"How long will it take?"
Zi Que 'er was so happy that her heart was about to fly out. She could not help but ask.
Although she had guessed that Ding Ning was recovering, she had not confirmed it after all. Hence, she was unsettled. At this moment, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, was completely at ease.
"My physical body will recover completely by today. However, my soul still needs some time. It will probably take another two days."
Ding Ning made a rough estimation. His physical body could absorb sunlight to recover, so he would be able to reconstruct it completely by today. However, out of the Five Elements Martial Souls, only the Fire Martial Soul could absorb Yang Fire. The other Martial Souls could only be repaired in the willpower space. He estimated that it would still take another two days.
"Alright, we understand. Focus on your recovery. Don't worry about what's happening outside."
Kong Lei's face was glowing as if she had been injected with a stimulant. She looked like a completely different person compared to her previous stubborn self.
"Uh … alright. Be careful. Remember, don't be stupid and force yourself. If you really can't do it, just pretend to be scared and wait for me to recover."
He began to reconstruct his meridians. Ding Ning had to use his consciousness to guide it. He did not dare to be distracted. After a hurried instruction, he immersed himself in resisting the pain of healing. The feeling of thousands of little bugs crawling all over his body was so f * cking satisfying.
"Great, the marshal is still alive. This is really great."
Lang Yuan no longer had any doubts. He was so excited that he was incoherent and waved his fists excitedly.
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. That's my big brother. How could my big brother die? Huang Sheng, that idiot, was still crying his eyes out. How embarrassing."
Mystery said proudly. He had completely forgotten that he had cried his heart out and fainted a few times.
However, at this moment, everyone was in a state of excitement and no one went to expose his past.
"No, we can't be in this state. We're too excited and happy. If we go out, people will see through us."
Zi Que 'er looked at everyone's high spirits and shook her head in distress. However, she was glowing at this moment and did not look like a widow who had just lost her husband.
"Then what should we do? I can't suppress the excitement in my heart. "
He Ling bit her lower lip and scratched her head in distress. However, her big, watery eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
"Acting is also a technical job. His spirit is completely different. It's not easy to fool him."
Kong Lei was also extremely distressed.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. This is joy that comes from the bottom of our hearts. Perhaps we can hold back our laughter, but we can't hide our spirits no matter what."
Zi Que 'er was also at her wit's end. She did not even dare to step out of the door.
"Yes, let's put on makeup. My husband taught me how to do makeup. "
He Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands. She had lived in seclusion for a long time, so she was very interested in new things.
Ding Ning used to enjoy the pleasures of the boudoir with them. He helped them draw their eyebrows, put on makeup, and braid their hair. She felt it was very novel and pestered Ding Ning to learn it seriously.
"That's the only way. But what about the two of them? Two men can't be wearing makeup, right? "
Zi Que 'er was instantly moved.
Although she had not learned Ding Ning's makeup skills, she had seen it before. All he had to do was slightly change the shape of his eyebrows or apply some powder on the shaded parts of his face, and it was as if he had changed into another person. It was extremely magical. Strictly speaking, she felt that it could not even be called makeup. It was more like a disguise.
However, it was very easy to be seen by others when a man put on makeup. Moreover, although the women of the demon race were passionate and bold, and dared to love and hate, they placed great importance on keeping a distance between men and women after marriage. He Ling was putting on makeup for two men, and it was inevitable that there would be physical contact. If word got out, her reputation would be ruined.
"It's easy for the two of us. Isn't it just makeup?"
Mystery squatted on the ground and wiped the dust on her face. The corners of her mouth curved downwards, and she looked dusty and listless.
"Madams, just don't reveal any flaws. We can handle it easily."
Lang Yuan followed suit and wiped the dust on his face as well. Although he still looked a little energetic, as the Right Commander of the Wolf Guards, it would not be suspicious if he was a little energetic.
"Alright, then you guys can go out first. For the next two days, you guys will stay in the house on the east side and ensure my husband's safety. After we're done with our makeup, we still have to go to the mourning hall to guard the coffin.
Zi Que 'er nodded her head in satisfaction and began to delegate the tasks.
"Alright, I'll go and hand over the work at hand. For the next two days, Lang Hao will be in charge of guarding outside."
Lang Yuan nodded his head in response.
"Oh yes, Lang Yuan, arrange for someone to inform You Wuji and Bai Xiaolou. Tell them that sister-in-law has arranged for me to go out and do something. I won't be going out for the next two days."
Mystery thought for a moment and understood why Zi Que 'er was unwilling to tell You Wuji and Bai Xiaolou.
Although he hung out with You Wuji and Bai Xiaolou all day long, in his heart, there was no one more important than the safety of his big brother, Ding Ning.
If it was only You Wuji, he would trust him completely. But with Bai Xiaolou, he might not be so sure. After all, that fellow had once pursued Bai Xun 'er. In the past, he was still restrained by the spiritual pet contract. But now that the spiritual pet contract had disappeared, who knew if Bai Xiaolou would have a brain cramp and do something reckless.
Although he knew that the chances of that happening were very small, it concerned Ding Ning's safety, so he could not be too cautious.
If Ding Ning knew that he was guarding against Bai Xiaolou as if he was facing a great enemy, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. Although the spiritual connection between him and the spiritual pet had been broken, it was not really gone. It was just that he was too heavily injured and temporarily fell silent.
The binding nature was more subtle, causing the spiritual pet to have a strong feeling of goodwill towards its master. So, Bai Xiaolou could not possibly hurt him.
Very soon, the Marshal's Residence was restored to its gloomy and gloomy state. The candles in front of the mourning hall continued to burn. There was an endless stream of people who came to pay their respects to the Marshal. Among them, there was no lack of strangers.
Although Ding Ning's implementation of the new policies had offended many nobles, and there were countless people who wanted him dead, but at the same time, there were even more people who were grateful to the Marshal because of the new policies.
Among the people who came to pay their respects, there were many people who lived in the outer nine divisions. They came from thousands of miles away, and even did not hesitate to pay a hefty price to enter Thousand Demon City and stay for half a day, just to light a stick of incense and kowtow to this Marshal who had won the hearts of the people, to express their gratitude.
Of course, there were even more veterans who had followed him on the battlefield. After the war ended, as meritorious subjects, they relied on their merits to live a happy and comfortable life. Many veterans even chose to retire and live with their parents and relatives.
Compared to those grateful strangers, they had deeper feelings for Ding Ning, the Marshal. They did not cry when they bled on the battlefield, nor did they cry when their comrades died on the battlefield. However, when they saw the huge portrait in the mourning hall, they could no longer hold back their tears. They knelt on the ground and shouted "Marshal", crying heartbreakingly and heartbreakingly.
Because the Demon Clan advocated bravery, they saw dying on the battlefield as a kind of glory. However, the Marshal did not die on the battlefield, but died in the enemy's schemes. This made them feel aggrieved for Ding Ning, felt sad, and felt that it was not worth it.
Seeing the men crying their hearts out, Kong Xuan and the other women who did not know the truth felt sad from the bottom of their hearts. They felt proud and sad at the same time, and cried loudly with them.
This made Zi Que 'er and the other two women who knew the truth feel very awkward. They did not know whether to cry or laugh, and felt uncomfortable all over as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
They were touched by the passionate feelings of these veterans, but they really felt that it was very funny. They wanted to cry, but there were no tears. They could only cover their faces and watch the thunder but not the rain, torturing them.
…
In the Violent Ape King's Court, King Kong watched You Ye, who had come to deliver the imperial court's decree, leave with a gloomy expression. He threw the decree on the ground and stepped on it fiercely. He spat and scolded, "Ptui, what is this? You want to use me as a weapon? Dream on."
"Big Brother, if we do not obey the decree, your position as King Lord might not be stable. Don't be rash."
King Kong's younger brother, Jin Jie, persuaded him earnestly.
The King Kong Ape Race was a branch of the Violent Ape Race. Although they were strong, they were still controlled by the Violent Ape Race because they were simple-minded. Now that they had finally made a name for themselves, and their big brother had become a King Lord, he had risen along with him. He did not want his big brother to offend the imperial court in a moment of impulse and lose the power that he had just obtained.
"What nonsense are you saying? If it wasn't for the commander who saved me, I would have died long ago. Would I still be standing here alive and kicking? "
King Kong rolled his eyes and scolded without holding back. "Now that the commander's corpse is not even cold, the imperial court can't wait to take back the military power and even attack Lang Kui. Ptui, what a bunch of ungrateful bastards. Why don't they think about it? If it wasn't for the commander, how could they be where they are today? Who wants to be the King Lord? Anyway, I, King Kong, can't do such a shameless thing. "
"Big Brother, I know that the commander saved you and did you a favor, but the commander is no longer here. As long as you are willing to follow the imperial court's decree, your position as King Lord will be stable. Our King Kong Ape Race has been suppressed by the Violent Ape Race for so many years, and we finally have the chance to rise. Even if it is for the sake of the race, you can't be so stubborn."
Jin Jie tried to move his emotions and reason as he begged bitterly.
"Shut up. A man should do what he shouldn't do. What kind of person do you think I am? I would rather not be a King Lord for the rest of my life than do such an ungrateful and shameless thing. If you dare to say more, don't blame me for being merciless and not recognizing you as my younger brother. "
King Kong shouted loudly, causing Jin Jie to lower his head and avoid his gaze.
"Hmph! I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you. I will go drink and enjoy the treatment of a King Lord. "
Seeing that his younger brother was not saying anything, King Kong snorted coldly and swaggered away.
Jin Jie slowly raised his head. His eyes were filled with unswerving determination as he muttered in a low voice, "Big Brother, you owe the Grand Marshal a life, but I don't owe him one. It wasn't easy for our Diamond Ape tribe to survive. I won't allow anyone to take away this opportunity. Since you're unwilling to do it, then let me do it for you."
After he finished speaking, he bent down to pick up the imperial court's edict that had a big footprint on the ground and strode out.
Jin Jie only stopped a cheerful clansman when he was far away from the mansion and out of King Kong's earshot. He ordered, "Gather everyone in the old mansion. The imperial court's edict has come down. Everyone has to follow me to do something."
"There's a fight? Okay, I will go and gather people. "
The King Kong Ape Race was naturally aggressive. Hearing this, the clansman's eyes lit up. He nodded excitedly and was about to gather people.
"Wait, Big Brother is now a King Lord, and he has drunk too much. Don't disturb him. We can handle this small matter."
Jin Jie hurriedly stopped him and warned him.
"Okay, our King Kong Ape Race has finally risen. Everyone has been suppressing a burst of energy and waiting to show off their skills."
The clansman grinned and excitedly ran to inform the other clansmen. When the clansmen received the news, they were all in high spirits. They rubbed their palms together and prepared to fight.
