Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

“I was in the White Eagle Federation the whole time you were participating in the Princess Consort selection competition. With the help of those arrogant cultists, and with the help of our informants who were already there, I managed to find an opportunity to capture an inspector from the White Eagle Intelligence Bureau. I used a few tricks on him and found out everything.”

"Ha, the foolish White Eagle Federation, insisting on the separation of powers in every department and using cowardly politicians to supervise those superhuman agents, which only made them a weakness. Those superhuman agents may not be afraid of my torture, but politicians who only know how to bully others will not be able to. I didn't even have to lift a finger, and he confessed everything."

"The White Eagle Federation is indeed cunning. They did intend to use this as a pretext to send a large number of elite superhumans to take advantage of the situation and severely damage our Holy Zhou Kingdom. However, they also prepared a way out in advance if they failed. That poor Minister of State is the sacrifice. He will be the first to be killed when the White Eagle Federation makes its move. After that, those superhuman agents will become traitors and collaborators. The White Eagle Federation will not have to take responsibility for their actions."

"It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't completely ruin the reputation of the White Eagle Federation, but taking out so many of their super agents and plunging almost all the Freedom Alliance member states into chaos, my plan this time can be considered a great success."

Just then, the beef bone soup in the iron pot was finally ready. Lei Mingming took out two large bowls, sprinkled chopped green onions and cilantro into them, then ladled in the fragrant beef bone soup and gave one bowl to Qin Huanyu.

Qin Huanyu didn't stand on ceremony. After taking the soup, she picked up the shredded sesame seed cakes from the basket next to the soup pot and soaked them in the beef bone soup.

After that, neither of them spoke. They each slurped down a large bowl of meat broth with flatbread before patting their bellies and continuing their conversation with satisfied expressions.

“I understand your thoughts and admire your awareness and sacrifice, but…”

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Huanyu tentatively asked:

"Are you really not regretting it at all? After this incident, even if our Holy Zhou Kingdom truly achieves unification, it will be very difficult to clear your name. You will likely be branded as a traitor and a villain, and your name will be tarnished for eternity."

"...I've long since stopped caring about reputation."

Lei Mingming gave a self-deprecating laugh, with a hint of sadness deep in his eyes:

"If my children were still alive, I certainly wouldn't have done these things. As the mother of a war hero, I would have used my own merits and fame to help them achieve great things."

"It's a pity that my children died long ago. I have no relatives or friends, no descendants, and I only have a few years left to live... So what do I have to worry about? Rather than dying on my bed when my life is over, I might as well make the most of my remaining energy."

"...You might not be considered a good person."

Qin Huanyu remained silent for a moment before sincerely saying:

"But you are a true national hero and patriot! If one day in the future the Holy Zhou Kingdom can truly achieve the unification of human civilization, I will definitely find a way to restore some of your reputation."

"It's good that you have the intention, there's no need to force it, and I don't care about those things."

Lei Mingming waved his hand dismissively, but deep in his eyes there was still a hint of happiness and relief.

"...This shouldn't be the whole story, right? Do you need my cooperation afterward?"

Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment before asking the question directly.

"Of course, this is only the first step in my White Eagle Fall plan. You should be able to see the second and final steps in the international news very soon."

Lei Mingming appeared very confident, and then earnestly instructed:

"However, there's no need for you to cooperate with me. I'll bear all the blame for being a traitor and a collaborator. You young people should be heroes... If necessary, you can even kill me with your own hands to achieve something even greater."

"But……"

"No buts."

Lei Mingming interrupted Qin Huanyu directly:

"Since you can understand my feelings and plans, you should know even better that I don't care about my life or reputation at all... Don't let my sacrifice be wasted, don't miss this great opportunity, that's what you should really be doing."

"……I see."

Qin Huanyu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding solemnly.

Then she suddenly grabbed Shirley's thick dog hair, ignoring Shirley's bewildered look, and forcibly plucked out a large handful of dog hair, which looked very painful.

Fortunately, Sherry wasn't a real dog, and these dog hairs weren't actually dog ​​hairs, but rather a part of the source of power of the embodiment of arrogance.

Qin Huanyu crumpled the dog hair into a ball in her hand, then glared at it, thus changing the form of the dog hair through subjective observation.

"Cuckoo...cuckoo..."

A gray owl was born in Qin Huanyu's palm, and at Qin Huanyu's signal, it flew to Lei Mingming's shoulder and nuzzled Lei Mingming's face.

“…What is this?”

Lei Mingming first teased the owl with his finger a couple of times before asking curiously.

"This is a portion of the authority that I separated from the avatar of arrogance. With it by your side, it will be enough for you to control those arrogant cultists in White Eagle Continent."

While gently rubbing Shirley's head to comfort her, Qin Huanyu explained:

“After all, White Eagle Continent is in a different time zone than us, and I have a girlfriend now, so I may not be able to keep up with the information on the Power of Pride network all the time. I might not be able to cooperate with you at crucial moments... With this partial authority avatar of the Power of Pride, it will be much more convenient for you to have any plans in the future.”

"...You've actually managed to do something like this? Dividing the authority of the Pride Avatar and giving it to someone else—we wouldn't have dared to even dream of that before. Truly worthy of..."

Lei Mingming sighed with mixed feelings before earnestly thanking Qin Huanyu:

"You've put your heart into this; this little thing will definitely be a great help."

After chatting casually for a few more minutes, Lei Mingming left, saying he needed to say a final goodbye to a few old friends.

Before leaving, Lei Mingming gave this farmhouse to Qin Huanyu, jokingly saying that if Qin Huanyu ever got angry with his girlfriend in the capital and was kicked out of his home with nowhere to stay, he could come here.

Shortly after Lei Mingming left, Qin Huanyu also received a message from the palace.

Wu Xiqun has already finished 'celebrating' with Nangong Yue and is about to hold her first meeting as the new director of the 404 Investigation Bureau. Qin Huanyu will also be attending.

Chapter 182 I want to promote Sister Yu! Who agrees, who disagrees?

After leaving Lei Mingming's farmhouse, Qin Huanyu did not return to the palace, but went directly to the headquarters of the 404 Investigation Bureau as ordered by Wu Xiqun.

Wu Xiqun has arrived here, and all the Investigation Bureau members who have received orders will immediately assemble here to attend the upcoming meeting.

Yesterday's wedding in the palace, although it was actually forced to stop, was unknown to the vast majority of people across the country. The live broadcast they watched was a rehearsal recording, and they all thought that Princess Wu Xiqun and Nangong Yue had successfully married.

The royal family and the official government of the Holy Zhou Kingdom certainly won't offer any explanation, but will simply go with the flow and accept the successful completion of the wedding as a fact.

Of course, considering the emotions of the two parties involved, after the aftermath of this incident has completely subsided in a few days, the royal family will hold another wedding for Wu Xiqun and Nangong Yue on a small scale. However, this wedding will not be open to the public and will only invite a small number of relatives and friends to attend.

According to the tradition of the royal family of Sheng Zhou, the wedding of the heir to the throne means that she will officially begin her duties as the regent and crown prince.

The royal family no longer participates in daily governance, and the regent crown prince is no longer required to attend court. However, the 404 Investigation Bureau is still responsible. The Queen has officially handed over the position of director to Wu Xiqun. The upcoming meeting will not only be a summary and discussion of yesterday's events, but also Wu Xiqun's debut meeting as director.

After arriving at the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau, Qin Huanyu went straight to the director's office.

This office used to belong to Empress Wu Tianyi, but she rarely came here, so Lei Mingming used it most of the time. Qin Huanyu, however, recently received Lei Mingming's permission at the Investigation Bureau headquarters to enter the office without knocking.

Qin Huanyu, still acting out of habit, pushed the door open without knocking, only to find Wu Xiqun rolling around on the desk. Hearing the door open, she jumped up in a start, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Sister Yu, why didn't you knock?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm just used to it... Senior Lei previously gave me permission not to knock."

Qin Huanyu quickly closed the door, but she did not go out herself.

Wu Xiqun rolled her eyes and straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes.

She wasn't wearing that elaborate and gorgeous princess outfit at the moment, but only a relatively simple purple off-the-shoulder top and pleated skirt, with white over-the-knee socks on her legs. There was also a leg ring on the left side of the sock, which would be faintly visible as the skirt fluttered.

Qin Huanyu scrutinized Wu Xi's skirt for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and became curious:

"Your Highness, your appearance has returned to normal?"

Although she was knocked unconscious by Wu Xiqun's secret technique, she clearly remembered before she fainted that Wu Xiqun had turned into a brown-silver gradient with heterochromatic red and blue eyes, just like the legendary hero. It must have been due to the deep awakening of her bloodline.

"No, it's just a minor spell."

Wu Xiqun shrugs her shoulders:

"It's the one that Sister Youyou used to use... After all, I was an idol for many years, and everyone has a deep impression of my image. I don't want to change, so let's leave it as it is for now."

"Well……"

Qin Huanyu did not hide the regret in her tone:

"I really like how Your Highness looks after your bloodline has awakened; you're very beautiful."

"Huh? Does Sister Yu like me like that?"

Wu Xi held her face in her hands, seemingly a little shy:

"Then I'll show it to you, Sister Yu~~"

As she spoke, she simply tossed her hair left and right a few times, thus dispelling the disguise spell and transforming back into her awakened form. She now had waist-length hair that gradually turned from brown to silver, heterochromatic eyes in crimson and azure, a more alluring figure, and a more charming and seductive aura. It was as if a sweet and innocent young girl had gained mature charm after marriage, becoming even more captivating.

Qin Huanyu was stunned for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had unknowingly walked to Wu Xiqun's side and that Wu Xiqun had grabbed her hand.

"Sister Yu, touch here."

Wu Xiqun first winked at Qin Huanyu with one eye, then lightly lifted her shirt and placed Qin Huanyu's hand on her lower abdomen:

"Dr. Lily of the Valley has confirmed it! There's a little life here now, it's our baby!"

Qin Huanyu didn't sense the little life at all. In fact, apart from someone with extraordinary medical skills like Linglan, no one could detect the little life that had just been conceived for a day.

Qin Huanyu only felt that Wu Xiqun's skin on her lower abdomen was very smooth, even more delicate than silk, which made her heart flutter. Then she felt a heat on her leg, and when she looked down, she found that Wu Xiqun's hand was quietly placed on her leg, checking the black stockings.

—Am I being harassed in the workplace?

Lost in her own thoughts, Qin Huanyu could only offer a gentle reminder:

"Your Highness, this is my leg."

"I know."

Wu Xiqun wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she confidently used her other hand to inspect Qin Huanyu's black stockings as well.

"I'm carrying your child, Sister Yu, so what's wrong with touching your leg?"

"Uh……"

Qin Huanyu was speechless. Although she didn't resist, she still retorted verbally:

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it? What if Youyou or Yuebao finds out..."

"Don't worry, they won't know!"

Wu Xiqun stopped pretending altogether, and her actions became increasingly outrageous:

"This is the headquarters of the 404 Investigation Bureau. As someone from the Treasure Pavilion, Sister Youyou would never come here. As for Sister Yue... hehe, she was already exhausted when she celebrated the victory in the palace. She's probably still fast asleep right now."

"Well……"

Hearing Wu Xiqun's words, Qin Huanyu truly relaxed a lot; this feeling of sneaking around was indeed very exciting. However, she was also somewhat curious:

"Since Your Highness has already celebrated with Yuebao, why..."

"We're already in this relationship, Sister Yu, why are you still calling me Your Highness? It's too formal. When we're not around, just call me Qunqun."

Wu Xiqun first gave Qin Huanyu a flirtatious wink, then, somewhat unexpectedly, stopped all her actions, took two steps back, and sat on the desk, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hearing what you say, Sister Yu, I've realized... as my bloodline power awakens further, my desires have also become much stronger. Since yesterday's battle, I've had various impulses more than once. I even almost pounced on Doctor Linglan when she examined me, and then I made Sister Yue faint from the excitement... Could this be the price I pay for becoming stronger? Or is this just the nature of my ancestors?"

"Well... I don't know either."

Qin Huanyu twisted her body, glared at Wu Xiqun with a hint of resentment, and then took a few steps back to sit down on the sofa opposite the desk.

"Record it, record it."

Wu Xiqun didn't notice Qin Huanyu's slight dissatisfaction and quickly took out a notebook to write:

"According to my grandmother, I am the first person to awaken my bloodline power to this extent. I still need to study and master this stage of bloodline power, and I must also pay attention to the side effects."

"Besides becoming more... uh, more driven by desire, have you discovered any other side effects of the Hero's power, Skirt Skirt?"

Qin Huanyu asked curiously.

"Another thing is that I've become a bigger eater."

After recording the information, Wu Xi closed the pen cap, put the notebook away, and sighed.

"Sister Yu, you would never guess how much I ate last night... more than 50 kilograms of boiled beef and more than 100 pieces of bread and cake of various sizes. The royal chef was both frightened and exhausted. Doctor Linglan was also alarmed and came to examine me immediately."

"The test results should be fine, right?" Qin Huanyu asked again.

"fine."

Wu Xi waved her hand, her skirt billowing:

“Those foods were perfectly digested by my body and transformed into pure energy. I don’t have to worry about affecting my health or gaining weight… Dr. Lily of the Valley even encouraged me to eat as much as I wanted. She said that as long as I eat more now, I can become stronger and my child can be healthier.”

"Uh... isn't that a good thing? Why do you say it's for the vice president?"

Qin Huanyu was somewhat puzzled.

"Not all vice presidents are associated with negative things."

Wu Xiqun shrugs her shoulders:

"Sister Yu, have you forgotten? Yesterday, I was able to further awaken my bloodline power by taking advantage of the side effects of the secret technique... The main function of that secret technique was actually to give birth."

"Right."
