Chapter 740 - 332: Disregard (Happy May Day Holiday!)

Chapter 740: Chapter 332: Disregard (Happy May Day Holiday!)

There were many onlookers too. Considering the scale of the Royal Family and the Church Court, it seems he truly died. The reporters were all pondering how to write earth-shattering reports.

A vague answer lingered in Dragon’s mind, but he couldn’t say anything and dared not believe it. The Night Patrol who accompanied him were all extremely excited; it’d be great if Ji Sheng truly died. With so many outsiders present, everyone kept their mouths firmly shut, portraying a very serious demeanor, which was truly challenging for the Night Patrol, not skilled in acting.

The personnel from the Law Enforcement Court arrived, and the Night Patrol was sent to the outer area to maintain public order, and Li Xin’s carriage also arrived.

Seeing Li Xin arrive and alight from the carriage, the Night Patrol responsible for maintaining order stood straight, saluting, "Chief!"

Li Xin returned the salute, "Dragon, how are things going?"

"Her Highness, the Princess, is inside, waiting for the Church Court people, not letting us in," Dragon replied, glancing at Hong Ye, who nodded slightly.

This subtle gesture naturally couldn’t escape veteran Night Patrolmen like Meng Po and Lu Shuimo, whose instincts along the way suggested this matter was related to the Chief. Given the Chief’s strength, how did he suddenly suffer such severe injuries? Clearly, something happened in between that eluded their insight, yet the assassination of Ji Sheng was still hard to believe until the exchange between Dragon and Hong Ye.

Hong Ye, being a healer, must know who caused the Chief’s injuries while treating them.

Perhaps the Chief utilized the power of the Secret Castle.

"Dragon, who made the move? Is Ji Sheng truly dead?" Meng Po asked.

They were all insiders, naturally wanting to know whether the Puppet Angel was truly dead.

"From the current situation, it should be. Ji Sheng met with Hedan’s people at Red Maple Tower, presumably in person, and then got eliminated," Dragon said. "This smuggling line was their lifeblood."

"Could a World Angel have appeared?"

Dragon shook his head, "Not a World Angel. The power is extremely special, but its sealing effect might be more formidable than a World Angel. We discovered 35 not-weak puppets on the perimeter; the two strongest were Five Lives Bent Angels, likely guarding the perimeter, but they didn’t manage to arrive in time. The person who assassinated Ji Sheng killed him in a very short time, terrifyingly so."

Both Meng Po and Lu Shuimo were astonished that such power was slain so easily; the Chief was imposing.

Big names from the Church Court arrived: the Red-robed Archbishop, Metropolitan, several deans, and people made way for them as they headed straight into Golden Maple Tower.

They didn’t have to wait long before someone from the Royal Family came out to notify the Night Patrol to disperse the crowd, clearly, the Royal Family didn’t want more spectators. The investigation was jointly handled by the Royal Family and the Church Court.

"Let’s go," Li Xin squeezed out two words, leading the Night Patrol away. To outsiders, it might seem like dissatisfaction from this young and vigorous Night Patrol Chief.

Seeing Li Xin give no other orders, Dragon and Hong Ye went their separate ways, while Lu Shuimo drove the carriage back to Shadow Owl.

At this time, the Chief needed to stand by at Shadow Owl. Although the Royal Family’s case doesn’t require Night Patrol’s involvement, the assassination of Chen Rutang’s case requires Night Patrol’s full effort.

Night at Shadow Owl.

Ma Liu arrived with food, and returning to Shadow Owl, Li Xin was nearly exhausted, relying on sheer will outside.

Ma Liu brought a bowl of soup, and upon smelling it, Li Xin felt a jolt of energy, as if regaining some strength.

Ma Liu picked up the spoon to feed Li Xin the soup. The soup was strange, appearing as liquid yet vaguely shifting between liquid, solid, and gas. But with every sip, Li Xin’s physique seemed to recover.

After finishing the soup, Li Xin felt his parched body replenished, "What kind of soup is this, so magical? What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, it’s my first attempt. As long as it’s useful, it’s good, it’s a learning experience for me," Ma Liu said, his face slightly pale. "Brother Li, you’ve suffered great losses this time. Avoid using Spiritual Ability in the coming days."

Li Xin nodded. He knew Ma Liu’s level; a Gourmet was akin to a half-secret healer, certainly aware about the body. Last time, relying on the self-healing ability of the Greedy Angel barely got through; now, without such ability, merely self-generated. Thinking back, how beneficial it would be to fully replicate the self-healing ability of the Greedy Angel; divine powers are truly distinct.

Suddenly, Li Xin thought of Miss Aries, wondering if she’s alright.

"Ma Liu, let’s go home, you help me make another one!"

Half an hour later, Li Xin brought Ma Liu’s nourishing soup to Estella’s residence, where Keli opened the door.

Keli opened the door, tearful eyes looking at Li Xin, who hurried to the bedroom, finding Estella extremely weak. To prevent accidents, she had already sent Celestia away.

Chris glared at Li Xin unkindly, apparently due to him; Estella was this weak. If it were someone else, Chris would definitely have launched a golden attack to sweep them away.

Li Xin hurried to the bedside, gently helping Estella up, "Chris, Keli, this is a restorative soup for Her Highness, without any harm."

Li Xin raised the food container, indicating these seemingly innocuous little creatures were indeed formidable, not to be overlooked.

Sensing goodwill, Keli swiftly came over, nuzzling against Li Xin, meowing softly and urgently. More benevolent than Chris, Chris glanced over the container, nodding arrogantly.

Seeing both cat and bird agree, Li Xin slowly helped Estella up to start feeding her the soup. Estella leaned limply against Li Xin, furrowing her brows, reluctant to drink, "Miss Aries, have a little, you’ll feel better soon."

In her daze, hearing Li Xin’s voice, Estella nodded, sipping the soup bit by bit, one feeds, one drinks. Gradually, Estella recovered too, her vision slowly clearing, looking at Li Xin feeding her the soup. Her body suddenly tensed, her face flushed with a maiden’s redness.

The ailing maiden, stunningly beautiful.

The skill of the Gourmet Association elder could be trusted, and primarily it was Estella who hadn’t exhausted herself with the Magic Ring as severely as Li Xin. Gradually, a warm complexion appeared on her pale face, easing the concern of Chris and Keli beside her. Keli even jumped onto the bed to nuzzle Li Xin in thanks before snuggling into Estella’s arms.

Estella smiled lightly, petting Keli to indicate she was okay, "Did we succeed?"

"Mission accomplished, Miss Aries!"

"Really, really, that’s wonderful! Mr. Gemini, we!"

Estella’s face beamed with a brilliant smile, this being her first involvement in such a dangerous plan, successfully destroying a singer of the Song of Hell.

Seeing Estella so joyful, Chris’s grievances also dissipated.

Li Xin looked at the happy Estella, temporarily withholding the news that although Ji Sheng was dead, the Slave Master was still alive.

Inside Golden Maple Tower.

Ji Mingyue’s face was like eternal ice; a group representing the most powerful forces of the Li Long Kingdom had found nothing after all their fuss. It was downright laughable.

They continued to ignore the Royal Family, kept ignoring her!
