The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 161 Who are you?
The old man was no longer able to make any expression.

He thought he was a hero who was mediating between the two ferocious beasts and fighting for the survival of his people.

As a result, in the end, all his scheming ended up costing his beloved her life.

He spoke hoarsely.

"There is no means of self-protection."

"There are means to lead the way."

"Master Li, after I die, you can follow these fireflies and reach the 'Pupa Chamber'... I only hope that Master will spare my people for the sake of our lives."

Li Miao, however, had no intention of pitying him at all and snorted coldly.

"Let's put it this way. You great witches are the accomplices of the Ming Cult in making Gu soldiers. I never intended to spare your lives."

"Those who deserve to die will die, and those who don't deserve to die can live."

"Instead of begging me for mercy, you should think about whether there is anyone among your people who deserves to survive."

The old man's expression relaxed.

"Your Excellency's words... are enough."

"We don't let children under 13 years old come into contact with witchcraft... They don't know about these dirty things, and they can all survive."

"Thank you, sir."

Before he finished speaking, a difficult "gurgle" sound came from his throat.

Fell to the ground.

Li Miao watched him thrashing on the ground quietly, and gradually he stopped moving.

After a while, the old man's body raised his head and revealed a sinister smile.

"Master Li...you have lost your ears, can you please listen to what I have to say?"

"This thing of mine is not only useful to the emperor, but perhaps to you as well."

"Oh?"

The corpse grinned when it saw Li Miao stop.

"The Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man. My daughter has all three of them combined into one, but she doesn't have any of them."

"I can also give this method to you, my Lord."

Li Miao glanced at the corpse and said lightly.

"Tell me."

"Master Li, you must have seen the poisonous insect that can absorb and transfer realms on Mount Tai, right?"

The corpse laughed.

"My method can allow you to temporarily store your realm in someone else's body... and then take it back when you need it. In this way, not only will you not suffer from the five decays of the celestial beings, but you will also not have to sleep all day like the celestial beings stored in the court. You can roam freely on weekdays."

"Moreover, you can also take a poisonous insect containing 'Sumeru' and present it to the emperor. With the emperor's spirit and energy being full, the emperor's health will naturally improve, and Lord Li can rise to prominence with it."

"And I just want a small piece of Miao territory to live in. Isn't it worth it?"

The corpse appealed to the emperor's emotions and reason, and his tone was full of sincerity, as if he had really come with full sincerity.

No matter in terms of martial arts or official position, as long as one agrees to her request, one can rise rapidly.

If it were anyone else, they would probably nod and agree... or at least hesitate.

Li Miao sneered.

"It's still a cliché."

"Are you done? Wait for death."

After saying that, he was about to raise his hand.

"Master Li! What do you want? Whether it's power, martial arts, or beauty, as long as I help you, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Why do you have to make things difficult for me!?"

The corpse suddenly yelled.

But Li Miao didn't want to listen to her chatter anymore.

Official position? If Li Miao wanted to be promoted, he should have been the governor ten years ago. Why wait until today?

Martial arts? He also used the Miao King to help him avoid the five signs of decay?
Beauty? Is Li Miao inferior to this?
Moreover, if you are helped by witchcraft, you will be controlled by it. Li Miao is not a fool like Mei Qinghe, so how could he be fooled by the Miao King? Bang!
With a dull thud, the old man's head exploded.

Li Miao stepped over the corpse and continued forward, following the fireflies leading the way ahead.

--------

"What did you say!? What is the Miao King's name? "

Outside the building where Li Miao found the old man, Yongjie grabbed the collar of a great witch and asked anxiously.

"Ge Puqi..."

The great wizard replied weakly.

Although Li Miao did not kill them, the witches also suffered heavy injuries after fighting with him. After Li Miao took the old man and the three witches away, the remaining witches stayed where they were and used the poisonous insects to heal their wounds.

Yongjie and An Ziyang followed Li Miao's footprints and found this place.

The two of them claimed to be the Imperial Guards, so naturally these great witches did not dare to disobey their cooperation.

Yongjie asked about the whole story, and these great witches explained everything one by one.

Unexpectedly, when talking about the Miao King, An Ziyang casually asked: "What is the Miao King's maiden name?"

So the scene just now happened.

Yongjie suddenly let go, letting the witch fall to the ground, covering his neck and gasping for breath.

He took a few steps back, his breathing became heavy, his eyes turned red, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails pierced into his palms, and blood flowed.

An Ziyang watched from the side and thought to himself.

"Miao Queen... is Master Yongjie's wife? Is she Ling'er's mother?"

"Then, Ji Tianrui, who killed Master Xingchi, is Ling'er's half-sister?"

"Now, it's going to be lively."

Yongjie was already trembling all over at this time.

"How could it be, how could it be..."

He could never have imagined that his missing wife, Ling'er's mother, was actually the Miao King!
She is the mother of the murderer who killed his master!

He is one of the main culprits behind the witchcraft disaster in Tai'an City!

The love between husband and wife, and Ling'er...are they all conspiracies?
How should he handle himself?

Just when Yongjie was distracted, An Ziyang seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask the witch: "You just said that Ge Puqi was parasitized by the Miao King's poisonous insect, and then gradually became more and more like the Miao King, right?"

"So, how long does this process of 'becoming more and more alike' take? Will there be any setbacks in between? Will she have the memory of the Miao King, or will it just be that their personalities are becoming more and more alike?"

The Great Wizard thought for a moment and replied.

"We don't know much about the current Miao King, but it took the first Miao King three years to completely change his personality. The memories are still the same, but what is important to the Miao King will also be equally important to her; what the Miao King shouldn't care about, she will no longer care about."

"As for whether there will be a recurrence...we don't know that either."

An Ziyang nodded, touched his chin, turned around and walked to Yongjie.

"Master, please listen to me first."

“Things may not be what you think.”

"At the very least, if Madam Ling was the Miao King before she met you, then she would have no reason to leave Miao territory and inexplicably run to Huguang to give birth to Ling'er."

"Perhaps, the one who gave birth to Ling'er was Ge Puqi, and the one who gave birth to Ji Tianrui was King Miao."

"You should cheer up. After all, these Miao people only have one-sided stories. You have to see and confirm with your own eyes and mouth what the matter really is and what Madam Ling thinks."

"Lord Li should have gone to kill the Miao King. Let's set off quickly. We can't delay any longer!"

Yongjie looked up suddenly.

After a while, he clenched his fists.

"Thank you, Young Master An!"

"Yes, no matter what, I should see her in person and ask her in person before making a decision!"

"Let's set off now!"
