Chapter 87 – Career Curry’s Great Righteousness! (4.2k)

Taotie was having a hard time being a chaperone.

After Zhao Yi came out of the secret realm, it was as if his body had opened a layer of shackles, and his physique began to improve dramatically again.

At the end of the day, even Miaoyin Realist and Zuo Xiaoluo weren’t sure to what extent Zhao Yi’s physique was strong, but one thing was certain, it definitely exceeded the boundary of the eighth rank.

Although Miaoyin Zhengrong and Zuo Xiaoluo were highly talented, they were too young after all, and an eighth-order Sacred Realm in their early twenties was already considered astounding.

Zhao Yi’s physique exceeded the boundary of the eighth rank, and it was also beyond the scope of the two women’s perceptions.

According to Zhao Yi’s thoughts, it would be best to have the Ninth Order Saint King Realm from the Xuan Zhen Guan and the Sovereign’s Mansion come over to check it out.

However, as soon as Zhao Yi raised this idea, it was immediately vetoed by both Miaoyin Makoto and Zuo Xiaoluo at the same time.

The news that Zhao Yi’s physique could help the Zhao Clan’s children dissipate their power couldn’t be hidden for long.

The reason why the Zhao Clan had been able to steadily sit on the throne for a thousand years, aside from the overbearing and overwhelming Dragon Divine Skill, there was another more important reason, and that was that the Zhao Clan’s royal family was generally short-lived.

There were only so many resources in the Immortal Cultivation World, and with the Zhao Clan monopolizing eight points of the world’s resources by virtue of the Dragon Divine Skill, and the rest of the Immortal Cultivation Clans snatching the remaining two points of resources, the days were already tight.

If the Zhao Clan’s children lived even longer, they would inevitably have to consume even more resources, and the days of the other clans would be even more difficult.

It was a matter of life and death, so those clans would definitely have to fight to the death even if they were afraid of the power of the Zhao Clan’s Imperial Clan’s Dragon God Skill.

After all, even if the Zhao Clan was powerful, they were still human beings and not gods, and it was impossible for them to kill all the Immortal Cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World!
Therefore, in order to contain the Zhao Clan, the people of the Immortal Cultivation World would definitely find a way to assassinate Zhao Yi.

As the saying goes, there’s only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to prevent a thief.

Even lions have their moments of napping.

Even if the guards around Zhao Yi were more strict, facing the eye of the entire Immortal Cultivation World, there would inevitably be times when they were too close.

Therefore, Miaoyin Zhenren thought that the less people knew about Zhao Yi’s change in physique, the better, and she was even prepared to go to Yao to kill Linglong to silence her.

In the end, it was Zuo Xiaoluo who stopped her.

Zuo Xiaoluo was well versed in the art of war and knew the way of reality and falsehood.

Zhao Yi’s reputation in the Immortal Cultivation World was that he was a super wastrel, and over the years, this impression had been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and it wasn’t something that Linglong could change with a single word.

Especially Yao was skilled in calculations and was still Zhao’s vassal.

The other clans were usually wary of them, and when Linglong said something that defied common sense like this, the first reaction of the other clans wasn’t how powerful Zhao Yi was, but that the Yao Clan was fraudulent!

But assassinating Linglong was different.

Linglong was known as the “female phoenix” of the Yao Clan, and the Yao Clan had high expectations for her, counting on her to take the Yao Clan to the top.

If Zhao Yi sends someone to kill her, it will surely anger Yao clan, even if Yao clan doesn’t dare to turn against Zhao clan, it will surely centrifugal from now on.

When the other clans saw Linglong being killed, they would definitely carefully consider what she had said during her lifetime, and this would instead make things worse.

Zuo Xiaoluo’s meaning is that instead of not having to hide it in front of Linglong, he wants Zhao Yi to keep showing how powerful he is.

The more Linglong went back to emphasize Zhao Yi’s abnormality in the Immortal Cultivation World, the more it would arouse the suspicion of other sects.

If Linglong didn’t say anything, the other Immortal Cultivation clans would go back and blame the Yao Clan if they suffered a loss on Zhao Yi.

If the Yao Clan was ostracized by the Immortal Cultivation Sect, they would have no choice but to rely on Zhao Clan even more.

This was the plan of the yang conspiracy.

Linglong was already in the game, and no matter how she chose, it would be hard for her to escape the fate of a pawn.

It was just that this plan was a bit costly, and Taotie would ask for extra food every time after she had served Zhao Yi as a sandbag.

In order to satisfy this big appetite king, the daily food expenses of the Crown Prince’s residence had to be increased by several hundred taels of gold.

Luckily, Zhao Yi has money, if it was anyone else, he would not be able to afford such an outrageous expense.

Even with Zhao Yi’s strong financial resources, according to the calculation of 100 gold per day, he can only fight Taotie for another 10,000 years at most.

After 10,000 years, he would also be bankrupt.

From this aspect, Taotie was indeed a veritable gold swallowing beast.

But it couldn’t be helped.

Linglong was only very smart in her mind, her cultivation qualifications could only be considered average, and she couldn’t understand too profound a display.

Linglong had witnessed the scene where Zuo Xiaoluo chopped off the Taotie’s front claws and grew them back again, she was very clear about the Taotie’s power.

Therefore, it was Zhao Yi’s violent beating of the Taotie in front of Linglong that she felt the most intuitive and strongest.

On the other hand, since Zhao Yi’s power was too terrifying, other than Taotie, an ancient beast, there were few other things that could withstand his stormy blows.

And most of those things that could withstand it were expensive.

In short, it wasn’t that Zhao Yi didn’t have better options, but that Taotie was more cost-effective.

When Linglong arrived at the martial arts arena, she happened to see the scene of Taotie being crippled, and then the servants sending up a huge amount of fresh meat like a running stream.

Taotie was worthy of being the ancestor of food.

At first, only one mouth was left in good shape, and after eating a few pieces of meat, the broken bones healed, and the wounds on his body were invisible in the blink of an eye.

It looked up at the veal meat that was flowing over, its large eyes filled with excitement.

Although Zhao Yi was ruthless when he beat it, he was equally generous when he fed it.

The veal in the Prince’s mansion wasn’t the yellow cows and buffaloes raised by farmers outside, but rather, it was a spirit animal calf that specialized in eating spirit grass and spirit fruits in a certain secret realm.

Taotie ate the calf’s hind leg meat, so fresh it could swallow his tongue.

Taotie heard the servant say that there is another beast in the Prince’s mansion, the name is Bai Cang, Bai Cang eats the calf’s tenderloin of the spirit beast calf, the most fresh and tender part of the cow’s body, there are only two kilograms of tenderloin on a calf, and a kilogram of meat is worth one or two pieces of gold.

Taotie thinks that the calf’s hind leg meat is already the world’s top delicacy, how much more delicious the cow’s tenderloin should be, it simply does not dare to think!

At the same time it smacked its lips in its heart.

It had to be beaten so hard before it could have a cow’s hind leg to eat, how miserable must that white cang be to be able to eat the most supreme cow’s tenderloin ah!
Taotie was prepared to take on a higher challenge when he was a bit older and more resistant to beatings.

It also wanted to eat beef tenderloin!
While Taotie was eating, Zhao Yi led Linglong in the direction of the main hall.

Linglong had placed an invitation of worship on behalf of Yao, receiving her in the martial arts arena wasn’t formal enough, and it would be rumored that Yao wasn’t valued by the new emperor.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, going directly to the main hall was the best.

Taotie looked up at the crowd that was already far away, a trace of confusion suddenly appeared in his scarlet vertical pupil, and he murmured under his breath:
“Fa ……”

The next second.

Taotie shook his head, and a clear folly returned to his scarlet eyes.

“Fa? Fa what?”

Taotie was at a loss, clearly not knowing what had just happened.

It tilted its head for a moment and couldn’t figure it out, thinking that it had gotten into something dirty, and shook its head again in fear.

Then, it saw the veal piled up in front of it, and instantly became happy again, burying its head into the beef, happily gulping down the tender veal.

Even the knowledgeable Myriad Sound Realist didn’t expect that Su Shallow’s soul was so strong, obviously being devoured and transformed by the Taotie, but it still retained a trace of its residual soul.

If the male lead knew about this, he would have definitely fled the continent overnight, found an unpopulated place to hide, and never appeared for the rest of his life.

The human form of Su Shallow has already scared the male lead about to fly away, and now Su Shallow has turned into a Taotie, and the obsession is even deeper, only a trace of the remaining residual soul is still unforgettable to him.

The matter of Taotie having two consciousnesses after his reincarnation has never occurred in the Immortal Cultivation World, and no one knows what the future Taotie will become.

For the absolute majority of Immortal Cultivators, a mutated Taotie may be a novelty to add to the conversation after dinner.

But for the male lead, once that trace of Su Shallow’s residual soul grows, this ancient beast will most likely be subconsciously influenced to treat him as his lover.

Deeply loving the male lead Taotie might bring Zhao Yi a certain amount of trouble, but it would definitely become a horrible nightmare that the male lead would find indelible for a long time to come!
After all, Taotie was different from Su Shanshan.

Taotie was too hard to kill!
Linglong followed Zhao Yi around and was also talking about Taotie.

She fell half a body position behind Zhao Yi, which happened to be the position of a subordinate and a strategist.

Linglong inquired, ”Your Highness, my subordinate saw the House’s beasts in the city today, and the people of the capital seem to be very intimate with them. Taotie is an ancient divine beast that is truly auspicious, why doesn’t Your Highness display that Taotie to show off the glory of the Great Xia Dynasty?”

Zhao Yi shook his head, “The talk of auspiciousness is too much. It’s enough to have those beasts playing around in the capital, more is not beneficial. Moreover, the name of Taotie is imposed by the Chaotian Sect, and this beast was a vicious beast in the ancient times, which is unlucky to see. It is easy to change, but it is hard to change one’s nature! Therefore, in order to prevent this beast from breaking out and hurting people, I will keep it in my house as a pastime, which is not enough for outsiders to know.”

After Linglong heard this, she bowed and said, “What your highness said is very true, my subordinate’s knowledge is shallow, and I almost ruined your highness’s grand plan, please punish your highness.”

Zhao Yi heard this and waved his hand.

He looked Linglong up and down and nodded his head appreciatively, “Before in the monumental forest, I already knew that you were exceptionally intelligent, but I didn’t realize that you were the female phoenix of the Yao family.”

Speaking here, Zhao Yi paused for a moment and shook his head, “The title of female phoenix is not good, it gives people a feeling of being dependent on a man. In my humble opinion, I should call you a female Qilin! Kirin, the auspiciousness of the world, the pillars of the country is also! Although the Daxia dynasty is not limited to women as officials, but most of them are only assisting the queen to listen to the government of the auxiliary officials, there has never been a female prime minister, lone look at Linglong, I think you hope to take on this role!”

When Linglong heard this, she immediately stopped her steps and bowed down towards Zhao Yi.

“My humble servant thanks Your Highness for your great favor!”

Zhao Yi laughed a bit and raised his hand, “Flatten yourself. There are no outsiders in this room, you and I, ruler and minister, are still the same as before in the Monument Forest, just get along as friends.”

Linglong was instantly grateful.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Yao Qing’s attitude changed back and forth.

If Yao Qing was a woman pleasing herself, then Linglong was a scholar dying for a friend.

The first female prime minister since the beginning of time.

This is something Linglong never dared to dream of before.

Now it is within her reach.

Who can bear it!

Linglong trembled with excitement.

At this moment, Linglong directly threw the family head and clan out of sight.

Family interests? What was that?
Can the position of the family head, no matter how fragrant it is, be compared to the prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty?
Linglong’s heart and eyes are now filled with only her Majesty!
Doesn’t His Majesty want to pardon Chaotian Sect?

Who dares to stop it?
Whoever delays her majesty’s ascension to the throne is her mortal enemy.

Immortal or not!

It’s just a bit of a pity.

If I become Chancellor, then I can’t be a woman for His Majesty.

Although the Daxia royal family did not restrict the harem from interfering in politics, the power between the harem draping the curtain and the prime minister ruling the center was still too far apart!
Linglong was a career-oriented woman and quickly changed her mindset.

She couldn’t give up the entire forest of Daxia for the sake of His Majesty’s tree!

“Your Highness.”

Linglong’s role shifted quickly, her butt had just moved into position and she immediately began to admonish.

“I thought that Your Majesty must not take an easy stance on the matter of pardoning the Chaotian Sect.”

“For one thing, it’s easy to trigger dissatisfaction in the court, and secondly, it will cause the Immortal Cultivation World to be prepared in advance, thus strangling the remaining members of the Chaotian Sect in advance.”

“Even if it is not possible to completely eliminate the remaining members of the Chaotian Sect, those Immortal Cultivation Sects can make Your Highness’ pardon a joke by limiting the remaining members of the Chaotian Sect from being able to appear at the Immortal Cultivation Conference.”

Zhao Yi nodded slightly, “In your opinion, what should be done about it?”

Linglong had a good idea, “In my opinion, I can send a secret letter to make the head of the Yao Family go up to the imperial court and state this matter, Your Highness only needs to go along with it. For one thing, the sights of the court and the cultivation world will shift to the Yao Family Head; for another, even if the remaining members of the Chaotian Sect are unable to appear at the Immortal Cultivation Conference, Your Highness’s reputation will not be affected in any way.”

When Zhao Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn’t expect Linglong to be so ruthless as to sell even his own home family head when he said so!
He shook his head, “The Yao family has been loyal to my Zhao Clan, and I, Zhao, have remembered it all in my heart. Since the Yao family hasn’t neglected my Zhao family, then I, Zhao, have no reason to abandon the Yao family. Zhao is not an ungrateful person, for us to sit back and enjoy the benefits while letting Yao take the risks is not the way of a gentleman.”

Linglong froze for a moment, then respectfully bowed down, “Your Highness is highly righteous, Linglong is ashamed of herself.”

Zhao Yi waved his hand, signaling her to get up.

Zhao Yi smiled, “I have a matter here, originally there was no suitable candidate, since Linglong is here, then this matter will be handed over to you to handle.”

Linglong bowed and said, “Please descend at the behest of the palace.”

Zhao Yi said, “The former Crown Prince’s House, Su Shallow, colluded with the Chaotian Sect to confuse the dynasty, the Zong Ren’s Office has sent the nine clans of the Su Clan to the prison, and they will be beheaded in a matter of days! However, this matter is Su Changyuan self-reported, which has a lot of strange, you and go to probe a bit, ask Su Changyuan and Su Shanshan whether the previous behaviors have collusion. If Su Changyuan is the mastermind, he will be executed! If Su Changyuan has nothing to do with what Su Shanshan has planned, then pass on my decree to pardon him.”

Linglong was stunned again, obviously not expecting Zhao Yi to hand over this kind of private royal matter to her.

She was both touched and worried in her heart.

Touched that her great Majesty trusted her so much that family matters were left to her to handle!

Worried was that the Su Family’s nine clans had at least a few hundred people, and the lives and deaths of these people were all at her whim!
Linglong’s mood turned heavy as she carried so many lives on her back for the first time.

“The humble servant obeys the order!”

PS: Still a bit weak. But bosses don’t worry, although it’s a bit slow, it’s been writing! There’s more in the back.
