Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingluo nodded: "Then let's take this opportunity to use public opinion to put pressure on the United Government. There are many companies on Tianqi Island, but not all of them are the United Government's dogs. Let's make these people feel a little threatened."

"Yes!"

······

Chapter 107 Are you happy being with me?

When Li Xingzhou walked into the house, Tong Yan was fast asleep on the sofa, hugging a pillow.

He wasn't sure if the automaton needed to sleep, but he felt that Tong Yan looked like an ordinary person who hadn't cultivated.

He plopped down on the sofa and glanced at the two fair, delicate feet of the boy with the baby face resting on the side of the sofa.

The instep is smooth and translucent, with graceful and delicate lines, rounded and slender, and a few faint blue veins showing through the fair and tender skin like jade.

Her slender, delicate toes curled slightly, tender and lovely, with a lustrous orange-pink hue on each toe, like a string of white pearls tinged with pink. Her exquisite toenails resembled small, neat mother-of-pearl shells, translucent and radiating a captivating pale pink.

Her feet were small and slender, with a beautiful shape like lotus petals, and at the same time, they resembled a small, white, fleshy water chestnut, showing their delicate and adorable nature.

Li Xingzhou glanced at the soles of her slender feet, where a faint white patch on the inside of her arch contrasted beautifully with the soft pink on the outside, making her look even more youthful.

Could there be weapons hidden in such fair and tender feet?

As Li Xingzhou pondered this, he curiously picked one up and examined it closely, feeling its structure. At the same time, he sent a video call invitation to Jiang Wanzhao.

The video call was quickly connected, and Li Xingzhou could clearly see that Jiang Wanzhao was still in the office, showing no sign of resting.

"Sister, why did you agree to let Jiang Xuetang and me live together?" Li Xingzhou asked directly, wanting to know Jiang Wanzhao's true thoughts.

As Jiang Wanzhao looked at the documents, she said, "When you're alone out there, someone has to take care of your daily life, right?"

"Are you treating her like a maid?" Li Xingzhou was speechless for a moment. "Aren't you afraid that I'll develop feelings for her over time?"

Jiang Wanzhao said calmly, "If she's not a virgin, I have plenty of ways to find out."

"..."

No wonder he agreed to Jiang Xuetang's suggestion so easily; it turns out he was waiting for this.

"Some things are what they are from the beginning; no amount of patching them up later can change that." Jiang Wanzhao looked at Li Xingzhou meaningfully. "As for other paths... I'll video chat with her every day, but as for the timing, I'm not sure either~"

Li Xingzhou immediately picked up the childlike, fair-skinned foot: "I have an automaton!"

Jiang Wanzhao glanced at the actions in his hands, her eyes showing no emotion: "How is this any different from letting you play with adult games when I was a kid?"

“The difference is huge,” Li Xingzhou said matter-of-factly. “It was a waste of my energy, wasn’t it?”

Jiang Wanzhao said meaningfully, "If you're not afraid she might suddenly explode, you can give it a try."

Li Xingzhou knew she was bluffing him, but he still feigned doubt and asked, "What's the new agreement between you and the Athena?"

Jiang Wanzhao smiled but remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Li Xingzhou changed the subject: "If you're not feeling well, don't work overtime. Although I used the Cup of Heaven to set up an array for the palace, it doesn't mean you can stay up all night without restraint."

“I didn’t want to either, but…” Jiang Wanzhao tilted her head and looked at him: “Didn’t you see the news? The Second True Ancestor launched a blitzkrieg against the Holy Light Church and won.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow: "When did this happen?"

"This afternoon," Jiang Wanzhao said lazily, "the vampires, who dislike sunlight, launched an attack. Surprising, wasn't it?"

"really."

Li Xingzhou nodded, indeed feeling somewhat surprised, but not paying too much attention.

He knew better than anyone whether Emilia was under his control or not, and Emilia was doing this for one of two purposes.

One reason is to be punished for making mistakes, and the other is to attract some of the world's high-end combat power to the Eternal Night Realm and the Starry Sky Realm, thus buying himself time and space to obtain the Heavenly Cup on Apocalypse Island.

Either way, you won't lose out.

Li Xingzhou just didn't expect Emilia to act so quickly. Just a few days ago, at the welcoming banquet, they had shown each other everything.

Okay, let's play together again next time.

"So, you're also planning to make a move?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Wanzhao twirled his pen. "With the army at its peak, it's pointless to just keep them inactive. Besides, many people have been imprisoned because of Lin Jin's case. Who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to fill the vacancies?"

As he spoke, Jiang Wanzhao leaned forward slightly: "My first step is to bring the entire Qiming Realm under Yun Li's control!"

Li Xingzhou continued to massage Tong Yan's wonderfully soft feet: "How many areas are still not under actual control?"

"You don't care about my work at all."

"I'm just a martial artist." Li Xingzhou's hand reached up to touch Tong Yan's calf. "I'll hit wherever you point. Nothing else is within my consideration."

He paused, then continued, "But it seems there aren't any major difficulties left. The Demon King's City is gone, and those remaining were basically already under your control. The biggest problem is the orcs and demons north of Dragon Rising Island, right?"

“It’s really not a difficult problem.” Jiang Wanzhao nodded: “If the vampire race and the Holy Light Church go to war, the Skywing race will also have to be wary of the demon race.”

She paused, then, as if remembering something, warned, "You mustn't let the succubus control you."

"Hmm?" Li Xingzhou became interested: "Are there many succubi on Apocalypse Island?"

"Many," Jiang Wanzhao said calmly. "Demons are one of humanity's enemies, but succubi are not. Do you know why?"

"Most people are mortal enemies of gambling and drugs?"

"Is that so?" Jiang Wanzhao looked at Li Xingzhou with amusement. "You wouldn't actually want a succubus, would you?"

Li Xingzhou joked, "If there's a clean succubus, it's not impossible."

Jiang Wanzhao immediately let out a cold laugh: "They're all succubi, and you still expect them to be clean?"

"A demon that survives by absorbing yang energy, do you think it can be clean?"

"What if?"

"So, you've decided?"

Li Xingzhou seemed oblivious to Jiang Wanzhao's threat and continued, "You see, if angels can fall into demonic form, then they can also fall into succubi, right?"

So, this succubus is clean, right?

"Perfect, I'm a cultivator, so I can really afford to support a succubus..."

"You want a beating, don't you?" Jiang Wanzhao slammed his hand on the table: "Believe it or not, I'll..."

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding," Li Xingzhou quickly said. "Sis, don't be angry, I was just saying..."

"Do you need me to buy a heart-shaped tail?"

Jiang Wanzhao's sudden remark startled Li Xingzhou. Imagining the scene, he immediately changed the subject: "Let's talk about the war."

We can't let Jiang Wanzhao think that I've fallen into depravity.

Otherwise she'll become even more arrogant!

Jiang Wanzhao sneered twice: "There's nothing to say. You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Enlightenment Realm for now. I can handle it all on my own."

"Your Majesty, I obey your decree." Li Xingzhou bowed in a perfunctory manner. "Your Majesty, it is getting late, so I will take my leave now."

Jiang Wanzhao nodded, then suddenly asked, "How much do you believe in that appraisal report now?"

Li Xingzhou looked into Jiang Wanzhao's eyes: "Now that things have come to this, is that psychiatric evaluation report still important?"

"important."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhou nodded: "I will verify it myself."

Jiang Wanzhao chuckled lightly: "I haven't lied to you about anything."

Li Xingzhou remained silent until the video call ended, at which point he looked at Tong Yan, who had just woken up.

"Lord Xingzhou, when did you get back?" Tong Yan blinked her eyes. "I'm starving."

Li Xingzhou found it both funny and absurd; who was whose automaton?

"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll order." Li Xingzhou asked while tickling the soles of her feet.

The baby face felt itchy, but there were no other reactions.

Tong Yan, who had tucked her toes in, watched Li Xingzhou scrolling through his phone, reciting the names of the dishes while observing his expression.

"That's all we're eating..." Tong Yan finished speaking, then suddenly changed the subject: "Are you happy being with Lord Xingzhou?"

Li Xingzhou said without looking up, "I'm quite happy... Everything's ordered, it'll be delivered in ten minutes."

Li Xingzhou, who had just opened the news page, glanced at Tong Yan and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking that?"

Tong Yan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Li Xingzhou smiled and reached out to pat Tong Yan's head, without saying anything more.

Tong Yan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly stepped barefoot onto the floor and ran towards the study.

Li Xingzhou glanced at it but didn't ask anything, continuing to follow international news.

After getting a general idea of ​​how Emilia launched her attack, Guan Xuan's message arrived the next second, concise and to the point.

The academy has agreed to let you serve as a magic instructor.

Li Xingzhou immediately offered a few compliments, secretly estimating the time; the poison he had placed on the spirit crystal beforehand should be starting to take effect.

This poison was a test; he wanted to know if the Celestial Dragons on Apocalypse Island were all capable of sharing danger.

If possible, to what extent can this sharing be utilized?

If someone hides their true appearance and voice, will they be able to identify themselves?

Li Xingzhou tossed his phone aside, and while pondering, suddenly called out into the house, "Tong Yan, come out with me after dinner."

Tong Yan poked his head out from the doorway: "Lord Xingzhou, where are you going?"

"Outer city".

······

The Realm of Eternal Night, the Night-Singing Clan.

Inside the manor, Emilia sat in her long-unseen office, her crimson eyes fixed intently on the map on the table.

She held a wine glass in her right hand and gently touched the red four-leaf clover necklace around her neck with her left.

"He hasn't made a move after all this time..."
