Strong and powerful! Strong and powerful!
Feeling an unprecedented surge of emotion within her, Melard, who had previously been attracted to Esdeath because of her beauty, now only saw her as a bad woman who was stealing her man.
With that in mind, Melard made a decision.
“Since you trust me, then don’t go looking for that violent woman Esdeath. Stay and join us, ‘Oberg’…”
Merad looked up at Xia Yan at a 45-degree angle, his eyes revealing endless allure.
“If you stay, not only me, but all the other women in ‘Oberg’ will belong to you…” Bu.
Chapter 210 On How to Change an Empire
"Not just me, my entire harem—Gilbert, Casandora, Taeko, Chelsea—all belong to you now~"
Hearing this, Xia Yan would have almost agreed immediately if he hadn't been so determined.
It's important to know that Melard is not just an ordinary woman.
She is also the true leader of the assassination society "Oberg," and possesses powerful bedroom skills capable of altering her sexual orientation.
Under her leadership, the assassination society consisted of seven members, including herself.
Apart from Daniel, the steward, and Barbara, the instructor, the rest were all stunning beauties.
Of these, apart from Chelsea, who had only recently joined, the other three were already part of Melard's harem.
They followed Merard's arrangements without question.
And each of them has its own unique characteristics.
For example, Casandora is a cute girl with four arms, while Gilbert has a special physique and can control her muscles at will, and her figure is frighteningly good.
Having undergone assassin training since childhood, Taeko is extremely obedient and never refuses any request.
Chelsea is even better.
The user of the Teigu Transformation Freedom Gaia Foundation.
A high-end version of Mystique.
Let alone becoming human, animals are also an option if needed.
If Xia Yan agrees, it's like he'll get a harem for free, and they'll even help him recruit more.
Moreover, there's no need to worry about maintaining harmonious relationships among the concubines.
Because the members are all each other's harem, it is a closed loop internally.
However, considering his own goals and the positioning of "Oberg," a secret assassin society that has been around for hundreds of years, Xia Yan shook his head.
"why?"
Melard asked, somewhat puzzled.
Although she was also captivated by Esdeath's beauty, she never felt that she was inferior to her in any way.
Moreover, she herself has a harem, while Esdeath is just one person.
Based on her investigation of Xia Yan, there was no reason for her to make such a choice.
Seeing Melard's confusion, Xia Yan said in a righteous and noble tone, "Because I intend to change this country!"
"what!?"
Upon hearing this reason, Melard was stunned.
An eerie silence filled the air for a moment.
After a long pause, Merad spoke again.
"Are you... joking with me?"
Her gaze toward Xia Yan was full of doubt, as if he were mentally unstable or had suddenly contracted a serious illness.
Faced with Melard's questioning, Xia Yan spoke righteously and firmly.
"No, I'm serious."
"That's really... I didn't realize..."
Merard's lips twitched slightly.
Her words were certainly not without basis.
Since she planned to recruit Xia Yan, she would naturally conduct a series of investigations into him.
Although he didn't intend to delve into the secrets of Xia Yan's strength, he still had some understanding of obvious things like his past experiences.
He was an orphan from a village on the northwestern border of the empire, where hunting and farming were the main occupations. His mother had fled to the village.
She was already pregnant when she joined the village, and due to her weak health, she was castrated shortly after giving birth to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan, because of his outstanding appearance, grew up eating food from many different families.
When I was a child, I learned some swordsmanship from a swordsman in the village who had served in the army, and learned traps and poisons from the village hunters. I also figured out a lot of low-level hidden weapon moves on my own.
After reaching adulthood, he left his hometown to become an independent adventurer and part-time mercenary.
He indulged in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, prostitution, swindling, and deception.
Basically, he's a not-too-outrageous scumbag.
With his cautious nature and cunning, decisive style of doing things, he's done quite well.
Aside from enjoying life, most of the money they earned was sent back to the village to maintain the empire's tax revenue.
This style of doing things has continued to this day.
Clearly, Xia Yan's actions are not only unrelated to those who aspire to change the country, but also completely unrelated.
They did not join the empire like those ambitious young people, hoping to climb to the top and gain power to carry out internal reforms.
They did not choose to rise up in rebellion, declare themselves kings, or join revolutionary armies or other rebellious forces to forcibly change the country through armed revolution.
His actions seem more like a complete resignation after witnessing the darkness of this country, a "whatever happens, happens" attitude, as long as he and his hometown are safe.
"It's normal that you can't tell, since I only recently came up with this idea."
Xia Yan expressed his understanding upon sensing Melard's doubts.
After all, he had never had this idea before, so he had never made any similar efforts.
The key point is that he never expected to have such an awesome day.
Just like Cao Cao never imagined that he would one day be able to divide the world into three.
Although comparing oneself to the prime minister is somewhat inappropriate.
After all, did he have any of Cao Cao's fetishes...?
probably.
"Give up, this country is beyond saving."
Seeing that Xia Yan didn't seem to be joking and was actually preparing to do something, Melard spoke up:
"The fact that the status quo can be maintained is because the foundation laid by the First Emperor a thousand years ago was too solid."
"But precisely because of this, the country has begun to decay from the root, and it is impossible to change it..."
“No! That’s possible!” Xia Yan interrupted her before Melard could finish speaking. “But it depends on who controls this country!”
His tone was filled with intense confidence, as if the country was already his for the taking.
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Merad's pupils suddenly contracted by 1.4.
This sexy and beautiful queen of assassins now understands why Xia Yan is so obsessed with Esdeath.
As the empire's most renowned, youngest, and strongest general, he is unlike General Bud, whose family has a hereditary title and who, despite being the nominal leader of the imperial army and the empire's only Grand General, spends his days in the capital commanding the Imperial Guard.
Esdeath's reputation was truly earned through hard work and dedication.
Therefore, she enjoyed a reputation in the empire's army that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
If Esdeath could support one person, she could probably lead more than half of the Empire's army to rebel on the spot.
Given Esdeath's formidable fighting abilities, there's a real possibility that she could bring a new master to this country.
Chapter 211 Merard's Token of Love
"So that's how it is! So this is the kind of change you're talking about in order to change this country."
Merard, who understood Xia Yan's thoughts, also changed his gaze towards him.
If the previous infatuation was tinged with a sense of pampering, and she considered herself superior to Xia Yan, and that he was merely a special existence within her harem...
Now that Melard understood Xia Yan's thoughts, he naturally wouldn't consider him to be his subordinate.
After all, she has a clear goal and a plan that she herself considers highly feasible, and she may very well become the first emperor of the next empire.
It's impossible for someone to be confined to a small assassination society.
With this in mind, Melard abandoned his plan to recruit Xia Yan.
The hand that had been gently stroking Xia Yan's cheek wrapped around his neck, and for the first time, she offered her lips to the man.
Originally, he only intended to leave a deep impression on Xia Yan, but in the midst of their verbal battle, he discovered that the other party's skills in this area were no less than his own, and it was difficult to determine a winner for a long time.
Surprised, Merard's feelings for Xia Yan intensified, and his gaze became increasingly unfocused.
"Xia Yan, you're getting more and more charming. I'm almost reluctant to let you go..."
After their lips parted, Melard said, slightly out of breath.
Just now, she actually lost out in terms of skill.
Fortunately, she realized this and decisively separated them; otherwise, they might have ended up rolling around on the ground in a hug.
If Xia Yan had agreed to join Oberg and become one of her harem members, then Merard wouldn't mind letting Xia Yan have some sweetness; she had even prepared a room for him.
I can fly back anytime to have fun with Xia Yan.
But since Xia Yan refused, we can't let him win her over so easily.
