Chapter 2163: Chapter 719: Human Nature (2)

——That is the Divine Weapon of the past ’Bow God’ Tian Yi.

His Majesty borrowed this weapon from somewhere and temporarily entrusted it to her for use.

His Majesty also designed a powerful secret ceremony for her, so that in the future she could promote to First Grade, Super-grade, or even achieve Divine Enthronement, without any obstacles.

But the time is not right now.

Ji Qianqian immediately noticed that Chu Rulai, who followed behind Chu Ming, was watching the hand she had reached into her sleeve.

Ji Qianqian felt a slight movement in her heart, but her face remained unchanged: "Your voice has become pleasant."

Chu Ming’s voice used to sound like a broken gong.

Her complexion has also improved a lot, no longer covered by a layer of black aura as before.

Besides, there has been a change in her character,

When she first became an evil corpse, Chu Ming not only carried a lot of resentment, but also appeared lifeless, peculiar, and crooked.

"Is that so?"

Chu Ming proudly touched her throat: "Two months ago, His Majesty praised my effort and slightly completed my Inner Heaven and Earth."

Crucially, her physical body also underwent some changes; her flesh and blood regained a trace of vitality and warmth.

Although her current status is still neither alive nor dead, at least she isn’t utterly a cold, decaying corpse like before.

"I see."

Ji Qianqian nodded slightly.

She indeed felt that Chu Ming’s aura had become more restrained.

The more perfect the Inner Heaven and Earth is, the more restrained the aura becomes.

So, for people like Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, most cannot even sense their external spiritual mechanism.

She then warned with a hint in her eyes: "Since His Majesty holds you in high regard, you should be aware and do your utmost for him! I also received news that last night you engaged in rampant slaughter, not only killing ten thousand Martial Cultivators overnight in Xiangshu states but also several Super-grades died at your hands?"

Ji Qianqian initially had a strong aversion to Chu Ming.

But after working together for so many years, her strong aversion had almost been worn down.

She now actually felt quite sorry for this woman.

In her early years, she was just a girl spoiled by her parents, slammed in her head at Formless Divine Sect, only to realize the reality later, but then was trapped by her uncle, betrayed by her father and family, leading to her current plight.

However, despite sympathy, Ji Qianqian still remained constantly vigilant toward Chu Ming.

Chu Ming showed no displeasure after hearing her words.

She had experienced the sentiments of the world, hearing a touch of personal concern behind Ji Qianqian’s warning and advice.

Such concern was rare for her.

Ji Qianqian, as a woman, was actually the kindest person.

"Worthy of being the leader of the Police Pool of Blood, with quite an acute sense of information."

Chu Ming chuckled, brushing her hair at the forehead: "Don’t worry, I have my own discretion. All those killed had their path to destruction. Those Super-grades had dubious intentions and weren’t too honest. The local prominent clans tried to use the power of these Super-grade Martial Cultivators for self-preservation. I cleared the Southwest as commanded by His Majesty; how can I let them roam free in the world? Some things are inconvenient for His Majesty to do, so he uses my blade for it. Isn’t that the reason His Majesty employs me?"

Chu Ming pointed forward again: "Qianqian, aren’t you doing the same thing? When greed and jealousy blind the hearts of people, only strict law enforcement, using thunderous measures and severe punishment to deter, can let them know the right from wrong, appreciate the balance, thus demonstrating the benevolence of the Holy Emperor."

Ji Qianqian remained silent.

The Southwest states had been under Dalv governance longer than the Heluo Two States, yet were never fully compliant. The local aristocratic families had consistently criticized the court’s land distribution policy.

Recently, they even colluded with some Super-grade Martial Cultivators unsealed by Chu Xisheng.

These nine thousand Demigods weren’t all grateful to Chu Xisheng, nor were they all willing to strive for the rejuvenation of the Divine Continent Clan.

Many among them are rebellious, ambitious heroes, who chose self-sealing under duress to secure a future.

Originally suppressed by Chu Xisheng’s power and prestige, neither the Southwestern aristocrats nor the Demigod Martial Cultivators dared to act rashly.

However, when Jidu’s command, the Lord of Envy and Lord of Desire’s Divine Power began to ravage the Mortal World, these people started showing restlessness.

"Your thoughts are not wrong."

Ji Qianqian shook her head gravely: "The problem is you killed many without evidence, executed innocents. Such actions cause not only gossip in the court but also make it difficult for His Majesty."

Chu Ming gave a rueful smile.

She thought that after today, gossip in the court would be far beyond simple chatter.

In the future, ministers from Yi, Shu, and Xiang regions would probably pile reports criticizing her up to three feet high.

"At this season, where do I have the leisure to find evidence? As long as their conduct is suspicious, it’s enough for my Vengeance Blade to sense enemy intent. Should I wait until they truly rebel and cause the situation to worsen?

Look now, how stable the Southwest states are; I can ensure within ten days that no one dares to cause trouble there. If His Majesty were to reprimand me for this, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Chu Ming trusted Chu Xisheng.

Knew well that Chu Xisheng would never discard his chess pieces like Emperor Jianyuan at will.

She then flew up into the air: "Won’t chat with you anymore; the Empress has returned, I must go report to her."

Seeing this, Ji Qianqian frowned slightly but still reminded aloud: "Chu Ming! Be careful!"

Chu Ming listened and laughed heartily: "You’re worried about my father, right?"
