Chapter 5 : C5
TL: IDevK11
Editor: Capitano
The middle-aged man in military uniform was, of course, Lord Qian Wuyi, the Lord of this City.
He glanced at Blood Rose and urgently said, “Miss Rose! General Tianwang has graced us with his presence. Why didn’t you inform me? Come in quickly!”
Zuo Chang was slightly taken aback.
Footsteps could be heard, and a man in a suit walked in, holding a plate with a solemn expression.
On that plate was a square-shaped seal.
The General’s Seal.
Although it was the first time Zuo Chang had seen the physical object, he immediately recognized the origin of this seal.
It was entirely jade green, with the shape of a large tortoise carrying a square tripod, exactly the same as the illustration in the game.
In the game, the General’s Seal symbolized power.
The man in military uniform reverently took the large seal.
He kneeled down on one knee, looking at Zuo Chang with emotion and said, “General Tianwang! I knew it, with your extraordinary talent, you wouldn’t simply perish so easily! I’ve been hoping and waiting for you, and finally, you’ve arrived! A year ago, you represented all of humanity and courageously fought against the gods! Even though the result was not satisfactory, I know that it was only a temporary failure… Please accept the General’s Seal and become the Lord of Tianwang City. Lead us into battle once again!”
He suddenly lowered his head, raising the General’s Seal above his head and presenting it to Zuo Chang.
Zuo Chang was a little confused.
Subconsciously, he thought, ‘Is this person my former follower?’
But then, he realized that things might not be so simple.
He didn’t know the current situation, and he wasn’t particularly eager to reclaim the title of ‘General Tianwang’ with all the responsibilities it entailed.
In any case…
Let’s observe the situation first.
Blood Rose was secretly shocked. She didn’t expect Qian Wuyi to be so cunning!
She knew that she had made a mistake earlier.
Seeing General Tianwang all of a sudden, she lost control of her emotions and kneeled down in public, declaring her loyalty—
This, in the eyes of others, would naturally make them aware that Zuo Chang’s identity was extraordinary.
Qian Wuyi was sharp and cunning.
He guessed that Zuo Chang might be the ‘General Tianwang’ and immediately went straight to the point, displaying his enthusiasm as if he warmly welcomed General Tianwang and wanted to serve Zuo Chang like a loyal dog.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have fallen for it by now, right?
But…
‘You fool. Don’t you see who is standing in front of you now? My master. How could he not see through your tricks!’
Blood Rose glanced at Zuo Chang.
Exactly!
Zuo Chang had a perfectly puzzled expression on his face, seemingly a bit unsure.
Ah…
Such excellent acting!
Such flawless performance!
‘General… My admiration and reverence for you have deepened.’
Blood Rose’s whole body felt hot, her legs turned weak, and even her breath became abnormal.
This was normal.
General Tianwang always had this effect, effortlessly striking the chords of her heart.
Every time she realized how exceptional he was, Blood Rose wanted to kneel at his feet, expressing her boundless love and devotion to him like a submissive and obedient creature, devoid of any dignity.
But of course…
Not now.
Blood Rose looked at Qian Wuyi and asked, “Lord Qian, what are you doing?”
Qian Wuyi turned his head and said, “Of course, I am stepping down! Miss Rose, as you know, I am the number one supporter of General Tianwang! Now that General Tianwang is here, wouldn’t it be appropriate for me to hand over the power to him?”
Blood Rose curved her lips and said, “I’m glad you have such thoughts… But Lord Qian, he is not General Tianwang.”
“What? Not him?”
“No.”
Blood Rose shook her head, looking puzzled. “Why do you think he is General Tianwang? He is only at the First realm.”
There were two adventurers present at the scene who were at the Seventh realm, making Zuo Chang’s cultivation realm transparent in comparison.
In fact, the moment Qian Wuyi entered the private room, he felt that Zuo Chang shouldn’t be General Tianwang—the legendary figure who fought against the gods and was revered as the ‘Pinnacle of mortal nature’!
How could he be at the First realm?
But since he was already here, Qian Wuyi decided to play along and go all out with the act.
Without hesitation, he knelt down.
Kneeling didn’t cost anything, so it wasn’t a big deal.
At this moment…
He asked again, “Miss Rose, he is not General Tianwang, so why did you kneel before him?”
Blood Rose was even more surprised. “Kneel? Me?”
The man in the suit who had been silent on the side spoke up, “Miss Rose, I witnessed it with my own eyes. You kneeled before this young man in front of General Tianwang’s statue.”
“Hah!” Blood Rose sneered disdainfully. “Are you sure?”
Well… Actually, he wasn’t sure.
Firstly, it wasn’t something the man in the suit personally witnessed but rather a report from his informant.
Secondly, at that time, Blood Rose was about to ‘execute’ someone, and there was no one within hundreds of meters. The informant only saw it from afar and reported using words like ‘possibly’ and ‘seemingly.’
–Tap! Tap.!
Blood Rose stood up, her high-heeled boots making a crisp sound as they hit the floor.
She pointed at her shiny black leather boots and said, “Is there a possibility that I was shining shoes at that time?”
Well… It was not impossible!
Blood Rose had an excellent figure with long and straight legs.
She always liked wearing leather boots, and the shiny black shoes added a unique charm to her, but it wasn’t easy to squat down.
If she was shining shoes at that time, from a distance, it might have looked like she was kneeling. It could be a plausible explanation.
Zuo Chang looked at Qian Wuyi and the man in the suit and said, “Gentlemen, there’s a misunderstanding. My name is Zuo Chang, and I just immigrated here today. I’m a writer currently working on a biography. The main reason I approached Ms. Blood Rose was to gather material.”
As he spoke, he handed over the notebook that Blood Rose had just given him.
Qian Wuyi reached out and took it, asking, “Material? Does that mean… you’re writing a biography of General Tianwang?”
Zuo Chang smiled and said, “Exactly! This is my notebook where I record my research. You can take a look.”
“Oh… I’ll definitely take a good look at it!”
While Qian Wuyi smiled on the surface, he wasted no time flipping open the notebook.
The notebook was filled with densely written words.
Zuo Chang felt a slight sense of unease, but he chose to trust his old comrade.
He knew Blood Rose well. Her specialty was…
Fabricating evidence!
Blood Rose possessed a powerful skill set that allowed her to fabricate evidence and frame anyone as a ‘counter-revolutionary.’
During their time playing the game, she had helped Zuo Chang bring down numerous political enemies.
Using her skills to forge his identity this time was, in a sense, underutilizing her abilities.
However…
‘With such limited time and such a sudden turn of events, there’s no way she could have had enough time to fabricate a manuscript through conventional means. But ‘fabricating evidence’ is a skill, and I shouldn’t be bound by Earth’s common sense. Perhaps Blood Rose can instantly produce false evidence.’
Rustle.! Rustle.!
The notebook was filled with Zuo Chang’s lively handwriting. He glanced at it and discovered that it was indeed his own handwriting!
The notebook contained a record of some questions and answers. After examining it for a while, Qian Wuyi couldn’t find any loopholes.
He was about to return the notebook when he suddenly noticed a rather sensitive question—
<Has General Tianwang ever favored you?>
The answer below was—
<No. Contrary to rumors, General Tianwang doesn’t engage with women. Although he has many female subordinates, including some beauties, to my knowledge, he has never been involved with any of them. I am still a virgin to this day, and if you want, we can go to a hospital for an examination.>
This… How could this be?!
Qian Wuyi forgot everything else, and the only thing that remained in his mind was this question and answer.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Blood Rose, “Miss Rose… Are you still a virgin?”
Blood Rose looked at him expressionless and asked, “What does that have anything to with you?”
No. No, it’s nothing.
Qian Wuyi looked at Blood Rose’s perfect figure and praised, “(General Tianwang is truly exceptional! Hehe…) It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I won’t disturb you anymore, Miss Rose. We’ll see each other tomorrow.”
He glanced at Blood Rose a few more times with lustful eyes before leaving with the man in the suit.
The door of the private room was closed, and Zuo Chang sat down.
He looked at the handwriting in the notebook and said, “Your skills haven’t declined. Your ‘fabrication of evidence’ is still so remarkable.”
Blood Rose smiled self-contentedly and said, “General, it’s all thanks to your excellent training.”
“It’s not just about having good skills, but also clever thinking.” Zuo Chang pointed to the word ‘virgin’ and looked up at her. “You knew that Lord Qian just now had inappropriate thoughts about you, so you deliberately wrote this question and answer. Everything went as you planned. After learning that you’re a virgin, Lord Qian’s impure thoughts overpowered his rationality, and he easily let us go.”
Blood Rose observed his expression and sensed a hint of displeasure in Zuo Chang’s tone.
She straightened up and said, “It’s just a trivial trick. He is a complete fool. He doesn’t understand that if he wants to have me, he shouldn’t try to flatter me but rather please you.”
“Why?”
“Because… of course…”
Blood Rose raised her hand and gently pressed it against her chest.
“I belong to you entirely, from head to toe, from appearance to soul. I have no right to control my own body. Only you can decide how to use it.”
“…”
Don’t say such things with a smile!
It’s really heavy!
