Chapter 9 The water in Jing'an City is too deep! (4K for further reading)
"She's coming of age?"
Li Xun looked at Zi Yin in his arms in surprise and said, "Looking at her age, it will take a few years for her to reach maturity!"
"I am not sure as well."
White Snake Girl Yu'er shook her head and said: "The time for each half-demon girl to reach adulthood is different. This is related to many factors such as the mixed race, the purity of the blood, and whether the nutrition during the growth and development stage is good.
, but in my opinion, this little cat girl probably showed signs of awakening in the blood in her body because she just burst out her innate magical power in a desperate situation."
"Then what to do now?"
Li Xun had no experience in this area, so he asked Yu'er, "Looking at her like this, she seems to be in pain."
"Returning to the master, the half-demon girl has entered the adult stage, which means the awakening of the monster blood in her body. Although in the eyes of many people, this only means that from now on, the half-demon girl can feel free and bold to ravage her, but
In fact, this is a very significant transformation.”
Yu'er covered her upper body with one hand and said: "From my own experience, this kitten girl's bloodline has a tendency to awaken early, and it should take a period of brewing before she can completely trigger the tide in her body.
There will be a big explosion, and if you want to stably pass this level, it is best to capture a monster from the Cat Monster Clan alive, take its blood, outline the Cat Monster Clan totem, and use some elixirs to assist.
"
"Want to catch a cat monster?"
Li Xun's eyes narrowed slightly.
This is no easy task.
The monsters are violent and unruly, and most of them are very strong when alone, while most of the weak ones live in groups, so it is quite difficult to capture them.
Moreover, for both captures, the difficulty of capturing them alive will be several times greater than that of killing them!
"You have been rooted in Jing'an City for several years. The nearby monster tribes and the adjacent Dawei towns all have Internet cafes you have connections with?"
Li Xun said: "Now start collecting the elixirs needed for Zi Yin's coming-of-age ceremony, and also pay attention to the movements of the nearby cat monsters, and wait for an opportunity to bring back a cat monster. Can you do it?"
"Yes, Master."
Yu'er nodded slightly and responded respectfully: "Although these two things are very difficult, I will try my best."
"good."
Li Xun nodded slightly at Yu'er. He knew that this was the first thing he told Yu'er after she surrendered. This white snake lady would definitely do her best and would not dare to neglect.
"Cat Girl, you are going to grow up!"
Li Xun reached out and gently smoothed Catwoman Ziyin's hair.
The painful expression on Zi Yin's face at this moment has gradually calmed down, but she is still in a coma, and even white mist rises around her body under the cool night. It seems that a volcano is awakening in her delicate body, ready to attack at any time.
burst out.
Thinking of the way Zi Yin was arguing with him with her chest puffed out when she was just full in Jile Tower, Li Xun couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
On the side, Yu'er followed Li Xun's line of sight and found that his gaze was resting on Zi Yin's upper body, and she immediately misunderstood the meaning of "grow up" in his mouth.
"I have seen Luo Li's foxy girl several times before. Her figure is indeed quite amazing. Does the owner think that this little kitten girl will have a figure like Luo Li's when she becomes an adult?"
Yu'er pondered for a moment, but decided to give Li Xun a friendly reminder first, lest he be disappointed.
"Master, in fact, not all half-demon girls... what, ahem! That scale will develop to such a majestic level."
Yu'er made a "you know" expression towards Li Xun and said: "Most of the Catwoman clan are famous for their petite, slender and soft figures, which are somewhat similar to our Snake clan."
"Although this Catwoman has a good foundation, she will probably be on the same scale as a slave when she becomes an adult."
After saying that, Yu'er lowered her head and looked at the white snow exposed in the seam of her damaged clothes, and said a little shyly: "It is definitely not as spectacular as Luo Li's... ahem, so spectacular."
"..."
Li Xun curled his lips, knowing that Yu'er had misunderstood again.
"Don't think too much."
Li Xun pursed his lips and explained: "When I say she is going to grow up, I mean she is going to be an adult and will no longer be a child."
"Yes, yes."
Yu'er smiled and nodded.
But looking at her hidden smile and the "I understand" expression on her face, Li Xun knew that this white snake girl definitely didn't take her explanation seriously...
well!
Sometimes Li Xun really wants to look up to the sky and scream - you half-demon girls, can you stop looking at me like a pervert???
I am a pure person, a serious person, and a person who has escaped from vulgar taste!
After being seduced by Luo Li's nanny for so long, but still only able to look at but not eat, Li Xun felt that he had already been able to sit still and become an ascetic male god with even stronger determination than Liu Xiahui.
Already.
But these half-demon women are always prejudiced against him.
Li Xun really wants to find a cloak and have five characters tattooed on it - Witch, please respect yourself!
"Then do I need to arrange for someone to dispose of these corpses?"
Yu'er looked around the alley filled with the smell of blood and asked Li Xun: "If the master needs it, I can wipe away all traces and never cause any trouble to the master."
"I can also send people to find those onlookers who escaped earlier and kill them all."
Having said this, a trace of frost appeared on Yu'er's charming and charming face. She raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky, and said solemnly: "There is still about an hour before dawn. If you hurry up, it will be enough!
"
"Need not."
Li Xun shook his head slightly, chuckled and said: "Not only do I not want you to clear away these corpses and the bystanders who escaped earlier, on the contrary, I also want you to send someone to kill the heads of these fifteen guys.
Many of them were hung up in front of the gate of my city lord's palace."
"Master, is he deliberately trying to cause a war?"
Yu'er frowned in confusion, then took a breath of air and exclaimed: "Does the master want to take action to consolidate the chaos in Jing'an City?"
"good."
Li Xun nodded slightly and said: "Since you are mine, I will not hide it from you. As the prince of the Wei Dynasty, although my father is willing to delegate power to us and allow us to govern ourselves in the fiefdom, after the princes take charge of one side,
, there is an assessment every three years, and now there is only more than a year left before the next assessment, so we must rectify Jing'an without delay!"
"But Jingan City has been in chaos for so many years. It's not like no one before the city lord wanted to rectify it, but the water inside is really too deep."
There was a trace of worry in Yu'er's eyes, and she said: "Besides, since she was injured in the last monster attack, Luo Li has not come back yet. Master, you can use it by your side."
There are still too few people, so it would be a bit too hasty to rectify it now, right?"
"After tonight, you should know that even my own strength is not weaker than any famous powerful man in the city, right?"
Li Xun frowned slowly and asked: "Not to mention, I am the lord of a city and can command the court's garrison for my own use! Even if these are not enough, add the power of your subordinate Ji Lelou
What? Isn’t that enough?”
"Master, although you are quite powerful, many things in Jing'an City are not as simple as they seem."
Seeing that Li Xun insisted on doing this, Yu'er said anxiously: "Master, I won't say much else, just my identity. You didn't know that I was a half-demon before, and every time the snake demon clan attacks the city,
, it’s all because I’m their internal correspondent, right?”
"What about other than that?"
Li Xun looked at Yu'er and asked seriously: "Tell me everything you know."
"I don't know much about other things, but I can guess a lot of things just by looking at them."
Yu'er lowered her voice and said: "Master, if you think about it carefully, why do monsters attack the city several times every year in Jing'an City? It has almost become a regular pattern? With the national power of the Wei Dynasty, if it really sends a powerful force
The army and experts come to guard the border. With the strength and scale of the monsters that attack the city every time, will Jingan be able to break the city?"
"You mean...the imperial court is deliberately allowing monsters to attack the city?!"
After Li Xun pondered for a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly and he took a breath of air.
Yu'er nodded solemnly.
"Master, you might as well think again, who are the majority of people in this city? Exiled sinners, fallen criminals, and escaped murderers. Does the court care about these people?"
Yu'er said.
"Not only does the imperial court not care, these people are also a burden to the imperial court."
Li Xun said solemnly: "Managing their human, material and financial resources is a huge burden for the imperial court."
"My master is right! So, isn't it so difficult to understand why the imperial court doesn't defend Jing'an to death?"
Yu'er smiled bitterly and said: "Those monsters attacking the city are like natural cleaning agents. Every time they kill people during the siege, they are 'reducing the burden' for the court in disguise!"
The fists in Li Xun's sleeves were clenched unconsciously.
Yu'er's words, even with his ambition, sounded like falling into an ice cellar and shuddered!
Is the annual monster siege of the city an act of tacit approval by the imperial court that turns a blind eye?!
This Jingan City is like a huge meat grinder. Every day, the imperial court will send the burdensome "fat meat" here, and then wait for the monsters to attack the city and grind them into dregs!
"Also, most of the family members of criminals and other female prisoners who are exiled from various places every year will be plundered by the monsters during the monster siege, and then forced to raise half-beast mothers."
Speaking of this, a hint of hatred appeared in Yu'er's eyes, and she said: "As far as I know, those half-demon girls born will not only continue to be used by the beasts to vent their ravages when they grow up, but also
Many of them were bought and sold into the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles of the human race through secret transactions. How many interests are involved in this dirty transaction chain? Master, do you think it is so easy to move?"
Li Xun said nothing.
Silence is the most appropriate answer at this time.
Just as Yu'er said, the water in Jingan City is too deep!
"Master, when you were assigned to Jingan City to rule the country, you should have known in your heart that you are already the emperor's abandoned son..."
Yu'er hesitated before speaking: "If you want to make political achievements in Jing'an City, the possibility is almost zero! Even if you want to save your life and become a wealthy idler, you have to turn a blind eye here.
Otherwise, you may be killed!"
"It's really fucking difficult..."
Li Xun gave a bitter laugh, shrugged and said: "I, the city lord, have to be so aggrieved? It's really unpleasant to think about it!"
Originally, he thought that the hardest nut to crack in Jing'an City was the two major forces, Jile Tower and the mines on the outskirts of the city.
But now it seems that they are just local snakes on the surface.
The black hands who really control Jingan City behind the scenes are probably the senior officials of the Wei Dynasty, as well as the powerful monsters who secretly communicate with them!
With Li Xun's current strength and power, it is really too far to stir up trouble in this pool of water.
"So Master, let's keep a low profile and don't think about the throne."
Yu'er whispered: "As long as you can help me alleviate the backlash of my bloodline, with Ji Lelou here, you will have no worries about food and drink in your life, and in a place like Jingan City, as long as you stay here, even if you become the new emperor in the future,
Once you ascend the throne, no one will come to deal with you. You can live comfortably as a wealthy and idle person, how carefree and free you are!"
"Have you been huddled in this cold meat grinder?"
Li Xun looked around and suddenly sneered: "What's the difference between that and being in jail?"
"And I don't want to be scolded by my father in public because my political performance is at the bottom when I go to Beijing for the assessment."
After saying that, he sneered and said: "On the contrary, I also thought of photographing my first-place performance in front of my father and the officials, so that they could open their eyes and take a closer look.
Who is the most powerful among all the princes!"
"My lord! Is this the time to be competitive?"
Yu'er was so anxious that she was about to shed tears. She felt that all her words just now were in vain.
It took a lot of effort for me to see the hope of solving the blood backlash. Are you in such a hurry to avoid committing suicide, okay?
"What are you talking about?"
At this moment, the cat girl Zi Yin in Li Xun's arms suddenly snorted and slowly woke up.
"Are you awake? How do you feel now?"
Li Xun gently stroked her back and asked.
"I feel better now, but I'm just so tired and want to sleep..."
Zi Yin took the initiative to shrink into Li Xun's arms, hugged Li Xun's neck and murmured.
"Okay, if you're sleepy, just sleep peacefully. It'll be fine."
Li Xun smiled fondly, and then a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Yu'er, just do as I said before and hang these heads in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion."
Li Xun hugged Zi Yin and said, "I'm still waiting for the show to start tomorrow morning!"
"Owner!"
Yu'er exhaled softly and wanted to persuade Li Xun again.
"Don't worry, I know it well. The road has to be walked step by step. If you take too big a step, you will easily get hurt. I understand this better than you."
But Li Xun interrupted her, hugged Zi Yin, and walked towards the city lord's mansion without looking back.
Looking at his upright back, Yu'er was stunned on the spot, her eyebrows slightly furrowed and she asked in confusion: "What is it that gives him such strong self-confidence?"
It's a pity that Yu'er will never know, because the moment Catwoman Ziyin woke up, the "Half-Demon Girl Collection Illustrated Book" in Li Xun's mind lit up again.
"Collector Li Xun and collection object catwoman Zi Yin, the spiritual bond intimacy reaches 25%!"
