"Yes." Zhu Que's forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was full of fear as she replied.
"Alright then. Go and arrange for the ceremony to be prepared. I want everyone in Misty City to know that I am their City Lord." Sei Itō's body exuded a faint imperial aura, attacking Zhu Que's heart that had already been planted with the seed of fear.
"Yes." Under the impact of the momentum, Vermilion Bird, who was more and more afraid of Ito Mori, quickly responded.
"I will wait for you in your room. Don't think about running away. I have already left a spiritual imprint on your body. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, as long as I want to, I can capture you." Sei Itō said again.
"Zhu Que doesn't dare." Zhu Que's body trembled slightly as she said in a trembling voice.
Just now, she really wanted to use the time when the people were preparing for the ceremony to escape from Misty City on horseback. She wanted to get as far away from Sei Itō as possible. But who knew that as soon as this idea appeared, Sei Itō would immediately see through it. This made Zhu Que even more terrified of Sei Itō. As for the spiritual imprint on her body, regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhu Que didn't want to try it again.
"Go." Sei Itō said lightly. Then with a thought, he put the unconscious Cang Long into the Rubik's Cube and disappeared in front of Zhu Que.
"Whew. What a scary man." A cold wind blew past. Zhu Que suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and her entire body went limp. She let out a long breath and whispered to herself with lingering fear.
After a while, she stood up on the roof and used her qinggong to rush to the square. She went to prepare for Sei Itō's City Lord ascension ceremony.
Of course, during this process, Zhu Que didn't forget to ask people to ride horses to the snow castle to take a look. She wanted to ask the City Lord's father for help, but when she heard that the City Lord had disappeared and that all the guards in the snow castle were dead, she completely gave up on that idea and calmly commanded the people in the city.
After half a day, the entire ceremony was finished.
The Vermillion Bird left everyone and returned to her room alone. Finally, she stopped in front of her bedroom door.
"Creak."
Vermilion Bird reached out and pushed the door open. He walked into the room and knelt down on one knee in front of the bed on the left side of the room. He lowered his head and reported, "Sir, the ceremony is ready."
"Let's go." Sei Itō put down his legs and stood up from the bed.
"Yes." Vermilion Bird nodded, got up, and led Sei Itō to the location of the ceremony.
About five or six minutes later. The two of them arrived at the so-called location of the ceremony. It was a tall building that overlooked the entire Misty City's plaza. In the square below the platform, there was a large crowd of people. Hundreds of people were squeezed together, and all of them had nervous expressions on their faces. Obviously, they were worried about Sei Itō, the so-called new City Lord. Everyone was a little unsure in their hearts.
"The City Lord has arrived!" At this time, the Vermilion Bird walked to the front of the parapet wall in front of the platform. That crisp and high-pitched voice instantly suppressed the chaotic buzzing in the square.
At the same time, Sei Itō walked forward. His face appeared in front of everyone in the city.
"From today onwards, I am the City Lord of Misty City. Your new City Lord! "Sei Itō announced loudly.
"Hua ~" As soon as his voice fell, no matter how nervous they were before, after seeing their new City Lord, Sei Itō, everyone in the square knelt down and shouted in unison, "Greetings, City Lord."
"Vermilion Bird." Then, Sei Itō called out.
"Your subordinate is here." The Vermilion Bird replied while kneeling on one knee.
"I hereby appoint you as the Deputy City Lord. You will be in charge of everything in Misty City. You will be in charge of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Legions." Sei Itō appointed.
"Ah!?" The Vermilion Bird, who didn't expect to receive so many benefits as a surrendered general, was stunned. She subconsciously raised her head to look at Sei Itō in front of her and made a sound of disbelief.
"Hmm?" Sei Itō frowned slightly and glanced at the Vermilion Bird beside him.
Feeling Sei Itō's gaze, the Vermilion Bird immediately came back to her senses. She quickly suppressed the excitement and complicated emotions in her heart and shouted loudly, "Yes!"
Then, Sei Itō said a few simple words to the people and soldiers in the city. After that, he ended the ceremony and brought the Vermilion Bird back to the City Lord's mansion in the depths of Misty City.
"Vermilion Bird." Sei Itō called out.
"Yes." The Vermilion Bird replied.
"You will accompany me tonight." Sei Itō said lightly.
"… Yes." The Vermilion Bird's expression changed slightly and a touch of bitterness emerged in her heart. She lowered her head and replied with a sad expression. Then, she raised her hands and slowly took off the armor and clothes on her body one by one. Not long after, a beautiful body with fair and delicate skin appeared in front of Sei Itō. It didn't look like the skin of a woman who had lived in a bitter cold place for a long time. Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, without a trace of excess fat. Instead, it was full of firmness and beauty.
Seeing this, Sei Itō, whose eyes were full of admiration, beckoned with his hand. The Vermilion Bird walked in front of him and let Sei Itō take her into his arms and place her on the bed. Her lips were sealed by Sei Itō's lips.
Their tongues were entangled, and a strange feeling that she had never felt before began to gradually rise in Vermilion Bird's heart, causing her to gradually relax her body subconsciously, and from the initial passive acceptance, she took the initiative to welcome Itosei.
"Hmph ~" A moment later, accompanied by a sudden muffled groan, the Vermilion Bird completely completed the transformation from a young girl to a married woman.
"I have already passed on the mental cultivation method of the sixth layer of the Book of the Chaos, the Indigo Ocean. Stay here today and properly digest the essence I left in your body. As for the matters outside, we will deal with them later." The next morning, Sei Itō got off the wooden bed and changed into a clean set of clothes with the help of several beautiful maids.
"Yes." The Vermilion Bird reluctantly sat up on the bed and pulled the blanket over her chest with one hand. Her face was filled with a different kind of radiance as she replied.
After that, Sei Itō didn't say anything else and left the room under the gaze of the Vermilion Bird, disappearing behind the door that the maids had closed.
"Could this be considered a blessing in disguise …" The Vermilion Bird, who was left alone in the room, couldn't help but bitterly smile with a complicated expression as she felt the boundless power contained in her body and the Indigo Ocean mental cultivation method of the sixth layer of the Book of the Chaos that she had always yearned for.
Then, she sat up properly and assumed a posture on the bed with her palms facing the sky. Following the newly obtained Indigo Ocean mental cultivation method, she began to digest the power in her body.
"After digesting the power in my body, I should gain ten years of strength, right?" The Vermilion Bird thought as she circulated her energy.
On the other side, Sei Itō, who had left the bedroom, came to the study of the city lord's mansion and sat cross-legged on a large praying mat placed inside. Then, with a thought, he released the embroidered captain and her second son, Ji Fa, who had been locked up by him for almost two days.
"Eh? Where is this place? "Ji Fa, who suddenly discovered that his surroundings had changed, asked in puzzlement.
"Greetings, Mister." The embroidered captain, on the other hand, relied on her many years of battle experience and keen eyesight to instantly discover Sei Itō sitting cross-legged at the side. She cupped her fists respectfully and greeted him.
"Sister Xiu, who is he?" Ji Fa, who had also discovered Sei Itō because of the embroidered captain, asked in puzzlement.
"You can call me Teacher." Without waiting for the embroidered captain to reply, Sei Itō spoke first.
"Ah?" The embroidered captain was shocked when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Sei Itō. She couldn't understand at all. He was clearly the person who had robbed her second son in exchange for benefits. Why would he suddenly want to take her second son as his student?
"Ah? Why? "Ji Fa asked in puzzlement.
"Because I made a promise with someone to teach you for a year, so I can't be considered your master. However, because I am teaching you, you have to call me Teacher." Sei Itō calmly explained.
"May I ask who that person is, Mister?" The embroidered captain asked curiously.
"Nuwa." Sei Itō glanced at the embroidered captain indifferently and replied.
"Ah!" The embroidered captain couldn't help but let out a cry of shock when she heard this. However, a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on the embroidered captain's face. She hurriedly pulled Ji Fa aside and bowed to Sei Itō. "Second Young Master, quickly pay your respects to Mister."
When Ji Fa heard this, he knew what was good for him and obediently knelt down and bowed to Sei Itō. "Ji Fa pays his respects to Mister."
The moment Ji Fa knelt down, a surge of Nine-Five Dragon Qi suddenly emanated from Ji Fa's body and surged towards Sei Itō. Sei Itō, who was sitting upright on the praying mat, didn't dodge. He flipped his palm and took out the imperial jade seal — the Jade Annulus of He Clan. He shook it with his strength and a gentle white light surged out, absorbing the Nine-Five Dragon Qi emanating from Ji Fa's body.
"This is …" The embroidered captain, who couldn't understand what was happening, looked at Sei Itō in shock.
This change didn't last long. In less than half a minute, it calmed down and Sei Itō's figure was revealed once again. Sei Itō didn't explain to the embroidered captain's confusion. He flipped his palm and put away the imperial jade seal. Then, he pointed at Ji Fa and shot out a bright stream of light that instantly disappeared into Ji Fa's forehead.
"Hmm …" Ji Fa immediately felt his head swell as if something had been forcefully stuffed into it. It gave him a splitting headache and he couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Second Young Master?!" The embroidered captain called out worriedly.
"I'm fine, Big Sister Xiu." After a while, Ji Fa felt that his head no longer hurt and he comforted her.
At this moment, Sei Itō, who hadn't spoken since Ji Fa's headache, spoke again. "I've already imparted the ten levels of the Book of the Chaos to you. From tomorrow onwards, come to me for two hours every day. I'll guide you on how to cultivate the Book of the Chaos."
"Yes, Master." Ji Fa agreed.
