I Just Won't Play By The Book



"Greetings, Your Majesty."

In the Moonwood Palace, Hong Yaxuan, who had been waiting for Jiang Beiran for three months, finally got what she wanted and bowed to Jiang Beiran.

"No need to be polite. Zhen has been in seclusion for three months and has made Emissary Hong wait."

"Yaxuan came at the wrong time. It has nothing to do with His Majesty."Hong Yaxuan then took out a long box from her Cosmos Ring and said," There is a 10,000-foot-long spirit ginseng in the box. Cultivators can improve their cultivation if they eat it, and ordinary people can live longer if they eat it. My master ordered me to give it to the Emperor. I wish the Emperor a long life.""

"Thank you, Sect Leader Wan." Jiang BeiRan gave Wang Shougui a look, and Wang Shougui immediately took the long box.

"Help me thank Sect Master Wan. In addition, I have also prepared some small gifts. I will have to trouble Emissary Hong to send them back later."

"Your Majesty, you should just call me by my name or call me Ya Xuan. The word 'emissary' sounds a little awkward."

"It's better not to change the way you address me. Envoy Hong has come from afar. I have already ordered people to prepare wine and dishes. Men, bring Hong..."

"Sigh! Wait, wait!" Hearing that the Emperor was about to send her off, Hong Yaxuan hurriedly waved her hand and said,""Emperor, there's no rush to eat. I still have some very important words to convey to you, so please dismiss your attendants first."

Jiang Beiran waved at the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and everyone retreated.

"Tell me, what's so important?"

" I was the one who passed on this message on behalf of my master. He thinks that not only is Your Majesty smart, but you also have a great vision of the big picture. Our Four Square Sect is currently lacking a Situ, and we need someone like Your Majesty who has a discerning eye to take on the role. Of course, the treatment of our Sect Situ is also very generous. Every month, we will be allocated a fixed amount of middle-grade spirit stones, as well as a certain number of low-grade spirit stones…"

If this is the case, I can only say that I am indebted to your esteemed Cult Master for his love. I am already a disciple of the Returning Heart Sect and have no intention of going to any other sect."

"Emperor, I have no intention of urging you. You can still slowly consider it."

"Alright, then thank Sect Master Wan on behalf of Zhen. Men!"

Following Jiang Beiran's shout, Wang Shougui quickly walked in from outside.

"Bring Emissary Hong to the side hall for a meal."

"Yes." Wang Shougui bowed.

"Zhen still has some administrative matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."Jiang Beiran stood up and left after he finished speaking.

"Hey!" Although Hong Yaxuan still had a lot to say, she could only sigh helplessly when she saw Jiang Beiran leave. She then followed Wang Shougui to the side hall.

After sending Hong Yaxuan off, Jiang Beiran returned to the royal study and sat down at the dragon table under Muyao's surprised and expected gaze.

Muyao didn't ask any more questions and continued reading.

At night, Jiang Beiran, who had written hundreds of preparatory plans, returned to his bedroom, lit an incense, and lay down comfortably on the dragon bed.

Jiang Beiran slowly closed his eyes as he pondered over what other policies he needed to supplement.

"Swish ~"

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Jiang Beiran's face was suddenly licked by something.

"I already said you have bad breath."

Jiang Beiran said as he slowly opened his eyes. The two-story-tall six-tailed fox occupied more than half of the bedroom and was staring at him with its pair of fox eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran had woken up, the six-tailed fox stuck out its tongue and licked its mouth, revealing an extremely ferocious expression.

"Yes." Jiang Beiran covered his nose and said with disdain,""You're just eating the crystals, so why is there a rancid smell in your mouth?"

Seeing that Jiang BeiBeiran wasn't afraid at all, the Six-Tailed Fox changed its appearance again. Waving its six thick and long tails, it opened its mouth and slowly approached Jiang Beiran.

"What? Are you going to eat me?" Jiang Beiran asked.

The six-tailed fox said proudly," Are you afraid now? Hehehe, human, I want you to pay the price for humiliating me in the past!"

"If I was really afraid that you would eat it, I wouldn't have let you go."Jiang Beiran lifted the blanket and walked to the table. He poured a cup of tea and said to the six-tailed fox,""Aren't you tired standing like that?"

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was not afraid of her at all, the six-tailed fox let out a " hmph ". Although it was a little unhappy, it was mostly happy.

" Woo!" The six-tailed fox turned into a human, looking as beautiful as the first time Jiang Beiran saw her.

"Do you really believe that I won't eat you?"The six-tailed fox hopped to the table, took a sip of the tea, and stretched out her hand.""I want to drink too!"

"If you want to drink, pour it yourself."

"Master is indeed a very special existence ~" The six-tailed fox said as she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup.

"Did you come back to find me for something?"

"Hey! I'm still calling you master. Shouldn't you show some respect?"

"If you really still treat me as your master, you shouldn't have made such an unreasonable request."

"Of course Xiaoxiao treats you as her master. Otherwise, she would have eaten you in one bite just now."The six-tailed fox said obsequiously.

"So why are you looking for me?"

"Hmph, how boring."

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was unmoved by her persuasion, the six-tailed fox took a sip of hot tea and said,""Originally, I came to repay your kindness, but now I don't want to."

"Oh."

"Don't you think it's a pity? I am a great demon! In your little Sheng Kingdom, no matter what wish you make, I can fulfill it for you."

"Zhen never intended for you to repay the favor, so how is it a pity?"

Puffing out two puffs of air from its nostrils, the Six-Tailed Fox felt that it might not be able to resist eating the person in front of it if it continued to chat with him. Hence, it jumped onto the table and stared at Jiang Beiran, asking,""That day…Why are you willing to let me go?"
