Chapter 227: 97 Jin Niang Awakens! Bail Qingling, I want you! (7000 words)

Rootless City, City Lord’s Palace, Council Hall.

A fat woman dressed in a Phoenix Crown and Xiapi, her body resembling a giant barrel, was sitting boldly on the City Lord’s throne.

Beside her was a group of similarly shaped women, also clad in Phoenix Crowns and Xiapi, clustered around her.

"Guards! Bring up those craftsmen who were spying on us sisters!"

The woman on the throne, her jowls trembling, commanded coldly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a weak male voice sounded:

"Please, madam... just wait a moment."

The fat woman frowned slightly, looking displeased in the direction of the voice.

A middle-aged man, as thin as firewood, with a handlebar mustache, walked over supported by several guards.

"Greetings to City Lord Zhou Rulai!"

Before the fat woman could speak, the sisters beside her bowed to the man.

"Hmph! You are all sisters of mine, heavenly fairies, no need to bow to these ordinary stinky men!"

The fat woman said icily, then looked sharply at the middle-aged man: "Zhou Rulai, what’s the matter, speak quickly!"

"Oh, my dear lady."

The man called "Zhou Rulai" said with a bitter face, "I am, after all, the nominal City Lord of this Rootless City. This is a significant matter of interrogating suspects, it must be handled personally by me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what would you do?"

The fat woman’s gaze suddenly turned cold: "Zhou Rulai! Don’t forget, your position as City Lord was granted by my brother Ji and my mother, who is the venerable Sect Master of the Huanxi Sect!"

"What! What right do you have to point fingers in front of me?"

"Madam, this..."

Zhou Rulai wanted to say more, but was intimidated by his wife’s fierce gaze and retreated to the side despondently.

Seeing the City Lord yielding in front of the leader, the plump fairies around her all felt justified to give orders condescendingly.

Soon after.

Under the escort of a group of guards.

More than a dozen men, wearing white turbans and coarse cloth garments, looking like craftsmen, were ushered into the center of the hall.

Seeing the fierce and menacing face of the City Lord’s wife, these craftsmen trembled like quails awaiting slaughter.

Lady Xue Ruyi, wearing a stern expression, asked gruffly, "Do you know what crime you’ve committed?"

Upon hearing this, the craftsmen turned ashen and pleaded in unison:

"Madam! We have been honest Spirit Craftsmen all our lives. This time, at the invitation of the City Lord, we came to repair the Shadow Wall outside the palace, and we wouldn’t dare cause trouble!"

"Yes! Please, madam, investigate clearly!"

"City Lord! City Lord, say something!"

.....

"Hmph! Still dare to argue!?"

Lady Xue Ruyi took out a few smooth stones from her pocket and smashed them onto the ground, "Are these Shadow-keeping Stones left by you?"

"Yes!"

The leading craftsman said anxiously: "Everyone knows that when Spirit Craftsmen repair valuable items, they use Shadow stones to record the process, so that if any accidents happen, there is a trail of evidence for both parties to resolve issues!"

As soon as he spoke.

Zhou Rulai, standing nearby, nodded repeatedly:

"Yes! Madam, you can inquire and verify! It is indeed so!"

"Zhou Rulai, who told you to blabber!"

Xue Ruyi snarled, "My dear sisters have been living in the City Lord’s Palace these days, and I think these men are lustful, trying to secretly film us with the Shadow-keeping Stones!"

"This....."

Zhou Rulai glanced at the beautiful women, swallowed his saliva: "Isn’t that unlikely?"

"Yes, yes! Madam! Unlikely! Really unlikely!"

The craftsmen on the side also agreed fervently.

"You—all bold!"

"What do you mean unlikely!?"

Xue Ruyi leaped from her throne like a bouncing ball, "Zhou Rulai! You blind fool! Are you questioning the divine beauty of me and my sisters!?"

"Do you know! Even Brother Ji... as the Sect Master of the Upper Sect, treats us with such tenderness!"

Upon her speaking.

The sisters around her also chimed in agreement.

"Enough chaos!"

At this moment, a thunderous male voice echoed throughout the hall.

The grand hall fell into instant silence.

After a while.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw the usually weak City Lord, Zhou Rulai, suddenly exuding an imposing aura, standing with his ribs-like chest puffed out, exuding authority!

"Zhou Rulai, you... you dare to shout at me!"

Xue Ruyi was furious, then she began to cry pitifully, "Zhou Rulai! If you don’t kneel and apologize to me and my sisters today, I... I’ll go to my mother to complain!"

"Go then!"

Zhou Rulai had completely let go, "Xue Ruyi! I will only tell you one thing—"

"Just as Ji Sect Master predicted! Han Jinniang and Ren Qianfan’s couple have ended up staying in our Rootless City!"

"What!?"

Xue Ruyi’s face turned horrified: "That... Han Jinniang... no, Yun Jin’er, has really come?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Rulai stated: "Back when this Lady Ren, was a candidate Saintess of the Hehuan Sect, it was you, Xue Ruyi, who personally trained her, I imagine she will surely repay your ’kindness’ properly!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ruyi’s fat face trembled violently, sweating like rain: "No... no! We must follow Brother Ji’s instructions and take this opportunity to eliminate this couple!"
