Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World-Chapter 141.2
“Tell me who hired you, and promise never to take this task assignment in the future, then I will let you go. How about it?”
Shen Tong’s tone sounded casual, but while speaking, he almost unreservedly released the powerful pressure of the Demon Emperor Stage. Not to mention mortals, even the cultivators in the Golden Core Stage will also be unable to withstand this kind of pressure. The nine assassins along with the imperial guards immediately had a very hard time to remain standing on their feet, before finally becoming overwhelmed and falling onto their knees one by one.
But for some unknown reasons, Shen Tong’s zhenqi would always be greatly reduced when used on Han Ying. The system in the Desktop Pet world had even directly stipulated that his force was invalid against Gu Qiange. Not to mention that Shen Tong, specifically bypassed Yuwen Yin’s side when applying pressure. Therefore, when quite the large expanse of people quickly fell down onto their knees, only Yuwen Yin alone was left standing.
Shen Tong immediately jumped down from the tree, then landed on the ground as light as feather, before walking in front of everyone. The assassins really didn’t want to sacrifice their lives, as they regarded their lives to always be more important than their task. So, the Nine Demons naturally decided to abandon this time’s assassination task. So, he now spoke of everything that could be said: “We have no idea of the exact identity of the employer. The only thing we know is that the other party seems to be related to the Jiang family in the capital, offering 10,000 taels of gold.……”
The Jiang family is precisely the natal family of Qi Wangfei. Even Chen Wu and Xiong Wei, these two subordinates, would be able to roughly guess the cause and effect of this matter. Yet Yuwen Yin seemed to turn a deaf ear to this, and only continued to stare at his sweetheart, before unexpectedly taking the initiative to half kneel before him immediately afterwards.
Shen Tong’s feet were bare, without any footwear on. Yuwen Yin half knelt on the ground and carefully helped him brush off the speck of dust on his instep, with actions that was overflowing with tenderness and adoration. He then ripped off his robe and carefully spread it on the ground, letting the other step on that cloth spread on the ground, before finally instructing an imperial guard to bring over that undamaged spare carriage placed at the back of the convoy.
Those feet were like carved out from the finest mutton jade. Even the smooth, round and pink nails were enchanting and cute. The urge to bow and kiss it even emerged in Yuwen Yin’s mind. However, Chen Wu and Xiong Wei, who were looking at this scene from the sidelines, couldn’t help thinking that their master was really a master, and his method of drawing in the other was really clever.
Because describing the youth’s abilities with the word perfect wasn’t any exaggeration at all. If he can be convinced to protect the master throughout the way, then they wouldn’t need to worry, regardless of whatever danger may come. But this kind of expert was probably not someone any mere gold, silver, and jewels can acquire. So, the master humbled himself to win over the other side. This regard of making concessions in order to gain advantages, and being considerate and kind to men of talent, was definitely more effective than any other methods.
After Chen Wu and Xiong Wei broke free of their self-righteous thoughts, they saw that their master had already invited the ‘expert’ to board the carriage. Although the spare carriage was not as spacious as the one that had been destroyed, but lying down in the carriage was absolutely more comfortable compared to riding on horseback or travelling on foot. So, even though Shen Tong was still angry, he still got on the carriage for his sore waist and butt.
Of course, he still kept silent and maintained a cold attitude, in addition to donning on a displeased expression on his face, as well as exuding a chilly and lofty feeling from head to toe.
But as soon as Yuwen Yin stepped into the carriage, the similar layout and furnishings couldn’t help but make him reminisce of the affair they had just done. The deep fire of desire hidden at the bottom of his eyes rekindled, as his body started to heat up again. Thinking of his darling’s alluring crying appearance while doing it at that time, and his arrogant and elegant domineering appearance while sitting on top the tree before, made Yuwen Yin dare not turn to look at him, for fear that he might be unable to hold back when he sets his gaze on him.
The aloof expression of the little quilt gradually collapsed and turned into a gloomy expression.
He isn’t even looking at me! The quilt is really angry this time! !
The youth bulged his cheek, which still had some baby fats, making it slightly puff up, while also slightly pursing his lips.
As the night grew deeper, the carriage also started to pick up the pace. They had just stepped into the boundary of Pingjiang City, and will soon be able to directly enter the periphery of Chengbei District after passing this minor road. After bypassing the Chengbei District, it will only take them two incense sticks to reach the eastern side of the city. –The Pingjiang City’s provincial governor’s residence and government office ate both located there.
Pingjiang City being one of the most well-off county in Dayu Dynasty, isn’t an empty claim at all. It was already late xushi*, which was almost half past eight in the evening. But the shops in the area were still conducting their businesses at night. After rushing through the outlying districts to the east of the city, the spacious atmosphere on the road could be seen, with rows upon rows of buildings on both sides. Teahouses, taverns and various other shops that one could think of were there, there were even faint melancholic sounds of the Qiang’s bamboo flute coming from the boats on the riverside. –Even if there was a looming plague, the habit of indulging in a life of luxury had unexpectedly remained unchanged.
*7 – 9 pm
Yuwen Yin went to the provincial governor’s residence first instead of the government official’s office. The official residence was impressively built with high walls. Chen Wu and Xiong Wei dismounted from their horses, then directly went up to knock on the door with the token of an imperial guard.
The head steward in the residence wasn’t expecting anyone to come over to visit in the middle of the night, so his tone was somewhat blunt: “What are you looking for my master for?”
But after catching sight of the token in Chen Wu’s hand, the head steward’s eyes immediately widened, while instantly changing his attitude. He respectfully opened the door to welcome the people in, while chastising the guards at the door with a low voice: “What are you still dazing for? Hurry up and notify the master!”
The two guards rushed to report, so the provincial governor Jin Yi quickly took his son Jin Zhihui over to meet them. He even brought the head steward, guards and servants to kneel and kowtow, and respectfully voiced out ‘long live, long live, long live the crown prince’.
Jin Yi seemed to be at the prime of his life on the outside, but his poor footsteps and complexion gave the feeling of being hollowed out by wine. He repeatedly admitted his fault to Yuwen Yin: “This minister didn’t know that the crown prince would arrive tonight, and have failed to come out early to give a welcome. This sin deserves death.…..”
“It was this prince who hastened his travels and had arrived half a day earlier. It isn’t sir Jin’s fault.” Yuwen Yin raised his hand to indicate everyone to get up, “It’s too late today, there’s still a lot of work sir Jin needs to do tomorrow. Let’s set aside the idle chatter, and have an early rest.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Jin Yi hurriedly nodded and said: “His Highness has been rushing on the road for days, and must surely be exhausted from the long travel. Can Your Highness be wronged to temporarily live in the Tingzhu Courtyard in this humble house of mine? The layout there is magnificent, and is also convenient for the arrangement of the imperial guards.…..”
Yuwen Yin nodded, but turned around and walked back to the carriage. He then raised the curtain and quietly said something into the carriage. Jin Yu was still able to keep his head down calmly and dared not go beyond the rules, but Jin Zhihui couldn’t help but look up and over to Yuwen Yin’s side.
After a short period of time, a hand could be seen stretching out from inside the carriage.
That was an exceptionally delicate hand, and was enticing from the fingertips to the wrist, that even the simple wide white sleeves of the robe was unable to lessen even a bit of it’s beauty. Just seeing this good-looking hand, couldn’t help but stir Jin Zhihui’s heart. He stared at it, and couldn’t bear to let slip any of it’s movements.
The arm slowly moved forward, exposing more and more of it’s part, which whipped up several strands of raven black hair as well. Then a part of the face’s profile appeared under the carriage’s curtain immediately afterward.
Jin Zhihui’s chest inexplicably tightened, that even his body unconsciously stiffened for a moment, and even secretly felt contradictory for a while. He wanted to see the appearance of the person in the carriage, but also didn’t dare to at the same time. Because just this hand alone, made him give rise to an unprecedented expectation about the owner. Alongside his expectation were his worries. Worried that the appearance of the other party would not be able to match-up to the perfection of this beautiful hand.
