Mei Niang looked at Lord Guang, hesitating to speak. Her daughter would often unintentionally mention Niu Youde in front of her parents. In addition, Lord Guang knew a lot of insider information from his position. Her daughter couldn't help but ask about Niu Youde. She didn't believe that Lord Guang couldn't tell that her daughter was interested in Niu Youde. How would he dare to let her go play with him? However, she said that they would only be ordinary friends. She knew too well about the things between men and women. With her daughter's beauty, what if something happened?
The Duke of Guang Ling, who was about to leave, glanced at her inconspicuously. He ignored her hesitation and walked away in big strides.
She was too clear about the look in Lord Guang's eyes. It was the kind of look that he would not say much to you. It was useless to ask, and it might even make Lord Guang unhappy. Although the relationship between husband and wife was harmonious now, she was still quite afraid of Lord Guang. After knowing this, it was not convenient to ask him again.
Furthermore, she was very clear that a person like Lord Guangling wouldn't speak carelessly. There must be a reason for him to say something so abrupt. However, she was more worried that Lord Guangling would use his daughter as a chess piece. She knew that a person like Lord Guangling might value the affection of his children when he was free, but once there was a need, he would always consider the big picture as his goal. He could sacrifice anyone in the family.
The mother and daughter sent Lord Guang off respectfully at the door.
After watching Guang Ling Gong disappear, Mei Niang tilted her head and looked at her daughter. She found that Guang Mei 'er had a face full of reverie and was slightly absent-minded. They were both people of that age. She secretly shouted in her heart and asked, "Mei' er, you don't really want to go to the Ghost City to play, do you?"
"I heard it's a dark place. I don't want to go." Guang Mei 'er pouted and snorted in disdain. She found a random excuse and ran away. However, as soon as she returned to her room, she immediately closed the door. She pressed her back against the door and bit her lip. She couldn't help but recall the scene when those hands wandered all over her body.
As she thought about it, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and realized that it was burning hot.
She pressed her back against the door and remained silent for a long time. Then, she took out a starbell and looked at it, seemingly hesitating for a long time. In the end, she invoked her arts and shook it.
Miao Yi was really busy right now. After the matter of promotion was settled, he was now thinking about reporting the positions of the one hundred thousand troops. He locked himself in his room and sat behind his desk, thinking about the words to use in his report. After all, there was still the Xiahou family in the middle.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly receive a very unexpected message. It was a messenger that he had never contacted before. It was none other than Guang Mei 'er.
When he thought about how this person was just like her name, a peerless beauty that was about to bloom, especially when they had a little bit of ambiguity in the past. Thinking about it, Miao Yi felt a little emotional. However, he was also a little puzzled. Why would she contact him? After pondering for a while, he found Xing Ling's reply: Is it Guang Mei 'er?
Guang Mei 'er: Lord Niu, I heard that you have been promoted to the Netherworld's Domain Chief. It's not too late to congratulate you, right?
Miao Yi politely replied, 'I'm flattered. Do you have any instructions for me?'
Guang Mei 'er: How would I dare to order you? I'm just a weak woman, I can't compare to you.
Miao Yi: I'm just a small official. Heavenly King Guang's subordinates are as numerous as the hairs on a cow. How could I possibly be worthy of your attention?
Guang Mei 'er: It's boring to talk about this. Let me ask you, do you still mean what you said back then?
Miao Yi was taken aback. 'Did I say anything? Fox Doubts: What words?
Guang Mei 'er: You said we were friends. Don't tell me you've forgotten about it already?
He was wondering what it was. So it was this. Miao Yi hurriedly replied, 'I didn't forget, I didn't forget. I'm just afraid that Miss Guang won't be able to get close to me.'
Guang Mei 'er:' Hmph! Are you telling the truth? '
Miao Yi couldn't possibly be so inconsiderate. He casually replied, 'I really can't be more sincere. It's my good fortune to be able to be friends with Miss Guang.'
Guang Mei 'er:' I heard that you called people like us cowards at the Heavenly Elder's birthday banquet. I thought you were looking down on people like us who rely on our fathers now that you've become a duke. '
Miao Yi immediately replied, 'Others are others. Miss Guang is an exception. '
Guang Mei 'er:' Don't just say it with your mouth. How about I go to the phantom market one day? Don't chase me away then! '
Miao Yi thought to himself. 'The phantom market isn't my home anyway.' He continued to be courteous. 'You're welcome to visit anytime.'
Guang Mei 'er:' You said it. I didn't force you. It's settled then. '
After ending the call and confirming that she might really come, Miao Yi was still a little puzzled. He didn't think that Guang Mei 'er just wanted to come here to play. Having come this far, Miao Yi's thoughts were getting more and more complicated. Saying that he was friends with Guang Mei 'er was just a perfunctory way. He knew very well that he couldn't be friends with someone of Guang Mei' er's status. Not to mention Guang Mei 'er, even the friends around him had gradually changed. The concept of' friends' was getting further and further away from him. So when Guang Mei 'er said that she would come to the phantom market to see him as a friend, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. His first thought was to suspect that the other party had some ulterior motives, especially with Guang Mei' er's background. He was already on guard.
After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered what Long Xin had said before. He suddenly realized that Long Xin had said that Heavenly King Guang had brought him a message. Heavenly King Guang had said that as long as Long Xin was willing to go back, he would be treated generously. He also said that he would send Guang Mei 'er to persuade him.
Thinking up to this point, Miao Yi sneered. Unless Long Xin didn't want to stay any longer, he wouldn't let him go so easily. So what if Heavenly King Guang was here? He couldn't do anything to Miao Yi, and it wouldn't be easy for him to assassinate Miao Yi. Now that he was surrounded by a large number of troops, even an Infinite Transcendence Energy expert wouldn't be able to hurt him so easily.
Once he felt that he had thought things through, he immediately went to talk to Yun Zhiqiu. Yun Zhiqiu was an expert at socializing. If Guang Mei 'er really came to persuade him, then Yun Zhiqiu could deal with her. Naturally, Yun Zhiqiu wouldn't refuse. Miao Yi's matters were her matters to begin with. However, Yun Zhiqiu still teased him out of habit, "Back then, Heavenly King Guang wanted to marry his daughter to you. Niu Er, do you think Heavenly King Guang still hasn't given up on his evil intentions?"
Miao Yi said in a self-deprecating manner, "You sure are optimistic about me. The Kou Family was tortured so badly by Master Qing. Do you think this situation is still possible?"
Yun Zhiqiu knew it was impossible, but she just liked to tease Miao Yi and watch him suffer in front of her. After a long and arduous journey of cultivation, the two of them had finally become a loving couple. If they were to waste all their time on other matters, then what was the point? She hoped that this kind of marriage between husband and wife could have a taste of it. She continued to tease, "I've seen that Guang Mei 'er before. She's truly a femme fatale. Even as a woman, my heart wavers when I see her. Are you really not moved at all?" She pointed her index finger at his abdomen and slowly slid it down to his crotch.
'This woman is at it again!' Miao Yi pushed her hand away, rolled his eyes, and turned around to leave.
Yun Zhiqiu turned around and laughed heartily. Her mischievous personality had never changed since she was young.
When it came to women, Miao Yi could only suffer in front of her. He couldn't even say a single word to defend himself. If he tried, she would immediately bring up the one who controlled the Middle Constellations Palace. She would definitely make Miao Yi feel so guilty that he wouldn't even dare to look her in the eye for three days. When he married her all those years ago, he had said that he wouldn't let her down.
Miao Yi turned around and asked about Long Xin's attitude. After confirming that Long Xin wasn't willing to leave, he also made it clear that Guang Mei 'er was coming. In order to prevent Guang Mei' er from bringing any reinforcements, he had Long Xin make preparations to avoid them for a while. Then, he said that he was going out to take care of business.
Guang Mei 'er's matter wasn't the main point at the moment, so it was quickly tossed aside.
After making preparations for a while, Miao Yi reported the details of his troops and the location of the Traversing Moon Palace's headquarters to the Divine Palace. After testing the waters twice before, he tossed out even more important information this time.
The Divine Palace didn't object to Miao Yi's proposal for the position of the Netherworld Commander and approved everything. However, they encountered a setback when it came to the location of the Traversing Moon Palace's headquarters. The Divine Palace had explicitly told them to keep a suitable distance from the Ten Elemental Palaces and to choose another location. This was tantamount to rejecting them.
But where could they choose another location? If there were enough habitable places in the Nether Hell, they would've long been occupied by others. Miao Yi wouldn't even have a chance to become the Netherworld Commander. Even if the Pavilion of Faith and Justice agreed to station a hundred thousand troops on Mount Dangyin, it wouldn't last long. The thin air in Mount Dangyin was not suitable for a large number of troops to live in for long periods of time. It was only slightly better than the other airless planets in the Nether Hell. Storing air from the outside for a long period of time was inconvenient.
As long as the Divine Palace didn't give them a definite answer, Miao Yi would repeatedly report his request, stating the facts, and presenting the difficulties.
Of course, he wouldn't delay other matters just because of this. The Divine Palace agreed to his request. Once the decree arrived, they would immediately gather the personnel to announce the appointment.
Inside the Conference Hall, the main personnel were gathered. Just as Miao Yi had said before, Bluemoon and the other thirty Infinite Transcendence Energy cultivators were all appointed as centurions. Some of them didn't meet the requirements to be a centurion, so they were given temporary titles. The newly recruited others were given the positions of Corporal.
Because of the special circumstances, there were no specific commands for the troops under the centurions other than the one hundred subordinates who were given the quota. The Commander's Office would be in charge of the rest of the troops. The general idea was that the soldiers and generals would all be under the control of the Commander's Office. Only when there were missions would the generals be sent out. The soldiers and generals would be allocated by the Commander's Office, and the soldiers would usually be managed by the generals in turn.
This was how the newly recruited army of a hundred thousand would be dealt with for the time being.
Xu Tangran's wish was fulfilled. He was officially promoted to the Vice Commander of the Netherworld Commander's Office. He was also the only Vice Commander of the Netherworld Commander's Office. Xu Tangran cupped his fists in front of everyone and accepted the order. He was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly. His dream had come true!
Yang Zhaoqing was promoted to Commander. Yan Xiu, who had gone out on an 'errand', also rushed back and was promoted to Commander as well.
