Chapter 1523

~7 min read 1,290 words

My dear Director, do you have some incredible misunderstanding about me?

Looking at the Red-haired Director's expression of "It's okay, tell me, I can bear it," Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, then he complained somewhat speechlessly:

"The Witch Kingdom is doing fine! Director, why do you make it sound like I destroy everything I see!"

"Mm-hm."

After responding noncommittally, the Red-haired Director raised her hand and pointed to the "ruins" behind Li Ang.

"Behind you is the ritual platform for the Witch King's ritual, right? That's a grand ritual that the Witch Kingdom only has once every hundred years, how did it become like this?"

"Uh..."

Li Ang looked back upon hearing this, and found that his "call background" was indeed a bit of a mess, then couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

"I dismantled the platform just now, but there was a reason for it..."

"Mm-hm, I believe you."

After responding without any sincerity, the Red-haired Director sighed and said:

"The Great Witch King is gone, right?"

"Indeed... but she died of old age, she would have left soon even if I hadn't come."

"And then? Her daughter inherited the throne, right?"

"Right, otherwise who would the position be given to?"

"And then, you and that Princess Caitlin... Mm... Queen Caitlin, do you have a good relationship? And are rumors starting to spread?"

"Uh..."

Looking back at the members of various societies who were being taken away by the guards, looking at their actions and expressions of pointing at him but daring to be angry but not daring to speak, Li Ang was silent for a moment, then tried his best to defend:

"We... have been through life and death together for several days, so we definitely have some friendship. As for the rumors, it's mainly because she came to find me after taking a bath last night, and many people saw her on the way, but we actually had serious business..."

"Alright, let's put the rumors aside for now."

The Red-haired Director sighed:

"I ask you, after she sits firmly on the throne, will she immediately issue an order to lean toward you and that Queen Veronica? And launch all-around cooperation with your kingdom?"

"This... our kingdom has grain and minerals, and also the technology of the Krolok Kingdom, so it was already a very good partner. Plus the friendship between Caitlin and me, so... it seems quite normal for Caitlin to make such a decision?"

Bah! Normal my ass!

Looking at Li Ang, who countered every sentence she said and pretended to be extremely innocent and even a bit aggrieved, the Red-haired Director couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If it were really normal, how come all the good things are taken by you again? You bastard seem to have that obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every time you go on an outside assignment, you must desperately scrape things into that Queen Veronica's pocket.

You went on three outside assignments and changed three kings. Counting the time the Iron-skinned Princess attacked the Wang Gong, you have already replaced four kings of the Twelve Kingdoms! And all the ones replaced are Queens! You really are... If these are all coincidences, then I'll gnaw all the wine bottles in the warehouse!

"Whatever you say!"

After glaring at Li Ang angrily, the Red-haired Director supported her forehead with her hand and sighed:

"After all, it was an attack by a Pillar God. It's already something worth rejoicing that you could come back safely. Compared to you being able to survive the attack of a Pillar God, these are all small matters... By the way, how did you repel Wuyou Zhishu?"

"I caught her."

"Oh, so it was catching... What did you say?"

"I caught her."

After repeating what he just said, Li Ang moved the small mirror to an angle, aimed it at the three-headed black dog lying on the ground humming because of indigestion, and pointed to the dog's belly: "I can't kill Wuyou Zhishu yet, so I can only think of a way to lock her up first. However, although I caught her, the biggest credit should go to Matthew. If it weren't for him carrying Wuyou Zhishu's physical body back..."

"You caught a Pillar God?!?!?!"

Faced with the overly shocking news, even the Red-haired Director, who had been as steady as an old... cleaner for many years, still felt her brain buzz, and couldn't even listen to what Li Ang was saying, repeating with shock in her eyes:

"You not only repelled Wuyou Zhishu, but also caught her?"

"It was Matthew and I who caught her together, and Matthew might even be more critical."

After correcting the Red-haired Director's statement, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Director, how is the injury the Taurus Director suffered when ascending the palace? Is it healed?"

"About half healed... Why do you ask this? Do you want to ask her to help forge anomalous objects?"

"Yes."

Li Ang nodded, his expression somewhat hesitant:

"Besides Wuyou Zhishu, I also harvested a lot of precious materials this time, it's just that the quantity is a bit large. If I want to forge them as a set, I'm worried that the Taurus Director won't be able to withstand the consumption of using secret arts with high intensity."

"Don't worry, it won't come to that."

The Red-haired Director shook her head upon hearing this, and explained with some amusement:

"Although the Taurus Director was not lightly injured at the time, and her soul and body are not fully synchronized now, she is still a Director after all. Even if you catch seven or eight True Gods and send them over together, she can still handle it."

"But I caught nearly forty True Gods, she might not be able to bear it, right?"

"Ah?!"

"To be precise, it's the physical bodies of thirty-nine True Gods killed, but the souls of fifteen of them were released, so it's twenty-four complete True Gods, and the physical bodies left behind after fifteen True Gods descended."

"Ah?!?!?!"

"There is also an entire execution stage where thirty-nine True Gods died, thirty-nine wooden stakes stained with god blood, a sniper rifle that killed thirty-nine True Gods, and a ritual carpet soaked in god blood... These should be a set, can the Taurus Director forge them all together?"

"Ah?!?!?!"

Hmph! Let you randomly pin black pots on me!

Looking at the Director in the mirror who had widened her eyes and couldn't say anything except "Ah," Li Ang, who was secretly happy, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then said with surprise:

"Director? Why have you been keeping your mouth open and not closing it? Is the temperature too high and you have to rely on your tongue to dissipate heat?"

"..."

Bah! You're the dog!

After hearing the meaning in Li Ang's words, the Red-haired Director hurriedly closed her mouth, then glared at him angrily.

"You scared me! Don't make jokes like this in the future, you said it so vividly, I thought you really killed so many True Gods!"

"I wasn't joking, what I just said was all true."

"Mm-hm, all true, the King-Slaughtering Society was wiped out by you alone, our Li Ang is really amazing~"

After learning Li Ang's appearance just now and sarcastically mocking him back, the Red-haired Director, whose mood had calmed down again, let out a long breath, unscrewed a bottle of wine, took a gulp, and then said with some relief:

"Anyway, it's great that you're fine. You haven't made a sound for more than a week, and the wine I bought was a bit hard to drink... Wait, the Taurus Director seems to have something to say."
