My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

When the parties among the various departments were in full swing, the lobbyists of the nobles arrived unexpectedly.

The mouthpieces hired by these stakeholders came in a hurry, but when everyone gathered, they did not act rashly.

After the departments dispersed, lobbyists swarmed in like flies, explaining the reasons, stirring up trouble, tempting people with benefits, using their power... They used all kinds of methods to try to calm the matter down.

Leah and Fei Xin were not ignored in the whirlpool.

"inappropriate."

Inside the restaurant, Fei Xin coldly retorted the lobbyist who had invited her here, "I won't give up. Serkar has become so corrupt and deteriorating because of you black sheep. Now you're colluding with the Lustful Blood Cult to defend the Rejuvenating Cream. How shameless!"

The lobbyist who was criticized was not angry.

"I knew this wouldn't be so easy. There's no point wasting your time on something you didn't hold out for anyway," the lobbyist said loudly. "You're in good spirits. I hope what happens next won't put you off. We'll see."

Chapter 290 Tears

News of the factory raid was delivered to Wingard in the early hours of the next morning.

When Wen Jiade heard that multiple departments were jointly enforcing the law, and even the Geo-audit Bureau was involved, he almost fainted.

One's own business is clear. The purification of the Rejuvenating Cream requires the power of the earth's veins. Without this power as a buffer to disperse and divert resentment, the Rejuvenating Cream cannot be commercially used. That's why he built a production line beneath the factory. While he publicly claimed to be using the earth's veins to power the factory, he was actually secretly using the power of the earth's veins to power the underground production line.

In the western part of Serkar, he has many dens for purifying the anti-aging cream, all of which are disguised as ordinary factories, secretly collecting the anti-aging cream sent from other channels.

If the earth vein power misappropriated from these places is investigated, he will definitely not be able to escape.

He immediately asked someone to prepare a car, intending to meet the elders and find a way to survive.

The carriage was ready, but before it left his yard, a man blocked the way.

"Where is Mr. Wingard going in such a hurry at this early hour?"

The voice sounded very familiar. The carriage was forcibly stopped. The magic swordsman wearing mithril armor opened the carriage door and looked at Wingard politely.

The visitor was extremely handsome, with silver hair and blue eyes, a long sword at his waist, and his entire body dressed in silver-white. His tone was leisurely and gentle. His voice seemed to have a magical power that made those who listened to him feel relaxed and relieved.

When he saw this man, Wingard's uneasiness was forcibly suppressed. He put on a smile and asked, "Edmund, was it Lord Hengfeng who sent you here?"

"Yes, the elder summoned me and said you were in trouble, so he asked me to bring you over."

Edmund took a few steps back and opened a temporary portal. Opposite was Elder Hengfeng's living room.

He squatted down and drew in the air with his fingers, erasing the driver's memory of him.

Wen Jiade did not dare to hesitate. After glancing at Edmund who was still busy, he walked straight through the portal and met Elder Hengfeng.

Elder Hengfeng has completed the reconstruction of his body and has become one of the spokespersons for the wind element. Legend has it that he often stays in the Yunchao Nest, traveling with the endless gales in the form of magical wind, and experiencing the essence of wind.

The body that met Wingard at this time was his temporary body.

He was once human, but his reconstructed body leaned towards that of an air genasi, pale and frail, his hair fluttering in the nonexistent breeze, as if he could vanish into the wind at any moment.

Seeing Wen Jiade, Hengfeng snorted coldly: "You have caused a great disaster."

The majestic voice that was inconsistent with his appearance was like a cold winter wind, overwhelming Wen Jiade.

He knelt there and begged for mercy from Hengfeng.

"I was negligent and deserve death if caught. However, considering that I have always served you wholeheartedly, I beg you to show mercy and point out a way to save me."

Hengfeng intended to hold him accountable, and Wen Jiade understood that he needed to lower his posture and move closer to him.

The more humble and self-deprecating you are at this time, the more likely you are to find a way out.

Edmund happened to come through the portal. Seeing this, he spoke well of Wingard: "Sir, Wingard was diligent and responsible in the past, and his annual tribute was not less than the minimum. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Moreover, he has such a large foundation under his control, so he should not give up easily."

Hengfeng asked coldly, "Can he be saved?"

"His life or death depends entirely on your will," Edmund replied respectfully.

Wen Jiade's life or death depended entirely on Elder Hengfeng's decision. If he had chosen to save him, Wen Jiade would have survived, and many parties would have given him face. However, if he chose to save Wen Jiade, it would have meant exposing their relationship to the public. He would no longer be considered neutral, and would have lost certain interests.

Moreover, Wen Jiade originally had the opportunity to achieve extraordinary success and become an elder, but after being attacked, his future was completely cut off and he could only rely on himself.

Besides, Wen Jiade's profession is unconventional, and some extreme means can be used to allow him to gain almost extraordinary combat power, which may be useful in the future.

Elder Hengfeng made a quick decision. He said, "Wen Jiade can still be saved. As for how to save yourself, you can figure it out for yourself."

After Elder Hengfeng disappeared, Wen Jiade stood up with a sense of relief.

There is a way out.

He sincerely thanked Edmund: "Thank you. Do you have any idea how to deal with this matter?"

Edmund smiled gently.

"Do you know Mr. Renahu?"

"I heard something."

"This Mr. Fox was renowned for his wisdom back in the Kingdom of Glory. He's been in Serkar for a short time now, and many of his friends have already benefited from his help. Why don't we make friends with him? More friends means more opportunities."

Wingard was stunned and looked at Edmund in disbelief.

If you give this deadly information to outsiders, you will die!

But after being surprised, Wingard began to worry again, wondering if this Edmund knew some information that he didn't know.

Due to the asymmetry of intelligence, Wingard agreed to go find Lenahu.

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

So the two of them set out together, their destination being the embassy of the Rongguan Kingdom.

----

In the next few days, there were no more disturbances. Fei Xin stayed at home peacefully, her life and routine being the same as usual, including sword practice and fitness.

There were no lobbyists to bother her, and everything was calm and peaceful, to the point of being eerie.

On the morning of the fourth day, Fei Xin woke up early and browsed the newspaper, and the eye-catching big words immediately jumped into her sight.

The "Meise" brand has launched new products, the "Life Red" series, which gives users an unprecedented youthful experience.

[The truth is revealed!!! For the first time, Wingard has acknowledged that Mei Se is a product of his own company. Master alchemist Mr. Zhe Dan reveals the "honey syrup" ingredient in Mei Se. This ingredient is a magical potion painstakingly developed by the master over decades. It has been sent to a professional institution for testing and has been found to be harmless and indeed has the effect of prolonging youth.]

It was like a blow to the head. Fei Xin felt dizzy and her head was buzzing.

How is this going! ?

How come just a few days later, public opinion suddenly took a 180-degree turn?

“Viya, Viya!”

Fei Xin felt a tightness in her chest and shouted Noita's name loudly.

Noita noticed the strong irritability and pain in the voice, and hurried downstairs in her pajamas. She saw Fei Xin, who was a little breathless in the middle of the living room. She was bent forward, holding her stomach, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Noita took two steps at a time and went downstairs, straightening the girl up. She put her ear to Feixin's back and listened to her heartbeat, confirming that her heart was healthy. She then placed her palm on Feixin's lower abdomen, calmly confirming that the girl's stomach was fine before asking what happened.

Fei Xin, who was so angry that her stomach hurt, handed the newspaper to Noita and pointed at the two articles at the top, speechless.

Noita took a look and was also stunned.

Wen Jiade actually officially announced that Mei Se brand cosmetics are his products, and there is also the matter of sending raw materials for inspection. The anti-aging cream after being purified by the power of the earth veins does not have the smell of resentment, and it cannot be confirmed that this is the anti-aging cream.

Moreover, if the raw materials are sent for testing and no problems are found, it will undoubtedly provide an extra layer of assurance.

There's no way to question it now.

If others want the raw material formula, you can simply refuse to answer by saying it is a trade secret.

The most crucial thing is the change in the newspaper's tone and Zhedan's whitewashing, which are not things that can be easily changed.

Is it done on the physical level?

Noita remembers cases where people who didn't want damaging news about them to be published in newspapers asked someone to erase the relevant memories from the reporters' minds.

This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice in Gaia's history.

In order to confirm whether all the newspapers had the same story, Noita went to buy newspapers from other newspapers and found that the contents were similar. Although there was some mention of the anti-aging cream incident four days ago, none of them wrote about the role of the underground production line, and there was no mention of the purified refined anti-aging cream.

However, the newspapers also published extensive reports on the city guards destroying a number of unscrupulous anti-aging cream factories, praising them generously, and there will also be no shortage of subsequent commendations for the guards.

The newspaper reported everything except the most crucial connection.

A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Just a slight omission can make the meaning of the report completely different.

Even the Voice of the Mountains reported similar things.

Although the Listener's Guild is affiliated with the Adventurer's Association, its intelligence sources are still informants and reporters from all over the country, so it is inevitable that it will be affected.

Noita was amazed, but when she turned around, she saw the deep sadness in Feixin's eyes. The crystal light was swirling and rippling in this small window of her soul, as if it was about to flow down at any time.

She hadn't cried the day she was held captive by Noita, but now she was crying.

Chapter 291: Who to kill first?

This was the first time that Noita saw Fei Xin cry. In the past, she almost broke Fei Xin's heart, but she could still endure the pain and talk to Noita. Now, just a light piece of newspaper that could be bought with only three copper coins tore apart her psychological defenses and directly hurt the softest part of her heart.

The power of the path is surging, and the tranquil beauty of winter is being broken.

A chill emerged from the void, like the words of white snow, easily destroying everything around it. The animated furniture, bearing the brunt of the attack, fled away from the living room and took shelter in other rooms.

The extreme cold has arrived.

Because of the drastic change in Fei Xin's state of mind, she lost control of some of her power. The uncontrolled power distorted and expanded, causing extreme cold to come.

In short, she was devastated.

This is not a good thing.

Because a broken heart usually leads to unpredictable changes, or a change of course, or even sinking into depravity. Winter's sinking is eternal silence.

Noita leaned close to Fei Xin and gently wiped away the tears that overflowed from her eyes.

There was clearly a chilling power like winter, yet the tears were so unimaginably hot that not even the cold could freeze them.

Wiping away the tears from Fei Xin's face, white frost condensed on Noita's fingertips, as pure as the gloves of the Snow Girl.

She whispered, "Jade Heart, you are a good and virtuous person, but Serkar doesn't deserve your treatment. It has always been like this, expanding without restraint, inviting disaster, grandiose because of ambition, filthy because of desire."

Feixin focused her gaze on Noita's face and told her what was in her heart.

"I love it. I love Serkar. I grew up here. I'm blessed by it. It shouldn't be like this. It should be better."

"really?"

Fei Xin can answer questions, which means that she has not lost her mind and still has some control over her power.

She is still far from extinction.

This is a good thing, but she still needs to be stimulated.

Stimulating/emotional psychic hormones emanated from Noita's fingertips and flowed into her body with Jade Heart's breath.

Noita questioned loudly, "Have you seen the plight of the mountain people who have migrated from far away, and what kind of work they do? Do you know how the people in the outer city are exploited by gangs and merchant guilds? Do you know the depth of corruption among the officials in Serkar? How distorted is its order?"

There was a struggle on Fei Xin's face, and she seemed to be in even more pain.

"You don't know, Fei Xin, you only think about so-called love."

Fei Xin said painfully, "I know."

"Then you're just turning a blind eye. Since you've witnessed all this pain and sorrow, how could you be distressed by the gossipy tactics of the reports? You're just whining without any real reason!"

"No, that's not the case." Fei Xin grabbed Noita's hand with all her might, glared at her fiercely, and retorted harshly, "I know all this, I know everything, but I can change it, I really can. I have been hunting down Serkar's enemies, both internal and external. If I continue, one day I will solve everything. Micah also promised me that when I knock on the door of the extraordinary, she will help me become a Sky Patroller."

"Since you have made up your mind, why would you suffer so much and suffer so many setbacks on your path?"

"Because everything I do is in vain. No matter how much I investigate, what's the use? I can't do anything to Noita, and my efforts are overshadowed by the enemy's understated reports. I can't stand it." Fei Xin looked at Noita, and suddenly buried his head in her chest and burst into tears. "Viya, tell me what to do. Now even Zhedan, a remnant of the Bloodthirsty Cult, can openly publish in the newspaper. What should I do! I can kill the cultists and the villains, but I can't kill these guys who are helping the evil. The justice and legitimacy of all my actions are given by the Council of Elders, but now the elders are also helping the evil. Without the elders' permission, Zhedan will never be able to publish in the newspaper."

Noita straightened Fei Xin's head again with disgust and helped her wipe away her tears.

Her tears soaked her pajamas, it was so embarrassing.

Noita forced Feixin to look at her and said seriously, "Then kill them all."

Fei Xin was stunned: "Kill them all?"

"Kill them all, just like we killed the cultists. Anyone who dares to use tricks in secret will be killed. We won't tolerate this."

Noita's tone was firm. Although her appearance and expression were not ferocious, Fei Xin could sense the murderous intent in her eyes, as if she had already chosen the path of mountains of corpses and seas of blood and had made up her mind.
