As Jiu Feng's voice, filled with hurt and disbelief, fell, not only Jiang Si's body stiffened, but even Shu Xubai's body became so weak that it stiffened.
Their current posture, with their backs to the door, is as follows: Shu Xubai is holding Jiang Si and pressing her head against his chest. From the direction of the entrance to Jiufeng, Jiang Si's face is not visible at all; only her skirt, her legs, and her shoes can be seen.
"You're still hugging her! You're still hugging her!" Seeing that they wouldn't separate, Jiufeng stomped her foot, her voice trembling with tears, and said in a cute but fierce tone, "Shu Xubai, you're still hugging her! You won't let go of her! You big bad guy! You ignore me! You don't want me! I don't want you either! Humph!"
After Jiufeng finished humming and making a sound, she ran away.
Shu Xubai quickly loosened his grip and released the ginger shreds.
Jiang Si waved her hand dismissively, saying something sarcastic and cutting: "As the old saying goes, those who flaunt their love die quickly. Sure enough, Lao Bai, you're going to be heartbroken with me, hahaha!"
Shu Xubai spat at her directly: "Pah, you jinx! Can that shitty thing Agares compare to my little phoenix?"
"There's no comparison between the two at all. I'm telling you, you better stay invisible for me. I'm going to coax my little phoenix now. If I can't coax it, I'll bite you to death."
Faced with his sinister threat, Jiang Si took a breath and called out to him as he turned to leave, "Wait."
Shu Xubai glanced sideways, his two sharp fangs bared: "What?"
Jiang Si scratched her head and said, "Old Bai, don't you find this strange?"
Shu Xubai frowned: "What's strange?"
Jiang Si stared at the door that had been kicked open and was still swaying: "I boarded the spaceship with you while invisible. On this spaceship, only you know of my existence."
"And you came to see me this time, giving me your personal terminal, so you must have put Little Phoenix to sleep or something before you came. So here's the question: how did Little Phoenix know you were hiding someone, and how could it kick open this room door so accurately and without any reason?"
Shu Xubai's nerves tightened, and he blurted out, "You mean..."
Jiang Si smirked, her eyes filled with coldness: "It's not that I mean anything, it's that there's a ghost here, a ghost that wants me dead and wants you to suffer, lurking in the shadows!"
Shu Xubai paused for a moment, then said, “Hearing you say that reminds me that the energy storage on my ship broke down. Because of the breakdown, I had to recharge the energy halfway through the journey, which delayed my arrival at the capital planet of the Troia Empire by several days.”
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, intrigued: "Oh, if that's the case, then there's either a group of ghosts, or just one clever ghost that can turn invisible. Let's go!"
Shu Xubai: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Si crossed her arms and exclaimed, "Find Little Phoenix, catch the ghost!"
Shu Xubai said "Oh," and then quickly went invisible!
Jiang Si rolled her eyes at him, bumped into him, and walked forward. She disappeared when she reached the doorway.
Shu Xubai cursed Jiang Si's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind, and as he walked out, he didn't forget to call someone over to fix the door.
"Marshal Agares, you are a typical example of abusing your privilege to override the law and retaliate against the Council of Elders and the Council of Councilors." The oldest elder of the Council of Elders slammed his hand on the table, making a loud thud, and accused Agares, who was sitting at the head of the long table.
Agares, dressed in a black military uniform, leaned back in his chair with his long legs crossed and his hands folded on his knees. His eyes were deep and cold, and his words were rigid and ruthless, piercing straight to the heart: "Yes, I have used my privileges to place myself above laws, regulations, and systems. Elder Jin, if you have any objections, you can file a lawsuit with the Supreme People's Procuratorate."
"you……"
Agares raised his voice slightly, overshadowing the elders of the council: "I have summoned you here today not to inform you, but to notify you that the council of elders, the council of councils, and the nobles of the Troia Empire are officially abolished and dissolved today."
The members of the Elder Council and the Council of Representatives, who were sitting at the table, changed their expressions drastically upon hearing his words. They exchanged glances and began to accuse him, saying, "Marshal Agares, the Elder Council, the Council of Representatives, the nobility has existed for thousands of years. You think you can just abolish it or dissolve it like that? On what grounds?"
"Dissolving and abolishing the aristocracy is to shake the very foundation of the empire. Marshal Agares, do you want to plunge the empire into turmoil?"
"Marshal Agares, since ancient times, commoners have been commoners and nobles have been nobles. The empire has always been governed by four parties. Now you want to abolish the Council of Elders, the Council of Councilors, and the nobility. What, do you want to become the only one in power and rebel against His Majesty?"
"Marshal Agares, as the commander-in-chief of the military, you have no right to abolish the Council of Elders, the Council of Councilors, and the nobility. We will not agree to it either, so give up on that idea."
"Marshal Agares, you have no right to abolish the aristocracy, much less the right to dissolve the Council of Councilors and the Council of Elders. I have recorded what you said today, and I will report it to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office so that they can prosecute you for abusing your privileges and committing blasphemy!"
Agares slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at them: "Have you all finished talking?"
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. They felt a powerful, oppressive, and overwhelming spiritual force enveloping them, making them gasp for breath, break out in a cold sweat, and unable to utter a single word.
Agares waited a moment, then slowly opened his mouth: "Since you are all silent, it seems you have finished speaking. Since you have finished speaking, I will answer your questions."
“Abolish the aristocracy, dissolve the council, and if the council of elders is caught in national turmoil, it doesn’t matter. No matter how powerful the Trojan people are, they can’t be more ferocious than the Zerg.”
"If I can suppress the Zerg, I can suppress the citizens of the Troia Empire who are trying to cause trouble, which means you lot."
"However, I believe that you are just talking big. I don't need to explain how afraid you are of death. Furthermore, as I said, I abolished the aristocracy and dissolved the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders did not inform you, but rather notified you."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, at the same time as dissolving the Council of Elders and the Council of Conferences, all the ancestral properties passed down by your ancestors, such as planets and mining planets, will be yours if they have been passed down within the last 200 years. Anything passed down beyond the last 200 years will be confiscated!"
As Agares finished speaking, he withdrew the mental energy that had been suppressing them.
The crowd, now free from the suppression of their mental energy, were less arrogant than before, but not weak either. "Marshal Agares, what do you mean by confiscation? This is outright robbery!"
"Marshal Agares, you said you would abolish the aristocracy, but the royal family is the greatest and most elite aristocracy. Why don't you abolish it yourself?"
"Yes, you are also a member of the royal family, you are also a nobleman, why don't you dismiss yourself, why don't you abolish yourself?"
Agares blinked his dark eyes slightly: "Yes, the royal family is the top nobility, and top nobility have rights that are above the legal system."
"you……"
Agares' deep voice was cool: "Gentlemen, you are the pillars of the nation. If you say another word now, I will change my mind. It's not things passed down from 200 years ago that need to be confiscated, but things from 50 years ago!"
No one dared to speak.
The Elders' Council and the Council of Elders have long been empty shells.
There are no capable members of parliament, and no elders with real power.
Their existence has long been meaningless.
You can fool ordinary people, but you can't fool His Majesty Agares at all.
Agares saw that everyone had shrunk back, so he slightly raised his hands, which were folded on his lap.
Moore led his men in.
Dozens of elders were taken away from the council chamber.
Immediately afterwards, the military posted an article online.
Today, one thing after another has happened on the StarNet website, and now another one has occurred.
Fans exclaimed: "My goodness! Today is truly a historic moment. The aristocracy has been abolished, and the Troia Empire no longer has any true nobles except for the royal family."
"Nobles are nothing! Look, the military issued a document saying that anything inherited by the Elder Council, the Council of Representatives, and nobles within the last 200 years belongs to them personally, but anything inherited beyond that will be confiscated. Good heavens, what kind of plunder is this?"
"Oh, this isn't plunder, it's about narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor. Don't you know that 80% of the empire's wealth is in the hands of the nobles?"
"Yes, yes, yes, 80% of the empire's wealth is in the hands of the nobles. Depriving the nobles of what they have inherited for more than 200 years is to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor."
"Oh my god, this is a golden opportunity! Friends, have you ever heard the proverb, 'If you stand in the right place at the right time, even a sow can fly'? Let's figure out how to get in the right place at the right time!"
"Sigh, forget about trends, I just want to know how Jiang Jiang is doing, whether she can do a live stream or make a video or something. My heart is still in my throat."
"Yes, yes, the more I read about Shu Xubai, the richest man in the Fourth Civilization, the more terrified I become. I always feel that Marshal Agares and General Bo Jichen are hiding something from us."
"Wait a minute, Marshal Agares hasn't posted anything about Jiang Jiang's baby yet."
"Yes, based on my imagination from writing jokes, novels, and columns, there is a type of person called the 'denies-to-the-death' type. This type of person might have killed his wife, but he won't admit it. This creates a self-deception, telling everyone and himself the illusion that his wife is alive and well."
"Oh my, it's that talkative lady upstairs again. Here, take the microphone and keep talking. I'm not a country bumpkin, I love listening too."
In the vast conference hall, only Agares remained. He activated the virtual projector, pulled out the virtual keyboard, and entered his wife's personal computer communication number. His fingers moved across the virtual keyboard, beginning to restore his wife's personal computer communication data...
The ship of the richest man in the Fourth Civilization, the Great Wizard, was the most advanced, luxurious, largest, and best-equipped ship in the Fourth Civilization. It was a super-large ship with smaller ships inside, as well as various fighter jets and all kinds of cannons.
Shu Xubai found Jiu Feng in a small ship. His eyes were red as he started up the ship, preparing to leave the large vessel.
Shu Xubai, fearless and decisive, blocked the front of the ship, spreading his arms and shouting, "Little Phoenix, listen to my explanation! Come down here and let me explain!"
Jiufeng pressed the megaphone: "Get out of here, get out of here, or I'll ram you with my ship. Get out of here right now."
Shu Xubai not only didn't get away, but stepped forward and pressed his body against the small ship: "I'm not leaving. Go ahead and drive, ram me. Anyway, you don't want me, so there's no point in me living. I might as well die."
Invisible Ginger Shreds: "!!!!"
This sounds like something outdated from a romance novel; it's so cheesy!
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
The handsome, pale, and oily-faced uncle...
It doesn't matter if it's oily or not, as long as it works.
Moreover, according to Neptune's Law, you absolutely need oil!
Jiufeng screamed in anger, "Get out! Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you anymore! Get out!"
Shu Xubai said stupidly, "I won't leave, I won't leave, I just won't leave, I'd rather die than leave."
"you……"
"Ouch!" Shu Xu rolled his eyes, clutched his chest, and plopped down on the ground. "Little Phoenix, it hurts, it hurts so much!"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
That's an over-the-top acting performance.
Nine Phoenixes can be fooled...
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Wow, wow, the Neptune Law: when it's time to act like a dog, act like a dog; when it's time to die, use the self-inflicted injury trick.
I've failed to learn it, I've failed to learn it, I've failed to learn it.
From inside the small ship, Jiu Feng watched as he clutched his chest, backing away anxiously. With red eyes, she ran out of the ship, asking, "Bai Bai, what's wrong? Where does it hurt? Where does it hurt?"
Shameless Shu Xubai grabbed Jiu Feng, who was running towards him, and turned into a spoiled dog, saying, "It hurts, it hurts so much, my chest hurts so much."
Jiufeng hurriedly broke free from him, reaching out to press her hand against his chest, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why does your chest hurt?"
Shu Xubai reached out and pressed his hand down. "When Little Phoenix ignored me, my heart ached. Now that Little Phoenix is talking to me, my heart doesn't ache anymore!"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Damn it!
That's so damn greasy.
Did he just finish his training in the oil tank?
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Aquaman's classic scumbag quote: "My heart aches when you ignore me."
You must remember this well, you'll definitely need it when you become the Dragon King of the Sea.
Jiufeng knelt before him, saying, "You...you're a bad guy!"
Shu Xubai coaxed him as if it were free: "Yes, yes, I'm a bad guy, a big bad guy, I made our little phoenix angry, I deserve to be hit, little phoenix, you hit me."
Shu Xubai took Jiu Feng's hand and splashed it on his own face.
One slip, and there was a loud crack.
Jiufeng's hand struck his face with a crisp sound.
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
That was a great fight, a brilliant fight, absolutely fantastic! She wanted to join in too.
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Aquaman's classic move: slapping his own face with the hand of a fish from his pond, hurting both himself and the fish.
Waaah, I've learned another trick.
He will become the Sea Dragon King of the largest pond in the Abel Galaxy.
When Jiufeng hit him, his mouth was slightly open, and shock and heartache flashed in his eyes.
He quickly pulled his hand away and checked Shu Xubai's face: "Bai Bai, why did you hit yourself with my hand? Does it hurt? Does it hurt?"
Shu Xubai's skin was as thick as a city wall. He stretched it out in front of Jiu Feng and said, "It hurts, it hurts so much, but if you kiss me, it won't hurt anymore!"
Jiufeng was taken aback, then planted a kiss on his cheek: "Does it still hurt?"
Shu Xubai grimaced, looking like a silly goose: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all, thank you little phoenix, thank you little phoenix."
He even went to mooch off them while he was talking.
Jiufeng, however, pressed her head against his, preventing him from rubbing against her, and said angrily, "You won't form a blood pact with me, and you have someone else. I won't let you rub against me."
Shu Xubai cried out that he was wronged: "There is no one else, there is no one else, only Little Phoenix, only Little Phoenix."
Jiufeng's eyes widened: "I saw it all, you still want to lie to me!"
Shu Xubai reached out and hugged him, biting his ear.
Jiufeng froze, and redness spread from her ears to her neck and cheeks.
After biting his ear, Shu Xubai whispered in his ear, "There was no one else but Little Phoenix. The person just now was Jiang Si."
Jiufeng's eyes widened, and she shoved Shu Xubai away: "Who..."
Shu Xubai reached out and covered his mouth, telling him to be quiet, when a loud bang came from the empty space to his left.
Shu Xubai pulled Jiufeng into his arms, his sharp gaze fixed on Jiufeng's left. Then, a red willow branch shot up from the ground and flew directly to Jiufeng's left.
Another loud crash, and crimson blood appeared on the ground, spreading and running.
Jiang Si followed stealthily.
That invisible person ran incredibly fast.
And as he ran, the bloodstains disappeared.
With the bloodstains gone, Jiang Si stopped and began searching. Suddenly, a sword appeared out of thin air, pointing at her stomach. Then Jiang Jiang appeared, innocently asking with a smile, "Mommy, do you think if I stab you like this, will I cut you open and let you see your little brothers and sisters sooner?"
