I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Texas frowned as well: "That shouldn't be the case. Ever since that Officer Chen... she and Bai Yue went to Chernobog, the Guard Bureau has been arresting us much less frequently. But I haven't really done anything lately."

"that's me?"

Croissant looked flustered and bit her lip nervously, saying, "Could it be that I was reported for reselling goods?"

"Puch~"

Exusiai couldn't hold back and quickly waved her hand: "No, no, Croissant, you're overestimating yourself. What you earn isn't even enough for their dispatch allowance."

"Oh, Exusiai-neechan!"

Croissant practically wanted to stop the car and gore that stinky angel who was mocking her hard work to death with her bull horns.

But less than a minute later, Croissant saw police cars closing in from all directions and took his hands off the steering wheel.

There's no escaping it, there's really no escaping it! You'd better obediently go to the police station and let the Emperor bail you out.

......

Compared to the Penguin Logistics team who obediently stopped and were recognized by many police officers, the thugs behind them had a much harder time. The police officers used crossbows to blow out tires, shot them in the legs, and then slapped them twice on the head with batons.

It instantly put them into a baby-like sleep.

Croissant skillfully extended her hands, letting the policewoman handcuff her while asking curiously, "What happened? Why are there so many of you here today?"

Upon hearing this, the female police officer remembered it.

Wow, Tencent Logistics!

These are the old cronies of Count Ursus, who owns the mobile city of Chernobog and is about to arrive in Lungmen! Oh no, why did I arrest them?! I should have just given them a ticket and let them go!

Feeling remorseful, she immediately took remedial action, pulling out her keys to unlock the handcuffs, and then smiled, her expression changing:

"Oh dear, look at me, I forgot. Miss Croissant, you are the victims they are chasing, how could I put handcuffs on you? I'm sorry, it was my mistake."

"Hey, is that so?"

Croissant scratched his head in confusion, then looked back at the bullet holes in the thugs' cars. It looked like a fight between the two sides.

"That's it!"

The female police officer, with a determined expression, turned to her fully armed colleague beside her and said:

"These three ladies from Penguin Logistics were a bit frightened, and given the urgent mission, I think we don't need to send them back to the station to give statements. What do you think?"

Upon hearing the term "Penguin Logistics," the police officers, after a brief training session, immediately lowered their eyes and nodded in agreement.

An officer, eager to add drama to the situation, jumped in and said, "Of course, we not only have to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Lungmen, but also their mental health!"

"I think you should stop carrying out the mission and take the three ladies to get some psychological treatment to avoid any lasting effects."

"......"

The policewoman was speechless. "Hey buddy, does this have to be so obsequious? I just wanted to let them go. And you're making me a babysitter, huh?"

She wanted to object, but the police officers around her who knew about it all chimed in: "Yes, yes, Wang Ji, you go ahead, we'll take care of things here!"

...

A short while later, Wang Ji watched his colleague load the thugs into the car and drive off, not even leaving him a police car. Speechless, he turned to the three men and forced a smile:

"Haha, ladies, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Croissant raised her hand and said frankly, "Aren't we going to go for psychotherapy? I've never done it before, I'm a little curious."

"Stupid Croissant!"

Exusiai stepped forward and elbowed her, saying smugly, "Can't you tell Officer Wang is giving us a way out? We can just leave now!"

Then she looked at Wang Ji, waved and smiled, "Officer Wang, although I don't know why you helped us, thank you anyway. This is the first time you've managed to stop us from going to the Guard Bureau."

Two idiots!

Texas sighed inwardly, pushed aside the two clowns, and calmly said, "Never mind them, Officer Wang. Can you tell me why there are suddenly so many police officers here to crack down on crime in this area so close to the slums?"

"This doesn't seem like your style."

Finally, a smart person has arrived... Wang Ji was somewhat touched and smiled, "Shall we talk as we walk?"

"it is good."

......

Wang Ji is driving.

As a police officer, she certainly wouldn't drive like the people at Penguin Logistics, practically flooring the gas pedal. She drove steadily, leaving room for conversation:

"In fact, this operation has been going on for two days, but when we were in the city, our actions may have been a little... gentle, so you may not have noticed much."

"But violence is inevitable here."

“I know you’re going to ask why, why we’re doing this. But the answer isn’t hard to find; it’s right here beside you, it’s very obvious.”

"Around us?"

Croissant and Exusiai met eyes, both looking at each other with incredibly clear gazes, utterly bewildered.

Texas opened her phone and saw the message sent yesterday by the God of War of the Family Tree, who was Bai Yue: Dede, are you there? I'll be in Lungmen tomorrow, and I'll give you a big surprise!

Could it be Bai Yue?

she does not know.

Wang Ji had already driven to a checkpoint, opened the window and handed over his police ID, explaining that the other three people in the car were employees of Penguin Logistics, and was thus allowed to pass.

Exusiai and Croissant kept pestering her with questions, but she just smiled and said they would find out soon.

Texas, watching her performance, felt increasingly certain that her guess might be true.

No way, it really is Bai Yue?

Soon, we arrived at the next checkpoint. This time, cars were not allowed to enter, so we had to walk.

Wang Ji led the three of them to an intersection where the streets were cleared, and there were traces of water trucks cleaning the ground. Highly vigilant police officers could be seen everywhere.

"Wait a moment, he'll be here soon."

Wang Ji arranged for them to sit on the roadside benches, then turned around and went to report to the officer with a higher rank next to him.

......

Looking at the numerous police officers along the roadside, Croissant whispered, "Hey, Exusiai, Texas, why did she bring us here like that? There are so many police officers here, I..."

Texas saw the officers quickly form a line and slapped Croissant's thigh:

"Quiet down, I'm coming!"

"Come on, come on what?" Croissant was a little confused.

Exusiai, with her excellent eyesight, instantly spotted the convoy emerging and blinked, saying, "A car is coming."

......

Inside the welcoming motorcade, Bai Yue looked out the window boredly and complained to Lin Yuxia, who was driving, "I say, Sister Yuxia, did Uncle Wei really need to make such a big fuss? Clearing out the streets and all that is a bit too much."

Lin Yuxia smiled faintly: "That's normal. No matter how much you spend on superficial things, it won't cost more than an assassination attempt on a Duke of Ursus in Lungmen, which would provoke a war between Yan and Wu, right?"

"Oh, I see. I understand."

Bai Yue replied in a seemingly obedient manner.

But does he really not understand?

No wonder!

He wasn't complaining because of how he was treated.

Instead, he didn't see the kind of thing he wanted to see... the kind where people lined both sides of the street to welcome him, almost breaking through the police cordon, and preferably jumping and hopping with their hands raised high!

Sigh, it can only be said that there is still a small gap between ideals and reality.

Bai Yue watched for a while and felt even more bored. He was about to lie down on the emerald legs next to him for a nap when three familiar figures sitting in a row came into his view.

He blinked, making sure he wasn't mistaken, and immediately said:

"Sister Yuxia, stop, stop! It's Croissant, Aneng, and Dede! What are they doing here? I was planning to go find them later."

"Ah, stop here?"

Lin Yuxia, unusually, did not immediately fulfill his request, and instead advised, "Yue'er, tens of thousands of people have been working hard for you, you can't just let them all go to waste because of a moment of willfulness."

"Is it that serious?" Bai Yue muttered.

Lin Yuxia said quietly, "In the past, a certain emperor repeatedly tricked the princes and ministers for the sake of a certain imperial concubine, causing them to become alienated. As a result, with the tacit approval of these powerful figures, a palace coup was successfully carried out. Could this be considered a lesson from the past?"

"..."

Needless to say, Bai Yue knew it was her ancestor, Meixi. Oh dear, how infuriating! This bowl of rice that she could have eaten was actually eaten by her ancestor hundreds of years ago, leaving her no room at all!

"Alright alright."

Now that things have come to this point, any further recklessness would mean competing against the legendary Mei Xi. Although she didn't care much, Bai Yue didn't want to continue the glorious achievements passed down from her ancestors too soon.

Although she gave up on the idea of ​​parking, Bai Yue still had a bit of an urge to cause trouble.

So I rolled down the car window, took a picture of the trio, and planned to caption it "That year, we sat like little minions," not to post on social media, but just for my own amusement!

I'll frame it and hang it at home; just thinking about it will bring me joy.

Then he waved and laughed, "Hey, Ah Neng, De De, Croissant, I'm back! I'll come find you guys after I finish my work!"

......

"Oh my god, it's Bai Yue again!"

Upon seeing that the person in the car was Bai Yue, Croissant's legs instinctively went weak, and she wanted to kneel down in front of him and beg him to take care of her. However, after realizing that he was still in the car, her weak legs immediately straightened up, preventing the tragedy of her falling on the chair.

Exusiai covered her mouth, saying incredulously, "I... holy crap, it's so sparkly! Is the clothes on Little White made of gold thread? Dude, you've really struck it rich!"

Texas was stunned. She pulled out a Pocky stick, put it in her mouth, looked up at the sky, and thought, "Ah... the gap is huge now. It's time to give up my delusions..."

As for his statement that he would come looking for them again...

Haha, they genuinely said they'd like to hang out with a poor guy like you. Are you really going to take that seriously and foolishly go along with it?

If you're in a different circle, forcing it will only lead to pain.

......

Chapter 168 Wei Yanwu, the Glutton of the Pleasure Quarters

"This is... [Jinglu]?"

Bai Yue looked up at the sign hanging above this secluded garden, her eyes filled with confusion.

Then, led by a male servant, he, Lin Yuxia, and Jade and Amber carrying black boxes passed through layers of doors and finally arrived at a more secluded courtyard.

"Haha, my dear nephew, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you here for so long."

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yanwu stepped out from behind the screen in the courtyard, spread his arms wide, and shouted:

“Nephew, Miss Lin, welcome to my [Quiet Abode]. This is my usual place for self-cultivation, refining my character, and practicing swordsmanship. It is not open to the public and there are very few people coming and going. It is not even on the city planning map of Longmen.”

"You can rest assured, relax, and calm down."

"Because apart from distinguished guests like you, absolutely no one else will come in here! They will never disturb our conversation, and it's perfectly fine for you to stay overnight!"

He spoke these words with righteous indignation while making faces. He looked almost like one of those comedians on TV.

Bai Yue tilted her head, not understanding, and asked in confusion, "Hey, Uncle Wei, what are you talking about? Why is this Jinglu again? Didn't you say it was called Huanyan...?"

"Cough! Cough cough cough!!!"

Wei Yanwu seemed to choke on his own saliva, letting out a deafening cough. Not content with just coughing, he pounded his chest, his eyes darting around frantically, gesturing for him to be quiet.

Bai Yue was startled, her eyes widening as she stared blankly at Wei Yanwu, who was coughing, like a cat.

Old Deng, don't die in front of me!

Taking advantage of Bai Yue's dazed state, Wei Yanwu finally caught his breath and forced an unnatural smile onto his face:

“Uh… well… my dear nephew, as the saying goes, it is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Naturally, Jinglu, as the place where I entertain distinguished guests, has another name: Huanyan (Joyful Banquet).

“We can enjoy the flowers and tea here, read poetry, play Go, paint some ink paintings, and your uncle can even teach you how to use a sword. You see, how can this not be called a feast?”
