Chapter 1181: The System

By the side of one's bed, how can one allow others to sleep soundly?

Su Yang does not allow pests to exist within his jurisdiction.

He is determined to eradicate the Shoushen Sect!

When Su Yang assisted the Western Military Department in eliminating the Shoushen Sect, the once dominant sect immediately surrendered and became extremely low-key.

Moreover, after Su Yang reported to the General Military Department that the "Beast God" might exist, the General Military Department suspended its large-scale purge of the Shoushen Sect.

The Northern Military Department, where Su Yang was stationed, moved slightly slower back then; although it had launched operations against the Shoushen Sect, it failed to deliver a crushing blow to the local branch.

During the years Su Yang spent away from the southwest, the Shoushen Sect underwent a period of recuperation and gradually regained some strength.

Perhaps the skies cleared and the rain stopped, so they felt they could rise again.

Recently, they have begun stirring again.

In the west, thanks to Su Yang's help, the Shoushen Sect's recovery has been painfully slow; but here in the north, the fundamentals are far less favorable.

After discovering the Shoushen Sect aggressively spreading its doctrine, recruiting followers, and capturing cities, Xue Xue Qiancheng flew into a rage, disregarding his aged body, and led a force to annihilate the sect—only to be ambushed by several of its senior elders and Suffered heavy losses.

Su Yang is waiting for Si Derong's intelligence.

Over the next few days, Liu Mengyun, accompanied by Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na, began formally assuming command of Xue Xue Qiancheng's authority.

Even though Su Yang and his group were newcomers, no one dared to defy them or refuse to cooperate with Liu Mengyun's work!

With the cooperation of Lu Yang and Xue Xue Qiancheng, Liu Mengyun and Sovereign Jiazi worked together and straightened out the Northern Military Department's operations in just three days.

Liu Mengyun's abilities, of course, need no elaboration.

Since childhood, she had assisted her father in managing the Zhenbao Pavilion and spent years helping Su Yang handle various affairs—she is the type who rose from the grassroots ranks.

Her experience and methods in handling affairs surpass Su Yang's.

As for Sovereign Jiazi, her innate talent for administration is nearly equal to Liu Mengyun's.

After all, she is exceptionally gifted and once served as the monarch of an island nation.

Xia Na is still young, but her turbulent life has made her more mature than many of her peers; though her abilities may not match Liu Mengyun's or Sovereign Jiazi's, she can still handle simple errands and run errands for the two sisters.

Just as the Northern Military Department stabilized, Su Yang found himself with nothing to do.

The spacious office contained only Su Yang and Mo Yi.

In the corner of the office stood a black leather chair matching the black solid wood desk.

Su Yang sat in a Taishi chair, his legs propped up on the desk, utterly relaxed and at ease.

If Mo Yi hadn't forcibly squeezed onto the Taishi chair beside him, he would have been even more comfortable.

The Taishi chair was indeed large, but even with one person petite and space-conscious, two people made it feel cramped.

Su Yang shifted his buttocks slightly backward to make more room, closed his eyes, and said to the system:

"System, I'm going to strike against the Shoushen Sect in my jurisdiction!"

"Hmm!"

"Didn't you hear me? I'm going to kill! I'm going to crush the Shoushen Sect!"

"Oh!"

"What are you 'oh'ing for?!" Su Yang set down his teacup and said quietly, "Hurry up with the process and assign me a task!"

Correct, after becoming General of the Northern Military Department, Su Yang's power expanded rapidly—he now commanded tens of thousands of Beast Tamer troops and over a hundred thousand regular soldiers.

As the top leader of the Northern Military Department, he held immense power and great autonomy.

In short, he could target anyone he wished.

Whether it was the Qizhen Pavilion, some faction, or a family—if he wanted to, and could find a valid reason, he could act!

In most cases, he didn't even need to report to the General Military Department!

Such power was enough to intoxicate the vast majority.

But Su Yang was different; upon learning he would lead the Northern Military Department, his first thought was: could he now assign tasks to himself?

When he was in the southwestern and southeastern military departments, whenever the department launched major operations, Su Yang always received a system task if he participated.

But as a subordinate, Su Yang could only passively accept tasks or actively compete for them—he inevitably missed many tasks.

Because those tasks were assigned by higher-ups to others!

Now, in the Northern Military Department, Su Yang held enormous influence over task allocation.

Assigning tasks to himself? Just thinking about it felt… delicious.

"Ding~ Task released: Suppress the Shoushen Sect Uprising in the North!"

"Ding~ Task reward: Three talent points awarded!"

Hearing the "ding," Su Yang knew he was right.

The system was meant to be used this way.

But when he heard the task reward, he could no longer sit still.

He stood up from the Taishi chair; Mo Yi, lying beside him, looked at him in confusion, but Su Yang temporarily ignored her, strode to the window, and asked irritably: "System, this reward is half-hearted!"

"This task was auto-generated after system evaluation," the system replied helplessly. "Perhaps the task assignment system judged this mission as low-difficulty for you."

"Low-difficulty? Even low-difficulty takes time!"

Last time, in the southwest, eliminating the Tianxing Society's branch was also low-difficulty.

But the system's reward then was quite generous.

The Shoushen Sect in the north is far more disruptive than the Tianxing Society; it even killed Xue Xue Qiancheng, proving its strength exceeds that of the southeastern Tianxing Society branch—so why is the reward so much lower than the reward for wiping out the Tianxing Society branch?

This makes no sense!

System: "Unclear! Don't know! I don't understand!"

"Damn!"

Su Yang couldn't help but curse.

He sat back down in the grandmaster chair, picked up the fruit juice, and took a fierce gulp for himself.

Mo Yi pressed against Su Yang's chest and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong? Was it someone who made you angry?"

"It's nothing!"

"Tell me! I'll help you kill him! Make him into a toy!"

"Forget it!"

The system really is badass!

Su Yang decided to swallow this anger for the time being.

"Also, isn't there a sofa across the way? Why do you insist on squeezing in with me... the chair is only this big, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Being this close to Mo Yi, Su Yang always felt very uncomfortable.

Mo Yi had grown to one meter sixty tall, folded up her wings, and was no different from an ordinary person.

An absolutely gorgeous appearance, paired with a dangerous and sinister temperament, and the occasional reveal of attachment and submission toward Su Yang...

Even someone like Su Yang, an old cadre, would find it hard to withstand this kind of test!

If he hadn't already married and had Liu Mengyun's help, Su Yang was afraid that one day he wouldn't be able to hold back and do something beastly!

"Then why don't you feel uncomfortable squeezing into one bed with Liu Mengyun?"
