Lady, you don’t want to be corrupted by the devil, do you?

"If I don't come again, will the position of the mayor of City No. 4 belong to you, Tong Che?" City Lord Shao said with a smile.

"Haha... I was just joking, joking. City Lord Shao is of course the number one person in our City No. 4... Since the City Lord is here, I'm sure he can handle the matter perfectly. I'll leave first and won't bother you anymore... I'll visit you some other day to apologize..."

Tong Che's smile was stiff, and he turned around and prepared to leave after he finished speaking. He looked at Zhou Jiuyu with an apologetic look, and then without any hesitation, he took his people away.

After seeing the city lord coming, the people in the dark group walked much faster than their boss!

The crowd that was crowded around the Awakening Tower just now disappeared in an instant, and the streets became deserted.

Although they say they can sacrifice their lives for money, when it comes to this kind of situation, they still want to die...

Anyway, the 10 billion in cash and the incomplete breathing method are already in the base. They belong to them in the base, but there is no way to get more benefits from Zhou Jiuyu... But one should not be too greedy, and should stop when one is ahead.

This is the city lord himself! A ninth-level supernatural being!

Why is he the city lord? Because he can massacre the entire city by himself!

"Sir, they..."

Nan Mengling frowned as she looked at these people who ran away without any regard for the spirit of the contract.

"It's okay. I never thought they would work for me. It's enough that they can let us enter this tower and meet the final boss."

Zhou Jiuyu shook his head and said softly that this was within his expectations.

Anyway, the money and the imperfect breathing method were not considered as wealth to him. It was just a matter of breathing for a while...

At this moment, only City Lord Shao, Zhou Jiuyu and Nan Mengling were left in the empty Superpower Awakening Tower.

"Okay, now there are no outsiders here, Mr. Zhou, Xiao Mengling, we can sit down and have a good talk... You have to understand me. After all, I owe that old Sword God a favor, so I have to put on a big show for him."

City Lord Shao sat down on the stairs gently, and even asked Zhou Jiuyu to sit down with him: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shao Xiuqi, the city lord of City No. 4... You don't have to be so wary of me."

"Xiao Mengling, before I awakened, your father and I were classmates... and we were very good friends. Think back, has your father ever mentioned me?"

As he finished speaking, Nan Mengling and Zhou Jiuyu were both stunned.

What the hell is going on here?

Author's words: It's the beginning of the month, I'm begging for a monthly ticket, please, woo woo woo

I have been waking up at night for the past few days.

So the update time is changed to about 9-11 o'clock.

Then another update at midnight (just read it in the morning)

I try to adjust my schedule... crying

But I will write two more chapters at midnight today~

022 Because I like the son

"You... know my father?" Nan Mengling asked hesitantly.

"Of course I know him. Didn't I tell you that your father and I are very good friends?" Shao Xiuqi sat on the steps, smiling gently.

Nan Mengling pursed her lips, unsure for a moment. She didn't know whether what City Lord Shao said was true or false.

"However, your father died early. Even if he mentioned me, it was when you were a child. You now would not remember things from such a long time ago." Shao Xiuqi shook his head.

For a moment, Nan Mengling really tried to recall the past, but as City Lord Shao said, the memory of that time was too long ago, and she was still immature, so she definitely wouldn't remember...

"These are all things from childhood, so I definitely don't remember them. So in other words, even if you made it up and are trying to fool my maid, you can use this reason to explain it." Zhou Jiuyu looked at him calmly, and then said:

"Besides... since you are a friend of Meng Ling's father, where were you when her father died? Don't tell me that as the lord of a city, you don't know who killed her father."

Shao Xiuqi showed helplessness on his face: "By the time I knew about this, it was too late. Meng Ling had already been taken to Jianshen Mountain. Jianshen is already one of the strongest people in the world. I have the will, but I am powerless..."

"I have always been thinking about this matter, but my limit as a superpower is here. In the past ten years, my strength has not improved much, so it is naturally impossible for me to defeat the Sword God... I thought I could only hold back my anger about this matter, but I didn't expect that you, Master Zhou, escaped from the Sword God Mountain with Xiao Mengling."

"Thank you so much." Shao Xiuqi looked at Zhou Jiuyu with a smile.

But Zhou Jiuyu didn't give him a good look. He took out his phone and pulled up a picture: "Thank me? No, no, no, I can't bear it. I should thank you. This wanted poster says... It doesn't matter if I live or die."

Shao Xiuqi showed a bitter expression: "I have explained this before. In the early years, I owed the Sword God a favor, so I had to put on a show for him... But acting is acting, I don't have a good impression of that hypocritical guy. In addition, he killed Meng Ling's father. I have always wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately I don't have this opportunity."

"But..." He paused, then turned his gaze to Namling:

"Now, the opportunity has come. You will bring Xiao Mengling down the mountain. Her supernatural talent was detected when she was a child. She has great psychic potential in her body. It is very likely that she will awaken to the ninth level. When the time comes, Xiao Mengling and I will fight our way up to Jianshen Mountain together. I will help you, Xiao Mengling, to personally behead your enemy!"

He looked at Nan Mengling and Zhou Jiuyu with kindness: "We are not enemies, on the contrary, we are companions."

But neither Zhou Jiuyu nor Nan Mengling could be fooled by his empty words, and the two of them just watched his performance quietly.

Shao Xiuqi was not surprised by this, he just smiled and stood up: "That's right, after all, there is no evidence for what I said, so let me show you these..."

He took out a photo, which was a very old graduation photo. He pointed at the two people in it and said, "Look, this is me, this is your father... This is our graduation photo back then. Oh, and this..."

Then he took out an old-fashioned camera and played the video: "Look who the girl is in this."

Nan Mengling looked at the little girl in the video. Of course she recognized her. It was her birthday when she was three or four years old. Her parents were standing beside her and they looked very happy.

But how could she have imagined, smiling so happily at that time, that two years later, her family would fall apart?

"This is the video your father asked me to take of your birthday... Your father is a very stubborn man. Even though I offered him a position in the inspection team, he was unwilling to accept it. I wanted to give him a camera, but he refused. He insisted that I record it... Sigh..."

As Shao Xiuqi spoke, he sighed.

Nan Mengling was silent for a moment. She looked at herself in the video. She really remembered such a scene when she was a child. It seemed that there was indeed an uncle who recorded a video for their family at that time.

“Are you really... a friend of my father?” Nan Mengling believed it a little, because these things do have the ability to convince people.

"Of course." Shao Xiuqi smiled.

"No need to play so many emotional cards. After all this talk, you won't stop my maid from awakening her special powers, right?" Zhou Jiuyu would not be fooled by him.

"How could that be? Letting Xiao Mengling awaken her special powers is what I want most..."

Shao Xiuqi slowly stood up and patted the power awakening stone behind him: "This is a power awakening stone with a purity of 95%, a high-level among high-level awakening stones. Xiao Mengling, you want to awaken, please do as you please."

"but…"

The voice paused, and Shao Xiuqi's eyes became fainter at this moment: "Mr. Zhou, I am very grateful for sending Meng Ling here. You can ask for any reward you want, and I will satisfy you. But you don't need to accompany little Meng Ling on the rest of the journey."

"Oh, after all, you are just like the Sword God, plotting against my maid?" Zhou Jiuyu sneered.

"I think you misunderstood something. I only treat Xiao Mengling as my niece. I already have a wife, and she is very strict..." Shao Xiuqi shook his head without changing his expression, but then his eyes became sharp and he looked directly at Zhou Jiuyu:

"But I think that Mr. Zhou is the one who has evil intentions towards Meng Ling, right?"

"Maybe you saved Mengling, but what was your purpose? It's true that you saved Xiao Mengling, but you took her to a hotel and booked a single room on the first night. We were all adults, but you, a grown man, took a young girl who was not well-versed in the world to book a room. What was your intention?"

"If you really just want to help this poor girl Xiao Mengling... then you should let go now."

Shao Xiuqi looked at the silent Zhou Jiuyu and suddenly laughed: "You don't want to let go, right? You said it in a high-sounding way, but what's the difference between you and the Sword God? You harm Xiao Mengling under the guise of redemption? Aren't you just trying to satisfy your pathetic possessiveness? Don't blame me for saying harsh words, Mr. Zhou... you are just a hypocrite after all."

"Are you done?" Zhou Jiuyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He couldn't help but feel a little funny at this moment: "You are quite right, but you are wrong about one thing."

He gently stroked Nan Mengling's rosy lips with his fingers, and then the corners of his mouth slightly widened: "I'm not trying to harm her in a high-sounding way... I have always done things in an upright manner, I just want her body."

"And! When did I ever say I was a gentleman? I'm sorry, I'm not well educated, I'm a rough man, I don't understand these things."

At this moment, Zhou Jiuyu's fingers quietly slid into Nan Mengling's lips, causing Nan Mengling's legs to tremble a little, but she did not spit out Zhou Jiuyu's fingers. After all, apart from the risk of possible incontinence and embarrassment, this was a complete reward for her.

This scene made Shao Xiuqi silent for a long time.

But then he looked at Nan Mengling and said, "Xiao Mengling, you heard what he said. He saved you just for your body. He is trampling on your dignity... Your future is limitless. You should not be bound by a man like him, especially a man like him. I will plan your future path for you. After revenge, you will have a brand new life."

Zhou Jiuyu slowly retracted his fingers: "This is today's reward, don't be too greedy... By the way, someone asked you, do you want to go with him or with me?"

Nan Mengling's voice was not hesitant, and it was soft but clear: "I want to follow you, Master."

Shao Xiuqi was a little surprised for a moment. He thought that Nan Mengling would at least hesitate after saying this, but he didn't expect that she would not hesitate at all. He was silent for a while, but couldn't help asking: "Xiao Mengling, why did you choose him? You know that he has bad intentions towards you."

Nameng Ling thought for a while before answering softly:

"Because I like you, young master."

Author's words: The next update is in progress, please give me a monthly vote~

023 Lord Shao, have a pleasant journey.

"You lecherous maid, you really have evil intentions towards this young master!"

Zhou Jiuyu immediately looked at Nan Mengling with a vigilant look and even took half a step back.

"Don't you also want my body?"

Nameng Ling spoke quietly, her eyes clear.

"I was just saying it casually, but you actually took it seriously. A maid wants to become a lady?"

Nan Mengling's mouth opened slightly, and after her brain was confused, she whispered, "I was just joking, sir, don't take it seriously."

"Then I'll give you your fingers as a reward. Do you want to eat it?" Zhou Jiuyu raised his hand.

"Eat." Nan Mengling raised her head quickly, her eyes shining.

"Hey, hey, you really have bad intentions towards me, I won't give you any food."

Shao Xiuqi, watching this flirtatious scene, was speechless for a moment. He had actually overlooked this factor...

Yes, even though Nan Mengling is a sword fairy who has come to the world, although she is inexperienced in worldly affairs, she has her own self-esteem and vigilance. It is difficult for her to be deceived, and she will not be easily bewitched... But the problem is that even if she is a sword fairy, she is a very young sword fairy, and also a... girl.

Every girl has her first love.

Such a handsome young man saved her when she was most desperate, took her on the run, and gradually uncovered the cause of her parents' death for her, helping her to untie her knot in her heart. This happened at the age of eighteen when she was the most sensitive and in need of love the most... How could she not be obsessed with the young master of her family?

But...it doesn't really matter.

Shao Xiuqi's expression regained some smile, and he shook his head: "Since Xiao Mengling, you are determined to follow him, then I will not stop you, you can go and awaken your superpowers."

Nan Mengling did not walk up to the ceremony platform immediately, but glanced at Zhou Jiuyu first, with some hesitation in her eyes.

"They've already asked you to awaken your powers, why are you still hesitating?"

Zhou Jiuyu grabbed Nan Mengling's hand and led her to the ceremony platform. He held her soft little hand and placed it on the awakening stone. He said softly, "Don't be too stressed. Even if the awakening is not as successful as expected, we still have a backup plan to implement."

"I'm not nervous, sir."

"Your hand sweat is all over me."

"This is... that thing is breaking out, I have to keep my body tense, so..." Nan Mengling said in a low voice with a red face.

Zhou Jiuyu: “…”

As expected of the heroine in the pornographic book, he thought he was very perverted, but he didn't expect that his maid was even better than him.

But at this time, Shao Xiuqi came over again and said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, what I said just now was a bit offensive, don't take it to heart... Since Xiao Mengling chose you, we are also companions, and we all want to help Xiao Mengling..."

Zhou Jiuyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What do you want to say? Just say it."

"I have a favor to ask you, a small favor... Don't I owe the Sword God a favor? I told him that I would bring Xiao Mengling to the Sword God Mountain, and I wanted to use this to trick the Sword God." Shao Xiuqi whispered.

"How do you want to cheat?"

"Mr. Zhou, I need you to cooperate with me in the play. I will pretend to kill you, and the surveillance camera will capture me killing you. I will send this surveillance video to the Sword God and tell him that Xiao Mengling has been rescued by me. Then, we will go up the mountain together while he is not prepared and give him... a surprise!"

Shao Xiuqi smiled and looked at Zhou Jiuyu: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

"It's just a small matter, of course." Zhou Jiuyu nodded in response, also smiling.

Shao Xiuqi also smiled, and his smile was kind and gentle, but he was also laughing in his heart, but it was a sneer.

Young people... are so arrogant. You are still laughing now, I wonder if you can still laugh later.

But what he didn't know was that Zhou Jiuyu had the same idea in his mind as he did.

"Then...Mr. Zhou, the show is about to begin, you have to act well."

As he finished speaking, a small earth spike slowly condensed in Shao Xiuqi's hand.

"Don't worry, this earth spike doesn't have much killing power. At most it will pierce your clothes."

Shao Xiuqi explained with a smile.

Suddenly, behind him, Namu Ling touched the awakening stone, and powerful psychic energy waves burst out. Bright light filled the interior of the awakening tower. For a moment, a strong wind surged in the silent tower, and for a moment, it was like a sea of ​​​​air!

“Ninth level… I actually awakened to the ninth level… God helps me, God helps me!”

Shao Xiuqi couldn't help but let out an ecstatic smile, which was completely different from the one just now. At this moment, the earth spike in his hand blasted directly towards Zhou Jiuyu:
