Mysterious Figure in the Night

"What's this?"

Jiang Feng was utterly confused after seeing Su Qinghuan's message.

What did this mean?

When did Brother Leopard become a fierce beast?

Ding ling ling~

Before Jiang Feng could figure out what was going on, Su Qinghuan had already called him for a video chat.

"Director Su, good afternoon!"

Jiang Feng greeted with a smile.

"You little brat, still addressing me so formally? You're living a much more leisurely life than me now."

"I also heard you stumbled upon a huge doggy treasure?"

Su Qinghuan said with a grin on the other end of the call.

"Nothing of the sort, Director Su. It was bun who found it."

"The Forestry Bureau isn't going to take away even a giant panda's belongings, are they?"

Jiang Feng immediately eyed Su Qinghuan warily.

"What are you blathering about, you stinky brat? The Forestry Bureau isn't that shameless."

Su Qinghuan looked at Jiang Feng disdainfully.

The laws of Hua Country stipulated that anything without an owner, apart from certain minerals, belongs to whoever discovered it first.

The Forestry Bureau would never stoop so low as to rob others.

"By the way, do you know about your pet money leopard?"

Su Qinghuan asked at this point.

"What about it? Why has Brother Leopard become a fierce beast?"

Jiang Feng inquired curiously.

Since Brother Leopard had fled by jumping out of the car yesterday, he hadn't been seen again.

He didn't know if the fellow had really gone to take revenge on other animals.

"Your Brother Leopard killed an entire litter of hyenas!"

Su Qinghuan glared fiercely at Jiang Feng as he spoke.

Jiang Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.

There were hyenas in the Qinling Mountains again?

And he knew that hyenas were considered one of the natural predators of money leopards.

Money leopards didn't have many natural predators.

Apart from tigers, hyenas were about the only other animal.

Of course, in a one-on-one fight, a money leopard would never back down from a hyena.

But hyenas were pack animals while money leopards were solitary hunters.

If a money leopard encountered a pack of hyenas, all it could do was flee. A moment's inattention could prove fatal.

And Jiang Feng finally realized what animal had injured Brother Leopard.

It was the hyenas.

But what he hadn't expected was that Brother Leopard could actually take down an entire pack of hyenas.

It seemed Brother Leopard had become quite formidable.

"Director Su, you're wrong about that. If they couldn't beat Brother Leopard, it's their own incompetence, not anyone else's fault."

Jiang Feng shrugged and said happily.

But Su Qinghuan's face turned dark on the other end of the call.

"You need to keep a better eye on your Brother Leopard from now on. Rare animals are already so few in number..."

Su Qinghuan proceeded to lecture Jiang Feng at length.

About how hyenas had just become a nationally protected species...

How hyenas were even rarer than giant pandas...

Jiang Feng found it all quite absurd.

So anything with a small population could become a protected species?

"Director Su, let me interrupt you for a moment."

"Brother Leopard isn't actually my pet yet because I haven't adopted him. He's still a wild animal."

Jiang Feng looked at Su Qinghuan with a smile.

Su Qinghuan, who had been going on a spiel, was instantly dumbfounded.

After a pause, he roared, "I'll send you the adoption certificate right away!"

"Director Su, I have something to attend to, let's talk again later."

With that, Jiang Feng simply hung up on him.

Su Qinghuan was so furious that he nearly flipped the table over.

This stinky brat was too much!

He actually dared to hang up on him!

Su Qinghuan plopped down on the sofa in his office.

After calming himself down, he sent Jiang Feng another text message.

"You destroyed the ecology of Mount Taibai by digging up Solomon's Seal today. Pay a fine when you get back."

Meanwhile, in the mountains, Jiang Feng's mood had greatly improved after learning that Brother Leopard was fine.

"Looks like Brother Leopard succeeded in taking revenge. I wonder what hyenas taste like..."

Jiang Feng shook his head with a sigh, then noticed Su Qinghuan's message about paying a fine.

"Get me to pay a fine? Dream on!"

Jiang Feng chuckled. With the Three-colored Divine Water, restoring the ecology of this area would be a breeze.

With that thought, Jiang Feng put down the tent he was holding.

He went back to the area where the Solomon's Seal was and prepared to replant them.

With the Three-colored Divine Water, he didn't have to worry about them failing to take root.

What Jiang Feng didn't know was that the entire internet in Hua Country was in an uproar because of him.

When netizens learned that gold could be dug up beneath Solomon's Seal,

especially after watching Jiang Feng's live broadcast, many went crazy.

They wanted to find Solomon's Seal too!

They wanted to dig for gold!

In just half a day, a craze for finding Solomon's Seal and digging for gold had swept across Hua Country.

Many fantasized about striking it rich overnight like bun with his doggy treasure.

Eventually, the forestry bureaus in various regions had to issue a public notice.

[You can't dig up gold under Solomon's Seal! But it will damage the local environment! Anyone caught will be severely punished!]

With this notice from the forestry bureaus, the vast majority of people dared not dig up Solomon's Seal anymore.

Because the environmental laws in Hua Country were extremely strict.

The gold you found might not even be enough to cover the fines!

So now, the whole internet was gloating over Jiang Feng's misfortune.

They wanted to see what kind of punishment he would receive.

...

By the time Jiang Feng had replanted all the Solomon's Seal and set up his tent again,

night had completely fallen over the mountains.

The dark forests were filled with unknown dangers.

A moment's inattention could result in being bitten by some unidentified animal.

So Jiang Feng quickly called the two little ones into the tent.

Then he took out some snacks, lay down in the tent, and started watching a movie.

bun and Yuan Xiao snuggled up on either side of Jiang Feng's arms,

watching the show together with him.

Woo woo woo!

bun let out occasional cries while watching, full of curiosity about everything.

Jiang Feng was so annoyed that he wanted to chase it out.

"Forget it, let's just sleep!"

Jiang Feng turned off his phone, hugged bun and Yuan Xiao with both arms, and fell asleep.

Strangely enough, having these two little ones around did make him feel quite warm through the night.

However, Jiang Feng was unaware that not far from his tent, a pair of dark eyes was fixed upon it.

It wasn't until the late hours of the night that those eyes turned and left.

...

Lulled by the sounds of insects in the surroundings, Jiang Feng slept soundly through the night.

But Jiang Feng kept feeling like some animal was licking his face.

"bun, Yuan Xiao, stop messing around and let me sleep a little longer," Jiang Feng mumbled sleepily as he pushed something away.

He then rolled over onto his other side.

But then he suddenly felt like bun was sitting on his body again.

At this point, Jiang Feng could no longer sleep.

He opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, and said discontentedly,

"bun, you guys... Whoa, who are you?"

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
