"good!"
Li Yao nodded.
"Thank you, immortal!"
Cheng Letian bowed deeply with a thud.
Immediately, hope appeared on her face, and she said, "Immortal, I have been kneeling here as you wished, without ever getting up. Now, can you accept me as your disciple?"
"If you want me to take you as my disciple, you must first promise me one thing!"
Li Yao thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Not just one thing, but ten or even a hundred things, I can agree to them!"
Cheng Letian was overjoyed; her persistence had finally paid off!
"Don't be so happy yet. What I want you to do is probably not easy for you!"
Li Yao said with a half-smile.
"No matter how difficult it is, I promise I will do my best to make it happen!"
Cheng Letian's gaze was very resolute.
"Even if you keep promising it, you probably won't be able to get over this hurdle in your own heart!"
Li Yao said.
"Immortal, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Cheng Letian asked with a mixture of curiosity and eagerness.
"I want you to be the Empress!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"What?"
You want me to become an empress?
Cheng Letian's eyes widened, and he quickly repeated the sentence, afraid that he had misheard.
"That's right, I want you to be the Empress!"
Li Yao nodded with absolute certainty and smiled, "Can you do it?"
"Empress... Empress... How could this be... There has never been an empress in this world..."
Cheng Letian was completely stunned.
She never expected that Li Yao would want her to be the empress.
Throughout history, men have always been emperors.
Even if a woman once ruled from behind the curtain and secretly manipulated the government, there was still a male emperor on the surface.
She never imagined that a woman could become an emperor!
How could this immortal make such an absurd request?
"None of my apprentices are ordinary!"
"If you want to be my apprentice, you can't be ordinary!"
"There has never been an empress in this world, but I am determined to cultivate one!"
"And you, my disciple, are the empress I have nurtured!"
Li Yao said in a very domineering manner.
"But...I am a woman..."
Cheng Letian said weakly.
"So what if she's a woman? Can't a woman be an emperor?"
"Why should only men be emperors? Why can't women be emperors?"
"We're all human beings, so why are men considered superior?"
Li Yao's unorthodox words left Cheng Letian stunned.
Cheng Letian never expected that Li Yao, a man, would be so protective of women.
At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder if the immortal in front of her was actually a woman in disguise!
"Well said!"
"My lord, if she doesn't want to be the empress, I'll become the empress myself and experience what it's like to be an emperor!"
Xiao Bai clapped and cheered.
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Cheng Letian finally dispelled his doubts about Li Yao's gender.
At the same time, she couldn't understand why Li Yao would speak up for the woman.
Although she was not like other women who were willing to stay at home to be a wife and mother.
However, she was well aware that women in this world generally had a low status and were merely appendages of men.
Li Yao's words completely overturned her worldview.
She never imagined that there would be anyone in the world who believed that men and women were equal!
"Cheng Letian, have you thought this through?"
"If you want to be my apprentice, you must promise me that you will become an empress in the future!"
Li Yao looked intently at Cheng Letian and said.
"I...I..."
Cheng Letian stammered.
After a long pause, she finally spoke: "Even if I agree, I cannot guarantee that I will become the Empress!"
"Don't worry, as long as they are my disciples, they can do anything, not just against the Empress, but even against the Heavenly Emperor!"
Li Yao smiled faintly.
"???"
Cheng Letian was taken aback, thinking to himself: This immortal is too arrogant.
The Heavenly Emperor is a supreme being, not someone anyone can simply choose to be.
She had no idea that the arrogant immortal before her had once single-handedly destroyed a Heavenly Emperor.
"So? Have you made up your mind yet?"
Li Yao asked again.
"But...but my father will definitely object!"
Cheng Letian voiced a concern that had been on his mind.
Her father was a typical loyal and patriotic general who would never betray his master and allow his daughter to become empress.
"As long as you agree, all other problems are not problems!"
Li Yao's attitude was extremely domineering.
"This...can I think about it?"
Cheng Letian was still unable to accept this earth-shattering request for the time being.
"I originally thought you were a promising talent!"
"Sigh, now it seems I overestimated you!"
"Alright, Xiaobai, let's go!"
Li Yao shook his head in disappointment.
After saying that, he prepared to leave with Xiaobai.
When Cheng Letian saw that Li Yao was about to leave, he became anxious.
She knelt for a whole night, all in order to become Li Yao's disciple.
What she never expected was that Li Yao would ask her to become the empress!
She was unwilling to accept that the opportunity to become an apprentice was about to slip away from her eyes!
That's enough!
I'm going all in!
If you're going to be an empress, then be an empress!
So she gritted her teeth and immediately shouted, "Immortal, don't go! I promise you!"
"Very good, worthy of being my disciple!"
Li Yao stopped, exchanged a glance with Xiao Bai, and smiled at each other.
At this moment, Cheng Letian was stunned.
She never imagined that she would actually agree to Li Yao's request to become the empress!
But can she really become an empress?
What are you still standing there for?
"I want to become your apprentice!"
Seeing Cheng Letian standing there in a daze, Li Yao said something rather irritating.
"oh!"
Cheng Letian came to his senses and said, "Master, please accept my three bows!"
After saying that, she kowtowed three times to Li Yao.
"My good disciple!"
Li Yao nodded in satisfaction, pointed to Xiao Bai beside him, and said, "This is your master's wife."
