Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Hubei Road, Xiangyang Prefecture!

”Did the State Preceptor leave?”

In the Imperial Palace of the Tianyuan Empire, Xu Shouhui looked at Zhao Pusheng, who had just come in, and asked. Ever since they returned from Wushan, he had noticed that the State Preceptor, Peng Yingyu, who always treated him like a treasure, had a different attitude towards him.

Considering how they set Peng Yingyu up with Zhao Pusheng, causing his golden body to shatter, Peng Yingyu hadn’t said a harsh word to him, nor blamed him even slightly.

But after the trip to Wushan, everything changed. He began to become indifferent towards him.

And later, after going to Bright Peak, things got worse. Upon returning, Peng Yingyu was displeased with Xu, completely vetoing several of his proposals.

With the State Preceptor making a move, his apprentices were also less respectful towards him. Fortunately, Zhao Pusheng was deeply tied to him and hadn’t abandoned him, allowing Xu Shouhui to maintain his advantage and continue to sit on the Emperor’s throne in Xiangyang City.

He concluded that Peng Yingyu’s change, his abandonment, was due entirely to a change of heart, and the reason for this was none other than Chen Jiusi, who brainwashed the State Preceptor, blocking Xu at every turn and not even allowing him to meddle in the affairs of Huangzhou Prefecture.

Why, why wasn’t he allowed to dip his hands into the affairs of Huangzhou Prefecture? Everyone knew Huangzhou Prefecture was immensely wealthy, and as the Emperor of the Tianyuan Empire, shouldn’t such a wealthy place belong to the Emperor?

Just thinking about this made Xu Shouhui’s eyes turn purple with jealousy. He hated Chen Jiusi so much, wanting to cut him into pieces.

But somehow, Chen Jiusi always managed to escape danger, and his cultivation improved rapidly. In just a few days, he went from the Molten Furnace Realm to the Melt God Realm, making it even harder to take him down now.

Of course, although it became harder to deal with him, he still needed to be dealt with. Given a chance, Xu Shouhui would definitely show Chen Jiusi what he was capable of.

Zhao Pusheng looked at Xu Shouhui’s increasingly frenetic demeanor and said, ”Yes, he just left and received a letter from Huangzhou Prefecture.”

”Huangzhou Prefecture?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shouhui’s eyes widened immediately, and a fierce gaze was evident in his eyes. He couldn’t hear Chen Jiusi’s name without gnashing his teeth, wishing he could cut him into pieces.

”Do you know what it’s about?”

Xu Shouhui asked.

Zhao Pusheng replied, ”It appears to be Chen Jiusi’s wedding.”

”Chen Jiusi, a wedding? Wasn’t he already married?”

Zhao Pusheng answered, ”He was indeed married, but now he’s taking another wife?”

”Is it another daughter of a wealthy family?”

Zhao Pusheng said, ”Not a wealthy family.”

”A commoner?”

”Not a commoner either.”

Xu Shouhui, upon hearing this, said, ”Neither this nor that, could it be a brothel girl?”

Zhao Pusheng replied, ”It’s the Commandery Princess of Ruyang Prefecture!”

”Who!”

Xu Shouhui’s eyes widened upon hearing this, staring intently at Zhao Pusheng, who continued, ”The Princess of Ruyang Royal Mansion, Princess Xiangning, Yaya Timur!”

”He, how could Chen Jiusi marry a princess!”

”He, how could he! I do not approve, I do not approve!”

Xu Shouhui shouted angrily, but Zhao Pusheng merely looked at him without saying what he really thought, which was that Xu Shouhui’s disapproval didn’t matter; what right did he have to disapprove?

However, to cater to Xu Shouhui’s emotions, Zhao Pusheng didn’t voice this thought.

At this moment, Xu Shouhui’s mind was clouded, filled with negative emotions that were the side effects of the Witch God Inheritance, which he had fully absorbed.

His mind was now full of jealousy and anger.

In a word, anger had distorted his features!

Zhao Pusheng, seeing Xu Shouhui like this, had nothing more to say and simply advised, ”Calm down, calm down. Now is not the time to deal with Chen Jiusi. We need to be calm, cool-headed. Once the time is right, we’ll definitely crush Chen Jiusi under our feet!”

”Crush under our feet!”

After Zhao Pusheng’s persuasion, Xu Shouhui slowly regained his composure, but the cold intent to kill in his eyes grew even stronger.

...

Anhui, Haozhou!

Zhu Chongba was training his army, with Xu Da as the Commander-in-Chief, and Chang Yuchun had already selected the warriors he deemed the best to form his Vanguard Camp.

Zhu Chongba walked around the military training ground, inspecting his troops.

He then headed to the inner courtyard, where a plain-looking but kind-faced woman slowly approached and gently kneaded his shoulders.

Zhu Chongba had felt a little fatigued, but this massage reinvigorated him greatly.

With his eyes closed, enjoying the moment, he asked, ”Sister, has Biao’er gone to sleep?”

The woman behind him replied, ”Yes, already asleep.”

Zhu Chongba then said, ”Good, let him sleep. These days we’ve been busy with military camp matters, you’ve worked hard, sister.”

The woman replied, ”It’s nothing hard. This is what I should do.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba took her hand from his shoulder and said, ”Sigh, your hand has become rough.”

The woman replied, ”It’s a bit rough, but are you complaining about me?”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba pulled the woman into his arms and said, ”Absolutely not, you’re my treasure. It’s because of us that your hand is rough, how could I ever complain?”

The woman replied, ”You do have some conscience.”

Zhu Chongba laughed heartily and said, ”How could I not? I still remember how Guo Tianxu wronged me, locking me in the wood shed, nearly starving me to death, and how you tucked pancakes inside your clothes, almost burning your chest.”
