Chapter 20 I walked down the long street~
At the San Slarda Airport in the Miri region, a private jet takes off.
Looking at the brightly lit city night view outside the window, Jiang Xuetang felt extremely happy.
I never expected that Jiang Wanzhao, who took the initiative to video chat with me this time, would prepare such a wonderful surprise for me.
"Sailing, sailing, sailing..."
Jiang Xuetang murmured softly, her voice growing increasingly cheerful, and the joy in her eyes becoming more and more undisguised.
The cool air from the air conditioner ruffled her fiery red, glistening hair, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face, like a lotus emerging from water. Her large, bright eyes were particularly dazzling, and paired with her arched eyebrows, she exuded an undeniable radiance.
"Sister Tang, what's making you so happy?"
The stylist, Mi Rui, who had come over, asked curiously. Although Sister Tang was usually outgoing and generous, it was rare to see her with such a bright smile.
He only smiles so happily in front of General Jiang.
But at this moment, Jiang Xuetang wasn't muttering the name of Chief of Staff Jiang.
Who is this? I've never heard Sister Tang mention him before.
"It's nothing." Jiang Xuetang's smile faded slightly. "Just help me dye my hair back to its original color."
Mi Rui didn't ask any more questions and came behind Jiang Xuetang to help her dye her hair.
Tang Jie is someone who loves to try new things and has tried many different hair colors. She thinks red best suits her personality.
I don't know why they dyed it back to black this time?
Is this related to someone named "Xingzhou"?
While she was pondering, Jiang Xuetang took out a scroll from her storage ring and opened it. She quickly glanced at it and saw that the scroll depicted a person in ancient costume.
Somewhat like... General Jiang?
However, it is definitely not General Jiang, because the person in the painting is clearly a man.
Mi Rui had a question: with photography being so advanced these days, why use portraits to preserve memories?
"So he really is Jiang Wanzhao's younger brother..."
Jiang Xuetang chuckled softly, realizing that her initiative to become best friends with Jiang Wanzhao had indeed yielded unexpected benefits.
but……
"Wan Zhao's feelings for her missing brother aren't exactly serious. If I'm too impulsive, I might end up doing more harm than good. I guess I'll just give her this gift instead."
Jiang Xuetang took out a piece of intelligence from her storage ring and flicked her finger: "She'll definitely be interested in information about Ares, this neurotoxin."
······
Li Xingzhou was, of course, not slapped in the buttocks by Jiang Wanzhao.
Although she had been beaten by her older sister many times for being playful and skipping school since she was a child, she had never slapped herself.
Besides, I was just making a subtle joke about her age; she's not really an old woman.
That's the good thing about cultivating immortality; age is never a problem.
Furthermore, he genuinely found it strange that Jiang Xuetang, a twenty-two-year-old girl, could become best friends with his older sister.
Putting aside age, just looking at their respective careers... it's safe to say they have absolutely no overlap.
After leisurely strolling around the vast Jiang mansion, Li Xingzhou returned to his room.
"Hey, where's my sister?"
Li Xingzhou looked at Liu Ying and asked curiously.
Liu Ying gave him a strange look: "With your abilities, do you need to ask others?"
"I'm home now, so I can relax." Li Xingzhou shrugged. "If it were before, I would have loved to have this ability so I could turn off the TV before she got home and not let her know I secretly watched it."
Now that I have consciousness, I miss the nerve-wracking battles of wits I used to experience. Humans really are strange creatures.
Liu Ying smiled and thought that Li Xingzhou was just a young man with a childlike heart, wanting to mess around with his sister.
"The Chief of Staff has gone to the ancestral hall."
"The ancestral hall?" Li Xingzhou walked outside. "Why didn't I see it earlier?"
"Just went out."
Liu Ying followed, carrying the documents: "There's one more thing. The traffic police have already taken care of it for you. It's nothing serious."
Thank you.
The backyard, the ancestral hall.
Jiang Wanzhao stepped into the brightly lit ancestral hall, glanced at the three newly inserted incense sticks in the incense burner, and knew without a doubt that Xingzhou had just offered them to his parents.
A smile played at the corners of her lips, and her gaze then settled on a small box sitting quietly on the table.
Stepping closer, he opened the box, and inside lay a jade seal!
This is the Imperial Seal of the State that she snatched from the demon after she led eight hundred soldiers into the capital palace to cause chaos!
Even though it wasn't the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Wanzhao still slowed his breathing and reached out to take out the jade seal from the box. The eight characters "By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous" came into view.
Even though she was a woman, Jiang Wanzhao couldn't resist the allure of those eight words when she saw them.
Jiang Wanzhao's gaze wavered for a moment, and her fingers involuntarily tightened slightly.
I'm walking down the long street~
"Listen to the actors sing about the capital city~"
"A clown in a chaotic crowd~"
"The leaves turn yellow, signaling the arrival of late autumn."
A melodious and clear singing voice suddenly rang out in the quiet ancestral hall, and Jiang Wanzhao's breathing became erratic.
Looking back, who else could it be but my brat?
Li Xingzhou stood at the doorway with his arms crossed. He had a smile on his face, but when he saw Jiang Wanzhao turn around, his eyes lit up.
The modern-style button-down shirt and horse-face skirt wrapped around Jiang Wanzhao's body, like a landscape scroll that had been re-framed.
As she turned, the embroidered patterns on the skirt shimmered like water. The high-waisted skirt accentuated her figure, creating a slender "I" shape, while the waist and hips were loosely flared with just the right amount of room. The side pleats gradually unfolded from the waist down, like a slowly opening folding fan, concealing the fullness of her thighs and then abruptly tapering at the calves to reveal a glimpse of her slender ankles, which appeared and disappeared as the skirt swayed.
Coupled with Jiang Wanzhao's low bun hairstyle tied with a silver hairpin and her graceful and elegant posture, she is not only elegant and charming, but also exudes a calm and noble air.
Standing there, he embodies the beauty of unspoken words!
My sister is absolutely gorgeous.
Li Xingzhou thought about it, but he didn't actually say it out loud. After all, he knew that his sister had ulterior motives towards him, especially since this was happening in the ancestral hall.
So, as he stepped across the threshold, he looked at the jade seal in Jiang Wanzhao's hand and asked, "Sister, do you want to be the emperor?"
Jiang Wanzhao casually tossed the Imperial Seal of the State over: "Do you want it or not?"
Li Xingzhou quickly reached out and caught it: "I don't want to."
"Oh?" Jiang Wanzhao asked with a half-smile. "You really don't want to?"
"Sister, is it really that serious?" Li Xingzhou stared at Jiang Wanzhao warily. "You're not even the emperor yet, and you're already testing your subordinate for disloyalty?"
Jiang Wanzhao couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that their time together this morning had completely eliminated any distance between them. How wonderful!
"Is your skin itching again?" Jiang Wanzhao rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't want to, then don't. Anyway, I'm determined to be the one."
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Li Xingzhou quickly turned to the side: "Sister, don't pull my ear! This isn't how you compete for the title of heir..."
"Tch~" Jiang Wanzhao snatched the Imperial Seal from his hand, too lazy to argue with her lively younger brother: "What is it?"
Li Xingzhou rubbed his hands together like a fly: "Sis, can you give me some money? I want to buy a new phone and go shopping while I'm at it."
Jiang Wanzhao didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at Liu Ying outside the door: "What about you? What's up?"
"Chief," Liu Ying said rapidly, "Five days ago, the Demon Suppression Division of Longcheng Prefecture discovered Ares in circulation."
The last clue disappeared inside the Half-Dream Lotus club.
Li Xingzhou noticed that his sister's face immediately darkened, exuding an imposing aura without her being angry.
Just as he was about to ask what Ares was, Jiang Wanzhao looked over and said, "Xingzhou, why don't you go and look into this matter?"
"Me?" Li Xingzhou pointed to himself.
"Hmm." Jiang Wanzhao smiled slightly: "Ares is a neurotoxin developed by magicians in the Miri Realm, specifically for use by superhumans. Although it can temporarily enhance combat power, it is highly addictive. Long-term use will not only drastically change one's personality but also make one bloodthirsty. It is a prohibited substance."
"Wow!"
