Snow Empress When he said this, he also put down the tea cup in his hand, and even lightly traced the rim of the cup with his white and slender fingertips.
His demeanor and eyes showed a bit of coquettishness.
This made Lu Ren subconsciously lean back.
Is it his imagination?
Snow Empress looked at him, as if there was something more in his eyes than usual.
That feeling is hard to describe.
On weekdays, Snow Empress always looks cold and indifferent to himself, and looks at everything with a detached attitude that "has nothing to do with me."
But the way she was staring at him now made Lu Ren feel an inexplicable chill down his back.
There seemed to be some unnoticeable heat hidden in those eyes, as if a warm current suddenly surged out of the cold glacier.
Although it still looks cool on the surface, the temperature underneath is no longer the same.
Not only that, there was a look in his eyes that made Lu Ren extremely uncomfortable, as if he was a plate of snacks on the table, and Snow Empress was seriously considering which angle would be more appropriate for him to bite.
After discovering this, Lu Ren's mouth twitched.
Am I being treated as prey?
Offensive and defensive type?
Even Snow Empress you----
Lu Ren dare not think further.
He instinctively felt that if he continued to follow Snow Empress's words, the next development would probably be out of his control.
"No, no, no." Lu Ren shook his head repeatedly, "We are here to solve the problem quickly, there is no need to wait any longer."
"I'm in very good health and don't need any rest."
"Really, I'm not tired at all."
"Really?" Snow Empress looked a little regretful, "What a pity."
"What's a pity?" Ice Empress looked confused and didn't understand what she wanted to do at all. "Didn't we already rest for five days before we came here? Why do we need to rest here?"
Snow Empress heard this and seemed to have been poked into his heart. He looked a little angry and said, "Shut up!"
Ice Empress pouted a little aggrievedly and said nothing more. After all, Snow Empress was the majestic image of her sister in her heart.
Lu Ren also brought a cup of hot tea and warmed it in his hands. His expression relaxed a bit in the heat.
Then he changed the topic appropriately. "After understanding the situation in this city, I am still very satisfied."
"Ju Zi really did not go against the rules. She carefully implemented all the rules I mentioned."
"Military discipline is strict, businessmen subsidize civilians, and no massacres or plunders are made. The lives of civilians are actually better than before."
"She is a useful person. Let her direct the subsequent unification war. I shouldn't need to worry too much about it, so I won't have to do anything else."
Ice Empress asked curiously, "What do you want to do? You asked Ju Zi to do this and that, not just to help her get revenge, right?"
Lu Ren took a sip of tea and then said, "Of course it is to overthrow the aristocratic system."
"I don't know why, but I just don't like those nobles."
"Let's not talk about this country first. Let's talk about the Sun Moon Empire. The reason why Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun Moon Empire is so rampant is entirely because of collusion with the Imperial Family and the protection of Evil Soul Master by the nobles."
"There are also Shrek, headed by nobles, who are actually shielding them in the name of ten thousand years of glory. I have never seen them kill any Evil Soul Master. At most, they kill some soldiers and generals, just bragging about protecting the name of the Douluo Continent."
"Based on the current situation in various countries in mainland China, whether it is Sun Moon Empire, Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms, Tianhun, Dou Ling Empire,
Star Luo Empire, they are actually the aristocracy."
"The aristocracy controls almost all the resources of the country."
"The largest nobility is the Imperial Family of each country. The Imperial Family is the spire of the aristocracy. This is the foundation of the imperial system."
"No matter how hard the people at the bottom try, they cannot cross the identity barrier between Soul Master and the common people."
"Even if you are Soul Master, you have to look at your family background. Soul Master, a commoner with a bad background, is not even qualified to enter a better college. Even if he is lucky enough to get in, he will be squeezed out by the superior little nobles."
"And what I want to do is to smash this aristocratic class without hesitation."
"Why did the merchants of Ju Zi bring Soul Tool into the occupied city and give it to civilians for free?"
"It's Soul Tool as a gift again. Why don't you make money in their country instead of coming here to do charity?"
"Soul Tool can change the living habits of the lower class of society. When civilians find out that there are Soul Tool heaters at home to survive the winter, and after the Soul Master sect's cultivation resources are mass-produced by Soul Tool, the scarcity of Soul Master will be shaken, and the identity aura of the nobles will collapse on its own."
"When the people of the Douluo Continent get used to using Soul Tool to live their lives and use technology instead of Soul Master to solve problems, they will never go back to the era when the nobles controlled everything."
"At that time, who would want to go back to an era where even heating depends on the nobles' expressions?"
"And I am the one who doesn't need Imperial Throne or a title. I'm not an emperor, and I don't want to be. Because I just need to watch over everyone's heads and make sure no one rolls back the process."
"If the emperor wants to restore the nobility, then change the emperor."
"If the sect wants to use Soul Master's privileges to oppress the people, then destroy the sect."
"I will run over anyone who wants to drive in reverse."
"This is my final role on this continent. Before I Ascension to the Divine Realm, I should be able to delay the elimination of the emperor system in every country."
This is also the era of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later. There is no emperor, only the Federation.
Even Sun Moon Empire was renamed Douluo Federation, unifying the entire Douluo Continent.
Only Star Luo Empire left Douluo Continent and found other continents, and even continued the emperor's system on that continent.
Originally, Sun Moon Empire was a system that relied on technological development to crush all the countries of the original Douluo Continent. Then Tang San just stepped in and forced Sun Moon Empire to fail Unification of the Continent. It took a long time to complete the unification.
What's even more ridiculous is that this era is not as good as ten thousand years ago when Spirit Hall still existed.
At least Spirit Hall is still willing to travel throughout the Douluo Continent to help people awaken Martial Soul for free.
And what about this era?
When Huo Yuhao went to the Star Luo Empire to join the army, those ordinary soldiers didn't even know what Martial Soul was.
For systems like Martial Soul Power, it has gone backwards.
"I understand--after all, you are the first to drive the rapid development of human civilization." Ice Empress said thoughtfully.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a smooth thing anyway, feel free to tweak it a little bit Faith Power." Lu Ren said with a smile, "To put it nicely, I'm doing it for everyone, but to put it harshly, it's actually for myself."
"If you don't do this, you won't be able to get Faith Power."
"If it weren't for Faith Power, would you still do this?" Snow Empress asked subconsciously.
Lu Ren thought about this question for a moment, and then said, "If it is not good for me to do this - even if I have the ability to do it, or even if it is easy, I might do it at the beginning."
"But I choose to do this purely out of passion."
"But it's hard to maintain this enthusiasm. If there is no feedback, it will be extinguished very quickly. Then I will lose interest and even be scolded by others. So what am I doing? Looking for scolding?"
Lu Ren laughed.
"So, I don't think I have much righteousness or anything. If I do something that has no benefit or profit, the dog will shake its head when it comes. Who is willing to do this? He has to be a saint."
"I don't think I'm a saint."
"But you still let Spirit Pagoda choose to follow Spirit Hall's system, let Spirit Pagoda's people spread throughout the Douluo Continent, and help everyone awaken Martial Soul----" Snow Empress couldn't help but say.
In these five days, Lu Ren was not completely rested, but he arranged for Spirit Pagoda to do a lot of things.
"But this is also good for Spirit Pagoda. If a genius is awakened, wouldn't it be great if Martial Soul is a good person, and he can be directly absorbed into Spirit Pagoda?" Lu Ren chuckled.
"Spirit Pagoda doesn't need to be powerful. It only needs to help Soul Master complete the Soul Spirit ceremony, create a powerful Soul Spirit, and help everyone awaken Martial Soul. That's enough."
"Even the Artificial Soul Spirit project in the future will be completed as soon as possible. By then Soul Master will no longer need to rely on Soul Beast."
"The creativity of you humans is really powerful." Snow Empress sighed, "No wonder you humans can turn over and become the overlord of the Douluo Continent in such a short period of time."
"Think about it. At the beginning, you humans were just food for us Soul Beast. But after such a long time, you humans used your creativity to build cities one after another to resist Soul Beast - but we Soul Beast remain unchanged."
Lu Ren drank the tea in one breath. "Huh, happy, you have rested enough. Next, I will take you to find Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave."
"What??!"
Ice Empress jumped up from the bench.
Her movement was so violent that she knocked over the tea cup in front of her, and the tea spilled over half of the table, dripping down the edge of the table.
But she couldn't care less.
Those beautiful eyes were widened and her mouth opened into a round shape.
"Say it again? Take us to Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave??!"
Snow Empress was also dumbfounded. For the first time, her cold and indifferent face showed a visible gaffe, but she still forced herself to calm down and didn't make any big moves.
The number of things that can make a being like Snow Empress, who is intangible with emotion and anger, so excited that he loses control of his power can probably be counted on one hand in the Douluo Continent.
The noise caused by the two men getting mad at the same time was quite loud. The few customers at the tea stall all turned their heads to look this way. Some people even forgot to swallow the tea in their mouths, and it dripped down the corners of their mouths.
The tea stall owner was carrying a freshly boiled copper kettle and was about to add water to the table next to him. He was frightened by the two screams and his hands trembled. The hot water spilled from the spout of the pot and burned his own hands. He grimaced in pain but did not dare to make a sound.
Which girl can attract the attention of the whole street with one voice?
I'm afraid I haven't practiced this voice before.
Lu Ren had an expression of "I knew it" and quickly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A circle of transparent Spiritual Power Barrier shot out from his fingertips, covering the entire space around the three of them.
The moment the barrier falls, all outside sounds are blocked, and the sounds inside the barrier can't be transmitted either.
Looking over from the outside, you can only see three people sitting around the tea table, and the white-haired boy is rubbing his temples helplessly.
Can't hear what they are saying at all.
Lu Ren couldn't help but said, "Keep your voice down, you two are also one of Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North after all, can you look like some masters?"
"You just babbled like this on the street when you heard something. If you spread the word, are you afraid of being laughed at by Evil Emperor's big eyes?"
"----I can hear it." Evil Emperor couldn't help but make a sound bubbling in Sea of Consciousness.
"Very good, you have been banned." Lu Ren directly blocked Evil Emperor's perception of the outside world.
Evil Emperor:"?"
What a disaster!
But Ice Empress completely ignored his complaints. She grabbed Lu Ren's sleeve and pulled hard twice. "Really?! How can there be Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave in such a ghost place?"
"Although this place is quite cold, and it often snows in winter, it can't even grow a small ice eye here. How can it be possible to have a ten-thousand-year-level mysterious ice cave?"
"I lied to you, I'm a dog." Lu Ren said with a serious expression.
Ice Empress:"----"
She opened her mouth and closed it again.
The excitement that was about to explode was blocked by Lu Ren's extremely childish words, choking in her throat.
"Okay, I'm not that naive." Ice Empress Seeing that Lu Ren even said such words, he felt embarrassed to question it again.
She let go of the hand holding Lu Ren's sleeve, grabbed his wrist, and shook it hard.
"Then what are you waiting for? Take us there now!"
"Okay, okay, let's leave now."
Lu Ren stood up from the stool and took out ten Gold Soul Coin from Storage Soul Tool and slapped them on the table as tea money.
The tea stall owner was holding the back of his hand that was burned red, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the three people getting up and leaving.
Before his mind could react, his body had already moved. He took two steps forward and opened his mouth to shout, "Sir, you haven't paid for your tea yet----"
As soon as the words reached his throat, his eyes fell squarely on the table.
Several shiny Gold Soul Coin rested quietly on the rough wooden table.
The boss's voice stopped immediately.
"This, this is----"
He walked to the table in three steps, rubbed his hands on his apron carelessly, carefully picked up a Gold Soul Coin and weighed it in his palm.
A total of ten Gold Soul Coin.
"Hey, sir! That's too much! I can't use so much!" The boss finally reacted, raised his head suddenly and tried to call someone, but his voice broke with excitement, "This tea money is just such a small amount, it's not worth ten Gold Soul Coin----"
Halfway through his words, his eyes were empty.
Just now The white-haired boy and the two stunning girls who were still sitting at the table seemed to have been blown away by the wind, and there was no trace of them.
This made the boss freeze on the spot with Gold Soul Coin in his hands, looking left and right, but he couldn't find any figure.
"It's strange——why are you walking so fast?" He scratched the back of his head, his face full of disbelief.
He lowered his head and looked at the Gold Soul Coin in his hand, and muttered in his mouth, "Good guy, this is Gold Soul Coin. You spend it so casually, you are really not an ordinary person."
The boss's face was filled with surprise and joy, and the corner of his mouth almost reached his ears.
At this time, the three figures of Lu Ren had appeared in a completely different place.
Earth Dragon Sect, Backyard.
Lu Ren frowned the first second he landed.
In front of you is a large garden covering an extremely large area. Judging from the scale, this should have been a very elegant garden.
But now, all that's left is dilapidated remains.
Lu Ren's eyes swept over these ruins one by one.
It can be seen that the Sun Moon Empire military conducted a quite thorough search here.
"Where are the Earth Dragon Sect people?"
Lu Ren spread out and Spiritual Power swept around the entire Earth Dragon Sect territory.
There was no place he could explore, but the results surprised him.
No one is there.
The entire Earth Dragon Sect territory was lifeless, like a body with its internal organs hollowed out.
"It seems that they were evacuated before the military came to search." Lu Ren took back Spiritual Power and sighed softly, "That's right. If the news had been obtained in advance, the Thirty-six Strategy would be the best strategy. I would do the same thing in my place. It's a pity----"
He paused, with a hint of real regret in his tone. "What a pity, I still wanted to give them some compensation."
This time he came to the Earth Dragon Sect. From the beginning, he did not come with the intention of fighting against the autumn wind or taking advantage of others by force.
Although with his current strength, let alone one Earth Dragon Sect, even if he tied all the Dragon City sects together, it would not be enough for him to fight with one hand, he really never thought about bullying others.
His plan is very simple, exchange resources with the Earth Dragon Sect, give one or two pieces of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and other resources, and secure Earth Dragon Sect's secret place.
Even if Earth Dragon Sect wants to offer other conditions, Lu Ren will accept them as long as they are not too excessive.
For him, these are not difficult tasks, they are just a piece of cake.
But the problem is, you need someone to be there.
The building was empty, and for all his sincerity and resources, he couldn't even find a single recipient.
"It can only be said that it's a pity." Lu Ren shook his head, lightly swiping his finger in the air in front of him, and a Space Rifts cracked silently.
He reached in and pulled out a fist-sized ball of gray mist.
It was a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, which looked like a ball of mud with eyes, and exuded a cold aura.
As soon as Cursed Spirit was released, it immediately floated obediently in front of Lu Ren, with its one eye blinking as if waiting to obey orders.
"Stay here." Lu Ren ordered it, "You only need to do one thing, monitor this area. If Earth Dragon Sect's people come back, notify me immediately."
Cursed Spirit let out a low whimper and accepted the order.
Then its body shrank, turning into a thin wisp of gray smoke that was almost invisible, and got into a crack in the stone. Its breath completely converged. If it weren't for the connection between Lu Ren and it, even he would hardly be able to sense its existence.
"I will come back when I receive the news." Lu Ren looked at this and said, "When the time comes, the compensation and trading chips that should be given will not be less."
"After all, my original purpose was not to be a bandit."
He said this frankly.
Came here to do business.
Leave with the sincerity of the transaction intact.
As a human being, you must have a bottom line.
Although he Lu Ren is not a saint, he is not the kind of robber who will light up when he sees something good and grab it without saying a word.
The principles he believed in were always simple.
Talk well if you can talk, and give generously what should be given.
Others respect him a foot, and he respects others a foot.
If others want to play tricks with him, then he will pay them back tenfold.
