Chapter 281: Chapter 274: Let's Go!
"I see..." Duan Li cupped his chin as he contemplated deeply.
From what Di Rou had just told him, the Empress was indeed the organizer for their competition before. The malfunctioning puppet causing it to become way more overpowered than normal was also the Empress's plan as well! This was in order to root out the 'hidden forces' that were currently gathering intelligence on the Jiu Empire!
From their investigations, these hidden forces were trying to uncover who the Imperial Overseer was, as well as the reason as to why the Jiu Empire decided to do it in the first place. However, not all of these hidden forces have the same agenda; some were just purely interested in knowing, but there were also others who were planning to cause harm!
"It seems that Bai Li from the Huan Empire got captured by my subordinate here..." Duan Li turned around and said to the trio as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Huh? Captured? For what?" they said in unison, evidently surprised. This was especially the case for both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.
After all, Bai Li was a top-notch assassin from the Huan Empire. If he wanted to disappear, it will be difficult for one to track him if he was not willing to be found! However, the possibility of him being captured still exist nonetheless, its just that they hadn't thought that this small Jiu Empire would have an expert of such caliber!
Not to mention that, this expert was right before their very eyes! In addition, to make their eyeball sockets popped out even more, this expert turns out to be the subordinate of this new friend of theirs!
Heavens! If he was older than his current age right now, we might have suspected him to be the Imperial Overseer instead for all of his incredible means!
"He was tailed after snooping around the Jiu Empire these past few days, gathering information for the identity of the soon to-be Imperial Overseer of the Jiu Empire. However, since he was only collecting intel and did nothing else, he will be released soon." Duan Li replied as he sighed.
I don't understand why people would make such a big deal out of me becoming the Imperial Overseer...
It's just being able to command where the rain should fall and where the lightning should strike, no?
Hais!
Zhang Liao that heard this pondered for a moment before he caught on to something. "It seems that I was right in my previous deduction. There are people who are planning to cause trouble right?"
"En, that seems to be the case! There are traces of people spreading false rumors to destabilize the empire! The Empress thus deduced that these hidden forces were up to no good. But, we still do not know as to what their actual plans and intentions are..." Duan Li answered.
"Hmmm..." everyone contemplated deeply on these series of shocking information with frowns.
After a moment, Duan Li shook his head, "Oh well, the Empire should be able to handle it. How about we talk some more?"
The party then went on as everyone made use of it to know each other better. It was not until near dawn that Duan Li finally returned to his residence court to have a good night sleep.
...
Early in the morning, Duan Li yawned as he stretched his back lazily. "Eh, they are probably already inside the Eternal Maze right now.." he said, recalling that all of his followers had abandoned him yesterday, leaving him all alone.
Suuu!
Queen Levy popped out from the spatial ring as she greeted Duan Li. "Husband, where are we going today?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
In her view, the current society of humans nowadays was wonderful and much more better than before. Back then, all she witnessed was that cultivators would usually lord over the common people like they were some kind of god.
Now however, both groups lived in harmony with each other. In fact, what surprised her the most was that, there were even laws that would punish cultivators that harrassed the common people!
Therefore, she was eager to explore more of this present era! It was as if she had discovered a new virgin land!
Meanwhile, hearing that he was still being called as 'Husband' by the latter, Duan Li could only sigh helplessly.
"We are going to the Jixue Knights Academy today!" Duan Li answered.
Hearing this reply, Queen Levy pouted her mouth. "That's not a fun place to go! An academy is like a sect right? Why would we go there?"
"What else? Of course its to learn! As a matter of fact, if you did not realize yet, I am a student of this academy okay?" Duan Li was becoming a little bit exasperated with this woman.
What fun? Do you think that I am your father that will bring you to a theme park?
Is she really several millenniums old? Why does it feel like I am babysitting a child?
Queen Levy tilted her head to the side with furrowed brows. "Husband, just what is there to learn in the academy? You are already stronger than most Nascent Soul realm cultivators!" she said, unable to comprehend Duan Li's reasoning.
"..." Duan Li was shocked. He then cupped his chin and nodded in realization.
Well.. she is right about that..
"Still, its not appropriate for me to continue on being absent! Who knows if the teachers will get angry at me for being absent for a long time right after enrolling?" Duan Li replied and felt a little bit guilty.
Initially, he was supposed to be learning with the other juniors like the normal students out there, but who could have thought that his journey would turn out this way instead?
Hais!
"If they dared as to even speak loudly in front of you, I will slit their throat and.."
Bam!
Duan Li kicked her by her bottom which sent her flying into the pond outside, creating a huge splash. The mutated Koi fishes then swiftly swarmed and assaulted her as they picked up the scent of worms from Queen Levy.
"Ahhh! What is wrong with these fish? Why are they eating my clothes? Noooo!" she screamed tragically.
As her nature was that of a worm, she had natural fear towards fish. Therefore, coupled with the aggressiveness of the fish, she could not summon even an ounce of strength to fight back, flailing in panic like a powerless girl.
Duan Li then left her and found Bulu, sitting cross-legged atop of a boulder where Shen Murong always cultivate.
"Hmm.. this fellow is even cultivating like a human now.."
Giving the other party a few pointers as to how to properly cultivate, as well as imparting several move sets of a martial artist, Duan Li then left him to his own devices.
"Di Rou!" Duan Li called out, of which the other party suddenly stood up from a nearby bush.
"Summon Cucko, Daelius and the others!" Duan Li instructed with a cool wave of his hand.
Suuu!! Ssuuu!!
It didn't take long before the small Fenrir and huge packs of chicken flooded out the entire courtyard, which made Duan Li's brows twitched.
What is this? Their numbers.. seemed to have grown en masse!
There must be several dozens of them here!
Noticing the stupefied look of her lord, Di Rou swiftly explained, "These mutated chickens seemed to have an explosive copulating abilities than normal. Every single one of these are their offsprings in one way or another.."
Hearing this, Duan Li almost keeled over to the ground on his face.
What the heck? I just left for more than a week and they already reproduced this much?
In a month, no, in one year, wouldn't I have myself an army of chickens?!
I am afraid that Xiahou Yu might found herself being unable to control her evil desire at this rate...
"This... What do we do with all of these... Chickens..." Duan Li asked as he felt a headache.
"Please don't worry my Lord. I think I have found a good use for them!" Di Rou confidently said.
She then explained that these chickens happened to have an extremely long range telepathic ability between their species!
Thus, she proposed that they used them as an intelligence unit to gather all sorts of information around the Tian continent!
Pah!
Duan Li slapped himself in the face, thinking that he was dreaming.
Since when did these chickens become so formidable?
Hais!
He then left the matter to Di Rou to handle as he was not well-versed in such field. Taking Daelius the Fenrir with him, he then headed out to the academy.
