surprising to me. So this is why you didn't tell us your march, Chen?"

"I also didn't know that father was the Emperor of the white Snow empire that existed in the northern continent. I just found out about it now" Liu Chen said.

"That means there are two chiefs who are members of the empire? Whoa! It is great" Feng Ying said with excitement.

Liu Chen smiled bitterly as he looked at Feng Ying, "You don't need such spirit". Liu Chen looked straight ahead, "I want to know who my first brother is who wants to harm him. If I knew it.heh", he smiled wickedly.

Seeing that smile gave Feng Ying goosebumps, "What are you going to do to her?"

"Heh, just look later if you want to know what I'm going to do to her" Liu Chen glanced at Feng Ying with a smile that still remained the same.

Feng Ying no longer looked towards Liu Chen after seeing the evil smile of the young man. "I can't imagine what he's going to do. Is he gonna boil it? Burned alive? Chopped out?", he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Do you accept that he treats your mother like that? Are you going to keep quiet when you find out the truth?"

Zong Xian could remember the voice of a demon who was holding him hostage back then. His mind was currently in turmoil when he thought of the memories he had just regained and the words the devil had spoken to him back then.

But he acted as if nothing had happened to him at this time so that no one would ask him anything. Even so, Zhang Jiangwu seemed to know that something was troubling the mind of one of his friends. He can indeed know other people's circumstances from their expressions.

This expression that Zong Xian showed was still readable by Zhang Jiangwu. But he did not want to ask Zong Xian anything. Karna felt that he should not interfere with the young man's affairs.

"I want to know how the headquarters will be maintained by the fourth chairman" Lu Tuoli said.

"You're right, I want to know too. Hopefully when we go home later, there are no problems at the headquarters and hopefully the headquarters will be fine with the fourth chairman" Feng Ying said, chuckling softly.

"Huh, here you dare to talk about it. But when you meet him, you definitely do not dare to say this" Song Quon said.

"Huh, I was just talking about the headquarters" Lu Tuoli said. He was immediately persuaded to agree by Feng Ying.

Liu Chen patted Zong Xian on the shoulder, "Xian, what if when we arrive at the headquarters later, we fight. I want to test to what extent I can. But don't let out your full strength because I won't either. If we put out full force, then it could be that our headquarters will become rubble"

Zong Xian nodded, "Alright, I happen to need a fighting opponent as well. Although my cultivation level lost to Jiangwu, but when we fight later I will not lose to you" said the spirit. It was different from the true feeling he felt at the moment. The feeling he was feeling right now was actually very chaotic. But he tried his best to behave as usual.

"I won't lose either. After all, our cultivation level is the same which is at the level of a 9-star emperor. But in a moment, we can definitely reach earth level and catch up with Jiangwu", Liu Chen smiled.

Zong Xian smiled and nodded confidently. "What level do you think the emperor's daughter is at? The last time we met him, he was at the level of a 7-star emperor"

Liu Chen held his chin, "Come. Perhaps he was already at the level of an 8-star emperor. I don't know either. Let's see it later"

Zong Xian just nodded.

What kind of memories did Zong Xian get? Does the memory you get have a good or bad impact on yourself and others?
