105: Chapter 105 It seems this Marquis values ​​you highly, sir!

Huizhou Official Road.

Inside the carriage, Kang Dalei was sorting through his spoils of war.

Ever since he had high-profilely brandished the banner of "The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy," not only the noble clans but even the demon beasts had flocked to him. Along the way, hundreds of demon-humans had already died at the hands of Bai Xuaner.

(Demon-humans: people who have been transformed from ordinary humans into half-demon bodies.)

However, this type of demon-human did not possess demon cores; only their demon bones were decent, serving as one of the important materials for refining magic treasures.

"Right, you've worked hard these past few days. Come here, let me give you a kiss as a reward."

After Kang Dalei finished counting the spoils, he started acting unseriously again.

Bai Xuaner pressed her foot against his chest, while her hands were occupied with a book, which she was reading with great interest.

"Go away, no acting like a hooligan."

The title of the book was "Cangyuan Map: Sorry! My Fiancées Are All King-level."

"By the way, where are you planning to go for the next stop?"

After finishing the last chapter to see if it was a King-level expert helping him, Bai Xuaner closed the book and suddenly asked Kang Dalei again.

These past few days, after helping Kang Dalei slay the demon beasts that came to attack them, her cultivation had clearly improved significantly, and she had already stabilized at the early stage of the Great Sun Realm.

If she could keep fighting like this, in a few more days, perhaps her realm would rise to the middle stage of the Great Sun Realm.

Kang Dalei took out the list, looked at it, and said: "Huizhou City."

"Huizhou City?" Bai Xuaner muttered to herself for a moment.

"What's so good about going to Huizhou City? The Divine Venerable there doesn't seem to be a threat to you, right?"

Kang Dalei didn't answer, but kept asking back: "Just because there's no threat, does that mean I can't go and pay a visit? For Divine Venerables who suck the blood of soldiers, one must naturally kill them, but for those who genuinely protect the common people, one must naturally reward them. Only with clear rewards and punishments can it be conducive for everyone to continue slaying demons."

"Oh." Bai Xuaner suddenly seemed to understand something and said: "So the reason you asked me for so much money was to reward these Divine Venerables who aren't corrupt."

"You're so smart." Kang Dalei set down the foot Bai Xuaner had pressed against his chest and said solemnly: "Although I, Kang Dalei, have average talent, I am very reliable when it comes to enforcing the law impartially and being selfless for the greater good."

Bai Xuaner rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to this jerk.

A Marquis-level expert under twenty years old, and he calls his talent average? Then what is she, at 29 and only in the Great Sun Realm, having broken through only between life and death? Is she an idiot?

"Kang Dalei, you really know how to put on an act."

"Xuaner, you're so beautiful. Let your good brother kiss you one more time. I promise not to take responsibility after."

"Go to hell."

The next day, Huizhou City.

The Divine Venerable guarding this place, knowing that Kang Dalei was coming, excitedly tidied up the government office all night. Early in the morning, before the roosters had even crowed, he brought a large group of servants and slaves to guard the city gate.

"Father, who is this Kang Dalei? Why do you treat him with such courtesy?"

"That's right, My Lord, you have never treated the envoys sent from above like this before."

Facing their father and superior, who had guarded Huizhou City for a hundred years and had long been unable to obtain resources to advance to the Undying Realm because he refused to give face to those above, did not engage in corruption, did not accept bribes, and did not send gifts, the two were very curious about who exactly could make him treat them with such courtesy, waiting at the city gate before dawn.

The old man looked at their curious expressions. While feeling pleased in his heart, he also laughed loudly and said: "A Marquis-level expert under twenty years old."

"What?"

The old man had just said one sentence when the two interrupted him, saying: "Wait, My Lord, what did you just say? I didn't quite hear clearly. Who is under twenty and is a Marquis-level expert?"

The old man smiled, ignored his subordinate's question, and continued: "Because of the case of embezzling military supplies, he killed the Marquis-level Divine Venerable of Nanyue City and returned millions in gains in front of all the city's commoners. Furthermore, because the Imperial Family was unwilling to offend the noble clans and would not send a Divine Venerable to Nanyue City, he actually found a Divine Venerable to guard it himself, ensuring the common people had no worries. You tell me, isn't such a person worth this old man greeting him?"

"A Marquis killing a Marquis? Isn't he also from a noble clan?" the man exclaimed.

The old man stroked his beard with a smile on his face: "That is precisely why I admire him. To be able to disregard his noble clan identity for the sake of the common people—this person's courage, boldness, and bearing are the only ones I have ever seen in my life."

"But Father, by doing this, he offends the noble clans. Will the noble clans let him go? I've heard that those who betray the noble clans are to be collectively hunted down and killed."

The young man on the side, having heard his father's account, also became interested in this Marquis-level expert under twenty. However, besides interest, it also made him feel a sense of unease. Offending the noble clans was equivalent to going against the entire system of Divine Venerables in the world.

"Will he win?"

Hearing this, the old man's smile became even more unbridled: "This is the second thing I want to tell you. Not only did he kill Marquis Nanyue, but he was also appointed by Yuanchu Mountain as The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy, holding the authority to supervise the world."

"What." The two were shocked again.

"The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy, just how strong is his strength?"

"Middle stage of the Marquis-level," the old man said calmly. "Of course, this is just my guess. Logically, he has only just become a Marquis-level expert, so his strength should be at the early stage. However, to be able to kill Marquis Nanyue, he should have the combat power of the middle stage."

"A Marquis-level middle stage expert under twenty years old? Father, this person is the number one genius of our Cangyuan World."

"Look, they've arrived."

Just as the three were chatting enthusiastically, someone shouted. The three looked up and saw that on the official road, teams of soldiers beating gongs and drums were carrying a plaque as they approached.

There was nothing else on it, just six large characters: "The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy."

"Father, it really is the Inspection Envoy."

"I see it." The old man stroked his beard with a smile. Taking two steps in one, he went forward to greet the carriage, saying: "Your subordinate, the Prefect of Huizhou, Yuan Huacheng, greets the Inspection Envoy, My Lord."

Inside the carriage, Kang Dalei, who was sound asleep, just turned over and continued to grunt.

Meanwhile, Bai Xuaner, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating on the side, speechlessly pulled her hand away from Kang Dalei's embrace and said to the outside of the carriage:

"Prefect, there is no need for such formalities. The Marquis is just passing by. By the way, to acknowledge the Prefect's many years of guarding Huizhou and his many battle merits, the Marquis rewards you with 200,000 in silver, ten bottles of azure white dew, and one Undying Pill."

Bai Xuaner seemed to remember something else and instructed outside the window. The girl driving the carriage immediately and respectfully reached her hand into the carriage. Very quickly, a stack of silver notes, ten bottles of medicinal liquid, and an Undying Pill packed in a box were sent out.

"My Lord, this is a gift from the Marquis out of his own pocket. We hope you will continue to work hard."

The items were delivered into Yuan Huacheng's hands. At this moment, this old general, who had not knelt to any envoy from above in a hundred years, actually kowtowed heavily toward Kang Dalei's carriage today.

"Your subordinate thanks the Inspection Envoy, My Lord."

"Very well, if the Prefect has no other business, we will not stay any longer." Bai Xuaner coughed lightly, and the honor guard set off again, bypassing Huizhou and heading to the next destination, Xiangzhou. It was a medium-sized Marquis-level city.

After Kang Dalei's honor guard left and completely disappeared from sight, the old man Yuan Huacheng withdrew his gaze.

"The Marquis traveled thousands of miles just to send Father medicinal pills and money."

"It seems this Marquis thinks very highly of you, My Lord!"

Yuan Huacheng came back to his senses at this time, glared at the two of them, and said: "What do you know? Do you think the medicinal pills the Marquis gave me are ordinary?"

Looking at his two inexperienced son and subordinate, Yuan Huacheng snorted heavily and then explained: "This Undying Pill is a rare demon core that can help people break through from the peak of the Danyun Realm to the Undying Realm; it is almost impossible to buy on the market. And this azure white dew is an even rarer treasure that can allow a person to instantly recover all spiritual energy when their spiritual energy is exhausted."
