These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues CH 019 No Women

After breakfast, Lei Jin once again proposed to go out for a walk, but Roger’s answer was still in disagreement.

Although Lei Jin felt that Roger would not harm him, every time he mentioned going out, Roger unconsciously became nervous, letting him know that Roger must be hiding something from him.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But Lei Jin really felt bored. After he arrived at Roger’s house, these past few days were spent only helping Roger water the vegetable garden, helping Roger with cooking, taking a bath by the creek at night, and coming back to hug the little guy for a night’s sleep till dawn.

Speaking of this bath, Lei Jin was now only going over as soon as it got dark. He was afraid that he would encounter the same situation as last time. Although he did not mind, it was hard to guarantee whether the other side would not be angry and drive him out. Now then he would really be in trouble.

Although when he was an orphan, he had been out in society by himself, but that was still a place familiar to him, unlike now, he couldn’t even speak the language let alone understand the ins and outs.

Lei Jin sat on the threshold in a daze, the little guy rubbed his palm with his furry little head every once in a while.

Lei Jin finally couldn’t help laughing, took him in his arms, and kneaded his slender fingers gently along his back. The little guy was so comfortable he actually fell asleep, Lei Jin sighed and said, “Little guy, I really want to go out for a walk, what is this world like? Why does Roger’s expression look so strange whenever I mention going out?”

Mingya turned over, licked Lei Jin’s face, and thought to himself: Papa of course can’t let you go out. You are a female without a male werebeast now, and you will definitely be taken away by other werebeasts without a female when you go out.

Eldest Brother and Second Brother said that other than the first night, their female was still very alert when he slept, and their werebeast scent on him was already so faint it was barely noticeable.

“Do you want to go out and see that much?” Seeing Lei Jin frowning all the time today, Roger knew what he was thinking. He was like that when he first came here. He also wanted to understand the world and find a way back.

“I just want to go out for a walk, doing nothing every day, I am practically suffocating.” Lei Jin stood up from the threshold with the little guy in his arms, and paced two steps back and forth in the yard a little irritably.

“Okay.” Since it was time to face the reality sooner or later, it was better to know it earlier, to be mentally prepared earlier, and to have vigilant alert against his sons. Seeing how ignorant he was every day, Roger was also a little anxious for him. After all, he knew his own sons very well. Once they really make a move, don’t even mention Xiya and Moya not leaving him a way out. Even his youngest son, who might still be young and liked to act like a spoiled child, but his instinct as a male werebeast was not lacking at all.

“Moya will go out to collect firewood after lunch, you can go out with him.”

“Papa?”

Lei Jin hadn’t reacted yet. He could only understand the gist of what Roger said now, but sp long as the sentences were longer, he would have to take a while to understand. But Mingya had already heard it in his ears. When Lei Jin didn’t pay attention, he slipped out from Lei Jin’s arms, ran to Roger’s side, raised his small paws, and tugged at Roger’s trouser legs.

“How many times have I said it, call me Papa.” Roger’s eyes narrowed and he twisted his little son’s ear.

“Papa.” Mingya pouted in an aggrieved manner, why did other people’s children called Ah Me, but their family they had to call Papa. Ah Me is too fierce.

“Papa, what if our female is taken away?”

“You think your second brother is a little idiot like you.” Apart from this youngest son, he was not at all worried about those two older sons. With those two around, if Lei Jin couldn’t go back, he would definitely be only his sons’ female. As for other possibilities, Roger didn’t even need to think about it.

Lei Jin thought about it for a while, and then he realized that he could go out. The clouds and fog on his face disappeared in an instant, his expression brightening like the moon. He gave Roger a hug, patted his shoulder heartily, and said with a smile: “Thank you, Roger.”

An Luo came out of the room at that time. Seeing this, he frowned in confusion, thinking to himself: What is the female brought by his sons doing, what is so exciting?

Seeing An Luo frowning, Lei Jin understood immediately. After all, his lover was being hugged by another man, any man would be jealous. Lei Jin winked at Roger suggestively, let him go, and cast him a look that said “Everyone here is a man, I understand”.

Roger was confused by him, followed Lei Jin’s eyes to see An Luo, and sighed heavily. He couldn’t help but curse in his heart: Lei Jin, you don’t understand a damn thing!

After all, although he didn’t say anything about his affairs with An Sen and An Luo, he didn’t deliberately hide it. Lei Jin finding out was reasonable, but Lei Jin, how could An Luo be feeling jealousy about you, in the eyes of male werebeasts, we are both females, so don’t even mention seeing us hugging, even seeing us sleeping on the same bed without clothes on, they would only think that we are good friends, and probably won’t think about other things. What could two females do together?

“Qi Luo, you’re here.” Seeing someone pushing in the door, An Luo called out.

The person who came was their neighbor, the young man who led Lei Jin to Roger’s house that day, Qi Luo. Behind him also followed a few tall male werebeasts.

“Second Uncle An.” Qi Luo greeted him respectfully. The other people also voiced greetings one after another.

But since they came in, the eyes of these male werebeasts were practically glued to Lei Jin, who looked at Roger in confusion and frowned.

The rumor had already spread in the tribe that Mingya came back from training with a beautiful female, but many people have never seen it for themselves. Today, everyone happened to be together. When the conversation came to this topic, Qi Luo mentioned that he had seen this female. When the female entered the tribe, he was the one who showed him the way.

Although they didn’t intend to snatch him for themselves, everyone would just be happy to meet the rumored beautiful female. The several people decided, and Qi Luo took the lead immediately, so they all came over together.

As expected, he was as beautiful as the rumors, his skin was smooth and fair. Looking even softer than those clothes worn by females in the tribe, black hair, black eyes. Such a rare eye color, they looked very bright, like the starry sky at night, mysterious and beautiful. His figure also looked very healthy, and would definitely give birth to strong offspring.

This was practically the most beautiful female the tribe had seen since Xiya’s Ah Ma came.

Why was Xiya’s family so lucky? Every time a beautiful female from outside was always picked up by them.

No matter how shameless Lei Jin was, he also felt a little uncomfortable to be looked at by so many eyes, and these people’s eyes, why did they feel like they were full of tenderness and envy? Just like the way some men looked at women in his previous life.

What the hell was with the tenderness and envy? He was not a woman, and he was not narcissistic enough to think his appearance was to the point where even men could be attracted to him. Weird, something weird was absolutely going on. Could it be that the women in this world were already scarce to such an extent that these tall and strong men had to start looking at weaker men?

“Beautiful female, what’s your name?” A red-haired werebeast seemed to summon up his courage, his face flushed redder than his hair. He took two steps forward, and the corners of his mouth stiffly into what he thought was a very charming smile.

Female, what the hell kind of title was this?

“Hello, I’m Lei Jin.” Lei Jin still nodded and smiled, and habitually stretched out his right hand.

The red-haired werebeast Kai was at a loss for a moment, staring at the small white hand in front of him, what did this female mean?

Under the eyes of other male werebeasts, either jealous or envious, Kai tentatively tried to touch that hand, only to feel pain in his foot. Mingya was waving his small paws to greet him, baring his teeth: “He is our female.”

Lei Jin only felt something tighten on his wrist, and he was grabbed and pulled over by the person behind him.

“Moya?”

Moya’s dark green eyes had flames crackling in them.

“Papa, I want to tell him.” If he didn’t tell him, this female would be taken advantage of by everyone in his ignorance, and even think he had earned a good deal. The words were addressed to Roger.

“Tell me what?” Lei Jin wanted to break free of the hold on his wrist. But it was held tighter, like a pair of pliers. Lei Jin tried his best and didn’t manage to shake it in the slightest bit, and was a little startled for a while. He actually had no power to fight back under Moya’s hands.

“Roger, you tell him to let me go, I’m not his woman, that I need his consent to shake hands with others?” Roger, you are at least his stepmother, say something. Lei Jin shouted in his heart.

“Lei Jin.” Roger had a rare serious expression on his face, calling him solemnly, then looked at his second and youngest sons, as if he had made up his mind.

“The following words, I will speak very slowly, I hope you can understand clearly.”

“What are you talking about, Roger, why are you being so solemn?” Lei Jin snorted, but he felt a little unsettled in his heart. He intuitively knew that the following words were not what he wanted to hear. Roger seemed to be about to tell him something very serious. And he would very likely understand a lot of things he hadn’t before, but it was definitely not a good thing for him, otherwise, Roger’s eyes would not be so sharp and solemn.

“Lei Jin, I’ll just say it once, listen carefully, there are no women in this world.”

“No women? Roger, you’re kidding, without women how could there be children. Unless you are saying man jumped out of a crack in a stone?” Because Roger spoke slowly, Lei Jin understood it almost immediately. He pointed to these people and asked.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“There are no women, but there are people who can have children, and that is…..a female.” Roger didn’t fully understand what he said, but he understood it from his gestures.

“Female? What is that?” Wait, what did they call me just now? Female? In their eyes, he was a female who could give birth to their children?

All of you, go die! Lei Jin exploded.

TN: sorry for the confusion, the natives of this world call the person (‘female’) who gave birth to them Ah Ma. But in Roger’s household, Ah Ma and Papa will be used interchangeably.

Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 050 Advance Or You’ll Retreat, Live Or You’ll Die

Feng Qingxiu did have some understanding of the conflict between the two lineages, but in his eyes, it seemed to be no different from other competitions between peaks, and it was no big deal.

Because according to the records of the Kun-Lai factional system, from the day when Kun-Lai was established, although they worked together against external parties, there was no internal harmony between the peaks and various lineages. It was said that this habit originated from the Kun-Lai Seven Elders—that was, it was passed down from the seven junior brothers and sisters of the Sect Leader.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The gratitudes and grudges of various peaks and various lineages could be written on hundreds of jade tablets.

For example, when he just got the Net Charm at the outer sect, he encountered the custom-made Cloud Talisman Dao Seed being issued, so he watched the Battle of the Dao Seed among several peaks on the Net Charm, which was extremely lively indeed.

For example, when the Qingdi Peak lineage competed for the resource of the Cloud Talisman Dao Seed, it was necessary to fight against several peak lines that specialized in planting or have an important role in spiritual planting.

Qingnu raised the banner and fought each peak decisively.

If they encountered Shennong Peak, they would diss: Isn’t it just farming, do you even make as much income as growing spiritual plants?

If they encountered Jiedu Peak, they would diss: Those who play with poison are all evil, harming others and harming themselves, trash peak! The sect should just demote it back to our Qingdi Peak!

If it was Danding Peak: pretentious lot, it’s just a different packaging from our spiritual herbs!

If it was Yushou Peak: what kind of Dao Seeds do you need to plant spiritual plants, and what kind of spiritual plants do spiritual beasts even need, can’t you go to Shennong Peak?

And also Tianshui Peak: what are water spirit demons making trouble for, it’s enough for you to just have water, why do you want land as well?

***

As above and so on, of course, Shennong Peak and other big inner peaks would definitely not show weakness and diss back, “A group of crazies who cut people every day asking for Dao Seeds is also a waste.” It was estimated that Qingdi Peak has already become immune to this based on how many times they have heard it from their opponents already.

He even heard that several peak masters directly broke out into fisticuffs, and the tables and chairs in the discussion hall ended up having to be replaced by another batch.

And not long ago, when he left the mountain gate to oversee the Dragon-Phoenix Selection, the main network had already turned white hot because of the preparations for the expedition.

Let’s take the example of Qingdi Peak, which was led by Qingnu: towards Taiyi Peak (why do you need to increase the price of building another flying peak, it would be simpler to just rob us honest folks!), Wenjian Peak (the treatments for injuries are just that expensive, if you think it’s too expensive, don’t treat it!) and all the other battle type peaks (we have the final say in the treatment of injuries, as long as we can cure them, what are you afraid of, you cowards!)

***

Fortunately, these were all matters of high-level Kun-Lai cultivators, and the lower-level disciples were far less nervous. Their usual style was: Wenjian Peak: come over, we want bodyguards, Danding Peak: come over, there’s money to make, and Yushou Peak: come over, remember to give discounts on the meat, and throw in some cheaper spiritual rice, are there any that are about to expire…

So what was so scary about the conflict between the two lineages?

He was a human and Senior Sister Tu was a spirit demon, but they didn’t fight!

Feng Qingxiu couldn’t comprehend for a while.

So he asked how it happened.

“What right do they have to say I can’t enter Kun-Lai, my father is the Emperor of Great Yan, and I have the blood of the human race in my body, why can’t I enter the Dragon-Phoenix Selection with Great Yan’s household registration?” Shui Lanlan argued, “What right do they have to say my father betrayed the human race? The water spirit demon clans have lived here much earlier than the human race. If it wasn’t for the water spirit demons, would you have survived here?”

Feng Qingxiu immediately knew the crux of the problem.

This Shui Lanlan girl was actually a mix of human and spirit demon. In this case, if she used the identity of a spirit demon, her parents must both have a Dao Disc in Kun-Lai before she could enter the outer sect, but her parents did not. If she used the identity of the human race, then she completely met the requirement of attending the Dragon-Phoenix Selection.

“Is that why someone tried to stop her from going to Kun-Lai?” Feng Qingxiu asked softly.

“Naturally, if this opening is made, and there are mixed-blood descendants, the Kun-Lai rules could be avoided. Of course, Peak Master Bai Liu would not be willing to see this.” Senior Sister Tu seemed to be very disgusted by the Qingdi Peak Master, “He is still hoping to help that group of useless trash get a little more opportunities, which is just a waste. Fortunately, there is Qingnu who has put Qingdi Peak back on the right track over the years, otherwise I really don’t know just how chaotic it would have become.”

This was actually a problem caused by money.

Kun-Lai had always had a lot of surplus. In order to encourage people from the mountain sect to participate in various competitions, many rewards were often issued, regardless of race and age and even outsiders could join (Hall of Merit: Why can’t outsiders win awards? If you can’t even defeat those outsiders, then is Kun-Lai spending so much money just to raise a bunch of Kun-Lai rats?).

And these resources were usually the key ones that the orphans under Bai Liu competed for, and many Kun-Lai spirit demons would also fight for as well. In Bai Liu’s eyes, these resources were exchanged by the Kun-Lai cultivators with their blood. It should be given to the humans and not the spirit demons, and he even proposed to expel the spirit demon clans several times at high-level gatherings, causing conflicts and becoming the fuse for the conflict between the two Kun-Lai lineages.

In the eyes of Peak Master You Bazhua, this was simply a joke. Could it be that when the spirit demons went on the expeditions together, they didn’t lose any numbers or had any casualties, and they all just went to buy soy sauce? (TN: to buy soy sauce=slang for none of my business/to not be involved/to be disinterested)

Why should Bai Liu have others bear the responsibility of the mistakes he made back then? Qingnu and the disciples under her were also orphans from the Battle of Yuntian Domain. How come Qingnu could stand up and become a great beam of support?

Besides, the rights of the spirit demon clans in Kun-Lai were already very limited. Just the fact that the Dragon-Phoenix Selection did ​​not allow spirit demons that were already part of Kun-Lai to participate, how many spirit demons had gotten cut out of the opportunity?

If you have the ability then drive away all the spirit demons in Kun-Lai, those who act as transits, those who act as guardian beasts, those who transport goods, those who deal with garbage disposal, those who mine, those who farm, and those who participate in research. If all of them were driven away, just who would lose more!

Did you really still think Kun-Lai was that little sect from hundreds of years ago!

Even if they gave up these jobs, would Bai Liu’s group of trash with eyes growing on the top of their heads be willing to take over?

Therefore, the two sides were often at war with each other, and the disciples on either side were also full of anger. This was the conflict between the two lineages.

Feng Qingxiu didn’t want to get involved, but the problem now was that he had to be the one in charge.

And he had the power to call the shots.

Becoming the only apprentice of Kun-Lai, he himself represented a part of the Sect Leader’s will.

After remaining silent for a while, Feng Qingxiu looked serious: “Then you must enter Kun-Lai no matter what?”

“Of course!” Miss Shui said decisively.

“As a human?” Feng Qingxiu confirmed again.

“Of course!” Miss Shui affirmed.

“Okay, then, I allow you to join in the Dragon-Phoenix Selection, but in the future your Dao Disc in Kun-Lai will state the human race and cannot be changed.” Feng Qingxiu stared at her, “Go, remember your choice today.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother! I will not forget this in the future.” Miss Shui smiled and rushed out quickly, running towards the Heart Asking Stone in the city.

Feng Qingxiu sighed softly, spoke briefly to his senior sister and Ji Mingyu, and went back to his room.

At the same time, he sternly refused the request to help them carve a miniature figurine of his master.

Back in the room, Feng Qingxiu respectfully put the pouch on the table, took a step back, and watched quietly.

Then his master popped of the pouch.

Feng Qingxiu was killed again by the cuteness, and his eyes were a little dazed when he looked at the jade man.

After a while, he blushed under his master’s smiling gaze: “Master, I let that girl go because I think it’s originally what you intended when you started the Dragon-Phoenix Selection, to give opportunities to those who want to seek the Dao. Only if one is not afraid or jealous of others, can one advance further, and it is also because the spirit demons represent both help and motivation to the human race, so you let the spirit demons into the mountain… am I right?”

His master looked at the shy little apprentice with a smile, and said casually: “Xiao Qing is really smart, the spirit demon race is originally too rough of a collective name. Kun-Lai is more lively with them, isn’t it? With me here, nothing will happen.”

In his opinion, the saying “what was not my race must have a different heart” was not necessarily correct. After all, it was not like a single race all had the same heart, right?

That they would divide among themselves, it could only be said that the benefits were not enough.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Thank you, Master.” With that being said, Feng Qingxiu was still a little uneasy, “But if there are too many spirit demons in the future… In the future, I mean very far in the future, would it become bad for the sect?”

Ji Yunlai looked at him, and suddenly chuckled: “My apprentice, why look ahead with such prudence, if that’s really the case, Kun-Lai can just fall apart.”

Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity CH 188 Corruption

The Meng family was not a big family in the capital where high-ranking officials were everywhere. Most of the officials in the capital look down on officials from other places. To be an official directly under the emperor, even a sixth rank official was better than a fifth rank in an outer province. It was even more extraordinary for those who could attend the morning assembly to discuss governmental matters. They were basically the emperor’s iron supports, and each and every one had been trained to be very obedient over the years.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Laoye, Er Lang and San Lang have sent a letter.” The old servant walked in quickly.

The Meng family had five sons. The greatest achievement of Meng laoye in this life was his ability to have sons. He had no talent himself. He wasn’t like other rich hedonistic sons who liked to invent new things, nor was he as talented in literary pursuits as the sons of aristocratic families. After reaching old age and looking back, only one advantage stood out, which was having sons, and all of them survived into adulthood.

Da Lang was a district chief in the capital, a small official of the seventh rank, but this was the capital’s district chief, so many people wanted to squeeze into the position but couldn’t.

Er Lang and San Lang were officials in an outside province, they were both of the fifth rank. Don’t think the fifth rank is all that impressive, it would be completely different after returning to Beijing. They were transferred every five years, unlike Da Lang in Beijing, the officials in Beijing would not move unless they had made mistakes.

After reading the letter, Meng laoye paced the room anxiously: “I told them not to make trouble for their eldest brother!”

Meng laoye just had one belief, the Meng family still had to rely on the eldest son, the second and third were unreliable characters.

“Go, find my eldest.” Meng laoye thought over and over again and instructed the old servant.

The old servant whispered: “Laoye, the eldest gongzi is in the government office, how could he come back so casually?”

Meng laoye took a deep breath: “Tell him to ask for leave, I insist that he come back today!”

“District Chief!” The subordinate called at the door.

Meng Dalang stood up, confused: “What’s the matter?”

Subordinate: “Someone from your home came and said that there is an urgent matter and asked you to ask for leave to go back.”

Meng Dalang frowned slightly: “What urgent matter? I’m busy, how can I leave.”

He was planning to implement a street cleaning team these days, and he was very busy. His district was part of the experimental area. When the time came, and someone above came to check them, if everyone else did a good job while he did a bad job, then it didn’t matter if there was a reward or not. The important thing was that he didn’t want to lose face and be the laughingstock of the capital.

The subordinate said again: “They said that your father is ill.”

Meng Dalang could only rush back.

That father of his, always said that he was sick whenever he had something going on. Meng Dalang felt that if his father really became sick, it would be because he had cursed himself to be sick after using the excuse too many times.

When Meng Dalang rushed home, he saw his father sitting on a chair crying.

Meng Dalang sighed: “What trouble did you get into? Why are you crying?”

Meng laoye quickly stepped forward and grabbed Meng Dalang’s hand: “Son! You must help your brothers!”

Meng Dalang was confused: “Help them what?”

Seeing his eldest son’s upright appearance, Meng laoye swallowed and handed the letter to him.

Meng Dalang read it quickly, his frown deepening. He tilted his head and looked at Meng laoye in disbelief: “They actually dare to do such things outside?”

Meng laoye swallowed and quickly explained: “I, I just found out, don’t be angry yet, what they did was indeed wrong, but they are family, they are outside, while we are in Beijing, and we should help each other.”

“This time they just want to ask you to help find a way and give some gifts to the higher-ups.” Meng laoye looked at his son, and had difficulty speaking.

Meng Dalang squeezed the letter in his hand, and his forehead bulged with blue veins. He said angrily, “Now they think of looking for a higher up to bribe? It’s too late! This year’s major investigation, even I didn’t get the wind in advance!”

Meng Dalang suddenly paused, widened his eyes and asked, “It’s not just this year?”

Meng laoye swallowed.

Meng Dalang squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: “How many years?”

Seeing his son’s appearance, Meng laoye was afraid that his son would go crazy and beat him, so he quickly said: “I don’t know, I just received the letter! How could I have known they are so daring outside! If I knew, I would have told you long ago!”

Meng laoye: “…..What’s the use of talking about this now? We must think about how to cover it up, you can’t watch them die, right?”

Meng Dalang sneered: “Father, if we let them die, then our family could still be saved, if we don’t, then the whole family will die together!”

Meng laoye: “It’s not that serious, is it?”

Meng Dalang: “What kind of smart people do you think the two of them are? Writing to ask now, it must be because the major investigation had already caught onto them. The department in charge of this major investigation is the Court of Censors! What kind of place is the Court of Censors? They dare to even investigate a high official of the first rank and pull him off his horse!”

“Father, you have a bad memory, do you want me to tell you more about how His Majesty cut down corrupt officials before he ascended the throne?” Meng Dalang was furious, “Are our salaries low?! They are outside, which is not like Beijing, things are cheap there, and their salary is worth more than enough there than in the capital! Besides, His Majesty has already reserved space for taxation in various places, so those who have enough brains would not dip their toes into this muddy water!”

Meng laoye whispered beside him, “Who would complain about too much money…..”

Meng Dalang: “I do!”

“Father, it’s not easy for our Meng family.” Meng Dalang couldn’t beat up his old father so he took a deep breath, “You took me to follow His Majesty all the way to the capital. When we first arrived, we were so poor that we couldn’t even eat fully. That we have our present wealth is all due to His Majesty’s kindness, and I, the eldest son of the Meng family, have been hardworking and conscientious, and dared not make any mistakes.”

Meng Dalang looked ten years older. He raised his head: “If there was no major investigation, there is still a chance to recover. But the major investigation has begun. It’s just a matter of seeing when they will fall, sooner or later.”

“There is no need to reply, I will resign tomorrow.”

Meng laoye said in shock: “Resign? Resign what! Anyone in our family can resign! Only you can’t resign!”

Meng Dalang said in surprise: “Father, you still know this? Do you still know that I am a Beijing official? Do you know how many heads are enough to make up for the things they embezzled? I? Those two are my younger brothers, you say, who would believe that I didn’t give them convenience in the capital? You can’t write the Meng character in one stroke, Father!”

Meng laoye finally knew to be afraid, and his whole body was shaking: “Is there any other way? I will write to them and have them return the money and to resign and admit their mistakes!”

Meng Dalang looked at his father in disbelief. Was his father so stupid?

Meng Dalang: “Father, there is no need to say anymore, I’m going to resign early tomorrow. Second and Third Brother have separated households from us. At most, I can only protect my branch of the family and you, as for Second and Third Brother…..On the day of execution, I will bring them a jug of wine.”

Meng laoye: “No, no, does it have to be a death sentence? I saw that corrupt officials were also arrested a few days ago. Wasn’t the most serious punishment to be imprisoned for ten years?”

Meng Dalang smiled and said, “Then do you know how much they embezzled?”

Meng laoye shook his head: “As long as it is embezzlement, it should be more, right?”

Meng Dalang shouted: “They embezzled a lot, but more importantly others don’t dare to embezzle the money sent by the imperial court for disaster relief! They don’t dare to embezzle the survival money of orphans and widows!”

Meng laoye’s legs softened, and he knelt down directly.

“Maybe they won’t be able to find out, maybe they were careful…..” Meng laoye said to himself, still holding a faint hope.

Meng Dalang looked at his father and thought of his two younger brothers who were clever but not smart where it counted since childhood, and sighed silently: “Father, I won’t be an official in the future, and won’t be able to live in the capital anymore, I will tell Wanhua to go pack up, sell the shop and the valuables that are difficult to bring. We’ll go to Jiangnan, just in time for your retirement.”

Meng laoye said almost frantically: “Our Meng family! Our Meng family over these many years! Just when we finally managed to have officials in the family!”

Meng Dalang supported his father: “Father, don’t be afraid, this is not the most difficult time.”

“I already have a son. If I fall into this too, you will listen to Wanhua. Wanhua will know what to do.” Meng Dalang looked out the window, his eyes lost.

He himself did not know what kind of future awaited him.

Was he wrong? Was it because he didn’t take care of his younger brothers and failed to focus on them?

He knew that they would experience more temptations when they were appointed as officials, but why did he always believe that his younger brothers didn’t have the daring?

However, in fact, thwg did have daring, and they already had it long ago, eight years ago!

Meng Dalang took a deep breath, he told the old servant to take good care of Meng laoye, and went to the study by himself to write his resignation letter.

Don’t know what the regulations above…..would be, whether or not he could guarantee his life.

In the imperial palace, Lin Yuan was sitting in front of his desk, holding the memorials sent by fast horses in his hand, all of them came from all over the country, and they were sent only after the Court of Censors had iron-clad evidence.

If the water was clear, there would be no fish. Lin Yuan understood this truth. Excessive suppression would only lead to a greater rebound. In the past, his methods were violent. If he caught one, he would chop their head off. Now he no longer did such a thing. Regarding the handling of corrupt officials, there were also laws and examples to follow now.

He had re-established the salaries for officials and cadres according to their economic conditions, which could ensure that their lives were worry-free.

It was equivalent to these officials getting 10,000 when the basic salary was only 3,000.

It was enough to support a family, and officials usually have their own shops and lands, so they could live a good life easily.

They themselves knew what would await corruption, and they only served five-year terms. If the local economy improved and the people’s happiness index increased, the path to promotion was something they could see. Now that there was a rigid review, who would not want to return to the capital to become capital officials?

So in the past few years, there have been far fewer corrupt officials than before.

Lin Yuan looked at it for a while, and his face became more and more solemn. He pursed his lips tightly, and just when Lin Yuan was about to rage, Lin Yuan leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath.

Er Liang asked cautiously, “Your Majesty, it is late.”

Lin Yuan stood up: “Bring Zhen a bowl of beef noodles.”

Then he thought about it and said, “Two bowls.”

“Yes.” Er Liang asked the attendant to pass on the request to the imperial kitchen, and accompanied Lin Yuan back to the living quarters.

Chen Baisong was now training in the barracks during the day and returning to the palace at night. He was currently enjoying himself, sitting on a soft stool and playing chess with himself.

Lin Yuan had someone create this soft stool. The main reason was that sitting on a hard stool for a long time not only hurt the buttocks, but might also cause sores.

“I knew you didn’t sleep, so I asked the imperial kitchen to deliver two bowls of beef noodles.” Lin Yuan sat opposite Chen Baisong, picked up a black piece and played with Chen Baisong.

The two of them weren’t very good at chess, shabby chess skills against shabby chess skills, and in the end it was Lin Yuan who won.

Chen Baisong raised his head and asked, “What’s the matter? Coming in with such a stern face?”

Lin Yuan smiled: “Is it so obvious?”

Chen Baisong thought about it and said seriously, “It’s not very obvious either.”

Lin Yuan sighed, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappearing. He had been in a high position for a long time, even a slight frown was enough to make people terrified, and only Chen Baisong was not afraid of him now. He said: “Corrupt officials can never be killed off.”

Chen Baisong: “You only know this now?”

Lin Yuan: “I know, I know, but I’m tired of having investigations every few years.”

Although not many were found every time, there were always those who were so greedy that he was speechless.

“There are two brothers surnamed Meng.” Lin Yuan was expressionless, “the older brother finished embezzling and then the younger brother continued. In the same place. The provincial government said it didn’t know when they were appointed, do you believe it?”

Chen Baisong shook his head: “I don’t believe it, even if they don’t belong to the same clan, they should still check out their backgrounds if it was the same surname.”

Lin Yuan: “Now Hong Xiu is asking me if the provincial government needs to be investigated.”

“The provincial government…..If you pull one thread, it will affect the rest. Even if you want to make a move, you must minimize the impact.” Lin Yuan took a sip of warm water.

The attendant in the imperial kitchen brought in the beef noodles. Because it was a late-night snack, the portion was not large, but because it was in a large bowl, it would give people the illusion that they couldn’t finish it, but the bowl was so shallow that just two bites and it was gone. Two slices of beef in sauce were placed on top, and little chopped green onions and green leafy vegetables garnished it, which made it look very appetizing.

Chen Baisong took a mouthful of noodles: “That troublesome?”

Lin Yuan nodded: “What is not troublesome if it’s related to the government.”

“Those two men surnamed Meng are nothing, just local officials. Although they embezzled a lot, but there is not much power in their hands, and just embezzled disaster relief money. Just have them beheaded and their homes seized and that’s the end of it.”

“It’s mainly the provincial government…..that they were so daring, the provincial government must have contributed greatly.”

Chen Baisong heard Lin Yuan’s voice and knew that Lin Yuan had murderous intentions, and asked, “Should I make a trip?”

Lin Yuan looked up at Chen Baisong: “You?”

Chen Baisong smiled and said: “What? I can’t go? Young master thinks I’m useless?”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, “I originally wanted to have the princess’s consort go.”

The princess’s consort was also part of the Lin family, and even if he had no ability, he could still take charge.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

And he did not have the skill for doing this kind of thing originally, so it would lower the guards of the provincial government.

“Then escort the princess’s consort to go there.” Lin Yuan took a sip of noodle soup, “Keep the truth from the princess’s consort, and only tell him that he is just going to greet the provincial government on behalf of the imperial family.”

Chen Baisong chewed the beef: “Alright.”

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 143 I Have

“…..According to the survey, the top ten most effective temples in Hong Kong are Wong Tai Sin Temple, Man Mo Temple, Tin Hau Temple, Causeway Bay, Temple Hill Kwun Yam Buddhist Temple, Chuk Lam Sim Monastery…..”

Li Xiaoheng always paid attention to efficiency no matter what he did. Tao Mu had just finished saying that he wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha, when Li Xiaoheng immediately sent someone to inquire about the famous Daoist temples in Hong Kong, and even arranged the driver and tour guide.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Thinking about warding off evil and keeping safety in mind, Tao Mu didn’t even have the mind to train, so he directly asked the instructor for a day off, and took Li Xiaoheng to worship the Buddha according to the tour route.

This was the first time Tao Mu had asked for leave during training time in such a long time. Everyone was suddenly curious about Li Xiaoheng’s identity. The iron-masked instructor was still as expressionless as ever, even though his heart was like a bullet screen with words spilling across, as he approved Tao Mu’s leave of vacation.

Before leaving, Shen Yu walked over with an expression as if he was going to cry, and asked Tao Mu if he was angry with him: “You have never asked for leave during training time before. Today, big brother Yan and the two teachers have come to experience police academy life, yet you have to ask for leave today. It must be because I made you angry, right?”

There were so many things wrong about these words one simply didn’t know where to start. Tao Mu was still thinking about the plot halo on Shen Yu that was invisible and intangible, but could still always make his IQ disappear without a sound. He was anxious to ward off evil spirits and was too lazy to bother with Shen Yu.

In contrast, Li Xiaoheng looked at Shen Yu with a little curiosity. He still remembered this young son of the Shen family with the bizarre brain circuit. Now it seemed that this little young master was not only confused in the head, his ability to mix up right and wrong was also quite powerful.

“What happened?” Li Xiaoheng looked down at Tao Mu, and keenly felt that the reason why his little consultant was acting erratically was probably influenced by the person in front of him.

Tao Mu frowned, subconsciously not wanting to mention Shen Yu in front of Li Xiaoheng: “It’s fine.”

“How can it be fine!” Shen Yu frowned and looked at Li Xiaoheng with an innocent and naive face: “Mu Mu was angry with big brother Yan because big brother Yan’s fans scolded him. And said that idols pay for the actions of their fans. I just felt that there is no need for big brother Yan to apologize to Mu Mu for other people’s mistakes. Then Mu Mu got angry with me again. Mr. Li, since you are Mu Mu’s good friend, can you help me persuade him to not be so stingy? Everyone is colleagues here, we have to work together in the future, why can’t we all be happy. Why must we make the atmosphere so tense?”

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with these words. Even Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming were confused into believing Shen Yu’s words. Intuitively feeling that Tao Mu was indeed a little stingy. But deep down, they also felt that something was wrong.

The only one who had a clear idea was Li Xiaoheng: “I’m curious, what position does Mr. Shen say this from?” With Li Xiaoheng’s personality, he was too lazy to bother with someone like Shen Yu. In the face of such a troublesome child with brain problems, Li Xiaoheng’s solution had always been to have a direct dialogue with the guardian. But things were different now. Tao Mu still had to work with these people for a while. If possible, it was best to be more harmonious with his colleagues. Therefore, Li Xiaoheng didn’t allow Shen Yu to sow discord and affect other people’s views on Tao Mu.

Shen Yu said confidently: “Of course as Mu Mu’s friend. Although Mu Mu doesn’t admit that I am his good friend. But I have always felt that he is my friend.”

“So Mr. Shen’s way of treating friends is to stand on the moral high ground and help another person to accuse your friend whom you have one-sidedly befriended?” Li Xiaoheng logically described Shen Yu’s behavior, and then asked Yan Sheng: “Mr. Yan’s fans have been criticizing Tao Mu’s acting skills online and even attacking Tao Mu personally. Mr. Yan should have heard of this.”

Li Xiaoheng used affirmative sentences. Yan Sheng could only say with a wry smile, “I’ve already apologized to CEO Tao face to face for this.”

“Why did you apologize to Tao Mu?” Li Xiaoheng asked back, pointing directly at the heart of the matter: “Tao Mu doesn’t know you at all, nor does he know your fans. If Mr. Yan thinks that the behavior of fans has nothing to do with their idols, then there is naturally no need for you to apologize. If you acknowledge that idols should pay for the actions of their fans, shouldn’t the correct approach be to restrain your fans from spreading nasty words around?”

“So why did you apologize to Tao Mu?” Li Xiaoheng looked directly at Yan Sheng, and asked in a deep voice, “What position do you apologize from?”

As expected of a fight machine among domineering CEOs, Li Xiaoheng’s logic was very clear. In a few words, the matter and the positions of all parties were smoothed out.

The large group of people suddenly realized. Yes, no matter what Yan Sheng thought of his fans’ behavior, it was an established fact that his fans maliciously slandered Tao Mu before the two even met. Tao Mu, who was innocently sprayed by vitriol, had a reason to hate Yan Sheng. As an idol with a high degree of restraint on his fans, Yan Sheng could either ignore the behavior of his fans, or strictly prohibit his fans from biting others. But his choice was to apologize to Tao Mu inexplicably——this was a bit like a provocation.

Do you want Tao Mu to forgive you or not? If he didn’t forgive, then he was being stingy. If he forgave, then didn’t that mean Tao Mu was scolded for half a year for nothing? And then later Yan Sheng could put out the news “film king apologizes magnanimously, CEO Tao shook hands and made peace” to hype it up. If they were Tao Mu, they would all be suffocated to death by the injustice of it all. What was more, the grudge between the two was not only about this matter.

Li Xiaoheng once again turned his attention to Shen Yu: “Speaking of which, the reason why Tao Mu was chased and scolded by Yan Sheng’s fans was because Mr. Shen had previously commented that Yan Sheng’s acting skills were not as good as Tao Mu’s, wasn’t it? What, time has passed, and everyone has forgotten the originator that is Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen and film king Yan have become good brothers?”

The others didn’t know about this melon. After all, FlyNews.com was only popular in the mainland at the beginning, and it hadn’t been that long for Hong Kong to follow along. Wang Jinsheng, Luo Daming, and the other veteran actors and actresses didn’t even register FlyNews.com accounts, and naturally they didn’t pay attention to the past grievances between Shen Yu and Tao Mu.

But if what Li Xiaoheng said was true, then Shen Yu was not ordinary at all. He started the discord, but in the end he hugged Yan Sheng’s thigh, and then even teamed up with Yan Sheng to step on Tao Mu. This operation was a bit backstabbing and b*tchy.

Li Xiaoheng solved the matter clearly in just a few words. He nodded at the two veteran actors, Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming, and said politely, “Our Tao Mu will be acting in a movie for the first time and have no experience before. I also hope that the two seniors will give some advice and take care of him.”

Previously, the principal of the police academy gave an introduction to everyone. Everyone knew that Li Xiaoheng was the founder of Xiaoheng Capital. Hong Kong people were very concerned about the financial situation. Everyone had heard the news that Xiaoheng Capital had gone shorting in the international market and made a lot of money. Faced with this level of capital, everyone naturally wanted to make friends with him.

What was more, Tao Mu himself had the potential to attract friends as well. So Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming just looked at each other and smiled, nodded and said, “CEO Li, don’t worry. We two old fellas and Tao Mu hit it off at first glance. We all made an appointment to play mahjong after work.”

The implication was that this sentiment of supporting and caring was at least present.

Li Xiaoheng touched on the matter and left it at that without going too far. He smiled reservedly, and then led Tao Mu away.

Tao Mu, who never said a word from beginning to end, until after getting into the car, looked at Li Xiaoheng with a strange expression.

He had lived two lifetimes, and he was used to taking care of things by himself. Even if someone was willing to help him, most of the time they couldn’t really hit the nail on the head and instead only made the situation more messy. It was the first time he could feel the protection that Li Xiaoheng provided when he completely pushed Shen Yu’s pot back to him with just a few words, and even knocked the bottom of the pot off.

It felt…..a little weird.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing Tao Mu’s gaze, Li Xiaoheng smiled warmly: “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, I just felt like your thinking is very clear.” Tao Mu thought about it and added, “I didn’t expect you to explain so much.”

In Tao Mu’s opinion, Li Xiaoheng should be the kind of person who didn’t bother to explain anything.

Li Xiaoheng smiled when he heard the words: “No helping it. I had to at least make things clear. Can’t let them wrong my Mu Mu.”

When Li Xiaoheng said this, his face suddenly changed, and he asked with a displeased expression: “Do you have a nickname?”

“Huh?” Tao Mu didn’t expect Li Xiaoheng to veer off topic so suddenly, and almost didn’t react.

“A name that only family members can call you.” Li Xiaoheng patiently induced: “For example, my parents call me Xiaoheng, how about you?”

Before Tao Mu could speak, he saw Li Xiaoheng subtly take hold of his hand and continued: “Actually, if possible, I hope we can have a name that only we can call each other. For example…..”

Li Xiaoheng leaned into Tao Mu’s ear and whispered two words. Tao Mu only felt the warm breath spray on his earlobes, and half of his body went numb.

He scratched his ears and glanced at Li Xiaoheng in irritation: “I think it’s good to just call each other by name.”

“Okay.” Li Xiaoheng agreed very succinctly: “Dear, where do you want to go first? I heard that the temple with the most incense in Hong Kong is Wong Tai Sin Temple. Why don’t we go there first?”

Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng helplessly, and could only give in: “Then let’s go.”

It was indeed the most prosperous Daoist temple in Hong Kong. When Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng arrived at the place, there were already a lot of visitors there. Because it was Saturday, many people even came with the whole family. According to legend, the “Wong Tai Sin” enshrined in the temple was responsive and particularly effective. And it was the only Daoist temple in Hong Kong that could hold Daoist weddings.

“It grants every wish, and blesses all marriages as well. I think we’ve come to the right place.” Li Xiaoheng said with a smile, “What do you want? I want to ask for a marriage.”

Li Xiaoheng’s gaze was too hot, and Tao Mu couldn’t ignore it even with his eyes closed, so he could only say, “You can ask for what you want by sincerely offering incense, what are you always looking at me for?”

“Because I think instead of asking God it is better to ask you.” Li Xiaoheng smiled warmly, looked at Tao Mu with dazzling eyes, and said warmly: “My marriage is in your hands. If you are willing to bless me so that I will be able to stay and grow old together with my love. Then my religion is you.”

Tao Mu respectfully inserted the three sticks of incense, and bowed again, only then did he have the heart to speak to Li Xiaoheng: “Don’t fool around anymore, okay? I’m being serious.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“I’m not fooling around.” Li Xiaoheng stared at Tao Mu with extremely tender eyes: “I’m very sincere and pious. Don’t you have the confidence to bless me and the person I love to grow old together?”

Tao Mu’s expression paused slightly.

Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, “If you don’t have confidence in yourself, then believe in me.”

“I have.”

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues CH 018 Lei Jin’s Conclusion

Tonight, Lei Jin habitually went to the innermost room to sleep, but was stopped by Moya. Lei Jin looked at him with confusion. In this family, Moya was probably the only person who hardly ever talked to him. Every time he saw him, he was always very cold and even if he had to speak to him, he always used the most succinct way.

Lei Jin wondered if it was because he acted too lecherous when he saw him on the first day, and he was disgusted by it. But what was done was done, like spilled water, and he couldn’t take it back, so he could only take one step at a time. Now, he didn’t hope to hook up, he just hoped that he wouldn’t be hated by the other.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

So now being pulled aside by Moya, Lei Jin was both surprised and confused.

“Did you need something from me?” Lei Jin said this very fluently. He was sure that Moya could understand it, but Moya just glanced at him and didn’t say anything. He just took a bag from the windowsill and stuffed it into his arms.

Lei Jin was very curious about what Moya would give him. Just as he was about to open it, he heard Moya coldly say, “Go back to the room inside to sleep. I’m going to sleep now.”

Lei Jin cursed inwardly, you think I’m all that willing to come, weren’t you the one who brought me here, and now you are driving me away. Well, too bad, I won’t go, what kind of person do you take me for? Coming and going with just a call? This was practically bullying.

Lei Jin simply sat down on the edge of the bed. In fact, there was only a table left in the room besides this bed, without even a chair in sight. So it was not like he could sit on the table.

Lei Jin smirked and said, “Actually, there is no need for taboos between two men, I can sleep anywhere, so how about I sleep with you in this room tonight?”

Since you hate me, I’ll let you hate me to your heart’s content.

Lei Jin’s words was a mix of newly learned words with the Mandarin he was familiar with, but the most important words “sleep together”, Moya still understood. Moya also knew that this person and his Ah Ma come from the same place, and in that world, these females couldn’t have children, but let others have children for them. So this person’s previous behavior was not to tease him from a female’s point of view, so this ‘sleeping together’ he spoke of should also likely be meaningless.

Moya was annoyed sometimes, he wished to tell him everything and transform his body so that he could stay with them forever, but he was also worried about what happened with Ah Ma back then repeating itself with them. He feared that he would not be able to accept it, and insisted on going back to his original world.

Seeing him like this at this time, he suddenly had the intention of teasing, a rare smile appearing on the corners of his lips: “Okay, then shall we sleep here? Do you want me to help change your clothes?” As he spoke, his hands already reached towards Lei Jin’s chest.

Lei Jin immediately slapped his hands away quickly, stood up in one step, then felt like he was making too big of a deal, and explained sheepishly: “Forget it. I’d better go back to the room inside and sleep with the little guy. You are too hard and not as comfortable to hold as the little guy.”

He saw Moya’s unfriendly attitude and couldn’t help deliberately contradicting him just now. Lei Jin didn’t want to admit that after he saw Roger with An Sen and An Luo together that night it had left a psychological shadow on him. He wanted to gain a foothold in this world but didn’t want to use this kind of method to do so.

At first, he didn’t feel anything, just felt surprised that it was this kind of relationship. Later, Lei Jin thought about it, and it seemed that since he entered this village, he had never seen a woman once. Although he had never gone out since he arrived at this house, after walking such a long way into the village, and not even seeing a single woman, plus there was also no woman in this family. Additionally, he also hadn’t seen a woman visit this family in the past few days either. So there was only one possibility to explain all of this. The ratio of males to females here was very unbalanced. Women were likely a precious species that was protected and hidden at home. And since there were no women, men were used as women. Roger was like this.

If Roger knew what Lei Jin was thinking, he would probably want to pummel Lei Jin’s head.

Thinking of this possibility, Lei Jin was also very depressed. You must know that although he was bisexual, he still liked the soft body of a woman more than the rigid body of a man, and he liked children quite a bit as well. No one stipulated that a mob boss should be cold-blooded and ruthless, right? He liked children and originally, he thought that when he turned 30 years old, he would settle down and marry a wife and raise a few children, but now he came here inexplicably, not to mention that there was also a lack of women here. As he was now, powerless and penniless, coupled with this second-class crippled height of his, he could just imagine how difficult it would be to find a woman to be his wife.

But no matter how difficult it would be, he didn’t want to stay here and be used by others as a woman. Roger was a lesson to be learned. Not only was he pressed down by men, he was also pressed down simultaneously by two men. That was pitiful enough, and Lei Jin didn’t want to fall to that point one day. So Lei Jin felt that it was necessary to keep a distance from these men, lest his anal virginity be lost.

Although he didn’t mean to think bad things about people, Lei Jin was not related to this family. Just because he came from the same world as Roger, the family accepted him without any objection? This in itself was an open question.

After Lei Jin finished speaking, without waiting for Moya to speak, he waved his hand casually, and walked quickly back to the room inside.

Mingya rushed over, Lei Jin hugged it, and went to bed together.

It was only at this time that Lei Jin remembered that there was something from Moya in his arms.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The outside seemed to be covered with a layer of pliable bark, and when he peeled it open, it turned out to be some wild fruit inside. They looked to be already ripe, with plump and bright purple skin, and each was the size of a plum. Lei Jin took one and tried a bite. The skin was thin and the inside was red and juicy. It was very sweet and a little sour, but in short, it peaked one’s appetite, and Lei Jin ate five to six in a row before stopping.

In fact, Lei Jin’s presumptuous conclusion was overturned the next day. Not only was it overturned, but it was overturned a direct 180. The truth of the matter was 10,000 times more tragic than he could have ever thought.

Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 049 Spirit Demons And Humans, Kun-Lai’s Two Lineages

Feng Qingxiu had a dream. In his dream, his cultivation level soared straight up in a clear sky, sweeping away ghosts, demons and gods alike, without failing the might and prestige of Kun-Lai at all. Even more, he managed to gain a lot of territory and achieved great merit, including a beautiful place with verdant hills and limpid water. He then took out his savings over many years, built a huge palace, and invited his master to stay.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

His master praised him and settled with happiness, saying: Xiao Qing is indeed my good apprentice.

And he replied that this was what this apprentice should do.

In this way, he climbed up the highest summit of life and married Mr. Perfect. (TN: slang for fair-skinned, rich and beautiful)

Everyone in the world came to bring congratulations.

And then it was the wedding, entering the bridal chamber full of candles, and feeling like a winner in life.

Then he woke up the next day and found that it was his master who shared the bed with him?

Then Feng Qingxiu was woken up instantly.

What a scary dream!

Even if he slept with the paper man for more than a month before, he shouldn’t be having such a dream!

He woke up but still felt terrified.

He looked up and saw the result of his painstaking efforts over several months, the pavilions and other structures remained the same, and the jade man stared at him with a smile.

Wait! I didn’t seem to have painted the eyes on the jade figurine yesterday.

What was this situation?

Feng Qingxiu’s fingertips were instantly wrapped in formless sword energy.

There was a trace of killing intent in his cold eyes.

“Ai, I haven’t seen you for a few months, doesn’t the apprentice even know his master anymore?” The jade man asked with a smile.

Feng Qingxiu sneered: “You dare to pretend to be my master?” He had long heard that jade had spiritual awareness, but no matter what, pretending to be his master must not be tolerated!

The jade man showed an expression of interest: “So what if I pretended to be, are you still willing to attack me?”

“Shameless!” Feng Qingxiu was furious, the sword energy burst out, and pierced in the jade man’s direction.

“You can’t hit me like this~” The jade man flashed away, and the sword energy landed on the model celestial dwelling!

Shattering it to pieces.

***

After some tossing about, Feng Qingxiu sat aggrievedly by the window and ignored him, and it was useless no matter how long his master comforted him.

“Okay, I apologize, it’s my fault, I just didn’t want to wake Xiao Qing last night, Xiao Qing, I was also so sad when you drew your sword at me~”

The jade man jumped to the window in front of him, “Don’t be angry, Xiao Qing. I promise to tell you in advance next time.”

The appearance of the jade man’s small body making promises was too cute, and Feng Qingxiu felt an arrow lodging in his chest and armor falling apart. He simply couldn’t be angry any longer.

Feng Qingxiu, who got his master’s promise, reluctantly accepted his master’s explanation and began to tell him about what he had seen and heard recently.

Now Ji Yunlai felt that this was his cute apprentice!

It was indeed a right choice to come all the way here over thousands of miles.

Although he gave his apprentice means to self-defend, he felt uneasy whenever he thought of his apprentice’s physique, which was basically equal to a spiritual artifact and treasure, so it was more reassuring to watch over him personally.

“By the way master, you hid in my pocket last time and came here quietly. So how did you come this time?”

Feng Qingxiu asked with concern. One must know that divine consciousness would disappear without an object to rely on, and there must be something for it to attach to before it could continue to exist outside the true body, otherwise it would naturally dissipate. Previously, his master had to protect the safety of the Great Xiao State, and exhausted the power in the trace of divine consciousness, so it should have dissipated.

And this place was too far away from Kun-Lai, his master’s divine consciousness could not stretch this far, and would have to separate out another trace of divine consciousness and re-attach to another thing to come over.

“It’s simple. In autumn, wild geese will fly south, so I just stuck myself among the feathers of a wild goose, and flew here.” Ji Yunlai said indifferently, in fact, he could just directly have a firebird send him over by express, but he was the Sect Leader. That would scare them, so it was better to find ordinary birds and enjoy the scenery along the way.

In fact, it turned out that all the way to the Southern Sea was the migration path of geese in winter. Six hundred years ago, they all used to bypass the Kun-Lai Mountains of the Western Continent and flew from the Southern Continent to the Central Continent. But when the Western Continent was injected with vitality, they began to fly through the Western Continent. The adaptability of these lifeforms was comparable to that of human beings.

Ji Yunlai calculated the time and met up with his apprentice here.

“I have troubled Master.” Feng Qingxiu thought about it and felt that the paper man had suffered coming all this way, and it was too wrong of him to be so fierce, so he sincerely said, “Master has been in Seclusion for many years, and Yan City has undergone countless changes. Let this apprentice bring you around to have a look.”

He knew that his master was very interested in these things, but didn’t like to go shopping alone, and preferred it when someone accompanied him.

The jade man was full of happiness, his apprentice was being so considerate, of course he would want to go!

***

Great Yan State was the southernmost country in the Western Continent, and the word Yan itself also meant walking in water, and referred to this as a country on water.

The Kun-Lai Mountains were extremely high, blocking the southwest monsoon. The south of the mountain was close to the sea, and the clouds gathered thickly there. It rained almost every day, and precious water vapor would flow into the sea.

Hundreds of years ago, the Great Xiao State was in civil strife, embroiling the borders into unrest as well. A rebel army fled all the way south by boat, and finally settled and multiplied in the southern part of the Western Continent, becoming a state.

Because the south was humid, the houses in Great Yan were all built with wood, the buildings built on top of wooden pillars that supported the base of the house. And practically every household owned small boats.

Feng Qingxiu had been here only once, but he had a very good memory. He spoke knowledgeably well about the customs and people, which made his master very happy.

However, after walking around for a moment, he saw his Net Charm flickering, which was a signal to ask him to go back immediately as something happened—the Net Charm could only have this function when it couldn’t connect to the Kun-Lai main network.

So Feng Qingxiu immediately returned to the flying peak.

Seeing the jade man on his shoulder, Ji Mingyu’s eyes flashed brightly, and even forgot about serious business. She reached out to touch it: “Senior Brother Feng, you are amazing, could you give me this carving, please!”

But her hands were slapped away mercilessly, and Feng Qingxiu put the jade man on his shoulder into the pouch hanging around his neck with a cold face—yes, the very same pouch that he used to hold the ashes of the paper man before.

“Let’s get down to business, Senior Sister Tu!” Feng Qingxiu rejected Ji Mingyu and reminded the person next to her.

“Okay.” Senior Sister Tu also reluctantly retracted her gaze, and then she said solemnly: “Someone has seriously injured two Junior Brothers of the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Feng Qingxiu’s expression turned cold: “How’s the injury? Who did it?”

“The injuries are not light. The attacker was extremely vicious. If it wasn’t for the Detoxification Pill, they would have already become mentally retarded. Even if the poison has subsided, they would still have to remain paralyzed for half a year to recover.” Senior Sister Tu smiled wryly, “As for the attacker, I really don’t know how to tell you.”

“I did it,” said a clear voice next to him.

It was a little girl in a blue gauze dress, her eyes were clear and beautiful, and when she stood still, she looked as lovely as peach blossoms.

“My name is Shui Lanlan, I belong to the local blue sunflower jellyfish spirit demon clan, which is the most poisonous sea monster in the local Wanli Sea.” The little girl’s expression was calm, “The two of them repeatedly questioned my qualifications for attending the Dragon-Phoenix Selection, and even humiliated my family. I rebutted them into speechlessness, so they insisted on driving me away. They couldn’t beat me, so they used underhanded means and asked for death in every possible way. Only then did I release the tentacles. Afterwards, I gave the antidote immediately. Everything is recorded by the Shadow Beads.”

Feng Qingxiu didn’t know what to say for a while.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“She is You Jia’s step-cousin, her uncle is Wenjian Peak’s Deputy Peak Master You Bazhua, her aunt is Jiedu Peak’s Peak Master Shui Wugou, her mother is the West Sea Spirit Demon King Shui Wusi, and her father is the Emperor of Great Yan here.” Senior Sister Tu whispered in his ear, “Princess Shui Tianyue of the West Sea, nicknamed Lanlan, most people dare not stop her from entering Kun-Lai. Those two people who stopped her were two new disciples from Qingdi Peak.”

“You mean?” Feng Qingxiu basically understood.
