In the pitch-black alley, the mysterious black cloak merged with the darkness, and beneath the cloak was the same pure black tight-fitting suit. A little light only outlined a curled corner of a mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was this corner of the mouth that caused Miyoshi Ryota to suddenly lose his strength. The wounds left from fighting the priests earlier transmitted a sharp pain, causing him to almost collapse to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand pressing on his shoulder grabbed him, lifted him up, and then a warm current poured into his body from his shoulder, traveled a circle, and after a burst of numbness and itching on his body, the wounds suddenly healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the excited state of mind brought by the fierce battle and watching Nanao being abducted, they were all smoothed out together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lu Wushuang suddenly took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... have come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Little Lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao smiled and patted her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Waiting for me for a few days, how did you end up in this state? Nanao, did you lose her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lu Wushuang was speechless for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, since Li Miao had already arrived, there was no need to worry about pursuers, ambushes, or Shinto anymore. She could slowly sort out her thoughts and explain to Li Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, it is like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nanao is now in the hands of Shinto, but it was something I actively facilitated. The reason is that tonight I met—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she reached the main point, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the alley entrance. First, a wooden clog was revealed, then the pure white priest's robe, and finally a seamless white mask, as well as a drawn crimson guardless sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinto's pursuers had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, they were not the kind of goods Lu Lu Wushuang had been slaughtering earlier—because he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Corpses, masks, remove.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone was stiff, with only fragmented nouns and verbs forming an incomplete question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for someone like Li Miao who only learned a half-baked East Island language, this kind of sentence that was slow as death and had no connecting words sounded just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was saying: The masks on the corpses were removed, what did you see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lu Wushuang just wanted to take over the conversation, but Li Miao smiled, reached out to stop her, walked to the front, and gathered his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... Idiot (Baka Yarou).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left Lu Lu Wushuang stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it; Li Miao's East Island language was only half-baked from Ji Ji Tianrui, and most of it was cursing. If he wanted to show off, he could only squeeze out this one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, I've embarrassed myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he reached out from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, let's just do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Shhh-la!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His protective Qi rolled out, directly wrapping around the Shinto priest from the waist, and rolled him toward Li Miao like he was flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priest was in mid-air and finally reacted. The guardless sword was drawn, and he slashed several times at the protective Qi wrapping his waist and abdomen. Amidst the sparks, he actually managed to slash out a gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his bones and muscles rang and shifted, using a method similar to \"bone-shrinking technique\" to break free from the restraint of the protective Qi. After landing, he flashed several times to dodge the pursuing protective Qi and retreated to the alley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through the mask and land on Li Miao's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li! Miao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said hoarsely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized Li Miao's [Myriad Phenomena].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Miao landed on the East Island until now, he had successively broken through Hirado Castle, Izumo Taisha, Enryaku-ji, and Hachiman Shrine, having already turned over Shinto's family assets. Shinto had long since had the heart to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing trap at Enryaku-ji just didn't succeed. Shinto's Heavenly Humans must have already known Li Miao's methods and characteristics clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that from the moment Li Miao arrived in Kyoto, everything was already an open hand. The killing intent of the three parties—Shinto, Li Miao, and Ji Ji Tianrui—had already been placed on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't shout this official's name like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao tucked his hands into his sleeves and said with narrowed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's impolite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask you something, where is the Emperor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words fell, the guardless sword was already in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>",753,"2026-06-17T21:54:32.236Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9afab236dc67c3f01d1ca43ad665370cd4c51bb7841aa282d490066401219263","the-imperial-hounds-of-the-eight-hour-workday-chapter-593","the-imperial-hounds-of-the-eight-hour-workday-chapter-591",647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-imperial-hound-on-an-eight-hour-shift-cover.jpg"]
