Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1333: Chapter 995: Does This Count as Employment and Work? (Part 2)

He seemed to be immersed in clouds filled with pink bubbles, where the sweet scent of love permeated everywhere.

Miss Hu Jiu is truly beautiful!

"That’s right, it’s the treasure the Sixth Elder keeps hidden." He replied dreamily while rummaging through his Storage Bag to take out a foot-long, jewel-studded purple-gold gourd, which filled the dim room with a dazzling brilliance once extracted.

Offering it with both hands like a treasure, Zhan Chenyang said pleasingly, "Look, that old thing just wanted to get the girl and was afraid to take the risk, so he temporarily lent me such a treasure.

As long as you hold the gourd and stroke it three times, calling: Treasure Gourd, Treasure Gourd, it can be activated.

Point the mouth of the gourd at the target, call out the person’s name, and once the person responds, they’ll be absorbed into the gourd. Miss, do you recall that I called your name earlier, and you followed me here! Isn’t this treasure incredible?"

The little fox’s furry big ears moved slightly, thinking that it was truly an impressive Divine Artifact.

If only I could take it back and give it to Young Master to use, that would be even better!

"I’m specifically responsible for finding beauties for that old thing everywhere." Zhan Chenyang continued, hugging the gourd, "Whether it’s Mortal women or Female Cultivators, as long as they’re exceptionally beautiful.

I can directly kidnap Mortals or low Realm Demon Cultivators and deliver them to the old thing’s bed; I can’t handle those with high Realms, so he sends the Black Riders.

In the past six months, the girls I’ve sent have numbered no less than eight hundred, all spoiled by the old thing’s Yin-harvesting and Yang-replenishing technique, and finally swallowed and refined via the Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique.

Miss Hu Jiu, so beautiful, if caught by that old thing... oh, just thinking about it makes my heart ache! That’s why I risked being tortured to death upon discovery and fled with the purple-gold gourd and the young lady to a small town a thousand miles away, saving your life, didn’t I?"

The little fox smiled brightly at him, yet her gaze was as cold as one looking at a dead person.

No less than eight hundred indeed, spoken as if it were simple; so many living lives, though not directly harmed by you, you can’t absolve yourself from their tragic deaths.

Despicable human trafficker!

"Then I should thank you, right?" Miss Hu Jiu countered, "However, I heard the Sect Leader of Leisure Sect is elusive, so that Sixth Elder wouldn’t dare go to Trapped Snake Island himself; how would he know my name, Hu Jiu? It’s not you who brought disaster upon me."

Seeing the beauty upset, Zhan Chenyang hastily explained, "Indeed, I got carried away and told that old man about your beauty, but haven’t I refrained from going further wrong?

After receiving the young lady into this purple-gold gourd, I regretted it. Don’t be mad at me, I have plenty of money, and we can be a carefree Immortal couple!"

The little fox smiled slightly and continued probing;

The members at Trapped Snake Island, preparing to stretch their fists, were stunned upon receiving Miss Hu Jiu’s reply — not only was she not in danger, but had understood the opponent’s situation thoroughly; given time, the Divne Artifact purple-gold gourd might be in her hands.

"The charm techniques cultivated by the Fox Race are truly terrifying?!"

"Speaking of, when Xiao Jiu was assisting me in capturing traitors in Cloud City, she was notably at ease. Those captivated by her charm technique spilled all their secrets."

"Geez, sounds more terrifying than being cursed!"

"Whew! At least, Miss Hu Jiu’s safety isn’t a pressing issue. Cultivators not affected by her charm technique won’t try to abduct her; those affected are excessively fawning, albeit lacking in combat power, it’s a good strategy to conquer with gentleness..."

...........

The previously tense atmosphere has completely calmed down.

After repeatedly confirming the little fox can handle it herself, the group dispersed for their respective duties.

Someone’s joy naturally brings someone else’s sorrow.

The Sixth Elder was pacing impatiently on his personal Immortal Ship, initially driven by lust to quickly enjoy the beauty; subsequently, he was left waiting without a word from his trusted men;

Finally realizing his trusted men most likely fled with the Divine Artifact and the beauty, he became a human powder keg, exploding in fury.

"Damn you, Zhan Chenyang, dare to covet my treasure! Once caught, I’ll tear you to pieces!" Momentarily raging, the still rational Sixth Elder realized he couldn’t dispatch the iron-blooded Black Riders to risk further.

After all, the Sect Leader has already thwarted him by overturning the three Holy Lands.

Now he’s lost his greatest dependency, the Divine Artifact purple-gold gourd; if any harm befalls the iron-blooded Black Riders, his own safety is at stake.

After confirming there are no sudden collective fatalities in Leisure Sect, he promptly summoned the Three Protectors proficient in arranging affairs.

"Qi Baijun, I know since joining Leisure Sect, you have tirelessly worked for the Sect’s expansion. During this period, many unexpected events have occurred, and I recognize and appreciate your devoted efforts in managing and coping."

Jiang Yuan: ???

Hold up! Are you triggering some condition, does playing Qi Baijun count as joining?

Meticulously deploying troops, is it considered real work?

So... if Leisure Sect really collapses, does it count as performance?

Without waiting to respond, the impatient Sixth Elder shifted his tone, "I know you’re busy and tired, but there’s a very important task I can’t entrust to others!"

"Please instruct me, Elder."

"Ahem! The Great Protector, that useless fool, I assume you’ve long noticed. I hereby order his dismissal and, along with his arrogant sister, handle the dozen or so subordinates with them." He gave Qi Baijun a meaningful look, smiling, "Consider it a reward for your recent efforts."

Far away on Conch Island, Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, tsking, this is giving Qi Baijun the chance to devour discarded Evil Cultivators!

The avatar thanked the Elder for the reward, the other reciprocated with benefits before formally stating the request, "I have a trusted aide named Zhan Chenyang, you’ve seen him, ordinarily roaming to find me some women for entertainment.

The other day, he discovered a charming little fox spirit at Trapped Snake Island, named Miss Hu Jiu. He assured me she’d be brought to my bed, but that little beauty never ventures out, no opportunity to kidnap.

Ahem! I trusted Zhan Chenyang’s reliability, thus... dispatched him with the purple-gold gourd to capture her, yet he’s overdue and remains unaccounted for.

Uncertain whether he’s trapped by the Array of Trapped Snake Island; or, got the Divine Artifact, kidnapped the beauty, and betrayed Leisure Sect fled. I remember those two Squad Leaders you developed are high-ranking in the Demon Realm Alliance, attend to this personally, make sure to retrieve the purple-gold gourd, Miss Hu Jiu and Zhan Chenyang!"

What?!

Old fool, you intended to kidnap the little fox?

Even dared hand the Divine Artifact to outsiders?

Now both treasure and person are gone, know the urgency?

What were you doing previously! Mistakenly driven by lust till reason was consumed?

Jiang Yuan’s avatar was utterly shocked, bewildered momentarily before nodding, "This is vital, I will investigate! Personally!"

Whether it’s the little fox’s safety or the legendary purple-gold gourd, they’re paramount, absolutely preventing any Evil Cultivators from intervening!

Learning information synchronized, Jiang Yuan quickly messaged Hu Zhile and Hou Ze, fearing the little fox was captured, while the big fox and Shopkeeper remained oblivious.

[Hu Zhile: Thank you for your concern, sir. My little sister indeed was abducted by someone named Zhan Chenyang using a Divine Artifact. Despite this, that man fell victim to my sister’s charm technique; she just sent word she’s secured the purple-gold gourd and sealed Zhan Chenyang inside, ready to return to the courtyard. I’m heading to Carefree City to meet her.]

Jiang Yuan: !!!

Only a few days unseen, has Miss Hu Jiu’s charm technique refined further?!

Immediately returning to the main courtyard; it took no more than a minute for the Hu Sisters to transport back, hand in hand.

"Sir, look at the wonderful thing I’ve brought back!" Miss Hu Jiu, upon setting foot, saw the Young Master she longed for, her face flushed, delighted, stepping closer.

Delicate hands retrieved the radiant purple-gold gourd from her Storage Bag, offering it with a gentle voice, "This purple-gold gourd is truly intriguing.

Ordinarily cared for and cultivated by you, sir, I’m utterly grateful from my heart, as is my third sister. We present this item to express our heartfelt gratitude and hope sir finds it worthy."

Sincerely spoken; after all, whether the Charm Technique she cultivated, the Jade Ruyi used, or third sister’s various Cultivation Techniques, resources utilized, Curse avoidance, all credited to sir’s nurture.

Today finally acquiring a treasure to somewhat repay such favors, how could one privately retain a Divine Artifact?
