Chapter 87 87. I Treat You as a Brother
The scene was weird.
Zhao Jie looked at the princess solemnly, then glanced at Xia Feng. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
He felt that this moment was a bit ridiculous.
The prince is dead, and the princess has recognized this young boy as her master. Then what is Zhao Jie?
Do you want to find a new master?
Whoosh——
Before he could sort out his thoughts, a breaking sound was heard. He turned around and saw that the dead hands of the Shen'e Society and the thread had sunk into the depths of the forest and quickly disappeared.
“!!!”
Shit! Zhao Jie reacted suddenly and hurried to catch up. What a bullshit new master! I've already reached the fourth level. If the prince dies, the contract will be gone! If I don't run now, when will I run?
Zhao Jie also disappeared in a flash, leaving his subordinates looking at each other in bewilderment, and then their faces changed drastically.
"run!!"
However, having lost two fourth-tier fighters, they were unable to escape the Saint's encirclement and quickly gave up resistance and surrendered.
In the next few hours, the military took over Pingshan Hospital and found many experimental subjects who had been tortured beyond recognition from the underground prison, as well as Wei Shutong who had his legs cut off and was unconscious.
In the early morning of the next day, the Chief Executive of District 51 received a secret telegram from the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Holy Ministry and the Atrium Council.
All forces under the name of the Hydrangea Family, including but not limited to the Liuwei Society, were sealed and disbanded, 79 direct relatives were thoroughly investigated, a large amount of assets were frozen, 23 of them were secretly executed, 19 were exiled to southern Xinjiang, and the remaining 37 were taken to the first area of the courtyard for secret investigation.
The story of the Hydrangea Family colluding with a cult and betraying the interests of the empire came to an end, and no more aristocratic forces were involved.
"Princess, we have arrived at Hydrangea Manor—"
The middle-aged butler, dressed in an elegant tuxedo, opened the car door, bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
The classical European-style manor stands in the lush forest, with pale purple hydrangeas climbing all the way to the tall gate pillars engraved with strange patterns.
Xia Feng got out of the car and looked up at the ancient and mysterious manor in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
The last time I hurried here was to find Mu Qingtong to synchronize my strength. I didn't expect that in just one month, he would come to take over this manor.
"clatter--"
With her high heels touching the ground, Yue Hongli was wearing an elegant and luxurious Shenhuang long dress, a red gauze hat worn on the side of her black hair, and her left arm was wrapped around Xia Feng's arm. The two of them walked slowly into the manor.
Walk through the corridor and through the huge double doors with gold frames, you will arrive at the dazzling gilded hall.
Twenty maids of varying looks stood in two rows, bowed neatly, and said respectfully, "Princess."
After a pause, the head maid glanced at Xia Feng beside her, pursed her lips and winked at the maids.
"Mr. Xia, welcome home." They bowed again.
“.”
After the prince's death, although the Hydrangea family was liquidated and the property was turned over, the manor and the servants in the manor were safe and sound and were inherited by the princess.
In addition, there are a large number of properties that have not been confiscated, such as nine legal properties (manors, villas, etc.) in Districts 50, 41, 23, 2, and 1, all of which were inherited by the princess.
The princess is now a true wealthy widow.
Well, although the wealthy Hydrangea family is now dead in name only, her name as a widow is very famous in District 51.
After all, the explosive news of the prince's treason had already been all over the Internet, and a beautiful wife like her naturally received special attention.
It is well known that behind every successful widow there is a mysterious man.
Although the Holy Ministry blocked the course of events and the truth behind this incident, it still couldn't resist the rumors that spread all over the Internet. It said that right after the prince died, the princess seemed to have gotten involved with an 18-year-old student, which was extremely enviable and shameful!
After last night's battle, the Holy Ministry briefly questioned Xia Feng and the princess.
After the princess demonstrated her strange ability to become invisible and pass through walls, making herself untouchable by anyone, Chief Xuanwu personally extended an olive branch to Xia Feng, inviting him to join the Holy Department.
Xia Feng readily agreed.
After that, the Holy Ministry did not continue to ask about the princess's other abilities. The Xuanwu Bureau Chief just kindly asked him which position he would like to hold in the Holy Ministry.
Xia Feng said he wanted a 'normal' job where he could get a high salary without having to go to work or obey anyone's orders.
The Xuanwu Bureau Chief praised him for his freedom, unique ideas and unconventional style, and said that he would definitely be an excellent imperial spiritual master after graduation. Then he gladly agreed to Xia Feng's "reasonable" request.
From then on, Xia Feng, who was only a freshman, became a regular employee.
“Da da da—”
The sound of slippers stomping down the stairs could be heard, and at the same time Mushroom's cheerful voice called out, "Xia Feng, you're here!"
Everyone looked up and saw a girl with light green curly hair running down the stairs in teddy bear pajamas.
But just as she ran to the railing on the second floor and looked down at the hall below, the joy on her face suddenly froze and her pupils dilated slightly.
The princess's fair arms naturally passed through Xia Feng's arms, and her body pressed against him. The woman was graceful and charming, and the man was young and handsome. Such a well-matched scene came into the girl's eyes. The girl's stiff and cold eyes slowly raised and glared at Xia Feng fiercely.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, she turned around and quickly ran back upstairs, muttering "I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my father" through gritted teeth.
“Bang!!”
There was a loud bang of a door closing. Xia Feng turned around calmly and ordered, "Everyone, get busy."
"Yes, sir." The maid and the butler bowed.
The princess still looked up at the stairs, blinked, and then took a step forward to go upstairs.
"Where are you going?"
"Looking for my daughter."
"You really treat Mushroom like your daughter." Xia Feng was speechless and quickly pulled her aside. "Put your daughter's affairs aside for now and go somewhere with me."
The princess tilted her head: "Hmm?"
The use of the princess's abilities requires the storage of a large amount of evil energy in advance, so Xia Feng plans to take her to the Evil Dragon Space to verify some ideas.
