“Depart immediately!”
Seeing the Chief of the Cabinet’s confident demeanor, Gong Yiyi did not hesitate and was the first to leave the conference room, walking quickly as if trying to escape.
“As expected of the Chief of the Cabinet! You’re the only one with a solution!” The other cabinet ministers looked at the second-in-command of the cabinet with eyes full of gratitude and surprise.
The Chief of the Cabinet smiled gently.
“Please!”
Thus, the R country cabinet prime minister’s faction rushed to the Imperial Palace in a flurry.
At this moment, Bai Ye had already checked into a major hotel using his real personal information, no longer needing to worry about the R country’s high-ranking officials bothering him. The current R country’s high-ranking officials were doing everything they could to avoid him!
If it weren’t for some prior arrangement with Princess Qing He, Bai Ye would have indeed paid a visit to the Prime Minister’s official residence the moment he left the Sunken Country Ghost Latrine. Going now, obtaining the R country’s live broadcast rights would have been a sure thing.
However, after a conversation with Princess Qing He, Bai Ye now truly felt that creating such a massive disturbance, coupled with the R country’s high-ranking officials’ various unfriendly behaviors since his arrival in R country, would make a live broadcast right too cheap for them.
This wasn’t quite in line with his personality either!
The R country cabinet could use a shake-up.
Would Hou Ying interfere, Bai Ye wondered, as he sat on the comfortable long chair in the simply luxurious room, gazing at the vibrant city lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, leisurely sipping the fine red wine provided by the hotel.
In Great Xia Country, as night deepened, the citizens who should have been preparing for bed and the next day’s work and studies were suddenly celebrating across the nation late into the night due to a trending news item.
R country’s ‘Sunken Country Ghost Latrine’ suddenly caught fire and was completely destroyed, the cause of the fire not yet determined…
“Holy crap! Holy crap! Heaven has eyes!”
“Finally, I’ve been waiting for you…”
“Hahaha! So satisfying!”
“The people of Modu send their congratulations…”
“The people of Qiongzhou send their congratulations…”
“The people of Yunzhou send their congratulations…”
At this moment, the domestic internet was in an uproar. People spread the news, and various social platforms were abuzz with topics about the destruction of the ‘Sunken Country Ghost Latrine,’ with near unanimous sentiment across the country.
Those with a passionate disposition even went out for a late-night drink at the night market. No one bothered to know the specific reason; after all, its destruction brought satisfaction!
Even the CCTV media of Great Xia Country were playing, intentionally or unintentionally, a song: “Today is a Good Day…”
Modu, to its northeast, Ming Island.
Elder Song paced back and forth in the operations room, a smile on his face.
With a “ding,” his phone signaled activity. Elder Song quickly checked it, and the smile lines on his face deepened.
“Good kid, you’re truly worthy!”
Laughing heartily, Elder Song hurriedly called the leader. After a report, the leader Zhang Yumin also laughed unrestrainedly, which was rare.
“Hahaha! So satisfying, this kid, he did what generations of us wanted to do but couldn’t.”
“Isn’t that right!!”
The two old men laughed heartily.
“So, this kid Bai Ye really took down a calamity-level monster?”
Elder Song replied, “Confirmed, absolutely! This kid has surprised us greatly once again!”
“We already thought highly of him, capable of challenging a calamity-level existence! We never expected it wasn’t just a challenge, but that he possessed the terrifying strength to kill it alone. Moreover, from the analysis of the information obtained, the battle process was very brief, and the collateral damage wasn’t extensive, meaning this kid held the absolute advantage!”
“Excellent!” Leader Zhang Yumin’s eyes lit up, and the smile on his face could no longer be concealed. However, after smiling for a while, his smile suddenly stopped.
“Old Song… shouldn’t we have him come back? If this continues, I’m afraid those Western countries will shamelessly and brazenly poach this kid!”
“This… indeed…” Elder Song’s laughter also vanished abruptly, and he nodded with a serious expression. “I’ll talk to him…”
…
Imperial Palace, Prince’s Residence.
“It’s over.” Prince Hou Ying put down the carving knife in his hand and looked at the wooden sculpture, nodding slightly.
“How is it? Does it look like him?”
Princess Qing He, whose attention had been fixed on the ‘Sunken Country Ghost Latrine’ to the northwest, heard Prince Hou Ying’s question, turned her head, and her exquisitely beautiful face revealed a hint of astonishment.
“This… it’s incredibly lifelike!” Amidst Princess Qing He’s surprised gaze, there was also a trace of strangeness.
The wooden sculpture in Prince Hou Ying’s hand was none other than Bai Ye. His handsome features, exuding a touch of roguishness and confidence…
No way? This cantankerous fellow… is he gay? Princess Qing He’s mind inexplicably conjured some strange thoughts. She then recalled Bai Ye’s nearly perfect image and the rumors that he had more male fans than female fans…
Hiss… Princess Qing He, who had never been particularly interested in romantic relationships, suddenly felt a surge of excitement!!
Prince Hou Ying’s gentle yet unfathomably deep eyes glanced at Princess Qing He, as if seeing through her little thoughts. He simply smiled lightly.
“He’s an interesting fellow.”
“?” Princess Qing He suddenly felt she couldn’t understand his words. Many guesses and thoughts flashed through her mind.
“So, he won?” she asked, her face appearing nonchalant, though inwardly her emotions were in turmoil. After all, Bai Ye was crucial to the realization of her aspirations!
“He won.”
Hou Ying nodded, causing Princess Qing He’s body to relax instantly.
“Princess, the Prime Minister wishes to see you!” As they were talking, a maid cautiously called from outside.
The two in the room remained composed.
Princess Qing He smiled, “He probably wants me to speak on their behalf, to ask Your Highness the Prince to intervene.”
Prince Hou Ying smiled faintly. “As you know, I have no intention of getting involved in these matters.”
With that, Prince Hou Ying stood up and left. Princess Qing He wore a smile, and a hint of joy appeared in her clear, beautiful eyes. It was always like this when people with high positions and power requested an audience; she would be the one to politely decline.
Suddenly, Prince Hou Ying stopped.
“You have a collaboration with him? Hurry up, too much noise will disrupt my creative process.”
