No Love

Fenghuang Qianyu took Wang Yuqi for a stroll around Jun Ling's palace.

Shi Tong and the officials in charge of the Jiuli Administrative Office immediately hid away when they saw them coming.

"I've decided: no more planning!"

Fenghuang Qianyu immediately stopped, and Wang Yuqi, who was following behind him, almost bumped into him. He lightly tapped his toes, quickly stopped, and asked in confusion:

"Master Yu, you have a solution."

"No."

"Then you said there's no need to calculate!"

"Based on my years of experience, I can infer that as long as you discuss official business with him, he will be furious!"

Fenghuang Qianyu said with certainty.

Wang Yuqi looked at Fenghuang Qianyu with disdain, snorted coldly, turned around and left, saying as he walked:

"If you can't think of a good solution, just say it. What kind of Yushuai are you if you point out other people's embarrassing things so bluntly?"

Fenghuang Qianyu looked at the gangster who left in disappointment, smiled smugly, and then trotted back to the inspection hall.

Arriving at the steps in front of the temple, he slowed down his pace and climbed up the steps carefully. When he reached the dragon pillar in front of the temple, he stopped, holding the pillar with one hand, and quietly took out a purple scroll from his bosom with the other hand. The scroll was embroidered with seven mythical beasts with different expressions. The positions of the mythical beasts on the scroll were arranged in the order of the seven-star pattern.

Fenghuang Qianyu thought for a moment, and then walked into the hall. As soon as one foot stepped over the threshold in front of the hall, a teapot flew up towards him!

Fenghuang Qianyu stretched out his other hand, took the teapot steadily, and said with a smile:

"Captain, I know you don't want that little rascal to be punished. You've already got the best of both worlds, so don't beat around the bush with me. Just tell me: Whatever you want me to do, I won't say no!"

"She failed her Machiavellian exam."

Zi Chen said indifferently,

“You have to make up the exam.”

Fenghuang Qianyu glanced at the scroll in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he silently put the scroll back into his arms. He also added some tea to the teacup that Zichen threw over.

He stood aside very tactfully and said helplessly: "I know, you are afraid that I will help her secretly! I am also protecting our... the little cat raised by the military. It's so chaotic outside..."

Zi Chen glanced at him indifferently and threw the purple seven-star bag of money that Wang Yuqi had returned to him. Fenghuang Qianyu reached out to catch it and immediately swallowed the words he had not finished.

"Take these and hand in the order."

Lord Zichen said coldly,

"Let's go now. There's no need to say goodbye to the little rascal. I'll take her back after the political exam is over."

Fenghuang Qianyu bowed respectfully. Although she was reluctant, she also understood that Lord Zichen had already made the biggest concession.

Since he said that he would take everyone back after the political exam, that was a decision: If anyone stood up to obstruct him again at that time, Lord Zi Chen would take the little gangster away even if it meant making an enemy of the whole world.

Fortunately, she was given everything she deserved.

Now, just go.

After Fenghuang Qianyu finished her ceremony, she slowly turned around. The whirlwind caused by her fluttering robe rolled up the fruits on Jun Tiemu's desk, and they formed a long line in the air and flew towards a pavilion deep in the garden of Jun Ling's palace.

There is a white jade round table in the pavilion, on which are placed a Tianhai jade teapot and four Tianhai jade tea cups.

The guards of the palace were walking over with fresh fruits. When they saw the fruit plate flying in the air, they all stopped.

The guards smiled at each other, then turned and left.

-

After Wang Yuqi left Fenghuang Qianyu, she did not go to see Shen Jiayi. She felt it would be more cost-effective to stay out of the spotlight.

After all, my clearance card came back so smoothly! If those guys in the court were to haggle with me, it would be a headache!

What's more, Tie Suanpan didn't know that the seal of the Heavenly Fire had been loosened.

If I knew... and performed another soul-sacrifice ceremony, would my mission be accomplished or not?

Hard to calculate!

Then, don’t see him!

He stopped jumping up and down!

After Wang Yuqi thought it over, she asked the guards to prepare some fruits and vegetables for her at the Star-Picking Pavilion in the garden, and she went to the Xingyuan Pavilion to take a bath instead.

Wang Yuqi, who came out of Xingyuan Pavilion, was wearing a simple light purple robe with a dark pattern of cloud silk and bamboo shadows and plum blossoms. She was wearing satin shoes of the same color.

A head of wet hair, scattered messily on the shoulders.

She had willow-leaf eyebrows that were as narrow as a knife, with the tails slightly upturned, a tall nose that was full of three-dimensionality, and a pair of eyes as pure as a deer, clean and pure, as if two of the brightest stars were embedded in them.

From Xingyuan Pavilion to Zhaixing Pavilion, there is a corridor. Outside the corridor is the garden landscape arranged by the great craftsman.

There are small bridges, flowing water, jagged rocks, and even flowers and plants from heaven decorating the place.

The jade tree is an indispensable decorative tree in all the palaces in heaven.

There are many types of jade trees with various colors, among which crystal jade trees are the most noble species in the jade tree family. This type of jade tree is not only beautiful but also edible.

The newly sprouted buds of the jade tree can be eaten raw. They are not only sweet but also rich in celestial spiritual energy. They are a common snack in the homes of many noble celestial beings.

The stems of jade plant can be used as medicine, and its medicinal effect is naturally to replenish spiritual energy!

Along the winding corridors are the fairy flowers from heaven that bloom all day long.

The branches of the tree are luxuriant and the flowers are even more beautiful when mixed with green leaves and branches. Some branches extend through the railings into the corridor.

Wang Yuqi, who was walking slowly in the corridor, was now picking flowers and brushing willows.

The guard Zhang Yanchun walked into the Star-Picking Pavilion carrying a food box and placed the four exquisite snacks in the box on top.

"Your Highness, Saint Ann."

Zhang Yanchun bowed.

Wang Yuqi nodded, walked in, leaned forward and sat on the stone bench, picked up a dessert, put it to her mouth, took a bite, and chewed slowly.

Zhang Yanchun held the food box and did not leave.

"Is something wrong?"

Wang Yuqi frowned slightly and said calmly,

"I have resigned my official title as the head of the government, and now it is just a sinecure."

"The official knows."

Zhang Yanchun said,

"I just want to ask Your Highness if you need a personal guard during your stay, can you consider me?"

"Why?"

Wang Yuqi was in the imperial city, and she never lacked people to serve her. She didn't consider such trivial matters.

There is inevitably a hint of doubt about this woman's request today.

"Your Highness, you are a woman. In many cases, you need female officials to serve you in some trivial matters of life."

Zhang Yanchun said slowly,

"Especially here, the ladies serve Your Highness more attentively than the careless men. Not only am I careful, but I am also very good at martial arts. Of course, I know Your Highness is better at martial arts. However, some things are better left to me."

Wang Yuqi smiled, slowly finished the snack in her hand, then took a bite of the crispy dates on the plate and said lightly:

"You are very brave. However, self-recommendation is not in accordance with your rules. Besides, I am just an idler without any position. Protecting me should be the concern of your king. Although, Your Highness, I am not very familiar with the palace rules and regulations, but I still respect my little brother's decision."

Zhang Yanchun was silent for a moment, then smiled, bowed again and said:

"Your Highness, I am not recommending myself."

Wang Yuqi: "..." That's easy. He can transfer you back the same way he sent you here.

"Oh, I see. If there's nothing else, you can do something else."

Zhang Yanchun saluted again and said solemnly: "Your Highness, my name is Zhang Yanchun. If Your Highness does not mind my abruptness, I will definitely be able to do the job of protecting Your Highness."

After saying this, Zhang Yanchun retreated respectfully.

A moment later, Shen Jiayi came over quickly, and when she saw Wang Yuqi with wet hair, her eyebrows darkened immediately. She walked behind her calmly, gently held her hair with her hands, and her fingertips slowly flowed out a light wave, separating the water attached to her hair.

Then, he used his five fingers to make a comb and gently combed her hair until the moisture on her head had completely dissipated. Only then did he move to the side and sit down.

He picked up the grapes in one hand and a white jade needle with cloud pattern in the other, picked out the grapes one by one, then used the jade needle to pick out the grape skins and placed them on the imperial plate in front of Wang Yuqi.

"How many guards did you bring with you on your duty as Star Lord this time?"

"Single soldier."

Shen Jiayi asked slowly, and Wang Yuqi answered without hiding anything.

"Snapped."

Shen Jiayi slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Wang Yuqi, with the overall pitch of her voice raised to the highest level, enough to show how angry she was at the moment:

"Do you know what you are doing? A single soldier? Do you think this is... my brother's palace? This is the Heavenly Spirit Realm! It is a place where gods and ghosts cruise and monsters live. How many people have led millions of troops and returned in defeat? A single soldier? What do you want to do?!"

Wang Yuqi looked at the furious Shen Jiayi, grinned mischievously, then picked up the grapes from the plate and stuffed them into her mouth!

"Didn't Lord Zichen accompany you to serve as the Star Lord on Duty?"

Shen Jiayi was discouraged. This girl always makes me angry!

"I feel much more at ease knowing that he is protecting you."

"What are you thinking about!"

Wang Yuqi looked at him with contempt.

"I don't know what single soldier means?"

"you……"

Shen Jiayi mentioned that the tone had been fixed.

"Who will protect you?"

“You are not a human being!”

Wang Yuqi glared at him with disdain.

Shen Jiayi was completely furious. He pointed at Wang Yuqi with a trembling voice. He understood better than anyone what kind of beings the creatures in his jurisdiction were!

He has not even regained power now! He is just a promoted person who made meritorious contributions while serving his sentence!

If he makes a mistake in the promotion test for the Heaven and Earth Star Dragon and Tiger Ranking, his three bodies will disperse again, and his real body will return to the dark abyss!

How could he take her there!

Do not!

I can endure any punishment, but you can't!

"You have fought with the Four Prime Ministers, so you should know how powerful they are. Each of them has a huge force hidden in all levels of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Even I have to act according to their wishes at times!"

"What does it have to do with me!"

Wang Yuqi said coldly, and while speaking, she reached out to grab the white jade needle from Shen Jiayi's hand. Shen Jiayi dodged it with her backhand, sat down angrily, and continued to peel grapes.

"Just eat them and I'll peel the grapes."

Shen Jiayi's tone also softened, although her voice was a little lower, it still contained anger.

"Go ask Lord Zichen for a few guards later. I'm worried about you being on duty alone."

Shen Jiayi warned,

"The people in the Holy Land Military Department are all highly skilled in martial arts, well-educated and far-sighted. Their ability to deal with situations is incomparable to that of ordinary politicians."

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Wang Yuqi's smile did not reach her eyes.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Shen Jiayi glared at him and exposed his shortcomings without hesitation.

"You always rank last in every exam. How dare you say you are from the Holy Land Military!"

"You did quite well in the exams! You always managed to get into the top ten. You still managed to stay in the dark abyss for ten thousand years!"

Wang Yuqi retorted.

"I am working for the benefit of all people in the world!"

"The people of the world are still alive, but this person is completely dead."

"I am now three bodies in one. I have flesh and blood, a name tag, and a job. I am not a dead person!"

"That's a dying man."

"I say, you little bastard, where did you learn etiquette? You talk to your brother like that!"

Shen Jiayi stood up again.

"I am you... you are my junior brother, as my elder brother, you must not be disrespectful!"

"When did I admit that you are my senior brother?"

Wang Yuqi smiled and said indifferently,

"Iron Abacus, where is the evidence? Show it to me."

"Okay, okay, if you say no, I'll say yes."

Shen Jiayi looked at the unreasonable girl, just stood up and sat back down, picked up a snack and handed it to her.

"Will I be able to speak if I'm not angry?"

"Then let's not talk about business."

Wang Yuqi thought for a moment, held her chin up to look at Shen Jiayi, and said seriously,

"I was admitted to the Holy Land Military Department through fair and square examinations. I didn't get in through connections."

"Tell your brother the emperor, he should believe you."

Shen Jiayi picked up the jade pot and poured her a cup of Lingbo Jade Liquid. The crystal clear jade liquid exuded a refreshing fragrance.

He didn't believe that the girl had entered the Holy Land Military Department. He always thought that the people in the Holy Land Military Department wanted to win over the master and senior brothers, and deliberately brought the girl in.

Although the people under my jurisdiction are not some peaceful world in heaven, if I carefully sort out the differences, there will come a day when all people in the world will live in peace and be as close as one family.

Before this wish comes true, let’s first settle the girl’s matter.

"If you are embarrassed to tell Lord Zichen, I will mention it to him."

Wang Yuqi smiled, smoothed her long hair from her face, and sneered:

"Iron Abacus, have you never been to the Inspection Hall since you came back?"

Shen Jiayi nodded.

"No wonder."

Wang Yuqi continued,

"All our government affairs are finished. Even the paperwork for the reply has been processed. The only thing left for me is the duty of the Star Lord on Duty. Don't think that I will be honest and stick to the crappy job of the Star Lord on Duty to the end."

"To be honest: I'm just here for formalities."

A trace of shock flashed across Shen Jiayi's eyes, but she was afraid to disturb the girl who was talking nonstop. She pretended to be puzzled and glanced at Wang Yuqi, just a glance.

"This world is not my world, and the people are not my people. My subjects are not loyal to me. Oh, and they are not loyal to you either. So, according to the regulations: I, as the Star Lord on duty, have arrived at the Star Court Mansion in Jiuzhou Spirit Realm on time to report.

As for whether I can get along with the deacons, leaders, and ministers there, it all depends on how they treat me.

They took good care of me, so I just did my job impartially and gave them all the benefits and favors that they deserved."

Wang Yuqi paused for a moment, picked up a peach and started eating it. Shen Jiayi just sat there silently peeling grapes for him.

After she finished eating a peach, Shen Jiayi asked:

"And vice versa?"

Wang Yuqi continued, "On the contrary? It's just a game of reconciliation. What awaits them are those deduction notices that are in line with the laws of nature and human ethics."

Shen Jiayi frowned, and Wang Yuqi hurriedly explained: "I am just doing my job! I am just the Star Lord on duty. As soon as my term is over, I will leave on my own. Even a few bean sprouts can't stop me. It would be too much trouble if I brought guards with me!"

Just business?

No humanity at all?
