Yang Zijin felt that the law enforcement officer she met today was a real joke. He was clearly so powerful, with a domain ability at the nine-star level that could have instantly killed her, yet he allowed her to have a heart-to-heart talk in the room while simultaneously performing a soul search on her. No, it wasn't a soul search; it was more like a time reversal.
Yes, time travel.
Unlike the harsh soul-searching techniques he had seen before, he not only experienced no pain during the process, but was also completely unharmed and did not become a cripple. This treatment... was a bit too good!
The questions asked were also very strange, as if it were the first time they had come here, knowing nothing yet understanding everything, not even what the cat ears on their heads meant, yet daring to swagger into Yecheng.
Either she's genuinely reckless, or she possesses absolute strength, for everything else is secondary to that strength.
In Yang Zijin's view, it is naturally strength.
The city lord of Yecheng, Lanshan, is only a seven-star monster. Against a nine-star domain, he would be instantly killed. He is no better than Lanshan!
And now, he's actually hearing this strange creature say that he made a mistake?!
Do they really think humans are all fools, so easily deceived?
"Stop pretending to be innocent in front of me. Since I'm already in your hands, you can do whatever you want with me!" Yang Zijin knew she couldn't escape and didn't intend to betray her teammates. She acted as if her life was worthless and she didn't care if Su Luo did what he wanted.
It's truly remarkable how loyal a twenty-year-old can maintain such an innocent demeanor in this world.
"What a pity." Su Luo said indifferently, not knowing what he was sorry about, but in Yang Zijin's opinion, it meant that he had made the right bet. These strange creatures were cunning and treacherous. Every word they spoke was obviously a trick to bluff him. What would Brother Shu do if he had really agreed?
"Don't worry, I have no interest in killing."
“Now that it’s in my hands,” Su Luo glanced at the now-cold black tea on the coffee table and gestured, “as a proper male servant, make me some hot tea.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zijin gave him a look that said, "I don't believe it at all." What did he mean by not being interested in killing? They clearly wanted to torture him, yet they were making him serve tea and water, and as a male servant?!
He's a five-star domain owner after all, why should he give it to... Oh well, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Times change, and as long as you're alive, you can always find a way to rebuild.
The task assigned to him by Xinghuo cannot be abandoned because of a law enforcement officer.
Thinking about it carefully, this is not all bad. If he can really stay by Su Luo's side, he can not only get rid of the pursuers, but also use his position to secretly investigate and find out where Brother Shu is. It's a win-win situation!
Thinking of this, Yang Zijing took a deep breath, got up and brewed a pot of Blood Tree Crimson Robe, a unique ingredient from the Monster Realm, for Su Luo, and presented it to him.
Drink up, drink up, you'll drink yourself to death!
Looking at Yang Zijing, whose emotions were written all over her face, Su Luo wondered what the Spark Society was thinking, sending someone like this as an assassin? Weren't they just telling everyone that he was the assassin?
Even now, there isn't a single person to meet them. Perhaps the Spark Society isn't as clean as Yang Zijing thought it was.
That night, the City Lord of Lanshan appeared before Su Luo with a somewhat tired face, followed by a group of strange creatures. The ones in front were holding some book pages with their heads down, while the ones behind were carrying things covered with red silk, like cages, the contents of which were unknown.
When Lan Shan entered the palace and looked up to see Yang Zijin, she was slightly taken aback.
"Is this your...?"
"Pet lover".
Su Luo spoke calmly and fluently, making Yang Zijing almost drop the vase she was wiping.
Upon hearing this, Lan Shan glanced at Yang Zijin and then at Su Luo. She had to admit that this pet was exceptional in every way, both in appearance and physique. It would be in high demand and short supply outside, and it would be impossible to buy it. No wonder the law enforcement officer was dismissive of her banquet.
So, since top-of-the-line configurations already exist, who would bother with alternatives?
As expected of the Su family's law enforcement officer, this is truly a grand gesture.
Thinking of this, Lan Shan glanced at the things she had ordered Gui to carry up behind her and sighed inwardly.
Feeling herself being slowly scrutinized from head to toe by the City Lord of Lanshan, Yang Zijin felt as if the monster had pulled off her clothes, truly like a pet being appraised by the monster.
This feeling sent a chill down his spine.
“These are the recent records of Yecheng. I know why you came here, and I have brought these things for you.” As Lanshan spoke, the strange creatures behind her immediately understood and stepped forward to place the items in front of Su Luo, their heads lowered, not daring to look at Su Luo at all.
Looking at the ledgers, entry and exit records, and the distribution of secret passages in nearby counties and towns, as well as the records in various open free trade markets... it seems that the law enforcement officer who was supposed to come to Yecheng has come to check the accounts.
"Hmm." Su Luo nodded, not expressing much of her own thoughts, nor showing any inclination to keep Lan Shan around. Seeing this, Lan Shan smiled obsequiously, then clapped her hands, signaling the few strange creatures behind her to carry in those things covered in red silk that looked like cages.
Looking at the things being carried in, Su Luo frowned and coldly reminded her, "City Lord Lanshan, there are still two days left. Remember what you said."
"Of course," Lan Shan bowed respectfully. "We will naturally give Lord Su a satisfactory explanation."
"As the night deepens and the dew grows heavy, I will not disturb Lord Su's rest."
"These are some local specialty desserts from Yecheng, which are very effective in helping you sleep." As she spoke, Lanshan smiled, lowered her head, and quickly left, even thoughtfully closing the palace door for Su Luo.
Su Luo: ...
At this time, with this conversation, I have a feeling that something bad is brewing beneath that red silk.
Before Su Luo could speak, Yang Zijin put the vase back in its place, hurriedly took three steps at a time to the red silk, took a deep breath, and pulled it down forcefully.
As dazzling crimson ribbons romantically fall, carrying fresh lilies and rose petals, they set off the young men and women dressed in various silk and gauze garments beneath the ribbons, creating a striking visual impact.
As the red silk ribbon fell in front of them, the humanoid boys and girls in the cage looked at Su Luo with tender affection, some even trying to show off their superior looks in order to attract Su Luo's attention.
They have completely lost their individuality and truly become like pets, waiting to be chosen by their owners.
Not only that, but the cages containing these pets were also equipped with a lot of strange things, some of which Su Luo couldn't even name. They were all new and must have been specially prepared to please her!
No wonder Lan Shan was so concerned about Yang Zijin's presence just now; she probably felt that Yang Zijin was blocking her path to promotion.
Su Luo: That's pretty fancy!
