Chapter 551: Chapter 565: Two Slaps

In this city, everyone knows whose orders should be heeded the most.

The General’s power has far surpassed that of the City Lord Mansion.

Thus, the people from the City Lord Mansion cannot hold their heads up in front of the General.

It is said that if the lord is disgraced, his servants should die, but in such a situation, no one dares to stand up to help Li Shan.

“Haha, you all deserve to die.” Li Shan coldly gazed at her Guards.

When she was being insulted, not a single person dared to come forward to help her.

It’s ironic that these people receive a salary from the City Lord Mansion every month, yet they don’t lift a finger to help.

“Miss, it is said that this suspicious person has stolen something from the General, so please cooperate with them.”

Li Shan’s Guards exchanged a glance and spoke.

“Let them in.” Just as Li Shan was about to lose her temper, she heard Mu Can’s voice in her ears, which she didn’t have to worry about being intercepted in this world without Cultivators.

“Haha, then you may enter.” Li Shan turned and walked into the room.

The General’s subordinates didn’t know what Li Shan’s intentions were, but in their minds, the lady of the City Lord Mansion was not someone easy to provoke.

Looking at each other, they all knew the General’s temper; even if the City Lord himself was here today, they still had to search, let alone with Li Shan agreeing to let them in.

A group of people followed her into Li Shan’s boudoir, which was only so big; they walked around but found nothing.

“Thank you for your cooperation, Miss.” The Commander of the soldiers saluted Li Shan, since they didn’t find anything, they had no reason to stay.

“Wait a moment.” Just as Li Shan was about to let them leave, she heard Mu Can’s voice again.

“Are you just going to leave?” Although she didn’t know what Mu Can meant, she still looked at the soldiers and coldly spoke.

Whatever, she could just call over the City Lord to back her up if it comes to that, even though the City Lord Mansion’s power is not as great as the General’s.

But for now, the City Lord Mansion still controls the entire city, which is why the General dares not touch the City Lord’s lineage.

“Oh? Does Miss have any other orders?” The Commander arched his hands, his face holding a mocking expression as he looked at Li Shan.

“Beat him.” Mu Can’s voice rang out again, but this time, a powerful force surged into Li Shan’s body.

Li Shan felt her body brim with power, her strength instantly broke through from the Wuwei Realm to the All Things Realm, even reaching the Peak of the All Things Realm before it stopped.

Slap!

Being the City Lord’s daughter, weighing the situation is the most basic quality; feeling the change in her body, Li Shan followed Mu Can’s words.

She directly slapped the Commander’s face, leaving him stunned.

“How dare you hit me?” A pair of murderous eyes instantly fixed on Li Shan.

The soldiers under the Commander’s command hunt Undead Creatures outside the city every day, their murderous aura was almost tangible.

“Hit you, how dare you barge into my private quarters unwarranted, allowing you to leave peacefully—where would the City Lord Mansion’s dignity be then?”

Mu Can had already prepared a set of reasons for her; frankly, if it wasn’t for Mu Can, even with the ability, Li Shan wouldn’t dare to strike the Commander.

Maintaining a balance with the General is the best scenario for the City Lord Mansion’s lineage for now.

“We’re leaving.” The Commander looked at Li Shan as if looking at a dead person, showing that the lineage of the City Lord Mansion is indeed acknowledged by the General.

Even a minor Commander dared to show murderous intent towards the City Lord’s precious daughter, not to mention the General himself.

Slap!

Another slap landed on the Commander’s face, and with a whoosh, he drew his long sword and pointed it directly at Li Shan.

His heart was filled with rage, without thinking why Li Shan, who in his eyes merely had the strength of the Wuwei Realm, could hit him on the face twice in a row, especially the second time when he was prepared.

“Kneel and apologize, then you can leave—do you really think the City Lord Mansion hasn’t got the means to deal with you?”

Li Shan didn’t even glance at the long sword in the Commander’s hand, just staring coldly into his eyes.

A chill instantly invaded the Commander’s mind.

If he really killed Li Shan inside the City Lord Mansion, a war would undoubtedly break out between the General and the City Lord Mansion.

That’s not something a minor Commander could bear.

You must know, although the General’s side has absolute advantage in power, the City Lord Mansion still controls the entire city.

Even the City Lord has the right to control the city gates and let all the Undead Creatures in.

This poses a significant threat to the General, and if not for this, the General would have already eliminated everyone in the City Lord Mansion.

“I’m sorry.” With this thought, the Commander instantly sheathed his sword, trembling as he stood there.

Just as he anticipated, he might have the power to easily kill Li Shan, but he lacked the courage to do so.

“Alright, get lost.” Li Shan waved her hand, and the Commander, leading a group, left the area.

“Boss, why didn’t you just kill her, go directly to the General to claim your merit?”

The Commander was just leaving Li Shan’s courtyard when a soldier asked.

They had already prepared their weapons, waiting for the Commander to make a move and then they would follow up with a flurry of blades to kill Li Shan.

In their eyes, there’s no such thing as mercy towards a beautiful transgressor; facing Undead Creatures every day, the immense psychological pressure made them forget most human emotions.

That’s the commonality of soldiers under the General, battling against Undead Creatures outside daily, they had lost much of their humanity.

“Now is not the time.” The Commander shook his head. Killing Li Shan wasn’t a big deal, but ruining the General’s plans, that was a crime deserving death.

“Hmph, this lineage of the City Lord Mansion, sooner or later they will all die cleanly.” The soldiers looked in the direction of the City Lord Mansion and cursed bitterly.

“Then, this Li Shan, I’ll enjoy first before letting you all have a turn—the City Lord’s daughter is a real catch.” The Commander thought of the two slaps he received, cursed viciously.

He knew the day was not far off, as long as they could find that outsider.
