"well--"

A sigh fell from the clouds, ancient and distant, like the tolling of an ancient temple bell, slowly echoing between heaven and earth.

Seven-colored mist rose above Prince Heng's head, like smoke and fog, rising gently upwards.

The mist gathered and surged in the air, transforming into a seven-colored auspicious cloud. The cloud then slowly closed, finally condensing into a human shape.

An old Taoist priest with a cow-nose nose, dressed in hemp clothing, had a gaunt face, slightly closed eyes, and was surrounded by a faint glow.

It wasn't the male prostitute himself.

It was just an illusion.

Prince Heng, however, grasped at this last straw and shouted sharply:

"Imperial Advisor, save me!"

Everyone on the ground stared intently at the sky.

The Imperial Advisor finally appeared.

His entrance was quite elegant, adorned with auspicious seven-colored clouds and exuding an air of otherworldly grace; he was clearly no ordinary person.

It remains to be seen how Huang Hun will decide – whether to let Prince Heng go or to fight the Imperial Advisor.

Bai Lu was even more captivating.

That imperial advisor is the son-in-law of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor.

What will dusk do?

Legend has it that the Emperor of the Twilight is the Human Emperor, but the Imperial Advisor is no ordinary figure either.

Could it be... that they'll exchange a knowing smile and let bygones be bygones?

An unexpected scene unfolded.

The Imperial Preceptor bowed respectfully towards dusk.

"Sir, it's been a long time."

Bai Lu's pupils dilated slightly.

Jiang Chaosheng stared indifferently at the phantom of the Cowherd, his eyes devoid of emotion, only showing a faint disappointment.

The evil Qilin died, and the Cowherd did not appear to save the day.

Prince Heng was about to be killed by himself, and the Cowherd still only sent out a phantom.

He wanted to take in the cowherd, but the cowherd was too timid.

To be honest, Jiang Chaosheng wasn't sure if he could be a match for the male prostitute.

But the Cowherd was clearly more uncertain than him.

The Cowherd bowed again, his posture very humble:

"Sir, could you please do me the honor and let Prince Heng go?"

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head:

"You've used your face once. There won't be a second time."

The cowherd's smile froze.

......

Li Yaoling looked at the incredulous Xie Yujiao and scoffed:

"Even the Imperial Advisor doesn't have much face in front of the Lord of Twilight."

I thought this imperial advisor was some big shot, haha! His reputation isn't even as good as that shoe insole.

Jin Meiting did not speak.

She looked at Jiang Chaosheng, her eyes filled with adoration and love, which had transformed into a pool of spring water, rippling in her beautiful eyes.

......

Abnormalities Management Bureau, Director's Office.

Cao Ye stared at the screen, his eyes shifting between light and shadow.

He slowly lit a cigarette, gazing at the ceiling. The smoke swirled in the lamplight, like a knot of unresolved worries.

He could tell that the Imperial Advisor was very wary of Hunhun and didn't even dare to show his face.

Cao Ye exhaled a puff of smoke and murmured:

"The Human Emperor..."

A self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

ridiculous.

He also wanted the Grand Preceptor and Twilight to check and balance each other.

It turns out... I was just overthinking things.

.....

The skies above Dongpu City.

Prince Heng cried out in a panic, his voice already trembling with tears:

"Imperial Advisor, save me!"

The Cowherd ignored him.

He looked at Jiang Chaosheng, his tone becoming more serious:

"Sir, Prince Heng is very important to the Way of Peace."

I hope...we can be friends.

Jiang Chaosheng stared at the phantom figure in hemp clothing, his gaze as cold as frost on a winter night:

"Being your friend is a bit too dangerous."

Dongpu is not far from the South China Sea.

Without Niulang's authorization, how dare Ao Bai come here to cause trouble?

Prince Heng's appearance at Dongpu was itself a test.

The male prostitute was testing his reaction, testing his bottom line, testing his state.

Now that he has appeared, is the Cowherd going to take Prince Heng away?

That male prostitute has far too much influence.

The Cowherd was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice:

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Jiang Chaosheng plays with flavors:

"If your true form appears, I might consider it."

The cowherd was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Chaosheng in disbelief.

He was testing the twilight—but wasn't the twilight also testing him?

If dusk does not appear tonight, it means that dusk's condition has deteriorated significantly.

Similarly, the fact that Prince Heng was defeated by Jiang Chaosheng, and that his true form did not appear, also indicates that he was wary of Hunhun.

The Cowherd was indeed wary of dusk.

The Dream Island incident, where Twilight took in the left eye of the Deceitful and Treacherous, is quite telling.

Deceitful and cunning... even with only one left eye, he is not someone ordinary beings can provoke.

Only a madman like Xie Qilin would think of using his cunning and treacherous left eye to do something incredibly stupid.

The ultimate bliss?

He deserved to die.

The Cowherd spoke softly, his voice carrying a hint of indescribable emotion:

"It turns out that not all managers are as honest and simple as Brother Fan."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Jiang Chaosheng's eyes.

He himself was unaware of his displeasure.

The "honest and simple" that the cowherd mentioned was not a compliment.

He was saying that Fan Xiliang was an idiot.

Jiang Chaosheng could ridicule Fan Xiliang and mock Li Qinglian, but he couldn't do the same to others.

Being a manager is the only profession in the world. Although we've never met, we all know what we're dealing with.

A mad god, a lovestruck ghost, a dangerous and bizarre world.

People who have gone through similar experiences often feel a sense of sympathy for their exes.

The Cowherd raised his head, and his gaze changed.

It was no longer humility, no longer a test, but a naked threat:

"Sir, then... I want to take Princess Honeyflower with me."

She's just a minor character to you, and I don't think you need to completely fall out with me over her.

This is a family matter of the Taiping Dao (Way of Peace), so please don't be too domineering, sir.

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, yet every word was barbed.

If Jiang Chaosheng doesn't even give him face, it's like slapping Niulang in the face and declaring war on Taiping Dao.

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head:

"You're right. I really don't need to turn against the Taiping Dao so quickly for the sake of a Princess Honey Flower."

.....

Xie Yujiao's delicate body trembled violently.

So... they're coming for me after all?

Judging from the tone of the Lord of Twilight, he had no intention of protecting her.

Xie Yujiao seemed to have all his strength drained away. On the ground, they trembled incessantly with fear.

Her fingers were spasming, her nails digging into her palms and drawing blood, but she was completely unaware.

Jin Meiting looked at the sky in disbelief, then slowly smiled with relief.

As expected. In that person's eyes, profit comes first.

The Taboo Society is currently at a critical stage of development and should not start a war with the Way of Peace at this time.

Xie Yujiao swallowed hard, a resolute look appearing in his eyes.

She pulled a dagger from her pocket; the blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

Su Yubo, with sharp eyes, whispered a stern rebuke:

"What are you doing?!"

Xie Yujiao shook his head with a wry smile, his voice as soft as a wisp of smoke about to dissipate:

"I don't blame the Lord of Twilight for not protecting me... I really don't deserve it."

However, I would rather die than be tortured by the Imperial Preceptor.

The other witches looked conflicted.

The twilight of their faith is in jeopardy. She became a "witch".

Shouldn't they also obey God's will and hand over the witch?

They heard the cowherd say, "Then thank you very much, sir."

The witches saw the phantom of the cowherd floating towards them and instinctively formed hand seals.

Then they looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

So... this slut is actually a sister.

Just then, the sound of dusk echoed in the sky.

"But... there is no Princess Honey Flower here, only the Evil Jade Dragon. This is not a matter of the Taiping Dao, but my own family matter."

The witches were all taken aback.

Xie Yujiao raised his head in disbelief, looking at the indifferent face in the sky.

He...knows my name?

The cowherd's eyes twitched violently, and a hint of anger finally appeared in his voice:

"Twilight, do you really intend to be so domineering? Aren't you afraid of the Taiping Dao's retaliation?"

"From this day forward, the Taboo Society will wipe out all followers of the Taiping Dao."

The voice was like a judgment falling from the sky.

A cold smile slowly curved Jiang Chaosheng's lips:

"You think you're something special, a mere bull demon?"
