Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Outstanding person?

The woman glanced at Lu Pei and said, "Yes, he's still alive, and living quite comfortably. He even has the potential to jump onto the table again and become the focus of the world's attention. He's right here, and the death of your subordinate is very likely at his hands."

Lu Pei frowned: "Madam, could you elaborate?"

The woman nodded: "Of course. I don't know the cause of the cardiac arrest yet, nor do I know General Tianwang's methods. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I think I will know the truth soon."

……

……

Zuo Chang discovered that he didn't even need to lift a finger.

Once you find the right method, things become twice as efficient with half the effort. With your hands in your pockets, you can sit back and watch the matter be resolved.

The geological exploration was successfully launched.

Zuo Chang and the Holy Maiden of Time stood atop the stone Buddha, looking at the guardian of the house several kilometers away.

After a moment's sensing, the saintess asked, "Is this divine magic?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "Geological exploration technique, not bad. We can never break the geological exploration technique without destroying the stone Buddha beneath our feet; the key is that the geological exploration technique comes with a soft control, anyone 'standing on the ground' will be trapped in place and unable to move forward!"

"is it?"

The saintess remained calm and composed: "It doesn't seem like anything special."

That's true.

Like the True Bow, the Holy Maiden possesses extremely reliable dash abilities, rendering geomancy useless against her.

However, the old man guarding the house clearly did not have that ability.

Bamboo shoots, seemingly sentient, kept emerging from the ground and forcefully surrounded them!

The old man guarding the house was quite skilled; bright yellow clods of earth gathered on his body, preventing the bamboo shoot people's attacks from hitting him. When a punch came, the rock armor actively absorbed the damage.

Unfortunately, the art of geological exploration will never end until the stone Buddha is destroyed.

More and more stalagmites emerged from the ground, and gradually, the old man guarding the house became increasingly unable to keep up.

He shouted, "Mitsuru Ashiya! Do you really have to go this far?"

"You share the surname Lu, and so do I. Why should we... kill each other!"

Another moment passed...

"Brother Man! Isn't that enough?"

"Brother Man, I'm a petty person! Have you forgotten? We climbed trees together and studied together when we were kids. How could it come to this? How could it come to this!"

He's probably dying.

Ashiya Mitsuru stood to one side, pointing at the old man guarding the house, and said, "He was done for in less than ten minutes! Gentlemen, I want to clarify something—our Aloe clan's fighting strength is actually not that weak. It's just that the old man guarding the house is too old and his body has been weakened by wine and women, hence the condition."

"Understood, understood."

Zuo Chang nodded repeatedly.

The saintess frowned slightly and said, "The old man's signs of defeat are already showing. Let's send him to heaven. His shouting and yelling are too noisy."

Ashiya Mitsuru did not refuse: "It's not impossible."

He let out a long breath, and his body shimmered with golden light once more.

Immediately afterward, he clasped his hands together, and a deafening roar resounded, sending up flying stones and dust that firmly imprisoned the old man guarding the house!

Zuo Chang was no stranger to this tactic.

This is "Stubborn Stone Creates Life," which was also used for reeds before.

He turned his head and said, "Old sir, you are indeed skilled. I have seen this move used by your juniors before."

"Humph."

Ashiya Mitsuru snorted coldly, a smug look on his face: "I have been immersed in the divine arts of aloe for fifty years and have achieved quite a bit! Most of the divine arts used by the aloe clan now are from my hands! The creation of a stubborn rock is nothing."

From the stone sphere in the distance, a trickle of blood seeped out and dripped onto the ground.

Under the pressure of the stubborn rock's creation, the old man guarding the house soon collapsed and died.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery blurred and distorted. Sensing the unstable situation, the Saintess of Time subconsciously grasped Zuo Chang's hand: "It seems the dungeon is about to end."

The two of them appeared at the guesthouse.

Chen Xinshui, who was unconscious, also broke free and lay quietly on the floor.

Chapter 331 Mayumi’s Ambition

"General, congratulations on your victorious return!"

Fan Kou was the first to step forward.

With a broad smile, he added, "Truly, you are worthy of the title! Your strategic planning and victory are as effortless as taking candy from a baby!"

"..."

To be honest, this was the first time Zuo Chang had ever encountered such enthusiastic, proactive, and obsequious subordinates.

I feel a little embarrassed, more or less.

He waved his hand and said, "It's not difficult."

Zuo Chang checked Chen Xinshui's breathing and found that his body temperature had returned to normal, and he had recovered from the poisoning.

The reason he hasn't woken up yet is probably because of his injury, so I gave him a gentle and caring approach.

After finishing these tasks, Zuo Chang casually found a chair, sat down, and began to think.

same moment.

The god glanced at the true bow for a moment, then at the Saintess of Time, a rare mocking expression appearing on his face.

The moment she left the instance and returned to reality, the saintess noticed—

Is the girl in the red dress in the room Zuo Chang's "stepdaughter"?

A stepdaughter is not related by blood.

Therefore, we should be wary.

Because of her status, the saintess couldn't accurately grasp Mayumi's thoughts, but for Mayumi...

This saintess is clearly the enemy!

And they might be an enemy even more dangerous than Mother!

"Let's analyze this calmly, Mayumi. Now is the time to put our minds to work."

My family knows their own affairs.

The main reason why Mayumi did not launch a full-scale offensive and only dared to play it safe was because the resistance was too great.

The obstacle was her mother.

With such a formidable obstacle blocking the way, all of Makoto's attacks will be neutralized by "common sense." Blindly advancing due to "human relations" will only lead to utter ruin, leaving no room for maneuver.

Blood Rose is worthless.

That woman was known as "the epitome of bloodshed and torture," but in reality, she was nothing more than a kitten to be manipulated by Zuo Chang, obeying his every command.

and.

Yaotai Flying Bird acknowledged Blood Rose's achievements and contributions, and instead of regarding her as an enemy, she was happy to share them.

In this way, Zuo Chang's rear is secure, and even if Zhen Gong wanted to intervene, he would not find a foothold.

just now……

Has the situation changed?

The Holy Maiden of Time, the genuine wife of Zuo Chang. Her arrival could very well change the situation; once two tigers fight over food, the likes of monkeys and apes will have an opportunity to take advantage.

Thinking of this, Mayumi's beautiful eyes flashed, as if she were brewing some kind of conspiracy.

the other side.

The Holy Maiden of Time secretly sized up Mayumi, her heart filled with conflict: "Should I greet her? Alas, I regret that we met too late, allowing that Asuka to get there first. In this situation, I am the third party... I wonder how the General intends to handle my relationship with her."

Do you want to quit?

I can't log out.

At the time, everyone thought that Misato Asuka was dead, or had been missing for a long time.

Zuo Chang said this himself, and the church's investigation results also stated this: the saintess married Zuo Chang without knowing the truth, so what wrong did she commit?

Again.

Who could resist a man who would go to great lengths for himself based on a joke?

The Holy Maiden had long been determined to spend her life with Zuo Chang, and this determination could not be shaken by the slightest setback. Her only hope now was that things would not become too complicated.

If a fight breaks out, it will be neither dignified nor interesting.

Right now...

"what."

The saintess took a deep breath and decided to extend goodwill by greeting the stepdaughter.

"Eh--"

"what--"

Mayumi and the saintess spoke at the same time, and then stopped speaking at the same time.

The two women looked at each other and smiled. Mayumi asked, "Does the Holy Maiden have any instructions?"

"I... have no advice to give."

The saint nodded woodenly: "Your name is Mayumi, right? Hello."

"Ah, hello to you too."

Mayumi bowed gracefully and said, "Your Majesty is renowned. Everyone says you are one of the strongest people in the world, and your spacetime teleportation technique is even more amazing! It is truly an honor to meet you today."
