Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

Chapter 70 Maybe we should kowtow a few times?

With a whoosh, a teacup appeared out of nowhere.

Sitting in the dangerous room, looking at the female corpse in front of him with a hole in her neck, he calmly sipped his tea. This scene can only be described in three words.

Good taste.

"What Eunuch Li said is reasonable, both in terms of his motives and his thoughts."

"Senior Sister has a very high status, which is evident from what others have said. Even Su Su, a master of the same realm, was suppressed and beaten by her, even when she was injured."

"In the entire southern part of Vietnam, she is the pillar of stability. With her around, there is no need to worry about the safety of Jingnan. She can also deter the surrounding enemy countries. This value cannot be measured by money and benefits."

,

"As long as she is there, even if she is not in Jingnan, but in another place in Da Yue as a court official, everyone around her who has ideas about Da Yue must think carefully."

""

"Because my senior sister represents more than just herself."

""

"And the Sword Sect."

For example, imagine a top salesperson complaining about their health, feeling disheartened, and planning to resign and go back to their hometown to recuperate. This would give the boss a heart attack on the spot, because almost all of the company's profits depend on this top salesperson.

It wasn't exactly a breakdown on the spot, but it was definitely a serious blow. The boss was so scared that he quickly offered all sorts of conditions, such as reimbursing medical expenses and giving the top salesperson paid leave and time off, just hoping that the person wouldn't just pack up and leave.

The person sitting in the inspection room sipping tea is that business partner.

Dayue and Yaoyu are two companies, but their status and strength are not equal. Yaoyu rules over the entire demon race and demon beasts, making it a genuine top-tier enterprise. Dayue, on the other hand, has fallen on hard times and is merely one of the more powerful human nations.

Logically speaking, neither party is qualified to conduct a direct transaction.

As for why the two parties were able to reach a cooperative relationship, it was basically because of the "top salesperson's" influence.

Ji Xiaoxiao.

She is one of the top experts in the entire Great Yue, and she enjoys absolute authority within the Sword Sect. It is because of her existence that both sides have the right to be on equal footing.

They were very wary of this top salesperson, worried that her abilities were too strong and she would steal customers, so they were on guard at every turn. Even when she was sick, they sent someone to visit her to see if she was faking it.

The problem is...

They didn't want Ji Xiaoxiao to break through and become the number one cultivator, but they also didn't want her to truly fall into despair. The reason was simple.

After Ji Xiaoxiao left, who will fight the extraterrestrial demons?

Not to mention anything far back, just look at Shen Zangyuan, who was recently besieged by many experts. To this day, no one has found his body or even his inheritance. Who knows when he will climb up?

Or what if a few more extraterrestrial monsters sneak in?

Let's not talk about things too far back. To put it more closely, besides the Demon Realm, there are several small countries bordering Jingnan. There are ghost cultivators, evil cultivators, and even Gu-refining masters from Miao territory. It can be said that all the demons and monsters in the south are concentrated within a few hundred miles of this area.

Once she leaves, who can keep these monsters in check?

The value of the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle".

With Ji Xiaoxiao around, even if she were injured or crippled, or even just barely clinging to life, the entire Jingnan region and the surrounding countries and forces would behave themselves and wouldn't dare to have any wicked thoughts.

With nothing better to do, Susu started fiddling around, looking here and tapping there, and somehow she even unearthed the corpse oil.

"That's corpse oil! Not lard! You, you—no offense intended, please forgive me."

He quickly bowed to the corpse, and seeing that the woman had already started fiddling with her tools for mending the body, Lu Cheng was so angry that he almost couldn't help but punch her a couple of times.

"Oh dear, I just saw that Young Master Lu was busy."

She casually tossed the tweezers and needle and thread to Lu Cheng, looking relaxed and carefree, but when she turned her head to look at Eunuch Li, her eyes instantly sharpened and her tone was full of questioning.

"Little Yingzi.

,

If anyone else dared to address him like that, Eunuch Li would probably have already rushed forward with his Heavenly Eunuch Guardian. As a veteran of three dynasties and a long-time protector of the royal family's interests, even the current Emperor of Da Yue treats this old man with exceptional respect, addressing him as an elder.

But faced with this young lady who was a generation older than him in both seniority and ability, he could only smile and endure the scolding.

"Your Dai Viet is getting worse with each generation."

"From the time when the ancestors of Da Yue pioneered the path of cultivation to the present day, every generation has lost territory. Only the previous generations of Yue Wuyou were somewhat humane, and at least they had a few outstanding masters during their reigns."

""

"Although we can't reach the eighth realm, the six seventh realm cultivators are capable of handling things on their own. In addition, he himself is at the peak of the seventh realm. It took him decades to carve out a tough nut from my demon realm. Our demon realm is not one to be afraid of losing. Over the years, we have never sent anyone to invade Jingnan."

"But what about now?"

"Even my home needs outsiders to guard it. I searched the entire capital but couldn't find a third person at the seventh level. So I had to send you to sound me out. Ha."

,

"If it weren't for this crazy woman's soft heart, agreeing to help you, Da Yue, to stay in Jingnan, Xiao Yingzi, you probably wouldn't even have the right to see me now."

Frightened.

Every word he uttered was a minefield, and even Lu Cheng couldn't help but take a few steps back, fearing that a fight between the two would affect him.

However, "I hope Miss Susu will be kind with her words."

""

A tacit default.

His face was full of bitter smiles. The key point was that Eunuch Li couldn't refute a single word. The only expert that the Great Yue royal family could send out was actually an old eunuch who had lived for two or three hundred years. This already said a lot.

When he was young, he had met Su Su more than once. At that time, the two countries were in a tense standoff and had many conflicts. Young Su Su had come here to train for a period of time.

At that time, Eunuch Li was at the fifth realm, while Su Su was just a demon general, only at the second realm.

Decades later, Eunuch Li came to Jingnan to stabilize the situation, and the two met again. That year, Susu had already become a Demon Lord, while Eunuch Li had only barely reached the sixth realm.

This is their third meeting. He has already ascended to the level of a demon immortal, a genius ranked among the top in the entire history of the demon race, yet Eunuch Li—

The words may be harsh, but they are all true.

"Your Great Yue is truly doomed. Any other great power would hold onto an eighth-level expert as if he fell from the sky, afraid of dropping him."

"You guys are really something else. You have a powerful enemy taking advantage of your weakness from the outside, and spies leaking secrets from within. You can smash such a great man to pieces even if he's sitting at home."

"It's one thing to fail in supervising subordinates, but to also accuse me of something is wrong. Even now, many subordinates in the Demon Realm still think that I'm the one who's going to—never mind."

It's clear that this incident has greatly angered Su. Think about it from another perspective: you were sitting at home cultivating your spiritual practice, enjoying a peaceful life, when suddenly you were bombarded by a neighboring country, and they tried to pin a accusation on you. The worst part is that your subordinates thought you were the one who initiated the war. Anyone would be completely bewildered in that situation.

"Why don't you kowtow to that crazy woman a few times?"

Startled, Lu Cheng's hand trembled, almost spilling the corpse oil. Those words were far too terrifying! Even a clay figure has some temper.

Please take a look.

With a wry smile, Eunuch Li removed his official hat, revealing a fresh bruise on his forehead from where he had just kowtowed.
