The saintess is pregnant, what does that have to do with me, a spoiled brat?

Li Wanning pushed open the door and entered.

"Xu Nuo, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she froze on the spot.

The room looked like it had been swept by a hurricane; tables and chairs were shattered into wood chips, and a thick layer of ash covered the floor. It was the residue left after more than a dozen boxes of top-grade medicinal herbs had been drained of their essence.

Xu Nuo sat on the bed, shirtless.

His muscles were clearly defined, not exaggerated, yet exuding an explosive sense of power. A faint shimmering light flashed across his skin, a manifestation of the true dragon's power surging through his meridians.

Li Wanning blushed and abruptly turned around to cover her eyes.

"You pervert! Wearing no clothes in broad daylight!"

Xu Nuo casually grabbed a long robe and put it on before jumping off the bed.

"What do you want?"

Li Wanning lowered her hand, turned around, and glared at him.

"Something happened at the workshop."

"The Chen family?" Xu Nuo frowned. Chen Wanjin had already been crippled by him, and they still dared to jump?

"No," Li Wanning said solemnly, "it was a group of people dressed in blue. They were extremely powerful, they injured the craftsmen we recruited, and they even told you to go and see them in person."

Green robe.

Xu Nuo squinted his eyes.

The Primordial Holy Land.

Shen Qingyi reminded him yesterday that the head of the Enforcement Hall is at the peak of the fourth rank.

They arrived quite quickly.

"Let's go." Xu Nuo walked outside.

"Are you crazy?" Li Wanning grabbed him. "Those people were obviously no good. The leader had a terrifying aura. The imperial guards I brought... the bodyguards I brought couldn't even withstand a single move from him!"

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Nuo slapped her hand away. "In the capital, dragons have to coil up and tigers have to lie low."

The two arrived at an open space in the south of the city.

This land was originally purchased by Li Wanning, who planned to build a chicken essence workshop.

Now it's a complete mess.

Dozens of craftsmen lay on the ground groaning in pain, building materials scattered all over the place.

In the center of the open space stood five people dressed in blue.

The leader was a middle-aged man, standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking down on people.

The head of the Enforcement Hall of the Primordial Holy Land, whose punishment is extinction.

Upon seeing Xu Nuo appear, Xing Jue's gaze sharpened like lightning, piercing straight towards him.

"You're Xu Nuo?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was so loud it made people's eardrums hurt.

Li Wanning's face turned pale, and he subconsciously hid behind Xu Nuo.

"It's me." Xu Nuo stepped forward, glancing at the craftsmen on the ground. "They injured my people and wrecked my place. Are all the people of the Primordial Holy Land this unruly?"

Xing Jue let out a cold laugh.

"Rules? The Holy Land is the rule."

He looked Xu Nuo up and down, his eyes full of contempt.

"That good-for-nothing Shen Qingyi can't even handle a playboy. She's utterly disgraced the Holy Land. The Holy Lord has ordered that you be brought back with your head to report."

"You think you can take me?" Xu Nuo twisted his neck, his bones cracking.

"Arrogant."

Xing Jue was too lazy to waste words.

He took a step forward, and his peak fourth-grade internal energy erupted.

Azure energy condensed on his body, transforming into a suit of armor that looked almost tangible.

The outward release of qi forms armor, a mark of a fourth-rank martial artist.

Invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire.

"die!"

Xing Jue flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xu Nuo.

He threw a punch.

The air was compressed to its limit, producing a piercing sonic boom.

This punch is enough to level a small hill.

Li Wanning exclaimed in alarm, "Watch out!"

Xu Nuo did not dodge.

He raised his right hand, made a fist, and slammed it towards Xing Jue's fist.

There is no external qi, only pure physical strength.

Xing Jue's eyes were full of mockery.

Trying to withstand a fourth-grade internal energy with your bare body? That's suicide.

boom!

Their fists collided.

A dull, loud bang, like muffled thunder, exploded in the open space.

A violent shockwave swept outwards, kicking up clouds of dust.

Li Wanning was pushed back several steps by the blast wave, barely managing to regain his footing.

She stared intently at the center of the dust.

It’s over.

Xu Nuo must have been blasted to smithereens.

However, when the dust settled...

Li Wanning's eyes widened suddenly.

Xu Nuo stood still, motionless.

Xing Jue, however, remained in his punching stance, his face flushed red, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible..."

Xing Jue's prized Qi Armor actually developed fine cracks under Xu Nuo's fist.

"Fourth-grade peak, and that's all the strength you've got?"

Xu Nuo's lips curled into a sinister smile.

With the physical strength of a fifth-rank martial artist, plus the blessing of the Primordial Dragon Soul, his current power is simply terrifying to the extreme.

hum.

The jade pendant on her chest suddenly became hot.

Roar!

A dragon's roar exploded in Xing Jue's mind.

Xing Jue's soul trembled violently. Before he could react, a terrifying suction force surged from Xu Nuo's fist.

The internal energy within him surged into Xu Nuo's body like a flood bursting its banks.

"What did you do?!"

Xing Jue was terrified and tried to back away.

But Xu Nuo's hand gripped his fist like an iron clamp.

"Since we're already here, what's the rush?"

Xu Nuo pulled hard.

Xingjue lost his balance and staggered forward.

Xu Nuo raised his knee and slammed it hard into Xing Jue's chest.

Click!

The armor shattered with a deafening roar.

Xing Jue's sternum caved in, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"The First Seat!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining four men in blue robes were filled with rage and drew their swords, charging forward.

"roll."

Xu Nuo didn't even look at them, and waved his hand behind his back.

The violent force sent the four flying, crashing heavily into the distant ruins, their fate unknown.

Xing Jue collapsed to the ground, his internal energy almost completely drained.

He looked at Xu Nuo, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear.

This is not martial arts at all!

What kind of monster is this?!

"You...you dare kill me..." Xing Jue gasped weakly, "The Holy Land...will not let you get away with this..."

"Holy Land?"

Xu Nuo squatted down and patted Xing Jue's face.

"Go back and tell your Holy Lord to wash his neck clean and wait. If he dares to provoke me, I will raze the Primordial Holy Land to the ground sooner or later."

After saying that, Xu Nuo slapped Xing Jue's dantian with his palm.

boom.

The dantian shattered.

Xing Jue let out a miserable scream and became a complete cripple.

The entire room fell silent.

Li Wanning stood not far away, completely numb.

Peak of the fourth rank.

Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Primordial Holy Land.

So he was promised to be beaten like a grandson, crippled with just a few punches and kicks?

Is this still the rumored good-for-nothing prince who hasn't even touched the threshold of martial arts?

Xu Nuo stood up, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her hands, and casually threw it on Xing Jue's face.

"Throw these pieces of trash out," Xu Nuo ordered the dumbfounded guard beside him.

"Yes...yes!"

The guards, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly dragged Xing Jue and the four men in blue away.

Xu Nuo turned to look at Li Wanning.

"Alright, the problem is solved. Let's continue building the workshop."

Li Wanning swallowed hard, looking at Xu Nuo as if he were a monster.

"What...what level of cultivation do you possess?"

"Fifth rank," Xu Nuo replied casually.

"Bullshit!" Li Wanning cursed out loud. "A fifth-rank cultivator can utterly crush a peak fourth-rank cultivator? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?!"

Believe it or not.

Xu Nuo was too lazy to explain.

He felt the surge of power within him.

Having absorbed Xing Jue's powerful energy, the fifth dragon pattern shone even brighter.

The peak fourth-grade internal energy is indeed a great tonic.

"Oh, right," Xu Nuo suddenly remembered something, "you just said you brought a few imperial guards with you...?"

Li Wanning's heart skipped a beat.

I almost let it slip in my haste.

"A...a master of the Imperial Guard!" Li Wanning feigned composure. "I hired retired guards from the palace at great expense. What's wrong with that?"

"It's nothing." Xu Nuo gave her a half-smile.

This girl's identity is indeed extraordinary.

But he didn't care.

As long as it helps him make money, he doesn't care who she is.

"Hurry up and hire people; the workshop must be built within three days. I've already written down the chicken bouillon recipe."

Xu Nuo took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Wanning.

Li Wanning took the paper, glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"If this product were made, it could absolutely monopolize the restaurant business in the entire capital!"

"Of course." Xu Nuo smiled. "Isn't the Chen family rich? I'll make them watch their money flow into my pocket, bit by bit."

at the same time.

In a small alley outside the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Shen Qingyi stood in the shadows, watching Xing Jue being thrown out like a dead dog, her cold eyes filled with extreme shock.

Xing Jue was defeated.

And the defeat was so complete.

She originally came to collect Xu Nuo's body.

But now, it's the head of the Enforcement Hall who's being collected.

"Just how much strength is he hiding...?"

Shen Qingyi muttered to herself.

She suddenly realized that her proud intelligence network in the Holy Land was a complete joke in front of this spoiled young master.

Xu Nuo is by no means a piece of trash.

He is an ancient ferocious beast disguised as a sheep.

Shen Qingyi took a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart.

She turned and disappeared into the darkness.
