I'm starting to wonder if this goddess has something wrong with her head.
They actually handed over their life-saving secret weapon—it's a divine artifact!
However, they had to admit that it was the best solution!
The two said in unison, "I want the divine artifact!"
Lin Ru hadn't expected the divine artifact to be so alluring to these people. However, it was also because the artifact had been shrouded in mythical power, and it was said that once obtained, becoming the ruler of the world would be just around the corner!
The two people sent here aren't very bright!
Just as the two were about to make another move, another group of people walked over. These people were dressed in tight-fitting clothes and looked heroic!
As soon as he came over, he knelt down at Ji Wenzhuo's feet with great respect!
"Your subordinate is late! I beg the Second Young Master to punish me!"
Ji Wenzhuo looked at the women kneeling at his feet with disgust in his eyes, but he quickly showed his disgust and kindly helped the woman in the lead up.
"Aunt Liu! What are you saying?"
"We've arrived at just the right time, not too late."
"Get up quickly."
"We're all one family, so let's not be formal."
Liu Ru's face was full of guilt and anger!
"Second Young Master! A mysterious person with superb martial arts skills just blocked our way!"
"We've never seen that man's martial arts style before, and he left in this direction, which means this place isn't safe. We need to complete our mission as soon as possible, leave here, and head to Shanping County!"
Ji Wenzhuo was somewhat suspicious. What kind of powerful person could stand alone against so many of the elites he had selected?
But looking at the women's disheveled hair, fluctuating breaths, and even the knife marks on their clothes, they didn't seem to be lying!
Moreover, to prevent Lu Jingshuo and his group from having any backup plans, we must hurry up and take the artifact away!
It wouldn't be a bad idea to leave this goddess to Lu Jingshuo. After all, this woman looks very delicate, and I don't know what kind of luck she had to have a divine artifact by her side!
Even if we take this woman back, she will only fill the harem and will not be of any benefit to the Marquis of Zhenxi's great cause!
He knew that Lu Jingshuo thought the same way, which was why he wanted to seize the artifact!
However, he was now clearly in the upper hand, so he resumed his previous nonchalant and carefree demeanor, waving the fan loudly!
"Lu Jingshuo! We've known each other for so many years! Don't say I'm not loyal! Goddess, you can take her away! The divine artifact is ours! How about it!"
Looking at his wounded and dead followers, Lu Jingshuo wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the confidence to do so, so he could only agree to the request!
After all, bringing back a goddess is better than bringing back none!
"Okay! Let's do it this way!"
However, Liu Ru on the other side had a different opinion: "Second Young Master, although we have already gained the upper hand, we should take the goddess and the divine artifact back with us!"
"Your subordinate is willing to do his utmost!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingshuo and the others immediately became alert, gripping their knives tightly, ready to fight to the death!
Ji Wenzhuo was afraid of this. If it really came to a fight to the death, it would mean that the two sides had started a war. Moreover, giving the goddess to the people of the Kang King would also divert some of the attention of the other princes and nobles!
He closed the fan and made a gesture to Liu Ru that required no further explanation.
"Alright! Do as I say! In a little while, you'll silence all these troublesome people! Don't let them gossip!"
Liu Ru nodded silently.
On the other side, Lin Ru slowly took the artifact out of her spatial storage. Wu Ling and the others were already used to this situation!
But Ji Wenzhuo and Lu Jingshuo were seeing this situation for the first time and were almost questioning their existence!
It's completely incomprehensible how this goddess managed to pull such a large object out of a sleeve!
The cuffs aren't very big either!
Lin Ru looked at everyone with a smile!
"Alright! Now that you've all discussed it, it's my turn to speak."
"I'm willing to leave with you."
"But the condition is that everyone around me is released."
Ji Wenzhuo sneered, "That's just wishful thinking."
"Are we supposed to let them go and report back?"
"Don't think I don't know, many people are your followers now!"
"She's just a woman! What incredible luck she had to get to where she is today? She really thinks she's some kind of celestial being descended to earth."
Lu Jingshuo had always felt something was wrong, and only now did he realize what was wrong. This goddess could single-handedly fight against thousands of troops, and she had repelled hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Prince of Shun!
It's all thanks to this magical artifact in their hands, but why didn't they take it out earlier or later, instead of waiting until the two of them had discussed it before taking it out!
I have a feeling this goddess is plotting something!
This magical artifact can only be used once; it won't work the second time.
The thought of this possibility instantly made him feel at peace!
They weren't afraid of what this goddess might do!
"Goddess! You'd better come with us obediently."
“Your men can come with us to Changzhou!”
"It's just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks! Changzhou can afford it!"
Lin Ru gently stroked the spirit cannon in her hand, smiling casually!
"Ji Wenzhuo! You're quite the braggart! Do you really think you're more powerful than Prince Shun's thousands of troops?"
"I just didn't want my men to get hurt."
"That's why I agreed to your request."
"If you want to kill me to silence me, you'll have to ask this divine artifact in my hand if it agrees!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she deftly picked up the spirit cannon and aimed it at Ji Wenzhuo!
Ji Wenzhuo looked at the dark cave entrance and felt a little panicked for some reason. He did not believe that the Shun Prince's army could be defeated by this little girl in front of him and the strange thing in her hand!
Everyone knew that besides his brother, Qi Fang was also in charge that day!
But he wouldn't joke about his own life!
So he could only raise his hands and say with a grin, "Goddess! I was just joking! These are all your subordinates! How could I possibly do something so offensive to a goddess!"
Lin Ru listened to the voice in her mind constantly broadcasting the increasing hatred level, and looked at the smiling face in front of her! This feeling was extremely interesting!
She waved to Wu Ling and whispered a few words in his ear!
That's why he was allowed to leave with his men!
Wu Ling did not want to put Lin Ru in danger, and the matter she had just entrusted to him was also extremely important!
If this matter is handled well, she will never have to take this risk again!
