308: Invitation from the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Division

"Give me your hand!"

Chu Jiang rose from his reclining chair.

"Oh!"

Fu Yunxuan didn't hesitate, extending her slender, jade-like arm.

Chu Jiang placed the Yin Ring of the Yin Yang Hidden Qi Ring onto her finger. This Yin Ring, he only had this one female subordinate, so it could only go to her.

"My Lord, this is..."

A blush flashed across Fu Yunxuan's cheeks.

"This is the Yin Yang Hidden Qi Ring. It can conceal your Qi and also serve as a storage space!" Chu Jiang said simply, then continued to lie back in his chair.

"Thank you, My Lord!" Fu Yunxuan said softly.

She noticed that Chu Jiang also wore a ring on his hand.

"My Lord, are these a pair?"

"That's right, they're a pair. This is a special benefit from your Lord for you!" Chu Jiang said with a smile.

As his only female subordinate, there was naturally an element of favoritism.

There was nothing to hide about this; everyone in the Demon Suppression Division knew that he, Chu, had a soft spot for his female subordinate.

It was open and aboveboard.

Hearing Chu Jiang's words, Fu Yunxuan's heart warmed, and she chuckled, "Hehe, thank you for your Lord's great kindness!"

"Alright, go rest!"

Chu Jiang was ready for a good sleep; he had indeed been a bit tired these past few days.

"My Lord, I'll help you fall asleep!"

"That works too!"

Chu Jiang nodded, resting his head on the beauty's jade-like leg. Being massaged while falling asleep was truly comfortable.

"My Lord, when will you marry those women from Prince Yans Mansion?" Fu Yunxuan's jade hands precisely pressed on Chu Jiang's Acupoints. Those Eight Great Courtesans could be concubines, but it's impossible for Su Lengyue to actually be a maid, right?

Although this woman was a bit strange, she would use her Calamity Poison Body Origin later to carefully examine her, and only then confirm if there were any issues.

Marry? Are they worthy?

"I've already killed them!" Chu Jiang closed his eyes and said calmly.

"...Ah?"

Fu Yunxuan's jade hand, which was pressing on the Acupoints, paused.

Killed them?

"These women tried to plant a Gu on your Lord and make him their slave. This Lord could only reluctantly send them to reunite!"

"They mostly died at the same time, so they shouldn't be lonely on the Yellow Springs Road!" Chu Jiang murmured softly.

"It is this subordinate's incompetence, for failing to detect the enemy first, causing My Lord to almost fall into a predicament... Please punish this subordinate!" Fu Yunxuan was somewhat remorseful. If she had personally inspected them with her Calamity Poison Body, such a crisis would certainly not have occurred.

"What does that have to do with you? Giving your Lord a good massage is the real business, otherwise, I'll punish you by making you warm my bed!" Chu Jiang said with a strange laugh. Even he needed his Star Soul Eye to carefully examine the Yang Yin Gu to discover it.

She was only in the Faxiang Realm, so even with a careful inspection, she might not have found it.

"Yes!"

Fu Yunxuan's body felt slightly warm. Hearing the words "warm my bed," her heart skipped a beat, and streaks of rosy color appeared on her cheeks.

Chu Jiang said no more, enjoying himself peacefully until he fell asleep.

...

The next day.

When Chu Jiang opened his eyes, he found himself in his own bedroom, and there was a faint, pleasant fragrance on the bed.

Oh my goodness.

Did that girl really warm his bed last night?

"But, it smells quite nice!" Chu Jiang got up, changed into new clothes, and left the Chu Residence.

...

At noon.

The Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division's Feng Mingxi Mountain arrived in Yunzhou.

Inside the Demon Suppression Hall.

Chu Jiang looked at the person seated at the head of the left side.

She was dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit, tall and upright. Her thick eyebrows were like swords, slanting into her temples, and her eyes were as bright as stars, sharp and profound.

This person was none other than Feng Mingxi Mountain.

Six months ago, she had come to the Tai Xuan Secret Realm in Yunzhou, searching for his whereabouts, but had not found him.

"I am here on the orders of the Royal Capital's high-ranking officials to deliver something to Chu Garrison Envoy. These should have been given to you long ago, but were delayed for various reasons," Feng Mingxi Mountain said.

"Oh?" Chu Jiang said with a faint smile.

Delivering something?

Recently, it seemed to be a rush, with everyone sending him good treasures.

"The first item is three Enlightenment Leaves!"

"They can help people achieve Dao enlightenment."

"The second item is a Dragon Scale Talisman!"

"It can withstand attacks from the sixth level of the Qiankun Realm."

"The third item is a Fifth Grade Ice Spirit Immortal Fruit!"

"It can grant a person an Ice Cold Body."

"The fourth item is a Low Grade Magic Treasure — the Demon Slayer Blade: Evil Breaker!"

"It has a powerful suppressive effect on demons."

After Feng Mingxi Mountain finished her introduction, she waved her hand.

Four glowing orbs, sparkling brightly, floated before Chu Jiang.

Good heavens.

Chu Jiang gasped, he had thought Prince Jin was already quite grand, but he didn't expect the Demon Suppression Division to be so much more impressive.

Each item, if found in the outside world, could cause a bloody struggle, yet they all appeared before him in unison.

"Feng Ming Pacification Envoy, then please thank the high-ranking officials for their kindness on my behalf!" Chu Jiang didn't stand on ceremony, putting everything into his purple gold gourd. Since it was given by his own people, he took it without any pressure.

"I have one more matter for this trip!" Feng Mingxi Mountain continued.

Chu Jiang: "Please speak!"

"After Chu Garrison Envoy finishes handling the affairs of Yunzhou, please come to the Royal Capital in about two months. The Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division has already included you as one of the Lord Shao Si candidates, and an assessment will be held." Feng Mingxi Mountain said slowly.

As the only super-A grade Genius of this generation, Chu Jiang had the qualifications to contend for the position of Lord Shao Si, and the high-ranking officials' arrangement was very reasonable.

[Ding]

[Triggered Quest: Within one year, become the Lord Shao Si of the Demon Suppression Division. Reward: Ten Dou of Star Qi, one thousand years of Bride's Gown Skill cultivation base]

More Star Qi?

This stuff was excellent for upgrading Magic Treasures. Last time, one Dou allowed the purple gold gourd to advance to Medium Grade.

This time, there were actually ten Dou.

He would have to upgrade all the Magic Treasures he had.

"System, what is this one thousand years of Bride's Gown Skill cultivation base?"

[The Bride's Gown Skill has major flaws, and the host cannot Cultivate it, so it can only be infused into others as a cultivation base, or the host can choose to transfer it to himself.]

That's not bad.

The choice was quite high.

"Alright, in two months, I will go to the Royal Capital!" Chu Jiang replied.

After suppressing the Lipu Family, obtaining the Undying Golden Body, and finishing the affairs of Yunzhou, he could directly head to the Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division.

At most, it wouldn't take more than a month.

Both were decisive individuals, and after a few simple words, they departed.

After a long while.

Chu Jiang sat upright in the main seat, his expression composed, looking towards the Void Realm, and said coldly, "Those rebels of the Lipu Family should gather in a few more days. It's time to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers."
