I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 177: Sects gather, tens of thousands of people rush to Xianguling Lake! (Please subscribe, please vote)
Shanghe City, the public security has been particularly good since Lin Yue'e took office.

It's like leaving doors unlocked at night and not picking up lost items on the road.

The patrolling officers and soldiers stood tall and straight with firm steps, making the residents here feel unprecedented security.

In particular, officials of all ranks in Shanghe City worked hard to solve various problems for the residents.

It seemed that all this was the work of Lin Yue'e, but in fact, Li Chen's incognito tour scared the local officials.

He went out incognito without any disguise, and now there is no official who does not know that Li Chen is in Shanghe City.

I’m afraid that when Li Chen is walking around the streets, he might see something and encounter residents complaining to him.

If Li Chen catches this, he will basically be convicted directly with no room for negotiation.

Ding Tianming, the Lord of Shanghe City, is the best example. How could the officials of Shanghe City not be afraid? They work very hard to do their jobs well.

In fact, they were all overthinking it. Li Chen usually didn't come out and stayed in the Jiang family mansion. How could he catch them?

In fact, the weather is good today, and Li Chen really plans to go out for a stroll and take a look at the preparations made by the prefect Zhang Zhishan.

As a result, someone came to him for a drink early in the morning.

Seeing Zhu Zhuying and Ning Xiaoxiao coming back, Li Chen asked, "How was the investigation going?"

Even though Zhu Zhuying was a little angry, she restrained her temper when she saw Li Chen. She acted very sensible and said respectfully, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I have already investigated it. I received a lot of rewards from Your Majesty yesterday. I don't know how to thank Your Majesty."

Zhu Zhuying didn't want to talk about her fiancé, so she started chatting with Li Chen by talking about yesterday's exploration of the ancient supreme cemetery. This was her active expression of affection.

Next, Zhu Zhuying wanted to invite Li Chen out for a drink, expressed her gratitude again, and said that she could drink a lot.

Since they wanted to drink, Li Chen felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble. The Jiang Mansion had already prepared a lot of fine wines, so he asked the maid to serve the good wine.

When Zhu Zhuying saw the wine being served, she toasted Li Chen for various reasons.

Seeing this, Ning Xiaoxiao felt a headache. It seemed that this good sister could not be persuaded anymore.

Li Chen is at the saint level, so he can't get drunk as long as he doesn't want to.

However, the plump and graceful beauty next to him looked very charming as she was already drunk after drinking for a while.

Zhu Zhuying didn't know whether she did it intentionally or subconsciously, but she said that she didn't sleep last night and wanted to have a good rest.

Li Chen has been conducting in-depth research on solving the problem of sleep quality for beautiful women.

If it were other men, in order to maintain their demeanor, they would most likely let the beautiful woman have a good rest, cover her with a blanket and then leave quietly.

But Li Chen didn't like wasting, so he had to accept it with a smile.

Ning Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to her, just watched her good sister being taken away.

They grew up together, so Ning Xiaoxiao naturally knew that Zhu Zhuying had drunk too much, but was not drunk yet, so she must have done it on purpose.

Maybe I just want to indulge myself for a day.

There were no familiar faces here, so Ning Xiaoxiao prepared to leave first.

But as soon as I went out, I saw Xiaorou and her mother eating in the yard. It seemed that they were eating the magical herb called Meilingrong.

The mother and daughter seemed to be talking and laughing.

A Mei was particularly happy today. She saw that her daughter finally signed a contract with Li Chen. Now she could often accompany the driver and would slowly forget about the boy named Tang.

This is really a double blessing.

Since following Li Chen, A Mei's complexion has improved, all her troubles have been solved, and everything has become so smooth.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she should be loyal to Li Chen and try her best to meet all of Li Chen's requirements. This is what a pet should do.

Xiaorou just started watching her mother working hard to get a chance for herself yesterday, and she realized her mother's good intentions.

In addition, the exaggerated scene made her blush and dizzy, and she joined in unconsciously.

Later, when she called Li Chen "Master", she was only willing to do so.

Now Xiaorou always feels that her mother is so good to her and she will think of her whenever something good happens.

The mother and daughter were discussing the next issue of cultivation here. After all, since they had Li Chen's support, they could eat the rare cultivation material like the Meiling Mushroom as a snack.

Just at this moment, Xiaorou heard footsteps beside her. She looked sideways and saw a familiar face walking towards her.

For a moment, his expression became evasive, like a child who was caught eating candy by other children.

"Xiao Rou, Aunt Mei, why are you here?" Ning Xiaoxiao was still a cheerful type and took the initiative to come forward and say hello.

Xiaorou glanced at her mother, not knowing how to answer.

In order to make her daughter break off the relationship with Tang Shan, Ah Mei said directly: "It's Xiaoxiao, come and sit down, it's a long story, I'll ask the maid to bring you something to eat."

Ning Xiaoxiao had nothing to do and was curious about the identities of the mother and daughter, so she just sat here and listened for a while.

After the maid brought some cakes, A Mei told Xiao Rou that she and she were from the demon clan and had joined Li Chen.

Ning Xiaoxiao just stood there in amazement, biting a piece of pastry with her cherry-like mouth but not taking a bite.

Having lived for so many years, she has experienced many ups and downs.

But the shock this time brought to her was simply unimaginable.

She was just accompanying her good sister Zhu Zhuying to catch an adulterer, but Zhu Zhuying ended up getting so angry that she gave up. This shocked her greatly.

Now my scalp is numbing from the shock.

What? Xiaorou and her mother are actually demons?
And he had already become Li Chen’s pet yesterday?

Combined with Xiaorou's expression, Ning Xiaoxiao could probably understand what the relationship between pets was.

Because a strong man of His Majesty Li Chen's level has no shortage of helpers and summoned beasts.

Ning Xiaoxiao saw it with her own eyes that the demon corpse of the ancient supreme being was so frightened that it shrank back into the coffin.

Xiaorou and her daughter have nothing else that Li Chen needs except their beauty, so the result is obvious.

Ning Xiaoxiao felt that this world was too crazy. All the good friends she had known for so many years were sticking to Li Chen one by one.

Ning Xiaoxiao could understand Zhu Zhuying, but wasn't Xiaorou the one who liked Tang Shan the most? Why did she change so suddenly?

If Xiaorou knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say: At first I just wanted to sign a contract, but in the end I couldn’t go back, and I always wanted to sign a contract.

His Majesty also said that the contract tonight might be complicated.

In the past, Ning Xiaoxiao always regarded Xiaorou as her rival, but now that she suddenly has no rival, she has an inexplicable sense of loss.

Anyway, things have been made clear. A Mei will never let her daughter go back. The sect is such a dangerous place.

Just sign a few more contracts and your daughter will be able to follow Your Majesty wholeheartedly.

If it really doesn't work, then do it a few hundred times and let my daughter have something to rely on.

However, in order to thank Ning Xiaoxiao for taking care of her daughter for so many years, A Mei invited Ning Xiaoxiao to have lunch together and asked her to treat her well.

Ning Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. She had been the only one getting by for so many years. She should be thanking Xiaorou for her help.

Now that she really had nothing to do, she agreed.

I thought to myself that Zhu Zhuying might be back by lunch time.

Then the two of them will go back together to avoid being questioned by Tang Shan and the others.

As a result, let alone lunch, Ning Xiaoxiao waited until the afternoon, but Zhu Zhuying still hadn't come back.
Ning Xiaoxiao had no choice but to return to Chensha Taoist Sect alone.

The Chensha Taoist Sect is very large. It has outer disciples who do miscellaneous tasks, ordinary inner disciples, and then the core disciples.

Core disciples have a certain status in the sect and also have separate residences.

Ning Xiaoxiao and others all worked their way up from ordinary inner disciples to core disciples.

When I arrived at the residence, I saw Tang Shan practicing here. Dai Xiaoyao seemed to have just woken up and was yawning.

Ning Xiaoxiao has always liked Tang Shan. Now, taking advantage of Xiaorou's opportunity to defect to the emperor, she should tell Tang Shan the news. After Tang Shan becomes disheartened, he will definitely fall in love with her.

Then she could get what she wanted and live happily ever after with Tang Shan.

But the problem is that Ning Xiaoxiao didn't have such an idea at all.

In her way of thinking, Xiaorou has now found a better man, and Tang Shan has been abandoned by Xiaorou. What's the point for her to pick him up?
Tang Shan is very outstanding, Ning Xiaoxiao admits that, but that is only compared with the people here. He cannot be compared with people of Li Chen's level.

It can be said that Li Chen's strength is dozens of times stronger than his peers in all aspects.

Ning Xiaoxiao felt that she used to like Tang Shan, perhaps because he was outstanding, but now she didn't seem to like him that much.

She is now slowly beginning to understand why Xiaorou changed her heart.

There is no harm without comparison.

At this moment, Tang Shan also found that Ning Xiaoxiao was staring at her.

According to Tang Shan's idea, Xiao Rou is not around now. If Ning Xiaoxiao takes the initiative to please him, he can indeed be ambiguous with her reluctantly, say a few nice words, and keep her hanging.

When Xiaorou comes back, we can draw a clear line immediately.

Come on, come and please me.

Tang Shan didn't take the initiative, just waiting for Ning Xiaoxiao, the little fangirl, to please him. But he didn't know that Ning Xiaoxiao already felt that he was abandoned.

At this time, Dai Xiaoyao came over, stretched his waist, took a quick glance, and didn't see Zhu Zhuying, so he said to Ning Xiaoxiao: "Where is Zhu Ying? Aren't you with her?"

Ning Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "She is fooling around with another man now."

Dai Xiaoyao laughed and said, "You're doing this again. Let her have fun and come back to me when she's done."

Dai Xiaoyao didn't care at all. His fiancée was like this every time she lost her temper.

He felt that Zhu Zhuying deliberately did not come back and asked Ning Xiaoxiao to come back and say this just to find a reason to piss him off.

Dai Xiaoyao knew better than anyone that his fiancée was a woman of extreme chastity.

Before we got married, I didn't even let him touch my hand, so what outrageous thing could he do?

If he were to go down and look for it now, he would definitely have to lower his posture, and he wasn't in the mood for that.

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Dai Xiaoyao with some surprise, and that expression seemed to say: Do you really think I'm joking?
When I say fooling around, it's just a polite way of saying it. Do you want me to tell you exactly what your fiancée is doing?

Ning Xiaoxiao didn't even have the mood to say hello to Tang Shan, so she went back to rest.

The next day, Zhu Zhuying still didn't come back.

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Dai Xiaoyao who was practicing and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go down the mountain with me?"

In her opinion, if Dai Xiaoyao went now, it might still be in time to persuade Zhu Zhuying to turn back.

Of course, it could just be maybe.

But Dai Xiaoyao didn't even open his eyes, and said casually: "Tell her that the opportunity of Xianguling Lake will come soon. Now is not the time to be angry. Tell her to come back quickly to avoid being punished by the elders."

Ning Xiaoxiao sighed and didn't say anything else.

When she was going down the mountain, Tang Shan deliberately coughed on the road she had to pass.

What it means is: Come and please me, there is no woman around me.

But Ning Xiaoxiao ignored him and left.

This made Tang Shan confused. Could it be that Ning Xiaoxiao was not feeling well recently?

Ning Xiaoxiao's unexpected behavior prevented Tang Shan from feeling superior.

But it’s not a big problem, just wait for Xiaorou to come back.

No matter what I do, Xiaorou will praise me.

At the Jiang family mansion, the servant Lin Mo is still guarding the house on a daily basis.

Because Jiang Rong has been busy trying to please Li Chen recently and doesn't care much about business matters, Lin Mo has nothing to do.

Jiang Rong was originally very busy because she had to ask other merchant families for help, or count the bills and the like.

But it’s different now. No one knows who told others that she became the imperial concubine.

When people from the merchant families saw her go out, they all came over to please her, which made her so annoyed that she just stayed at home.

Even if she ignored it, the Jiang family's business was still growing rapidly.

All you have to do every day is ask the shop owners of all the major stores to send the bills to the Jiang Mansion.

Lin Mo was left idle in the Jiang family, working as a servant to guard the house.

Yesterday he followed two beauties to do some work. One of them was already drunk and gave herself to Li Chen for free.

When he saw Ning Xiaoxiao leaving Jiang Mansion, he bet that Ning Xiaoxiao would come back.

Sure enough, Ning Xiaoxiao came again today.

Lin Mo didn't show any surprise, he was used to it.

Ning Xiaoxiao entered the Jiang Mansion and found Zhu Zhuying.

She found that Zhu Zhuying had changed her clothes and her temperament was more attractive than before.

While the others were away, Ning Xiaoxiao came to Zhu Zhuying and said seriously, "Sister Zhuying, let's go back now that we've had enough fun."

In her opinion, Zhu Zhuying made the decision in a fit of anger.

Zhu Zhuying said lazily: "I'm not playing. Now I am also the imperial concubine of the Tiance Dynasty. And I'll tell you a little gossip. Xiaorou is also your majesty's woman!"

Zhu Zhuying felt that Ning Xiaoxiao would definitely be surprised when she told her the news.

But Ning Xiaoxiao had an expression of 'I knew it a long time ago', and not only Xiaorou, but also her mother had the same expression.

The two chatted for a while, all about Li Chen.

Ning Xiaoxiao seemed to want to confirm it, so she continued, "Sister Zhu Ying, are you really not going back?"

Zhu Zhuying nodded and replied, "Why should I go back and suffer the wrath? I still have to prepare to please His Majesty."

There is a lot of competition among the women in the Jiang Mansion, and they all try hard to please Li Chen.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuying glanced at her good friend Ning Xiaoxiao.

Because she is at a disadvantage, being here alone.

The other women are either mother and daughter, or mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Zhu Zhuying was thinking, why not drag Ning Xiaoxiao into the water, so that she and Ning Xiaoxiao could form a team and get Li Chen's favor.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuying whispered in Ning Xiaoxiao's ear.

Ning Xiaoxiao's heart beat faster and her face turned red.

At first, Ning Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "How can this be possible!"

Under Zhu Zhuying's persuasion, she began to waver.

Because Zhu Zhuying was right, she had neither a boyfriend nor a fiancé, so why not choose a good man.

Finally, Zhu Zhuying began to add fuel to the fire and said, "Are you willing to be outdone by Xiaorou in this life?"

This hit Ning Xiaoxiao's pain point. If she went back and followed Tang Shan, she would live under Xiaorou's shadow for the rest of her life.

I don’t want anything that Xiaorou doesn’t want!

Zhu Zhuying didn't care whether she was ready or not, and even coaxed and tricked her into changing clothes.

In the backyard of Jiang Mansion, Li Chen had just come out from a pile of beauties, but found another one coming?
Looking at Ning Xiaoxiao, who was dressed very beautifully, and Zhu Zhuying, who kept blinking at him, Li Chen understood that his new concubine seemed to be assisting him.

Sometimes Li Chen began to doubt whether he had a physique like a succubus, because why these women couldn't walk when they saw him.

Weird! Weird!

Li Chen felt that Ning Xiaoxiao was acting rather timidly, as most young girls are.

Since Ning Xiaoxiao and Zhu Zhuying have teamed up for a duo, Li Chen wants to see how they play and cooperate.

In fact, the officials of Shanghe City should be most grateful to the women who have worked silently in the Jiang Mansion.

Emperor Li Chen had no time to find any evidence against them.

The only one who got caught in the crossfire was the former city lord Ding Tianming, who could only consider himself unlucky.

Who made him jump out and try to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the Jiang family? In the end, he was attacked by the emperor who was passing by.

The most incredible thing was Wu Nanzhi. She didn't expect that just because she casually said it, so many women would appear around Li Chen.

It seems like Wu Nanzhi is destined to be the gold medal support.

This is also the reason why Wu Nanzhi has always been favored by Li Chen.

The Jiang family mansion is now Li Chen’s palace. Perhaps after returning this time, Li Sining will not be able to continue complaining about Li Chen’s lack of motivation.

The emperor's happiness is so simple and unpretentious.

Li Chen has been in Shanghe City for some time. It’s not that he doesn’t want to do anything, but he just hasn’t waited for the opportunity.

As Shanghe City Governor Zhang Zhishan led his troops to ask for an audience with Li Chen, Li Chen changed his clothes and set out with the Shanghe City garrison army to Xianguling Lake.

At the same time, hundreds of surrounding sects also headed towards Xianguling Lake.

Especially the Chensha Taoist Sect and the Yuxu Immortal Palace, which had thousands of people.

There are only about ten other sects, and hundreds of better ones.

Any sect that can reach the level of a thousand people is first-rate in the world.

What’s more, these two large sects have teams of thousands of people.

In order to gain this opportunity, the two major sects also flexed their muscles.

The resonance of the meridian techniques of thousands of practitioners alone can make the earth tremble!

The two major sects came with such force that people nearby were a little scared.

Because they know that today there will be an even more powerful and mysterious person appearing!
