I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 82: Diamond Barbie! You talk rules with a playboy? (4K)

Fire Department Court.

The charcoal fire in the furnace is glowing red, flames lick the furnace walls, and the tea in the purple sand teapot boils, filling the air with an invigorating fragrance.

Lord Jian, holding his teacup, savors it contentedly, the flavor lingering in his mouth.

"Households Commander Bai is getting old, his attempt to break into the Heavenly Human Realm failed, and in a few more years, he should retire."

"The position of households commander being vacant, it should be promoted from within the deputy households."

"The condition is, one must enter the Fourth-Level Martial Arts."

Without reaching the Fourth-Level Martial Arts, one is not qualified to enter the Qilin Pavilion; deputy households is the limit, and the official career stops there.

Lord Jian asked himself that his talent is not inferior, not yet fifty and already at the Pure Yang Peak, only a step away from the Fourth-Level Divine Sea.

But this step is like a chasm.

He had already failed the assault three times.

As the saying goes, poverty in literature and wealth in the military, Alchemy Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Weapons, Spiritual Marrow... Isn’t each of these obtained by spending money?

To open the Divine Sea, besides having enough intellect, a large amount of Spiritual Marrow is needed as support, each assault consumes a tremendous amount!

He has no backing, an ordinary family; if he wants to progress further, naturally, he needs to resort to some means.

"I, Lord Jian, got to where I am today all on my own efforts and sweat!"

"Corrupt?"

"Not at all, I just long for advancement too much!"

Lord Jian knows there are some rumors in the Government, but he doesn’t care.

They are just a bunch of insignificant pawns, their value lies in being his breakthrough to the Divine Sea, stepping stones into the Qilin Pavilion!

Thud thud thud—

At this moment, there’s a knock on the door.

Lord Jian frowns slightly, the only one who would come to find him here is Qiu Longgang.

Is it about the medical expenses again?

"It’s just a minor injury, no one died, this useless person really doesn’t get it!"

"Kind-hearted and soft-handed, hard to make a big achievement!"

"Sigh, well, I’ll still need him later..."

Lord Jian took out a silver note worth a hundred taels from his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, then put it back and changed it to one worth fifty taels.

Clearing his throat, he said:

"Come in..."

Bang—

Before the words fell, the door suddenly burst open!

A tall figure strides in, the jade blade in his hand gleams brilliantly!

"You took so long to open the door, does Lord Jian have someone hidden in here?"

"Chen Mo?!"

Seeing that handsome face, Lord Jian is slightly surprised, then his expression turns cold, "Barging into the court with a blade, what are you trying to do?"

Chen Mo, sitting boldly opposite, "Barging? I did knock, and Lord Jian personally let me in."

Lord Jian, his gray eyes narrowing, "No need for such cheap wordplay, speak plainly."

He didn’t seek trouble with Chen Mo, but this guy actually took the initiative to come to him?

What’s he planning?

Trying to provoke him into action?

The commotion in the court caught everyone’s attention, the Assistant Officer Captains gather at the door.

Qiu Longgang squeezed through the crowd, seeing the scene, his cheeks turned pale, he hastily said, "Chen Mo, don’t be impulsive..."

Thud—

A dark light flashes, the Qilin Token nailed to the door frame.
