Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1278 1189: Challenge

These dozens of male favorites had long wanted to teach Wang Yan a lesson, and had been guarding outside Wang Yan's door for more than a dozen days.

Now seeing Wang Yan appear, these dozens of male favorites immediately jumped out.

One of the male favorites said coldly, "Kid, today I'm going to teach you how to behave!"

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel amused and helpless. He never thought that inadvertently, he had become a thorn in the side of these male favorites.

At that moment, Wang Yan shook his head, ready to use his means to drive these male favorites away.

However, suddenly, Wang Yan stopped immediately, and his ears perked up, revealing a trace of deep meaning.

Because in his ears, he heard the conversation between Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng.

He heard Qin Shousheng sigh and say, "Both of us have broken through to the Initial Tier of Demon Saint, and can no longer hold the position of Imperial Censor. Without a position, any supply is cut off. To regain the supply, we'll have to wait until Great Perfection of Demon Saint to challenge for the position of Governor. Alas, who knows how many years or months that will take?"

At this time, Ji Congjing said coldly, "No one has stipulated that those at the Initial Tier of Demon Saint cannot be Governors. We can challenge for the position of Governor right now."

Qin Shousheng said, "Even if that's true, if we challenge for the position of Governor, we'll definitely be killed by Governor Luo Yuan."

Ji Congjing said, "Have you forgotten? A few days ago in Qinrong Palace, Luo Yuan was seriously injured, and his cultivation dropped significantly. Our Dual Cultivation Technique can temporarily transfer one person's cultivation level to another, so we'll actually be fighting Luo Yuan together, and we are sure to win."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shousheng's face revealed a hint of joy, but then he shook his head and said, "But even if the two of us defeat Luo Yuan, we certainly won't convince everyone. Others will inevitably challenge us; what should we do then?"

Ji Congjing said, "Why are you so stupid? Once we're Governors, we'll immediately loot everything from Nanyang County. When someone challenges us, we'll just admit defeat. What we loot will be enough for us to cultivate to Great Perfection of Demon Saint."

Qin Shousheng immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Good, there's no time to delay, let's go right now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan thought to himself, "So the position of Governor can be challenged? I didn't know how to nibble away at Emperor Qin's power, and this opportunity has just fallen into my lap. If I secretly help Ji Congjing defeat all 36 Governors, wouldn't it mean the entire Underworld belongs to me?"

While Wang Yan was pondering, those dozens of male favorites saw Wang Yan lower his head, mistakenly thinking Wang Yan was afraid, and immediately became a bit complacent, shouting even louder.

The shouting startled Ji Congjing, whose face darkened as he cursed, "Bold fools, don't you want to live anymore?"

As he spoke, Ji Congjing flipped up from the bed, draping a garment over himself, and opened the door to go out.

Outside, dozens of male favorites were loudly surrounding Wang Yan.

The male favorites immediately quieted down upon seeing Ji Congjing appear, hurriedly bowing their heads, not daring to speak.

Ji Congjing was about to get angry, but upon seeing Wang Yan standing among the male favorites, his anger vanished, and he walked out of the room, smiling as he said to Wang Yan, "So it's you, why did you come out?"

One male favorite immediately complained to Ji Congjing, "He doesn't know the rules and walked to the master's door without permission. We were just going to teach him the rules."

"Shut up!" Ji Congjing harshly scolded before the male favorite could finish, scaring him into silence.

Turning back to Wang Yan, Ji Congjing softened his expression again, saying, "Ah, so you were looking for me? Have you missed me? Actually, I've missed you too..."

Before Ji Congjing could finish, Qin Shousheng walked out from the room, his face sullen, and said, "Lady, stop wasting time with these fools, we have important matters to do, let's go."

Seeing Qin Shousheng's ugly appearance, Ji Congjing couldn't help but feel disheartened, wishing Wang Yan were a Demon Cultivator.

But realizing they should challenge Luo Yuan immediately, otherwise, if time dragged on and Luo Yuan's cultivation was restored, their plans would all be in vain.

Left with no choice, Ji Congjing said to Wang Yan, "Dear boy, wait for me at home for a few days, I'll be back soon."

At this time, Wang Yan spoke for the first time, "I'll go with you."

Ji Congjing was taken aback, then laughed heartily, batting her eyes, "So you really can't bear to part with me? Is it because you're still fond of my skills in bed? Although I would also love to take you, it's too dangerous this time; you better stay here."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Seeing Wang Yan persist, Ji Congjing hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll take you then; I don't want to be apart from you."

Beside them, a murderous glint flashed in Qin Shousheng's eyes, thinking, "Fine, do tag along. In the chaos later, I'll take care of you."

At this time, a servant brought the carriage, and the three boarded, leaving the courtyard in a cloud of dust.

Left in the courtyard, many male favorites were hopping mad and swore out of frustration, but with Wang Yan favored by Ji Congjing, they had no recourse but to curse silently, hoping for a chance to thrash Wang Yan when he returned next.

The carriage raced through Nanyang County towards the center of the County City.

After traversing several streets, the carriage stopped in front of a spacious courtyard.

In this courtyard, towering walls, drooping willows by the entrance, the main red door shut tight, two stone lions flanking it, and beside the entrance stood a large drum taller than a person.

Below the steps of the entrance was a team of Demon Cultivators, guarding the door.

Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng stepped down from the carriage, walking to the main entrance.

At this point, a guard Demon Cultivator stood in the middle of the door, arms raised, and said coldly, "Imperial Censor Ji, the Governor is not receiving guests today."

Upon hearing this, Ji Congjing felt pleased, further evidence that Luo Yuan was severely injured.

Immediately, Ji Congjing said coldly, "I must see him."

The guard Demon Cultivator sneered, "You certainly have guts. Do you think you're the Governor? If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude."

Ji Congjing laughed and said, "I may not be now, but soon I will be."

Saying this, Ji Congjing walked towards the giant drum.

"What, Ji Congjing, you're going to strike the war drum to challenge the Governor?" The guard Demon Cultivator's face immediately changed.

"Yes. Once the war drum is struck, Luo Yuan must come out to meet the challenge." Ji Congjing said, walking forth to strike the drum.

With a colossal drum sound, it instantly spread throughout Nanyang County, causing all Demon Cultivators to look up in surprise towards the County Mansion.

"Someone is challenging the Governor?"

"Which Demon Saint Great Perfection has come out?"

"Once-in-a-century event, let's go and see."

In no time, countless Demon Cultivators from every direction in Nanyang County flew towards the Governor's Mansion.
