Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 72 I'm not feeling well today.

"whee."

The strange fragrance filled the air, and Zhuang Yuning immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"who!!!"

She looked up in surprise and immediately saw a pair of fair and smooth feet swinging back and forth playfully.

On the treetop above the stone statue sits a woman whose face is half-covered by a light veil of gold thread.

A gentle breeze rustled the bells at her waist, producing a series of captivating, clear sounds.

"Someone keeps chanting my name, disturbing my sleep. I can't sleep, so I had no choice but to come and take a look."

"Thank goodness you stepped in for me, little sister, and killed that annoying little girl. How can I ever thank you enough?"

She suddenly snapped her fingers, and flames shot up onto the mother and daughter who were lying on the ground.

"Now that they have joined my religion, how can we allow their corpses to be left exposed in the streets?"

Oh, I almost forgot, my sister is planning to use these two corpses for some kind of thing, isn't she?

Since you have joined my religion
Should we recite her name?

Even though it seems unbelievable, the woman's identity is obvious!

The Great Sage Celestial Master?!
Zhuang Yuning's back was soaked with cold sweat.

She never imagined that the sorcerer who spread rumors and stirred up chaos in the capital was actually a woman.

And she was such a young and beautiful woman.

Even though the person on the treetop remained all smiles, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, unable to move even a finger.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

here we go again.
The same thing happened last time in the alleyways of Xicheng.

Even though she is now the head of the Mingjing Division and will soon become His Majesty's first concubine, seemingly enjoying endless glory.

However, if faced with a life-or-death crisis, the other party can still kill them with just a flick of a finger.
Even the protective array of Kyoto wouldn't be triggered.

too weak!
Zhuang Yuning had never felt such an urgent desire for power as she did now.

The image of that man appeared before my eyes once again.

If only I could have his skills.
Have you not seen how dazzling it is that a fourth-rank cultivator could directly kill a peak sixth-rank cultivator?
Overnight, the name 'Xu Jinhuan' became a household name throughout the entire Qin Continent.
Power! Power!

It dawned on her.

What use is it to climb higher when you are in the precarious power center of the Great Yan Dynasty?
A person who allowed such evil spirits to wreak havoc in the capital
Can the Yan Emperor, who even needs assistance to get into bed, truly sit securely on the throne?
call out--

The woman landed suddenly, her smile playful.

Why isn't my sister saying anything?
Your heart is beating so fast.

"Can your older sister help you?"

The enchantress approached step by step.

She walked slowly on purpose, seemingly enjoying the pleasure of tormenting her prey.

Glancing at the two still-burnt remains, Zhuang Yuning suddenly shouted:
"A vixen has taken lives so lightly! Where is the Mirror of Justice?!"

The shouts echoed far and wide in the quiet night sky.

This place was only a wall away from the residence where the Mingjing Division was handling the case. If the men in black acted quickly enough, they might still have time.
The woman opposite suddenly stopped.

Her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in surprise.

A moment later, he burst out laughing.

"Hehehe, why did you stop shouting, little sister?"
"Scream until you're hoarse, and see if anyone comes to save you!"

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she spread her right palm into a claw, grabbing at the air!
Zhuang Yuning suddenly felt short of breath, her feet left the ground, and she was sucked in tightly!
As they drew closer, she could even see the eerie green light shimmering in the other person's eyes.

The next moment, a streak of sword energy descended from the sky!

The sword light tore through the dark clouds and landed squarely in the demoness's palm.

She gave a sharp cry and took two steps back.

Suddenly, puffs of black smoke rose from his palm.

"Cough cough. Ugh—"

Zhuang Yuning knelt on the ground, clutching her throat.

She was just one step away from dying, just like that mother and daughter from before! She raised her head, her eyes filled with hope.

A familiar figure, wielding a seven-foot-long, icy-blue sword, stood between him and the demoness.

It's him!

Mr. Xu

"I observed the stars last night and learned that a beautiful woman had invited me. I never expected that it would be the Celestial Master himself. I have long admired you."

"So it's Mr. Xu. Seeing is believing."

"What a handsome young man!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already become a blur and pounced on Xu Jinhuan!
He dared not delay and retreated gracefully.

A gentle force pushed Zhuang Yuning far away from behind, while simultaneously urging her in her mind:
"Xiaoqing, get to work!"

'锵——'

After a loud phoenix cry, the world in Xu Jinhuan's eyes was instantly transformed.

From Xiaoqing's perspective, the opponent's unpredictable movements were slowed down countless times, losing all their mystery.

He thrust the shattered jade in his hand diagonally upwards!
Sword and claw clashed, suddenly producing a metallic clang!

The powerful energy spread out like ripples, and the two separated as soon as they touched.

Where the two bodies had just clashed, spiderweb-like cracks were left on the ground.

A look of surprise and doubt flashed in Wu Yao's eyes. She snorted coldly and suddenly leaped into the air.

"As expected of Mr. Xu, I am not feeling well today, I will serve you another day~"

In the blink of an eye, the person had vanished.

Xu Jinhuan stood still and did not pursue. With a thought, the broken jade was once again returned to his sea of ​​consciousness.

He turned around. "Hey, are you alright?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Lord of the Mingjing Division opposite him had already rushed into his arms.

"Not again? Trying to take advantage of me, huh?"

The person in his arms ignored him, their shoulders trembling uncontrollably. "Sir... I'm so scared."

Almost simultaneously, a flurry of footsteps sounded from all directions.

"Master Zhuang!"

"Master Mirror, I'm late!!!"

Seven or eight men dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of them.

As the person at the front suddenly stopped, everyone froze on the spot, swallowing back the words they were about to say.

It felt like I was trapped in a maze, and I finally emerged from that seemingly endless alley, only to witness such a deadly scene.
"It seems that Manager Zhuang isn't here. Did we mishear?"

"It must be. It's all because of working on the case all night; have they started hallucinating?"

With someone taking the lead, the men in black panicked and ran away as fast as they could.

A moment later, the alley was completely silent, as if nothing had ever happened.

Xu Jinhuan was speechless for a moment. "Have you hugged enough?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yuning not only did not let go, but hugged him even tighter.

"Sir, are you injured?"
That vixen is so cunning; even the master couldn't subdue her.

'Good tea!'

Xu Jinhuan, he thinks you're a fool.

Xiaoqing was mentally ranting, while Xu Jinhuan rolled his eyes and said calmly:

"Under the surveillance of the Kyoto Grand Array, neither she nor I can use the power of the third rank at most."

The exchange just now was at most a test, and it was meaningless.

After saying that, he disregarded the other person's objections and forcefully pried open the arms that were wrapped around him.

"You weren't this vulnerable when you killed the girl just now."

"You deliberately let the Mingjing Division see what just happened, you surnamed Zhuang, do you want me dead?"
