My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 138: So Exciting

After three rounds of drinks, Liang Qingzhou lay on the table with tears falling down his face, mumbling, "I shouldn't have come to see you... I caused you trouble. You finally got a wife... but my words broke them up... I'm sorry! Senior Brother!"

Zhao Jinghua was more sober than before drinking. He chuckled and patted Liang Qingzhou's shoulder. "I don't blame you. I just wanted to take it step by step. After Su Tong really understood me, I would let her know who I was. Maybe this is destiny. This is the end of our fate."

Not long after, Liang Qingzhou sniffed and slowly stood up, staggering out of Zhao Jinghua's bedroom, saying as he walked, "I'll go back first... to sleep! We'll talk tomorrow!"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window. "It's a good destination. Even if I'm no longer a human in the next life, I won't have any regrets." He drank the last sip of wine in the glass, then walked out of the bedroom and went to the hot spring in the back mountain that could accommodate ten people.

He took off his clothes and walked slowly into the center of the hot spring. The hot spring water just covered his waist and abdomen. His broad back, loose silver hair, and the hot spring water shrouded in mist were a beautiful sight.

At the same time, Wan Sutong searched around the villa again and again, and even went to the city to search all the restaurants, but could not find Zhao Jinghua.

Just as she was panicking, she suddenly remembered the golden plum blossom that Zhao Jinghua had given her on the mountain. She transformed the plum blossom and silently chanted Zhao Jinghua's name, but the plum blossom was unmoved. Wan Sutong's pupils shrank suddenly. After a moment, she calmed down and tried to silently chant Zhao Hongyu.

Instantly, a white light flashed before Wan Sutong's eyes, and the next moment she felt that she was in warm water. After the white light dissipated, she saw Zhao Jinghua, who was sitting on the edge of the hot spring with his eyes closed. He was naked at this moment, and perhaps because he was afraid that his silver hair would get wet, he let it hang in front of him. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His left hand hung in front of him, covering the space between his legs. Looking up, she saw slightly red thin lips, a high nose bridge, and tiny water droplets hanging on his eyelashes. Wan Sutong stared at him and even forgot to breathe.

At this moment, Zhao Jinghua's eyelashes trembled slightly. Wan Sutong wanted to find a place to hide, but the sound of water made by walking made Zhao Jinghua open his eyes.

When Zhao Jinghua saw Wan Sutong, his pupils suddenly shrank. After a moment, he laughed at himself and said, "It seems that I have drunk too much. Why did she come to see me?" Then he stood up and left.

Seeing this, Wan Sutong quickly covered her eyes, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she quickly shouted, "You, you, you, don't get up!"

Zhao Jinghua sobered up instantly after hearing this. He sat down by the hot spring again and looked at Wan Sutong in disbelief. "How did you get here?"

Wan Sutong blushed and lowered her head quickly, "You gave me a plum blossom, did you forget?"

Zhao Jinghua raised his head slightly and covered his eyes with his left hand. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in a self-deprecating tone, "I thought you wouldn't come."

As soon as she saw Zhao Jinghua's raised neck, Wan Sutong's nose bled instantly. She wanted to use the hot spring water to wash away the blood, but when she lowered her head, because the hot spring water was too clear, she saw something she shouldn't have seen. In an instant, Wan Sutong's nose bled like a pillar, her brain went blank and she leaned back.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinghua used his spiritual power to put on a black robe the moment he took a step, then quickly stepped forward and hugged Wan Sutong who was about to fall into the water.

Wan Sutong giggled, then turned her head to look at Zhao Jinghua, who was only wearing a black cloak. The faintly visible abdominal muscles made Wan Sutong drool. "How exciting!" She raised her hand and touched Zhao Jinghua's chest.

0533 asked anxiously at this time, "Host! What did you see? Why is there a mosaic in front of my eyes? Tell me quickly!"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled with helplessness and indulgence in his eyes. He carried Wan Sutong out of the water, and then used his spiritual power to restore Wan Sutong's dress, which was constantly dripping with water, to its original state.

For a moment, Wan Sutong felt warm all over, and then quickly turned her back and said, "Um... I don't hate you, I'm just a little shocked, can you forgive me?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and walked out of the water. Wan Sutong heard the sound of water and looked back, only to see that Zhao Jinghua had already used his spiritual power to put on his clothes. Wan Sutong sighed in disappointment.

At this time, 0533's eyes were no longer mosaics. When he saw the hot spring behind Zhao Jinghua, he understood the reason. "Oh~ That's it."

Zhao Jinghua walked forward and wanted to get closer to Wan Sutong, but stopped when he was one step away. He wanted to raise his hand to hold Wan Sutong's hand, but he retracted his slightly raised hand. "I'm not blaming you, I'm just afraid that you're afraid of me."

Seeing this, Wan Sutong immediately held Zhao Jinghua's drooping hand and said, "I know you have no choice. I am afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you now.

Zhao Jinghua sighed when he heard this, "I know you are afraid of the so-called me in the book, but I don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Although they are loyal ministers and generals, they are only loyal to the country of Zhao. They urged me to establish a queen and let me recruit concubines, but in their hearts they thought that one day I would give up the throne to Zhao Honglin..."

Before Zhao Jinghua finished speaking, Wan Sutong spoke in disbelief, "If I were you, I would say it directly. I am sitting well on the throne, why should I let others take over?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and shook his head. "They are right, but others cannot hear what they are thinking. When I heard what they were thinking in the past, I thought I was too obsessed with the throne and that I was crazy. But later I found that when I talked to someone who was loyal to me according to what he was thinking, he would be very surprised, so I was a little dazed."

Wan Sutong nodded in sudden enlightenment after hearing this, "I understand! Others don't know what they are thinking and think they are loyal subjects. You killed them because you thought you were too suspicious. Maybe you are crazy?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded and looked at Wan Sutong with stars in his eyes. At this moment, someone finally understood him completely. "I could have taken back their official positions and made their descendants never serve as officials in the court. The civil officials would just write poems to criticize me, but among them there are meritorious officials who have fought with me on the battlefield. They hold heavy troops and believe that they understand my character, so they think they are standing from my perspective and considering me, so they support Zhao Honglin."

Wan Sutong and 0533 said at the same time, "Isn't this because you don't know who you are?" After Wan Sutong finished speaking, 0533 slowly said, "But if you do this, others will only think that you are destroying your own bridges. You are just an emperor who kills and makes decisions. Why do you think you are not a good person?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed when he heard 0533's question and looked at 0533. "You know, I didn't let the civil servants go, but killed all the meritorious officials, a total of people. Some of them are new fathers, some are the only sons in the family, and some are newlyweds. But the only thing to blame is that they can't understand the situation."

0533 laughed after hearing this and became much more mature when he spoke again. "There is no absolutely kind person in the world, not to mention that you are an emperor. If you show mercy everywhere, one day you will hurt yourself. This system knows that you have conflicts in your heart, but if you want to save your whole life and become an emperor, you will only add to your troubles."

Zhao Jinghua sighed continuously, "I know, but I'm afraid of Su Tong..." Before he finished speaking, 0533 nodded, "This system also knows."
