Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 303 A Childhood Friend Who Hated Evil

Xin'an Prefectural Governor's Office.

In terms of magnificence, it is far inferior to the Prime Minister's Residence in Jianye and Changsha, and in terms of size and specifications, it does not exceed the prescribed limits, but its gate, when opened, is like a giant mouth, making people feel awe.

The layout is even more illogical, with pavilions, terraces, and gardens arranged in a dazzling manner, completely disregarding aesthetics.

It was in this very place that Xiaoqing, who came to investigate, returned empty-handed.

A master craftsman has set up a feng shui array here, using yin energy as the array plate, yang jade as the array eye, and various strange objects as array gates, and has arranged all kinds of insidious restrictions.

If demons or cultivators were to force their way in, they would only damage their own fortune and suffer a greater loss than gain.

As for the maids and guards in the mansion, they became consumables, suffering from both qi and blood deficiency, trading their lifespan for health, and were basically replaced every year.

This is Jia Ning's style; as long as he's safe, everyone else is willing to sacrifice themselves.

Tonight, the prefectural governor is hosting a banquet for his guests.

Candles made of shark oil illuminated the hall as if it were daytime, while the humanoid creatures seated on the seats partially blocked the glaring light.

By the candlelight, one could see that the person was short and thin. His face appeared to have been burned, and his features were blurred and strangely distorted like wax.

His pupils peeked out red light from two slits, and his nostrils were just two black holes. He was draped in a long black cloak.

This is the King of Broken-Tailed Snakes, which dwells in the Xin'an River and calls himself the King of Bone Dissolving.

The old snake opened its mouth and uttered a hoarse sound.

"Lord Jia, how effective was the eye-opening ointment last time?"

Jia Ning felt a little disgusted when she saw the other party's forked tongue. It's not like they can't fully transform. It's really disgraceful for this demon to always act with such an appearance.

Of course, the product is still a good product, and it received high praise.

The ointment applied between the eyebrows and eyes did indeed improve her appearance, making my sister very happy. However, there are fewer and fewer girls whose birth dates match, so we don't have enough eyeballs to use for the ointment; we might need to collect some from other counties.

Everyone knows that Empress Jia is virtuous, and the court officials also only praise her virtue, including Emperor Jin.

The secret lies in the phrase "jealousy leads to few offspring, and ugliness results in a short, dark-skinned person."

If it weren't for the late emperor's words, this statement would have been erased long ago.

Therefore, Jia Nanfeng was obsessed and fanatical about changing her appearance.

Jia Ning initially became acquainted with the snake demon because he wanted to find some methods from the evil forces.

After all, those in power only care about how to solve problems, not the process.

"Then what about the ten boys and girls?"

The Bone-Melting King's request was still a headache.

Jia Ning didn't care whether it was ten or a hundred people; she just didn't want to cause a big commotion.

What they wanted were children with abundant vital energy and a strong spirit. Only wealthy and powerful families could afford such children.

Even someone as arrogant and domineering as him would find it troublesome in a short period of time.

Coincidentally, the people in Baitouwu had been cleared out for a trivial matter, leaving a temporary vacancy for a glove.

Some things are difficult to handle; he needs to think them over carefully.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, the Bone-Melting King couldn't help but feel displeased.

It helped Jia Ning do a lot of things.

The evil deeds they bear are countless, and some demons even say they have become the lackeys of humans.

Isn't it all about using human power to acquire resources?

This grand opening ceremony is to build momentum for a successful entry into Dongting Lake.

Even if Lord Yunzhong still doesn't show up, the little demon king who controls the ten main waterways of Dongting Lake is not someone to be trifled with.

Using young boys and girls as the main dish at a banquet is a high-level recruitment ceremony, concerning the transformation into a dragon, so naturally, as many methods as possible will be used.

"Lord Jia"

He was unhappy, and his aura became much more dangerous.

A red light shone in its eyes like a candle flame, and a chilling wind emanated from its tiny body, spreading a strong, fishy stench.

The sound of scales rubbing together emanated from beneath the black cloak, sending chills down one's spine. Sensing the threat, the lifespan of all the maids and guards in the prefectural governor's mansion was drained, and the unknown beast heads at the four corners of the hall seemed to come alive, looking at the Bone-Melting King, causing it to stiffen.

A force colder and more turbid than river water is surging. Something more dangerous than snake venom is brewing.

Then several monks emerged from the shadows and stood between the human and the demon.

The vengeful spirits entwined around the white bone Buddhist artifacts are visible to the naked eye, making them even more terrifying than monsters.

In the silent hall, Jia Ning calmly took a sip of hot wine and exclaimed, "Refreshing!"

Whether human or demon, they all need to be disciplined; do you really think they have no temper?

"The boys and girls will be ready in seven days."

"Go down."

These words were not only spoken to the monks, but also to the Bone-Melting King.

As he watched the other party turn into black mist and leave, all sorts of wicked thoughts raced through Jia Ning's mind.

This monster is incredibly useful when it's working, but it can also be quite troublesome when it's not.

But we still have to continue using it for now.

My sister has not yet given birth to a prince, and she is hoping to find a solution from the demons.

So he summoned Commandant Liu late at night and assigned him the task.

Although Baitouwu has been destroyed, it is possible that some remnants have remained.

the other side.

Xiaoqing also received a reply.

Once opened, it unlocks a unique reading comprehension feature.

In the letter, Xu Xuan expressed his satisfaction with Baoantang's actions and praised the tactic of taking advantage of the chaos.

He also said that taking on disciples was possible, but he would not teach cultivation methods for the time being; he could teach other things instead.

"He has good judgment. I, Xiaoqing, am also a monster who has thoroughly studied military strategy."

"But what else can Yingqi convey?"

After thinking about what I know, it seems like I don't know much.

This girl not only had a talent for swordsmanship, but she was also exceptionally intelligent in other aspects. After all, when she was that age, she was still catching mice.

Just as he was racking his brains, Li Yingqi brought in the food. Although it wasn't very fancy, it tasted pretty good.

kindness?
Xiaoqing sniffed and smelled the stench of blood.

"When I went out to buy groceries, I saw bad guys kidnapping young children, so I killed two of them."

The little girl calmly and composedly put down the food, her tone as if she were cutting two radishes instead of a person.

She has been able to distinguish between good and evil since she was a child.

My initial motivation for learning swordsmanship was simply enjoyment. The first time I touched it, I felt it was an extension of my hands and feet, and I had an urge to grasp it.

Later, it was for revenge. Although Cui Cui was rescued, she was missing a pair of eyes, and this hatred had to be settled with Jia Ning's head.

As for the status and value of the prefect and Cui Cui, they were not even in her consideration.

Even if Master Qing doesn't like it, she will still do it.

Swordsmanship can be neglected, but evil people cannot be spared; he is truly born with a strong sense of hatred for evil.

To everyone's surprise, Xiaoqing suddenly patted her head with a joyful expression and then said something.

"Was the crime scene cleaned up after the murder?"

what?
"I asked, 'Was the perpetrator's body disposed of? What about the bloodstains around the area and the witnesses?'"

what?
Li Yingqi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the master he was going to take on.

When questioned, she awkwardly recounted what had happened.
