C2257 Fair and Just
"Brother Zhongyun, I don't really know how to comfort people. It's just that there's no such thing as beautiful grass in this world. You're so handsome and outstanding, so there's no need to be so persistent... " Feng Yixiu shook his head and sighed.
"You're right. Maybe it's time to let it go." Zhong Yun nodded thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, he sighed. "Brother Feng, do you know what I have sacrificed to help you?"
"Oh... that Fox Venerable guy drew a flatbread for you?" Feng Yixiu raised his brows slightly and said with a smile.
Zhong Yun rolled his eyes and continued, "Although that Fox Venerable guy is cunning, he has nothing to say to his subordinates. He will fulfill all his promises. He promised to promote me to become the fifth Ghost King of Flower of Evil after I succeed, and he will also help me break through to the Legendary Realm! "
"This flatbread is quite big, but I might be able to do what the Nine-Sins Fox Venerable can do." Feng Yixiu revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth and said in a clear voice, "As long as you can save Jiu'er, you will be the first Guardian Beast of Asura Empire!"
"The number one guardian beast of Asura Empire! ... It sounded pretty good. But what benefits would it bring to becoming a Guardian Beast? " Zhong Yun asked with a smile.
"There are naturally countless benefits. First of all, you can receive ten million crystals every month..." Feng Yixiu said with a serious expression.
"What? Ten million!"
Before Feng Yixiu could finish, zhong Yun looked at Feng Yixiu in shock and shouted.
" What's wrong? If you think it's too little, then raise it to 20 million. After all, the Blizzard Lion King and the others only took 10 million crystals. It wouldn't be good if you took too much... " Feng Yixiu thought that the other party only thought it was too little and felt a little awkward.
"Gulp..."
Zhong Yun subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and his entire body seemed to be petrified as he was at a loss for what to do.
As expected of the number one power empire, its wealth was beyond imagination!
One had to know that the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King could at most receive one million blood crystals in the Flower of Evil, which was equivalent to one million crystals.
Feng Yixiu's words were twenty times the amount of blood crystals he received, and he didn't seem to feel any heartache at all. It could be seen how astonishing his wealth was!
"It's still ten million crystals. I won't feel safe even if I have too much..." Zhong Yun muttered in a low voice.
"You're interesting. Everyone thinks that it's too little. You actually think too much? Since you've already said so... Then I'll reluctantly obey you! " Feng Yixiu smiled and shook his head, then continued, "Not only that, but also... If you want to further your cultivation in the future... I can also personally write an Evolutionary Plan for you. "
"Now I finally understand why everyone in the world wants to cut off their heads and join the Asura Imperial City. Your treatment is simply..." Zhong Yun's pupils were already somewhat unfocused as he muttered to himself.
As a world treasure, not only could the World Tree greatly increase the cultivation speed of the War Spiritualist, it was also similarly applicable to the Demon Beast.
As the world trade center, the Asura Empire also had an extremely rich amount of resources. As long as the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King fulfilled the requirements for evolution, there was almost no need to worry about material matters.
If the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King had felt wronged before, he would have been cured by Feng Yixiu with the ability of money.
Even if it was not for the sake of saving Hu Jiu'er, just for the bright future that was visible to the naked eye, all the sacrifices were worth it!
Feng Yixiu looked at the time and softly said, "It is not early anymore. It is time to sneak into the Asura Imperial City under the cover of the night. This is the identity card of the people of Asura Empire. Keep it well first!"
As he spoke, Feng Yixiu handed over an Asura Empire citizen identity card that he had prepared beforehand to the other party.
This was the only proof of Asura's identity. Without this, the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King would not have the qualifications to participate in the selection of the captain of the personal guards.
Zhong Yun took the identity card with both hands and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll take my leave first..."
Zhong Yun turned into a smoke like black fog and slipped out of the tightly shut window under Feng Yixiu's eyes.
Even Xavier, who had been waiting outside, did not notice it at all. After leaving the Asura Imperial Palace, she disappeared into the quiet night.
If the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King wanted to escape at this time, he was afraid that he would be able to do it without alerting anyone. However, he no longer had the intention to do so.
Not long after Zhong Yun left, Feng Yixiu called Xavier in. When she saw the headless corpse lying on the ground, she was startled.
"The Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King's crime cannot be forgiven. Not killing is not enough to anger the common people! Now he has been personally beheaded by me. Tomorrow, I will hang his head on the city gate to alert the world!"2
Feng Yixiu placed his hands behind his back and said in a serious tone.
"I will follow your orders!" Xavier slightly bowed and loudly echoed.
"Other than that, there is one more thing that I need you to do. Now that the Asura Empire is growing bigger and bigger, I want to form a personal guard to be in charge of protecting the empire. It will also be easier to share the burden of you and Rose's work." Feng Yixiu said in a deep voice.
"Okay... but who will be the captain of the personal guard team?" Xavier asked softly.
Feng Yixiu pretended to think for a moment and said seriously, "Our Asura Empire is also filled with talents now. We should give the people below a chance to make the national selection public. Those who are capable will be the ones to take the lead!"
"No problem, but when will the selection begin?" Xavier asked in puzzlement.
"The sooner the better. This matter will be handled by you personally. It must be fair and just!" Feng Yixiu deliberately emphasized.
"This general accepts the order!"
Xavier's actions had always been swift and decisive. Immediately, she sent someone to transport the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King's corpse out and hung its head on the city gate.
Then, she prepared the matter of selecting the captain of the personal guards in the country overnight. She wanted to start the selection process immediately after dawn.
"Big Brother Feng, Xavier is one of us. She definitely won't leak the information. Is there a need to hide it from them?"
When Feng Yixiu was talking about proper business earlier, Shen Ruyu obediently stood by the side and did not say a word. After Xavier left, she spoke out the doubts in her heart.
"It's not that I don't trust them. It's just that the Nine-Sins Fox Venerable has extraordinary vision. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better. If it is not necessary, you must not tell anyone!" Feng Yixiu said with a serious expression.
"You're right. This matter concerns Sister Jiu'er's safety. It's not an exaggeration to be careful!" Shen Ruyu nodded and agreed.
The next morning, the news of the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster King being beheaded caused a huge commotion. It was not only within the borders of the Asura Empire, but even the World Daily had reported this matter.
However, as this matter continued to ferment, the news of the Asura Guard captain selection once again caused a sensation. The intelligent people within the Asura Empire also volunteered to sign up.
The public square that announced the Imperial Ranking List was filled with people. A fierce-looking man wearing black armor revealed a smile, and then slowly walked towards the registration counter...
