117: Crying Girl

A grand show officially came to an end.

The massive airship, hovering above the imperial city, cast a dark shadow, exerting immense pressure.

The Divine Dragon Emperor's face twitched.

Wasn't this a bit too much bullying?

However, seeing the Fourth Ancestor and the others, he fell silent. He couldn't win.

After entering the imperial city, Qin Jiang couldn't be bothered to chat with these big shots and went directly to the Third Princess' residence.

Liu Shuwan stayed by his side the whole time.

It was best to be careful on someone else's territory.

The Fourth Ancestor and the others returned to the airship, while the Fourth Guardian had already been surrounded by the Great Guardian and the other two.

"Fourth, what's going on with you?"

The Great Guardian asked.

Hearing this, the Fourth Guardian's face fell, and he spread his hands:

"I was poisoned. From now on, I can only follow that gongzi. Whatever he tells me to do, I can only do."

"Poisoned?"

The Great Guardian frowned, put his arm around the Fourth Guardian's shoulder, and after a while, spoke:

"I didn't find anything unusual."

"Nonsense!"

The Fourth Guardian rolled his eyes:

"If you could find anything unusual, I would have already cleared the poison. This stuff can poison a great emperor to death!"

The Great Guardian and the others' expressions all changed slightly.

A poison that could kill a great emperor?

They had never seen such a thing.

Nearby, the Divine Dragon Emperor also heard their conversation and couldn't help but feel a headache. Currently, Qin Jiang hadn't shown any hostility, but having such a fierce tiger in his own territory...

It was always unsettling.

"Do you know his background?"

The Divine Dragon Emperor looked at the Fourth Guardian.

The Fourth Guardian shook his head:

"I don't know.

However, with so many great emperors around him, his identity is definitely not ordinary. He should be a gongzi from a major clan above the Nine Heavens.

Moreover, although our contact wasn't long, I feel like he's just out for a trip. Just like at the city gate, he was just bored and wanted me to put on a show to scare you.

As long as you don't offend him, he definitely won't attack the Divine Dragon Empire. What's more, the Third Princess is by his side, so he'll have some scruples, right?"

"Above the Nine Heavens?"

The Divine Dragon Emperor rubbed his forehead.

If he were a proper gongzi from a major clan, he wouldn't be worried. Such people usually care about their reputation. But Qin Jiang...

He didn't look proper at all!

He was unrestrained and also powerful.

Such people were the hardest to get along with. One wrong word could potentially anger the other party.

As for his own daughter, he didn't believe that a gongzi from a major clan above the Nine Heavens would change his mind because of a woman.

"Forget it, forget it. Just serve him well."

The Divine Dragon Emperor shook his head.

As the emperor of a nation, controlling the entire continent, facing a higher level of existence, his every word and action could potentially determine the lives and deaths of billions of his subjects.

Therefore, the Divine Dragon Emperor was destined not to act impulsively.

He had many concerns.

Looking at the Fourth Guardian, he asked:

"Are you going back to his side, or staying in the imperial palace?"

"Either is fine."

The Fourth Guardian shrugged.

Hearing this, the Divine Dragon Emperor asked in surprise:

"He allows you to move freely?"

"He can kill me at any time, so why would he need to restrict my freedom?"

The Fourth Guardian pouted.

The Divine Dragon Emperor's mouth twitched. The Fourth Guardian's mindset was quite good.

...

Third Princess' residence.

It wasn't luxurious, but it was definitely not bad either; it was just an ordinary princess' residence.

Returning here, Dragon Xiner was clearly more relaxed.

The airship was directly above the Third Princess' residence.

Convenient for Qin Jiang's movements.

The next day.

Qin Jiang took Liu Shuwan and Xiao Xiao Lianer to stroll around the imperial city together.

Beside them, Qin Lianer pouted slightly:

"Brother, you're shopping with sister-in-law, why drag me along?"

Following Qin Jiang every day, she didn't even need to eat; she was already full from dog food.

And Qin Jiang brought her along, naturally wanting her to be a radar. If he went out to wander by himself, he really might not encounter a Son of Destiny.

With Qin Lianer, the chances would be much higher.

"Aren't you bored? I'm taking you out for some fresh air."

Qin Jiang said.

Just like that, the group of three wandered aimlessly through the imperial city.

Some novel items often attracted Qin Lianer's attention, and Qin Jiang wasn't short on money. He bought what should be bought and experienced what should be experienced.

Until...

A girl dressed in mourning clothes knelt in a corner, with a corpse in front of her. From the corpse, it was clear that he had been beaten to death.

The girl's eyes were teary, her face streaked with tears. Next to her was a luxurious mansion. At this moment, two burly men walked out from the mansion.

They walked towards the girl.

"Get lost, get lost! Who told you to mourn here? Bad luck!"

"Damn it, this Old thing offended the old madam and deserved to be beaten to death. He even caused us to have our monthly wages deducted.

Hurry up and get out of here with him!"

The two burly men cursed impatiently.

Having just had their wages deducted, they were naturally in a bad mood. Coupled with the girl's crying, if the adults in the mansion heard it, they would definitely be punished again.

Being roughly cursed at, the girl was a little scared and shrank back, but she still knelt in front of her father. In her beautiful eyes, however, there was a hint of stubbornness.
