Chapter 167: Wu Yue Summons the Ancient Loulan Princess

Wu Yue gazed in the direction where the cat had disappeared for a while before turning to power up her sky shuttle and leave.

The cat watched from a corner as the sky shuttle took off, only to suddenly sense a predatory aura behind it.

Turning its head, it saw a golden-orange fox with glossy fur and a brownish-yellow yellow weasel spirit.

The fox and the yellow weasel spirit slowly approached, their narrow, sharp eyes radiating unnatural light under the moonlight.

The cat’s green eyes fixed on the fox and the yellow weasel spirit for a moment—

Then,

A shadow of a massive black void dragon rose behind it, releasing a blast of dragonfire toward the fox and the yellow weasel spirit.

Under the cover of the black dragon, the cat no longer appeared playful and docile—its green pupils now cold and ruthless.

The fox and the yellow weasel spirit exchanged a glance before fleeing without hesitation.

The two venerable spirits, Fox and Weasel, returned to Zhou Qianfeng’s side.

Zhou Qianfeng, "I appreciate you making the trip, Venerable Spirits."

Fox Immortal, "No trouble at all. Miss Wu Yue is a very respectful young woman."

Weasel Immortal, "Besides, we witnessed something quite interesting."

Zhou Qianfeng asked curiously, "What do you mean, Venerable Immortal?"

The two venerable spirits exchanged a meaningful look and smiled in unison,

"Rest assured, Secretary-General, it’s nothing that would harm Miss Wu Yue.

What should be done about that viscountess?"

Zhou Qianfeng gave a thin smile, "Such a minor affair need not trouble you two. I’ll see to it personally.

For now, the official statement is that she’s under the custody of the Guard Division, to be dealt with by them.

If that viscountess insists on pressing the issue, I doubt the second successor to the Duke of the Roth Family would refuse an offer of alliance from the Secretariat.

I’ve already leaked information to escalate this into a jurisdictional conflict between the nobility and the alliance guards.

Once the situation reaches a certain level, no one will care who the original provocateur was."

The two venerable spirits nodded, "That makes sound reasoning."

After the Fox and Weasel Immortals left, Zhou Qianfeng turned to his secretary, "How is Wu Yue?"

Secretary, "She sustained light wounds but has already returned to her unit headquarters."

Zhou Qianfeng smiled and nodded—

Then,

His entire aura turned frigid enough to freeze bone,

"If she’s been hurt, naturally, there will be retribution."

Not only will it be repaid, but it will be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

Send an outsider to handle it, and make sure it's clean and swift.

As for what to do next, I shouldn’t need to teach you.”

Secretary, "Understood."

Frame the second heir of the Ross Family, forcing him to lean toward the Secretariat.

....

After returning to the base, Wu Yue kept an eye on World City’s updates and was shocked to discover:

"Duke Lilia Ross was attacked by an unknown assailant, her right hand completely severed, confirming her right hand has been crippled."

"The moment Duke Lilia’s disability was confirmed, the Squire Family announced her removal from the list of candidates for Crown Princess."

"Duke Lilia violently clashed with the Alliance's White Guard, with multiple S-class psychics under her command severely injuring several White Guard members.

Duke Lilia’s actions have severely breached the Alliance’s mutual aid pact between the Guard and the nobility, directly threatening the White Guard’s absolute law enforcement authority within World City.

The Ross Family has since publicly declared that Duke Lilia’s moral misconduct makes her unfit to retain her title, with the second-in-line heir, Duke Zach, inheriting the dukedom."

"Lilia Ross and Duke Zach got into an argument, resulting in her accidentally falling to her death down the stairs."

Wu Yue reread the updates several times before finally accepting that, in the mere hour and a half it took her to return from World City to the base, the once-dominant Duke Lilia had already been toppled?

The Alliance Guard, the Alliance Secretariat, the Squire Family, the Ross Family—didn’t any of them even fight back? The whole thing went down way too smoothly.

Didn’t anyone even try to bail Lilia out??

Still, the Midnight incident was finally over.

Wu Yue stopped paying attention to her communicator and pulled out yellow paper and cinnabar, finally able to calm her mind and properly draw another Spirit Summoning Talisman.

Calmly, she traced the talisman’s origins as before, muttering the cryptic chant.

Soon, a Spirit Summoning Talisman formed under her brush.

Entering the vast training hall, Wu Yue took position and formed hand signs to activate the summoning talisman. The moment her gestures were complete,

a stunning ghost king materialized in the void. She appeared extremely young, yet her unparalleled beauty was already evident.

Adorned with extravagant headpieces, her striking blue eyes locked onto Wu Yue.

The ghost king gaped in shock upon seeing Wu Yue.

Wu Yue blinked. "Uh, hi?"

The ghost king frantically tried to speak,

then—

"*Garbled nonsense*"

Wu Yue, "What?"

The ghost king rambled, "*Garbled nonsense*"

Wu Yue, "What the—??"

The ghost king gestured and spoke frantically, her entire being visibly frantic, even her beautiful little face flushed bright red.

But no matter how she tried, Wu Yue simply couldn't understand her!

This was truly a classic case of like talking to a brick wall.

Considering the limited duration of a Spirit Summoning Talisman's effect, Wu Yue could only first record what the ghost king was saying.

Soon, the talisman's power faded, and the dejected ghost king vanished with visible reluctance, even desperately clinging to Wu Yue's clothes unwillingly before finally returning to the void.

Afterwards, Wu Yue drew five more Spirit Summoning Talismans in a row until she was completely mentally drained.

But neither Luo Shen nor even this ghost king who looked like the Ancient Loulan Princess appeared again.

Staggering with exhaustion, just before dawn broke, Wu Yue collapsed into the medical pod and fell unconscious.

....

After finishing matters at Blaze's planting zone, Fu Yanqi immediately returned to the Fu family's main residence.

He went to see Fu Yixue and suggested bringing Wu Yue to visit the main family.

Fu Yanqi: "Madam Patriarch, I want to bring a close teammate to the main residence."

Fu Yixue's face stayed blank:

"Yan Qi, you know the main family is in the middle of big changes recently. Not just anyone from your team—

Even Ming Li and Yi Na's engagement has been put off indefinitely by me.

The matter of bringing guests home can wait until later."

Seeing Fu Yixue's unyielding attitude, Fu Yanqi felt somewhat disappointed, but more than anything, apologetic for being unable to fulfill his promise to Wu Yue.

He nodded:

"Understood, Madam Patriarch. I'll invite Wu Yue over after the family restructuring concludes."

Fu Yixue nodded, "Yan Qi, you do understand..."

Then she suddenly stopped and turned sharply to Fu Yanqi:

"Who did you just say you wanted to bring as a guest?"

Fu Yanqi: "It's Wu Yue, ma'am.

The one you met during the mission scenario before. When you saw her last time, you didn't look happy, so I believe there must be some misunderstanding.

However, since Madam Patriarch has been occupied with many matters recently, Yan Qi won't disturb you further.

I'll take my leave now."

Watching Fu Yanqi actually preparing to leave, Fu Yixue was grinding her teeth in frustration!

What kind of idiot had she raised? After being refused once, didn't he know to persist further?

Wasn't this an important teammate?

Wasn't this a good friend!

Shouldn't one move heaven and earth for good friends?

If she refused, couldn't he just hold a knife to her throat and force her to agree!
