I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 191. Pomelo

The Azure Dragon Festival was akin to an "annual work meeting."

Such an important event, and the most prominent figure of Jinmen was absent, causing immediate speculation.

Jiang Haiyan, dressed in a neat martial arts outfit, leisurely stepped onto the stage and greeted the high officials with a fist salute,

"My father is ill and needs to rest quietly for some days, so I will attend in his place. I hope the esteemed officials will be understanding!"

"Illness..."

At this statement, everyone was somewhat speechless.

How could a Great Grandmaster of the Golden Body Realm, who could withstand cannon fire with his body, be ill, sick!?

But everyone present was shrewd and quickly understood what was going on.

The Governor of Two Rivers had just rebelled, and the court was in dire need of loyalists.

At this time, the Jinmen Governor claiming "illness" clearly indicated his stance—standing by and watching!

After a few seconds of silence, officials such as the Governor and the Salt Transportation Envoy began to respond,

"Governor is ill, he naturally needs to take a good rest, Miss Jiang taking effort on his behalf is most appropriate."

"The auspicious hour has arrived, please, Miss Jiang, proceed to the stage."

Jiang Haiyan nodded and said, "Then I will speak a few words on behalf of my father."

...

The high officials and dignitaries, familiar with such scenarios, reacted indifferently.

The people below were still buzzing with discussion.

Xiao Cha and Chen Zhizhong stood together, murmuring,

"Isn’t Governor Jiang [Jiang Shixiang] a man of the court? And even married a noblewoman of the Golden Race people, yet now he just stands by and does nothing?"

Being the governor of Jinmen, only a hundred kilometers away from Beijing, one could imagine he must be highly trusted.

But at a crucial moment... he clearly indicated non-participation?

If they couldn’t suppress the first to rebel, the Governor of Two Rivers, other governors would certainly not be polite.

In that case, the realm would surely fall into chaos, and the court would be doomed.

Xiao Cha was very puzzled.

Chen Zhizhong, however, was not surprised and explained,

"Jiang Shixiang is a Great Grandmaster of the Golden Body Realm, who dares to offend him? Claiming illness at this time, do you believe the court still has to express their concern? Even if the realm changes hands, what does it matter to him. He has the audacity to watch from the sidelines."

Hearing this, Xiao Cha finally understood, their own governor was no simple person.

However, the girl felt a trace of irritation.

Chuyun had already swallowed Liaodong and was eying the inner border menacingly while deploying various sinister strategies.

Yet, the grandmasters of Shen Zhou were either infighting... or wisely preserving themselves.

Racked with restless thoughts, Xiao Cha didn’t even listen to what Jiang Haiyan was blabbering about on the stage, always carrying that condescending look, which was annoying.

But soon, a series of suppressed exclamations came from nearby!

Chen Zhizhong uttered in shock, "Letting Jiushan Sect join the Divine Heart Association... this is too reckless."

Xiao Cha looked up and saw that Jiang Haiyan was talking about the "Annual Work Plan" of the Governor’s Office,

One item was "Enhancing Talent Cultivation," which included the phrase:

"Introducing various forces to promote participation from multiple parties, enhancing the growth of talents."

Xiao Cha exclaimed, "That means... sects can now join the Divine Heart Association and National Martial Arts Association!?"

Chen Zhizhong nodded and said in a deep voice,

"These two institutions were originally used by the court to restrain local forces, and now letting them join... The governor has a crafty plan, not only winning hearts but also cutting off the court’s tentacles, and striking at Kill Body Society."

Xiao Cha glanced at Xia Weiyun, the beautiful nun displaying a grim expression; clearly, she knew the coming days would be tough.

Kill Body Society had backed Lu Li in too many homicidal debts, and dealing with Jiushan Sect was not easy.

On the stage, Jiang Haiyan continued her prattle.

These seemingly prolonged and pointless sentences could easily decide the destinies of countless people.

She also enjoyed the shocked and startled expressions of the mortals below, her face always carrying a smirk of superiority.

But Jiang Haiyan couldn’t keep smiling soon after.

After finishing her speech, as she returned to her seat, an attendant approached with a serious face and reported,

"The Military Guard reports that two officials were assassinated this morning, one of whom was a Divine Constable specially appointed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How should we report this to the court, please advise."

"Damn it!"

Jiang Haiyan’s forehead creased angrily, scarlet and gnarled like a writhing centipede.

Xie Junbai had someone pass the message that he would deliver a "Spirit Fruit" today!

Such a divine treasure, born from the spirit mechanism of heaven and earth, was something she had been eagerly anticipating!

~~~~~~~~~~

At that moment, Lu Li had cheerfully returned home.

Wanqing, hearing the noise of the car stopping, went out to greet him:

"Young Master is back, did everything go smoothly?"

"Very smoothly, perfectly achieved the objective."

As Lu Li spoke, his eyes fixed on the rounded beauty he had long dreamed of.

Xiao Cha wasn’t home, Tong Shao was playing with building blocks in the yard, a great time to indulge in pomelos.

Wanqing felt his piercing, scorching gaze and instinctively covered her chest with her hands, whispering:

"Maybe Young Master should rest a bit, and I’ll go make lunch..."

"Don’t rush to cook yet," Lu Li licked his lips and said,

"Wanqing, come inside, I have something to tell you~"

Wanqing sensed a strong wave of "hunger" and her hands tightened even more, weakly saying:

"Young, Young Master, let’s just talk in the yard..."

Seeing her like this, Lu Li felt it wasn’t right to push her, and it would be better to take it slow.

So he said, "Wanqing, I miss you."

In Lu Li’s view, he had already conceded a lot.

But Wanqing’s entire face, including her ears, turned bright red as she kept stepping back, saying, "You, you’re obscene!"

Lu Li thought for a moment then said,

"You are my woman, isn’t it right for me to act this way? Wanqing, I want to do even more outrageous things to you."

"Young Master, please stop talking..." Wanqing covered her burning face and said,

"You’re making me feel scared... Let’s take it slow, maybe hold hands first or something."

Lu Li nodded and said, "That works too."

After speaking, he gently took Wanqing’s hand.

Her small hand was tender and smooth, quite a nice feeling.

Wanqing also breathed a sigh of relief; although Young Master Lu was from overseas and spoke bluntly, he ultimately had manners.

But just 5 seconds after Lu Li took her hand, he said,

"Alright, we’ve held hands now."

With that, his hands boldly made their move.

Fortunately, Wanqing had her Refining God Cultivation, and she barely managed to block with her arms crossed.

"Lu Li, I always thought you were a gentleman."

The distressed lady called out his name.

Lu Li halted his actions and sighed,

"I thought I was a gentleman too, but it turns out I’m not... I disappointed you. Actually, from the first day I saw you, I’ve desired your body."

His words carried a hint of melancholy, and Wanqing quickly dropped her defenses, softly saying,

"Young Master Lu is definitely a good man. Wanqing is also willing to be good to you, but being blind makes it scary... However, I will overcome it!"

Lu Li then showed a smile, "Thank you, Wanqing."

Wanqing also smiled gently and took the initiative to snuggle into Lu Li’s embrace,

"Young Master has helped me countless times, I can’t even keep track. I can only repay you with my innocent body. Luckily, Xiao Cha is kind-hearted enough to accept me."

In that moment, Lu Li was inhaling her sweet, fragrant scent.

"Truly otherworldly!"

Lu Li couldn’t help but exclaim in awe,

Wanqing’s body trembled slightly but remained still.

Unfortunately for Lu Li, before he had enough time to savor the moment, a whooshing sound rang out as Xiao Cha jumped into the yard.
