Chá ā Ruì Dí Yǎ was overjoyed to receive the Fire Snake's inner elixir, and as soon as she took it in her hand, she felt a surge of pure yang energy flowing through her palm and into her body. Her severely injured body was invigorated by this warm energy, and she suddenly felt full of vitality.
The Corpse Emperor smiled and said, "Little girl, you're cultivating fire-type abilities, but your innate physique is weak to begin with. These past few days, it seems like you've overdrawn several times, injuring your primordial energy. After fusing this Fire Python's inner dan and slowly absorbing it, in the future, your physical body will become as powerful as that Fire Python that's about to ascend to dragonhood. At that time, even if you overdraw several times, it won't matter."
Ardiya's palm emitted a burst of flame, and the inner elixir of the fire python followed the flame into her body. Everyone saw a strong red glow rushing along her arm meridians directly to her dantian, where it settled in. The aura emanating from Ardiya's body immediately changed, and her originally somewhat weak aura suddenly gained several points of lofty and overbearing majesty.
Gu Xie dust stepped forward and saluted the Corpse Emperor, saying, "Master, your disciples have just entered the door and have not yet achieved any merit..."
The Corpse Emperor waved his hand to interrupt Gu Xiechen's words, and smiled, "Less of this flowery nonsense. We are the Nine Nether Dao, an evil sect, so we must have the appearance of an evil sect. Don't be so sycophantic in your words and deeds. Your merits are already great enough, heh... You gave that one-tenth of the treasure to Peng Hua, which shocked many old undead. Otherwise, why would I hurry here to preside? It's precisely to keep an eye on those old things, lest they snatch our benefits."
He stretched out his long arm and patted Gu Xuan Dust's shoulder, Shi Di smiled and said, "You have made a great contribution to our sect, so these are all what you deserve."
Let's just drop it and stop nagging, we're all sensible people, aren't we?
The Corpse Emperor's finger pointed to the ground, and four white stone meditation cushions suddenly appeared in mid-air. He gestured for Gu Xiechen, Peng Hua, and others to sit on the cushions, while Yuehua and Yueling presented each person with a cup of Blood Lotus Wine.
He carefully lifted the teacup and took a cautious sip of the eerie, pungent blood-red tea. The moment it touched his tongue, the foul smell transformed into an enchanting aroma that spread throughout his body, like a bomb exploding in his abdomen. A warm current flowed down his esophagus, and a refreshing fragrance burst forth from every pore, bringing with it a hint of dark grey impurities. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and he felt suddenly lighter.
"Good tea!" exclaimed Gu Xie. He hastily took another big gulp, and more dark grey impurities seeped out of his body.
Peng Hua proudly boasted, "Of course it's good tea! I don't know how much hard work Master put into it either. It takes more than ten years to get just a little over a catty to show respect to the master!"
Sai Ren also hastily took a sip, and the strange feeling as well as the magical effect of helping the body to expel impurities made Sai Ren similarly full of praise.
Aridiya looked at the blood-stained sakura petals in her hand with a strange expression. She stole a glance at the faint black-gray impurities on Gu Xiechen and Sai Zhen's faces, and secretly poured the tea water from the teacup into the fire, using her heterochromatic ability to evaporate it completely.
The Corpse Emperor glanced at Aridyah and smiled. Shaking his head, the Corpse Emperor said to Gu Xuan Dust, "This time, I came here to wait for you, not only because I was afraid that someone would intercept you halfway and snatch you away as their disciple, but also because there is another matter that I want to discuss with you."
Gu Xie dust put down tea bowl and said, "Please speak clearly, Master."
The Emperor asked straightforwardly, "There is a vacant seat in the lower house of the Federal Parliament. Are you interested in filling it?"
Federal congressman? Gu Xie's heart skipped a few beats violently as he looked at Peng Hua and asked in confusion, "Why me?"
The Emperor said bluntly, "Don't look at Peng Hua, these bastards are good at killing and arson, robbery... Do you want the Federal Congress to perform a horror movie in the middle of the night? Or, these bastards were sold by others and helped count money, this kind of thing can't be done by them."
Lowering his head in thought for a moment, Gu Xie asked, "Then why me?"
This question seems to be the same as the previous one, but the Emperor's answer was meaningful. "Because you now have this qualification. The data of Youxian Star... um, it's the so-called Heavenly Star in the Federation, and your recognition among the Federation people is very high."
"Moreover, you've taken down dozens of Roman first-rate warships. With this achievement alone, with just a bit of hype and our support from behind, you can fill this seat and be re-elected in the federal election two years later without any problem."
He sneered and the Corpse Emperor said in a cold and sinister tone, "It's precisely because your popularity among the Federation's people is so high right now that when you return to Earth, some people deliberately try to eliminate your influence. However, they're also being overly optimistic."
With a big slap on Gu Xiechen's shoulder, Shi Di burst out laughing and said, "You go take care of your own business, don't bother with anything else. As long as you're willing to be this councilor, this position will definitely be yours!"
He patted Peng Xue's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Peng Hua is your senior brother. He can no longer improve his cultivation by just continuing to practice bitterly. What he needs now is to understand the ways of the world and human nature. So, when you're busy with those things, let Peng Hua follow you and guide him well."
Peng Hua's face suddenly turned black.
Gu Xie almost laughed out loud, he nodded vigorously and agreed to this matter.
But he still felt that something was strange and subconsciously asked, "However, the Federal House of Representatives is fine, why would it suddenly be absent?"
The Emperor's hands were tucked into his sleeves, he was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Old people, heart problems... In the middle of the night, suddenly saw some unclean things and got a fright, heart disease, just went like that..."
Gu Xie was silent, Sai Ren was speechless, and A Rui Diya was stunned. Only Peng Hua flattered the corpse emperor, sticking out a big thumb, "Master, good move!"
Corpse Emperor, haha, laughed a few times and stood up. As soon as he stood up, it was quite impressive. His forehead almost hit the ceiling of the flower hall. Even if an ordinary Roman's height is more than a foot shorter than Corpse Emperor's, I don't know whether Corpse Emperor was born with such grandeur or cultivated some kind of extraordinary skill to have such a large build.
He lowered his head and walked out of the flower hall, the Corpse Emperor said in a low voice, "You little guys go play on your own, I'm going to fight with those bull noses. Otherwise, at least half of that one-tenth of the treasure will be deducted!"
"Hmph, once something has entered our Nine You Dao's mouth, where can it be returned?"
A dark gust of wind swept by, and the Emperor's massive body vanished without a trace.
Peng Hua, Sai Ren and Aridiya looked at Gu Xie Chen simultaneously. Sai Ren stretched her waist and asked, "So, what are we going to do now?"
Gu Xie dust asked Yue Hua for a cup of blood cherry tea, and he sipped the tea while calmly saying,
"What are you going to do? Find a room to take a bath... then go find Captain Hu!"
The reorganization of Hell's Angel Mercenary Corps should have started, and many things can't be helped but worried about.
This mercenary group, now upgraded to a defense company, Gu Xie Chen is preparing for future use.
The old zombie collected the treasure and left
