Chapter 1130: Chapter 1127: Husband, Please Love Me Passionately

On the other side.

The second son of the Zhao family, Zhao Bin, arrived at a remote location outside the city with all the members of the Zhao family.

Seeing his father waiting there, Zhao Bin asked in confusion, ”Father, why did you summon me here with all the family members?”

Zhao Bin couldn’t understand what his father had planned, as bringing the entire family to such a place at night was strange in itself.

Furthermore, he brought all the valuables of the Zhao family along the way.

This gave him a feeling of being exiled.

It made him feel that it wasn’t right!

Earlier, his father had attended the Monarch’s birthday banquet in the Imperial City.

Logically, he shouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament no matter what.

Zhao Changtian sighed helplessly and recounted the events.

Upon learning that the Lu family’s Honored Contributor not only survived but also crafted a Superior Purity Mirror-Breaking Pill, Zhao Bin was overcome by a great shock, clearly not expecting such an outcome.

Of course, that wasn’t the most important thing.

The important thing was...

Father had angered the Monarch at the birthday banquet and was expelled from the Imperial City, which was something the Zhao family couldn’t bear.

”We can’t stay in Heishui City any longer. The most urgent thing is to leave Heishui City; only then does the Zhao family have a sliver of hope,” Zhao Changtian said. ”I plan to go to Carefree City!”

Upon hearing the words ”Carefree City,” all the members of the Zhao family shuddered.

Although the name Carefree City sounds relaxed and free,

in reality, it is dark and brutal.

There are no laws there, only filled with darkness and slaughter.

Therefore, Carefree City is also known as the City of Crime.

Although Carefree City is under the territory of Blackwater Kingdom, because it borders Beiming Country and Langya Country,

the place is especially chaotic, and even Blackwater Kingdom finds it difficult to manage its affairs.

”Grandfather, do we really have to go there?” a young child asked with fear in his eyes.

Zhao Changtian sighed softly, ”Besides Carefree City, where else can we go?”

When Xu Wendong returned to the Lu family, he received an enthusiastic reception, as they had already heard about the events in the Imperial City.

They also knew that Xu Wendong was Lu Nanyan’s husband.

Although the two weren’t officially married,

they already had the reality of a matrimonial relationship.

This was undoubtedly great news for the Lu family, especially since Xu Wendong obtained a token personally granted by the Monarch.

After some brief pleasantries, Xu Wendong followed Lu Nanyan back to her room.

As soon as he entered, Lu Nanyan threw herself into Xu Wendong’s arms, offering her passion.

”Husband, please love me intensely.”

Lu Nanyan quite enjoyed being alone with Xu Wendong, although it was tough on her body.

But only she could appreciate the joy within it.

Faced with Lu Nanyan’s suggestion, Xu Wendong naturally wouldn’t refuse and gave all his passion and impulse to her.

After some intimacy.

It was already late at night.

Lu Nanyan had long fallen asleep.

But Xu Wendong had no intention of sleeping. At that moment, he was examining the golden token granted by the Monarch of Blackwater, which had a golden flood dragon on it.

It looked vivid, as if it were alive.

The voice of the Dragon Soul arose, ”Although the Monarch of Blackwater is a ruler of a Third-Level Cultivation Country, having his appreciation is still a gift.”

”As long as he assigns you a position, if you achieve accomplishments, you can naturally gain Virtue Power.”

”At that time, your strength will rise accordingly.”

”Otherwise, even if you cultivate to the Great Ascension Peak, even if you cultivate your Ancient Sacred Body to the level of Great Perfection, you may not necessarily defeat the Taoist Sect Master!”

Xu Wendong said nothing, but he secretly decided to first blend into the Blackwater Kingdom’s officialdom and, once he gained enough strength, search for Xu Fan and others in Shangqing Country.

The next day.

The sun was high in the sky.

”Imperial Edict arrived!”

Accompanied by a somewhat hoarse voice, the eunuch delivering the edict entered the Lu family.

The Lu family members quickly gathered together to receive the imperial edict.

The eunuch delivering the edict unfolded the imperial edict and announced Xu Wendong’s appointment as the County Magistrate of Carefree City, holding a seventh rank position.

Learning that he was about to become a local County Magistrate, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but feel excited.

Although just a seventh-rank County Magistrate, he would indeed be a parent official.

But after the eunuch left, chaos ensued in the Lu family.

Patriarch Lu kept sighing, his brows filled with worry, ”What should we do!”

Lu Nanyan turned pale, ”One cannot disobey the royal decree. Even if we don’t want Wendong to go to Carefree City to take on the post, we cannot defy the royal command!”

Xu Wendong frowned and couldn’t help but ask, ”Is Carefree City really a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair? Why do you all dread it so much?”

Patriarch Lu explained, ”Our Blackwater Kingdom has been established for over twelve thousand years. During this long time, our national conditions have always been good.”

”Common people have sufficient food and clothing and live in peace. Logically, our Blackwater Kingdom could become a Second-Level Cultivation Nation.”

”But because of Carefree City’s existence, our Blackwater Kingdom has stagnated.”

”Carefree City borders Beiming Country and Langya Pavilion, and its terrain is complex, so over the years, many criminals wanted by the government and bandits live there.”

”The situation in Carefree City is complex. Although it’s part of our Blackwater Kingdom, for many years, the powers in the court haven’t fully penetrated it.”

”Of course, that’s not critical.”

”The critical thing is...”

”Sixty-four consecutive County Magistrates have inexplicably died in Carefree City.”

”Without exception, each County Magistrate dies mysteriously within three months of assuming office in Carefree City.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong’s expression couldn’t help but change; he hadn’t expected the situation in Carefree City to be so complicated.

”Husband, you have won the Monarch’s favor. Why don’t you go to the Imperial City and ask the Monarch to revoke the previous appointment?” Lu Nanyan nervously looked at Xu Wendong.

She didn’t want Xu Wendong to take office in Carefree City.

Xu Wendong shook his head, ”Even if I went to the Imperial City, the Monarch wouldn’t revoke the previous appointment.”

Lu Nanyan exclaimed anxiously, ”Then why don’t you flee!”

Xu Wendong chuckled helplessly, ”Even if I left Blackwater Kingdom, what about the Lu family?”

”I’m currently the Lu family’s son-in-law!”

Lu Nanyan fell silent; she regretted making the public statement that Xu Wendong was her husband the previous day.

If Xu Wendong were merely a Guest Elder of the Lu Family, even if he fled, it wouldn’t implicate the Lu family.

But now.

Xu Wendong and the Lu family were inextricably linked in glory or downfall.

If Xu Wendong chose to defy the imperial order and flee, it would spell disaster for the Lu family.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Xu Wendong’s voice broke the silence, ”Isn’t it just taking on the post of County Magistrate in Carefree City, what’s the big deal?”

”I’ve traveled the length and breadth of the land for years; what major storms haven’t I seen?”

”What can a mere Carefree City do to me?”
