Yanqing didn't know how to describe the other person's appearance, only that he had two eyes about the size of light bulbs, a blinking indicator light on his chest, and two horn-like protrusions on his head!
Yanqing was about to continue his attack when the fellow in front of him suddenly raised his arm and struck a pose Yanqing didn't understand!
"Zero Beam!"
As Selene's voice fell, a beam of energy shot towards Yanqing!
Yanqing's pupils instantly widened! He quickly brought his sword across his chest, adopting a defensive stance to block the ray!
But as soon as the beam touched Yanqing's blade, Yanqing felt he couldn't parry it, and his expression became strained!
Seeing this, Selene also stopped her attack. She didn't want to accidentally injure Yanqing; after all, she had no grudge against him, and injuring him would be bad!
As Selene withdrew her hand, Yanqing's body went limp! He knelt on one knee, his longsword piercing the ground!
Yanqing gasped for breath, looking at Selene in front of him with some fear!
If the other party hadn't held back just now, he would surely have met his end here today! The power of that beam could completely kill him!
"Tha..."
Yanqing was about to thank the other party for holding back, but he was interrupted!
"To beat me! You're still twenty thousand years too early!"
Saying this, Selene even made a rather chuunibyou 'two' gesture!
Yanqing: ...I have a Xianzhou swear word that I don't know whether to say or not!
[Host, it is recommended that you run away quickly. Your power of Elation is almost used up, and you don't want your true identity to be discovered, do you?]
Selene: ...Helpless, Selene had no choice but to adopt Ultraman's classic exit move! She leaped up, soaring into the sky!
Seeing the other party fly away, Yanqing somehow felt relieved.
But soon, Yanqing felt a bit unwilling.
"Damn it! If I were stronger, maybe I could have beaten that guy!"
Yanqing gripped the sword in his hand, secretly vowing that after returning this time, he would practice sword fighting with the General every day to improve his strength!
At the same time, Yanqing also thought to himself: I didn't expect that my proactive attack this time almost led to my introversion in the next life! Just a little bit! I would have become my mother's brother who passed away—no uncle left!
It's better not to be so impulsive in the future!
In a certain corner, Qingque, who had watched the whole process, felt that her understanding of this world had changed slightly... Not long after, Fu Xuan returned to the Divination Commission.
To prevent others from discovering that she, as the Grand Diviner, had secretly skipped work to slack off, Fu Xuan climbed over the wall to get back.
Upon returning to her office, the first thing Fu Xuan did was to find Bai Ling and ask about what had just happened at the Divination Commission.
"This... Grand Diviner, something strange did happen at the Divination Commission, but it occurred near the main entrance. By the time I rushed over, it was already over."
Bai Ling explained.
"The main entrance? You can go back to your work; I already know."
Fu Xuan waved her hand, took out her jade amulet, and sent messages to Selene and Qingque, asking what had just happened.
However, their answers were not consistent!
Qingque, as someone who witnessed the entire process, recounted the events truthfully!
However, she did not see Selene summon a toilet or disguise herself as Jing Yuan, because at that time she was still dealing with Mara-Struck Soldiers.
Selene's answer was that a large group of Mara-Struck Soldiers had arrived, and she had run away at the first opportunity!
When Fu Xuan saw Selene's answer, she couldn't help but frown.
Based on her understanding of Selene, this fellow should have been watching the fun from the sidelines! How could she have run away?
Previously, when she sent Qingque to deal with the Ape God, this fellow had secretly followed along! One must know that the Ape God was much stronger than Mara-Struck Soldiers!
So... Fu Xuan: Is this matter related to you?
Stupid Kitty: Huh? How could it be! I wasn't even there at the time!
After sending the message, Selene couldn't help but be surprised!
[Strange?! Why did Fu Xuan directly guess it was me? It shouldn't be! Could it be that when I was disguised? Someone else saw me?!]
Little did she know, all these little thoughts in her mind were heard by Fu Xuan!
"Hmph! I know you too well, Little one! Hmph! How dare you deceive me! You'll get what's coming to you tonight!"
Listening to Selene's inner thoughts, Fu Xuan unconsciously puffed out her cheeks. She was a bit unhappy because Selene had lied to her again!
"But? This fellow just mentioned disguise? Is this her special ability?"
"Then doesn't that mean? The strange Jing Yuan that Qingque mentioned earlier was Selene disguised?"
"But why? Disguise as someone else? And still be able to use their abilities? If that's really the case, Selene's strength is not to be underestimated!"
Fu Xuan thought this, and the more she thought, the more alarmed she became! What exactly did she pick up and bring home?!
However, Fu Xuan then thought, such a powerful fellow, isn't she still susceptible to me secretly listening to her thoughts? And she doesn't even know it! Doesn't that mean? I am more powerful than her, aren't I?!
"No, no! Tomorrow I'll go talk to Jing Yuan! And make him abdicate and yield his position!"
Fu Xuan murmured.
And as soon as her voice fell, there was a knock on the office door.
Fu Xuan thought the person was Selene and directly said, "Come in!"
"Fu Xuan / Minister Fu? What did you just say you wanted me to do?"
Jing Yuan walked in from outside the door, asking with a faint smile on his lips.
"Oh? It's the General? I was just saying that I want the General to pass on his position to me!"
Fu Xuan said, arms crossed, in a tone that suggested it was only natural.
"Oh my! Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, don't worry! I will recommend you to be the next Divine Foresight General!"
Jing Yuan said casually.
"General! This is the one hundred and twenty-third time you've said that!"
Fu Xuan said, looking up at Jing Yuan with some anger.
"Oh? Is that so? Then perhaps there will be a one hundred and twenty-fourth time!"
Jing Yuan also crossed his arms, looking down at Fu Xuan as he spoke.
Fu Xuan: ... "Hmph!"
Fu Xuan lowered her head and took a deep breath, as if suppressing her inner rage!
Then she suddenly looked up, staring at Jing Yuan, and said very seriously:
"General! You bad guy!"
Jing Yuan: ... For some reason, the corners of Jing Yuan's mouth curved up even more...
Jing Yuan's purpose in coming to the Divination Commission was actually to inquire about what had just happened.
But on his way past the Divination Commission's main entrance, he met Yanqing, who was resting, and from Yanqing's mouth, Jing Yuan got the answer he wanted.
However, thinking that he had already come all this way, he might as well go see Fu Xuan, as he still had something to give her!
"Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, these are some important documents that, as the General, need to be handled! Now I'm giving them to you! Try to deal with them! If you don't know how, you can ask me!"
Jing Yuan said, and a stack of papers appeared in his hand, which he placed on Fu Xuan's desk!
Hearing this, Fu Xuan's eyes instantly lit up!
"Are these important documents?! The General is actually willing to entrust these to me to handle?!"
