Chapter 2150
A few days later, they reached Tabalham.
The once bustling Tabalham was now a dead city. Piles of corpses were heaped around the city, blood ran through
the streets, and it reeked of a horrid odor.
After Zoe returned, he immediately dispatched soldiers from nearby cities to clean up the city.
In just a few days, Tabalham was thoroughly tidied up.
Since the Targwyn family had plenty of affairs to handle, they were temporarily unable to prepare rations for James.
In that time, James temporarily stayed with them.
His stay lasted for half a month.
Half a month later, Tabalham was rebuilt and slowly regained operations.
James sat in the independent courtyard behind Tabalham’s Imperial Palace.
He absorbed Empyrean Spiritual Energy and used it to cultivate.
“James.”
A dainty voice sounded from outside the door.

The door was pushed open. A beautiful woman with exquisite features and gorgeous figure walked into the room
wearing a gorgeous dress and flower crown. With a sweet smile on her face, she called out again, “James.”
James stopped cultivating and looked toward Laelia, who walked into the room. He nodded and answered, “Hi.”
Laelia walked over and sat down on a chair in the yard. She said with a smile, “Father has already issued an order
for food to be gathered from across the country. If everything goes well and there are no hiccups, the food will
arrive in Tabalham within a month.”
Hearing this, James sighed in relief.
After obtaining the rations, he could return to Earth.
All the while, he was unsure whether any problems had arisen or whether the supposed good fortune had come to
pass on earth.
“By the way…”
Laelia wanted to say something but swallowed her words, and her face flushed red.
James looked at her and asked, “Hmm? What’s wrong?”
After some brief hesitation, she said, “F-Father would like to see you in the palace’s main hall right now.”

James nodded lightly and said, “Alright. Let’s go. Lead the way.”
“This way, please.”
Laelia gestured to him and turned to leave.
James followed behind her.
After passing through the backyard, they arrived in the palace’s main hall, situated in the front yard.
When they reached, many people were already gathered in the main hall. Most of them were members of the
Targwyn family.
Sitting at the head of the table was a middle-aged man in a robe embroidered with a dragon. He brimmed with
extraordinary charisma.
An ordinary person would have to kneel in the presence of the Emperor. However, James was also an Emperor, and
a strong one at that. Thus, he merely clasped his fists together upon seeing the Tabal Empire’s Emperor.
Zoe invited with a smile, “Please be seated.”
Soon, a servant brought a chair to him.
James took a seat.
Sitting at the head of the table, Zoe said cheerily, “Mr. Caden, I’m really grateful for helping us. If you hadn’t
rescued us, our family wouldhave met its unfortunate doom. To express our gratitude for your life-saving grace,

I’ve decided to betroth Laelia to you.”
“Huh?”
James was nonplussed.
Inside the main hall, Laelia lowered her reddened face and was embarrassed to look at James.
Zoe said with a smile, “Our family has also decided to bestow you our family’s heirloom, the jade pendant, as a
dowry. Although we don’t know the exact function of this jade pendant, it’s definitely a great treasure. Moreover,
you’ll be granted access to our ancestral lands to look for treasure after marrying Laelia.”
Although James really wanted the Burial Jade, he did not want to obtain it through marriage.
He stood up and said apologetically, “Your Majesty, I’m incredibly sorry. I’m already married and can’t take Laelia as
my wife.”
“I see…”
Zoe looked disappointed.
Then, James said with a smile, “However, I’m very interested in the jade pendant and the Targwyns’ ancestral land.
If you insist on repaying me, I’d be happy to accept the jade pendant and explore your ancestral land.”
