After the two of them left the shop, no one could tell that they were husband and wife. They spoke politely, as if they were just acquaintances.
The two of them went straight to the West District Governor's Office. They weren't going to see Kou Wenlan, but to bring Yun Zhiqiu to register her shop. Every shop would be registered in each district so that they could collect taxes in the future.
Since she didn't want outsiders to know about their relationship, Yun Zhiqiu didn't want Miao Yi to accompany her. However, after experiencing that bastard Xiahou Longcheng, Miao Yi was worried about the Heavenly Court. Yun Zhiqiu might not be the prettiest, but Miao Yi knew that she was definitely the seductive type. She wasn't too familiar with the situation in the higher realms either. If she couldn't give an answer and was taken advantage of by those guys, wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?
Yun Zhiqiu saw through his thoughts and was secretly amused. However, she was also quite pleased with herself. She liked it when he knew that he cared about her.
Inside the Deacon's Hall, everyone knew that Miao Yi was a new colleague, even though they weren't familiar with him. Moreover, Miao Yi had three segments of golden armor.
The so-called 'Golden Armor Three Segments' referred to the metal bands hanging from the collar of Miao Yi's Golden Armor. This symbolized his rank among the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals of the Celestial Court. Each segment increased in rank, and each additional segment represented a higher rank. The Golden Armor Miao Yi was wearing was the symbol of a Third Tier Minor General.
Those who wore silver armor were Heavenly Soldiers, those who wore golden armor were Heavenly Generals, those who wore purple armor were Generals, and those who wore red armor were Generals. The rank of each rank was determined by the number of segments on either side of the collar. Among each rank, six segments were the highest.
Kou Wenlan was only a golden armor with five segments, while the Great Commanders in charge of the four districts had six segments. Madam Biyue, who was in charge of the Heavenly Origin Planet, was a Third Tier General, Purple Armor.
And under the command of the Eastern District Commander, other than Kou Wenlan who had five Golden Armor Segments, only the two Deputy Commanders to his left and right had four Golden Armor Segments. Below them were six Golden Armor Segments with three Golden Armor Segments. Including Miao Yi, there were a total of seven. Of course, everyone else had their own duties. Miao Yi was the only one with no duties.
With such a status, no one would obstruct him from entering the eastern governor's manor.
The person in charge of this hall was named Xu Tangran. He was one of the seven golden-armored, three-section generals in the eastern governor's manor. Some of the shop registrations didn't require his help. His subordinates would handle it. However, someone tactfully informed Xu Tangran in advance, and Xu Tangran immediately rushed over from the back hall. It wasn't because he wanted to give Miao Yi face, but because he had heard that Miao Yi was recruited by Kou Wenlan. He couldn't figure out the relationship between the two of them. He was not to be trifled with.
With Miao Yi stepping forward to greet him, the staff casually asked Yun Zhiqiu a few questions about his background and what kind of shop he was planning to open. After that, they happily approved it and ordered someone to hand it over to Deacon Xu Tangran for his signature.
Xu Tangran strode in before the items could be sent out. His subordinates stood up to greet him. Miao Yi immediately cupped his fists and said, "I've long heard of Deacon Xu's great name. Please take care of me, Brother Xu. "
Xu Tangran chuckled and cupped his fists. "Brother Niu, you're too kind! Our brothers have been waiting for you to treat us, but you haven't done anything yet! "
"Of course, of course. I'll treat you later!" Miao Yi promised.
"Brother Niu, what brings you here today?" As soon as Xu Tangran spoke, someone immediately reported the matter.
After learning that Miao Yi was here to accompany someone to register a shop transaction, Xu Tangran's gaze fell on Yun Zhiqiu, who was bowing beside him. His eyes instantly brightened, and he subconsciously looked him up and down. He smiled at Miao Yi and asked, "May I know who Brother Niu is?"
Miao Yi replied, "A friend!"
After looking at the jade disk in his hand, Xu Tangran didn't ask any more questions. He immediately imprinted the disk with his transcendence seal and handed it to Yun Zhiqiu, as if he wanted to have a chat with him.
Miao Yi immediately told Yun Zhiqiu to wait outside.
However, Yun Zhiqiu turned around. Xu Tangran immediately transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, "This woman has a voluptuous figure. She's definitely a beauty. Her demeanor is superb, and her demeanor is seductive. One look and you can tell that she's a beauty among women. Brother Niu, if you don't mind. Why don't you try matchmaking me with her? "
'Matchmaking you, my ass!' Miao Yi's expression darkened. "Brother Xu, are you slapping my face? I've been courting her all this time! "
"Uh … I'm sorry!" Xu Tangran immediately cupped his fists in embarrassment.
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'Thank goodness I came with her. Otherwise, who knows what would've happened.'
He was well aware of Yun Zhiqiu's beauty. The reason he had taken a liking to her was naturally because of her looks. If she were an ugly freak, Miao Yi wouldn't risk his life to marry her. Naturally, she had something that attracted him. If she could attract him, then she could attract other men as well.
From a selfish man's point of view, Miao Yi didn't want Yun Zhiqiu to show her face in public. No one would dare to touch her in the small world because of her background, but it was different in the outside world. However, if he wanted to keep Yun Zhiqiu in a cage like a canary, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep her for long. This gave him a headache.
After the two of them talked for a while, they agreed on a time for Miao Yi to treat them. Xu Tangran was in charge of organizing the group, so they parted ways.
He went out to meet Yun Zhiqiu, and they returned to the messy shop together. Yun Zhiqiu was in a hurry to return to the small world, so she handed over a storage ring to Miao Yi.
She didn't come here just to see Miao Yi, but also to deliver something. The first batch of high-purity Red Crystals produced by the mantises she reared had already been produced. Seeing that Miao Yi hadn't returned to collect them, she was worried about his safety, so she personally delivered them to him so that he could have a good set to protect himself.
Having just arrived, Yun Zhiqiu didn't stay for a day longer and left immediately. She was in a hurry to get people to set up the shop, so Miao Yi couldn't make her stay, nor could he send her off.
That night, Miao Yi hosted the East Flower Garden and invited a group of colleagues to a banquet. He even invited the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel's dancers.
The dancers were free of charge. Mama Xu was generous for once, and Xue Linglong also appeared free of charge. It was a show of friendship to congratulate Miao Yi on his promotion.
In the large waterside pavilion by the lake, the lights were bright, and the dancers were dancing.
The seven Deputy Generals of the Eastern District, including Miao Yi, were all present. Aside from Miao Yi, who didn't have any subordinates, the others had brought a dozen or so subordinates with them. With nearly a hundred people present, it was a lively scene.
The dancing and drinking were in high spirits. When Xue Linglong made her appearance, the crowd immediately cheered.
Xu Tangran even patted Miao Yi's shoulder hard, as if to say that Miao Yi was generous enough to even invite Xue Linglong.
"Amorous Flowers, Snowy Moon, Intoxicated Tonight, Intoxicated Tonight …"
As soon as the heavenly sounds of the stringed instruments rang out, the crowd fell silent.
Miao Yi's hand froze as he brought the wine cup to his lips. A hint of awe flashed across his eyes as he watched Xue Linglong sing as she danced gracefully. He was a little surprised.
This wasn't the first time he had been in close contact with Xue Linglong. However, when Xue Linglong's voice changed, and as she danced with her cloud-like sleeves, it was a stunning sight to behold. Especially when the fallen flowers that had been laid out beforehand danced along with her. Their coordination was flawless, as if she was the Hundred Flowers Fairy herself.
Miao Yi could be considered to have some power in the small world. It wasn't that he hadn't enjoyed good singing and dancing before, but compared to Xue Linglong, it was nothing.
Xue Linglong was indeed very beautiful. Before, Miao Yi felt that this woman's beauty was tinged with naivety, giving off a silly feeling. Tonight, he truly witnessed Xue Linglong's brilliance. As expected of the Courtesan Queen of Heaven Incense Brothel. As soon as Xue Linglong made her appearance, all the other flowers wilted. No one on the stage dared to compete with her.
Xu Tangran seemed to particularly enjoy commenting on women. He had already transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, "Look at that slender waist and those four limbs. They are truly soft as if they have no bones! The taste of the bridal chamber must be endless. If I can have a night of pleasure, it would be worth it even if I died. It's a pity that this woman has our Commander Kou, Xiahou Longcheng, and Huangfujun. With Y's protection, no one dares to pluck even a single flower. Otherwise, they would have long since taken her as their personal property … "
Before he could finish speaking, someone was up to no good. While everyone was still in a daze, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky. Everyone was shocked, but it was already too late by the time they reacted. With a loud crash, the roof tiles shattered and fell.
However, the people present were not to be trifled with. Almost in unison, they cast their arts and pushed away the boulders and broken roof tiles. The dishes in front of the people sitting in front of them were untainted by even a speck of dust.
Rumble, splash, splash. The messy sounds created splashes on the surface of the lake.
"Who is it?!" Everyone stood up and shouted. This person was too audacious. Someone actually dared to behave atrociously in the East District. He must be tired of living.
On the stage, Xue Linglong seemed to be shocked as well. The singing and dancing had already stopped, and the musical instruments had also gone silent.
Miao Yi stood up and looked back. His pupils instantly shrank. He knew that someone would come looking for trouble after the news spread, but he didn't expect it to come at this time.
The person who came was none other than Xiahou Longcheng. He swaggered over from the bridge with a cold smile on his face. He was extremely arrogant, and there were four people following behind him.
Needless to say, the only person who dared to cause trouble like this was Xiahou Longcheng.
The group of people immediately fell silent. Those who had heard the news knew that Xiahou Longcheng had a very strong background. No one could afford to offend him. Only Commander Kou Wenlan dared to do so.
The group of people barged in unscrupulously. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals sitting at the back naturally didn't dare to provoke them, so they all made way for them.
"Yo!" Xiahou Longcheng, who walked into the waterside pavilion, looked up at the roof and was instantly amused. "What's wrong with you guys? Although this is a sissy's territory, you can't just watch the show and listen to the music. You guys can't just lift someone's roof just because you're unhappy. This is simply outrageous! "
Xu Tangran said, "Commander Xiahou, why do you ask when you already know the answer? It was obviously you who smashed it."
Xiahou Longcheng glanced at him and said indifferently, "You can drink indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately. Which eye of yours saw me smash it? If you can find a witness, I will immediately eat this broken pavilion! "
"…" Xu Tangran didn't know what to say. Indeed, no one saw it. Just now, everyone was engrossed in singing and dancing, so no one had the mind to pay attention to this. Perhaps there were other people in East Flower Garden who saw it, but who would dare to stand out and testify? They would definitely be killed by Xiahou Longcheng later.
Another deputy general, Bu Lianzhong, said in a deep voice, "Commander Xiahou, you are deliberately here to cause trouble."
Xiahou Longcheng chuckled and said, "I heard a big commotion here, so I came to see what happened. Why? Can't I just walk around here? If that's really the case, the next time your people from East District run to my West District, will I break your legs? "
He waved his hand. "Come, teach these two guys who slandered me a lesson!"
The four people behind him immediately rushed towards Xu Tangran and Bu Lianzhong.
