Chapter 112 99,999 points!
Outside the Temple of Agriculture, only a purple halo remained in the field.
This is Hu Youniang's destiny.
The purple aura coming from the east signifies that Hu Youniang, as a woman of great fortune, is favored by Heaven and was born with great luck.
But Zhou Wei didn't intend to take this purple aura, nor did she plan to give it to the Princess.
To reiterate, Zhou Wei doesn't consider this kind of good fortune to be a good thing.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Wei looked at Yuan Xing, who was eyeing her menacingly.
Yuan Xing watched helplessly as Zhou Wei divided and arranged the several halos of light, his heart breaking. Now that only the last one remained, he had long since given up hope.
With Zhou Wei, that vicious woman, guarding her food like a hawk, there's no way he can snatch it.
But just as Yuan Xing was sighing, he suddenly saw Zhou Wei looking at him with a smile.
This startled Yuanxing, who was somewhat puzzled.
"Why is this wicked woman looking at me like that? Is she going to slap me again?"
Before Yuanxing could figure it out, he saw Zhou Wei hook the purple halo with her right foot and kick it directly at him.
Yuanxing was shocked by what he saw!
Unfortunately, he was no match for Zhou Wei in speed, and before he could dodge, the purple halo entered his body.
"Oh no! This can't be anything good. That poisonous woman would only give it to me like this, I..."
Yuanxing was about to curse Zhou Wei a couple more times when he suddenly heard the sound of the points system.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Fox Demon's Luck, which can be exchanged for points.]
integral?!
This purple halo is actually the fox demon's luck?
At this moment, Yuanxing wanted nothing more than to laugh wildly to the sky!
"Zhou Wei, so what if you monopolize these halos? You have no idea of their value, and now you've given them to me for nothing!"
Yuanxing immediately asked the system how many points the fox demon's luck could be exchanged for.
[Fox Demon Luck, can be exchanged for 99,999 points]
Upon hearing this, Yuanxing's expression of ecstatic joy froze on his face.
Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?
Why not 100,000?
Yuanxing clearly remembered that the Longevity Pill, that kind of miraculous elixir, required a minimum exchange of 100,000.
Just one point away!
"System, could you make an exception? I'm just one point short. Could you give me a Marrow Cleansing Pill first?"
“One day I will sacrifice the four members of the Mei family, and then I will give you this point.”
[Sorry, host, this points redemption system requires full redemption; credit is not available.]
When the desire for roundness is rejected, one feels like a cat scratching its head.
Being just one point away from achieving the goal is even more agonizing than having zero points.
Even when he had no points, he could at least face it calmly.
But now, with only one point missing, Yuanxing wished he could sacrifice the Mei family mother and son on the spot.
The way they looked at Mei Xingyue became terrifying!
Mei Xingyue felt her youngest son's gaze and said unhappily, "Xiao Yue, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yuanxing shook his head without speaking, his lowered eyes filled with a frantic longing.
"System, what can I redeem with over 90,000 points?"
[Aside from cultivation-related pills, which are currently unavailable, beauty and fertility-related items can be exchanged. Please check for yourself.]
Yuanxing immediately checked in her mind, and was shocked by the beauty and skin care pills, the skin smoothing pills, the body delicate pills, and the breath as sweet as orchids pills.
Most importantly, he actually saw the words "[Redeemed]" on the back of these pills.
"That country girl Su Yunjin possesses a rare treasure and can even exchange spatial crops for points... and yet she squanders all those points like this?"
"What kind of things are these being exchanged?!"
When Yuanxing saw his former owner Su Yunjin's exchange records, he almost vomited blood.
He really couldn't understand Su Yunjin's thought process.
Su Yunjin redeemed these beauty-enhancing pills bit by bit, spending over 100,000 points in total.
She didn't touch a single pill that could make her stronger.
Yuanxing had never seen such a stupid and dull woman!
"What is this woman thinking? With such an overpowered system, instead of focusing on becoming stronger, she's spending all her time on her appearance, really..."
Yuanxing was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Most importantly, while over 90,000 points may seem like a lot, to him it's as if he has nothing.
This feeling is truly agonizing.
Yuanxing couldn't help but look at Zhou Wei. This vicious woman was truly venomous!
Giving him over 90,000 points is worse than not giving them at all.
This action is simply disturbing his Buddhist mind!
Having nothing is far more agonizing than having something within reach.
Zhou Wei was unaware that her casual kick had sent Yuan Xing a time bomb.
Having distributed all the falling light in the arena, her mission was complete.
Back on the platform: "Princess, shall we go?"
Jiang Yueli clearly felt a change in her body at this moment, but in the chaos, she couldn't say much.
She said to the Crown Prince, "Yue Shan, today you are presiding over the grand ceremony of the literary tradition by order of the Emperor. Chu Tian Ce has deceived the Emperor and colluded with the fox demon to disrupt the literary tradition of our Great Zhou. I entrust you with cleaning up this mess."
The Crown Prince nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely report this matter to Father."
"At the latest, a notice will be issued tomorrow to announce to the world the evil deeds of Chu Tiance, this literary traitor."
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he was already impatient. He was waiting to recognize Mei Xingyue, and his eyes kept drifting towards the audience.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueli did not stop him and let the Crown Prince direct the Imperial Guards to disperse the crowd, leaving only Mei Xingyue and her son behind.
On the high platform, after the Crown Prince left, Jiang Yueli looked at Chen Wenyu again.
Before their deaths, neither the fox demon nor Chu Tianze explained the matter of cheating in the imperial examinations.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there was a problem with the provincial and palace examinations.
As the chief examiner, Chen Wenyu was filled with anxiety, fearing that the emperor would investigate the matter.
Chu Tiance's several policy essays share a consistent writing style, clearly indicating they were written by the same person!
If investigated thoroughly, this major case of cheating in the imperial examinations could implicate a whole host of people.
"Lord Chen, the instigator has been brought to justice. Do you think this matter is now closed?"
Faced with the princess's question, Chen Wenyu immediately knelt on the ground.
"I will obey the Princess's orders!"
Chen Wenyu knew that the Crown Prince would not investigate the matter further, but Jiang Yueli might not.
Jiang Yueli was pressured by civil officials and students from the north. If it weren't for the exposure of Chu Tiance's cheating this time...
If Chu Tianze were to cancel the engagement, Jiang Yueli would become a laughingstock of the entire world!
"Although Lord Chen's rank is not as high as that of Prime Minister Ning, his students and former officials are all over the country, and among civil officials, Lord Chen is the undisputed leader."
"As a princess, I have no desire to meddle in court affairs, but I am constantly being coerced by others."
“You civil officials cannot distinguish right from wrong, and you have been manipulated by those with ulterior motives, disregarding my reputation.”
"Lord Chen, do you think I should settle this score with you?"
Chen Wenyu's face was deathly pale, cold sweat poured down his face, and he lay on the ground trembling.
"Please, Your Highness, show mercy! Your Highness is a straightforward and upright person. It is I who am old and blind and have been deceived by treacherous people."
"Your Highness, rest assured, the Ministry of Rites will order the Hanlin Academy to write books about the princess, to spread her wisdom and serve as a role model for women throughout the land."
As Chen Wenyu spoke, she raised her head and looked directly at Jiang Yueli.
There was an unspoken understanding between the two.
In the blink of an eye, an alliance was formed.
Chen Wenyu said in a low voice, "Your Highness, if there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please just let me know."
Jiang Yueli smiled faintly.
The civil service is like that; they are willing to die and are not afraid of death.
But the most cowardly thing is the fear of death!
What they want is to be remembered in history, not to be criticized behind their backs.
If Chen Wenyu and others are executed for cheating in the imperial examinations, their clansmen will be ashamed to face the consequences.
Jiang Yueli reached out and helped Chen Wenyu up.
"You're too kind, my lord. I'm just a princess. What great ambitions could I possibly have? Am I waiting to become an empress? I just want to live a peaceful life."
"I have never been an enemy of you civil officials. To seize upon my words and actions as a woman is not the behavior of a gentleman."
Chen Wenyu stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and nodded repeatedly.
“Your Highness is right, this old minister will keep that in mind.”
"If Your Highness ever needs my help in the future, I will go through fire and water for you."
