Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 158 Amazing, My Little Fox

With Shen Haisheng's promotion, news of his great victory over two Grandmasters began to circulate in Muhua City.

Subsequently, Xu Tianyi and others began to gradually expand their propaganda efforts in the eleven counties of Northwest China.

After all, they do have their own publicity department.

. . .

From the end of the midday banquet, Hu Wei caused trouble, until Xue Mantian and Hu Wei were defeated and left the scene.

The whole process seemed to take a long time, but it actually only lasted for one hour.

The sky wasn't completely dark yet.

The Shen family began to gradually repair the site damaged in the battle.

The scenes were so shocking; every strike of the sword qi that filled the sky was incredibly fierce, and any cultivator below the Grandmaster level would surely die if hit head-on.

This shows just how terrifying a Grandmaster's boundless true energy is.

Moreover, when he gets close to a Grandmaster, his spellcasting will draw on the surrounding spiritual energy, making it difficult for other Grandmasters to compete with him for spellcasting; they can only rely on their own true energy.

This is also what makes a Grandmaster so formidable. If he also possesses a domain, he can not only plunder the spiritual energy within it, but also use it to impact and control the mind of his enemies, making him incredibly terrifying.

It can be said that a Grandmaster could easily destroy a city by unleashing his full power to slaughter its inhabitants.

. . .

After returning to the East Courtyard of the Shen Family, Xu Tianyi, Shen Miao, and the others stayed there.

The East Courtyard generally belongs to the eldest son of the family and is considered the Eastern Palace.

Shen Miao was exceptionally pampered at home; even though she was only the legitimate daughter, she was allowed to live in the East Courtyard Villa District.

Her yard is also about 500 square meters, which is quite large.

The first floor of the Shen family's courtyard was not used for living; it served as the living room, dining room, and residence for the maids.

People only live on the second floor.

There is only one room on the second floor, two rooms on the third floor, one room on the fourth floor, and the fifth floor is considered an insulation layer.

The structure is brick and wood, and the building is mainly blue. It still has the design of eaves and pavilions, but the rooms are all quite large.

This design has a very modern feel.

Everyone was gathered on the second floor at this moment.

Xu Tianyi looked at Ning Hongye with some concern; she had fainted again.

He cannot leave the Shen family now, so he can only ask Gu Qinghan to find Yin Ziping and even ask Ji Canghai to accompany and protect her.

He was really having a headache in this situation.

Perhaps he had been living too peacefully before, and had not encountered any battles for such a long time, so Xu Tianyi felt that everything was going according to his plan.

In reality, if you encounter a clever opponent, it will be difficult to hold onto your territory.

Just like now, there is only Yue Pingzhi in his own military camp.

The eleven counties in the northwest are also internally hollow.

If the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were to send a large number of Grandmasters to launch a surprise attack, then their own officials and their own army would find it difficult to resist.

Ultimately, I still didn't have enough time.

The military is undertrained and has too little time to develop.

The good news is that Xue Mantian is an idiot; he never expected to mobilize all his forces, using the experts from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion in conjunction with intelligence from the Imperial Guards, to come and kill him.

At the same time, it did not commit any despicable acts such as infiltration or plunder.

Now that Xue Mantian and Hu Wei are seriously injured, I must seize this opportunity to gather a large number of elite martial artists and fight a war in the martial arts world against them!

Only by taking the initiative and harassing and suppressing the enemy can we buy time.

No wonder these armies are so greedy and brutal, enjoying the spoils of war wherever they go. It turns out they never really intended to occupy territory and become kings, because even if they did, they couldn't hold onto it unless they stayed.

The moment you leave, a master will come and ambush your rear, and all your efforts to quell the unrest will be in vain.

Faced with this style of play, Xu Tianyi doesn't have any particularly good solutions for the time being.

After spending an hour with Ning Hongye, he also briefly regulated the chaotic internal energy within her body.

She fell into a peaceful sleep.

The group left the hall to avoid disturbing her.

Yue Shan had already fled by now, rushing back to Zhongzhou to see his father, lest he be executed along with his entire family by the King of Qi.

His father, Yue Jingzhi, was a master in the middle to late stages of the Grandmaster realm, and his mother, Zhou, was a Grandmaster at the peak. But the others were just average.

Theoretically speaking, it is possible to leave if one wants to, unless King Qi mobilizes the royal family's martial saint.

Ji Canghai and Gu Qinghan went to pick up Yin Ziping.

There were actually only Ji Yingying and Shen Miao in the hall.

"Brother Xu..."

Shen Miao's tone was still somewhat downcast. After what happened today, her mentality seemed a bit unstable.

Xu Tianyi smiled slightly: "Miaomiao, it's alright. Are you still thinking about Hu Wei?"

Shen Miao shook her head: "I never thought he was this kind of person. I just see him for who he really is now. But... he was my first love..."

Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Who hasn't had a first love? Who hasn't had a white moonlight? Yingying even has Mo..."

Ji Yingying was stunned for a moment, then said speechlessly, "If Brother Mo were here, I wouldn't care about you..."

Xu Tianyi clapped his hands: "I love how loyal and righteous you are... No way, I've made up my mind, you'll serve me tonight!"

Ji Yingying's face twitched: "Get out! Sister Qinghan will be back in less than half an hour!"

Xu Tianyi looked somewhat regretful and turned to Shen Miao: "Miao Miao, how about..."

Shen Miao blushed: "I don't want to!"

She was completely lost right now and hadn't thought about it at all; after all, it was just an engagement.

Ji Yingying is the same. There's no engagement, so how could she possibly serve me in bed? Do you really think I'm your maid?

Xu Tianyi didn't care anymore.

He simply said, "Okay, I was just kidding."

"Okay, Yingying, you won't be my secretary starting tomorrow..."

Ji Yingying's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She glanced at Shen Miao, and a feeling of grievance welled up inside her.

"You...you want me to sleep with you, at least give me a marriage contract..."

Xu Tianyi was stunned: "Huh?"

"Just because I don't agree, you're going to make me leave? Are you in such a hurry?"

Ji Yingying felt even more aggrieved. "So, they're going to fire me just because there's a new person?"

She used to say she liked the feeling of not being able to catch him and being rejected, but now that she's rejected him, he's unhappy.

Xu Tianyi quickly grabbed her hand: "What are you saying... I have another task for you..."

Ji Yingying chuckled: "What mission? It's just to get me out of here..."

"You've misunderstood. I'm not angry with you, nor do I dislike you."

However, since Xue Mantian and his group acted recklessly, I hope to have an intelligence organization, or even an assassin organization, to put pressure on the other side.

Otherwise, the enemy could recklessly invade our rear, and our city would become useless.

Ji Yingying frowned: "You want me to establish the Bureau of Impermanence for you?"

Xu Tianyi nodded silently: "Yes, but not entirely. You and Hongye can do it together. Just recruit suitable people, and I'll give them a special mark later."

Ji Yingying shook her head: "I won't hire anyone, and I don't want to use the methods of Wuchang Village."

"Then I'll arrange the manpower for you. You just teach them how to do it..."

Ji Yingying nodded silently: "Then I'll ask Black Impermanence to come and help..."

Xu Tianyi was stunned: "Isn't she working for the King of Chu?"

Ji Yingying chuckled: "She's just bored... I'll go and talk to her, she'll come over..."

Xu Tianyi was overjoyed: "Then you will serve me tonight!"

"roll!"

.....

I've been working hard for a long time, but things aren't completely over yet.

After arranging for Ji Yingying to take care of Ning Hongye temporarily, Xu Tianyi took Shen Miao upstairs.

The two went up to the fourth floor.

According to the marriage agreement, he was to drink a cup of nuptial wine in her bedroom and then help her remove her headdress before the ceremony would be over.

They gently pushed open the door and sat down at the table, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Miaomiao is still very beautiful today. Aren't you really considering serving me in bed...?"

Shen Miao forced a smile: "Alright, Brother Xu, you really know how to joke. This old lady has been tortured all day. I'm going to find your Qinghan..."

Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Alright, then you get some rest, I won't disturb you anymore..."

He was indeed joking; Hongye was still sick and had no time for nonsense.

He reached out and gently removed the silver hair ornament she was wearing.

"Hmm... your dark circles are pretty bad..."

"If you say that again, Grandma will get angry!"

Shen Miao gave him a push, then picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's done, goodbye!"

Xu Tianyi shook his head, slowly walked out the door, and closed it for her.

Hearing Xu Tianyi come downstairs, Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

I went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and started taking a shower.

(The Shen family's design is very advanced; the Moon Wheel also has a similar faucet design.)

The events involving Hu Wei today kept replaying in my mind.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

. . .

Xu Tianyi went downstairs and arrived at his room on the third floor.

After gently closing the door, lift the bedroom curtain.

What catches the eye is that deep blue skirt.

"You've finally decided to come?"

Xu Tianyi gave a wry smile: "Thank you very much for today..."

Yu Linglong gently extended her finger and beckoned: "Aren't you coming over?"

Seeing her again, I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my heart.

The little fox is really alluring.

After thinking about it, Xu Tianyi also became interested and sat down next to her.

She was lying on her side on the bed with her legs crossed.

A touch of subtle black lace against the deep blue skirt is captivating.

Xu Tianyi turned his head and glanced at her. Those legs, which weren't particularly long, but were rounded, delicate, white, and smooth, were right behind him, seemingly enticing him to go forward and touch them.

What about trust between people?

Yu Linglong frowned; she didn't understand what he meant.

What trust?

Xu Tianyi chuckled: "You're actually wearing safety shorts? You don't trust me..."

The two had been apart for a month or two. Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong immediately felt a sense of familiarity and quickly covered her mouth to laugh.

"You're being cheeky again... If you want to see it, do it yourself..."

After saying that, she even raised an eyebrow towards the hem of her skirt.

Xu Tianyi rolled his eyes at her: "How could that be? I, Xu, am a gentleman, how could I do such a thing!"

He'd been fooled before; she'd drugged him, putting him in a dreamlike state...

When she woke up, she found herself naked in her room, battling with the air.

"Alright, alright, you're incredibly audacious. It's only been a few days, and you've gained a few more. Looks like you're not exactly honest either..."

Xu Tianyi scratched his head: "No, no, Linglong, thank you anyway..."

With a turn of her head, Yu Linglong transformed into a little fox, and Xu Tianyi gently picked her up and laid her on the bed.

"After today, we might become enemies. Are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi was stunned.

"Did Wuchen lie to you about something again?"

Yu Linglong shook her head: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you..."

Xu Tianyi chuckled: "What don't I understand? Did Wuchen say he would destroy my family and force me to go to Jukuzhou to compete for the Immortal Mask and control the time of Zhulong's resurrection?"

Yu Linglong was stunned.

In an instant, she changed back.

A pure and innocent face came into Xu Tianyi's view, and a warm, delicate, and soft body.

"Where did you know that?"

Xu Tianyi knew it was time to tell her everything.

"You need to complete the Tongjiao Plan, control the resurrection time of the Golden Crow and the Candle Dragon, and then wait for the Fusang Tree to revive. Then you want them to perish together, right?"

Yu Linglong blinked in disbelief: "How...how did you know about Tongjiao's plan?"

Xu Tianyi smirked: "The guardian jade within my body told me..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong trembled and immediately channeled her inner energy into his body.

Soon, she also saw the Guardian Jade, but she didn't know what its effects were.

After thinking for a moment, she regained her composure and said, "Perhaps you also have the inheritance of some powerful hidden clan, but now, I'll just say it directly."

Wuchen wants you to achieve great success and then clash with the Crown Prince. I will then kill the Crown Prince and pretend it was you who did it.

Then I'll gradually turn you against all your friends, including me!

"Of course, he promised me he would spare your life. So, after you've lost everyone, I'll send you away and lock you up until things have settled down, then I'll release you."

Xu Tianyi was shocked and immediately became furious.

"That damn dog Wuchen, he's not even human!"

Yu Linglong was amused by his sudden outburst.

"Oh my, you can lose your composure like that too? That's quite amusing..."

Where is Wuchenren?

Yu Linglong chuckled, "I knocked him unconscious. To get revenge for you, I buried him in the cesspool. How about that, happy now..."

Xu Tianyi's angry face immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Hahaha... It has to be you! I love this kind of fun..."

Yu Linglong chuckled: "Who told him to be so mean to me? All he talks about is the Tongjiao Plan, forcing me to do things that aren't fun. How can I not punish him?"

Xu Tianyi watched the charming little fox in front of him constantly making sarcastic remarks, and couldn't help but kiss it.

"My little fox is amazing..."

Yu Linglong was stunned for a second, then angrily said, "You actually ambushed me! If you can't make me happy today, you know the consequences!"

Xu Tianyi looked at her with affection: "What's the rush? It's just a plan to spread the faith, I'll help you with that..."

Yu Linglong gently pushed him away from her embrace, propping herself up on the headboard with one hand as she looked at him: "You? Are you sure you can handle it? Do you know what would happen if the Golden Crow and the Candle Dragon were to perish together?"

She was very curious about how many secrets Xu Tianyi's legacy had revealed to him.

"If the Golden Crow and the Candle Dragon fight desperately, they will naturally perish together and destroy the world."

"No rush. We can plant the Fusang tree in the Wuji Empire later, and bring your mother and the others out while we're at it."

Yu Linglong shook her head: "Then how do you control the resurrection time of the Golden Crow Candle Dragon? How do you open the Dragon Hidden Cave to find the Fusang Tree seed, and how do you determine the range of the Fusang Tree's protection?"

Only Wuchen can do these things. Even if you knew them, what could you possibly do?
