Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 41 Lu Nador's Demise
Outside the palace, on the grass, Lu Naduo sat in a chair with his eyes closed, listening to music.
"Lu Naduo!" A woman strode over, her eyes filled with anger. "The royal family's sixth pastoral district has always been mine. What exactly do you mean by deliberately blocking the review?"
Lu Naduo, his eyes still closed, frowned slightly and opened them, saying, "Couldn't you wait until I finished the song? You're really ruining the mood."
The woman's face was icy cold. "I've been on this planet of yours for three days already."
"Only three days, and you're already so anxious?" Lu Naduo looked at the woman.
Before his elder brother had risen to prominence, their branch of the family had declined, and he hadn't even been qualified to stand before this woman. But things were different now!
"Speak, what exactly do you want?" the woman said coldly, looking at Lu Naduo.
"Aunt Mo Yun," Lu Naduo said with a smile, "I reiterate once again that the royal family's sixth pastoral district has always been a royal asset, not your personal asset. You've only ever leased this pastoral district."
"Since the day I was born, the sixth pastoral district has been mine," the woman said angrily.
"But... a thousand years have passed, and the lease has expired," Lu Naduo said, smiling at the woman. "I think the rent you're paying is too low, not worthy of the value of the sixth pastoral district. I can't sign off on it!"
"You want to raise the rent?" the woman asked, looking at him.
"The price was too low back then because your grandfather was a tenth-order Source lifeform, and the royal family favored you," Lu Naduo said, shaking his head. "But you know the actual value of the sixth pastoral district very well. You want to renew the lease for another thousand years? I think the minimum rent should be increased a hundredfold."
"Increased a hundredfold?" The woman's expression changed.
The harvest from operating the sixth pastoral district for a thousand years might not even be enough to cover the rent.
"I think this rent price is very suitable," Lu Naduo said matter-of-factly. "After all, your grandfather is already dead."
The woman was annoyed. "Lu Naduo, you're going too far. If you push me too hard, I will definitely file a joint impeachment against you."
"Impeach me? My brother is the emperor, how can you impeach me?" Lu Naduo sneered. "As for going too far? Aunt Mo Yun, you can ask around. Considering you're also a member of the royal family, I've already been very kind to you."
The woman nodded. "I know your reputation, Lu Naduo. You are so greedy and ruthless that one day, it will backfire on you!"
"Backfire? Hahaha, I'm so scared!" Lu Naduo laughed. "I am the Minister of Finance of the Yuan Star Civilization, I am the emperor's younger brother, who will backfire on me? Who can backfire on me? The little bit of evidence you can gather can't shake my position."
The woman was furious.
"Aunt Mo Yun, I'm not stupid, I understand the law very well," Lu Naduo said with a bright smile. "My think tank can eliminate all possible dangers. You can't bring me down."
"Good, very good." The woman turned and left.
"Hahaha..." Lu Naduo laughed even more heartily.
Suddenly—
A figure appeared in the high sky above the grass. Lu Naduo, who had been laughing so heartily, suddenly widened his eyes, and his laughter stopped abruptly! He looked in disbelief at the black-robed figure that had appeared in the high sky.
Absolutely black robes, cold eyes, he looked down upon the world from above.
An invisible aura made all the surrounding creatures feel inexplicably terrified.
"Xu Jingming!!!" Lu Naduo couldn't believe it. This was his private planet, with a very high security defense system. From a legal point of view, without his permission, no one was allowed to trespass on his planet.
Xu Jingming had entered his planet directly without any notice, and had come so close to him, making Lu Naduo feel fear.
"Guardian!" Lu Naduo's voice became shrill as he shouted urgently.
The woman, Mo Yun, who had been walking away in anger, as well as the surrounding butlers and guards, all saw the cold, black-robed man in the high sky. They were all of extraordinary status, and they recognized the identity of the person who had come in an instant, and they couldn't help but tremble.
"Boom." Among the guards, there was a guardian! This was a civilization-level intelligent robot worth 1 trillion cosmic coins.
As soon as this guardian moved, it realized that time and space had been completely suppressed and sealed. The guardian's movement speed became difficult, barely
Rushing out more than ten meters away, as Xu Jingming's gaze fell on it, this guardian completely solidified, motionless.
The guardian, comparable to a newly advanced ninth-order Source lifeform, had no power to resist in front of Xu Jingming.
"It's Wu Ming!"
"Master Wu Ming!"
Whether it was the woman Mo Yun, or the butlers and guards, they were all extremely nervous and didn't dare to get involved at all.
The highest status in the entire human race of the universe ultimately belonged to the evolutionaries. As for some powerful children, their power also stemmed from the evolutionaries. Just like Lu Naduo's power, it also stemmed from his elder brother, Lu Naxing, who served as the emperor of the Yuan Star Civilization.
And Wu Ming at this moment was the most dazzling evolutionary of the contemporary era! His dazzling degree even surpassed Lu Naxing.
In the eyes of the three Supreme Realm existences, Xu Jingming's importance was probably even higher than that of Lu Naxing, who was the emperor.
"Whoosh."
Xu Jingming slowly landed on the grass, his eyes without a trace of fluctuation, looking at Lu Naduo.
Lu Naduo's heart was filled with fear and unease. At this moment, he could only squeeze out a smile: "Master Wu Ming, you scared me. This is my private planet, and it is also equipped with a security defense system. Someone actually broke through the defense system and came directly to my vicinity. I thought I had encountered an enemy."
"You have indeed encountered an enemy," Xu Jingming nodded. "I am your enemy."
"Ha..." Lu Naduo's face turned pale, but he was still smiling. "Hahaha, what a joke. Master Wu Ming is the shining star of our cosmic human race. I have always admired Master Wu Ming immensely. How could Master Wu Ming be my enemy?"
Everyone else around was quiet, not daring to say a word, because the oppressive force brought by this black-robed man, Wu Ming, was too terrifying.
"Lu Naduo."
Xu Jingming nodded. "There's no need to doubt or have any illusions. I'm here today to kill you."
Lu Naduo's face immediately lost all color.
"No, no... you must be joking," Lu Naduo said with a forced laugh. "Moreover, I am a member of the Yuan Star Civilization's royal family, and I am protected by the laws of the Cosmic Human Alliance. Master Wu Ming, you have no right to kill me at all."
"Killing you is a bit of overstepping my authority," Xu Jingming nodded. "I guess I'll have a few tens of millions of merits deducted as punishment."
Lu Naduo's face turned pale.
It really was...
Xu Jingming wasn't carrying out a large-scale massacre. Merely killing Lu Naduo, who wasn't even a Source lifeform, and deducting tens of millions of merits was already because of his status as a member of the royal family.
"It's not worth it. It's not worth deducting tens of millions of merits to kill me," Lu Naduo said with a smile. "Master Wu Ming, how can you spare me? Just say it, I will definitely satisfy Master Wu Ming."
Xu Jingming looked at him.
Lu Naduo became even more desperate. He couldn't feel a glimmer of hope. He immediately said, "My brother is Lu Naxing, the emperor of the Yuan Star Civilization. I am his only brother! If you kill me, he won't let you go. The Yuan Star Civilization's royal family won't let you go either. This is an offense to the entire royal family."
"Contact your brother," Xu Jingming said.
"What?" Lu Naduo was stunned.
"Now, contact your brother Lu Naxing," Xu Jingming said.
Lu Naduo couldn't believe it. "You want me to contact the outside world?" The surrounding time and space had been suppressed. Lu Naduo thought that until his death, he wouldn't be able to contact the outside world.
"This Xu Jingming is really crazy. He wants to kill me, but he still wants me to contact the outside world? He's really crazy." Although Lu Naduo thought the other party was crazy, he still immediately clicked on the light screen.
Xu Jingming watched all of this without stopping him.
"Imitation method, imitate the 'Void Abyss Master'."
"The Void Abyss Master's nature is unruly and unrestrained. There's no need to be secretive about killing a Lu Naduo, it must be unrestrained and blatant, it must be upright and aboveboard!"
Xu Jingming thought to himself.
The surrounding woman, Mo Yun, butlers, and guards were all somewhat bewildered as they watched this scene, watching Lu Naduo open the light screen and contact the emperor, Lu Naxing.
"Brother, Xu Jingming wants to kill me, he wants to kill me." As soon as Lu Naduo connected, he immediately said anxiously.
"Save me, save me."
"What?" Lu Naxing was somewhat dumbfounded.
Xu Jingming also walked to the side of the light screen and looked at Lu Naxing: "Lu Naxing."
"Junior Brother Wu Ming." Lu Naxing revealed a smile. "What's going on? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"There is no misunderstanding."
Xu Jingming shook his head. "Lu Naduo has committed countless evils over the years. Don't you, as his elder brother, know about it? After taking on the role of Minister of Finance of the Yuan Star Civilization, he has committed even more heinous crimes. As an enforcer, I have the right to sentence him... to death! I will synchronize his criminal data to the virtual world network."
"You have no right, he is a member of the royal family, you have no right to kill him." Lu Naxing was agitated. "Junior Brother Wu Ming, don't mess around."
This madman, he'll kill someone just because he says so?
"I didn't commit any crimes. I don't know about it, it was all done by my subordinates." Lu Naduo also defended himself.
Xu Jingming looked at Lu Naxing in the light screen: "I had him contact you, so that you can see it with your own eyes, so that you can learn a lesson! He is your brother, he relies on your power! You must also bear half of the crimes he has committed!"
"This time, I'm only killing your brother, killing this chief culprit! If you continue to dote on your confidants and allow them to commit evils at will, then you prove that you are not worthy to be the emperor of the Yuan Star Civilization!"
"When the time comes, I will publicly execute you, just like I am killing your brother today," Xu Jingming said coldly, looking at Lu Naxing.
Lu Naxing in the light screen was stunned.
Kill me?
Kill me, the emperor? The coldness and madness in Xu Jingming's eyes made Lu Naxing feel that this person was not joking.
"No, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong." Lu Naduo said urgently.
Xu Jingming turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes filled with a cold light. Under the gaze of those eyes, Lu Naduo's entire person was directly annihilated into nothingness, not even leaving behind a trace of scum.
Lu Naduo was dead, completely annihilated just like that!
The onlookers, the woman, the butlers, and the guards, all stared blankly at the scene.
The light screen was also dissipating.
As it dissipated, Lu Naxing still couldn't believe all of this. He saw Xu Jingming's cold eyes sweep over him.
Even through the light screen.
"Ahhh." Lu Naxing felt a terrifying darkness impacting his brain, and a great fear arose.
If they were face to face, Lu Naxing would probably not be far from death with that one glance from Xu Jingming.
"He dares to kill me, this madman, he means what he says." At this moment, Lu Naxing was certain that Xu Jingming was not intimidating him. If he continued to condone his confidants' reckless wrongdoing, the next person to be publicly killed would be him, Lu Naxing.
"Madman, he's really a madman." Lu Naxing murmured, "Publicly killing a member of the royal family, killing the Minister of Finance of the Yuan Star Civilization. I can't afford to offend you, but the Yuanchu Research Institute and the Cosmic Human Alliance will definitely hold you accountable."
Lu Naxing was very aggrieved.
He was the emperor of the Yuan Star Civilization, but he had no right to manage the Source lifeforms of other cosmic domains, let alone Xu Jingming.
Legally speaking, only the Yuanchu Research Institute and the Cosmic Human Alliance had the right to punish Xu Jingming.
