Chapter 215.1

After all the effort Ive put in, to think that I still cant outdo someone whos just lying flat!

Great Luo Emperor was extremely displeased. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and he shouted loudly: Someone come here!

An old eunuch walked in, respectfully asking: Your Majesty, what do you need this servant for?

Great Luo Emperor loudly commanded: Keep an eye on the situation in Great Xia and report back to me every single day!

The old eunuch responded: This servant obeys the decree!

Great Luo Emperor thought for a moment and added: Also, report on the movements of the Great Xia Emperor!This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Yes, Your Majesty! the old eunuch replied again.

After the court session, he immediately instructed his forces to act according to the Emperors orders.

Two days passed, and the latest news from Great Xia finally arrived.

Report to Your Majesty. Great Xia remains unaffected by the ice disaster, and the people live in peace and contentment. The nation is very tranquil!

Great Luo Emperors expression turned sour: Hmm, continue!

The old eunuch continued reporting: As for the Great Xia Emperor, according to the information from our secret sources, he wakes up only when the sun is already high in the sky. After having breakfast, he spends half an hour dealing with state affairs, then plays with Consort Xin and Consort Yue in the back garden, playing the flute, plucking the zither, composing poetry, and spending the night in Consort Chus palace!

Great Luo Emperors face twisted.

He himself couldnt sleep for days and nights because of the ice disaster, and his eyes were ringed with dark circles.

On the other hand, that dog of an Emperor could actually sleep until the sun was high in the sky, what a good sleeper!

He, for the sake of the ice disaster, would start dealing with state affairs as soon as he woke up, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Out of the 12 hours in a day, he would spend at least 8 hours on state affairs.

That dog of an Emperor, however, only spent half an hour on state affairs, then went off to enjoy himself with his women, living a life of pleasure.

Great Luo Emperor was insanely jealous inside, but he feigned disdain and said: Hmph! Indulging in pleasure and neglecting state affairs. The very image of a foolish emperor! Just you watch, this dog Emperor will come to ruin sooner or later!

Your Majesty speaks the utmost truth!

The next day, the latest news from Great Xia was presented again.

Report to Your Majesty. Great Xia remains unaffected by the ice disaster, and the people live in peace and contentment. The nation is very tranquil!

Great Luo Emperors face darkened quickly: Continue!

The old eunuch continued reporting: As for the movements of the Great Xia Emperor, according to the latest information we have, he still wakes up when the sun is high, after having breakfast, he spends half an hour dealing with state affairs, then enjoys a performance of singing and dancing with Consort Xiang and Consort Chu and spent the night in Consort Yues palace!

Therefore, he could only devote his attention to accompanying these women, striving to cultivate and propagate his lineage, which could also be considered as toiling for state affairs!

In secret, he was busy sending some moisture into the sky, letting strong winds blow it towards Great Luo to boost the morale of the neighboring nation engaged in a national resistance.

Great Luo Emperor: ( _ )

The strong wind and the heavy snow had blown for more than a month and finally began to slow down.

The temperature gradually rose, and the ice and snow began to melt.

This meant that the month-long ice disaster was finally coming to an end.

It was a catastrophe that affected the whole world, with many common people dying silently, leaving every household in mourning.

Many nations also saw a decline in their national power, no longer as strong as before.

It was a sad winter!

Inside the Great Luo imperial palace, the Minister of Revenue was reporting the losses from the ice disaster to the Great Luo Emperor.

Report to Your Majesty, after preliminary statistics, nearly a million people have died in this ice disaster!

In addition, there are 12,000 cattle, 8,000 horses, 6,000 donkeys, 6,000 sheep, 15,000 pigs, and over 100,000 chickens, ducks, and geese that froze to death in the disaster because we were unable to rescue them in time!

As for other losses

After hearing the report, the Great Luo Emperors face was very grave.

He sighed deeply and said, I did not expect this ice disaster to be so severe! Even though we were very prepared, we still paid a heavy price! When facing natural disasters, human efforts are sometimes limited. We humans are ultimately too weak!

What Your Majesty says is very true! The faces of the officials also grew somber.

But we have persevered!

The Great Luo Emperor shouted, This is a victory! Although it was difficult, we still won! Now, I ask all Ministers to join me in rebuilding our homeland and revitalizing Great Luo!

Yes, Your Majesty! the officials responded in unison.
