Chapter 190
Hearing this, Jingwu smiled even more sweetly.
She was now certain that Prince Yu had absolutely no cultivation.
She reached out and summoned Xiaoqing, a smile playing on her lips: "Your Highness has given Yue Huai and me such a generous gift, allowing us to resolve the matter of Xiangyun Town and gain even more merit. I must return the favor and express my gratitude for such a great gift."
Jingwu's eyes curved into crescents as he lightly tapped the fan, waking Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, go and properly thank His Highness Prince Yu."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing understood what her master was about to do. Without any hesitation, she immediately flew forward and began to slap Prince Yu.
The blue light lashed at the man's body like a whip.
The next second, the man's scream of pain woke the woman sleeping beside him. She looked at the scene, not knowing what had happened, and instinctively screamed.
"ah......"
Upon hearing the sound, Jingwu looked at the courtesan who had been awakened, a smirk playing on his lips, and reached out to temporarily seal her mouth.
Shh, be gentle.
The courtesan looked on in terror, her eyes filled with panic as she tried to call for help, but she couldn't utter a sound.
Jingwu stopped smiling, sat down in his chair, and looked at Prince Yu, who was screaming in pain as Xiaoqing beat him.
If he hadn't been so burdened with sins, she would have killed him long ago and scattered his soul; there would have been no need for Xiaoqing to teach him a lesson.
Jingwu sat upright in the chair, watching him scream in pain, his body covered in red, swollen marks. His anger finally subsided a little.
The next second, a burst of white light suddenly erupted.
Xiaoqing sensed something was wrong; a wave of oppressive power swept over her, and she quickly flew back.
"Master, run! I've sensed the presence of an evil god!"
Jingwu jumped up and turned to check, only to see that Prince Yu had suddenly regained his mobility.
He quickly got out of bed, enduring the pain, and tried to grab himself.
"Jingwu, you just wait, I will never let you go."
Jingwu frowned, quickly recited a teleportation spell, and disappeared from the spot.
She had barely disappeared when a wisp of gas appeared in the air.
"Useless thing, you can't even handle such a small matter."
Upon seeing the black gas, Prince Yu immediately knelt down: "Lord Evil God, I had already tricked them into that town, and I really didn't expect them to come out alive."
"I truly underestimated them. It's a pity about all the zombies in the city," the evil god said through gritted teeth. As long as the city gates were opened, these zombies would obey his orders and attack the people.
All he had to do was follow behind them and devour their souls.
Now, all four of them have emerged unscathed, but they've also dragged all the zombies in the town down with them.
The thought of this made the evil god furious. He glanced coldly at the person kneeling on the ground and muttered "useless trash" under his breath.
"My lord, I will immediately issue orders to arrest Jingwu and the Shao family..." Prince Yu said through gritted teeth, feeling the pain in his body and harboring resentment towards Jingwu.
"No need. The most urgent thing is for you to find a way to put my statue back into the temple and receive the offerings from the people! Once you become emperor, you can target the Shao family however you want. Don't do these useless things now."
The evil god impatiently interrupted him. If he regained his physical body, strangling that woman would be a piece of cake.
But now, with no physical body formed and no successful resurrection, the limitations of using magic are extremely great, and nothing can be done.
“However, the investigation in the capital is very strict now, I’m afraid…” Prince Yu knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at the gas in front of him, and said tremblingly with his head down.
"Then you'd better figure something out!" The evil god looked at him coldly. "Do you still want to sit on the throne? If you do, then hurry up and figure something out!"
"Yes, yes..." Prince Yu didn't dare to argue back at all, and answered tremblingly.
The oppressive atmosphere in the room vanished as soon as he finished speaking.
Prince Yu realized that he had already left, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, stand up from the ground, and begin to think of a solution.
After returning home, Jingwu sat on the soft couch.
She held Xiaoqing in her hand and twirled it around, her brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
"Master, Master! I'm going to faint!"
Before long, Xiaoqing began to voice her accusations.
Jingwu stopped what he was doing, looked at the fan, and asked, "How did you sense the aura of the evil god?"
"I noticed it all of a sudden, Master, didn't you notice?" Xiaoqing said earnestly.
Jingwu's lips twitched violently. If she could sense it, would she need to ask her?
She casually placed the fan on the table, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to think.
Xiaoqing didn't know what was wrong with her either; she suddenly stopped talking.
She struggled to lift her fan to check the situation, but the person in front of her looked like he was cultivating.
She pursed her lips, decided not to disturb them, and went back to sleep.
Jingwu closed his eyes, and many scenes flashed through his mind.
She tried hard to find any clues, but found nothing.
She didn't understand why Prince Hui wanted to marry Jing Shu if he was connected to the evil god.
Could it be that he really was lustful at first sight?
With so many beautiful women in the capital, why did he choose Jing Shu?
As the daughter of a wealthy businessman, isn't the rank of a concubine a bit too high?
In the two years since Jingwu descended the mountain, he has witnessed and experienced many things, and he deeply understands the importance of marriage between people of equal social standing. Ordinary people value this, but the royal family values it even more.
Her thoughts drifted back to the first time she met Prince Hui, when he forcibly invited her to a separate residence and promised her the position of a concubine.
Is this prince's concubine so worthless?
That shouldn't be the case.
Jingwu was completely baffled. She looked at the darkening sky outside and sighed deeply.
She couldn't find any ideas at all!
Not only Prince Hui, but also Shao Wanyan and Jing Shu.
What exactly were the promises made that made the two of them so devoted to serving Prince Hui?
Jingwu thought for a long time, feeling extremely agitated and unable to calm down to cultivate, so he simply stared out the window in a daze.
If it weren't for the unexpected turn of events involving Shao Wanyan and her daughter, I would have already bought a house in the capital...
As night deepened, Jingwu walked to the window, looked out at his aunt's courtyard, and pondered for a moment.
All she wants now is for the Shao family to be unharmed and uninvolved.
As for Shao Wanyan and her daughter, let them do whatever they want.
Since Jing Shu is going to marry into the royal family, she will release her in a few days.
It's absolutely impossible to just ask the Shao family to prepare a dowry.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Jingwu twitched the corners of his mouth, walked back to the soft couch, took two deep breaths, and banished all these miscellaneous thoughts from his mind.
