You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Late at night.

Minister's Mansion.

The light in Luo Yan's study is still on. At this moment, he is sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the booklets. These booklets are the order statistics from Shang Mo Bookstore submitted by his intelligence network.

Of course, they are not the original orders.

Even with his abilities, it is impossible for him to get hold of the original orders. However, he has numerous capable subordinates who can estimate the order quantity from various aspects, and the margin of error will not exceed twenty percent.

His flipping speed becomes faster and faster, and his eyes become more and more shocked. "A mere Shang Mo Bookstore can actually take down so many orders?"

Eight hundred thousand taels of orders per year, and it can be stable for ten years.

Not to mention how much of the eight hundred thousand taels can be converted into profit, just the association of this number with the bookstore industry is somewhat terrifying, right?

This time, Ying Wuji directly crippled all the bookstores in Kingdom Li, and they won't be able to recover within ten years.

Of course, with the current prices, eight hundred thousand taels per year is still a bit small for a country. It is enough for emergency relief, but it is truly a dream to change the financial situation of Kingdom Qian. However, it is still within an acceptable range.

Luo Yan looks at Luo Ming and says, "The bookstore will definitely return under the control of the Kingdom Qian Embassy. Tomorrow, you should bring a few servants who are proficient in calculations to communicate with the government office. We may not be able to stop this matter, but we can weaken the interests of Kingdom Qian. Do you understand?"

Luo Ming grins, "Father! This matter may not be so urgent!"

Luo Yan raises his eyebrows, "Why?"

Luo Ming respectfully says, "In the evening, Gongsun Di and the embassy personnel took all the people from Kingdom Qian in Shang Mo Bookstore away. Ying Wuji also went back and stayed at the embassy for half an hour before going to the bookstore with whip marks all over his body!"

"Whip marks?"

Luo Yan squints his eyes and guesses what it means, "That's right, as long as he doesn't agree, the bookstore will not return to Kingdom Qian. Ying Wuji is indeed a tough nut to crack! But... is your sister still staying at the bookstore?"

Luo Ming nods, "Yes... my sister went to pick him up."

A trace of anger appears on Luo Yan's face, "How foolish! The bookstore can make a lot of money, but can't she see Ying Wuji's situation this time?"

He is anxious but helpless.

With his power, it is easy to bring his daughter back, but the high probability is that he will bring back a corpse.

If someone else had deceived Hua Chao, he could easily kill that person and let Hua Chao calm down. But unfortunately, that person is Ying Wuji.

So he doesn't know what to do.

At this moment, someone pushes open the door and softly calls out, "Yan Ge..."

The person who enters is none other than Hua Wanqiu. Her face is pale with a sickly appearance, looking delicate and pitiful.

Luo Yan quickly gets up to receive her, with a look of concern, "Wanqiu! You're so seriously ill, you shouldn't be walking around!"

"But, I miss you..."

Hua Wanqiu pouts and leans into Luo Yan's embrace, ignoring his white hair and wrinkles. The two of them truly look like a couple in love.

Luo Yan lets out a sigh, "But your health..."

"It's always been like this, I'm used to it!"

Hua Wanqiu tilts her head up, her eyes full of attachment, "I just don't know how long I can accompany you..."

On the side.

Luo Ming feels nauseous for some reason. He doesn't know why there is such an exquisite actress in this world.

Luo Yan turns around, "Sanlang, go to Shang Mo Bookstore!"

"Ah? What for?"

"Tell your sister that I will get married after the literary meeting, and she must come."

"What...?"

Luo Ming is stunned, "Father! Are you going to take a concubine?"

"No!"

Luo Yan shakes his head and says seriously, "I'm going to marry!"

Luo Ming: "..."

He looks at the old man holding the happy-looking woman in his arms and three winning numbers slowly appear in his mind.

...

Shang Mo Bookstore.

"Ouch!"

"Hua Chao Jie, be gentle!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Ying Wuji lies on the bed, gritting his teeth in pain.

The pain is one aspect, but the key is that he is not lying in Hua Chao's arms. Gongsun Di, that bastard, whipped him on the back, forcing him to lie on the bed, which is infuriating.

Hua Chao's eyes turn red with distress. Her tender fingers carefully apply ointment, afraid to cause Ying Wuji any more pain.

After applying the medicine, she uses the excuse of washing clothes to wipe away her tears and leaves.

Ying Wuji turns his head and looks at Bai Zhi, smiling and asking, "Why haven't you said a word since we left the embassy?"

Bai Zhi wears a bitter expression, "I didn't protect Young Master!"

"You couldn't have protected in this situation!"

Ying Wuji smiles and then reaches out his hand, only to find that he can't reach Bai Zhi's head.

The little girl sees his hand hanging in the air, hesitates for a moment, and then blushes as she leans her head closer, "But I really don't want Young Master to suffer. Young Master is injured and won't let me apply the medicine. I..."

"Who asked you to apply the medicine so painfully?"

Ying Wuji messes up her gentle hair and feels a twisted sense of pleasure. But when he sees her nose twitching, about to cry, he quickly says, "You're just too young. Although it seems like we've suffered a loss this time, we actually won! Don't dwell on it. Go practice with the new Qian Jade, and in a few days, I'll get you some good things to practice with. In the future, protect me as a complete First Grade Spiritual Embryo. Understand?"

"I understand!"

The little girl clenches her small fists and excitedly leaves the room, "Young Master! I'm going to seclude myself and break through!"

Ying Wuji's mouth involuntarily curls up. Today, Ying Yue's performance was somewhat chilling, but fortunately, he still has someone who truly cares about him.

That's good!

And the harvest today is not small. Not only did his essence, energy, and spirit breakthrough to the eleventh level, but he also obtained a ground-level Law Prison and a profound-level Prisoner's Shackles. The direct killing power of Legalist spells may not be that strong, but their functionality is truly formidable. They will definitely be very useful in the future.

He also beat up Gongsun Di, which was quite satisfying.

This guy can be considered a genius, but he feels so powerless in front of Ying Yue. Even the feeling of being a genius is not convincing.

However, it's a pity that Ying Yue's cultivation is truly good. Even after scolding him so much, he didn't even activate a single skill.

Even his angry words and actions were probably just an act.

It seems that none of these high-ranking people are simple, especially those who have broken through the Godly Realm. With their cultivation and mindset, it is difficult for them to activate skills unless they truly bring out something that will shock them for a hundred years. As for divine abilities, it's even harder to imagine.

The only bad news...

The attribute points that broke through the twelfth level have increased by a full five thousand points, ten times more than the breakthrough from the eleventh level!

If breaking through to the thirteenth level requires fifty thousand points, how long will it take to accumulate that?

This damn puberty of his will probably be extended several times!

It's fine for now since Kingdom Qian's finances are tight and he can't do much. But in a few years, if they adjust, if they accidentally ruin the diplomatic relations with Kingdom Li, won't he be the first to be sacrificed?

After all, Ying Wuque has only appeared for a short time, and the internal forces of Kingdom Qian have already become fanatical towards him. What about a few more years?

Moreover, Ying Yue is not a good person. In order to maintain internal stability, he might actually sacrifice one of his sons.

How can he find a bigger backer?

The image of a friend from the Zhao family comes to his mind. He mutters to himself, "If I can marry her, even if I stay in Kingdom Li, I should be able to live a stable life for the rest of my life, right?"

"Who are you talking about?"

Hua Chao's voice suddenly sounds.

Ying Wuji looks up and their eyes meet.

Hua Chao quickly averts her gaze.

Ying Wuji: "..."
