Lin Yi prepares to ascend the throne as Emperor of Dayou Country, reflecting on his desire for his family to join him. He plans to use a spaceship for discreet troop transport to bolster the Border Army Camp, intending to launch a surprise attack on the Zhao Country by luring their army out and striking their rear.

In particular, Lin Yi’s advanced helicopter represents a pinnacle of modern engineering. Its sheer power is unmatched by any other. Especially in the current era of technological advancement, this aircraft can disregard flight duration and effortlessly maintain altitude even against a multitude of adversaries. One could confidently assert that it would possess an enduring advantage, even in protracted warfare. Who could possibly withstand the constant presence of a helicopter overhead for an entire month? Furthermore, the occasional deployment of its ordnance would plunge those below into sheer pandemonium! Even if the helicopter were to simply dispense rocks instead of bombs, the recipients would be utterly defenseless. Such an overwhelming force is akin to a human confronting an ant swarm; unless a critical error is made or one foolishly remains within the ant nest, how could the ants possibly inflict harm?

Of course, Lin Yi would refrain from such actions unless absolutely necessary, considering these potential adversaries are destined to become his future subjects! Only with a formidable army can he truly establish dominion over this world. Therefore, whether it’s the soldiers of Zhao Country or Yan Country, in Lin Yi’s estimation, they are all his future personnel. This is why Lin Yi’s current focus is not on eradicating the enemy forces, but rather on capturing their leader without shedding a single drop of blood. Such an acquisition would allow for the complete integration of these individuals under his command, and by subduing them with minimal cost, he can further extend his influence. After all, the total human population in this world is not substantial, not even comparable to the population of Huaxia in later eras; it barely reaches half.

Naturally, Lin Yi is confident that with appropriate governance, the human reproduction rate would dramatically increase. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to suggest that before long, Lin Yi might find himself lamenting the rapid population growth, necessitating the consideration of family planning. However, a present advantage exists: vast tracts of undeveloped land remain. Once Lin Yi transforms this world into a global community, resources can be judiciously managed, ensuring no issues arise even with a manifold increase in population. But these are not immediate concerns; the present situation demands all attention.

By some means, Leng Yu managed to infiltrate the Imperial Palace under the cover of darkness. After all, her appointment was only just formalized today, and the subsequent arrangements are still in progress. For instance, Leng Yu’s official residence has yet to be definitively assigned and is currently being processed by the Ministry of Personnel. Consequently, Leng Yu has been accommodated within the Imperial Palace for the night.

Lin Yi intentionally arranged for Leng Yu’s quarters to be situated at a considerable distance from his own. However, for the sake of accessibility, Leng Yu was provided with a special token, granting her unhindered passage within the Imperial Palace. It was with this token that Leng Yu softly unlatched Lin Yi’s door, precisely as he was preparing for rest. Upon detecting the subtle sound outside, Lin Yi’s brow furrowed, and he immediately sat upright, addressing the intruder:

"Who goes there?"

Lin Yi’s sharp reaction stemmed from his prior directive to the eunuchs and palace maids: under no circumstances were they to disturb him unless absolutely critical, and their presence was dismissed for the night. This was also a precautionary measure for his own security. Despite Lin Yi’s formidable skills and intellect, complemented by his advanced systems, he remained, fundamentally, a mortal. An unexpected ambush could prove fatal. If attacked during his slumber, he would be vulnerable. Hence, his vigilance persists even in sleep.

Moreover, a brand-new Desert Eagle lies concealed beneath his pillow. While the firearm’s substantial caliber might be challenging for most to handle, Lin Yi’s enhanced physical constitution renders it effortless for him. The recoil that might overwhelm others is, for Lin Yi, remarkably minor and well within his control. It is no hyperbole to state that he could simultaneously wield two such weapons and discharge them continuously without the slightest deviation in aim.

In any case, that is a tangential matter. As Lin Yi uttered, "Who goes there?", the footsteps outside the door ceased instantly, as if petrified. While Lin Yi maintained his frown, a gentle voice finally reached his ears, eliciting a mixture of amusement and bewilderment.

"Brother Lin Yi, I am alone in this Imperial Palace and feeling rather apprehensive. I cannot sleep. May I? May I sleep with you?"

Although framed as a question, her advance toward him did not falter. After uttering these words, she approached the bed, and Lin Yi, with a sense of resignation, tucked the Desert Eagle back beneath his pillow. He looked up and was momentarily captivated.

Standing before him was an alluring woman exuding an air of refined grace, her long tresses cascading softly, igniting a surge of primal desire. This was particularly true given the sheer, diaphanous veil she wore. It marked the first occasion Lin Yi had beheld Leng Yu adorned in such attire. It remains a mystery where she procured such an outfit to wear here. Were others to witness this spectacle, their jaws would surely drop. Leng Yu, in this moment, was transformed, bearing a resemblance to a celestial being descending from the heavens.

Her breathtakingly beautiful face and her blushing, bashful manner only served to enhance her already captivating allure. [To be continued...]
