Chapter 190
Chu Qianqiu led the crowd out of the Tower of the Emperor, covered in blood.
Before coming out, he had already sensed that many cultivators had come to the imperial city to watch due to the disappearance of the black hood.
He seemed to realize what these people wanted to do, but did not stop them from leaving, allowing everything to happen.
Now, he didn't want to get involved in too many messy things unless these people dared to touch his interests.
Now, he just wanted to go home and rest for a while.
"Benefactor, I didn't expect you to do so much for me. I'm so moved, wuwuwuwuwu!"
"I want to marry you! Can I marry you?"
...
On the way home, Qiao Xiaoxiao held onto Chu Qianqiu's body and refused to let go, saying that she wanted to repay him by offering herself and doing anything for him.
Chu Qianqiu himself was exhausted from recent events and now he was being soaked by this tearful person. He regretted telling her those things back then.
"You, have you really forgotten everything?"
"Do you know how amazing you were in there?"
Still not believing that the little girl in front of him was so innocent, Chu Qianqiu asked curiously again.
"I really forgot!"
"Wait, me...what happened inside?"
"What happened to me inside?"
"You must be responsible for me!"
Qiao Xiaoxiao misunderstood Chu Qianqiu's meaning and blushed for some reason.
"...You."
"Do you really not know?"
"I really don't know!"
"How could you not know? You clearly guided me in!"
"Did I?"
"You know, right? Stop pretending!"
"Okay, okay, marry me and I'll tell you!"
...
Once again entangled with this person.
Chu Qianqiu was helpless with this person and could only agree to take her under his wing.
Qiao Xiaoxiao was as happy as a child and happily followed her benefactor home.
...
After returning to Moon Phoenix City.
The entire Moon Phoenix City seemed to have more people now.
The streets were filled with citizens queuing up, seemingly begging for food.
Chu Qianqiu and the others entering the city naturally attracted attention.
The people here were obviously not the original residents of the city, but refugees from other towns.
These people appeared here probably because of the recent events in the imperial city.
And they should not be refugees from the imperial city, but the original residents of the surrounding cities.
In this case, it is likely that something has happened in other cities of the Sun Empire.
"It seems that during my absence, there have been rebellions in other cities of the Sun Empire."
Thinking this way, Chu Qianqiu could see that the empire was on the verge of collapse.
But why was Moon Phoenix City still stable, and even had an influx of refugees? This was somewhat puzzling.
"The head of the Chu family has returned, everyone, look!"
When the refugees saw Chu Qianqiu returning from the city gate, they were all overjoyed.
They surrounded him and his group like a constellation of stars, cheering.
Chu Qianqiu had never been so welcomed before and was somewhat puzzled as he was squeezed in the crowd.
Chu Xiaoxiao is also the same.
As an unlucky person, she has never seen so many people dare to approach her in her life, and some even panicked.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Get out."
Using spiritual power, she dispersed the group of refugees to the side.
Chu Qianqiu now seemed a little impatient.
"Chu family head, you are our hero!"
"Now, the imperial capital of the Rising Sun Empire has been destroyed, and many families in the cities have started to rebel, wanting to establish their own rule!"
"We, the powerless common people, can only serve as slaves to those powerful families if we stay in our original cities!"
"Now, only the Moon Phoenix City where your family is located, and the Foundry City where some of your family members are, are relatively safe!"
"The strong members of those powerful families have all heard of your famous name, so they dare not cause trouble in these two cities, they are all afraid of you taking action, so they all avoid them."
"And your Chu family members are friendly and never oppress the people, so we have come to seek refuge with you!"
"Please save us, we are willing to follow in the footsteps of your Chu family, even if it means being your servants!"
...
The displaced refugees all spoke, kneeling down and showing a submissive attitude.
The other residents of Moon Phoenix City were the same.
Now, they have lost the protection of the Rising Sun Empire, which is equivalent to losing their only guarantee.
Therefore, the most powerful family in this city is their current reliance.
...
"What do you mean?"
"You guys, I'm not the owner of this city, I have no right to control you."
Looking at this group of pilgrim-like refugees.
Chu Qianqiu unintentionally said these words.
As a result, everyone stood up and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Chu family head, now this city belongs to you!"
"The Rising Sun Empire has collapsed, and the royal and noble families have all disappeared."
"Whoever can truly control this city, who can stop you from ruling this city!"
Everyone thought that Chu Qianqiu was joking.
But looking at the expressions of these people, Chu Qianqiu felt that things were becoming more complicated.
"...Forget it, you guys step aside."
"After I go home, I will deal with your matters."
Ignoring these people, Chu Qianqiu went straight towards his home.
The refugees had no choice but to make way for the king of this city, still showing respect on their faces.
And this day seemed to pass quickly.
Night fell.
The displaced refugees had been waiting in the city, waiting in front of the gates of the Chu family.
Now, besides this city, they dared not go anywhere else.
And they were waiting, waiting for the Chu family head to reply with a message, a confirmation that they would be taken in.
Chu Qianqiu himself, after settling some matters at home, came out.
He distributed a blanket to each person, hoping that these refugees would not freeze to death when resting on the streets.
Although they were now so poor that they could only sleep on the streets.
But this warm gesture from the Chu family head still brought tears to their eyes. Even though they were homeless, they felt the warmth.
Everyone thanked him, and through this incident, they understood the sincerity of the Chu family head.
They should be able to continue staying in Moon Phoenix City.
With this, they finally felt relieved, knowing that they had a place to stay and could sleep peacefully until dawn.
...
The next morning, when the sun had just risen, the refugees seemed a bit hungry.
Many of them hadn't eaten for several days and were on the verge of starving.
Once again, Chu Qianqiu took action. He announced to everyone that he would hold a wedding, and anyone who came to congratulate would be able to enjoy a sumptuous feast.
At this moment, in this chaotic time, in the situation of various cities being divided, Moon Phoenix City was filled with celebration, and an unprecedented unity emerged.
