Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's Approval

City Lord's Mansion.

Compared to Nuoding City, the City Lord's Mansion in Fasnuo City was much more magnificent.

The hall floor was paved with smooth marble, and the pillars on both sides were exquisitely carved. Outside the window was a meticulously maintained garden, with a fountain refracting rainbow-like halos in the sunlight.

Xue Qinghe sat in the main seat, Yu Cheng sat to his right, and several officials stood respectfully by.

"These are the city officials the empire has prepared for you. They will handle the inauguration ceremony, territory inspection, tax audit... and other procedures."

Xue Qinghe pointed to the people and introduced them.

"As for the city defense forces, the empire will not interfere. You will need to prepare them yourself."

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness." Yu Cheng nodded.

At the same time, a realization dawned on him.

The management model of the Heaven Dou Empire was somewhat similar to the Zhou Tianzi and vassal states of his previous life.

The royal family sent some civil officials who were only responsible for collecting taxes. They didn't care about anything else, allowing the nobles to develop on their own.

It was no wonder so many duchies and kingdoms didn't obey orders appeared.

Xue Qinghe picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip. "I have other matters to attend to and need to return to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible, so I won't be going to Nuoding City."

"Oh? That's truly a pity."

Yu Cheng shook his head.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, put a lot of pressure on him.

Yu Cheng found the attendant beside the fake crown prince somewhat familiar. After a conversation, he learned the other party's name, Long She.

This was a pseudonym, but after a moment's thought, Yu Cheng realized it was Snake Lance Douluo from the original plot.

If this Title Douluo followed him back to Nuoding City, would he discover Xiao Wu's identity?

If Tang Hao appeared, and two Title Douluo fought in Nuoding City...

He, the new City Lord, would probably be crushed to death.

Xue Qinghe put down his teacup and suddenly smiled, "I'm a few years older than you. In private, why don't we call each other brothers? Always addressing each other as Your Highness or Viscount feels too distant."

Yu Cheng was stunned. "This... I dare not."

"What do I not dare? Do you look down on me, the Crown Prince?" Xue Qinghe said with a half-joking smile.

"Although I am the Crown Prince, I am also a Soul Master. Your theories have benefited me greatly. How about I call you Master Yu?"

Yu Cheng inwardly forced a smile.

If he didn't know Xue Qinghe's true identity, it would be fine.

But he knew Xue Qinghe was a woman, and calling him brother felt strange somewhere.

"Then... Brother Qinghe."

Yu Cheng spoke.

"Brother Yu Cheng."

Xue Qinghe smiled brightly, as if genuinely happy.

He stood up and patted Yu Cheng's shoulder, "After the matters in Nuoding City are concluded, come to the Royal Academy to report as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you in Heaven Dou City."

"Alright, I wish Brother Qinghe a safe journey."

Yu Cheng cupped his hands and said.

Night.

Yu Cheng lay on the spacious soft couch, gazing at the exquisite crystal chandelier on the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

"I still underestimated the influence of Whale Rubber."

"I thought I'd at most get some rewards, or be recruited by a major power, but I didn't expect to be directly granted a noble title and land, ascending to the heavens in one step."

Yu Cheng grumbled a few words.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you want to laugh, just laugh, Viscount of Nuoding."

In his mind, a familiar voice sounded.

Yu Cheng's lips curved upwards unconsciously, "Why do I feel like your tone is a little sour?"

"Sour?"

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng snorted.

"I would envy you?"

"At your age, I was already slaughtering my way through Slaughter City. Ordinary people would detour when they saw me."

"A mere Viscount, a fief the size of a palm..."

He paused, his tone even more dismissive: "I'm not envious at all."

"Alright, alright, yours is mine, and mine is still mine."

Yu Cheng reined in his smile, his tone sincere.

"Old friend, without your sacrifice of two levels of Soul Power, without you teaching me how to cultivate, I might still be plotting how to steal Soul Bones right now. Or I might have already fallen off a waterfall and died."

"This title, half of it is yours."

The sea of consciousness was quiet for a moment.

"You have some conscience after all."

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's voice softened.

"But honestly, your plan is good. Yu Xiaogang's theories have been shattered, he must be having a tough time right now."

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng chuckled.

Looking at Yu Cheng's experiences over the past few years, he felt more and more that he had been reckless in the past.

Perhaps it stemmed from the arrogance of a transmigrator, he used to look down on everyone.

As a result, he was schemed against before even leaving the novice village.

Regretting his past decisions!

"Yu Xiaogang has too deep a background, dealing with him directly is difficult, but one day I will send him to see you."

Yu Cheng vowed earnestly.

"That's not necessary. If a person's beliefs are shattered, living is no different from being dead."

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's tone was indifferent.

For Yu Xiaogang, theory was his life. With his theories shattered, he might already be questioning the meaning of life.

At this moment, Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng looked at the flickering candlelight in the room, a strange sense of peace welling up in his heart.

The obsession that had trapped him, the desire for revenge against Yu Xiaogang, seemed to dissipate at this moment.

"Do you mean I don't need to continue helping you fulfill your dying wish anymore?" Yu Cheng asked.

"That's right, I know you still have ways to strike at Yu Xiaogang, but my time is running out. And there's not much more I can teach you."

"You've already learned the Blood Sacrifice Array. As for combat experience, you'll need to explore that yourself."

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng sighed softly.

"Are you about to disappear?"

Yu Cheng said regretfully, "I'm actually a little reluctant to let you go."

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng smiled faintly. He could feel the sincerity in Yu Cheng's heart.

As expected of my past self.

Still harboring kindness.

He had been in Slaughter City for a long time, and no one had truly cared about him.

Yu Cheng continued to ask, "What exactly is the relic you left me? An urn?"

"To be honest, I don't know," Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng spread his hands.

"I did have some good treasures in my life, even soul bones. But logically, Tang San took them all."

The Evil Soul Master said uncertainly, "I guess after opening the urn, you can fuse with my remnant soul, and at least your mental strength will surge by a large margin."

"As for other attributes, like vitality and Soul Power, that's not certain."

Yu Cheng said, "Is it like this for all urns?"

According to Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng, he could continuously open boxes and stack attributes.

As long as there were enough urns, he could still achieve greatness.

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng gave a wry smile, "When I died, I didn't even have anyone to collect my body. How could I have specifically prepared a relic for you?"

Yu Cheng nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll open the urn when I get back to Nuoding City. I'll also let you experience what it's like to be a city lord."

Yu Cheng expressed that good brothers share blessings and hardships.

"Tch! Who cares!"

Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's lips curled up.
