I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

If Wen Xintong and Ye Qianxue's positions were switched, Ye Qianxue would definitely choose to do this.

"Of course, only I have a chance to lure Wen Xintong out. None of you have a chance."

Yan Ziming spoke with reason and evidence.

Hmph, if we're talking about methods, as the saying goes, lust is one of the driving forces of social progress, so I guess I still have to sacrifice my looks a bit.

In short, I'll first use my beauty to lure that guy out, then gradually lead him to a secluded place, and finally make him deceive me, so he'll pay the price of paying with his body!

To put it bluntly, it's about working to pay off debts.

She wanted to bring more people, but the reality didn't allow it. If too many ninth-tier supreme experts went, it would arouse Odyssey's vigilance, and her actions would be impossible to carry out.

"Even if we don't go, you're already eye-catching enough, you little vixen." Mu Mu said incisively as she looked at a news magazine.

"How dare you talk like that? You're making me sound like a vixen."

Yan Ziming was displeased. She said it didn't matter who she called a little vixen, because she didn't act like a seductive woman at home every day; she was talking about you, Mu Mu! A juicer whose brain tissue is 99% yellow! If you're not a little vixen, then who is?

Huh~

Mu Mu chuckled at this.

How many girls has this guy hooked up with so far? And he still says he's not a little devil!

"In short, I have already reported to the higher-ups, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will be on the list to go there."

Yan Ziming does not accept any rebuttal.

Moreover, after working so hard for so long, she wanted to take this opportunity to relax in a city with a different atmosphere from the rest of the world.

..........

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

A festive atmosphere pervades the City of the Crescent, with streets bathed in a vibrant blue light and the sky ablaze with colorful lights, depicting the glorious 50,000-year history of Odyssey. Each scene is breathtaking and unprecedented, as the city prepares for the long-awaited coronation ceremony that the residents of Odyssey will witness.

But if Yan Ziming were to speak, the atmosphere would still be too subdued.

It wasn't that the Odyssey royal family didn't invest enough in the ceremony, but rather that the Odyssey population was too small.

The occupancy rate of Crescent City is less than one-tenth, barely enough to fill half of the city center. Under such circumstances, even the grandest scene seems somewhat desolate.

The population problem in Odyssey is precisely because the various countries of humanity have temporarily relaxed their policies towards them.

However, since its return, Odyssey has vigorously promoted a forced birth policy to solve the problem of population shortage. In recent years, the population has increased, but without a century of accumulation, they will never pose a great threat.

Perhaps, in just a few decades, nations around the world will start using knives.

The competition between civilizations will never stop until one side is completely defeated.

Royal Palace

Ide appeared inside the hall, surrounded by his subjects. They treated him as if he were their king, and none dared to disobey, respectfully calling out, "Your Majesty."

Perhaps because he had broken through to the ninth level, his every word and action carried a greater sense of authority than before, exuding an aura of power without anger.

How many people on the invitation list have arrived?

The minister in charge of the coronation ceremony bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, eighty percent of the attendees have arrived."

Ide was slightly moved.

[Tsk tsk... That's strange, they didn't choose to humiliate us?]

He had assumed that no country would give Odyssey any face, since Odyssey was here to show off its power, and why would governments let them have it so easy?

At first, he thought that most governments would just send a few people as a symbolic gesture and restrict the rest of the list from going to Crescent City, but the result was beyond his expectations.

Who are the representatives from various countries?

"The United States sent Gabriel Lofeel, the European Union sent Wood, Russia sent Belikov, and China has not yet been notified."

Ide frowned. Was he going to mess things up in China?

Id was extremely wary of this ridiculously powerful superpower. The fact that four more ninth-tier beings appeared in a single Civilization Cup was outrageous. The total number was almost on par with the peak of Odyssey, and there was also a Soul Heaven-level expert that Odyssey had never had before.

Suddenly, the minister seemed to have received some information and said, "The list from China has arrived... it includes Yan Ziming and Murong Haiyi."

Two of them came at once!

The expressions of everyone in the imperial court changed.

Gabriel from the United States is actually Mandala, a newly promoted ninth-order cultivator. I heard that he is also very strong and seems to be the same type of person as Su Yuchen. The two from the European Union and Russia are only eighth-order cultivators. Only China sent two of the most popular rising stars in the country.

Moreover, they were quite certain that if it weren't for the limitations imposed by the conditions, there would have been even more ninth-tier cultivators from China.

For example, Xiao Ze, Mo Xin, Ye Qianxue, etc...

"Let's prepare the welcoming ceremony; we can't be negligent."

Id remained expressionless and dismissed them, lost in thought.

"My elder brother seems rather gloomy."

A soft, melodious female voice rang out from behind the curtain. Ide turned around and asked, "Royal sister, do you think China's actions are to give us face, or to sabotage us?"

His concerns are not unfounded.

Why did China have to send these two rising stars who are currently the most prominent in China? Is it trying to compete with him and kick him while he's down?

And the United States, which also sent a newly promoted ninth-rank official, probably had the same intention.

Heavens above, Yide is neither arrogant nor conceited. He is not afraid of challenges from Manchaluo and Murong Haiyi, but if he were to face Yan Zimo, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp.

She's a monster.

66. To feign compliance

On the plane, Yan Ziming and Murong Haiyi engaged in their usual banter.

"Tsk! I really didn't expect you to be here too! You better not get in my way, or I'll kill you."

"You think I want to see you? You are the one who wants to. Don't interfere with my business."

Yan Ziming and Murong Haiyi sat facing each other in first class, while outside were a group of people from wealthy families and some members of mainstream news media.

Although they were called news media, they were actually professionally trained intelligence agents specifically tasked with cooperating with Yan Ziming's operations.

After all, it would be too much to ask Yan Ziming to search for a needle in a haystack in Crescent City all by herself.

As for Murong Haiyi... Originally, Huaguo wanted Mo Sheng to go with him, but since Yan Ziming volunteered, Mo Sheng gave up her spot to her. However, neither of them knew this beforehand, which led to the current situation.

"Ugh... ugh... honestly, I always feel like nothing good ever happens when I'm with you. I'll be going now."

Yan Ziming's body transformed into a surge of electricity, forcefully passing through the aircraft's hull and reaching the outside, then moving forward at dozens of times the speed of the aircraft.

When Murong Haiyi saw Yan Ziming's reaction, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

The original intention of the state to send him here was to intimidate Odyssey and make the newly promoted ninth-rank emperor keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious. In addition, Murong Haiyi's willingness to come here was also intended to represent the Murong family to do business.

However, Yan Ziming actually replaced Mo Sheng at the last minute... He could only pray that things wouldn't go too far off track.

Above sea level

A blue-purple aura composed of scorching energy split the sea, like a high-speed plasma cloud, radiating a temperature strong enough to melt steel. Wherever it passed, the seawater steamed and churned, leaving behind a vast and misty maze.

Furthermore, this figure exuded an extremely powerful aura, capable of causing countless lives to wither away with a mere gesture. All creatures that sensed her aura hid in the seabed, not daring to show their faces.

This person was Yan Zimo.

Her plan was this:

If Wen Xintong already knows she's coming, she should be starting preparations now. But the Chinese leadership just sent the list, so the preparations will be rushed. If I speed things up, I can disrupt their plans significantly.

If the plan falls apart, the other side will likely make some mistakes, which will make things much easier for me.

"Well... the ideal is great, but will things really go that smoothly?" Yan Ziming smiled wryly.

At such a high speed, she quickly approached Crescent City, and its outline could already be seen on the horizon.

To the guards in Crescent City, the rapidly approaching plasma cloud resembled the eye of a storm, completely darkening the sky above the sea, like a harbinger of an impending tempest.

Before they could even raise the alarm, a person arrived in front of Crescent City, causing their trembling hands to relax.

As it approached Crescent City, the plasma cloud began to slow down, gradually returning to zero, and the surrounding plasma dissipated.

"Tsk! I just avoided one annoying person, and now an even more annoying one has appeared!"

As the clouds dispersed and her true form was revealed, Yan Ziming looked at the person who was already waiting for her on the shore of Crescent Moon City, and her disgust was revealed without any attempt to conceal it.

"Long time no see. This time, as the host, I will do my best to entertain you."

Su Yuchen's face was full of joy. When he learned that Yan Zimo would also be coming, he flew all the way back from the Solomon Islands. He had just arrived and happened to run into her. Was this really a fate given by heaven?

Yan Ziming ignored him as if he were air, saying, "Don't bother worrying about me! I can take care of myself!"

"Don't be so heartless. I won't do anything outrageous. I just want to be a good tour guide."

Su Yuchen continued to fawn over Yan Ziming, following behind him. Yan Ziming turned around and threatened him fiercely, "If you keep following me, believe me, I'll scratch your coronation ceremony."

Having said that, Yan Ziming quickened his pace.

"..." Su Yuchen scratched his nose awkwardly, and since he couldn't follow along, he had no choice but to let someone else take over the task.

After all, it was a grand ceremony for the Odyssey, so he had to restrain his usual habits and be more serious.
