Joy of Life: Many Children, Many Blessings; Intercepting Si Lili

Si Lili stared blankly at Li Chengye as he withdrew his hand.

Such methods of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones are skills that ordinary people simply cannot possess.

Everything she had seen at the villa over the past few days flashed through her mind, and a bitter and mocking feeling welled up inside her.

All the self-proclaimed intelligent people in this capital city, including Chen Pingping of the Censorate, who was almost supernaturally wise, were all deceived by the man in front of them.

Who would have thought that the Third Prince, who frequented brothels and had a terrible reputation, was actually a terrifying being with unfathomable strength and unparalleled medical skills?

After the initial shock, Si Lili knew she couldn't stay there any longer.

Now that her injuries have completely healed, she has no reason to stay in this villa any longer.

More importantly, she was infiltrating the Qing Kingdom as a spy for the Northern Qi.

If they disappear from Zuixianju for too long, and the mad dogs of the Inspectorate follow the clues, it will definitely implicate a large number of spies lurking in Kyoto.

She stood up and straightened her disheveled clothes.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Li Chengye was less guarded and more filled with complex emotions.

It was a mixture of gratitude, awe, and deep reluctance.

She bowed gracefully to Li Chengye, lowering her beautiful figure considerably.

"Your Highness's life-saving grace is something I can never repay."

"However, Lili's identity is special. If she leaves for too long, it may attract the attention of the Overwatch Council and implicate His Highness."

"Today, Lili must go back."

Li Chengye stood still, without saying a word to stop him.

He knew that now was not the time to completely keep the canary in a cage.

Go ahead. Be careful in everything you do.

Hearing this simple instruction, Si Lili felt a warmth in her heart.

She bit her red lips and gave Li Chengye a deep look, as if she wanted to etch his face into her very bones.

Then, she stepped forward, her figure transforming into a purple butterfly, and gracefully leaped onto the wall.

With a few leaps, it disappeared into the vast night.

The courtyard returned to tranquility.

Li Chengye lowered his gaze and suddenly noticed a silk handkerchief lying quietly next to the stone bench where Si Lili had just sat.

The handkerchief was still stained with blood that had dripped from when the wound had reopened.

He stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the handkerchief.

Bringing it close to my nose and taking a gentle sniff, a captivating aroma, a blend of faint blood and the delicate fragrance of a virgin, fills my nostrils.

Li Chengye smiled and tucked the blood-stained handkerchief into his pocket.

After dealing with Si Lili's matter, Li Chengye remembered that the system had previously rewarded him with a maid.

He issued the command directly in his mind.

"System, extract rewards and summon the Bluebird."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent ripple suddenly appeared in the air in the center of the courtyard.

An extremely sharp aura suddenly descended.

With a flash of light, a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.

The newcomer was a woman, dressed in a tight-fitting blue martial arts robe.

The martial arts robe was cut extremely close to her body, perfectly outlining her impressive bust and slender waist, and highlighting her long, straight legs.

She exudes a cool and aloof aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Her features were so exquisite that even without makeup, she was enough to make countless women who considered themselves exceptionally beautiful feel ashamed of themselves.

But unlike Si Lili's captivating charm, this woman's beauty carried a sharp, heroic quality.

In particular, she was holding a long, silver-white spear upside down in her hand.

The spear tip gleamed coldly, as if it could tear space apart at any moment.

The long spear, paired with her stunningly beautiful face, created a visually striking and beautiful effect.

Li Chengye's eyes were sharp, and he instantly saw through the woman's true nature.

She stood there, her aura subtly harmonizing with the heavens and earth, and the sound of thunder was contained within her breath.

This is definitely a cultivation level of the upper ninth rank!

Moreover, the murderous aura emanating from her very bones proved that she was definitely a top-tier assassin who had fought her way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The bluebird knelt heavily on one knee on the bluestone slab, its spear firmly piercing the hard ground with a crisp, clean sound, revealing absolute loyalty.

"Your subordinate, the Bluebird, greets your master!"

Li Chengye stepped forward and helped her up.

Get up.

"From now on, put away your murderous aura and stay by my side as a maidservant who serves me closely."

Without any hesitation, the bluebird decisively lowered its head.

"Bluebird obeys! I swear to protect my master to the death!"

……

Kyoto, on the shore of an artificial lake deep within the Imperial Palace.

A gentle breeze rippled across the lake.

Emperor Qing was dressed in a loose white robe with the collar slightly open, and his black hair was casually draped over his shoulders.

He sat cross-legged on a large wooden couch, holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand, patiently fishing.

His expression appeared extremely languid, but deep within his eyes lay a domineering aura that seemed to encompass the world.

Chen Pingping sat in the specially made wheelchair, quietly parked behind and to the side of Emperor Qing.

His withered hands were tucked into his sleeves, as if he were asleep.

After a long silence, Emperor Qing suddenly moved his fishing rod. The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an oppressive aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.

"Pingping, I heard that the Censorate failed in its duties a few days ago, and someone sneaked into the outskirts of the city and let their prize slip away?"

Chen Pingping slowly opened her eyes and lowered her head slightly.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This old minister is still intensifying the investigation."

"That Northern Qi spy was extremely cunning. Not only did she lay down a sleeping powder, but more importantly, she had an accomplice."

Emperor Qing gave a cold laugh.

"An assistant?"

"Could those accomplices be grandmasters?"

Chen Pingping's expression was solemn as she pushed the wheelchair forward half a foot.

"Your Majesty, he was not a Grandmaster. But that man's archery skills were divine."

"According to reports, the enemy was hiding in the shadows and fired several arrows in quick succession."

"The force of each arrow was extremely violent, and the true energy contained in the arrow was almost tangible."

"Our men were forced to retreat repeatedly before they even saw the other side's face, and they couldn't get close at all."

"To save our lives, we have no choice but to retreat."

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Qing's hand holding the fishing rod suddenly paused.

The float on the lake trembled violently; a large fish had taken the bait, but he didn't lift the rod.

Emperor Qing was truly shocked.

He laid out an inescapable net, confident that all the ninth-rank masters in the world were under his surveillance and control.

He had heard of everything, from the Overwatch Council and the Four Grandmasters to the reclusive old monsters of various countries.

However, he had never heard of a master archer who could force a shadow back with sheer force.

Yan Xiaoyi, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, was also a ninth-rank archer, but Yan Xiaoyi's arrows were fast, accurate, and ruthless, and he absolutely did not possess this kind of domineering and unparalleled violent power.

Emperor Qing slowly stood up and casually tossed the fishing rod into the lake.

"There are still people in this world whom I do not know."

He squinted, watching the ripples on the lake, a sense of endless curiosity rising within him.

"Such terrifying archery skills, yet he conceals them..."

"Could it be that Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City has secretly cultivated some kind of monster again?"
