If You Sell the Mermaid Pearls, You'll Not Only Get a Beating

Ye Siheng smiled, "How could that be? Isn't the emperor a true dragon among men?"

"What true dragon among men? If I truly had the mandate of heaven, I wouldn't be in such a position..." Emperor Muwu felt annoyed again at the thought and said, "Don't perform such formalities in the future!" He certainly didn't want to hear any thunder.

"It's just thunder; it won't strike down," Ye Siheng said dismissively.

Suddenly, he had a clever idea and smiled mischievously, "Or should I kneel before you, Your Highness?"

That might actually lead to a strike.

Seeing Ye Siheng about to kneel, the thunder outside grew louder. Emperor Muwu was horrified and rushed to Ye Siheng, refusing to let him kneel.

"I want to die a natural death, not be struck by lightning!" he said fiercely. "If you keep joking like this, everything I promised you earlier will be nullified!"

Ye Siheng had to stand up straight. "Then don't forget."

"Got it!" Emperor Muwu replied, his tone filled with resentment.
