Who Says Our Family Has Too Many Thrones

"The world?" Leonard Li and Gregory Gu Jr. were both stunned.

In their eyes, this land consisted only of the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Chu, with the most recent addition being the vassal state of Qin.

To them, that was the whole world.

But what did Su Li mean by 'the world'?

Although it was all rather vague, the two understood that Su Li's vision was far beyond theirs; her concept of the world was something entirely different.

Su Li gently stroked the blue bricks of Charleston's city gate and said, "I spent three years planning, and without a single soldier or casualty, I annexed the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Chu. At the same time, I developed industrial civilization in the Kingdom of Qin. Thanks to the wisdom and diligence of our Great Qin people, in just five years, we've built a nation this powerful. Now, those mighty ships and cannons overseas—Great Qin has them too! And when the nations of the world hear our name, Great Qin, they all stand in awe! We're second now, but if we push a little harder, in ten years, we'll dominate the globe."

As Su Li spoke, her face grew more spirited. She touched her nose and grinned mischievously: "I used to worry that falling behind would mean getting bullied, that one day the cannons of the Eight-Nation Alliance would reach our doorstep and my descendants would suffer national humiliation. But now, those eight nations are all little brothers to Qin! Forget the Eight-Nation Alliance—even if eighty countries came at us, our Great Qin navy would send them packing!"

Su Li laughed, lightly knocking her fist against the blue bricks, a hint of domineering pride in her bones: "But I don't want war right now. Qin is still young and needs time to grow. Now isn't the time for fighting... When we're truly strong enough to have no worries, well... I'd love to go conquer the unknown world!"

Su Li's words left Leonard Li and Gregory Gu Jr. half understanding, half confused.

Years of living cut off from the world had completely changed their minds and personalities—especially being suddenly thrust into a modern, industrial society. The transformation was so drastic, it left them at a loss.

Yet with Qin's strength now so formidable, Leonard Li and Gregory Gu Jr. were thoroughly impressed by Su Li's abilities.

One was the former Emperor of Jin, the other the shrewdest tactician—Gregory Gu Jr., Imperial Grand Tutor. These two men, confronted with the world Su Li had created, felt a deep, heartfelt respect and admiration.

"Alright, you've seen my world," Su Li turned to them, saying, "Though we have old grudges, there was once friendship between us. My lord, I truly enjoyed our friendship, and when you betrayed me, it truly hurt; Imperial Grand Tutor, we worked together, and I promised your grandfather on his deathbed that I would spare your life one day. Today, I fulfill that promise."

"I can't forget the friendship of the past, nor the hatred. I won't kill you. Do you see that skyscraper under construction? You will live forever at its very top, witnessing the world I build, until the end of your days."

Such an outcome was a complete surprise to Leonard Li and Gregory Gu Jr. They had expected that after flaunting her power, Su Li would kill them.

But who could have guessed—she would confine them for life, making them spend their remaining years witnessing all her achievements.

Su Li truly was no ordinary person—a remarkable woman indeed!

Just as Leonard Li and Gregory Gu Jr. looked on in awe and admiration, Alexander Hayes strode up the stairs, wrapped his arm around Su Li's waist, glanced at the two men, and, with a tone full of pride, said to Su Li, "Darling, now that you're pregnant, you shouldn't be running around."

As he spoke, he smugly touched Su Li's still-flat belly.

His expression dealt a fatal blow to his two former rivals!

Su Li's gaze softened instantly, as if it could melt water: "I'm perfectly healthy. Walking around is actually good for me."

"Yes, yes, everything you say is right, darling." Alexander Hayes, feeling the intense stares from Leonard Li and Gregory Gu Jr. directed at Su Li, tightened his embrace around her: "Darling, let's go home. Our son and daughter are looking for their mother. Sigh, the house is still too quiet—we should have a few more kids."

"...Three aren't enough!?"

"Not enough, not enough! Once this one's born, we'll keep trying! Darling, the world is so big, and as your husband, I'll one day sail far and conquer lands. I won't stop at just three kingdoms—if we have too few kids, there won't be enough to divide the spoils. After all, our family has so many thrones to fill."
