Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!
Chapter 437 The Imperial Court's Attempts to Win Him Over
To be honest, Jiang Xue is quite good-looking.
She was voluptuous, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Her long legs were encased in dark gold armor, and she stood upright like a spear.
Her features were exquisite, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp and aloof, and her skin was so white it shone.
Moreover, he was very tall, a full two meters, even taller than Lin Mo.
When she stood at the front of the line, her aura was so overwhelming that it made everyone around her pale in comparison.
It's hard not to feel a sense of conquest with such a configuration.
Lin Mo got up, put the ferocious beast's corpse on the ground into his spatial storage, and walked out of the tent.
Where are you going?
Mu Qingxue opened her eyes in confusion. The black lotus petals circled around her body before slowly closing.
"Jiang Xue called me."
"I'll go with you!"
Mu Qingxue subconsciously got up. It was the middle of the night, and she was worried about a man and a woman alone together.
"No need, let me see what she's up to."
"Alright... then! Be careful, and don't you dare mess around!"
Mu Qingxue's eyes held a threatening tone.
Don't worry!
Lin Mo said as he left the tent.
Upon arriving at Jiang Xue's tent, the guards kindly opened the door for Lin Mo.
A dim oil lamp was lit inside the tent, its light falling on the armor racks around it, casting half-light and half-shadow on the outlines of the swords and armor.
Jiang Xue sat upright in the main seat, still wearing a dark gold battle armor, the runes on the armor plates gleaming faintly under the light.
When she saw Lin Mo come in, she pointed to the chair next to her:
"sit."
"No need for a seat. General Jiang, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"
As Lin Mo spoke, he began to scrutinize her stunning figure.
Her armor was tightly fitted at the waist, clearly outlining the proportions of her waist and hips, and the armor plates at her chest were stretched into a full curve.
As she sat there, her long legs were crossed and placed diagonally, the tips of her boots almost touching the edge of the felt blanket in the center of the tent.
A thought arose in Lin Mo's mind:
With her figure and proportions, it seems like she can't fit into any of the battle robes in her own space.
The garter stockings probably turned into over-the-knee socks on her.
Slightly flushed by Lin Mo's aggressive gaze, Jiang Xue coughed lightly and got straight to the point:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, would you be interested in joining the imperial court?"
"Join the imperial court?"
What does that mean?
"They joined the army just like me."
To be honest, Fellow Daoist Lin's ability to control ferocious beasts is very useful to the imperial court. If you agree, I will apply for you to have the same rank as me.
"Official positions are just empty shells for me."
Let's get practical. If it's suitable, I can consider it.
Cooperating with the imperial court is not a bad idea, and it won't harm Lin Mo either.
The Empress controls the entire Women's Kingdom, and the court's resources, intelligence, and connections are readily available, which also greatly enhances her safety.
"What conditions do you want? I'll apply to the higher-ups."
Lin Mo thought about it and realized that apart from the alien insect, there really wasn't anything else he wanted.
Cultivation resources?
He possesses the Star-Absorbing Technique, allowing him to absorb even ferocious beasts.
Gongfa?
This is definitely something worth learning.
If an official position could be given to him, making him the most powerful minister in the court, that wouldn't be so bad!
But Lin Mo knew that this was definitely unrealistic. He was only at the peak of the God King realm, and it was obviously unrealistic for him to want the official position of a high-ranking official.
"Ten alien insects, I suppose."
Lin Mo casually offered a price.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Jiang Xue's lips twitched.
How dare you speak so boldly! Even the mighty General Feng Wu, second only to the Emperor, has only received a handful of divine insect rewards in the tens of thousands of years since joining the army at eighteen.
Lin Mo asked for ten right off the bat?
The imperial court would certainly not agree to this condition.
The alien insects are a strategic resource of the Women's Kingdom. Each one is registered and managed and distributed by the Empress herself.
She herself, the vanguard commander of the Zhenbei Army, only had one alien insect, which was only given to her after she had performed three great feats.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, your asking price..."
Isn't it a bit too high?
"Is it high? I think it's quite reasonable."
"The imperial court could not possibly agree to ten."
Even if Her Majesty the Empress were willing to give it, the ministers in the court would not agree.
The allocation of the alien insects is subject to strict rules. Each one must go through court deliberation, review, and public announcement, a process that takes at least six months.
Moreover, ten is no longer within the scope of a reward; that's the standard for enfeoffing feudal lords.
"How much can you apply for?"
Jiang Xue paused for a moment, then held up one finger to indicate a number:
"At most one."
If Fellow Daoist Lin agrees, I can give it a try.
"I still have some influence in the military; the application for a supernatural insect should be approved."
"One?"
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.
"General Jiang, you're being too stingy."
"My abilities are incredibly powerful against ferocious beasts, and you only give me one when I work for you?"
"Fellow Daoist Lin, that's not how you calculate things."
Jiang Xue's tone became more serious.
"You are a citizen of the Women's Kingdom, and you have an obligation to assist the court in subduing the ferocious beast!"
Moreover, you took all the corpses of the ferocious beasts that were cleared out, and I didn't say anything. Under normal circumstances, the corpses of these ferocious beasts would be zeroed out by the logistics team and disposed of in a unified manner.
All of this adds up to a considerable sum.
"Giving you one more alien insect is the best I can manage."
Looking at her serious face, Lin Mo thought for a moment and decided that one was better than none.
Let's get the benefits first!
Moreover, joining the imperial court does not mean that you can be bossed around; they can still demand higher prices next time!
Thinking of this, Lin Mo nodded:
"Okay."
Just one. But I have one condition.
"you say."
"I'll choose the type of alien insect myself."
Jiang Xue glanced at him, seemingly weighing the weight of this condition.
After a moment she nodded:
"Sure. But after you make your selection, you'll need to apply to the quartermaster department. Whether they approve it or not is beyond my control!"
"Alright, it's settled then."
Lin Mo stepped forward and showed off his belly:
"General Jiang, you've helped me so much, how about I repay you?"
Jiang Xue glanced at Lin Mo's assets subconsciously and swallowed hard.
Her gaze quickly shifted away, and an unnatural flush rose to her cheeks, starting from her ears.
She clenched her fist, her nails digging into her palm, suppressing the surging thought.
I was injured today, and the imperial court may send me on another mission in a few days. It's more important to recover from my injuries.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. I'm not feeling well today, let's do it another day."
"Physical inconvenience..."
"Then let's do it another day."
Lin Mo's lips twitched, feeling somewhat disappointed.
He turned and left the tent, the curtain hanging behind him.
Once outside the tent, Lin Mo's eyes searched the camp for prey.
Night had fallen, and most of the tents had been extinguished, with only the torches of the patrolling female soldiers moving slowly in various places.
He had experienced both the Cihang Sect and the Hundred Flowers Valley.
"That seems to be the Path of Bliss."
Lin Mo looked at a tent that wasn't far away.
The tent was larger than the surrounding ones, with a dark red flame pattern embroidered on the top. A small flag with the word "Paradise" written on it was stuck in front of the tent.
The tent was still lit, and a figure could be vaguely seen meditating.
Lin Mo slowly walked over.
He lifted the curtain and slipped inside.
Several red candles were lit inside the tent, casting an ambiguous and soft light.
Lie Yun, the master of the Blissful Path, sat cross-legged on a futon, his hands forming a mudra, with faint flames slowly rotating around him.
She wore a dark red long dress, the hem of which draped over her sides like a blooming flower.
Her hair was also dark red, long and cascading over her shoulders, with slightly curled ends that gleamed with a metallic sheen in the candlelight.
Her face was extremely beautiful, with features even more striking than those of Master Cihang. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like black lacquer, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were full and red.
Her skin was a Caucasian color, glowing with a warm sheen in the light of the red candle.
She was tall and voluptuous, and the neckline of her long dress was lower than that of ordinary cultivators, revealing a section of her slender neck and delicate collarbone.
He sat there like a flame that had been gathered up, quiet yet exuding a fiery intensity that could explode at any moment.
