The Past Life 169 

After the Ninth Emperor returned, the girls in Cloud Mountain greeted her happily.

These girls were all dressed up in flowers, perhaps because they knew she would come back today. Those girls who usually did not wear much makeup were also lightly powdered and modestly greeted her.

"Ninth Emperor, you're back?"

They smiled brightly.

Their voices softened the Ninth Emperor's heart. She smiled and hugged the girls.

She did not notice that the young man behind her was sulking.

'It seems that this place is not suitable for us. I've to find a way to leave…'

"The day of the election is in a few days." The Ninth Emperor then remembered those people outside and pondered for a while. "I will not be here for this year's election. You guys look after it. No matter how beautiful or ugly the appearance is, strong or smart, the people recruited must be courteous."

"Yes, Ninth Emperor," all the girls answered respectfully.
