He's obviously the villain, but the heroine is all for him?

After listening to Xiaoxi's brief report, Lingyun was also very impressed by Bai Mu.

What a man he was. He scolded the Black Princess in front of so many guards and lovers. No wonder he died so miserably.

Tsk, Ling follows the idea of ​​being friendly to his own people and striking hard at the enemies. The Black Princess treats him quite well, giving him gifts and titles. She may be a little ugly in appearance, but she has a good heart.

What's wrong with playing tricks on her? She's not his wife anyway, so Ling will just pretend he doesn't know.

There is an old lady in her 70s in Longguo who is in love with a group of middle-aged men in their 40s. Some of them even remain single for her whole life and wait until her three marriages end and she finally gets married. That's because she is charming.

But if a woman like this falls in love with Ling Yun, she would be an enemy.

Zhu Qian was still lying on the table, her legs trembling, her petals slightly opening and closing, and a lot of white liquid could be vaguely seen inside.

"Don't waste it, absorb it well."

Zhu Qian clamped her legs together and began to circulate the power in her body, absorbing all of Ling Yun's essence.

"Hmm!"

She suddenly made another strange sound, and Ling Yun hurried over to check the situation.

A dark red light began to emit from Zhu Qian's chest, and then several strange characters appeared.

The moment the characters appeared, her entire aura suddenly increased!

In just a few seconds, her level soared to level 3, 9 stars, just one step away from level 4!

If the other girls knew about this, they would probably be jealous to death.

Now, except for the little fox who has been upgraded to level 4, the other girls are all stuck at 8~9 stars. Zhu Qian was originally behind, but now she has caught up.

Those characters gradually gathered into a rune on her chest. When the rune was completed, Zhu Qian looked at Ling Yun.

"I feel like I'm filled with strength!"

Zhu Qian's mind moved, and the rune flashed with light. The color of her eyes also changed from black to light gold.

In this state, even a high-star level 4 alien would find it difficult to break through her defense!

"Try again!"

Zhu Qian didn't care about being naked. She picked up the shield from the corner and put it on her hand. Her eyes full of fighting spirit stared at Ling Yun: "I want to test myself now!"

Ling Yun casually attacked, and Zhu Qian tried her best but was still shaken and took a few steps back.

Ling Yun was slightly surprised. It seemed casual just now, but his strength was already close to level 5!

If it were an ordinary level 3 card, it would most likely be killed instantly by this attack!

His strength was very precise and would not hurt Zhu Qian. At most, it would make her a little embarrassed, just like an adult gently knocking a child down.

"How much force did you use just now?" Zhu Qian stood up straight, her eyes sharp.

"Level 4 limit."

In order to prevent her from being overly proud, Ling Yun restrained himself a little.

"It seems that I can still fight against an enemy that is one level higher than mine!"

Zhu Qian was very happy. In this way, she could become the strongest shield for everyone in the level 4 monster stronghold!

She put down her shield, walked over to Ling Yun and hugged him.

"No wonder the sisters have made such rapid progress, your stuff is really effective!"

Seeing her so happy, Ling Yun swallowed what he wanted to say.

The reason why she improved so much was because her rare dragon bloodline was activated!

The original bloodline is dormant in her body, and even a little bit of it leaking out can give her a strong physique.

After being catalyzed by Lingyun's essence, her bloodline was completely activated, and her talent was strengthened, from "as solid as a rock" to "indestructible"!

[Indestructible (Gold)]: The dragon bloodline is fully stimulated, greatly improving defense without sacrificing offensive ability. There is a chance to stun the opponent when parrying.

Now Zhu Qian not only has strong defensive capabilities, but also has certain proactive offensive capabilities.

According to Zhu Qian's strength, an ordinary long sword would probably be too light, so Ling Yun planned to get her a heavy sword as a means of attack.

That afternoon, he took the girls to the Chamber of Commerce.

Almost everyone in the entire Prison Flame City knew him, the newly appointed baron, and when he walked, the common people would make way for him.

Ling Yun didn't like the feeling of clear class division, but these ideas were deeply rooted in the hearts of every citizen in the empire, and it would take time to correct them.

The other women were used to it and even enjoyed this preferential treatment.

The little fox is very well-adjusted and it is obvious that she has a very high status in the tribe.

With the blessing of his noble status, Ling Yun was invited to a secret room by the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, where he could choose good things that could not be bought outside.

"This is our family's spear! How did it get here?"

When the girls were choosing their favorite equipment, Ji Qiangwei instinctively lifted the blanket covering the spear in the corner and saw the long spear of Ji Chang that she had been thinking about day and night!

The boss of the Chamber of Commerce came over, rubbing his hands together, and said with a smile, "So you're the daughter of the Ji family. This gun was brought back from outside the city by a card player, who later sold it to us."

With the demise of the Ji family, this spear was taken away by foreign races and then came back in circles.

"How much?" Although the gun originally belonged to the Ji family, they also spent money to buy it back, so there is no question of who owes whom.

"No, since you are a descendant of the Ji family, this gun is given to you."

The Chamber of Commerce boss was very smart. He knew that Ling Yun would definitely spend money here today. The profit was enough for him to make a fortune, and it would be best if he could make a good relationship with him.

Ji Qiangwei excitedly grasped the legendary weapon, and looked at Ling Yun with her beautiful eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Take it, this gun is destined to be with you."

"Thanks……"

This ancestral spear has always been a concern for Ji Qiangwei, but now, she has no regrets at all.

The other women also chose suitable equipment.

Bai Mengzhu's longbow was enough, so he chose an enchanted quiver that could automatically recharge.

Bai Wanlu chose an exquisite staff, which enabled her to achieve twice the result with half the effort when casting blessings and healing.

Ji Qiangwei got the spear she had always dreamed of, and the little fox bought a beautiful bracelet.

Zhu Qian not only chose a set of inner armor, but also equipped herself with a heavy sword at Ling Yun's suggestion.

This heavy sword has blades on both ends and the blade is dark red, which matches the color after her bloodline is activated.

The sword was very heavy, and even Ji Qiangwei had difficulty holding it, but it was just right for Zhu Qian.

She didn't need to swing the sword frequently, it just gave her an additional means to fight the enemy.

Ling Yun spent a lot of money this time and asked the boss to keep an eye out. If he came across equipment suitable for the women, please notify him. The other party readily agreed.

After they came back, Linzhi saw their changes and blamed Lingyun for not taking her with him, otherwise she would have been able to get a much lower price.

In order to thank Linzhi for her hindsight, Lingyun filled her up again.

In this way, Ling Yun has formed a legendary card team!

Each person has at least one piece of legendary equipment. Only large families or nobles can afford such a powerful team.

After resting in the villa for a day, Ling Yun saw that they were eager to try, so he took them to the territory of the Earth Crocodile Clan.

There are more than 20 ferocious level 4 earth crocodiles in total. Ling Yun would have hesitated before, but now he leads the team to attack directly!

Zhu Qian raised her shield and heavy sword and stood forward. Those crocodiles were unable to break through her defense!

Zhu Qian can fully unleash the power of her shield, turning it into a huge defensive barrier to protect the back row firmly without worrying about being broken by them due to expanding the defensive area and reducing the defensive strength.

These crocodiles are also feeling very frustrated. The opponent is obviously just a level 3 card, but it is as hard as a level 4 turtle shell!

Finally, with the joint efforts of the five women, they quickly wiped out this stronghold.

Three days later, after a bloody battle among the women, they all reached level 4.

The little fox Xianxue is level 4, 3 stars, and is always far ahead.

According to her description, she was originally a cultivator at the Xuanling Realm (Level 4), so there was a reason why her level increased so quickly.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the card world, she would have released her martial spirit and crushed those damn level 4 monsters long ago.

Ji Qiangwei followed closely behind with a level 4, 2-star rating, and the other three women were all 1-star.

When Ling Yun returned to Yuyan City, he heard a shocking news.

The Lord of Yuyan City is dead!

Chapter 182 The Immortal Doctor

The news of the death of the Lord of Yuyan City was so sudden that Ling Yun initially thought he had misheard.

However, he soon realized that in Bai Mu's background story, he was later appointed as the new lord of Yuyan City, and his mission goal was also to rule a city.

This means that something must have happened to the old city lord, otherwise there wouldn't be such a coincidence.

The old city lord had no grudges against Bai Mu or even himself, and he had made great military achievements. There was no reason for the empire to want to take him down.

Although the city lord is not young, he is still at the age of knowing his destiny. Either he dies in battle or retires due to illness. These are the two possibilities that Ling Yun can think of.

They ignored their tiredness and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, many white cloths were hung in the City Lord's Mansion, and the servants had sad expressions on their faces, with only a very few showing numbness.

The old city lord treats them well on a daily basis, so there are always people who are grateful and repay their kindness.

After learning that Ling Yun was coming, Li Qingqing appeared in front of them.

"Let's talk over here."

There was also some sadness in Li Qingqing's eyes. The city lord was her uncle, and they had shared weal and woe. They were not just contractors.

Arriving at a villa, Li Qingqing ordered the servants to bring tea and water. She sat beside Ling Yun and held his hand.

Li Qingqing did not follow him when he went out of the city to level up. With Lingyun as his guarantor, it was safer than if she were there.

"My uncle has long been infected with a curse."

"Alien?"

"Yes." Li Qingqing didn't hide it. "A few years ago, when I wasn't even a level 5 card player, several level 5 alien leaders united and prepared to form a large army to attack a city. A scout accidentally learned of this news and risked his life to deliver a letter to the city lord's mansion. Because the monsters were unprecedentedly powerful, and the alien leaders were extremely powerful, the city lord asked for help from the imperial capital, hoping that the royal family would send high-level card players to jointly resist this monster siege."

"My uncle had a good personal relationship with the city lord, so he took us to that city."

"That battle was the most brutal war I have ever experienced. Two of my uncle's aces fell one after another, and several A-rank card player teams were also annihilated in the chaos."

"The strongest alien leader is called the Rock King. He leads an army of rock monsters. He possesses resistant skin and is naturally resistant to magic. Ordinary bows and arrows, or swords, would hardly leave much of a mark on him."

"In the end, it took the combined efforts of four aces and dozens of level 4 cards to severely injure and drive it away, but they all paid the price with their lives..."

Li Qingqing calmly described the battle, and the women all felt the cruelty in her words.

"That battle was a bitter victory. Although my uncle no longer had any trump cards, the Empire, recognizing his military achievements, retained his position as city lord."

"It was also because of that battle that Sun Ya and I were able to level up by leaps and bounds. After all, there were monsters everywhere, and those who survived basically had greatly increased their strength."

"The Empire didn't think defending the city was anything glorious, so they did everything they could to suppress public opinion, and not many people outside knew about it."

"My uncle was also cursed by a Level 5 Plague Tree King. If this curse were unleashed on us, it would only last for a short while, but for a card player like my uncle who has no level, it would be a sure kill."

"This curse was cast by the Plague Tree King at the cost of his own level. It is almost impossible to break, and it has a very long incubation period. By the time my uncle discovered it, it was already this year."

"He knew that nothing could cure his illness, so he began to make friends and secretly help many young talents, hoping to do something for Prison Flame City."

"When he learned that you might possess the ability to ignore corruption points, he took the initiative to bring this up with us. He hoped that after his passing, Prison Flame City would remain the impenetrable Prison Flame City it once was, and that the people would live in peace and contentment without worrying about interference from foreign races."

After listening to this, Ling Yun looked at the servants busying around outside the courtyard and asked, "So, you actually knew he would die a long time ago?"

"Xiaoya and I both knew that his health was getting worse...but he was so energetic yesterday, and then he passed away that night."

"Where is Miss Sun now?"

"She's accompanying her uncle."

Ling Yun followed Li Qingqing to the mourning hall. The other women went back first. It was not convenient for them to get involved in such matters.

Sun Ya didn't cry. She squatted aside, hugging her legs. Her petite body curled up into a ball, looking extremely pitiful.

Her eyes were red, but she still stubbornly held back her tears. However, her eyes were empty and lifeless, having lost their luster.
