I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess Novel - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Ling Qing’er Arrived (1)

The two of them became very excited and hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you for your support, Lord Envoy!”

“It’s getting late. You guys can go back first!” Xiao Ran said.

The two men excused themselves.

Xiao Ran dealt with the rest of the tasks and took stock of the family’s wealth.

The result surprised him very much. He did not expect Qian Yi to be so bold as to embezzle so much money.

Nearly 20 million taels of silver, an amount that was almost equivalent to a month’s tax revenue in Qing Province.

Zhao Ning did not disappoint him either. His net worth exceeded five million taels.

In the hall,

Little Zhou asked, “Brother Xiao, what should we do now?”

“How did our guys do it in the past?” Xiao Ran asked in return.

“As long as the case was handled by the Divine Sword Guards, 20% will be left behind, and the rest will be handed over to the state. Of the 20%, 10% goes to the headquarters. Then for the 10% left, the main contributor gets half, and the remaining half will be distributed according to the ranks of the officers and their respective contributions to the case.”

Then he paused for a while.

“But even then it’s too much, isn’t it? This money is too troublesome to take.”

“What are the reactions of the men below?” Xiao Ran asked.

“People who aren’t familiar with us are secretly watching. I can see the burning desire in their faces.”

After pausing for a while,

…

Xiao Ran then instructed, “We follow the rules!”

“Will we get into trouble?” Little Zhou was worried.

Xiao Ran shook his head and glared at him in annoyance. “It is impossible to survive if we set such impeccable standards. When they have to risk their lives, if you don’t provide any tangible benefits in return, who will work for you?”

“That’s true.” Little Zhou nodded in agreement.

“The Sacred Martial Bureau is even more outrageous. They take 30% of any case they handle.”

Pow!

Xiao Ran knocked him on the head and rolled his eyes. “They are them, we are us.”

Little Zhou rubbed the back of his head and laughed sheepishly. “I’ll do it now.”

After he left,

Xiao Ran checked the rewards of the Golden Tome of Creation. The rewards of the Jade Poison Scorpion, the man in black, and the Prefectural Governor were stacked together. Only one page was shown, and three items were displayed.

800,000 Mastery points, 50 years of Martial Arts Evolution, and 50 years of soul cultivation.

He added 800,000 Mastery points to Summon the Wind skill.

After the attributes were refreshed,

Summon the Wind: Dominating Refinement.

He was still 660 years away from breaking through to Level 6 of the Profound Realm in the Martial Arts Evolution.

In Spiritual Master Evolution, he was still 280 years away from breaking through to Level 6 of the Earth Realm.

He took out the egg of the Fiery Dance Divine Unicorn and looked at it. His gaze then landed on his right wrist.

“Come out.”

The Crimson Cetan tried his best to reduce his presence, staying in Xiao Ran’s wrist to recover his strength. These days, Xiao Ran did not order him out, nor did he ask for his elemental life flame, the Crimson Cetan Holy Fire. He was secretly delighted.

When Xiao Ran’s voice rang out, his good mood instantly turned sour.

Feeling very gloomy, he flew out from the wrist very reluctantly.

As his hawk-like eyes looked at the Fiery Dance Divine Unicorn, he felt the aura of a familiar bloodline from the egg.

He said in shock, “This… this is the egg of an ancient Unicorn!”

“Eh! You know about it?” Xiao Ran was surprised and curious.

The Crimson Cetan nodded his head, then shook his head. As Xiao Ran was about to hit him, he quickly blurted out, “My memory is not complete. I happened to recall a bit when I saw the egg just now. I only know that when it is at its peak, it is very powerful like me. In particular, its Divine Fire of Creation is imbued with infinite powers of creation. Once it achieves enlightenment, it can even create a whole world.”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered and looked at Xiao Ran.

“You were looking for me?”

“Use your Crimson Cetan Holy Fire to hatch it,” Xiao Ran said.

The Crimson Cetan was speechless with resentment.

Nonetheless, it still flew over. With a big spurt from its open mouth, the Crimson Cetan Holy Fire shot out, enveloped the egg and began to hatch it.

“What will happen if I add a little dragon blood?” Xiao Ran asked in curiosity.

There was nothing to lose even if he failed since he was using only a bit of dragon blood.

This much he could still afford to lose.

He extracted some dragon blood from Ao Yuanxiao’s body and sprinkled it on the egg.

As soon as the dragon blood landed, an overpowering suction emanated from the egg and devoured it.

After absorbing the dragon blood, the vitality in the egg increased a little.

“It’s useful after all.” Xiao Ran smiled.

He then took out all the dragon blood and splashed it on the egg.

The red light spun and whirled as the overpowering mighty fire element radiated from the egg. Seeing that the hall was about to get destroyed, Xiao Ran had no choice but to suppress its power.

As his purifying spiritual force struck out, it sealed the hall, protecting it. Only then was disaster averted.

After devouring all the dragon blood, under the Crimson Cetan Holy Fire’s incubationary effect,

the life force in the egg reached its peak at this moment. The shell cracked and a small dog broke out of its shell. It was fiery red, with two small bumps on its head. Its limbs were ablaze with red fiery flames, and its tail was very short. It stood where the egg used to be.

He looked at the eggshells on the ground and gobbled down all of them.

A pair of human-like dog eyes turned to Xiao Ran.

“What are you looking at?” Xiao Ran asked.

The little dog came up to him, rubbing his head affectionately against Xiao Ran’s calves with great enthusiasm.

“I’ll go back first,” The Crimson Cetan said weakly.

He turned into a ray of rainbow light and re-entered his arm.

“I’ll call you Dancer!” Xiao Ran gave the little dog a name.

Dancer let out a happy yelp.

“Can you eat a Jade Poison Scorpion?”

Bewildered, Dancer stared at him in confusion.

Xiao Ran took out the Jade Poison Scorpion’s corpse and threw it on the ground.

Dancer’s eyes lit up with excitement. With an excited bark, he rushed forward and began to gobble it down.

Despite his small size, he had a huge appetite. The corpse of a Jade Poison Scorpion was eaten completely with nothing left.

Fiery red light bloomed and rushed out of his body. The violent power swirled, as if it wanted to burst out its body in the next moment. The dog screamed in pain.

“You can’t eat this but you’re still so greedy.” Xiao Ran didn’t know what to say.

He injected a stream of purifying spiritual force into his body to suppress this violent power raging inside.

A few moments later,

Xiao Ran retracted his palm. The power of the Jade Poison Scorpion had been sealed and it would be gradually absorbed as the dog’s evolution level increased.

At the same time,

Dancer’s evolution level had also advanced to reach Level 10 of the Connate Realm.

Just as he was about to rest, Little Zhou’s voice rang out from outside the door. “Brother Xiao, Lady Ling is here.”
