Questions sur les chansons d'amour - Chapitre 88
It's as if he suddenly fell asleep, or rather, a piece of his time was inexplicably ripped away and can never be found again.
Chapter 189: The Young Left Prime Minister
Since our last argument, Yuwen Ke hasn't paid much attention to me. So, I've always gone to court whenever I felt like it, and skipped it when I didn't. But suddenly, I've become quite busy, attending court with great enthusiasm.
Because I suddenly realized that among the court officials of Tianxing Kingdom, besides Li Jinhuan, there were several other treacherous ministers. Compared to them, Li Jinhuan was merely a primary school student. He usually appeared inscrutable, hiding his evil intentions deep within, giving the impression of being harmless, even gentle and righteous. In reality, if a counterattack were to occur, such people would be the most formidable.
I was immediately delighted when I accidentally discovered them during court that day. I was just wondering what to do for fun. It seemed like a lot of fun to have a few exchanges with people like them and tease them. Although they are powerful, who am I? I am Lin Qingyan, the leader of the number one gang in the world, and an exceptionally intelligent woman! Why would I be afraid of them?
—Speaking of which, it seems that from childhood to adulthood, my favorite thing to do is bully bad people, the worse the bad, the more I like it.
To be a villain, one must be ruthless, have many ruthless methods, and be quick-witted. The challenge is extremely high, and it is quite satisfying to bully them. Especially when you see the villain's face turn into a kaleidoscope and their eyes stare at you with a sinister look, you always feel so happy that you want to shout.
Good people are different. It's not fun to bully them. They just meekly back down or glare at you. They're stiff and have no strength to resist. It's not fun at all.
These few officials of the Heavenly Path Dynasty are clearly the worst of the worst!
I was so happy I almost jumped for joy.
"Get to work immediately!" With a single command, all sorts of evidence poured into my hands at lightning speed. From crimes punishable by the extermination of nine generations of a family, to petty theft of property, everything was meticulously detailed. Even the words spoken, the names of the servants sent, and their peculiar habits were all crystal clear. The sheer speed and efficiency of this top-tier gang operating in the shadows was astonishing, and I was filled with immense excitement.
As a result, the few truly wicked individuals hidden among the officials began to gradually reveal themselves. At first, they didn't care, but later they became suspicious and uncertain. Unable to find the hidden hand in the shadows, they could only turn their suspicious gazes to their own companions. Later still, as more and more of their secrets were revealed, the officials began to realize what was going on, and their gazes towards them began to change.
Yuwen Ke sat high on his throne, his cold gaze sweeping down, a chilling, dangerous smirk playing on his lips. They were instantly gripped by fear and panic. This Crown Prince, this Crown Prince, was a ruthless and autocratic man; if he wanted to punish them, he would show absolutely no mercy. In their anger and desperation, they lost their composure and, in an attempt to protect themselves, began attacking each other. Watching this spectacle made my stomach ache; I almost cried out in pain.
I don't know if it was because my cat-and-mouse gaze was too excited and obvious, but it was finally caught. The treacherous officials were stunned for a moment, then immediately understood. Their faces turned purple and then pale, and they gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with resentment, as if they wanted to devour me.
I finally managed to stop laughing, lazily straightened up, shrugged indifferently, and nodded at them with a smile. "Want some? Come on, as long as your teeth don't hurt."
Chapter 190: Ru Ying is back
What really frustrated me was that even though my gaze was full of smiles and my face was innocent and harmless, those few ruthless and powerful figures seemed afraid to meet my eyes in the end, and lowered their heads in fear. As for the remaining medium-sized and small-sized traitors, before I could even free up my hands to deal with them, they became apprehensive and their eyes flickered when they saw my gaze sweep over them.
I was stunned for a moment, my jaw almost dropping. Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? This young lady, uh, this Left Prime Minister, is undeniably handsome, with a tall and shapely figure—truly a rare beauty in your time and space! (Ahem, excluding Ru Ying and that dead fox, by the way.) Seriously, are they really that terrifying? Just seeing their faces makes one want to look up to the sky and scream in utter despair…
What I didn't expect was that while I was having a great time, these stories spread among the people, and I suddenly gained all sorts of praise. Lin Ran, the young Left Prime Minister of Tianxing, was upright and honest, with a dignified and awe-inspiring spirit. He cleansed the court and punished corrupt officials, bringing about a new atmosphere throughout the court and the country. The people praised him highly, and even the Crown Prince's ability to recognize talent spread far and wide. Even long afterward, countless self-confident and talented people who had not yet found their patrons flocked to Huaicheng, greatly contributing to the prosperity of Tianxing's descendants and being called the source of talent in later generations.
When Kim Jong-un relayed the message, everyone in the Zhongfangyuan community was utterly dumbfounded.

Ru Ying is back.
As she entered Zhongfang Garden, I was idly cracking sunflower seeds upstairs when I suddenly saw a person slowly walking towards me from the end of the street. Her long hair flowed freely, loosely tied behind her back, and she wore the same light blue long robe as always, with an expressionless face. I was stunned for a moment, both surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but shout, "Ruying!"
Ru Ying looked up, her gaze sweeping across the long, bustling street. Seeing me waving frantically, she suddenly smiled slightly. She rarely smiled, but when she did, it was like a sudden shower of blossoms, breathtaking. Ru Ying quickened her pace, weaving through the crowd staring at her in disbelief, and walked towards me. I laughed and rushed down the stairs to meet her.
"Miss, slow down." Green Ju's voice chased after them.
"Ruying, why are you only coming back now?" I hugged Ruying tightly and complained, "I missed you so much."
Ruying was still not used to being close to people. She seemed to stiffen slightly for a moment, then quickly reached out and gently hugged me, smiling, "Some things took a while, but I'm back now."
She pushed me away and gently flicked my nose. "Look, with so many people around, aren't you ashamed?"
I stuck out my tongue, knowing she was aloof and a little unaccustomed to it, but I still couldn't help complaining, "I've been so busy since I just got back."
Actually, there was nothing for me to do. Zi Ru and Lü Ju managed Zhongfang Garden very well. Apart from me getting involved in the matter of that mysterious man, I didn't ask about anything else.
Chapter 191: [Side Story] Part 5
Master and Qingyan (Part 1)
The first time he encountered her, he was sleeping in a tree. The branches were so thick that she would have been impossible to spot. But when he glanced down, he saw a beautiful, chubby-cheeked doll, its gender indistinguishable, toddling to the tree. The doll looked up, its black, gem-like eyes clear and innocent, utterly pure and adorable. Her gaze immediately fell on him, and then she grinned, her little mouth, still bearing her incomplete teeth, waving her chubby little hands, "Brother...brother...beautiful..."
The master was immediately overjoyed. He was the most vain, narcissistic, and adorable person in his life, and he loved being praised, especially by such a beautiful child. Besides, it is said that human children never lie, right?
He happily jumped down from the tree, reached out to touch the little baby's head, and smiled, thinking about what to say. But the little baby waved its chubby white hands, tugged at his clothes, and haphazardly pulled at him. A small, dark cauldron fell down. He was stunned, his hand frozen in mid-air, and all his words were stuck in his throat.
This wasn't an ordinary small cauldron; it was the vessel of his true form, always kept in his bosom by magic. Even a lesser demon with ten times the power of his own would have absolutely no chance of touching it. How could it have fallen so easily? Could it be...?
He stared blankly at the baby, momentarily forgetting to react.
The little baby lowered his head, and his chubby little hands grabbed the small cauldron. He tilted his head curiously to examine it, his eyes shining brightly, and drool dripped out. "Cake, delicious ﹏﹏" he said, stuffing it into his mouth.
He was startled, snatched the small cauldron, and ran away in a flash.
There is a law among cultivators in the demon realm: every demon has their destined person, and by signing a contract with that person, they can obtain happiness.
He was lazy by nature, used to the life of a wandering demon, and did not fit in with others. So he deliberately left his own time and space and wandered around. He had not known how many years had passed. He was lazy and never took his cultivation seriously. If it were not for dealing with the demon calamities that would appear from time to time, he would probably have abandoned his cultivation altogether.
Not to mention the idea of a destined person and a contract of happiness, he simply disdained that.
After years of aimless wandering, he unexpectedly encountered his destined person in this time and space, which made him feel dizzy for a moment. However, he was disdainful and would only run away if he met him.
Three years later, in the same place, he was sleeping again when he was suddenly awakened by a rich aroma. Looking around, he saw a little girl roasting grasshoppers. He looked fearfully at the firelight at the little girl's feet, and then drooled over the grasshoppers in her hand.
He was inherently afraid of fire. Although he ate ordinary food, his demonic nature was hard to change, and he naturally couldn't resist the temptation of demon food. Having lived for thousands of years, he had never known that demon food cooked over flames could possess such a deadly and alluring aroma. He wondered what would happen once he tasted it...
He swallowed hard.
Even though three years had passed, he, being a demon by birth, recognized the little girl at first glance. After hesitating for a moment, his eyes darted around, and he jumped down from the tree and walked towards the little girl. He smiled beautifully and affectionately, "Little sister, what are you doing?"
The little girl looked up and saw a handsome older brother talking to her. She quickly raised her hand with a smile, "Brother, I'm roasting grasshoppers."
So this is called a grasshopper? He swallowed hard, forcing his gaze away. Suddenly, he smiled, opening his palm to reveal a beautiful glass bead spinning rapidly in his impossibly pretty hand. "How about we trade?"
