Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess
Chapter 160 - 110: The Capital’s First Fire_3

"He’s not capable of that yet."

Hu spoke with overconfidence, "The chess pieces I take a liking to will always be firmly grasped in my hand. I decide where they should be placed, and they’re incapable of jumping off the chessboard."

The young man clicked his tongue, "You look down on the underlings that much? Be careful of capsizing in the gutter."

Hu looked up at the young man, just as he was about to speak, the other party gestured with his hand, "Call me Master Qi."

Hu laughed, "Master Qi, since you’ve already called him an underling, could he still capsize the boat?"

"Alright, you have the capital to be arrogant."

Master Qi tossed the Zihao brush into the pen holder and casually asked, "I heard that girl wasn’t a success?"

Hu sighed, "He Lianlan was the best candidate we’ve encountered so far, what a pity the Netherworld Demon Qi was lost, otherwise there was a high chance of success. The girl is already dead. I was planning to refine the damaged demon soul placed inside her, but it was taken by Jiang Yi."

"Then she’s going to have a hard time," murmured Master Qi.

Hu nodded, "Indeed, she’s going to suffer. From the outside, it appears that He Lianlan’s body still contains the Mysterious Yin Qi, but her soul is already dead, meaning all that Mysterious Yin Qi is essentially dead energy. Once Jiang Yi’s condition flares up and she uses He Lianlan for treatment, that dead energy will make her experience unbearable pain. At least for the next few months, that woman will have to lie in bed."

Master Qi chuckled with a sneer, the corners of his lips curling up in a wicked smile,

"What if I go and treat her illness? You know, I’m particularly fond of women of a certain age, those who have ripened. If she were to get entangled with me, it would surely be unforgettable."

Hu spoke softly, "If you want to go, then go, but you bear the consequences yourself."

"Just kidding."

Master Qi twisted his neck, looking regretful, "I still need to maintain my innocence now, and I’ve already sworn that the first woman in my life must be Empress Dowager Xiao. General Luo has already promised me that after the end of the year, he will let me personally lead the Black Armored Army to practice my skills.

When the war truly breaks out, I will definitely lead the army straight to Yan Rong City! And head directly to that woman’s bed!"

Hu looked at the young man in front of him, full of aggressive and arrogant energy, but did not utter a word of sarcasm.

Because this naturally strong young man led three thousand cavalry at the age of fourteen to assist General Luo in annihilating twenty thousand Yanrong heavy cavalry.

In that battle, this young man, new to the battlefield, killed one hundred and six people, an extremely valiant performance. After that, he battled continuously, his combat achievements like hemp, specializing in collecting the heads of the slain barbarians to construct a horrific spectacle and earned the title "Junior Slaughter God."

The storeroom door opened, and Jiang Shouzhong walked out.

Everyone looked over, and indeed, there was a puddle of urine inside the storeroom.

Jiang Shouzhong adjusted his waistband, and said to Suwan with a frown on her face, "Miss Suwan, I just remembered something. There was a public report once, saying that your Xichu Pavilion has been imprisoning some of the purchased young girls, using Demon Energy to conduct unspeakable secret experiments."

Suwan was startled but calmly said, "When you stand too high, you tend to get splashed with dirty water. If Master Jiang does not believe it, he may continue the search. We at Xichu Pavilion will not obstruct it."

"Good, I was waiting for you to say that."

Jiang Shouzhong’s smile lifted at the corners of his mouth as he said to Nalan Xie, "Let’s go. We should find more people and conduct a thorough search."

Nalan Xie thought the other party was joking and didn’t take it seriously.

But when they left Xichu Pavilion and saw Jiang Shouzhong heading towards the Liushan Division headquarters, his complexion immediately changed, "Master Jiang, you’re not really going to find people, are you?"

Jiang Shouzhong furrowed his brows, "What else?"

Nalan Xie was truly annoyed now and said sternly:

"Jiang Mo, don’t be so willful! In the end, it’s you and your people who will suffer. I’ve already warned you many times about what should be investigated and what should not. You must have a clear understanding in your mind! Even if you bring people to create a disturbance at Xichu Pavilion, what could you possibly find? Wouldn’t we at Liushan Division be the ones to lose face?"

"Imprisoning young girls, secretly hoarding Demon Energy, using them for experiments, this cannot be investigated?" Jiang Shouzhong retorted.

Nalan Xie was laughing out of anger, pointing at him, "Fine, I’ll play along with you. This is your last chance, don’t say I didn’t warn you."

Jiang Shouzhong approached Xia He and murmured something into the girl’s ear.

The girl’s eyes were shocked, incredulous.

"Go quickly, trust me, otherwise your mistress is in danger." Jiang Shouzhong’s expression was serious, with not the slightest hint of jest.

Xia He nodded and hurried away.

Looking in the direction of Xichu Pavilion, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly changed his mind, assigning Zhang Yunwu and the others to go to the Liushan Division, while he himself headed to the Ran residence.

It was time to find his wife to take control of the situation.

He wasn’t sure whether she would help him.

After all, once this fire was ignited, he didn’t know how fiercely it would burn, but he felt that it would certainly burn some people.
