166: Chapter 166 The Increasingly Powerful Linlin

Wei He pushed open his door and was about to head downstairs when he passed Linlin's room. The door, which Tang Xiaowei had kicked open earlier, was still ajar. Wei He glanced inside, and with just one look, he understood why Tang Xiaowei had reacted that way.

At first, Wei He thought Tang Xiaowei was just an innocent girl who had blushed because she wasn't used to such things. Now it seemed he had oversimplified the situation.

Wei He's eyes widened as he stared at the scene inside the room in disbelief. The last time he saw Linlin and three Wolf-Headed Beastmen walk out of a room, he thought she was powerful enough. Now, it seemed he had still underestimated the girl. If she ever returned to Blue Star with him, she could definitely carve out a new world for herself in a certain island nation; becoming a new generation of adult action stars wouldn't be out of the question.

“Bull-Headed Beastmen really live up to their name... their anatomy is so... even the smallest one is the size of a mineral water bottle. Tsk tsk, one in front and one behind, with three Bull-Headed Beastmen dealing with Linlin all at once... Linlin, you've really got something! You're not just badass; you've truly become a ‘bull’ badass!” Wei He marveled as he slowly walked down the stairs, wanting to give Linlin a big thumbs-up for being so incredibly powerful.

Wei He shook his head to clear the images from his mind and walked into the opposite courtyard. That Scarlet Gold Demonic Ape was still standing there dazed. He ignored the Yellow-Haired Gorilla and went straight to the Mistress of the House.

The Mistress of the House was currently pinned under a large tree, her blood already dried. Her large, terrified eyes stared straight ahead as if she couldn't rest in peace. Her fair skin had turned slightly dull. Looking at her delicate features and slender fingers, Wei He sighed softly, “It's such a pity for such a beautiful girl to die like this.”

“Quick, quick! Surround this place immediately! Don't let anyone escape. We must ensure the safety of our distinguished guests!” A group of Leopard-Headed Beastmen, clad in golden armor with golden sabers at their waists, quickly surrounded the courtyard with serious expressions.

The leader of the Leopard-Headed Beastmen from yesterday walked into the courtyard swaggering with his golden saber. Upon seeing Wei He, he approached respectfully, bowed, and said, “Lord, you're up so early. Did these two attack you? I'll take them back right away. It was my subordinates' failure to protect you that allowed these two thieves to sneak in. Please do not be angry, Lord!”

Wei He waved his hand and said with a smile, “Leopard-Headed Guard, your actions are indeed swift. You've investigated the situation so quickly. Speed is indeed the soul of war!”

“Oh, you flatter me, Lord! Hahaha!” the leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards laughed triumphantly.

Watching the Leopard-Headed Guards move the tree off the Mistress of the House and prepare to take her body away, Wei He quickly stopped them. “Wait, there's still a Yellow-Haired Gorilla on the roof. This woman was killed by that Yellow-Haired Gorilla in the courtyard. Surely you aren't going to convict a dead person too?”

“Understood, Lord. We know, we will handle it! Please go back and rest! Thank you!” the leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards said very politely.

“Alright!” Wei He nodded and walked out of the courtyard back to his room. As he passed Linlin's room, he thoughtfully closed the door for her.

In the First Prince's mansion, Spike looked at the two dazed Scarlet Gold Demonic Apes with hollow, soulless eyes. He turned to the leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards and asked with a cold gaze, “What happened? Why did they end up like this? How are you doing your jobs? Has that guy named Wei He been killed yet?”

“No, First Prince. Those people are truly strange. One of the Scarlet Gold Demonic Apes had already succeeded and heavily injured that Wei He—the Lord of the Magic Empire. But just as it was about to kill him, it suddenly stopped moving and became like this!” The Leopard-Headed Beastman leader reported to First Prince Spike, mimicking the scene.

“Useless, a bunch of useless fools! However, since Wei He was heavily injured, he won't be so lucky next time. Hahaha!” First Prince Spike's expression softened slightly with satisfaction upon hearing that Wei He was injured.

“First Prince, the strange part is right here. Wei He was clearly heavily injured at the time, but when I brought the troops over the next morning, he showed no signs of injury at all. It's as if his wounds healed overnight. It's like seeing a ghost. Could someone among them be a divine doctor?” Just as Spike was feeling happy, the Leopard-Headed Guard leader poured cold water on him again.

“What? You saw Wei He was heavily injured, so why didn't you just go and kill him? Why did you let him get treated? Hmm?” Spike's face turned livid as he questioned him fiercely.

“First Prince, it's not that I didn't want to kill him, but there was simply no opportunity. The woman beside him is a Judgment Level Ability User. We are only Rank 3 Magic Beastmen and are completely no match for her. As soon as the Scarlet Gold Demonic Ape attacked, she subdued it. She was also the one who saved Wei He. It feels like none of the women around him are simple!” The Leopard-Headed Guard leader swallowed and added with a lewd smile, “That girl in green actually had seven or eight Bull-Headed Beastmen attend to her. Tsk tsk, and they played all night without getting tired!”

“Why are you telling me this? Since assassination won't work, then use poison. You are now the guard leader protecting them; this shouldn't be hard to handle, right?” Spike said, his eyes cold.

“Not hard at all, First Prince! Leave this to me, you can rest assured. I'm most familiar with poisoning. Heh heh, I'm not boasting, but even if he were a God-Demon Level Ability User, he wouldn't escape my jade cicada poison flower! Hahaha!” The Leopard-Headed Guard leader patted his chest and introduced his plan to Spike with a laugh.

“Good, very good. If you fail again, I will cripple your cultivation and throw you back into the jungle to let you taste what it's like to be a beast again. Do you understand? Hahaha!” Spike laughed maniacally. The Leopard-Headed Guard leader nodded trembling and quickly left.

In the hall of the Changle Residence, Wei He was leisurely drinking tea. Neme and Tang Xiaowei also came downstairs and greeted Wei He happily. Linlin was the last to come down, followed by seven or eight sturdy Bull-Headed Beastmen.

“Alright, you've been working hard all night. Go and rest!” Linlin stretched and patted a Minotaur Beastmen's backside, speaking quite considerately.

“As you command, Queen!” the Bull-Headed Beastmen said with fawning expressions, bowing their heads as they walked out the door.

“Linlin, you've trained them well. They're so polite!” Neme said slowly to Linlin, looking at the Bull-Headed Beastmen in shock.

“Oh, it's nothing, just average! By the way, Sister Neme, how did you sleep last night?” Linlin closed one eye and stuck out her tongue, asking cutely.
