Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

But if they have any improper thoughts or ambitions... then the Holy Zhou Kingdom will have no choice but to let their whole family die by suicide or accident, and then tearfully accept their property.

When the Yaoguang landed at the Sakura State military base to unload its cargo, the officials in charge of diplomacy at the Ministry of Rites of Saint Zhou were also extremely busy.

The White Hawk government on the West Coast has suffered such a huge loss this time, it certainly won't let it go.

After failing to intercept the Yao Guang, General Ron expressed strong condemnation and even threats to the Holy Zhou Kingdom through diplomatic channels.

When the major powers collaborated to develop the "Sky Lock Regulations," the White Eagle Federation was the main technology provider for this project.

They are capable of breaking the [Heavenly Lock Regulations] to restore network communication to White Eagle Continent after they themselves are locked down.

General Ron used this as leverage: if the Holy Zhou Kingdom didn't give him an explanation, he would voluntarily unlock the [Heavenly Lock Regulations] and expose the current situation of White Eagle Continent to the world via the internet, making the existence of extraordinary power no longer a secret.

The diplomats of the Holy Zhou Kingdom were not afraid, because when the [Heavenly Lock Regulations] were formulated, the creators had considered this situation—once information about extraordinary beings in a certain region completely got out of control and the network could not be blocked, that region could be completely abandoned.

Therefore, the diplomats of the Holy Zhou Kingdom responded forcefully—if General Ron dared to order the network blockade of the [Heavenly Lock Regulations] to be lifted, the Holy Zhou Kingdom would dare to directly bombard White Eagle Continent with nuclear weapons to ensure that the information control of the extraordinary beings would not get out of control.

Of course, both sides made a lot of noise but did little. These threats were merely diplomatic maneuvers, and both sides knew the gravity of the situation and were unlikely to actually carry them out.

With the timely intervention of the Western Continent nations, including England and Aryan, the two sides eventually reached a certain consensus.

It is a fact that the Holy Zhou Kingdom took a large amount of gold and technical data from the White Eagle Federation by taking advantage of the arrival of the Runren. Moreover, the White Eagle Federation on the west coast is now the front line of the war between Earthlings and aliens, and should not be given up easily.

Therefore, the Holy Week Congress will provide the White Eagle government on the West Coast with various forms of assistance in addition to direct military aid as compensation... at least enough food and basic necessities will be provided so that the White Eagle army on the West Coast can fight the aliens with peace of mind without worrying about the people at home dying from cold and hunger.

The uproar caused by Bai Yingrun has now been largely quelled.

However, Qin Huanyu didn't care about these diplomatic matters, nor did she stay in Yinghua Prefecture to wait for the Yaoguang—this was already the territory of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, and the Yaoguang didn't need her protection.

Shortly after the Yaoguang landed at the Sakura State military base, Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi returned directly to the capital. They had more important things to do—to give Lei Mingming, who had been sleeping in an unmelting ice coffin, a proper burial.

Those who should know about this were already waiting for them. They discussed together where to bury Lei Mingming, under what name to bury him, and what kind of epitaph to write.

Being buried in the Royal Martyrs' Cemetery would certainly be the best option, and given Lei Mingming's various glorious achievements during his lifetime, he would definitely qualify... but that won't do.

Although it was all a scheme, the fact that Lei Mingming colluded with the Truth Society to invade the capital was true, and it had to be true, otherwise the reputation of the Holy Zhou Kingdom in the international arena would be completely ruined.

Therefore, Lei Mingming cannot be admitted to the Royal Martyrs' Park.

The Empress then suggested burying Lei Mingming right there in the palace, next to the small courtyard where she now lives.

This proposal also met with strong opposition from two knowledgeable senior officials—in the more than 1300 years since the founding of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, no non-royal member had ever been buried in the palace, and doing so would not only be against the rules but would also disrupt the feng shui of the palace.

The feng shui of this world is real and extremely useful. No matter how much the Empress takes care of her best friend, she cannot disrupt the feng shui of the Myriad Manifestations Palace, so she has no choice but to give up.

In the end, it was Qin Huanyu who suggested burying Lei Mingming in that farmhouse in the mountains.

It's not far from the temple, so old friends can visit her anytime they want. It was also where Lei Mingming privately relaxed and rested during her lifetime, so she should be very comfortable resting there after her death.

It was just an ordinary mountain forest, nothing special. Even if the fact that Lei Mingming was buried there was later exposed, no one could make a fuss about it.

Everyone agreed.

Upon arriving at Lei Mingming's farmhouse, Qin Huanyu personally dug a large pit in the yard, big enough to hold the unmelted ice coffin.

The Empress was not idle either. She selected a superior stone from the royal treasury and, after many years, once again used the power of a hero to shape the stone into a tombstone. She then personally wrote an inscription for Lei Mingming.

There are no fancy words, just a simple and unadorned sentence:

My dear friend, one of the greatest warriors, rests here in eternal peace.

The empress did not sign her name, but the powerful aura of a warrior left on her tombstone was recognized by everyone in the extraordinary world of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Those who see this tombstone in later generations may not know exactly what Lei Mingming did, but they will certainly know that she once had a close relationship with the royal family of the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

The Empress and Lei Mingming are the same age, and now they are both in their twilight years. Using the power of the hero once again has greatly exhausted her physical strength. After finishing the inscription, she was panting heavily and was helped to rest by Wu Xiqun and Nangong Yue.

After Qin Huanyu finished digging the pit, she took over the final touches on the tombstone.

Using AI drawing technology, she used a carving knife conjured by the power of the Holy Maiden to draw a black and white portrait of Lei Mingming below the tombstone, and wrote down Lei Mingming's name, date of birth, and date of death.

While Qin Huanyu was finishing up the tombstone, Yi Qiushui also took action. She modified the large pit that Qin Huanyu had dug, setting up a simple yet ingenious Xuanmen formation. She also left several high-grade magical artifacts as burial goods and tomb guardians to prevent any villains or foolish wild beasts from disturbing Lei Mingming's eternal rest.

After everything was ready, Yuan Qi, who had been holding the unmelting ice coffin in his sleeve, used the "Hidden Universe" technique to release the ice coffin and place it in the pit prepared by Yi Qiushui.

The filling was done by everyone; everyone who came to the burial helped... It was basically a group of close friends from the two empresses, and two senior officials from the Fengge Pavilion who were always very close to the royal family.

After the burial, according to the tradition of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, Lei Mingming's descendants were required to guard her tomb for seven days.

But Lei Mingming's family had all died in the war more than 70 years ago, which was one of the main reasons why she was able to do it without any worries.

Lei Mingming had no descendants.

In the end, this task could only be handled by Qin Huanyu. She and Lei Mingming had only known each other for a short time, no more than two months at most.

Lei Mingming treated her very well and trusted her a lot. He not only personally guided her in combat skills, but also designated her as his successor within the Investigation Bureau—as long as Qin Huanyu doesn't make any major mistakes in the future, the position of deputy director of the Investigation Bureau will eventually be hers.

Indeed, no one is more suitable for this task than Qin Huanyu, and Qin Huanyu herself has no objection.

Yi Youyou wanted to stay and keep Qin Huanyu company, but Qin Huanyu persuaded her to go back—she was already more than half a year pregnant, and it was really not suitable for her to suffer in a farmhouse in the mountains. It would be more reassuring for her to take good care of her pregnancy in the capital.

Qin Huanyu was not a descendant of Lei Mingming, nor did they have any formal master-disciple relationship, so there were not many rules to follow when guarding the tomb.

However, this is relative. You don't have to be constantly in tears and looking grieving, but you can't sit in front of a tombstone playing on your phone, surfing the internet, or playing games, right?

Qin Huanyu still respected Lei Mingming in her heart. She didn't even secretly connect to the Jade Network to pass the time. Instead, she sat cross-legged with her eyes slightly closed like an ancient cultivator, using meditation to recall the training battles she had fought with Lei Mingming and continue to improve her combat skills.

The first two days went smoothly, and Qin Huanyu enjoyed a long-awaited period of carefree life, ignoring everything else. Apart from taking care of her basic physiological needs, she meditated in front of Lei Mingming's tombstone.

On the third night, the clear starry sky above the tombstone was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the concentration of spiritual energy within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the farmhouse courtyard rose sharply.

Qin Huanyu quickly ended her meditation and investigated the strange phenomenon, only to discover that the source of all this was Lei Mingming's tomb.

She was immediately in a dilemma—she couldn't just dig up Lei Mingming's grave, could she? She could only observe it further.

As the concentration of spiritual energy continued to rise, Qin Huanyu's arm began to feel a tingling sensation—it was the arm that sealed the Arc Rifle [Jade Kirin Type 1]. It was probably the Thunder Spirit Orb on the Arc Rifle that resonated with the dense thunder-attribute spiritual energy in the environment.

Qin Huanyu quickly covered her arm, but it was no use. The seal on Linglan's tattoo finally gave way and automatically broke, causing the Arc Rifle to fall out.

The Thunder Spirit Orb flickered intermittently like breathing, and the entire Arc Rifle heated up to about 300 degrees Celsius, making it extremely hot to the touch even with Qin Huanyu's enhanced physique.

Qin Huanyu was in an even more difficult situation, unsure of what to do.

Her duty told her that she should immediately dig up the grave to find the source of the anomaly, but her emotions prevented her from doing so.

Just as they were struggling with this, a streak of light suddenly flew from the sky—it was a flying sword. The sword stopped precisely in front of the tombstone, hovering vertically. Master Yuan Qi's voice came from the blade:

"I sense that the lightning-attribute spiritual energy here is going berserk... What's going on? Hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon."

Before Qin Huanyu could reply, another whooshing sound came from afar, and a force that charged wildly carved a path through the forest and reached the farmhouse.

She was dressed in a Wu Xi skirt, her morning jogging attire. She must have used the power of a hero to run all the way from the capital at supersonic speed.

"What happened here, Sister Yu?"

After Wu Xiqun stood beside Qin Huanyu, she wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead:

"When the Empress Dowager sensed that something had happened here, she was extremely anxious and almost came over herself. It took me a lot of effort to persuade her to come and take a look in her place."

"I'm not so sure either……"

Qin Huanyu gave a wry smile and told Wu Xiqun and Yuan Qi about her experience at the same time.

"Let's take a look first, and don't disturb Mingming's resting place lightly."

After a moment of deliberation, it was the most senior and experienced Celestial Master, Yuan Qi, who made the decision:

“I’ll be there soon, and Qiu Shui might go too… With the few of us keeping an eye on things, we should be able to handle any unexpected situations.”

"it is good."

Qin Huanyu didn't want to dig up the grave either, but now that Yuan Qi was in charge, she breathed a sigh of relief.

About six or seven minutes later, Yuan Qi and Yi Qiushui arrived together on a cloud. After landing, the two immediately joined forces to set up an array to conceal the strange phenomena and spiritual fluctuations in the area, so as to prevent more extraordinary beings from sensing them and having any thoughts about them.

In the farmhouse courtyard, apart from the higher concentration of lightning-attribute spiritual energy, there were still no further abnormal phenomena.

The four of them waited cautiously for about 20 minutes, until the concentration of lightning-attribute spiritual energy in the environment was almost visible to the naked eye, before a new change finally appeared.

The lightning-attribute spiritual energy gathered more noticeably into the grave. Soon, a small, somewhat furry ball of lightning began to wriggle on the soil in front of the tombstone, like a fledgling bird that had just hatched and struggled to emerge completely from the earth.

"Oh it's you……"

Qin Huanyu showed a look of surprise and delight.

The ball of lightning that emerged from the ground unfolded into a cute, somewhat silly-looking owl, which was very affectionate towards Qin Huanyu and immediately flew towards her.

This was the Arrogance Power Avatar that Qin Huanyu made for Lei Mingming using a part of Sherry's body before she went to the White Eagle Federation, so that she could control the Arrogance Cultists in the White Eagle Continent.

To avoid being discovered by others about her connection with Lei Mingming, Qin Huanyu never took the initiative to contact the owl again, and recently she completely lost her connection with the owl.

Surprisingly, the owl was still there. It must have been sealed in the Unmelting Ice Coffin by the Enchantress after Lei Mingming's death. It wasn't until Qin Huanyu guarded Lei Mingming's tomb that it came into close contact with the power of the Pride Source and was able to emerge from the Unmelting Ice Coffin.

The recent surge of lightning-attribute spiritual energy and the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth were caused by the little owl—it ​​seemed to have obtained a portion of lightning power from Lei Mingming during the time it had been following him, or rather, this portion of lightning power was originally Lei Mingming's legacy to Qin Huanyu.

After the little owl flew onto Qin Huanyu, its power immediately began to flow towards her under the pull of the power of arrogance. The dense lightning-attribute spiritual energy surging within a radius of several hundred meters also quickly gathered towards Qin Huanyu.

"Ugh~~~~"

Under Wu Xiqun's excitedly shining gaze, Qin Huanyu, with her legs crossed and her waist covered, felt a tingling sensation all over her body from the electric shock and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Her body didn't seem to have the talent to accommodate lightning-attribute spiritual energy, so the dense lightning-attribute spiritual energy only circulated within her body once before emerging again and condensing towards the lightning spirit orb in the arc rifle in her hand.

As the Thunder Spirit Orb absorbed more and more lightning-attribute spiritual energy, the Arc Rifle, which was one of Qin Huanyu's early works, finally couldn't withstand the pressure and disintegrated under the high temperature.

Then, the lightning-attribute spiritual energy continued to gather until the lightning spirit pearl underwent some kind of sublimation, becoming clearer and even establishing a spiritual connection with Qin Huanyu, just like the inverted cross collar and the power of the Holy Maiden from the Church of Arrogance.

When the strange phenomena completely stopped and the raging lightning-attribute spiritual energy subsided, the lightning spirit pearl transformed from a high-grade spiritual material into a top-grade magic weapon—clearly, this was the legacy Lei Mingming left for Qin Huanyu with his last bit of lightning power.

This kind of magical artifact, which is already connected to one's mind and spirit, does not need to be taught by others. The owner only needs to feel it with their heart to understand the artifact's abilities.

Under the curious gazes of the other three, Qin Huanyu held the sublimated Thunder Spirit Pearl, closed her eyes and pondered for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes again, she revealed a look of ecstatic joy.

This magical artifact, which she had already named the Jade Thunder Pearl in her heart, has two main abilities.

The first ability is the ability of the Supreme Thunder Spirit Orb—it can store a large amount of thunder attribute spiritual essence and can also automatically absorb thunder attribute spiritual essence in the environment to recharge.

The most important ability is the second one, which is exclusive to Qin Huanyu and is basically useless to others—it can convert the power of arrogance into electrical energy with almost no energy loss!

Clearly, this ability was tailor-made for Qin Huanyu by Lei Mingming... She must have spent a lot of time studying the power of arrogance through little owls when she was in White Eagle Continent to be able to do this.

Qin Huanyu's eyes welled up with tears as she recalled a detail from her time with Lei Mingming.

That was before the princess was chosen as her consort. Qin Huanyu was undergoing special training at the Investigation Bureau headquarters, where she often practiced combat with Lei Mingming.

At that time, Qin Huanyu's armor had just been completed. Lei Mingming pointed out many shortcomings to her and asked her if she had any difficulties in improving the armor.

Qin Huanyu once complained with considerable distress:

"Using the power of arrogance to boil water to power the armor is still too inefficient... If the power of arrogance could be directly converted into electrical energy, the performance of my armor could be greatly improved, or even several times over."

Qin Huanyu still hasn't solved this problem. Her armor has undergone many improvements, but the core principle of its power supply is still boiling water, making it a steam-powered armor.

Now we can finally upgrade to electric armor.

Unexpectedly, this problem was ultimately solved by Lei Mingming in this way—regardless of Lei Mingming's true intentions in being kind to Qin Huanyu, since she is so attentive, it is only right for Qin Huanyu to guard her tomb for seven days.

After learning the whole story, Yuan Qi and the others breathed a sigh of relief and left one by one once the farmhouse had completely returned to normal.

Before leaving, Yuan Qi summoned a wave of Yi Wood Divine Thunder to repair the forest.

Wu Xiqun just ran here at supersonic speed, almost in a straight line, breaking many trees in the forest and leaving obvious marks. To avoid attracting attention, it would be best to repair those broken branches and logs.

After the minor incident caused by the completion of the Jade Thunder Pearl, nothing else went wrong until Qin Huanyu's seven-day tomb-guarding period ended.

Finally, Qin Huanyu placed a bouquet of flowers and a bowl of beef bone soup with flatbread at Lei Mingming's grave, and bowed respectfully twice before leaving the farmhouse and returning to the capital.

There was something that had been giving the relevant departments of the Holy Zhou Kingdom a headache for a long time, and they had been waiting for Qin Huanyu to solve the problem. Now, their wait had finally come to an end.

It concerns the placement of those three brilliant scientists from the White Eagle Federation.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom highly values ​​the three genius scientists who are personally recruited only after being recognized by Qin Huanyu, and the relevant departments have provided them with very favorable resettlement conditions.

Aside from the fact that their families should ideally not leave the capital, the Holy Zhou Kingdom can basically meet all reasonable material needs for the three of them.

However, those who truly love science and exploring the truth do not have high demands for material things; what they want most is an excellent research environment.

In response, the relevant departments were very generous, personally taking the three scientists to visit several top research institutions in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, saying that they could choose whichever one they wanted to work for.

However, after the actual visit, the three scientists were very disappointed—the researchers in the institute were far behind them in terms of both knowledge and creative ideas, and it would be very difficult for them to cooperate.

The three genius scientists looked down on the abilities of ordinary researchers, and those researchers also looked down on the three white eagles who had come from the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

After multiple unsuccessful mediations, the relevant department head finally realized that Qin Huanyu was probably the only person in the country capable of supervising these three brilliant scientists and ensuring they worked properly.

Chapter 210 Ayu and Qunqun's Little Secret

It was perfectly reasonable for Qin Huanyu to take charge of the people she recruited herself, and she readily accepted the responsibility of managing the three White Eagle scientists, which relieved the relevant departments.

Qin Huanyu was indeed very suitable to manage those three White Eagle scientists.
