The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

In Cui Baiyi's eyes, Jiang Guan was nothing more than a clown. Apart from having decent strength, he had nothing else remarkable.

This world is ultimately controlled by the clever and the ambitious.

Without sufficient insight, one can only become a toy for others.

"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just that you don't qualify." Cui Baiyi didn't care about Jiang Guan's feelings and spoke bluntly.

Jiang Guan was infuriated by Cui Baiyi's words.

But he was powerless; unable to defeat Cui Baiyi, he could only endure.

"Cui Baiyi, I really want to see how long you can be arrogant." Jiang Guan dropped these words and didn't linger any longer, promptly soaring away.

Watching Jiang Guan leave, Cui Baiyi lightly raised an eyebrow.

Next, Cui Baiyi jumped down from the Copper Bell, gesturing casually.

The massive Copper Bell chimed softly, abruptly shrank, and then swiftly burrowed into Cui Baiyi's chest.

Mei Fanghua was staring blankly at Cui Baiyi in front of her.

She didn't have much to do with Cui Baiyi, except for having killed two Soul Capture Pavilion Cultivators who had his Judge Order.

Their relationship formed from conflicts.

Mei Fanghua didn't understand why Cui Baiyi would save her; logically, he should be more eager for her death than Jiang Guan.

"Do you know why I spared your life?" Cui Baiyi looked towards Mei Fanghua.

"I don't know." Mei Fanghua shook her head.

A sinister smile appeared on Cui Baiyi's aged face, giving whoever saw it the chills.

"This is why I spared your life." Cui Baiyi spoke while smiling.

Mei Fanghua clenched her fists slightly, bowing her head, "Thank you, Judge Cui."

Of course, she understood Cui Baiyi's implication; he was implying she was stupid, just in a more implicit way.

Although Mei Fanghua was not adept at tactics, she could still grasp the meaning behind his words.

"I have a mission for you." Cui Baiyi said.

"Please speak, Judge Cui, Fang Hua will do her utmost." Mei Fanghua immediately responded.

Aligning with Cui Baiyi, who was leagues more dependable than the likes of Qin Sheng and Jiang Guan, seemed far more promising, given Cui Baiyi's unimaginable strength.

"Declare war on the Soul Capture Pavilion." Cui Baiyi's tone was emotionless.

What!

Mei Fanghua was stunned. What did Cui Baiyi mean? Was he ordering the Central Emperor Realm to go to war with the Soul Capture Pavilion? Why?

"Don't ask why; I only want to know if you are willing." Cui Baiyi asked plainly.

Despite his calm voice, Mei Fanghua was very clear—once she refused, the next moment, her head would roll.

"Only the command of Judge Cui is to be followed." Mei Fanghua nodded.

"Good." Cui Baiyi nodded, "I don't care how you do it, but make the Central Emperor Realm attack as madly and as forcefully as possible, the more people involved in the war, the better. I don't want to see just thousands or millions in battle, I want to see hundreds of millions or even billions—understand?"

Hundreds of billions, Mei Fanghua gulped hard.

The Central Emperor Realm had a population in the trillions, but many areas were beyond her control, especially some remote planets; their inhabitants might not even know that their ruler had been changed.

There's no helping it. The range is too vast, and there are too many planets under jurisdiction, making it inevitable that some areas remain unmanaged.

Having billions of people participate in the war was already an impossible task, let alone hundreds of billions, how could it be possible...

"Remember, the better you carry out this task, the longer you'll live. If you fail, then I'm sorry, but I will consider replacing you. You should know that this isn' a difficult feat," said Cui Baiyi.

"I understand," Mei Fanghua nodded, already referring to herself as a subordinate.

"But, what if Tang Rao sabotages from within?" Mei Fanghua asked.

"Don't worry, this is exactly what Tang Rao wants to see. Therefore, as long as we control well, he won't only not stop us; he might even lend us a hand," Cui Baiyi explained.

Mei Fanghua was somewhat baffled. Tang Rao wanted to see the Central Emperor Realm go to war with the Soul Capture Pavilion? Why?

It doesn't make sense. Tang Rao had initially put considerable effort into developing the Central Emperor Realm to this level of strength; it would be illogical for him to push it towards inevitable doom.

Going to war with the Soul Capture Pavilion, the Central Emperor Realm would undoubtedly suffer a massive blow.

Cui Baiyi glanced at Mei Fanghua and said, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll explain a bit more to you. Do you know what men hate? Hmm, they despise used goods, whether it's in women or toys. To Tang Rao, the Central Emperor Realm switching hands in his control has already become second-hand. What he really wants now is not to reclaim the Central Emperor Realm but to destroy it. He wants to show others that if he Tang Rao, could build the Central Emperor Realm, he can also annihilate it. You don't even understand Tang Rao's purposes, and yet you think of fighting against him, huh..."

While speaking, Cui Baiyi shook his head.

In his eyes, Mei Fanghua was even more of a clown than a clown, ridiculously foolish.

Hearing Cui Baiyi's words, Mei Fanghua stood with her mouth agape, her gaze shocked and hollow.

She had always thought Tang Rao's goal was to kill her and then reclaim the position of ruler of the Central Emperor Realm.

It turns out, Tang Rao had never intended to be the lord of the Central Emperor Realm again.

It turns out she didn't even understand Tang Rao's intentions, how laughable...

"Remember your task," Cui Baiyi said before slowly walking away, appearing quite leisurely.

"Tsk tsk tsk, really quite cunning…" Somewhere on the Star of Kings, Tang Rao muttered.

The events happening between Cui Baiyi and Mei Fanghua were being broadcasted live to him.

Technology, after all, should be put to good use.

Tang Rao had simply placed several floating surveillance devices in that area, and since they didn't use Spirit Stones, they wouldn't be detected. Even someone as powerful as Cui Baiyi would not notice them without intentionally searching.

However, Tang Rao was somewhat puzzled as to why Cui Baiyi was pushing Mei Fanghua to provoke a war between the Central Emperor Realm and the Soul Capture Pavilion.

What exactly was Cui Baiyi's intention?

Even though the Central Emperor Realm could not possibly defeat the Soul Capture Pavilion, such a conflict would undoubtedly cause losses to the latter as well, and not insignificant ones.

When the time comes, both sides would suffer damages.

Wait...

Tang Rao's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Could it be that the Soul Capture Pavilion wants a large number of corpses?" Tang Rao mumbled.

Although the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains generate countless corpses every day, most of these corpses are either from elderly natural deaths or from combatants missing limbs. The Soul Capture Pavilion actually does not get many complete corpses with potential. If they needed to develop Death Energy Puppets on a large scale, they require more complete corpses with good battle talents.

"Playing with Death Energy Puppets, huh? How interesting." Tang Rao was not annoyed, instead, his face revealed an extremely eerie expression.

Turning the dead into Puppets, although Tang Rao couldn't claim to be the pioneer, at least, the technique of the Soul Capture Pavilion had been gleaned from his own research.

Initially, Tang Rao did not fully develop Death Energy Puppets, hence there were many aspects he had not shown.

Those aspects, unknown to anyone, certainly couldn't be known by the Soul Capture Pavilion.
